Was this what you wanted to say to me earlier?
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly, pressing her against his chest. Only like this would the pain in his chest be reduced.
It’s fine, from today onwards, I’ll protect you, take care of you and not let you receive any form of hurt even if I have to sacrifice my own life. If he comes to find you one day… I can give up the place of first partner to him.

Gu Mengmeng did not know whether to cry or laugh. She did not know that one day, she could be shipped with Yoo Sijin. F, this was really a wonderful, bubbling joke.

No no, Leader, you’ve misunderstood. This is another person’s story. I had already said that the female lead is called Kang Moyeon, not Gu Mengmeng.


Your consideration really make my heart ache. This must be the reason why you looked as if you’re preoccupied by some troubles these past few days.
Elvis’s words were not a question but a statement. In his heart, he had firmly believed that Gu Mengmeng was the female lead in the story she was telling. This was especially so when he linked it to her crying at her Coming-To-Age Ceremony. He was more certain that the reason why she cried then was because of the absence of the male named Yoo Sijin…
If her heart wished that Yoo Sijin was the one to protect her, the title of first partner would naturally not belong to Elvis.


No wonder, the reason why she was so ambiguous about her answer and was unwilling to publicly acknowledge his identity of first partner was because she left the title for that person.
Thinking more about it, Elvis’s heart became filled with a sour taste.
He hated himself for not meeting her earlier. Why did he let that Yoo Sijin beat him to it…

I swear I’m really not Kang Moyeon. Although I know Yoo Sijin, he doesn’t know me at all. This is really just a story. If I’m lying, you can let the Beast Deity take me away.
Gu Mengmeng shot out her words in one breath and then took a deep breath before adding,
And Leader, if you don’t release me, my waist would be broken by you.

Elvis then noticed the strength he exerted on his own hand and he hurriedly released Gu Mengmeng. Frowning, he asked her,
Let me take a look, did I hurt you?

Gu Mengmeng could finally breathe smoothly and she supported herself on Elvis’s forearm while leaning forward to catch her breath before saying,
I’m fine, I’m fine, luckily you released me in time.


I…
Elvis brows furrowed into a dead knot. He clearly knew that he had such a strong opponent but he chose to cross the line at this time. Being afraid of an enemy that had not appeared yet was really not Elvis’s style. But since it was regarding Gu Mengmeng, he really could not suppress the many uncertainties in his heart.

It’s fine, I was just joking. Look, I’m doing good.
Gu Mengmeng noticed Elvis’s low spirits and patted his shoulder, saying,
Leader, Yoo Sijin really has got nothing to do with me. Even if I know him, he has already mated with Kang Moyeon and we’re separated by the Himalayas Mountains that is a distance nobody could overcome. We would not have any interaction this life so don’t worry about nothing, alright?

However, Elvis did not stop frowning at Gu Mengmeng’s words and instead, his ruthlessness lingered in the atmosphere that even such a slow-witted person like Gu Mengmeng could sense the strong murderous intent.

So, he abandoned you because he chose Kang Moyeon and that’s why you were roaming about such a dangerous forest alone?
Elvis just felt his heart shudder. If he did not find her in time, how long was she going to soak herself in that pond? What if she met ferocious beasts? What if she met stray beasts?


Thinking about how horrible it felt, Elvis clenched both his fists,
Where is he, I’m going to kill him to seek revenge for you!
