Snakel was completely unperturbed as he gazed calmly at Gu Mengmeng.
“That’s impossible. MonSir company was set up over five years ago and you only met me this school term. How is it possible…” Gu Mengmeng was really befuddled.
Snakel reached out one open hand toward Gu Mengmeng. “Twomeng.”
“What?” Gu Mengmeng instinctively responded as she placed her own hand into Snakel’s.
Since he had snatched her love letter, he would call her by that name now and then, until she was already used to it.
Snakel gave Gu Mengmeng’s little hand a gentle squeeze and smiled. He brought her hand up to his lips. “Do you believe in past lives and destiny?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head with an awkward smile.
Snakel chuckled. “I used to not believe in it either. But now I do. Perhaps our lives are just one continuous cycle. Living this lifetime before dying and crossing the Naihe Bridge to drink Grandma Meng’s Soup of Forget, and then reentering the human world to experience your past life all over again. Over and over in one never-ending cycle. For me, I loved you so much in my past life that after crossing the Naihe Bridge, I didn’t drink Grandma Meng’s Soup of Forget… or perhaps I did drink it but that soup couldn’t withstand my love for you. As a result, I still remember how much I love you.”
“Eee…” Gu Mengmeng looked dismissive. She lifted her arm for Snakel to see. “My hairs are all standing up. My great CEO, please stop reading so many romance novels. Such words sound very touching in fiction but very disgusting when spoken out in real life.”
Snakel chuckled. Her ridicule did not anger him at all, instead, he loved her increasingly audacious behavior.
She always behaved so timidly in front of him in the Beast World.
Thinking back, she was probably just really scared of snakes.
“Since you love me so much… don’t make things difficult for me. Hurry up and take back MonSir company.” Gu Mengmeng pleaded.
Snakel shook his head. “You can’t take back a gift. However, if you are willing to pinch your nose and snort like a little pig, I will very reluctantly help you handle the media press conference this afternoon, and not allow your identity to be exposed.”
Gu Mengmeng was frazzled. “What?! There’s a media press conference?!”
Snakel nodded before taking out his mobile phone and referring to a news website. The top news was the change in CEO of MonSir company, as well as all sorts of conjectures on tonight’s media announcement.
Without another second’s hesitation, Gu Mengmeng pinched her own nose and snorted like a pig twice.
Snakel caressed her face with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
Perhaps Snakel himself never imagined that his malevolent eyes, so feared in the entire Beast World, could be filled with such warmth.
“You are utterly adorable.” With that, he pulled Gu Mengmeng into his arms again and snuggled with her for a bit. “Alright, let’s go back to class now. Leave everything else to me.”
Gu Mengmeng felt like she had too many things to worry about, and had no choice but to let Snakel half-drag her back into the classroom.
The lesson was already well underway and Gu Mengmeng wanted to sneak in via the back door. But would Snakel do something like that? He just pushed open the main door and walked into the classroom with one arm around Gu Mengmeng. The seat with Gu Mengmeng’s bag on it was still empty. No dare dared to touch her belongings.
The teacher was also very calm. He continued teaching as if he didn’t notice the two of them. Their classmates shot them envious glances, but the looks of envy were targeted at Snakel rather than Gu Mengmeng.
