Chapter 1364: Join Me In My Tyranny
Lea knew Gu Mengmeng was just comforting herself. He loved her so much and spent so much time thinking about her—how could he not notice the pain in her eyes?
With her heart aching for him, Lea felt that if he would be struck by lightning if he still didn’t pull himself together.
Probing carefully, Lea confirmed once more. “Do you really not disdain the filth of my race and my father’s unscrupulous ways?”
Gu Mengmeng poked Lea’s chest with a smile. “The unscrupulous one is your father and not you. Why will I scorn you for that? Moreover… who said the snow fox race is filthy? In my eyes, you are the purest and most beautiful fox.”
Lea finally relaxed and looped his arms around Gu Mengmeng’s waist. “How beautiful?”
Gu Mengmeng’s mood lifted on seeing Lea smile. She tapped one finger against her own chin and pondered for a moment. “Mmm… you have a face that can launch a thousand s.h.i.+ps. No one in this world is more beautiful than you. Just one glance at you makes me swoon. A completely unforgettable face that drives me crazy…”
Lea kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little face. “A completely unforgettable face that drives you crazy. Seem like I am really very beautiful.”
“Of course. You are my husband after all.” Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s face and gave him a kiss. “My Lea still looks the best when he is smiling. That gloomy countenance doesn’t suit you at all and makes me sad to look at.”
“If you like it, I will smile everyday for you to see,” Lea answered.
Gu Mengmeng nodded before standing up. “Alright, since the things on the inside have settled down, should we go check the outside?”
Lea also rose and grasped Gu Mengmeng’s hand. “As long as you don’t disdain me, then everything that Cole had so painstakingly arranged would be useless against me.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and reached out her other hand toward Elvis. “Cinnabar of my heart, join me in my tyranny.”
Cinnabar of her heart…
Elvis chuckled. Just like that, Gu Mengmeng managed to instantly purify the words “first love”, which had been tainted by all that pent-up conflict.
Holding her little hand, Elvis said, “Leave the fighting to me, don’t charge straight in. Understand?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded with a smile. “I know. Lea is the brains while you are the brawn. I will just sit by the side, snacking on melon seeds and enjoying the show.”
“Good girl.” Elvis and Lea exchanged looks. They already had a tacit agreement on how things were going to start once they went down.
They didn’t believe that Gu Mengmeng would obediently sit by the side, eating melon seeds while watching the show, but…
With the two of them around, she would never come to harm, anyway.
When they went downstairs, Miranda was just cowering in a corner hugging her knees. She stared grievously at Lea.
Lea ignored Miranda and continued to carefully escort Gu Mengmeng. He spread out an animal skin across a stone stool for her to sit down, before going down on one knee beside her. “I don’t have any melon seeds now, but I remember you like to eat Xue Ling fruits. After we get rid of those annoying pests, I will go help you find some, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng used to eat Xue Ling fruits while she was pregnant.
At that time, Lea was emotionally aggrieved and went seeking for those fruits in a crazed manner. Recalling how he came back then nearly half-dead, how could Gu Mengmeng bear to let him risk his life once again just for those fruits?
