Chapter 244 - Even Though I Know I’m Not Worthy, I Still Love You
Clenching her teeth, Gu Mengmeng squeezed every word from the gaps of her teeth. She pointed at the large tail wrapped around her waist and coldly said, “Release me or else I have ten thousand ways to make you regret.”
“Such as?” Seeing Gu Mengmeng’s furious expression, Lea, on the other hand, calmed down.
He was not afraid of her being noisy or creating a ruckus. If she said that she wanted to kill him for her anger to subside, he was even willing to open his chest wide for her to dig his heart out and empty his liver.
What he was afraid was that Gu Mengmeng would have no reaction to whatever he did, as if he was truly not important anymore.
He could at least still make her angry, that was excellent good news already.
Gu Mengmeng admitted that the harsh sentence she just said escaped from her lips on impulse.
But being pressed further by Lea like that, she had no choice but to cook up a plan to convince him that she was really capable of doing crazy things.
Sniggering suddenly, Gu Mengmeng said, “For example, ruining your treasured tribe… hurting your loved female… overturning everything you care for while only you… remain alive and well.”
“With my presence, I won’t allow anyone to hurt my beloved female.” Lea touched Gu Mengmeng’s face lightly and continued in utmost tenderness, “I won’t allow it even if it’s you.”
Gu Mengmeng swatted the hand Lea used to touch her face and said, “Don’t say that you love me again because you’re not worthy.”
Lea did not say a word and just look at Gu Mengmeng quietly. Seeing how she did not plan to continue talking, he slowly opened her mouth, “But… even though I know I’m not worthy, I still love you.”
Gu Mengmeng felt her chest turning numb. She did not know whether she still had feelings for him or whether she was just acting loose but no matter what it was, she could not accept it.
Gu Mengmeng breathed two deep breaths and tried to escape from this kind of ‘Breaking-up Ring’ atmosphere that Lea was playing up.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea and tried to speak in a calm voice, “The reason why I allow you to stay in the cave is for you to treat Elvis and not for you to tease me. If you dare to tease me again, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”
She’s… ousting him away…
Lea was taken aback. In the past, Gu Mengmeng always stuck to him like glue. Whenever she saw him, she would pounce onto him. She even begged him to go home with her despite making her sad back then at Nina’s house. But now… she wants him to leave?
Lea knew that maybe he forced Gu Mengmeng too hard today.
He laughed at himself. Lea, who was so skilled in contriving others’ will, actually would lose his sense of propriety one day.
Lowering his head, Lea eventually let go of his own tail and said with a wronged expression, “From the start, I just wanted to help you wash the bowls…”
Gu Mengmeng looked at the cutlery that had long fell on the ground and turned around, saying, “Since you like washing them so much, go on and wash them. This is the last time. I won’t eat the food that you make in the future.”
After Gu Mengmeng finished speaking, she turned back into the cave to find Elvis.
Looking at Gu Mengmeng’s back figure, Lea suddenly lost all energy and dropped down cross-legged on the ground. He hugged onto his own tail and sighed after staying silent for a long time, saying, “Looks like you’ve fallen into disfavor too. She used to like you so much but now, she’s not even willing to look at you again. It’s me… I’ve implicated you.”
And on the other side, Gu Mengmeng huddled up in Elvis’s arms, burying her head into his chest. She started sobbing secretly, pulling onto Elvis’s ears with one hand but in the end, she did not bear to exert too much strength and could only grumble while crying, “Why are you not waking up yet? I really really need you now… why aren’t you waking up to accompany me…”
