Chapter 85 - Believe Me, I’m Serious
“From today onwards, you’re not allowed to say that I’m not yours. Do you get it? Hmm?” Lea used one hand to gently grab onto Gu Mengmeng’s hand that was moving like a car window wiper and pulled her into his embrace. Gu Mengmeng was then drowned in Lea’s fluffy large tail as he patted her little head at times, saying in a slightly sulky tone, “I don’t want to be abandoned.”
Gu Mengmeng hugged onto Lea’s tail tightly while grieving tearlessly, “Daddy Lea, I’m not abandoning you… but I really can’t mate with you.”
“You’re not abandoning me but you can’t mate with me… are you still planning on matchmaking Elvis and I together?” Lea laughed evilly, his hand on the floor to support his jaw. He looked at Gu Mengmeng in a flirtatious way, “If Mengmeng likes it, I can cooperate occasionally but if you intend on making it true in the long run, even if I agree, Elvis would not agree to it.”
Pfft—!
Gu Mengmeng felt that the blood from her nose was boiling! The emptied blood tank was in a deficit!
Lea, does your Mother know how dirty-minded you are?! To think that Gu Mengmeng even felt that Lea was as holy as a cold, unreachable flower when she first saw him. Lea really could not be touched, his image had collapsed so fast that within one night, he had walked further and further down the road of rotten dirty-mindedness and based on the trend, he was most likely not turning back.
Lea held Gu Mengmeng’s hand gently, his gaze was so gentle until water could be wring out from his eyes. Looking at Gu Mengmeng with tender and loving eyes, he said, “Gu Mengmeng, promise me… no matter what happens, you can’t abandon me, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng did not know why but she felt her heart being tugged on mercilessly. Lea’s gaze was clearly smiling tenderly but Gu Mengmeng seemed to see a wound that nobody knew about in those pair of eyes.
Lea… what did he go through before?
Gu Mengmeng stopped joking around and frowned slightly. Staring back at Lea, she deliberated over it for a long time but still shook her head, “I can’t promise you something that I’m can’t accomplish. You’re very good but I can’t mate with you.”
“Why?” Upon hearing Gu Mengmeng’s rejection, Lea’s chest tightened as he continued pressing on without much thought that it took him by surprise too.
Why… was he so concerned with the reason? Based on his original character, no matter what her reason was, he always had ways to force her to abide by him.
But why was he so concerned with ‘why’ now?
Gu Mengmeng looked down, not having the courage to look into Lea’s eyes.
Rejecting someone was something that would pressurize one internally, especially when it was rejecting Lea whom Gu Mengmeng saw as a Prince Charming of a higher social position than her, the pressure was even higher. And when the Prince Charming was staring at her, clearly looking so lovesick, the pressure was so much higher than the atmospheric layer.
“Marriage… oh no, mating is a big event that regards an entire lifetime and can’t be decided casually nor sloppily.”
Lea hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin gently. He liked the way she stared at him. When he saw his own reflection from her clear eyes, he felt a sense of satisfaction that no words could describe and the way she was avoiding him made him feel restless.
But this time, Lea felt that he had thought it the wrong way.
Why would his heart feel like it was pierced through by sharp claws and that the pain was lasting for such a long period of time that he could clearly feel the depth of every inch of it when he saw her eyes being filled with guilt and apology.
“I’m willing to pledge my lifelong loyalty to you, not sloppily nor casually.” Lea tugged on his arm and pulled Gu Mengmeng in his embrace. Avoiding her serious gaze, he leaned his face on hers closely and whispered to her ear, “Gu Mengmeng, believe me, I’m serious.”
