Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Chapter 1007: Let’s Discuss The Terms

Gu Mengmeng felt as if her heart had dropped into her stomach. She then gradually relaxed and stood up from Elvis’ arms. She slowly walked over to Chixuan’s side. She didn’t say a word, but just quietly accompanied him.

They sat all the way until deep into night, and the moon was glowing in the sky.

Chixuan stood up. He didn’t say anything but just circled past Gu Mengmeng and returned to the cave. He laid down on the bed in the exact same position and closed his eyes, obviously going back to sleep.

Gu Mengmeng also wanted to stand up but her legs had gone numb after sitting for so long.

Her whole body tilted to the side as she tried to get up. Fortunately, Elvis had fast reflexes and immediately caught her securely in his arms.

“Don’t worry. Things will get better.”

Now that things have reached this stage, Gu Mengmeng had no choice but to believe Elvis.

For the next ten days, Chixuan got up every morning to sit at the door without moving the entire day. Hede and the other two brothers would bring food to him. Chixuan would eat whatever that was placed before him, but if no one brought food to him, he would just go without eating anything. Then he would continue sitting until midnight, before returning to his bed to sleep. He ignored everyone and didn’t speak a single word.

Gu Mengmeng was dismayed but had no solution. So as to not let Gu Mengmeng worry, Elvis and Lea tried all sorts of gentle persuasion and hard threats on Chixuan behind her back. But that fellow was completely unmoved. Whether it was Elvis’ display of physical dominance or Lea’s crafty tongue—nothing could make Chixuan say a single word. He didn’t even exhibit the slightest hint of expression.

Until the day Cole came.

It was by Gu Mengmeng’s tacit consent that he was able to come.

Otherwise, he would never be able to bypass Wabei.

Cole stood before Chixuan. He glanced at him and said in a mild tone, “Little Xuan.”

Chixuan lifted his head in a daze and met Cole’s gaze with empty eyes. His expression remained wooden, but his brows furrowed slightly.

He slowly got up and walked over to face Cole. After a long time, he turned back to the cave and wordlessly laid down on the bed to sleep.

Cole stood at the door and looked at Gu Mengmeng. He chuckled. “Ah Gu, I waited 10 days for you. Why didn’t you come see me?”

Gu Mengmeng frowned and kept silent. She just sat beside Chixuan. She held Chixuan’s hand and quietly watched her sleeping son.

Cole gave a light laugh. “Now that Chixuan has already returned to your side, I no longer have anything to threaten you with. You... don’t wish to kill me?”

Gu Mengmeng slowly set down Chixuan’s hand and gently stroked his hair before standing up to walk out of the cave.

Because of their height difference, she had to look up at Cole. She looked extremely haggard after the worries of the past 10 days, and Cole’s brows involuntarily furrowed when he saw her face.

“Do you have a way?” Although it was a question, Gu Mengmeng’s tone implied “let’s discuss the terms. Help me save Chixuan and I will do one thing for you.”

“Anything?” Cole asked, insinuating that not only could he save Chixuan, he had also already decided on the favor.

Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath. “As long as it doesn’t involve harming my partners, family and friends. Anything else is okay.”

Cole’s laughter held a confidence that showed this was just as he expected. He seemed to have already predicted that this scenario would happen. “What about harming yourself, will that be okay?”
