Chapter 669: Suffering a Double Loss
“Yeah, I understand.” Gu Mengmeng laughed.
What Lea meant was for her to not worry about Cole’s plans because he and Elvis would do everything to stop Cole from stepping close to her.
Actually, he was protecting her, right?
How stiff, why must he say it in such an awkward way?
“You really understand?” Lea asked in half doubt, “What do you decide to do with that Burke?”
Gu Mengmeng sighed and said, “Kanwu seemed like he quite valued this Master of his, even Hede and Jialue side him too. I’m scared that the kids will be sad if my attitude is too hard on him…..the little wolves can’t receive any more blows.”
Lea squinted and said with a tint of dangerous aura, “So, you plan to allow him to wander about by your side using the little wolves?”
The thought of it made him annoyed.
Gu Mengmeng glanced over at Elvis who lied on the ground, not daring to move a single inch. She said with a displeased tone, “Don’t we have to blame a particular person? Our son already opened his mouth to request for guidance but he still acted haughty and even asked our son ‘Why should I’. Tsk….”
Elvis wanted to explain but he swallowed his words back after thinking over it.
Upon seeing how Elvis wanted to say something but could not, Lea laughed and said, rejoicing over his misfortune, “That particular person wanted to train Kanwu’s arrogance so he wanted to let Kanwu beg him a few more times in order for the little wolves to identify who had the real authority in the family was. But what a pity, Kanwu turned his head around to make Burke his Master. Now all’s good, he didn’t even get to control his son when he lured a potential love rival back home. Ha, isn’t this suffering a double loss?”
Elvis did not dare to retort Gu Mengmeng, but that did not mean that he would allow Lea to step over him. Thus, his face darkened and he said, “I heard you taught Jialue for a long time, judging from today’s situation…..your coaching is quite effective.”
Lea almost bit his tongue. Recalling how Jialue acted earlier, it really made him boil in anger but there was nothing he could do either.
Turning to look at Gu Mengmeng, he pinched her little nose, punishing her before saying, “You always shield them, that’s why they defy all laws and regulations. I’m afraid there’s no one left to control them in the future.”
Thinking about her own sons, Gu Mengmeng’s eyes started spewing out a Mother’s glow. She lied against Lea’s chest and said, “Indigo blue is extracted from the indigo plant but is bluer than the plant it comes from, the next generation will be stronger than the previous one.”
The rays from the sun made her feel comfortable and she was also tired from all the ruckus in the afternoon so she lied there and fell into a deep sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying in Elvis’s arms.
Elvis sat in the tree hole with a formidable aura, as if that was not a tree hole but a supreme king’s seat. He resembled a ruler in the night, looking down from a commanding position in overweening arrogance. Gu Mengmeng appeared exceptionally petite and vulnerable in his arms, giving off the scene of King Zhou of Shang with his demonic concubine Daji.
There were 19 fireplaces in front of them with two of the biggest ones set beside Gu Mengmeng. Lea and Auretin were working together to skewer the meat together before placing them on some clean leaves. Ian was half-lying and half-sitting on the tree branch above Gu Mengmeng, giving off an unruly and carefree aura like a drunkard lying on the battlefield. It’s just that he was still looking ill, causing him to lack the bold and romantic charm of a warrior. Instead, he looked like a sick and weak crown prince who was just following the army, he was a pretty decoration but not useful in killing the enemies on the battlefield.
“You’re awake?” A gentle voice sounded from above her head. Gu Mengmeng lifted her face and her eyes met with Elvis’s deep gaze. She chuckled and nodded.
