Chapter 128: Discarding Him After Making Use Of Him?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Oh my f***, a billionaire was truly different, he wanted to gift her with a house once he opened his mouth? Did he know the cost of a Chinese imperial court in the present world? A wardrobe... Gu Mengmeng stared at Elvis with fiery eyes.
However...
Gu Mengmeng looked down at the filthy clothes she was wearing and then looked at the new clothes Lea had put aside.
She really wanted the new clothes. But... she did not want to exchange herself for them.
Some stuff still needed to be clearly talked out.
Gu Mengmeng breathed in deeply and when she looked up again, the atmosphere in the cave became quite solemn.
Lea knew what Gu Mengmeng was going to tell Elvis, and he turned around to leave quietly. He guarded at the entrance to prevent others from interrupting.
Elvis frowned, the uneasy feeling surfacing once more, enclosing him in an unknown sense of fear.
“Leader.” Gu Mengmeng opened her mouth and continued after thinking for a while, “You know that I don’t belong here. The custom here is vastly different from the place I was originally staying at. Over at our side, we won’t marry immediately after we matured into adulthood and both males and females have equal statuses. Males taking care of females was a virtue and not an obligation. The females who were being taken care of will be grateful and not treat it as a matter of course...”
Elvis listened to her quietly, his thin lips clamping into a straight line. His heartstrings were taut. and he was deadly afraid that Gu Mengmeng would say that sentence he did not want to hear.
But in the end, Gu Mengmeng still said it.
“So, I can’t mate with you. I really can’t entrust my entire life to someone I only know for three days.” Gu Mengmeng looked down, not having the courage to meet eyes with Elvis. Although the time they knew each other was very short, she was aware of how well Elvis treated her. But the more she knew, the more she could not take advantage of his liking towards her. She knew that the way she was saying all of these was very cruel but a shorter pain was better than dragging it in the long run. She could not possibly tell Elvis, “I have always treated you as a friend’ while Elvis delved deeper and deeper, right? Those are only what those fake bitches would do.
Seeing how Elvis was not answering, she breathed in deeply before continuing, “I can understand if you’re angry. I should have told you clearly from the start. I’m sorry to have caused you to misunderstand. I can understand if you’re not available to take me in anymore. I can head over to Sandy’s place and ask whether she can take me in for a period of time.”
Elvis did not say anything, and he just pulled Gu Mengmeng into an embrace, tightly locking her in his arms, not leaving a single inch of space between them.
Just a second ago, Elvis truly experienced an excruciating pain, just like how a dull knife was piercing his heart. Every word from Gu Mengmeng tore his heart apart, and he used every single bit of flesh and blood in his body to engrave the feeling of losing her.
It was painful, so painful until he could not breathe, so painful until he did not even have the energy to shout, “I’m in so much pain.”
Elvis could not ponder over other things. He only knew that if he did not pull Gu Mengmeng into his arms, the wound on his left chest that he could not see would probably cost him his life.
“Elvis, you’re hurting me.” Gu Mengmeng understood how sad Elvis was because his embrace made her feel the same. The thumping of his heart was transmitting her his emotions through their clothes. Her every sensory organ was telling her that she was doing such a cruel thing until Gu Mengmeng felt a tremendous sense of guilt, as if...
As if she did not reject Elvis but instead, abandoned him, and it was like discarding him after making use of him.
