Gu Mengmeng stared dumbly at Elvis’ hand. She then gazed into his eyes, before looking again at his hand. She kept going back and forth like this a few times…
After hesitating for a moment, she probed. “So, you are throwing a tantrum because I let Natalie touch you just now?”
Elvis was unwilling to admit it. He just gazed into the distance.
Gu Mengmeng burst out laughing. The tears in her eyes evaporated and she hugged Elvis’ waist securely. “Ha, so you are jealous… why are you so silly? Natalie is your mother and her love for you is pure. How could I say that her touch will taint you?”
Elvis frowned. He was clearly not buying into Gu Mengmeng’s explanation.
Now that Gu Mengmeng knew what the crux of the issue was, she was no longer aggrieved. She clambered onto Elvis’ body. He didn’t reach out to hold her, but didn’t shy away. He even instinctively held one hand beneath her, for fear of her falling off.
Gu Mengmeng was like a monkey clinging onto Elvis’ body. She kissed him on the side of his lips. “How can you have the conscience to claim that I don’t care about you? Have you forgotten how mad I was when Ellie hooked your hide dress?
Elvis’s heart thumped. He recalled his first meeting with Ellie, when her flirtatious and ambiguous words caused a misunderstanding between Gu Mengmeng and him. In the end, Gu Mengmeng slapped Ellie right in the face…
His lips curled upwards. Who said his Xiao Meng never got jealous over him before?
She also didn’t like others to touch him.
Gu Mengmeng said in a gentle tone, “My arms are tired, are you really not going to hold me? I am falling off… so high, it will definitely hurt if I fall…”
At that, Gu Mengmeng closed her eyes stoically before loosening her grip, letting herself fall without any warning.
But would Elvis ever let her fall off his body?
You must be kidding!
His body reacted faster than his brain. Before Gu Mengmeng’s little hand had even left his neck for a fraction of a second, Elvis’ large hand was already firmly supporting her butt.
Gu Mengmeng smiled slyly as she kissed Elvis on the cheek. “I knew you can’t bear to let me fall.”
Elvis remained silent, frowning grimly.
He was very happy that she was willing to coax him.
But she could not put herself in harm’s way!
Gu Mengmeng held Elvis’ face in both hands and said, “Hubby, actually I am really very petty. If not for the fact that Natalie really wants to die, and that you are the only trigger that can motivate her will to live, even if she was your own mother, I would never have let her touch you. This time, take it that I was repaying a kindness. Next time, anyone who dares to even reach out one paw towards you, I will immediately chop it off.”
Elvis couldn’t help softening on seeing Gu Mengmeng put on a fierce act. Even his tone subconsciously turned gentler. “Repaying a kindness?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “If Natalie hadn’t given birth to you, how could I get the chance to meet such a wonderful hubby?”
Elvis raised his brows. “Using me to repay a kindness?”
Gu Mengmeng hung onto Elvis’ neck. “I will never return you to her. But since she gave birth to you herself, just one touch should be fine, right? If I can’t even touch Hede and the rest after they get partners in the future, I will definitely be very upset… we are all mothers under the same sky. Why make things difficult for one another? Don’t you agree?”
