“Die by my hand?” Gu Mengmeng was stunned. “He wanted me to believe that you hurt Hede and his brothers, and then kill you in rage?”
Lea shook his head with a chuckle. “That would be too good a death for me. After all, dying at the hands of his own female is a kind of blessing for a male. It is still better than being killed by Cole.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned. “Then…?”
Lea said, “Cole’s bug poison will trigger my jealousy, and when one’s jealousy reaches its peak, he will want to possess you all for himself. He correctly predicted that I will s.n.a.t.c.h you away and hide. However, he never expected that after seeing me hurt those four little ones and Elvis, you didn’t just kill me and return to their side.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned, she simply couldn’t wrap her head around the matter. She couldn’t understand Lea’s meaning.
Lea chuckled and rubbed Gu Mengmeng’s head. “If you saw your son and Elvis being hurt and killed me in rage, it would just be me paying the price for doing something wrong. However, what Cole wanted was for you to choose to abandon me. On one end of the scales, he had Elvis, the four little ones and several other inadequate reasons, while on the other end he had me, who was out-of-control and wished to possess you all for myself. Cole wanted to see you abandon me in favor of Elvis and the children… you know that being abandoned is the true torment for a male.”
“Of course, being controlled by the bug poison, I would never have let you go and I would do anything to keep you by my side. I might threaten you, harm you… in the end, it would be so unbearable for you that… you would kill me and then return to Elvis.” Lea stroked Gu Mengmeng’s hair as he spoke. “Now that I think of it, it is truly terrifying. What if you were really enraged by me? Just one look from you is enough to kill me.”
Gu Mengmeng pinched Lea’s waist gently. “Scared now, aren’t you? Why didn’t you tell me right from the start? I could have accommodated your act.”
“Aiyo aiyo, so painful…” Lea exaggerated his frailty and looked pitifully at Gu Mengmeng. He bit his lips in a show of being miserable. “Are you trying to murder your lover?”
Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes. “Yes, I should pinch you to death now!”
Lea pulled Gu Mengmeng back into his arms and whispered in her ear. “If you really wish to pinch me to death, go ahead. I will let you do anything you want, as long as you like it.”
Gu Mengmeng harrumphed without answering.
Lea said, “I am being serious. If you want me to die, I will comply. If you want me to live, I will watch over you. My life, death and fortunes are all decided by your word.”
Lea’s voice was light, like a feather brus.h.i.+ng against Gu Mengmeng’s heart. Her temper had been dissolved by his coaxing and she just cleared her throat. “Don’t try to bluff your way out of this. I am asking why didn’t you forewarn me?”
Gu Mengmeng kissed Gu Mengmeng’s temple. “Because… I also wanted to know if you would have chosen me? Or… would you have abandoned me?”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. She looked at up Lea. “Were you not worried that I would lose control and kill you by mistake?”
Lea chuckled. “That would not happen if you trusted me. You would know that even if I turned mad, I would never do anything to hurt you. If I didn’t even possess that level of trust in your heart… then I would rather be dead.”
