Chapter 452: Since You Don’t Allow, I Won’t Look At It Then
Upon seeing the flustered bunch, Gu Mengmeng burst out in laughter and felt that she was looking at someone tricking the marquess with beacon fires.
After informing Elvis, Gu Mengmeng followed the females to the water source.
The water source was a lake, with its surface as calm as a mirror surface. The females all crouched by the sides of the lake to drink the water, creating glistening sparkles as ripples could be seen at the same time.
Gu Mengmeng smiled like a kid who had succeeded in her prank. She was holding an unknown wild grass in her mouth and biting onto the tip of it, causing it to move upwards now and then, just like a hooligan who did not study and knew nothing from the ancient times.
Sitting on Elvis’s shoulder, Gu Mengmeng felt like she saw something on the surface of the lake. She spat the lotus leaf out and patted Elvis’s shoulder profusely in excitement, “Hubby hubby, send me to the side of the lake.”
Elvis did not know her intention but still did what she instructed.
Once Gu Mengmeng reached the side of the lake, she slapped her thigh all of a sudden and then dropped herself into the lake the next second.
Elvis’s chest tightened while his pupils contracted abruptly. The scene in front of him overlapped with the scene when she was preparing to leave through that lake where they first met because of Lea. Elvis’s body reacted faster than his brain and he followed her closely behind, diving into the lake with a plop. Then, it was Lea, followed by Auretin. After that, the surrounding crowd who was not aware of the situation also jumped into the lake….
Elvis did not swim far when he grabbed onto Gu Mengmeng and pulled her out from the water by clinging onto her wrist. The water was not deep as it was below Elvis’s belly button by a bit.
Gu Mengmeng touched her wet face with her free hand and asked in doubt while staring at Elvis who looked like he wanted to kill someone, “What are you doing?”
Elvis clenched his teeth and growled, “I’m the one who’s supposed to ask you that, alright?!”
Gu Mengmeng completely did not know why Elvis was angry, she only pointed at a flower floating on the center of the lake surface and said, “I just wanted to swim over and take a look at whether it’s a lotus flower… why are you angry?”
Elvis did not look at where Gu Mengmeng was pointing to as he just frowned and said, “No, there’s nothing there!”
After he finished speaking, Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng and headed towards the land. At the same time, he cast a glance at Lea. Lea then secretly went into the lake and squashed that lotus flower from its stalk into pieces before swimming back like nothing happened before.
After they reached the land, Gu Mengmeng faced the three-party joint-hearing of Elvis, Lea and Auretin. The three of them formed a triangle around Gu Mengmeng and trapped her in it. Elvis’s face was as black as coal, Lea’s expression became cold and Auretin……he originally had face paralysis so he always had this expression on his face.
Gu Mengmeng clearly felt that she did not do anything wrong but when the three of them stared at her like that, she could not help but feel a little guilty. She muttered to herself, “No……isn’t it just a flower…..since you don’t allow, I won’t look at it then…..is there a need to be this angry?”
Elvis’s face darkened and he stared at Gu Mengmeng in disappointment and sorrow while spitting each word in a rage, “You promised me that you won’t leave me!”
Upon seeing how Elvis started scratching his left chest with his claws due to the extreme pain, creating four bloody streaks that were dreadful to one’s mind, Gu Mengmeng immediately stepped forward and held onto his wrist, flustered. “What are you doing? Aren’t I just going for a swim to look at the flower? I’m just away from you for less than two hundred meters, is there a need for you to dig your heart out and hurt yourself?”
However, Elvis was not swayed by Gu Mengmeng’s words. His gaze was so deep until it could swallow everything in this world. His sorrow was engraved in his bones and his voice sounded like it was resonance from his deafening heartbeat. “It’s the second time, it’s the second time you did it!”
