Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng as they made their way back, and the white mist followed them as it continued being sucked into the Soul of the Forest.

By the time they reached the halfway mark, visibility had become much higher and they could at least see each other’s hazy silhouette.

Only then did Cole speak, “Ah Gu, do you intend to accept that fish?”

Gu Mengmeng frowned. At the same time, she could feel strong murderous vibes emanating from Elvis and Lea.

She had already explained to them about Fei Rui and they had believed her “for the moment”. But it was still a sore topic. Those two would be bothered by this issue as long as she hadn’t sent Fei Rui back to the ocean.

But Gu Mengmeng only had herself to blame for blurting out such a lousy reason to deflect Dora…

Speaking of Dora… Gu Mengmeng’s expression darkened as she looked at Cole.

There weren’t too many people around when she claimed that she wanted to accept Fei Rui. Apart from the group with her now, only Dora, Leonard and the witch doctor Nick was present.

So, how did Cole know of this matter?

Gu Mengmeng furrowed her brows as she linked this thought to Leonard suffering from the counter-damage of his mating contract. But she pursed her lips and didn’t say a word.

Cole gave a low laugh, as if trying to suppress his amusement. He looked up with eyes that looked just like Lea’s. Obscured by the white mist, his expression was ambiguous while his voice was laced with a glee that made the others around him feel very uncomfortable. “I find that you look really good when you are focusing your thoughts on me.”

Gu Mengmeng snorted with disdain. She remained silent and just turned away.

She felt very rather aggrieved as Cole was right in a way. She had indeed been “thinking” about him.

Cole’s smile deepened as he observed her reaction—which he had, in his twisted mind, taken for bashfulness rather than the disgust that it was. “Ha, alright. I won’t tease you. If you wish to know, I will tell you.”

Gu Mengmeng had no interest. Actually, she could already more or less guess what happened. The truth of the matter couldn’t be much different from her own surmise.

The most important thing was she didn’t wish to hear Cole speak.

Just his mouth made her recoil in disgust.

But Cole didn’t wish to let go of this opportunity to make himself felt in Gu Mengmeng’s presence. He forged on as if talking to himself. “You should have realized this long ago? That fool Dora, how could she possibly have the brains to devise such a good plan. It was I who taught her to frame Melinda.”

With that, Cole paused before laughing scornfully. “But she was very good at instigating others. I had just casually offered her a few pointers, and she carried everything out perfectly. She instigated Carter to snatch the Mermaid Tribe’s territory and injure Fei Rui… ha, she still thought that when Fei Rui lost everything and had nowhere else to go, he would become hers.”

As expected, Cole had a hand in this matter.

Coincidence? No way.

Gu Mengmeng had actually not linked this to Cole at the beginning. But after he admitted to everything, Gu Mengmeng found that she was totally unsurprised.

How to explain? It was like the idea of him being linked to everything bad that happened in this world was not at all far-fetched.

In Gu Mengmeng’s mind, the name Cole was already synonymous with the root of all evil.

Lifting her eyes, Gu Mengmeng asked in a cold voice, “Since she was such a useful pawn, why kill her?”

The white mist had dispelled quite a bit. Cole was also standing rather near Gu Mengmeng, and she could clearly see his expression.

His dark, almond eyes held a trace of affection that looked rather creepy. “You like Fei Rui, right? How could I permit others to covet something which you like?”
