Gu Xijiu realized that it was all in her mind and she had to straighten herself out. She laughed as she responded to Di Fuyi, “Huh? We used to be in love?”
Lan Yaoguang shook his head. However, just as he had a glimpse of her pale complexion, he paused. He did not know whether to nod or to shake his head.
“I have no recollection of you. I would never want to spend my entire life with a stranger! This divorce had better be done.” Her voice suddenly turned indifferent, as if bringing along with it an ice-cold breeze. He had smashed her fragile heart into the mud. Hence, she would never allow herself to be close to him again.
Her gaze fell onto Di Fuyi’s face as if he were a stranger. There was darkness in her eyes. “I suppose my Lord does not want himself in a marriage with a woman who does not love him, am I right? Why not get a divorce? It would be a break for both of us.”
She did not want him to be there any longer! She was only suppressing her emotions, composing herself. No one else would know that her body was shivering, and her mind was beyond her control. His presence now would lead to her breakdown.
Di Fuyi’s face was pale but his emotions were undecipherable. Suddenly, he flipped his sleeves and charged a colorful flash of light towards Gu Xijiu. However, as his emotions were not entirely in control that day, the colorful flash of light went askew. Gu Xijiu was wary of him, and she managed to dodge it.
Eventually, the colourful flash of light did not hit Gu Xijiu, but it hit Lan Yaoguang instead. Lan Yaoguang was struck by blackness before his eyes. His body limped and wavered before he toppled on the ground, and fell asleep.
Di Fuyi was speechless.
Gu Xijiu looked at Lan Yaoguang on the ground, knowing that had she not dodged his attack, she would be in Lan Yaoguang’s spot now. She took a step backward and gave him a cold smile. “What were you trying to do?”
Was he trying to erase her memories again so that Lan Jingke could return?
Di Fuyi inhaled a breath of air, and said, “You are not calm right now. Let us wait until you are calm enough to discuss this marriage again… I will come and visit in a couple of days.” As he turned, he vanished. He was in a hurry, almost knocking himself onto the pillar behind him as he turned.
Of course, he had forgotten to break the spell from Lan Yaoguang. The pitiful Lan Yaoguang was sleeping on the ground all by himself. It was only Gu Xijiu who was awake in the hall.
The hall was in a mess. Gu Xijiu stood in the middle of it as she felt the limp in her legs and the shivering of her fingers. Revenge piled up in her head. However, her mind was beyond her control to think of a strategic plan today.
She looked at the marriage bracelet on her wrist. Disgusted, she shifted her gaze. She did not want to see it!
She was determined to yank the bracelet off her wrist. She tried many times but to no avail. It was as if the bracelet had grown out of her wrist. Due to her multiple attempts, her wrist was now swollen.
