“If we had a motive for getting closer to you at the start, are all our real intentions after that going to be denied?” Lea did not answer Gu Mengmeng’s words and asked her instead, “The reason why the snow fox tribe has the favor of the last messenger was because of our secret Fox Seductive Fragrance but once it’s used, the person smelling the fragrance will sink into a gorgeous fantasy and this adds a lot of marvelous delight to the joyous event. Nobody in this world has ever resisted the smell of the Fox Seductive Fragrance, even the messenger of the Beast Deity herself was deluded by it. Originally, I could have used The Fox Seductive Fragrance before you mature into adulthood to mate with you when you aren’t in your right mind. When you wake up, you’ll only remember a joyous scene and not any other abnormality.”
Gu Mengmeng’s eyes widened and she leaned backwards in defense. This lean made her return back into Elvis’s embrace.
Lea maintained that light smile all along and did not seem to notice Gu Mengmeng’s defensive look as he continued, “This should have been the most simple and efficient method but… Elvis did not agree. He said that he didn’t want to force you when you weren’t willing to, he wanted to wait for you to say ‘I do’.”
Gu Mengmeng turned back and saw Elvis furrowing his brows. She felt an indescribable complicated emotion in her heart.
She knew that Elvis got together with her because she’s the messenger of the Beast Deity and this kind of love blemish made her struggle miserably.
But Lea was not wrong either. Standing in Elvis’s shoes, not stopping Lea from using the Fox Seductive Fragrance was the correct choice but for her ‘I do’, he actually rejected something that he could easily achieve.
Could she say that Elvis doesn’t love her? If Elvis just wanted to get the messenger of the Beast Deity, why did he reject Lea’s suggestion? Why did he want to wait for her ‘I do’?
Lea gave Gu Mengmeng enough time to think over things before he opened his mouth slowly to continue talking, “If he just wanted you to stay in Saint Nazaire, back then… with our development, we would have mated sooner or later. If he doesn’t love you, why would he…”
“That’s enough,” Elvis prevented Lea from continuing and just hugged Gu Mengmeng into his arms. He sighed and said, “Xiao Meng, it’s true that I went to the lake and met you to welcome the messenger of the Beast Deity; but, my regards and feelings towards you are true too. Believe me, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng looked up and saw that in Elvis’s blue eyes, the deep affection had never changed but Gu Mengmeng did not dare to believe what she was seeing.
She asked in a neutral tone, “Other than the things both of you said to me just now, are there any other things that… you two are hiding from me?”
Elvis pressed his thin lips into a straight line and met eyes with Gu Mengmeng. Looking into her doubtful and suspecting eyes, he did not want to explain even a word.
Gu Mengmeng twisted her body in an attempt to escape from Elvis’s embrace. She spoke softly, “That’s enough. If you don’t wish to tell me everything, what position are you in to expect me to believe you?”
“Tell her,” Lea’s voice rang from behind Gu Mengmeng, his tone filled with helplessness and despair. Although it was just his voice, Gu Mengmeng could hear a sense of misery, “Anyway, she already hates me enough. There’s no difference from knowing anything more or anything less. It’s not worth to create any further misunderstandings because of me.”
