“Yes,” Gu Mengmeng replied without any hesitation.
Cole did not appear surprised at Gu Mengmeng’s answer. He just narrowed his eyes and asked teasingly, “Swallow your resentment and accept me, is that okay?”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists as she trembled all over. But she still nodded. “Yes.”
Cole suddenly laughed and waved. “No need to get so angry. I will not request that. After all… I want to be the most special presence in your life. A totally unique existence. Partner, you already have two. I don’t value that.”
He didn’t value that…
Gu Mengmeng didn’t feel any anger at not being valued. Instead, she felt relieved.
Because in her eyes, that was the most disgusting and worst outcome.
As long as it didn’t come to that. Otherwise, she was willing to give an arm and a leg, or even her life, if she could exchange for Chixuan’s well-being. She didn’t mind.
Cole pointed at Gu Mengmeng’s neck. “I want you to scrape off that protection mark behind your neck. To completely break off all links with Snake. How about that?”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists again.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t bear to lose Snake’s power or was afraid that she would be hurt. But that mark was the only thing Snake had left for her. He had sacrificed everything to ensure her protection in both worlds.
And now she had to scrape off evidence of his existence and and destroy all traces of him.
“Can’t bear to?” Cole looked displeased. His gaze drifted over to Chixuan. “You don’t seem to love this son of yours that much. In that case… why don’t you let me bring Chixuan away? If I can wake him up once, I can wake him again… or, do you like this obedient version of your son so much, and wish to have him live by your side in this docile manner his entire life?”
Gu Mengmeng lifted her head and stepped closer. Without any warning, she stuck one hand through Cole’s chest and dug a bloody hole in his right chest.
Cole groaned and knitted his brows, but didn’t try to duck or struggle. Instead, he smiled and looked down at Gu Mengmeng’s wrist penetrating his own body. His smile turned even more maniacal.
“Ha… haha… my Ah Gu has grown up. You finally grew sharp claws… mmm, really good. I am now the first person to be harmed by you.”
Gu Mengmeng retrieved her hand expressionlessly. Elvis and Lea were already by her side the moment they smelled blood.
Gu Mengmeng’s hand was drenched in blood from her fingertips to her wrists, and thick with the scent of blood.
Gu Mengmeng kept her hand raised. “Dirty. I want to wash my hands.”
Lea frowned. He remained silent and just went to bring some water over to carefully wash Gu Mengmeng’s hand.
Gu Mengmeng kept staring at Cole the entire time. “If you try anything on my son again, the next time… I will dig a matching hole on your left side.”
“That won’t do, Ah Gu.” Cole completely disregarded his bleeding wound. He just continued smiling perversely. “If you want to torture me, you cannot dig a hole in my left chest. Because the moment my heart is dug out, I will die. By then, you can no longer torture me… can you bear to let me die such a quick and comfortable death? Don’t you feel that I should endure more torture and pain, before the anger in your heart is vented? So if there is a next time… you should still dig a hole on the right side. Right at this same spot. New flesh will grow over and you can dig again. That will be the most painful, do you know that now? Mmm?”
