Chapter 991: Ah Gu, Are You Inviting Me To Come Along?

Gu Mengmeng saw that Cole was going to lead Chixuan away and she held on. “Chixuan, it’s been a long while since mummy last saw you. Stay with me for a few days, alright? Just a few days…”

Chixuan kept quiet and just looked at Cole while twisting his lips.

Cole smiled wordlessly, with a “make your own decision” att.i.tude.

Gu Mengmeng ignored Cole and just went to stand in front of Chixuan. Her eyes were filled with a pathetic pleading. “Your brothers are also here in the stray beast camp. They have just evolved into first-level beasts. You have not seen their evolved form, right? Go visit them to take a look?”

Chixuan maintained his silence as he once again looked at Cole.

Gu Mengmeng bit her lips. She never imagined there would be a day when she had to plead with a man to keep her son by her side. And that man wasn’t even the father of her child.

She had never been in such a pathetic state in her romantic relations.h.i.+ps. All that was reserved for her son.

Gu Mengmeng swiveled around but with her hand still tightly clasped around Chixuan’s wrist, as if afraid that he would run away the moment she turned.

Gu Mengmeng bit her lips as she looked at Cole. “I want Chixuan to stay with me for a few days.”

“Please.” Cole clasped his hands behind his back in a nonchalant manner. But his smile was cunning and cold, with just a trace of provocation.

It indicated that as long he didn’t say “okay”, Chixuan would never agree.

Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath. “Isn’t the stray beast camp your territory? Since you are already here, why not head over to take a look?”

Cole chuckled. He fingered a few stray wisps of hair in front of Gu Mengmeng’s forehead. “Ah Gu, are you inviting me to come along?”

Gu Mengmeng suppressed her sense of revulsion and glared at Cole with gritted teeth.

Cole appeared oblivious to the disgust in her eyes and nodded cheerfully. “Since Ah Gu invited me, how can I reject? I will accompany you wherever you go.”

Gu Mengmeng flicked her head to pull back her own hair before turning to look expectantly at Chixuan.

Chixuan said in the softest voice, “I will go wherever he goes.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded and hugged Chixuan.

Now that Chixuan was as tall as an adult male, Gu Mengmeng could no longer hold him like a child. She was only as tall as his chest and could only circle his waist. Even so, her maternal embrace was full of tenderness, warming Chixuan’s heart.

Gu Mengmeng didn’t let Elvis carry her, but insisted on holding onto Chixuan’s hand, refusing to let go for even a moment.

Elvis’ heart ached for the fact that she had to walk on these rocky mountain roads. Although she was wearing a pair of animal hide shoes, the soles were too thin. Her feet were so soft and delicate that she would get blisters if she walked more than 500 meters. If she were to make it all the way back to the stray beast camp, her feet would be ground to the bone.

Hence Elvis morphed into his beast form and carried Gu Mengmeng on his back. He did not mind that most mounts in the Beast World were just beast pets who had no chance of ever becoming a partner. It was the lowest and most contemptuous position in the family.

But he didn’t care how others viewed him. He was good with it as long as his Xiao Meng didn’t suffer.

Because of Cole’s presence, there was much less conversation and laughter on the way back. Peter was worried about Natalie and so went ahead first, sprinting back to the stray beast camp in beast mode. Wabei kept throwing bored looks at Gu Mengmeng. He tried to provoke her multiple times, but Gu Mengmeng had no eyes for anyone now except Chixuan. She didn’t even bother to reprimand him. It was very boring.
