Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 704

Chapter 704: I Didn’t, I Really Didn’t!

Gu Mengmeng composed herself. She did not wish to cause anxiety to Elvis and Lea. As such, she tried her best to hold back the worry in her eyes. “There is one more thing which I didn’t like. Cole kept talking about replacing you. What did he mean? Did he believe that I will like him if he killed you?”

Lea shook his head. “He wanted to make use of the Fox Seductive Fragrance to bewitch you and transfer your feelings for me onto himself. It means… he would steal our memories and make you believe that you had always loved him.”

“Fox Seductive Fragrance?” Gu Mengmeng was stunned. “Didn’t you already pluck off his tail at Sauder, and said that he would never give off the Fox Seductive Fragrance anymore?”

Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s chin. “Silly girl. The Fox Seductive Fragrance does not need to be Cole’s own. Moreover, even if he still had his tail, his own fragrance cannot steal memories.”

Gu Mengmeng was totally confused by Lea’s explanation. She always thought the Fox Seductive Fragrance was akin to the kind of medicine in this world used to spice up one’s love life. How could it possess such evil effects?

Lea said, “A male fox’s fragrance exists solely to attract a female, while a female fox’s fragrance… is the truly powerful thing.”

Gu Mengmeng looked askance at Lea. “So there is a female in Sauder who is together with Cole now?”

Lea nodded, implying that he agreed.

Gu Mengmeng closed her eyes and started to recall all the females in Sauder. But she could not think of anyone particularly suspicious. She looked at Lea again and asked, “Who could it be?”

Lea raised three fingers. “There are only three females in the Snow fox tribe who can emit such a high level Fox Seductive Fragrance.”

Keeping the first finger, Lea said, “Cole’s former partner, Gillian.”

He kept the second finger. “My first brother’s missing partner, Lisa.”

Lea stared at his last finger and suddenly looked very awkward.

Gu Mengmeng didn’t know the reason behind the deep forbearance in his eyes, but didn’t wish to let him brood alone. She gently held his wrist with her free hand. “What’s the matter?”

Lea recollected his senses and took a deep breath. He forced a casual laugh. “Nothing. There is also my father’s concubine, Miranda.”

Gu Mengmeng was momentarily stunned, as she instantly understood the mortification behind Lea’s forbearance.

She took a breath but didn’t know how to comfort Lea.

Lea tightened his embrace of Gu Mengmeng. Unease and pleading filled his eyes. With a raspy voice, he said, “I didn’t… I really didn’t…”

Gu Mengmeng returned Lea’s hug and gently patted his back with a warm smile. “How could Lord Lea, the most intelligent person in the Beast World, also succumb to a bout of foolishness? Your partner mark is already on my ear. Isn’t that the best proof of your innocence that year? If I didn’t suspect you then, I certainly don’t suspect you now.”

Lea was taken aback. He suddenly laughed out and rubbed Gu Mengmeng’s left ear gently. His laugh held a hint of the relief that came after a escaping a tight spot. ” My partner mark is on your ear now. I will say the sweetest nothings for you to hear every day.”

Gu Mengmeng smiled. “But these three females are all missing now. I wonder who is in Cole’s hands, or rather… how many of them?”
