Chapter 823: Touching Someone Else In Front Of Me? Do You Think I Am Dead?

Elvis pulled back Gu Mengmeng unhappily as he glared at her hand. “Touching someone else in front of me? Do you think I am dead?”

Gu Mengmeng did not mind Elvis’ possessive att.i.tude. Instead, she felt gladdened by it. My hubby is so overbearing and domineering, don’t you agree? Oh, my racing little heart…

Smiling sweetly, she looked at Elvis with her head tilted and face full of adoration. “Wah, my hubby is so das.h.i.+ng…”

Elvis couldn’t maintain his black face and laughed out. “Why are you still touching someone else if I am so das.h.i.+ng?”

Gu Mengmeng blushed. Was she really going to flirt with her hubby in front of her mother-in-law?

Stealing a glimpse at Natalie, she discovered that Natalie looked overwhelmed. As if she had been struck by lightning, she appeared rather fl.u.s.tered and ill-at-ease. She also looked like she was about to cry.

Gu Mengmeng felt it strange. Peter and Natalie had just had a major quarrel until she had even smacked him. Even then, Natalie held firm and didn’t cry, now… why was she crying? Could it be that she was feeling a pang of nostalgia for her dead partners, after seeing the flirting between Elvis and her?

But that shouldn’t be the case, her expression was obviously one of fear…

What was she scared of?

“Still looking at her?” Elvis was unhappy that someone had distracted Gu Mengmeng’s attention from himself. Even though it was a female, it made him furious.

Gu Mengmeng felt that if she didn’t smooth his ruffled feathers now, Elvis might just stomp off.

She didn’t want Elvis to get jealous over nothing again. Hence she held his face and kissed his cheek. “I won’t look anymore. I only have you in my eyes and my heart. My gut, my fingertips…”

Even though he knew she was obviously acting silly, Elvis still enjoyed it immensely.

Seeing his smile, Gu Mengmeng knew she had successfully pacified him. Taking advantage of the moment, she said, “Hubby, I want to tell you something.”

“What?” He knew she would have an ulterior motive after being so unaccountably solicitous.

Gu Mengmeng batted her eyelashes. “I saw some grapes on the way back. I want to eat grapes…”

She had indeed spotted some wild grapes growing on a cliff on the way. The dense cl.u.s.ters of deep purple grapes looked extremely delicious. However, she had not bothered with them then, intending to ask Lea, Wabei, Ian and the rest to go pick some after they returned.

At this point, she had no choice but to use this reason to cajole Elvis to leave.

“Grapes?”

It was very normal for her to ask her own male to get something she wished to eat.

But she didn’t mention it on the way back. She also didn’t mention it when they met Lea at the entrance. She was deliberately mentioning it only now.

Elvis would be a fool if he couldn’t tell that she was deliberately trying to bait him to leave.

But seeing her greedy face, he couldn’t bear to disappoint her. Even though he obviously knew she harbored ulterior motives, he just nodded and headed off at her directions to the place where those “grapes” grew.

Gu Mengmeng finally sat down beside Natalie after Elvis left.

Natalie’s emotions had stabilized, but she still looked at Gu Mengmeng with some trepidation. She appeared to be in a dilemma, but eventually spoke. “Could you not… abandon Elvis?”

Gu Mengmeng was taken aback. She pointed at her own nose and asked, “Me? Abandon Elvis? Why would I abandon Elvis?”

Could it be her interaction with Elvis was not as sweet as she thought it was? Could it be in Natalie’s eyes, they looked like a couple just playacting and on the verge of divorce?
