Chapter 417: Series Lived Long Enough To See
Will he... continue being like this? Acting like nothing is wrong, and that he can smile and get through everything when actually, Sauder is a scar on his heart. How could it not hurt?
“Sorry.” Gu ngng leaned on Lea’s shoulder and put her arms around his neck, whispering, “Let’s quickly deal with this hiring thing and return to Saint Nazaire. In the future, the beauty pageants shall be held in Saint Nazaire, and we shall never return to Sauder, alright?”
Lea’s body stiffened, raising his head with so difficulty and caressed the back of Gu ngng’s head. His voice sounded like flowing water, he said with slight pain, “The pain of the past is worth it, if it ans your heart will ache once for . Don’t worry, I am fine. I am no longer the person I was back then, the Ninth Highness that could be easily manipulated. Now... there are things that I would want to fight with my life.”
Gu ngng did not say anything. She rembered Elvis ntioning, Lea only had destruction in his eyes back in those days, and everything he did was to ruin Sauder.
However, now he is saying that everything he does is to protect so things with his life.
Her heart, contracted tightly.
Can she say she did not understand? Did not understand what he wanted to protect?
Gu ngng’s grip tightened subconsciously as she bit her bottom lip, replying in an extrely soft voice, “I’m sorry... Lea...”
Lea’s smile was so bitter, but he did not have the heart for Gu ngng to be upset. So, he took a deep breath, and faked a smile that looked bright and happy, replying in a flirtatious tone, “You know, I much rather prefer a confession over an apology. If you really treasure , how about you call “Daddy Lea”?”
Gu ngng did not say anything, only hugging Lea silently. The whole trip, she lay quietly in his arms, neither struggling nor making any noise.
Lea knew that Gu ngng was trying to comfort him.
He also knew that once they returned to the stone house, Gu ngng would return into Elvis’ arms once again and would not let him carry herself like this.
Unknowingly, he slowed down his footsteps. He had hoped that there was no end to this road.
Eventually, they still made their way back to the little stone house.
There were two people standing outside. Gu ngng was stunned, then rembered one of them was the first partner of Ellie, the half-orc from the Snake tribe. As to what his na was... Gu ngng had forgotten about it.
Waving his hands, Gu ngng smiled, “Hey, Official Xu Xian. What brings you here today? Don’t you have to serve the Bai Suzhen from your family?”
Ellie’s first partner pointed at his own nose, “Official Xu Xian?”
Gu ngng nodded sincerely, “That’s right, I wanted to tell you. There are three people that I respect the most in this lifeti. Dong Yong, who dared to sleep with the fairy, Ning Cai Chen, who dared to sleep with the ghost, and Xu Xian, who dared to sleep with the snake. Aiya, I did not expect myself to et a living one... Tsk tsk tsk, this is definitely part of the series that I have lived long enough to see.”
Lea knew that Gu ngng’s nonsensical actions were a signal, that... it was ti to let go.
Placing Gu ngng on the ground, Lea could not hide his loving gaze. Watching the last strand of hair leave his fingertips as she scurried off, that joyful back skipping towards Darch and patting his shoulder while smiling wretchedly, Lea could not help but raise the edge of his lips.
Although his arms were empty, but Lea felt sufficiently satisfied that he could watch her like this.
ngng had ntioned, the world is such a beautiful place, but you are so irritable. That is not good, not good...
