Chapter 690: Your Gentleness Just Makes Me Greedier

“Your gentleness just makes me greedier.” Lea held Gu Mengmeng tighter, the fatigue on his face dissolving from her hapless pampering.
Many times, it was not that a male was not jealous, but he would suppress the jealousy in his heart for fear of being abandoned.
If Gu Mengmeng had directly warned him “I will kick you out if you continue behaving this way”, perhaps he would not dare to treat her suitors with such obvious animosity.
But what could she do? Mengmeng had never lost her temper with him before. Only when he had nearly lost control and wanted to murder someone did she throw a tantrum to lead him away, so that he could calm down.
This silent assent was actually indulging his possessiveness. It was an unexplainable sense of superiority, as if telling every suitor that as long as he was alive, they would forever remain slaves.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “You are jealous because you care about me. Do you want me to get angry at you for caring about me?”
Lea, “Will you not get angry if I really killed Burke?”
Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment. “Perhaps a little angry.”
Lea frowned. “Why? Are you touched by Burke? Why were you so harsh towards me initially, but so soft-hearted with Burke now?”
Gu Mengmeng looked up and reached out to poke Lea’s head. “What are you saying. I mean that Burke is a member of the Saint Nazaire. You and Elvis have already set down the rules that Saint Nazaire tribesmen will never kill their own. If you broke the rules just because I failed to give you an adequate sense of security, I might be... a little angry at myself.”
Lea got a slight shock before pulling her into his embrace again. He continued to use his chin to press down on Gu Mengmeng’s little head. “Mengmeng, after we capture Cole and reawaken Chixuan, let’s go find the Kiss of the Ocean.”
Gu Mengmeng stiffened and lowered her eyes with a frown. With a slight quiver in her voice, she asked, “You... know about the Kiss of the Ocean?”
Lea was so sensitive, how could he not have noticed Gu Mengmeng’s peculiarity?
He held Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder and looked at her shining eyes. “My father told me before that the Kiss of the Ocean is the essence of the sea. It can cleanse away and forgive everything. So I was thinking, if we can find that... perhaps it can wash away Snake’s poison in you. Then we can mate.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded stiffly, as she instinctively avoided Lea’s eyes.
Lea’s well-defined fingers gently cupped Gu Mengmeng’s chin, not allowing her to avoid his probing gaze. “What are you worried about? Tell me.”
Gu Mengmeng bit her lips and shook her head. “Nothing.”
Lea didn’t say another word but just hugged Gu Mengmeng and sighed. “I know you are hiding something but I dare not probe further... what should I do? This feeling is even more unbearable than having to see Burke pursuing you. Wanting to know the truth but getting the feeling that the truth might push me beyond the brink of insanity...”
Gu Mengmeng remained silent and just returned Lea’s embrace until he thought she had fallen asleep. She then said lightly, “Don’t worry. I will not leave you all.”
This sentence struck Lea like a bolt of lightning.
He suddenly thought of the time in the Snake King valley, when they were begging Snake to let them see Gu Mengmeng...
