Gu Mengmeng sighed and retorted, “But your injury….”
Cole took two steps forward in agitation and said, “I’m alright… ouch…..”
Cole’s wound had ripped open and he was in quite a lot of agony. Gu Mengmeng stepped forward to hold onto him and said while frowning, “Look at yourself, are you still trying to put on a strong front?”
Cole pulled Gu Mengmeng into an embrace, wrapping one hand around her waist and hooking her chin with his other hand. Gazing at Gu Mengmeng with a deeply affectionate and meaningful look, he said, “Ah Gu, why are you so concerned for me? Actually, I’m in your heart too, right? Although I can’t leave my mark on your body, I can pledge all of my loyalty to you…..you’ll accept me, right?”
Gu Mengmeng’s chin was held by Cole and she stared at him quietly, her gaze becoming blurry. She opened her thin lips to force a word out, “Co….le.”
Cole’s radiant smile was hanging on his face and he pecked Gu Mengmeng’s neck, speaking in a gentle tone, “Yes, I’m by your side, always. Ah Gu, I really like you a lot, can you please stay by my side? Let me accompany you and take care of you forever, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng squinted her eyes, not answering him.
Cole looked up and blew some air towards Gu Mengmeng. Then, he fixed his gaze on Gu Mengmeng’s pupils and repeated himself, sounding like a hypnosis, “I’ve the tail you like the most, it’s so much softer than Lea’s tail. My body is also stronger than that wolf partner of yours so I can definitely satisfy you better when we mate…I’m such a wonderful male who’s willing to lie by your feet to swear my allegiance towards you. Why are you still hesitating? Isn’t it good to have and possess me?”
Gu Mengmeng slowly lowered her head, looking as if she had lost consciousness.
Cole leaned forward and attempted to kiss Gu Mengmeng’s lips but before he could touch them, he heard Gu Mengmeng say coldly, “You said…..you’re stronger than who? Huh?”
Cole was taken aback and when he lowered his head, he noticed that Gu Mengmeng was pushing Ellie’s scale piece against his wound.
“Ah Gu?” Cole called with a low voice.
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head and asked, “I don’t remember allowing you to call me with such a gross title.”
Cole’s frozen expression only sustained for a moment as he immediately regained his composure and then took a step back. Lowering his head respectfully, he called, “Mighty messenger.”
Gu Mengmeng sniggered. “Are you surprised? The Fox Seductive Fragrance is not effective on me.”
Cole shook his head and said, “This just proves that I’m not good enough, I can’t touch the mighty messenger’s heart.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded in agreement. “As compared to that vixen back home, you indeed lack so much more.”
Cole tightened his fists on instinct but upon raising his head to stare into those smiling eyes of Gu Mengmeng, he released them slowly. Looking down, he said, “As compared to mighty Lea, I indeed lack in many areas.”
Gu Mengmeng patted Cole’s shoulder lightly and said, “I’ve already made things clear so you can stop acting. To hold yourself back in using the Fox Seductive Fragrance on me until now……is quite hard on you.”
Cole frowned and looked at Gu Mengmeng with the corners of his eyes. “You’ve been wary of me from the start?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and explained, “I wasn’t wary of you when I first came. When Ian asked me to seek help from you, I really treated you as my life-saving straw….”
Cole probed, “Then….?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled and took a step back. After sitting by the side of her bed, she lightly patted Chixuan’s back and carried him, adding, “You agreed to my suggestion too readily, I had no choice but to be wary.”
