Chapter 1559: Why Not?

Lea placed the ingredients into the pot sequentially, and while mixing it he said, “After so many things had happened, I never thought that there would be a time that we would recall that day so peacefully together. There’s really nothing definite in this world.”

Cole smiled without responding.

It was not that he could not understand what he was saying. Lea was implying that so long as you stay alive, there’s still hope.

His little brother was advising him against suicide.

But…

“I know. If I had the intentions, and if Ah Gu take into consideration Chixuan and not be so cruel towards me, I should be able to avoid it. But I had forced her to do so many things that she did not want to do. In the end, I had to let her do something that she wants, so that she could accept it.” Cole glanced subconsciously at the room. He could not see anything through the wall but the stable breathing of that small person had already brought him the greatest rea.s.surance in his dark life. “If I could not get Ah Gu, there’s nothing else in this world that can hold me back. Instead of living like a withered person, why not give my life to Ah Gu and fulfill her wishes… If she really wants to kill me, then kill me. I had already planned the most brutal scenario for her and offered myself to her… If I could exchange it for her courteous treatment, it’s enough, it’s enough.”

Lea glanced sideways at Cole and asked, “So whatever you said about taking over the world is all a lie, right?”

Cole laughed softly and nodded. “If I did not say this, how would Chixuan that brat believe me?”

Lea harrumphed softly and said, “You were just making use of Chixuan’s immaturity and used such a flawed saying to deceive him… If you could not get the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs, you cannot open the doors of time and s.p.a.ce. But you would die if the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs is removed, how would a dead fox be able to take control of the territory then?”

Cole did not deny it and only laughed slightly, “You have already understood it now now, I wonder how long it would take Ah Gu to understand? By then, would she feel more guilt towards me, then remember me for a longer time…”

Lea was stunned, then turned to look at Cole and frowned. “You intentionally used such an illogical reason to trick Cole, so that in the future when Mengmeng understands your plan, she would feel more guilt towards you?”

Cole replied with a rhetorical question, “Why not?”

“Lunatic,” Lea did not agree with it and only turned away to continue mixing the meat in the pot and said, “Mengmeng said that you must be tired after plucking the Xue Ling fruits so she asked me to prepare more dishes to host you.”

Cole looked at Lea’s pot. The steam rising from the pot enshrouded his silhouette. He smiled gently, even if he had not tried it, he could sense how warm this meat would be.

“When she’s awake, let’s eat together.” Cole looked down at his own chest and muttered, “After all, there’s not many chances left for me to be able to eat with her.”

Both of them did not say anything and only sat quietly. His gaze would constantly s.h.i.+ft to look at the door.

Gu Mengmeng felt that she had slept for a long time. When she was awake, Lea’s meat had already been heated up a few times.

When Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng out of the room, Lea smiled and approached her. Pinching Gu Mengmeng’s little face, he said, “If you are still not waking, this pot of meat would have become meatb.a.l.l.s.”

Gu Mengmeng hugged Lea’s neck listlessly. Her voice was still hoa.r.s.e from waking up and her eyes were still groggy, as she mumbled with a soft voice, “Hungry…”
