Gu Mengmeng gave a cold laugh and said, “If I were to say that it was a coincidence that the male was arranged to guard this house, would you believe it?”
Lea shook his head and said, “There’s no coincidence in Sauder.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head and said, “So, our every move and action was long monitored. That person was just doing the last confirmation, right?”
Lea said, “Most probably, yes.”
Gu Mengmeng jumped off the bed and walked to Lea. She leaned against the table and wrapped her arms in front of her chest, asking, “What do you plan to do next? You can’t possibly wait to get killed, right?”
Lea gave a light smile and said, “I don’t think they have the time to care about me now.”
Gu Mengmeng raised her brow and said in a slightly haughty tone, “That’s right too. The messenger of the Beast Deity whom they had been waiting for a thousand years has finally arrived. They naturally will not have the time to care about this banished Ninth Highness. How about this? Should I lend you my identity as the messenger of the Beast Deity to let you vent your anger?”
Lea supported his chin with one hand and side-gazed Gu Mengmeng. After a long time, he then slowly opened his mouth to speak, “You’re worried for me, right?”
Gu Mengmeng gave an awkward smile. After finally escaping from the strange atmosphere of cooping up in a space with her ex-boyfriend all alone, she was pulled back into it by Lea’s one sentence.
Shrugging her shoulders, Gu Mengmeng stepped back to her bed and sat properly, smiling. “Forget it if you don’t need it, just treat it as me being a busybody. You’re so clever, you must have thought of a perfect plan and don’t need me to worry for nothing, right…ha…ha ha…I really love to worry for nothing…”
Lea turned around but his gaze was still fixated on Gu Mengmeng. He sighed helplessly and said, “What can I do? I couldn’t set my mind at ease for you back then so I followed you here after a rash decision. Countermeasure or what…I totally did not think about it. After all, according to my plan, Nina was supposed to attend this beauty pageant originally…”
“Ah?” Gu Mengmeng was rather alarmed. She started to regret letting Lea handle Nina upon impulse.
Back then, she assumed that she had made a perfect whole plan but at the last moment, she still did not have any certainty. After all, everything was only possible theoretically, Gu Mengmeng did not put any of this kind of damn things into practice before.
However, Lea did not give her any chance to think it through as he stepped closer and closer to the bed. Seeing how Lea was approaching her slowly, Gu Mengmeng huddled closer to the other side of the bed. However, Lea beat her to it by pressing both his hands on the side of the bed before inching his body forward. Gu Mengmeng leaned backwards, followed by Lea pushing himself towards her. This action was continued until Gu Mengmeng was trapped at the corner of the wall and had no space to backtrack. Just then, Lea used both his hands to hold the sides of Gu Mengmeng’s face and said with an innocent expression, “I’m the witch doctor of Saint Nazaire and also your beast pet so…you’ll protect me, right? Hmm?”
F***? Thudding her up against the wall? Where did he learn that from?!
Gu Mengmeng pushed Lea’s shoulder away and laughed awkwardly, “That, I’ll definitely protect you but can you stop mentioning the beast pet matter…”
Lea lowered his head, staring at the hand Gu Mengmeng used to push his chest. He deliberately used an extremely ambiguous tone and smile together with a bashful expression while saying, “You had touched me and also slept with me…everyone in the tribe witnessed how you pounced on me. Now, it’s fine if you don’t want to give me a status, but you aren’t even willing to let me become your beast pet? Mengmeng…are you discarding me after making use of me?”
Gu Mengmeng retracted her hand out of instincts. Heaven, please pity and protect her, all she did was to push him away, it’s push! Not touch!”
On the other hand, Lea seemed like he foresaw how Gu Mengmeng would retract her hand so he laid himself down on her legs, looking up at the ceiling. Slowly closing his eyes, he said, “I’ve been on guard against Ellie this entire journey and had not slept well. My brain can’t even work well now. Let me sleep for a while. After I’ve done resting, I may be able to come up with a countermeasure.”
