Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 881

Chapter 881: Reunion

Elvis drew Gu Mengmeng into his arms and kissed the top of her head, as if by not seeing her for just one afternoon, he already missed her to bits.

After nuzzling for awhile, Elvis finally relaxed his hold on Gu Mengmeng and carried her into the stone castle.

Kanwu hung onto Gu Mengmeng to tell her all about how brave he was today, while Jialue kept pointing out how he was just exaggerating. This incited Kanwu so much that he jumped at Jialue. In the end, Hede had to intervene to make peace when the fight got too out of control. Meanwhile… Chixuan remained by the side as if he was a guest. He did not join in but just observed quietly.

After Lea prepared the food, the whole family sat down together for their first meal of the year.

Gu Mengmeng finally understood why the elderly held the word “reunion” in such high regard.

She had been in the Beast World for a year and she didn’t know whether her own parents had even realized that this superfluous daughter of theirs was missing.

If so, would they be worried for her? Would they try to investigate into her whereabouts?

Or…

Would they be thankful that this superfluous existence of hers had perished in the wide world and they no longer had to worry about her suddenly popping up and becoming a burden to them.

“Mother.” Kanwu put down his bowl and chopsticks, and leaned in close to Gu Mengmeng. He pouted sulkily. “Can I bring some food to Master Burke?”

Gu Mengmeng was stunned…

Burke?

Didn’t he…

She glanced at Lea who just smiled back helplessly. “That time was just an act, how could I have really killed Burke? If I did, Kanwu will never play with me again, right?”

“So…” Gu Mengmeng asked.

Lea shrugged. “Although we didn’t make any prior arrangements with him, he is a rather smart chap. He immediately understood what was happening the moment I appeared, and played out the fight scene with me… however, he was not my match and fainted from my attack… I had been a bit too heavy-handed and his injuries were quite serious, but not fatal. Afterwards, Auretin and the rest sent him back to Sauder to recover.”

“Why didn’t you tell me then?” Gu Mengmeng had always thought Burke was really killed by Lea that day.

Lea put on an innocent expression. “Why should I mention about someone so insignificant?”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled. Lea was such a green-eyed monster, unwilling to even mention the name of another male before her. Mmm… she was already used to it.

Without pursuing further, Gu Mengmeng held up a large stone bowl and piled it with food. She handed it to Kanwu. “Go on.”

Kanwu grinned from ear to ear. He called to Hede and Jialue, and they ran off.

Although Burke was Kanwu’s Master, in reality, he had also been a teacher to Hede and Jialue in the ways of hunting and camouflage. So the three young ones were extremely close to Burke.

Chixuan’s eyes held traces of envy, but he knew that he could not ask Gu Mengmeng for some food to bring to a certain someone who was important to him.

They would probably choose to throw away that food, rather than give it to that person.

Ha, he had really put himself in a tight spot.

Chixuan just gave a crooked smile and remained silent.

Given Gu Mengmeng’s high perceptiveness, she naturally noticed Chixuan’s peculiar expression when Kanwu said he wanted to bring some food for Burke.

Honestly, she would indeed throw away the food rather than let Cole take a single bite.

But for the sake of her son…

“Chixuan, you should also take some back for your friend to eat.”
