Chapter 967: Are You Giving That Spot Over Your Heart To Him?
Meanwhile, after Leonard sent off Dora and handed over some tribe matters to witch doctor Nick, he went over to Gu Mengmeng and bowed. “Alright, we can all set off now.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded without a word. She let Leonard lead while her party followed behind.
She didn’t know if she was imagining things but Gu Mengmeng felt Leonard was leading them in circles around Zacharias, but every round seemed slightly different.
Could this be a deceptive misdirection set down by her lonely old man?
Nevertheless, Gu Mengmeng kept her suspicions to herself.
In this way, they walked around for nearly the entire day. The moon had already risen and the stars were strewn across the sky. Leonard finally halted. “It’s here. But we need to wait till tomorrow morning before we can see the entrance.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded in agreement.
Leonard said, “The topography here is rather complex. Don’t move about unnecessarily. I will go hunting.”
Leonard left without waiting for Gu Mengmeng to respond. Peter didn’t think he should go off alone and so shot Elvis a look before following Leonard, to “help” him.
After the two of them left, Elvis and Lea, who had both been brooding the entire journey, burst out in rage.
Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s waist and asked in a grave manner. “So it’s been decided? To select an auspicious time to partner with him after we return to Saint Nazaire? Mmm?”
“No, no.” Gu Mengmeng waved in denial.
Lea bit Gu Mengmeng’s left ear gently, leaving faint teeth marks but no bruise. Jealousy brewed in his slanted eyes. “I knew that you liked that young punk. When he hurt my face, not only did you not blame him you still protected him. You blamed me for using a rock to seal up the well and preventing him from coming out. What? You no longer like my face now? Your taste has changed and you now like that bland and childish fellow?”
“No, no. “Gu Mengmeng shook her head.
Elvis pinched Gu Mengmeng’s chin as he stared at her with blue eyes that held unfathomable depths. In a low voice traced with the aura of death, he said, “You didn’t give that position over your heart to me or Lea. So you intend to give it to him?”
“No, no…”
Lea said, “Ha, I remember. You previously said you liked his eyes. That it was as clear as the Northern Star. Since you like them so much, I will dig them out for you? Take his eyes, but stop liking him.”
Gu Mengmeng held her cheek. “Calm down. Can you just let me explain?”
Elvis and Lea shut their mouths with “please start your performance” expressions.
Gu Mengmeng was already mentally prepared for this. From the moment she spoke those words, she knew the two green-eyed monsters in her family would go mad. Hence, she was not at all flustered. “I don’t like Fei Rui, and he has no such intentions towards me either. I only said that just now as I cannot bear to hand over such a naive guy like Fei Rui over to Dora. Alright, after we return to Saint Nazaire, I will send Fei Rui back to the ocean. If he refuses to leave, I will personally make him into a sautéed sliced fish dish, how about that?”
Actually, Elvis and Lea both knew there was nothing between Gu Mengmeng and Fei Rui.
After all, such a long time had passed since Fei Rui had followed them back from the ocean, and Gu Mengmeng had nearly forgot about his existence.
