Chapter 850: I Treat You As A Friend While You Take Me For A Pervert?!
He didn’t love her and would never love her. He had no ulterior motives towards her, but was linked to her by Snakel.
It didn’t matter who he was doing it for, the fact that Wabei would go through boiling water and tread over fire for her was indisputable, wasn’t it?
Wabei’s hairs stood on end from being stared at by Gu Mengmeng in that manner. He smacked the side of her head with a frown. “What the shit are you smiling at?!”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “I am smiling at you, so you are… shit?”
Exasperated, Wabei rolled his eyes. “I really can’t understand why he likes you? There’s really something wrong with his taste in women.”
Gu Mengmeng lifted her chin. “Your former partner is Ellie—doesn’t look like your taste is any better than Snakel’s.”
Wabei snorted scornfully. “What partner? She is just a tool for me to be promoted. She is useful to me, nothing to do with me liking her. That is not proof of my taste.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled knowingly. “Then tell me, what kind of females do you like? I can help introduce some females to you next time.”
Wabei clicked his tongue. “No way. Females are all troublesome creatures. Don’t do unnecessary things and impede my progress.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed out loud. “So you do like Snakel?”
After being stunned for a second, Wabei hollered in rage. “I treat you as a friend while you take me for a pervert?!”
Gu Mengmeng said in all seriousness, “Eh, you can’t say such things. You are being discriminatory. Everyone has the right to choose their own partner. Some people just happen to prefer people of the same gender. How is that being a pervert?”
Wabei was speechless from Gu Mengmeng’s lecture. He was naturally no match for Gu Mengmeng’s verbal skills. After struggling for a long while, he still didn’t manage to come up with a retort. In the end, he just gave a heavy grunt. It appeared like he was truly angry now.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t provoke him further and just patted his shoulder. “I did ask my father about sending you over, but he avoided the topic. It was obvious he was unwilling to tell me. But don’t worry, I will keep this matter in mind for you. I will help you ask my father again the next time I go back to visit him. Perhaps one day, he might be tired of my questions and tell me.”
Only then did Wabei calm down. He cleared his throat. “If you press him like that… will there be any trouble?”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “Who knows? I am not too familiar with him. I have never seen him lose his temper. But at the very least, he won’t kill me… after all, he still wants me to continue watching television with him.”
Wabei nodded. “I will remember that you have done me this favor. Whether or not you succeed, I am grateful to you.”
Gu Mengmeng draped her arm around Wabei’s shoulder with a smile. “We are friends, no need for such formalities.”
Having clarified their standing with each other, Gu Mengmeng and Wabei felt more comfortable in their interactions. But Wabei was still not used to Gu Mengmeng’s sudden change in manner, and wriggled his shoulder uneasily. He frowned after failing to shrug off her hand. “Eh, can you not touch me?”
Gu Mengmeng felt a sense of mischief at seeing Wabei trying to shrink away. She grinned. “Aiya, what’s one hug? You were holding me when we were at the bottom of the ocean, weren’t you?!”
A shocked exclamation resonated inside the cave. Gu Mengmeng looked up into the black faces of Elvis and Lea. Before she could ask them about their whereabouts, she was pulled into Lea’s embrace, after which… Elvis and Wabei started fighting…
