Chapter 1020 - Hide It for Her Entire Life
The Beast Deity smiled without saying anything, Gu Mengmeng then understood that the answer was ‘no’.
The answer was the same every single time, Gu Mengmeng did not even have the strength to feel sad over it.
She hugged the Beast Deity before leaving and said, “One only knew the hard work his parents put in when he was raising a child on his own, I must have brought about many troubles to you… when I was young and stubborn.”
The Beast Deity patted Gu Mengmeng’s back gently and kindly, he said, “No, most of the time you have made me proud. Besides, you accompany me to watch dramas.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and said, “You must be the most flippant deity I have ever seen or heard before.”
The Beast Deity did not comment and just watched Gu Mengmeng fall all the way.
When Gu Mengmeng had recovered from the feeling of weightlessness, she opened her eyes and sure enough, she saw a pair of blue eyes.
It was as though Elvis had been looking at her without resting every time Gu Mengmeng went to meet the Beast Deity. Because she had always met his gentle and concerned look whenever she opened her eyes.
Gu Mengmeng did not rush to stand up, instead, she turned around and hugged Elvis’s waist. Her small body snuggled into Elvis’s arms as she called with a hoarse voice, “Hubby.”
“Yes, I am here.” Elvis brushed through Gu Mengmeng’s hair and kissed her on the eyebrows.
Gu Mengmeng asked, “Did you not sleep at all when I went to find the Beast Deity?”
Elvis smiled and answered, “Yes.”
“Why didn’t you?”
“I was scared…” Elvis took a deep breath, there was a little tiredness and many affection in his deep voice. He continued, “I was scared that the Beast Deity might take you away suddenly, just like how he had brought you here without any warning.”
Elvis rubbed his chin against Gu Mengmeng’s head, sniffing the smell of her greedily. He felt her breath spraying against her chest, itchy, but comfortable.
“So, I had to watch over you every second to make myself content.”
Gu Mengmeng looked up at Elvis and asked, “So you did not eat anything nor sleep these few days?”
Elvis nodded and said, “It is normal for males to not sleep or eat for three to four days, it’s alright.”
Gu Mengmeng pretended to be angry and shot a glare at Elvis, who immediately replied cleverly, “Lea guessed that you will wake up today and prepared lots of food. Later I will eat with you, I will eat more, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, smiled and did not say anything. She continued to lay in Elvis’s arms, bury her face into his chest and not let him see her expression.
She did not allow them to have any secrets on her and also lying to her in the name of ‘doing it for her’.
But, she had hidden the fact that when all the white fog had disappeared, the doors of time and space might open any time and she had to face the decision of staying or leaving.
It was not that she did not want to tell them, but they were already so anxious, if she told them about this…
She would not choose to leave them anyway,, so it does not matter whether she says it or not.
In this entire life, she would only hide this truth from them for her entire life.
Lea knew that Gu Mengmeng had woken up hearing the noises in the house. He heaved a sigh of relief unconsciously and adjusted the fire to prepare the food faster.
While eating, Gu Mengmeng told Wabei about the protection mark and how he need not to worry as Snakel was fine at that side. Wabei finally felt relieved after so long. Then, he put two slices of meat into Gu Mengmeng’s bowl as an apology for his poor attitude a while back.
