Gu Mengmeng knew she had thrown a hissy fit today.
Actually, she could have used a gentler method to tell them her way of thinking. But she just couldn’t control her temper in the heat of the moment.
Perhaps it was because the tragic tale of Natalie and Peter resulted from the many secrets between the two. It made her ill-at-ease and fearful.
If Elvis and Lea made it a habit to conceal things from her, all those little things would one day accumulate into one major issue—which could completely crush the trust between them?
I won’t know it if you don’t tell me. This was the first stage of a relationship becoming distant.
But now that Elvis and Lea had promised never to hide anything from her, she naturally would not continue behaving unreasonably.
After all, she was already a thousand years of age mentally. There was a limit to stubbornness.
Lowering her head, Gu Mengmeng played with her fingers. “My tone today was also unkind. I said many nasty things… I am sorry.”
Elvis and Lea simultaneously kissed Gu Mengmeng on the face, one on each side. The two flawlessly handsome faces held the same doting expressions. Elvis didn’t say a word while Lea took up Gu Mengmeng’s little hand and kissed it. “You know that I rather hear you confess your love than apologize.”
Gu Mengmeng’s blushing face looked especially sweet under the moonlight. She said in a soft voice, “I will never mention breaking up again. You are both the most important people to me. I just spent an afternoon napping alone, and already felt tremendously lonely… if you two really left, I will cry my eyes out.”
“Silly girl.” Elvis tightened his arms around her waist as he gazed into her eyes sincerely. “Unless I die, I will never leave you.”
Gu Mengmeng rested her forehead against Elvis’ and asked, “You won’t leave even if I chase you out of the house?”
Elvis kissed her and replied in a low voice, “You are my entire world, where else can I go?”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t say another word, but just smiled sweetly.
Lea brought over a large bowl of meat and potato stew. “So can we eat now? Should we eat here or bring it over to Natalie’s and eat with her?”
Gu Mengmeng thought about it. “Let’s go to Natalie’s together. I want to bid her farewell.”
“You wish to go to Sauder?” Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng towards Natalie’s cave.
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “I am worried for Barete and Oakley. Moreover, Chixuan will also be there…”
Elvis halted and looked at Gu Mengmeng quietly.
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head in question. “What’s the matter?”
Elvis inhaled as he tried to suppress the unease in his heart. But he remembered his promise not to conceal anything from Gu Mengmeng. In the end, he swallowed his “nothing” and said, “Barete is one of your pursuers. He confessed his feelings for you even before Lea. You are worrying over him… are you thinking of making him your third partner?”
Gu Mengmeng was taken aback. She then laughed out and replied with a question of her own, “I also mentioned Oakley. Do you mean I also want to make him my fourth partner then?”
Elvis remained unsmiling. “Oakley still doesn’t have the right to challenge me and Lea.”
