Returning to their tree hole, Lea didn’t start making dinner but just laid across Gu Mengmeng’s knee. He gazed up at her. “I don’t like Burke. I hate his Yoo Sijin-like face and that he is using Kanwu to get close to you.”
Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s face and kissed the tip of his nose. She said with a smile, “It’s not possible between Burke and I. You understand that I am just acting according to Cole’s script, to lure him out and finish him once and for all.”
Lea grasped the back of Gu Mengmeng’s head with one hand to stop her from moving away and kissed her fiercely. His eyes were filled with a clingy obsession as he licked his lips, tasting her sweetness with a sense of satisfaction. This improved his mood by quite a bit, but he was still unable to understand the situation with Burke.
“Cole will still appear even if we don’t follow his directions.” Lea became much gentler after that kiss, but his tone remained stubborn. “I cannot stand the sight of you and Burke standing together. It hurts my eyes. I will lose control and tear him to pieces.”
Gu Mengmeng gazed at Lea with an unexplainable feeling.
Lea had been acting rather strange these past few days. He was being very paranoid and his jealousy had risen to new heights.
He bared his fangs at Elvis to fight for the chance to hold her. This was an inexplicable situation. After all, he had initially took the risk of losing her by pushing her into Elvis’ arms.
Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s face and asked, “Is there something on your mind? I feel that you have been acting strangely.”
Lea placed his hand lightly over Gu Mengmeng’s little hand and gazed at her with eyes filled with emotion. “It is my goal to have you. Will you let me?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed lightly and circled Lea’s neck. “There’s no need to have me. I am already yours.”
Lea chuckled, before seductively whispering in Gu Mengmeng’s left ear. “I mean… have you all to myself.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. She instinctively looked towards Elvis, before rebuking him with a frown. “Lea.”
Lea gave an embarrassed laugh and leaned back from her. He sighed softly. “So you can’t even tell me a white lie now?”
Gu Mengmeng felt hapless. She didn’t know what had gotten into Lea. Why was he so incensed by that Burke? He had been getting along very well with Elvis and was also at ease with Snake. He also didn’t seem to mind having Auretin and Ian around her. What was so special about Burke that had him so jealous?
Lea waved his hand. “Elvis is fine, but I cannot accept the others. If you still hang out with Burke alone, I will treat him as my love rival and get rid of him.”
Gu Mengmeng felt as if she had no choice. She believed that they would definitely catch Cole if they continued using Burke, but if the males in her family were so distressed by her plan, she could only give in to their wishes.
Shrugging her shoulders, she said, “Alright, don’t become so anxious over someone so insignificant. If you don’t like it, I won’t interact with Burke anymore. We will think of another way to resolve the situation with Cole. Anyway, even if we wish to let him go, Cole will still pursue us to the end. So… there will always be another way.”
Lea hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin with one finger and kissed her as a reward. He said in a gentle voice, “Good girl.”
Gu Mengmeng’s head spun at being coaxed like a little kid by Lea. She laughed without a word.
