Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Following the set-up in Sauder, Burke opened a meeting room in Zacharias too. It was not a room made out of stone because he could only find a slightly more spacious cave. He found an enormous stone and carved it into a stone chair with his claws before laying a piece of tiger skin over it.

How should she put this…

It looked like a counterfeit copy of Sauder’s meeting room.

Although it did not meet Gu Mengmeng’s expectations, she did not nitpicked at it too much.

Turning to sit on the chair, she asked Burke, “The tribesmen here don’t look like they are easy to appease. Are you…..coping well?”

Burke nodded and smiled, saying, “With Kanwu’s and Chixuan’s help, the problem isn’t very serious.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded and did not say anything else.

She always felt awkward with Burke, it’s a feeling of clearly knowing that he liked you but he tried his best to hide it and not expose any tiny hint so you did not even have the chance to reject him and could only act dumb and pretend not to know.

Sigh…

The person putting on a pretense must be very tired but the person who was forced to follow his act must be equally tired.

Seeing how Gu Mengmeng was not saying anything, Burke appeared quite serious and solemn. He faked coughed to conceal his heart’s crazy palpitation and then said with a glistering gaze, “The kid whom Kanwu was battling today is Leonard’s younger brother, Victor, he….”

Gu Mengmeng laughed and interrupted Burke, “Why? Are you scared that I’ll hold a grudge and seek revenge?”

Burke hesitated for a moment before nodding his head lightly, saying, “I made a promise after entering this tribe, I promised that I’ll protect them with all my might so….”

Gu Mengmeng shook her hands and assured him, “Don’t worry, I don’t have any intention to pursue this matter further. After all, I’ve hit him back after he hit our little cub. He scolded our child so I slapped one tooth off him. I’ve sought revenge for whatever he did, all grudges are cleared.”

Burke nodded and then asked, “Then…are you going to visit Natalie?”

Gu Mengmeng nodded before standing up, saying, “I’ll ask these two rascals to accompany me there, you can continue whatever you were doing.”

Burke pursed his lips and nodded, replying one word, “Okay.”

Kanwu led Gu Mengmeng and the rest towards Natalie’s house. Chixuan, on the other hand, stayed behind. After ensuring that Gu Mengmeng had walked faraway, he elbowed Burke and said, “You waited for my Mum to come until your eyes were almost worn out. Now that she’s here, why don’t you have the courage to look her in the eye?”

Burke gave a bitter smile and confessed, “I’m scared to see her smile at me, I can neither possess her not can I forget her…”

Chixuan smiled, shaking his head as he patted Burke’s shoulder and chased up to Gu Mengmeng.

Natalie’s cave was situated at a more secluded spot, she said that she wanted to live in a quieter place and not be disturbed. However, Gu Mengmeng knew that 80% of her actions must be because the old tribesmen from Zacharias still had some objection towards Peter’s old identity as a stray beast so they were being ostracized.

Gu Mengmeng raised the suggestion of bringing Natalie back to Saint Nazaire with them but Natalie rejected her and said that she liked her current life. She was very satisfied to be able to stay together with her loved ones and take care of Kanwu and Chixuan for Elvis. As for what other people were saying about her, she did not have much thoughts over it.

Gu Mengmeng truly admired Natalie’s sacrifice. If it was her, she definitely would not be able to stand being pinpointed by people all day.

After visiting Natalie, Gu Mengmeng had no intention to stay behind so she set off to Saint Nazaire.

After all, nobody knew what happened after Oakley arranged Auretin and Barete to return back directly. Gu Mengmeng felt that their obedience was strange and she could not put her heart at ease.
