Gu Mengmeng felt very maligned. The thought of seeking new partners had never crossed her mind.
Lea held her hand, his fingers trembling. He pleaded timidly. âNot only that, I can change whatever you donât like about me. I will never threaten you. I will support you in whatever you want to do. Next time if any male tries to woo you, I will not present myself as an obstacle... donât abandon me, alright? It doesnât matter even if you donât dote on me anymore... it doesnât matter even if I no longer hold the same status as I do now. I will be satisfied as long as I can see you. Nothing else matters to me. Alright?â
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her own head as she stared at Lea in a daze. âDid you forget to take your medicine? What the hell are you talking about? When did I say I wanted to get new partners? When did I say I was going to abandon you... where did you get all these ideas from?â
Lea lowered his head. âYou already feel Elvis and I are very troublesome, donât you?â
Lea gave a self-mocking smile. He dared not look Gu Mengmeng in the eyes but gazed to the side and murmured in a low voice. âYes, which male would dare to behave so impudently in front of his female? You have been too good to us, and I forgot my place... it is normal of you to be tired of me.â
âI am not tired of you! â Gu Mengmeng held Leaâs shoulders as she hollered at him. âCan you be more normal? What the hell is the matter? Your sudden change in behavior is really distressing me!â
âYou mentioned earlier about why would you want to âinvite more troubleâ...doesnât that mean that Elvis and I are already troublesome in your eyes?â Leaâs gaze dimmed, his feelings obviously hurt.
Gu Mengmeng smacked her head, completely speechless.
She sighed and looked at Elvis. âYou two kept exchanging glances just now and came up with this conclusion?â
Elvis hesitated, but eventually nodded in all honesty.
Gu Mengmeng was totally exasperated by those two. She thought only females would be so sensitive, being hurt by a careless comment. So males could also be like that.
Gu Mengmeng sat cross-legged by the bed and looked at Elvis and Lea. âTell me, were the two of you recently provoked by anything in particular? We have got along so well these past four years. I donât believe nothing happened and that you two just suddenly decided to behave in this peculiar manner. Did you hear some rumors or saw anything? Did Cole incite you?â
Gu Mengmeng pondered all possibilities as she probed them.
Elvis remained silent while Lea also pursed his lips and kept quiet. However, his gaze drifted toward Sandy, who was sitting by the entrance.
Gu Mengmeng inquired. âWhat? Did Sandy lecture you two?â
Lea shook his head. He gave a tentative tug at Gu Mengmengâs hand. Only when she didnât resist did he dare to pull her into a light embrace. He rested his chin on the top of her head. âSince Sandy took in those seven wolves, Elvis and I just feel very ill-at-ease.â
Gu Mengmeng considered this for a moment, but still failed to understand.
She had no choice but to continue asking, âWhatâs it got to do with you that Sandy took in new partners? Damn, unless you two want to have an affair and hook up with my bosom friend?â
Lea gritted his teeth. He really felt like poking her head and scolding her heartless. But he swallowed his words while his finger also paused right before making contact with her head. He sighed and drew back his hand.
He just lowered his eyes and said, âDo you still remember what were Bodeâs and Collinâs reactions on the day that Sandy took in her new partners?â
Gu Mengmeng tried to recall but shook her head. âWhat were their reactions? Too many things happened that day and I didnât notice. I donât think they had much reaction.â
