Ian clenched his fists and took eight deep breaths to force himself to calm down. Then, he said, “Did you forget that I was the one who set the blood alliance with Lea? Once I mate, the blood alliance will become useless.”
Gu Mengmeng knew about this long ago.
Hugging her chest with both hands, Gu Mengmeng squinted her eyes at Ian and said, “You started flirting with Mandy since last year but you’re only mating with her this year…….because of this?”
Ian did not admit nor did he deny. He just lowered his head and shifted his gaze to a side.
Although the Birds tribe is always arrogant, Ian was after all, a male that was in his best and fittest age so he did not have high resistance level against females. Moreover, Mandy was beautiful and outgoing, it was reasonable for him to not withstand the seduction.
It’s just that Gu Mengmeng was too busy this entire year so she did not have time to observe the love life of her every friend, thus resulting in them wasting so much time.
Gu Mengmeng patted Ian’s shoulder and said, “Didn’t I tell you previously? I judge someone I want to keep in Saint Nazaire based on their heart and not the blood alliance. If your heart is leaning towards me, I won’t need to do anything extra to keep you behind. If your heart isn’t here, even with the blood alliance, you’ll seek all ways to get out of it so what’s the use?”
Ian looked at Gu Mengmeng and did not say anything.
Gu Mengmeng indeed told him those words before but Ian did not meet Mandy then so he did not treat it too seriously.
After that, Ian fell for Mandy but he could not predict how true Gu Mengmeng words back then were.
Furthermore, even though the Eagle-owl tribe had been acquired by Saint Nazaire and many males from the Eagle-owl tribe mated with females from Saint Nazaire, he had the blood alliance on his shoulders so he was worried that once he mated, their blood alliance would be broken and Gu Mengmeng would suspect the Eagle-owl tribe from having a change of heart.
But it seemed like he thought too much.
Gu Mengmeng…….was more benevolent than him.
Gu Mengmeng sat back at the table to eat the meat from her bowl. She gasped in satisfaction and then said, “You’re the tribe leader of the Eagle-owl tribe so you’ve to hold your marriage as flamboyant as possible. Just nice, Saint Nazaire hasn’t experience much noise and excitement in a long time so we’ll use your name and have a good celebration so that everyone can party and be in a delightful mood.”
Ian walked to Gu Mengmeng awkwardly and looked at her while standing beside the table. After quite some time, he said, “There’s no such tribe called the Eagle-owl tribe since two years ago and I’m not a tribe leader.”
“Fake.” Gu Mengmeng sneered and did not reply him.
It was rare that he did not feel the urge to retort back at her diss as he lowered his head and said, “Gu Mengmeng, thank you.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed and said, “Yeah, please mate before winter comes. Don’t delay it too much or else I don’t know how much more your position in your family is going to drop.”
Ian clenched his teeth and said, “Manman is only taking in one partner this year. My position in the family isn’t going to drop.”
“Manman…….” Gu Mengmeng looked at Ian, hinting about something.
Ian’s ears turned even redder as he flapped his wings and said, “If you don’t have any objection, I’ll inform Manman about it and not disturb you from eating.”
Gu Mengmeng waved her hands and said, “Goodbye~”
After Ian flew away, there were only Gu Mengmeng and her two partners, Wabei, Auretin and Barete left.
Gu Mengmeng supported her face with her hands and seemed to be in deep thoughts as she muttered, “The people around me is getting fewer and fewer…..”
Elvis grabbed onto Gu Mengmeng’s waist lightly and comforted her, “Don’t be disappointed over other people, Lea and I will always be by your side.”
