Having realized he had answered too quickly, Burke cleared his throat and lowered his head . He dared not look Gu Mengmeng in the eye . With blushing red ears, he hastily added, “I am worried that you cannot bear to watch them…”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled . “Children have to grow up, eventually . I am willing to do anything for them, but cannot take their place in growing up . ”

Gu Mengmeng tilted her head with a smile . Burke only caught a glimpse of it but already felt as if his heart was blooming with countless flowers . It was as if the entire world was an illusion and that smiling face was all he saw .

Burke was finally led away by the three youngsters as he stumbled after them like a lost soul .

Feeling sour, Lea held Gu Mengmeng in his embrace and propped his chin on top of her head . He gazed toward the departing Burke, and said unhappily, “How long has it been since you spoke to me so gently? Huh? This Burke… tsk, it’s better to kill him . ”

Gu Mengmeng pinched Lea . “”He is just a pawn being used . Embroiled into the conflict between Cole and us . He is already very pitiful . Anyway, he is Kanwu’s teacher after all . ”

“Humph . ” Lea harrumphed loudly .

He reached out to pull up Gu Mengmeng but was intercepted by Elvis .

Looking at Gu Mengmeng being held in Elvis’s arms, Lea felt an uncontrollable sense of frustration . He charged at Elvis with bared teeth and a rage-filled expression .

Gu Mengmeng was shocked . Apart from the time when he was heavily injured and Lea took over the duty of becoming her legs, Elvis had always been the one carrying her around . Lea had never been upset by that, so why now…?

Elvis looked exceptionally stern . He held Lea’s head with one massive hand and frowned angrily . “Are you challenging my authority as the first partner?”

Lea was stunned as he stared into Elvis’ eyes . He froze and only managed to compose himself after some time . He pushed off Elvis’ hand and rubbed his temples . “I am sorry, I was wrong . ”

Elvis wiped off the anger and murderous rage on his face . He didn’t say another word and just carried Gu Mengmeng off . Lea didn’t follow them .

After moving a distance, Gu Mengmeng saw that Elvis still looked very grim . “Are you still angry?”

Elvis shook his head . “I am not angry, but just worried . Lea’s behavior… is not normal . ”

Gu Mengmeng recalled Lea’s vicious expression earlier and nodded . “Perhaps he has been overly distressed regarding the situation with Cole . The stress of it caused him to lose control of his emotions . Don’t take it to heart . ”

Elvis sighed . “I hope so . But Xiao Meng, there is something you should know . ”

“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng responded with a single syllabus .

Elvis said, “In a family, the authority of the first partner is absolute . Only then can he provide the best living environment for the female . Although our family has two males, me and Lea, the same rules apply . I can accept your love for Lea but I cannot allow him to challenge my authority as the first partner . If this happens again… I will not let him go so easily . ”

In reality, Gu Mengmeng didn’t really understand all that about authority within a family .

Wouldn’t it be better for a family to discuss things amiably whenever a situation arises?

But earlier on, she was very sure… if Lea had not apologized, Elvis would have really killed him .
