Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 694

Chapter 694: Are You Abandoning Me?

“No!” Gu Mengmeng hollered and sped over.

Gu Mengmeng successfully distracted Lea and he was startled for half a second. He pushed Elvis aside and ran towards Gu Mengmeng. Lea threw her across his shoulders and sprinted in the opposite direction.

Gu Mengmeng was feeling very nauseous from being spun around like that, but she didn’t stop Lea’s madness.

After running for a whole night until the sun rose the next morning, they reached an extremely dense part of the forest.

Lea gradually slowed down and stared at his surroundings in a daze.

Brows tightly knitted, Lea put Gu Mengmeng down. His frown deepened when he noticed her pale face.

Twisting his lips, Lea was unable to utter a word of explanation.

How to explain?

That he had secretly started spiking Elvis’ food from seven days ago. That Lea had made use of Elvis’ complete trust in him to spike his food and weaken his body. That he had done it so Elvis would not be able to fully display his fifth-level beast power last night and enabled Lea to snatch her away?

She had such a good sense of sight, she must have clearly seen how despicable his face was last night.

What else could he say to her now?

Gu Mengmeng leaned against a massive tree and gradually sat down. She breathed out and looked up at Lea with a smile. “Not running anymore?”

Lea nodded in silence. He just waited quietly for her questioning and reprimand.

But…

“Next time, could you carry me across your back when you go for a long-distance run like that? Hanging me across your shoulders made me so nauseous…”

Lea, “…?!”

Gu Mengmeng raised her head and gazed at Lea’s befuddled expression. She chuckled. “I am hungry and thirsty after a long night of running. Could you get me something to eat?”

Lea gaped and wanted to say something but his words got stuck in his throat After much back and forth, he finally spoke a single word. “Alright.”

Lea surveyed the surroundings and discovered a tree not far off, full of juicy fruits hanging off its branches. He quickly went over and plucked two of them. After wiping them clean, he presented the fruits to Gu Mengmeng. “Eat this first to stave off your hunger. I will go hunting in a while and make you something nice later.”

Gu Mengmeng received the fruits and smiled with one raised eyebrow. “”Wow, never thought that I could still eat peaches in this place.”

“Peaches?” Lea asked.

Gu Mengmeng nodded. “This is something that can be found in my previous place. However, they were not as big as this.”

Taking a bite, the peach was revealed to be full of sweet juices. Gu Mengmeng squinted in satisfaction and handed over the other peach to Lea. “Ooh, delicious. Take one.”

Lea shook his head and just continued to look at Lea in silence.

He was thinking that if he could have been a bit more selfish right from the start and let go of all that grievances and thoughts of revenge. If he had taken her away like he had now, hiding in the deep forest and never letting the Messenger of the Beast Deity appear. Then she would never have had to go through all that pain and torment. Could they have avoided all this aimless drifting? She would be like how she was now smiling because of the sweetness of a fruit and sharing it with him.

Lea pushed the peach back into Gu Mengmeng’s hands and kissed her lightly on the head. “Mengmeng, I love you… Mengmeng, sorry.”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Did you bring me into such a deep part of the forest just to abandon me?”
