Chapter 166: Luckily, She’s Unwilling To See Me

Elvis remained silent and did not answer him.

Lea sighed deeply and then took the initiative to ask, “She’s unwilling to see me?”

Actually, Lea heard the entire conversation between Elvis and Gu Mengmeng earlier in the cave.

Even the sound of her sobbing while shaking her head, he heard it all distinctly.

Elvis nodded his head almost invisibly, his lips pressed into a straight line.

However, Lea smiled and said with a bitter but slightly relieved tone, “Unwilling to see me… luckily, she’s unwilling to see me.”

Elvis looked at Lea in confusion. There was no speech involved as he inquired what Lea meant with his gaze.

Lea breathed in deeply before replying, “She’s unwilling to see me because she’s still holding a grudge against me. And holding a grudge against me… at least implies that I’m still in her heart.”

Elvis did not quite get Lea’s logic, and he repeated the story of Gu Mengmeng drowning herself in the cold water. Then, he said how he dealt with it once again. Lea nodded his head and said, “You dealt with it well. I already asked Bode to cook a pot of water shuttles when I arrived and had also added a lot of yellow roots. Sandy will send it over later. You can just appease Gu Mengmeng and ask her to drink more water.”

Elvis nodded his head to agree then he glanced at Lea and said, “Then you…”

Lea shook his hands and said, “The most urgent matter is for you to mate with Mengmeng before winter. Only after you successfully become Mengmeng’s First Partner, then I can tell her the truth and think of a method to beg for her forgiveness.”

Elvis asked, “Are you so certain that she’ll forgive you?”

Lea shook his head and give off a bitter smile, “No, I’m just betting, betting that in her heart, I’m more important than her principles.”

Elvis sighed and said, “Why did you force yourself to choose Nina back then? If you chose Sandy, when you explain the truth to Xiaomeng in the future, there would still be someone who can help put in good words for you.”

Lea shook his head again. He said, “How can I let her lose her good friend at the same time she loses her lover? She likes Sandy so much and it’s good to have Sandy accompany her when she’s sad over me.”

Elvis was quiet, and he stood rooted on the spot, not knowing what to say.

Lea used his chin to point between his legs and said, “How do you plan to explain your injury to Mengmeng?”

Elvis’s expression darkened, and he spoke with a low voice, “She didn’t question closely so I didn’t explain too.”

Lea patted Elvis’s shoulder and said, “Bring out the aura that you had when you found me for a death battle. I didn’t hesitate to trap myself in this kind of situation just to see you being at a loss of what to do in front of Mengmeng.”

Elvis did not say anything, he did not have anything to say.

Actually, he did not mind not being Gu Mengmeng’s First Partner, nor did he mind Gu Mengmeng liking Lea more than himself. He just wanted to stay by Gu Mengmeng’s side to defend her, take care of her, protect her and look at her. But Gu Mengmeng kept insisting on guarding the system of one husband to a wife, causing him to have no place to backtrack. He did not mind being given the cold shoulder or receiving any form of injustice but leaving her and losing her was his bottom-line nobody could touch. He could not consent to only this point.

Thus, that night, he went to find Lea and used the traditional method that males in the Beast World used all along to decide who should have the authority to protect Gu Mengmeng.

He won. But seeing how Gu Mengmeng was upset and miserable over Lea’s departure and even grieving to the extent of wishing to die, Elvis kept questioning himself these past few days, was he wrong? Maybe he…

Lea and Elvis had so many years of friendship. They fought alongside each other and braved countless dangers together, letting them have a strong understanding of each other.

Even though Elvis did not say anything, Lea understood what he was thinking about.

“There’s no need to feel guilty. Losing to you is my own decision. We all know that this is the best choice, no?”
