Chapter 239 - You Didn’t Take Enough Liberties, Did You?!
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head profusely and cried with a sobbing tone, “Lea, hurry and save Elvis…”
Lea maintained his light smile and stood at the entrance, not moving at all. He remained silent for a while before speaking, “After all, we’re love rivals. If he dies, it’s good news for me.”
“Lea!” Gu Mengmeng hollered his name out at the top of her lungs.
Lea was stunned and almost could not maintain the smile on his face.
This was the first time Gu Mengmeng was staring at him with that gaze and calling his name with that tone… for another male.
Lea used the time of two breaths to forcefully calm down his own emotions before continuing, “So, if you want me to save him, you’ve to agree to three of my conditions.”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her teeth and said, “Sure, as long as you can save him. Let alone three conditions, I can even agree to 300 of your conditions!”
Lea nodded his head and took a step into the cave, saying, “The first condition, I’ve to stay here for winter.”
Gu Mengmeng did not open her mouth yet when Lea added, “Elvis needs to be taken care of, you can’t possibly let me take the risk of rushing to and fro in the snow, right?”
Gu Mengmeng glanced at the howling snowstorm outside the cave and nodded her head, agreeing, “Elvis’s cave is very big, you won’t lack a place to sleep.”
Lea heaved a sigh of relief before stepping his second step into the cave, saying, “The second condition, until winter ends and the snow outside the cave melts on its own, you’ve to sing ‘My Little Happiness’ once everyday, to reward me for treating Elvis.”
Gu Mengmeng wanted to reject. She knew what this song meant to both of them. Lea had already mated with Nina and she was also Elvis’s female. Was singing this song now appropriate? What’s the use?
But looking at Lea’s ‘if you don’t agree, I’ll leave immediately’ stance, Gu Mengmeng clenched her teeth and agreed, “Sure, I’ll sing!”
Lea stepped his third step forward and just nice, he walked up to Elvis. He bent his body slightly to match up to Gu Mengmeng’s height, staring into her eyes while saying, “The last condition, whenever you talk to me, I want you to always call me ‘Daddy Lea’.”
Gu Mengmeng widened her eyes at Lea and said, “You didn’t take enough liberties, did you?! Don’t push your luck! We’re covering all your food, lodging and even entertainment service. Our consultation fees is considered quite a lot already, alright?”
“We…” Lea’s gaze faltered for a moment, the angle of the curve on his lips changing slightly and his fingers forming a fist unknowingly. However, he did not dare to let Gu Mengmeng notice any clue, so he tried to maintain the smiley face that she loved and used the holy calmness she adored to smash his heart to bits in order to mark a vermilion birthmark on her. He muttered, “Once, you and me, were ‘we’ too.”
“What’s the point of saying all of these now?! One sentence, do you want to save or not?!” Gu Mengmeng hollered at the top of her voice.
“If you don’t agree, I won’t save him.” Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng, not having any intention to give in. He wants to know… for Elvis, would she agree to something she did not want to do?
Lea, now, was feeling very complicated too. He was anticipating her to agree… but on the other hand, he was afraid that she would really agree.
“Alright, Daddy Lea, Grandpa Lea, Ancestor Lea, I beg you, save my husband.” Gu Mengmeng held onto the bloody Elvis and stared at Lea firmly. In her eyes, Lea could not see the initial infatuation, the initial bashfulness, the initial ignorance and the initial….liking towards him.
