Lea’s expression darkened. He looked at Gu Mengmeng and asked, “So you will weep and curse not because you are upset over losing me, but because you feel unhappy for losing out to Nina? Is that right?”
Gu Mengmeng was lost for a second as she had trouble catching up to Lea’s line of thinking.
She finally understood after a moment’s thought. Her analogy had touched upon an old sore spot of Lea’s.
Hence she hastily tried to soothe him. “I was just narrating an example. I don’t mean it that way.”
Lea refused to believe. He frowned as his slanted eyes filled with desolation. It was as if the words “I am upset” was written clearly across his face.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How long had it been since that incident?
Sigh…
The speaker might have no particular intentions, but the listener was free to read into the words any way he wanted.
Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s face and kissed him. “Then I won’t use Nina in my example. I will use Maya, alright? If you ditch me for Maya, I will definitely feel very aggrieved…”
Lea lowered his eyes and looked down at his crossed fingers. With a faint twist of his lips, he said, “You still blame me, don’t you? Because of that incident, you still harbor a grudge and refuse to trust me? You are unable to forget my earlier abandonment of you…”
Gu Mengmeng held her forehead. How did things come to this stage?
How was it that the more she tried to soothe him, the more belligerent he became?
“No…” Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s face with the intention to clarify further, but his brows sank at the corners as he choked back miserable sobs. “You don’t need to deny. I understand. I was the one who was in the wrong in the first place…”
Gu Mengmeng said, “No, no…”
Lea turned his head to the side as if he was about to cry. He looked utterly dejected.
Gu Mengmeng saw that it would not be so easy to coax Lea this time.
Hence, she narrowed her eyes and nimbly pinched Lea’s ears. “Yes, I am unhappy at that little act you put on with Nina. It doesn’t matter if it was real or fake, I will never forgive you for saying you don’t love me! So you better keep away from other females from now on. If I see you being nice towards any female apart from me, I will twist your ears off. Do you hear me?!”
At Gu Mengmeng’s rant, Lea stopped his belligerence. He stared deeply into Gu Mengmeng’s eyes and nodded seriously. He behaved like a samoyed dog being admonished by his master, looking innocent and pitiful, directly appealing to one’s heart.
He reached out and took Gu Mengmeng by the waist and enveloped her a big hug. “My Mengmeng is the best. I knew you wouldn’t not care about me.”
Gu Mengmeng held her forehead and sighed.
That Lea was such a degenerate. He refused to be coaxed but immediately stopped his nonsense after being shouted at.
But weren’t they just analyzing Maya’s matter? Where did they leave off…
“But there’s something I must correct.” Lea rested his chin on Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder. He glanced sideways at her. “Melinda is also nothing compared to you. In this entire world, no one can be compared to you. You are not inferior to anyone.”
Gu Mengmeng couldn’t help bursting out in laughter. She did feel rather happy being praised by her man like that.
No matter how Gu Mengmeng looked at it, Melinda was really more beautiful than her.
But who wasn’t willing to be the most beautiful person in the eyes of her own man?
Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s head with both hands and kneaded vigorously for a while. She then said, “Mmm, you have pretty good taste. Please maintain your standards.”
Because of Lea’s interruption, Gu Mengmeng also forgot which stage of their analysis had they progressed to.
But the results of their little plan would be unveiled tomorrow anyway. It made no difference whether or not they completed their analysis.
