Whenever she wakes up, the first thing she saw would always be Elvis’s concerned eyes.
Gu Mengmeng recalled that Elvis told her before that he was always restless when she went to see the Beast Deity.
There was no reason for his restlessness but Gu Mengmeng could not possibly say that he was like the man of qi who was haunted by the fear that the sky might fall
At times, men’s sixth sense can be very accurate.
“What’s the matter?” Elvis asked while supporting Gu Mengmeng up. Before he even finish asking his question, he had sent a cup of water to Gu Mengmeng’s lips.
Gu Mengmeng drank a mouthful of water and sat up straight. Looking at Elvis, she clamped her lips and hesitated for a while but still called Lea over. The three of them sat facing one another before Gu Mengmeng announced, “There’s something I have to tell both of you truthfully.”
“Hmm?” Elvis asked softly.
Gu Mengmeng took in a deep breath and said, “The Beast Deity told me that if I want to get rid of the pain during labor, I just have to get the Love of the Sky.”
Lea’s smile clearly froze, an unbelievable expression written on his face.
To prevent Gu Mengmeng from suffering again, he tried his best to suppress the desire to have children of his and her blood. He suppressed it to the extent that he conceded and felt that he would never have his own children in this lifetime.
But now, he had a chance.
This enormous surprise made him blank and too lost for words.
After a long time, he stretched out both his shaky arms to hold Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders before he asked in utmost cautiousness, “Mengmeng, don’t use this kind of thing to con me……you know I can’t withstand it.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and explained herself, “I won’t lie to you and Elvis. Even if you guys don’t blame me, I will still not lie to you guys.”
Lea tightened his grip on his arm, locking Gu Mengmeng firmly in his embrace. It was a strength almost equaling to wanting to rub her into his chest as it almost made her lose her breath.
Gu Mengmeng could feel Lea shaking, she could clearly feel his excitement.
How did he not care whether he had kids?
How did he not envy other people at all?
His envy made him almost crazy, his desire for children made him almost a demon.
But because he could not bear to see her undergo labor pains, he destroyed all his expectations with his bare hands, not allowing even the slightest smoke to appear.
He treated her too well. To treat her well, he could treat anyone, including himself, cruelly.
“I’ll find the Love of the Sky and after that, we can have our nest of little foxes……..you like little foxes so much, I’ll cooperate with you to have as many little foxes as you want……I won’t defy you again. Finally, I can give you what you want……..Mengmeng, you’ve suffered unfairness this period of time. You were sad because of my attitude, right? Hmm?”
Lea cupped Gu Mengmeng’s little face and kissed it with his heart aching. This period of time, Gu Mengmeng tried her best to shine up to him with both forceful methods and acts of connivance just to give birth to a nest of little foxes. His heart really ached badly when he saw her compromising out of consideration for the general interest. However, he could not bear for her to be in pain so he kept rejecting her, avoiding her and even scolding her.
Whenever he pushed her away, it hurt as though a layer of his skin was peeled off. But how could that level of pain equal to the pain as though he had a fish bone stuck in his throat whenever he saw her frowning in unfairness?
Now everything’s settled, as long as they found the Love of the Sky, he could cherish and baby her however he wanted and he need not push her away again.
“Mengmeng, why are you……..unhappy?” Lea saw how Gu Mengmeng wanted to say something but could not bring herself to. She was clearly expecting a nest of little foxes so much, now that he had finally agreed, why was she unhappy?
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and confessed, “About the seven treasures……..I hid something from you guys.”
