Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Chapter 927: Everyone Said You Had Died.

Gu Mengmeng suddenly felt that she truly couldn’t understand Oakley.

He had always acted like she was his enemy, and behaved as if no one could stop him and Cole from taking over the Beast World together. This made Gu Mengmeng feel extremely cold towards him.

But she was very sure that Oakley’s bloodshot eyes and worried expression—those were not an act.

There was no way such details could be faked.

It could be said she had benefited from Wang Xiaoxin.

Because of that professional knowledge, Gu Mengmeng was rather well-versed in the intricacies of the human expression.

The chances were low that anyone could successfully tell a lie before her now.

She did not know what Oakley’s intentions were but she knew this friend still cared about her.

This point made Gu Mengmeng feel very happy.

Smiling, Gu Mengmeng replied, “I am fine. It was just a minor nosebleed. Elvis and Lea were overly-anxious and created a mass panic. Ask everyone to head back. Everything is fine.”

“Yes.” Oakley glanced at Gu Mengmeng again before turning away without hesitation. Any care and concern had been firmly hidden back in his heart.

He did not dare to reveal even the slightest bit of concern for her?

He...

He couldn’t be guarding against Lea and Elvis, so he could only be guarding against Cole.

Didn’t he ally himself with Cole?

He... was he scheming to deceive Cole in something?

What did it have to do with her?

Gu Mengmeng did not understand at all, but knew it was not a good time now to probe further.

Cole was too smart, especially in the matters of manipulation. No matter what Oakley was planning, the success rate was probably not too high.

At this time, the least she could do was not to interfere with his plans.

So Gu Mengmeng kept her mouth shut and didn’t call Oakley, but let him leave her line of sight as he went to usher the rest back to town.

Returning to the stone castle, the three little ones and Burke were waiting by the doorway. Spotting her in the distance, the three children immediately dashed towards her.

“Mother, what happened? Why did everyone say you had died...”

Died...?

Gu Mengmeng held her forehead. She had really seen it all when it came to ridiculous rumors.

Just a nosebleed and they said she was dying. Why didn’t they just say she had been blown up on the spot?

Gu Mengmeng jumped down from Elvis’ arms and embraced her three sons. She said in a comforting voice, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. I have your father and Lea to protect me, how could I have died?”

Hede patted Kanwu. “That’s right. Moreover, mother is the Messenger of the Beast Deity and she said she has someone up there protecting her too.”

Gu Mengmeng was tickled by Hede’s adult-like mannerisms. “That’s right, mummy does have someone up there.”

Kanwu calmed down on seeing Gu Mengmeng well. He then mocked Hede. “Ha, I wonder who acted like he was struck by lightning just now, until oil was dripping down from his eyes.”

Did that mean... Hede cried earlier?

Hede turned red. “Don’t spout nonsense. I didn’t.”

Jialue shook his head. He retrieved a piece of animal hide from the house and gave it to Gu Mengmeng. “Mother, you are drenched. Wrap yourself with this skin first, don’t fall sick.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded. She took the skinned fur her from son and wrapped it around her shoulders. She then kissed Jialue’s head. “My Jialue is really considerate.”

Jialue smiled before turning towards Cole. “Daddy Lea, why aren’t you heating up the water? My mother is nearly frozen from the cold.”

Cole was startled, before a smile bloomed on his face. “Alright, I will go heat up the water.”
