Chapter 968: My Heart Aches So Badly.
But it was one thing to know this and another to hear Gu Mengmeng personally admit that another male belonged to her. It still made Elvis and Lea feel disgusted.
Gu Mengmeng knew this but she couldn’t think of another reason to reject Dora’s request then. So she had just casually tossed that out. And it was because she truly had no romantic feelings toward Fei Rui that she dared to make such a claim in front of Elvis and Lea. If she fancied Fei Rui even the tiniest bit, she would never have said that before those two. She would have quickly extinguished those feelings right from the onset.
But the good thing was she was already satisfied with having Elvis and Lea. She no longer held any such feelings towards other males.
Gu Mengmeng spent half the day coaxing Elvis and Lea with sweet words, and also promised that she would never again claim that other males belong to her. Only then did the two guys reluctantly let the matter go.
But…
Lea gently hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin. “Mengmeng, although what you said today wasn’t true, my distress was real. You promised me that I will be your last partner, but you don’t seem to care about my feelings. You stated publicly that you are taking in Fei Rui… my heart aches so terribly.”
“I do care. How can I possibly not care about your feelings?” Gu Mengmeng placed her hand over Lea’s heart.
Lea refused to yield and turned aside. “If it only takes words to show one’s concern, what would a mute person do?”
Gu Mengmeng, “…”
Lea hustled forward. “If you love me… prove it with some action?”
Gu Mengmeng thought about it before raising her two hands to make a heart sign.
Lea gently held onto Gu Mengmeng’s forearm, and used the fingers of his other hand to imitate a walking man. He walked up Gu Mengmeng’s forearm with two fingers, his slanted eyes following closely—going pass her round shoulders and her fair neck, before finally holding her face gently and meeting her eyes. “You clearly know I don’t mean this… right?”
Gu Mengmeng had gone numb. They have been partners for more than year now. How could she not know what Lea was hinting at?
“Erm… we will talk about this again after we retrieve the Soul of the Forest and return to Saint Nazaire. We… we are in the midst of wilderness…”
Lea said with half-closed eyes, “You and Elvis did it once in the wilderness, why can’t you do it with me?”
Yes, she and Elvis had done that before once on the way to the beauty pageant.
But recalling that incident, Gu Mengmeng couldn’t help blushing.
She shook her head resolutely. “No, no. We still have official business tomorrow morning. We need to conserve our energy.”
Lea said, “Do you doubt my stamina?”
Gu Mengmeng choked….
Haha, doubt his stamina?
Whenever they carried out that activity, it would only end when she fainted from the exertion. She had no idea what were the limits to Elvis and Lea’s stamina.
And she dared not challenge such a thing. She might die from over-exertion.
As they finished speaking, Leonard and Peter returned bringing along some hunted game. Gu Mengmeng pleaded with her eyes and Lea gritted his teeth. “Remember your promise. You will make it up to me when we return to Saint Nazaire.”
Gu Mengmeng quickly agreed and the matter was finally put to rest.
After a relatively peaceful night, the sun’s first rays shone down on them the next morning. Gu Mengmeng was woken by Elvis’ gentle kiss. Rubbing her eyes, Gu Mengmeng tried to rouse herself. She mumbled incoherently before slumping back into Elvis’ arms, waiting for the last vestiges of sleep to fade away.
