“Why?” Gu Mengmeng’s smile froze on her face. Lea had not opened his mouth to explain when her tears let her down by falling uncontrollably.

Gu Mengmeng ignored the soreness in her eyes and also did not want to analyze what exactly was the reason why her heart was feeling so suffocated. She just wanted to use the brightest smile to call Lea back.

But Lea stood rooted to the spot, not moving a single inch. A refined and cultured smile was still hanging on his face as he replied Gu Mengmeng, “It’s going to be winter soon…”

Gu Mengmeng did not understand what Lea meant as she just speedily wiped the tears in her eyes away and stared at Lea with her fullest concentration, waiting for him to continue.

Lea’s sight swept across Gu Mengmeng to look at a faraway place and he continued with disappointment, “I have already matured into adulthood for quite some time. If I don’t mate anytime soon, I’ll miss the opportunity to bear the strongest cubs.”

Gu Mengmeng’s brain exploded with a boom while steam was rising with the momentum of an avalanche inside her. A thought kept surfacing in her mind: Lea left her because she did not want to mate with him…

Yeah, from the beginning, she just planned to date Lea. When Lea confessed to her, she even told Lea clearly that she would not mate with him and just date him so as to reduce the mental load on her.

She could be bold and straightforward while forcibly seizing Lea’s good qualities and then tell herself that this was a mutually consented thing…

But now, Lea was unwilling to consent to it.

Gu Mengmeng’s whole body was shaking but she could not say a single word as she just stared at Lea while clenching her fists and letting tears pour out from her eyes like a beautiful stream.

She did not know what she was expecting, and she knew that she looked like a good-for-nothing. However, she could neither turn away in an elegant and unconventional manner nor could she say anything to persuade him to stay.

Lea did not give Gu Mengmeng much time to tidy up her emotions and continued saying as if Gu Mengmeng was someone who did not have much to do with him, “Nina agreed that her mating authority will belong to me until she bears my strong cubs. So, I’ve to stay by her side to nurse her body well.”

“That’s right,” Nina raised her head proudly. She did not once felt this carefree before so she took a small step forward and said, “So what if you’re the First Beauty of Saint Nazaire? You’re pulling onto two such outstanding males, Lea and Elvis, but you’re unwilling to mate with them and you’re just expending their labor for no reason at all? So selfish of you! I’m different and I can give Lea a nest and even a few nests of cubs. With Lea’s strong genes and my perfect genes, our babies will definitely be kings in the future.”

Gu Mengmeng went forward in quick steps and raised her hand, preparing to hit Nina. But just when her hand was only raised halfway, her wrist was clutched tightly by someone.

Nina hid behind Lea, resembling a frightened bird while smirking delightfully at Gu Mengmeng. She did not say a single word and just hugged onto Lea’s waist tightly, seeking for protection. At the same time, Lea clutched Gu Mengmeng’s wrist with one hand and patted Nina’s back with his other hand. When he met eyes with Gu Mengmeng’s doubtful gaze, his holy and seductive smile was still refined but did not encompass the warmth he had when he looked at her previously.

Lea’s voice was cold and peaceful, just like an ancient well-water that was piercingly cold, “Nina’s my female. Nobody can touch her, including you.”

Gu Mengmeng tried to retract her wrist but Lea did not let go. She could feel the sharp anguish from her wrist.

This was Lea’s warning, if she dared to land a finger on Nina again, would he break her hand?

Ha, Sandy’s words really came true, Lea really acted rough on her.
