1234 I Don’t Think I Have Anything To Buy (1/2)
Gu Xijiu did not let him look. ”It isn't hurt. You've only shattered that dagger.” Her tone was light.
Di Fuyi loosened his breath. ”That dagger wasn't good enough. Wait till I get back and craft one personally for you—it'll be a hundred times better than that other one!”
Gu Xijiu did not speak. There are times where the importance of a blade does not lie in its quality, but what it symbolizes instead.
Gu Xijiu has always been rational and could barely understand Di Fuyi's moment of anxiety at that situation, so she did not want to suspect him anymore.
Even though she had not betrothed to him, it had not been easy for them to come to this stage. Gu Xijiu understood how much he loved and valued himself; yet, it was merely an understanding—a bag of soreness had grown inside her heart.
However, compared to this bag of soreness, she was more concerned with another matter. ”Were you once that princess's brother-in-law?”
Di Fuyi's fingers froze for a moment. He took a look at her, ”You're concerned about this?”
What tripe is this!
Gu Xijiu was brazen in her speech. ”If someone you didn't know popped out of nowhere and called you their sister-in-law, won't you be concerned?”
Di Fuyi was speechless.
He pondered for a moment before replying, ”This affair… is not what you think it is. I did not become her brother-in-law, as I was not engaged with her sister… That was a misunderstanding that happened a few thousand years ago.”
”A misunderstanding?” Gu Xijiu raised an eyebrow.
It was clear that Di Fuyi was concealing a secret. He sighed. ”Xijiu, I've promised someone never to mention that incident again. Moreover, her sister had already passed away a few thousand years ago, there's no need for you to be envious of her.”
It was now Gu Xijiu's turn to be speechless.
Di Fuyi put his hand on hers. ”Alright. Darling, the carnival organized by the mermaids over here only occurs once a year. It's full of good stuff, and we took quite some effort to get here—let's not miss it!”
