Chapter 996: My Son Is Such A Warm And Considerate Boy
Gu Mengmeng’s major crying fit had a strangely mollifying effect.
As if afraid of triggering another bout of fresh tears, Chixuan didn’t dare to make any false moves towards Gu Mengmeng. The moment he noticed her eyes turning red, he would immediately reach out his hand for her to hold.
Gu Mengmeng was thrilled at this development.
This son had not been close to her since being taken away by Cole. He would even purposely distance himself from her, avoiding her and refusing to acknowledge her.
But now, it appeared that she was just over-thinking things. Her son still cared for her.
If not, why would he be afraid of making her cry?
Knowing this, Gu Mengmeng’s mood improved a lot. She kept beaming at Chixuan and was the epitome of sunshine and happiness.
“Mengmeng, don’t just keep looking at Chixuan. Look at me too…” Lea flicked his tail in jealousy.
For the first time, Gu Mengmeng was immune to Lea’s tail. She pushed him aside and continued to grin at Chixuan. She poked Elvis and said, “Look at my son. So dashing—’Mother, don’t worry, I am fine’—goodness gracious me… how thoughtful… my son is such a warm and considerate boy.”
Gu Mengmeng repeated that sentence “Mother, don’t worry, I am fine” to herself over 37 times. She imitated Chixuan’s low, boyish voice each time, until Elvis’ ears were turning hard with calluses.
If not for the fact that he knew for sure Chixuan was their son, and would never have any other type of relationship with Gu Mengmeng—Elvis would have already killed him.
They should never have had any wolf pups. Why did he go seeking such troubles for himself!
Elvis was feeling very huffy but didn’t dare to say anything.
Sighing, he said, “Is it really alright to let Wabei leave just like that?”
Gu Mengmeng’s face darkened at the mention of Wabei. But she quickly looked up with a smile. “No matter. Little shit is not a petty person. At most… I will let him take a bite back.”
Elvis pointed at Chixuan. “Him? Is he even enough to fill Wabei’s mouth?”
The hackles on Gu Mengmeng rose. “What? Who dares to bite my son? I will kill him! I mean to bite me. Bite me back one time and we will be even.”
Elvis held his forehead. “Why don’t you just have me or Lea give him our wrists then.”
Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis. “It sounds rather devious to say this, but don’t worry, Wabei will not really bite me. After all…”
Gu Mengmeng rubbed the back of her own neck with a bitter smile.
She was enjoying all the benefits that Snake bestowed upon her. But now that there was something wrong with his mark, she wasn’t even going to take a look at him.
She was a bad woman after all. She was not worth Snake’s sacrifice.
But even so, in that other world, Snake was still doting on her.
Because of Gu Mengmeng’s good mood, the journey back was not so stifling anymore. They arrived at the stray beast camp by nightfall. Unable to withstand Gu Mengmeng’s shining and expectant eyes, Chixuan eventually decided to go back with her to their temporary cave for the night, and also meet his brothers.
No one cared where Cole went. But after going their separate ways, he watched after Gu Mengmeng’s back profile with a dark smile, until she disappeared completely from his sight. Only then did Cole lower his head and start laughing uncontrollably until tears were rolling down his cheeks. That laughter sounded especially eerie in the dead night. After a long while, when Cole finally couldn’t laugh anymore, he smirked and said ominously, “Ah Gu, don’t disappoint me. I… I am waiting for you to come to me begging.”
