Chapter 917

: It Was Chixuan Who Scratched Me, So Painful.
Cole was no fool and he naturally understood Gu Mengmeng’s meaning.
She meant that she couldn’t care less if anything had happened between him and Ellie.
Ha, his Ah Gu really knew how to torture him.
Just as he was about to say something, Lea’s voice sounded out from behind him.
How’s this role-playing game of yours going?

Gu Mengmeng tilted her head to glance at Lea standing beside Cole. His entire body was full of scratches.
And he was carrying an unconscious Chixuan.
Gu Mengmeng was stunned as she rushed towards Lea.
What happened?

Lea gently hooked Gu Mengmeng chin.
Are you asking about me or him?

G knew that
him
referred to the unconscious Chixuan. She also knew Lea was making a fuss so as to temper down her emotions. Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath before exhaling slowly. After calming herself down, she replied,
I am asking about you both. What happened?

Satisfied that Gu Mengmeng had calmed down, Lea pointed at Cole.
Just so that he could impersonate me and experience my life, this Mister Cole had Chixuan commit self-harm to hold me back. Chixuan repeatedly tried to harm himself, forcing me to stay back and tend to him… ha, but he forgot that I am a witch doctor. I have plenty of ways to treat this first-level beast.


Self-harm?
Those words jolted Gu Mengmeng’s heart. She instinctively went over to check Chixuan’s body for wounds.
Lea held Gu Mengmeng’s hand.
Don’t worry. Although I wasted some time, I didn’t let him hurt himself.

Only then did Gu Mengmeng look up. She gently stroked Lea’s face. He treasured that face of his the most, but two vicious scratches had been left in the area just an inch away from under his eyes. Any closer and he might have been blinded.
Gu Mengmeng’s heart ached. She wanted to touch it but was afraid he might be in pain. So she just asked tenderly,
These scratches… did Chixuan cause them?

Lea nodded woefully. Putting on a piteous expression, as if he was a timid girl being bullied by his wicked mother-in-law, he said,
Mmm, it was Chixuan who scratched me, so painful.

Before Gu Mengmeng could respond, Lea’s expression changed as he glared maliciously at Cole.
But this debt should be borne by Mister Cole. After all, it was you who instigated our ignorant child.

Cole returned with an equally malicious and chilly smile.
It is naturally my debt to bear. After all, there are so many debts between you and I, that it doesn’t make a difference if we add another to it.

Lea didn’t get angry. His voice remained as calm and cool as the moonlight.
Now that I have returned, can this ‘let’s pretend to be Lea for a day’ game come to an end?

Cole shook his head.
I have already undone the bewitchment on Sandy and that counts as payment for this game. I will naturally play till the end of the day, if not I will feel cheated.

Lea replied,
Oh? A person whose disguise has already been exposed to all. Is there still any meaning to this?

Cole said,
So what if I have been been exposed. Perhaps Ah Gu wishes to have me stay on? After all… I have commanded Chixuan to pester you the entire day.

Gu Mengmeng instantly understood Cole’s meaning.
If she didn’t agree for Cole to stay on, he would punish Chixuan for not accomplishing his task?!
And that Chixuan was just so dead loyal to Cole. To accomplish his task, he attacked Lea without any hesitation, and even resorted to self-harm.
But…
He was her own son. For Gu Mengmeng to not bother about him… she could not bear to.
