Lea's expression darkened. He looked at Gu Mengmeng and asked, "So you will weep and curse not because you are upset over losing me, but because you feel unhappy for losing out to Nina? Is that right?"
Gu Mengmeng was lost for a second as she had trouble catching up to Lea's line of thinking.
She finally understood after a moment's thought. Her analogy had touched upon an old sore spot of Lea's.
Hence she hastily tried to soothe him. "I was just narrating an example. I don't mean it that way."
Lea refused to believe. He frowned as his slanted eyes filled with desolation. It was as if the words "I am upset" was written clearly across his face.
Gu Mengmeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How long had it been since that incident?
Sigh…
The speaker might have no particular intentions, but the listener was free to read into the words any way he wanted.
