1231 What Was Her Connection? (2/2)

Di Fuyi moved swiftly and landed right in front of her. He pulled out his hand to hold hers. ”Why didn't you wait for me to come to the carnival?”

Gu Xijiu took a step back to avoid him. Softly, she said, ”Are you going to take me back to apologize to your friend? There is no need for that. I promised to be back in two hours, so I will be there when the time is up. I will not run away.”

Di Fuyi did not manage to hold her. Astonished, he responded apologetically, ”Xijiu, it is not your fault, so you do not have to be sorry. They owe you an apology instead.”

With a faint smile, she answered, ”Why is that so?”

”Miss Gu, it is not your fault. It was Jingyi who misbehaved. She acted rudely. I would like to apologize to you on her behalf.” Lan Yaoguang emerged out of thin air and landed on the stage as well. He swayed his sleeves to the side while facing her.

”The king of the mermaids is here!”

”Your Majesty!”

The crowd went berserk at the sight of their king and quickly bowed to him. However, they were all equally puzzled as they looked at Gu Xijiu. She seemed like a lady of an impressive background. Mr. Huang intended to hold her hand as they talked and the king of mermaids was here to send her an apology. What had happened? What was her connection?

Sincerely, Lan Yaoguang looked at Gu Xijiu and spoke, ”To express my genuine apology, I would like to compensate for you. I shall pay for all your expenses at the carnival.”

Gu Xijiu smiled briefly. ”There is no need for that. I know that you were only eager to protect your sister, not knowing what exactly happened before. There is no wrong for you to step in. I am not unreasonable, so I will not blame you. Therefore, I shall not take your compensation.”

Lan Yaoguang was relieved to have heard her words. She was a righteous lady who was deeply conscious of the principles of right and wrong.

He could not hold back his amusement and let out a loud cheerful laugh. ”Haha, that is great! You are indeed bold and forthright. You have a great voice as well. I was blown away by your performance. You should be the champion for the singing contest. I shall now reward you with the luminous pearl!”
