Gu Mengmeng pressed her lips gently onto Elvis’ own, neither insisting or resisting, allowing him to take control. He drew her into a deep kiss.
Elvis only let go of her after a long time, when the two of them were rather short of breath.
He was just about to flip over and do something unmentionable when Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “You are now immune to the Fox Seductive Fragrance. No one apart from me… can awaken… it.”
Elvis was stunned, before realizing the fire in him was gradually fading. He felt as if he was slowly regaining his common sense after being under a spell. His heart rate returned to normal and his breathing became more even.
Elvis frowned down at Gu Mengmeng, who was being pressed into the ground by him. “What happened?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled as she sat up with her arms looped around Elvis’ neck. “I tried the bewitching spell on you, as an added guarantee. In case one day, someone tries to snatch you away with the Fox Seductive Fragrance while I am sleeping.”
“So annoying.” Elvis gritted his teeth. Having all that fire in him abruptly put out was quite a letdown for him, but he still couldn’t bear to bite her.
He sat up and drew her into his arms. Giving a helpless sigh, he returned to the original topic. “You have the purest Fox Seductive Fragrance on your body and have also learned the bewitching spell… so when do you intend to go treat Sandy?”
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her own brows hesitantly. “Sandy is now pregnant and it is too tough for her to travel long distances. With her character, if I undo the spell on her now, she will definitely reveal herself… I am afraid that Cole will use even more vicious methods against her then. So I want to wait until she gives birth, before breaking the bewitchment. She can then return to Saint Nazaire and keep out of Cole’s way.”
“Will Cole let go of her so easily?” Elvis was doubtful.
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head with a light laugh. “Someone has been all alone for an entire winter… he should be seeking me out very soon.”
Elvis thought about it before smiling. “You intend to have Wabei escort Sandy back?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded.
But Elvis said, “Are you not worried that he might eat Sandy when he is in a bad mood?”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “I will say it is Snakel who wants him to help me protect Snakel. This way, he will rather eat himself than eat Sandy.”
“That’ll be good. With Wabei in Saint Nazaire, it will be difficult for Cole to play any tricks there.” Elvis nodded in approval at Gu Mengmeng’s plan.
But Lea continued to stare into the distance with his arms crossed behind his bank. “I don’t think so.”
“Mmm?” Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea inquiringly.
Lea replied, “How could Cole not be prepared for any solution we might think of? Wabei will already be within his calculations. If we let Wabei protect Sandy, we might be walking right into his trap.”
Gu Mengmeng felt a jolt in her heart. That’s right, how could such a crafty person as Cole not have factored in Wabei?
“Moreover, so what if we send Sandy away? Unless you can hide all the people you care about, he will always have one way or another. So I am afraid that hiding Sandy is not a good plan.” Lea held Gu Mengmeng’s little hand. “It is still safer to hold one’s vulnerability in one’s own hands.”
“Do you mean I should keep Sandy by my side, and protect her myself?”
Lea turned and planted his elbows on the ground between Gu Mengmeng’s legs. He pulled his upper body over her thighs. With a flirtatious smile, he pinched the few wisps of hair by Gu Mengmeng’s ear. “I mean that you should obediently hide behind Elvis and I. Don’t expose our vulnerability, alright?”
