Chapter 1039: Mother-in-law Thinks You Are Cute
Sandy gave birth to three little leopards, all about the same size as Hede and his brothers when they were just born. But Sandy was not as strong as Gu Mengmeng, and so had to exert more energy.
But Sandy was a beast and had much more powerful recuperation abilities.
Hence, after Gu Mengmeng settled the exhausted Sandy and brought Collin, whose hands were full of bloody bite marks, out of the house—Elvis and Lea were both looking at her with secret smiles.
Gu Mengmeng was also fatigued. Sandy was the one who had given birth, so why did she feel as if she had also gone through a strenuous exercise?
She slumped into Elvis’ arms and pointed at Collin. “Lea, administer some medicine to him. He ended up being the fall guy….”
Lea was well-prepared and calmly administered some medicine to Collin’s wounds. He then teased. “Elvis and I heard from the door… if you were not female, I would have thought you are the father of Sandy’s children.”
Gu Mengmeng leaned into Elvis’ embrace listlessly. Having helped Sandy deliver her children, she somehow felt more exhausted than the time when she had given birth herself.
Pointing at Collin, she said, “It’s all because Sandy’s males are all useless. They only know how to panic when faced with any situation… tsk.”
Collin was the most powerful male in Sandy’s household. Shamed by Gu Mengmeng’s rebuke, he nevertheless did not have the guts to retort. He just lowered his head and said, “I will try to do better next time…”
Gu Mengmeng waved. “It is useless to try correcting an inherent weakness. Go back and tell Bode not to just take care of the babies. Arrange for someone to take good care of Sandy too. If my Sandy experiences the slightest bit of suffering, I will break his four paws.”
Collin shrank back and acknowledged her command.
Lea bandaged Collin, before following Gu Mengmeng back to the stone castle. After her long day at Sandy’s, Gu Mengmeng was utterly drained and instantly fell asleep the moment her head touched the bed.
Early morning on the next day, Collin came over to invite Gu Mengmeng over. He said that Sandy was looking for her.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t ask why and just went over after washing her face.
The three leopard cubs gurgled in Sandy’s arms, who exuded a maternal glow. As she had often helped Gu Mengmeng look after her four little ones, she was already very familiar on how to take care of her own children.
On seeing Gu Mengmeng’s arrival, Sandy raised one hand. “Gu Mengmeng, come over quick.”
Gu Mengmeng took up Sandy’s hand as she sat beside her. She reached out to stroke the leopard cubs, her lips curling up subconsciously. She then turned around to stare forlornly at Hede and Jialue. “My sons also used to be so adorable.”
Hede took her comment in his stride, and just shook his head helplessly.
Jialue smirked and sprawled across Gu Mengmeng’s knee. “Mother, are you abandoning me then?”
Gu Mengmeng sighed and pushed him. “You can’t act cute anymore now. Your uncles are cuter than you.”
Jialue clutched the area over his heart as if he was struck by an arrow. He fell backwards on the ground. “Mother, you are so hurtful to me.”
Sandy laughed at Jialue’s antics. “Don’t be sad. Mother-in-law still thinks you are cute. You are very cute.”
Jialue immediately stood up and smiled at Sandy. “I always knew that mother-in-law treats me the best.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed but didn’t say anything.
Sandy looked at Gu Mengmeng. “Do you remember your earlier promise to me?”
