Elvis and Lea pushed open the big doors of the stone castle and the so-called surprise was just Cole standing at the entrance, welcoming them with a tilted head and a smile.
Gu Mengmeng frowned, looking around her surroundings but she could not spot Chixuan anywhere.
Cole waited for a while before bursting out in laughter and said, “I thought that you’ll throw your temper at me when you see me….it seems like, my beloved owner is not angry at me, right?”
Gu Mengmeng originally wanted to ignore Cole but now he was the only one who knew where Chixuan was so she did not fight with him any further as she directly asked him, “Where’s Chixuan?”
Cole lowered his head and chuckled, giving off a heartened look. “Xuan is a sensible child, he knows that we’re having a reunion after a long time….so he deliberately hid somewhere to leave some intimate space for us.”
Gu Mengmeng walked past Cole to sit on a stone chair in the main hall, directly facing the entrance. There was a perfect piece of white tiger skin laid on it, giving off the taste of the Ju Yi Tang (a place in Water Margin).
Gu Mengmeng stepped on the sides of the chair with one leg while placing her hand casually on that knee. Her another leg was stepping on the ground with her elbow supporting itself on the armrest of the stone chair. She held her temples with the back of her hand, resembling a powerful female bandit.
Elvis and Lea stood behind her, not saying a word and were just protecting her.
Gu Mengmeng said, “There’s no need for any small talk since we’re not that close in the first place. Just spill it, what is your ulterior motive for luring me here?”
Cole gave a bitter smile, his expression becoming a maligned one as it encompassed a tint of helplessness. He said, “I saw how well you interacted with Sandy earlier, I thought that you had tidied up your emotions on the way here and had subsided your anger.”
Gu Mengmeng sniggered and replied, “I know how to tidy up my own emotions and accommodate myself to circumstances but this does not obstruct me from bearing grudges.”
Cole spread out his hands, looking as if he could not do anything to Gu Mengmeng. He said in a pacifying tone, “Can you think of me in a positive light? Or maybe, I just want to let you live more comfortably this winter.”
Gu Mengmeng snorted in annoyance and then kept the gaze she landed on Cole’s face, saying, “The most uncomfortable part of this place is you so please keep that disgusting face of yours. I’m scared I’ll lose control and slap you to death.”
Cole was not angry as he just maintained his usual refined smile.
Back then, Gu Mengmeng though that he was courteous and gentlemanly but now, all she could feel was grossed out at his fake character…..
Cole did not avoid Gu Mengmeng’s disgusted gaze as he smiled even more ambiguously and said, “You said you hate me but you still followed me here, right?”
Gu Mengmeng did not answer Cole as she just demanded, “Where’s Chixuan? I want to see Chixuan.”
Cole took a step forward and said, “I said before, Xuan deliberately hid himself to leave some intimate space for us. So…as long as you don’t disappoint Xuan’s heartfelt intentions, Xuan will naturally appear after we spend a warm and sweet day together. After all, he misses you a lot too.”
Gu Mengmeng pinched her fingers and asked, “So, you’re threatening me now? You want me to commit myself to you for my son’s sake?”
Cole shook his head and explained, “My beloved owner, I’m your most loyal footman, how can I force you to do something you don’t like? Of course, if you need it….Cole is very willing to devote my loyalty to you, you can…..play with this body of mine as you wish.”
Gu Mengmeng’s temples twitched hard and she clenched her teeth, looking up to command, “Hubby, punch him!”
