Novel Full Chapter 1349 - How Heartless Are You?
Chapter 1349: How Heartless Are You?
Precisely because she was not afraid, Gu Mengmeng could clearly see that the moment she and Elvis fell, a white figure followed suit—it was Lea and he was smiling poignantly. His smile held traces of hurt and pain, but not the slightest bit of fear.
Gu Mengmeng’s heart stirred. She tried to avoid Lea’s gaze but found herself unable to look away from those slanted eyes of his.
She had been too hot-headed…
When Gregory said the two of them would join her in death, he wasn’t referring to the counter damage of the mating contract at all. He meant that the moment she died, the two of them would never continue living on without her.
She had been really muddled from her anxiety. Her actions were truly too impulsive.
But…
It was too late to regret now.
Shrill…!
A piercing bird cry resonated. Before Gu Mengmeng had time to react, she felt her body come to a sudden halt. Then instead of continuing downwards, her body started moving sideways in a circular motion until Lea appeared before her. Thereafter, the three of them began traveling upwards. Gu Mengmeng lifted her gaze to see thick, hard steel-like claws hooked into Elvis’ and Lea’s flesh. Nevertheless, the two of them appeared oblivious to the pain as they kept their eyes fixed on Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng felt sheepish from their gaze and slowly lowered her head.
The whole thing lasted less than three minutes.
But to these four people, it was as if a lifetime had passed.
Returning to the cave, Gregory directly threw Lea and Elvis in, before sitting by the entrance and staring coldly at Gu Mengmeng. “If you have the courage, jump again. I will only save one of your partners. If you jump a third time, I will only save you.”
Gu Mengmeng ignored Gregory’s warning. Behaving like a child who knew she had done wrong, she lowered her head and pinched Elvis’ beast dress gently. She whimpered. “Hubby… I was wrong…”
Elvis’ brows remained tightly knitted. He asked Gu Mengmeng, “Have you finally calmed down?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded with a “mmm.”
Elvis drew Gu Mengmeng into his embrace and said in a hoarse voice, “How heartless are you? To let me once again witness you seeking death right in front of me…”
The previous time had also been like that. She had grinned at him and said ‘thank you, goodbye’, before diving straight into the lake.
The same thing had happened this time.
The moment Gu Mengmeng fell backwards, Elvis felt like a knife was being driven straight into his heart. Even though he was holding Gu Mengmeng firmly in his arms now, he was still unable to feel his own heartbeat and unable to stop his shivering.
“I was wrong… I got so hot-headed that I… sorry…”Gu Mengmeng buried her face in Elvis’ chest as her tears streamed down uncontrollably. She said in a choked voice, “I was too worried. Chixuan has had a hard life since a young age. He has always been under Cole’s thumb. I only just managed to get him back. What if… what if Cole really did something to Chixuan. I… I can’t control myself the moment I think of this… I am sorry, I… hubby, you are hurt. Let me bandage your wounds…”
His reprimand was stuck in his throat, completely extinguished by Gu Mengmeng’s tears.
Elvis just shook his head. “This is just a small injury. It doesn’t matter. As long as you are fine… no one is able to take my life.”
Gu Mengmeng cried even harder. She didn’t know if she had too much of a shock from just now, or if she was just worried about Chixuan. Or perhaps she was blaming her own recklessness in hurting Elvis and Lea. Anyway, she just felt terrible and sobbed heavily.
