Elvis and Lea were so shocked they could not say a word. Regardless of whether it’s Gu Mengmeng’s Father abandoning his wife and daughter to marry another female or whether it’s her Mother abandoning her after remarrying, both were things they had neither heard of nor imagined.

Holding his hand tightly into a fist, Elvis felt that it was hard to breathe from the lack of air. He clenched his teeth together and asked in disbelief, “You’re a precious female…how can they…”

The word ‘abandon’ was too heavy, no matter what, Elvis could never use this type of word on Gu Mengmeng.

Gu Mengmeng gave a bitter smile and said, “In our world, females are not as precious as how they are here. On the contrary, in many less-developed places, people will throw their newly born daughters into the rubbish bin or abort their female fetus at those unlicensed clinics after confirming the gender of their babies through the B scanner…”

Gu Mengmeng could feel Elvis’s body shaking. That was a type of struggle between anger and heartache. She knew that her man was being sad over her past.

Lifting her head up, Gu Mengmeng smiled and continued, “I’m still considered good, at least my Mother raised me until I was 14. I was able to earn some living expenses by performing at the theater in the theme park. During winter and summer breaks, I earned my own school fees by working an hourly part-time job at Mcdonalds. After I turned 18, life was easier to live because I had a full-term scholarship. Lodging at school and food at the canteen was also a lot cheaper than outside so…university life is the most relaxing and satisfactory period in my entire life. I originally wanted to learn from others and date someone in the most wonderful time of my life but sadly, I didn’t get to even confess when I transmigrated here.”

Elvis and Lea could not understand many words from what Gu Mengmeng had said, but they were both very clear that Gu Mengmeng was hiding a type of loneliness in her eyes.

This type of loneliness was what Elvis and Lea saw in each other’s eyes when they first met.

However, besides loneliness, hate could be seen in their eyes as well.

While in Gu Mengmeng’s eyes, there was hope reflecting together with that light sense of loneliness.

She stared at Elvis with those clear eyes and smiled sweetly. “I’m still a very lucky person to be able to come here and meet you. You gave me a peaceful life and emotional comfort that I never experienced before. You made me believe that…my life is starting to improve.”

“Xiao Meng.” Elvis did not know what kind of words he should use to comfort Gu Mengmeng. After deliberating for a long while, he could only say those three words, “I love you.”

Gu Mengmeng smiled and replied him, “I love you too.”

Lea, on the other hand, finally realized why Gu Mengmeng did not want to forgive him or accept him all this while.

From her perspective, he…abandoned her, right?

No matter how many excuses he gave, his behavior was considered being a form of abandonment…right?

Lea lowered his head and pressed his chest tightly while clenching his teeth, not bringing himself to look at Gu Mengmeng properly.

Once, he had the right to protect her, comfort her and care for her.

But now…

What position is he in for…his heart to ache? What position is he in for…him to regret? What position is he in for….him to tell her ‘please forgive me’?

Gu Mengmeng breathed in deeply before smiling. “Alright, why do you have to make the atmosphere so stifling? If all the hardship I went through in the first half of my life was to gather all my luck to exchange for an opportunity to meet you, I think it’s still quite worth it.”
