Gu Mengmeng stared at Bode for a while with her thick, fluttering eyelashes, before realizing that he had no intention of continuing his sentence. She frowned and slapped Collin’s stomach, making a crisp sound when her smooth little hand got in contact with Collin’s well-defined abdominal muscles. Gu Mengmeng had wanted to intimidate Bode aggressively to make him spill the whereabouts of the bees, but she was numbed from fingers to forearm as she had underestimated the hardness of Collin’s muscles.
“Ouch…” Gu Mengmeng let out a cry, feeling as though she had lost her hand.
“Oh my, Gu Mengmeng, what happened to your hand? Was it painful? Sorry, sorry, it was all my fault…” Collin was filled with heartache, he held Gu Mengmeng’s hand carefully, but did not know what to do with it. “How about we ask Oakley to bring you back to Saint Nazaire and let Lea check your hand? You can leave the yellow sauce to Bode and me, we will definitely bring it back to you, alright?”
Why would Gu Mengmeng say yes to returning back? So she swung her numbed hands and said, “No it’s alright, I am fine.”
“But… Collin was worried for her, he wished that his eyes could turn into X-rays and inspect every cell in Gu Mengmeng’s hand beneath the skin.
“No ‘but’, listen to me.” Gu Mengmeng stood akimbo. So what if she had lost the aggressiveness? She need to pose even if she had screwed up!
“Gu…” Collin had wanted to say something, but Gu Mengmeng’s finger was pressing against his lips. With the charming little face inches away from him, Collin swallowed his saliva instinctively, but did not say further.
After Collin was settled, Gu Mengmeng then turned around and continue to threaten Bode, “If you know the rules, you should readily tell me where’s the cave of the yellow needle insects. If not, hehehe…”
Bode looked at Gu Mengmeng, whom was as weak as a cub, with the corner of his eye. Her forced wicked smile was not threatening at all on her sweet face, instead, it had made people feel that she was adorable. Although she could not be compared to his Sandy, she was well-deserving of the title of the most beautiful in Saint Nazaire. But this little creature… wanted to intimidate him? Too naive!
“Then what? Are you going to complain to Sandy again? Go ahead, Sandy will definitely not blame me on this. In fact, Sandy would be angry at me for actually bringing you to the cave of the yellow needle insects.” Bode crossed his arms and leaned on a tree at the side, clearly not taking Gu Mengmeng’s warning to heart.
Seeing that he was a tough one, Gu Mengmeng had no choice but to change her strategy. She shook her head in despair and sighed. “Alright, if you are so persistent, I will not pester you further. But Sandy was looking forward to my roasted meat with yellow sauce, now we have everything prepared except for the yellow sauce… Sigh, how disappointed will that foodie be if she could not eat the roasted meat with yellow sauce? Just thinking of her innocent eyes filling with tears, it would make anyone sad. But Bode, you can relax, even if you can’t satisfy Sandy’s little wish, I will not diss you in front of Sandy, the males in the tribe will also not make fun of you. Moreover, Sandy will not think that you do not love her because of you unwilling to do such a small thing for her.”
“You…” Bode finally understood that this was the undisguised threat to him! Damn, this was what ‘hehehe’ had meant?!
“It’s alright, you can relax.” Gu Mengmeng interrupted Bode and continued on her own, “No matter how disappointed and sad Sandy will be, she will at most ignore you for a dozen days. Even if some other males grabbed the opportunity to win her heart and become her most trusted partner, it will just be a lowering of the family status for you and being made fun of the most useless first partner without backbone. It’s all minor matters, am I right?”
