Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 1479

Chapter 1479: Our Daughter?

After some thinking, Gu Mengmeng reached out her hand and gestured with her fingers, saying, “There was once a female deity who was filled with curiosity about the mortal world, so she secretly descended to the mortal world to explore the place. In the mortal world, she and a man… a male fell in love. The deity’s mother was enraged when she found out, most likely because she felt that it was not worth it that her 24 karat pure gold precious daughter who had been raised at home was so easily tricked by a wild beast that came from an unknown source. So she brought the deity back to the heaven and did not allow them to meet.”

Gregory nodded and said, “If our daughter fell in love with a wild beast, I would also not be happy about it.”

Gu Mengmeng, “…”

Wild beast was only a metaphor, alright? Moreover where did ‘our daughter’ come from? She had already said that she would not become partners with him…

Seeing Gu Mengmeng’s face turn unpleasant, Gregory immediately tried to salvage the situation and said, “Of course, if you allow, I won’t stop it. But… best to not be the first partner. The females from the Birds tribe should at least find the first partner from the tribe…”

The more Gregory said, the more it seemed real, and his expression was so serious. Gu Mengmeng was speechless for a moment and did not even bother to rebuke him.

Seeing that Gu Mengmeng no longer said anything, Gregory thought that she had agreed to it and was delighted. Not because he was happy about the power over deciding his daughter’s partner but because he could discuss about ‘their children’ with her and just this fact alone made him feel blessed.

Even though he was even more clear than Gu Mengmeng that they would not have a child together.

“Then? What happened afterwards?” Gregory asked with a smile. He wanted to hear Gu Mengmeng speak more to him.

Gu Mengmeng, “After the deity’s mother brought the deity back to heaven, the deity cried incessantly. The cowherd on the ground also missed his wife a lot but he had no way. Then, a cow in his family became a spirit and told him that using its skin to wrap himself would allow him to meet the weaving deity. The cowherd did as he was told and carried his son and daughter in a shoulder pole to meet the weaving deity in the heaven. When the Heavenly Mother knew about this, she was infuriated so she used her hairpin to form a milky way between the cowherd and weaving deity… And that was the milky way where all the stars gathered. It had no edges and boundaries and it could not be transcended.”

“Then, a group of magpies could not watch it and felt that this mother-in-law was too difficult to please. Even though the cowherd was not rich, he still had a house, land and cow. Moreover, they already had children so it was not kind of her to forcefully separate them. So they formed a magpie bridge so that every year on the seventh month seventh day, the cowherd and weaving deity could transcend the milky way to meet.”

When Gu Mengmeng finished, she laughed softly, “Actually I think this story is quite tragic but I don’t know why many people say it is romantic. Every year during the seventh evening of the seventh month, everyone would celebrate and all the couples around the world would show off their affections… Up till now I could not understand what is worth celebrating when a couple could only once a year.”

Gregory laughed and said, “Alright, the story is over. Quickly get some sleep, you still have to get the Love of the Sky tomorrow.”

Gu Mengmeng thought for a while, then nodded and said, “Hopefully everything would turn out fine.”

Gregory did not respond and ony hugged Gu Mengmeng as he lay by the fire. He lightly patted her back with a rhythm until her steady breathing could be heard. Then, he left a kiss on her forehead and using a calm and certain tone, said, “It will be fine, definitely will be.”
