Chapter 1434: Who Are You Calling Fake?
“Mengmeng, do you remind that period when you were demanding a breakup?” Lea asked.
Gu Mengmeng nodded. That period was so tormenting to her that she naturally remembered it clearly.
Lea continued, “Do you know what was the most painful thing to me at that time?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head.
Lea, “It was not that painful watching you and Elvis being lovey-dovey, collecting salt and digging for potatoes, even hearing you guys mate outside the cave was not it. But because you hid in the cave and never left the place, leading a life so quiet that no one ever heard and saw you. I did not know whether you were crying, whether you were eating, whether you were fine, whether you were alive, whether you were still at Saint Nazaire, and even whether you were still in the Beast World. All the guesses that I made without knowing anything almost drove me crazy. I prayed to God not for you to forgive me, but for me to be able to watch you from afar, to know that you are still alive and present. Knowing that you are still fine is enough for me. Just a sight from a distance, even if I could only see your figure, even if I could not hear your voice, just one look can let me pull through that day. No matter how heartbreaking it was to watch you and Elvis being so loving, I would gladly endure that hardship.”
Gu Mengmeng bit her lower lip and hugged Lea’s neck. She bit his shoulder and complained, “Who asked you to fake it? You pretended to fall in love with Nina, causing me to be hurt emotionally and physically, yet you are pretending to be pitiful now? Hmph!”
Lea laughed bitterly and said, “I know that it’s my fault, so all the suffering I had at that time was to punish me. Afterwards when I begged for your forgiveness, serves me right on being tormented by you. I do not dare to complain or be dissatisfied. I am eternally grateful that you could forgive me eventually.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed softly and replied, “Alright, we were talking about them, why did you bring up the past?”
Lea kissed the mark on Gu Mengmeng’s left ear and said, “That’s about them.”
“Hmm?” Gu Mengmeng responded with a sound.
Lea, “How different could Gregory’s current situation be from mine? He had no right to stay and also could not bear to leave. His current situation is not even as good as mine. At least at that time, I knew that you liked me and I still had the chance to salvage the situation. But he did not even know if you had any feelings towards him. If he were to return to Motou Mountains like this… Ha, how miserable would the remaining of his life be?”
“I don’t think it’s that bad… Maybe he will meet a female that he likes in the future and start a new life and live happily ever after.” Gu Mengmeng said.
Lea laughed softly and pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little face, saying, “Do you know how mesmerising you are? How could all those who liked you ever be attracted to someone else? If you don’t believe it, look at Burke. It has been two years and he had already become the leader of Zacharias. From what I know, the females in Zacharias had already expressed their liking towards him, and even there were some from 16 valued females who confessed, but what was the outcome? Wasn’t he still single and waiting for you to return to Kanwu so that he could pretend to report official matters to you as he was afraid that you could sense his feelings and distance from him? But he was just like this – he would rather guard his thoughts and anticipate your presence everyone than to let other females have any chance. Do you think that Gregory seems like someone who is even more flexible minded thatn Burke?”
