Chapter 467: Do You Love Me?

“If you hadn’t allowed him to enter the cave when I got injured that time… when the ice melted this year, you would have seen a dead fox at the entrance of the cave.”

Startled, Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis and could only respond after a moment, “He was at the entrance when the stray beasts were there? Then why didn’t he come in to help?”

Elvis’ face froze, and he lowered his head, “Xiao Meng… I’m sorry.”

Gu Mengmeng frowned, looking at Elvis without a word.

Elvis pressed his lips together, “During the battle, I purposely pretended to faint from injury to give Lea an opportunity to enter the cave… I was afraid you would feel bad to mate with him while I was awake, so… that… don’t be angry…”

Gu Mengmeng looked away, not wanting to talk to Elvis at all.

Like a child that had done something wrong, Elvis followed behind Gu Mengmeng, pulling her hand, “I know I’m wrong now, I shouldn’t have lied to you and pretended to faint to make you worry. However, Lea was on the verge of death… If I hadn’t, he would have died in the snow. I was afraid of regretting, and afraid you would too… So I… I was wrong… If you are angry, then hit me? If not… twist my ears?”

With that, Elvis transformed his pair of wolf ears, then placed Gu Mengmeng’s tiny hands on them while bending down to match her height, “I promise I won’t hide, you can twist them until you are no longer angry, alright?”

Gu Mengmeng sighed, “If I didn’t remember wrongly, we had just mated when the stray beasts barged into the cave? Elvis… do you really love me?”

Elvis was completely frozen. He grabbed Gu Mengmeng into his embrace, holding her tightly, “I know you are angry, I will accept any punishment, but you cannot leave me! No way!”

“Do you love me?” It was a very solemn question.

Because Elvis clearly remembered Gu Mengmeng once saying: If you ever have a change of heart… I will bring my sons back to where I came from, never returning, and make sure you will never ever find us!

Having experienced Gu Mengmeng “jumping into the lake” in the afternoon, Elvis was especially sensitive. He was too fearful of Gu Mengmeng leaving him, and he did not know if Gu Mengmeng, whom took him so much effort to convince to stay, would be disappointed or suspect his intentions because of this incident, and… have her heart waver in her decision to stay.”

Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath, “I never said I would leave you, I merely asked you… do you really love me?”

Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly, not willing to let go even a little. He was desperate to show how much he loved her, yet he found all languages were so powerless. He did not know what to say for Gu Mengmeng to believe that he only created such an opportunity for Lea only because he loved her too much and did not want her to meet any obstacles.

After pondering for a long while, Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s hand and placed her palm on his chest, “If I dig it out to show you… then don’t leave, alright?”

Gu Mengmeng felt the palpitations from her palms and slowly spoke after a long while. “You don’t have to use such methods to make me stay. My sons are still here, so I won’t leave.”

With that, Gu Mengmeng retracted her arm.

Elvis refused to let go, but he was afraid that Gu Mengmeng would hurt herself during the struggle, so he could only use his other hand to hold his waist, fixing her in his arms, furrowing his brows. Elvis could feel the uneasiness coming in waves in his chest.

“You can’t even tell me that you love me, then what are you doing hugging me?! Let go, let go of me!” Gu Mengmeng wriggled and struggled, kicking Elvis.

Elvis furrowed his eyebrows, sounding hoa.r.s.e as he said repeatedly beside Gu Mengmeng’s ear, “Xiao Meng, I love you. Xiao Meng, I love you… Xiao Meng, I love you!”
