Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO (Web Novel)
chapter-284

Elvis smiled and said, “Idiot, the females in the Beast World are only in charge of breastfeeding, the males will do all the rest.”

Gu Mengmeng was overjoyed, her curved eyebrows shoot up and she asked, “So, you are the one taking care of the children? Not me?”

Elvis nodded and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

“But you have to look after the children and take care of me during confinement at the same time, won’t that be too tiring for you?” Although Gu Mengmeng never had children before, she had experience of looking after them and she knew the horror of naughty children by heart.

“Confinement?” Elvis spotted the key point.

“Yes,” Gu Mengmeng nodded and continued, “After giving birth, all the bones in the body would be shifted more or less, hence a confinement period of one month is needed to rest in bed and let the bones return to their original position. No wind blowing and no strenuous activities, unless you want to have long-term complications and suffer for the rest of your life.”

Gu Mengmeng did not know at that time how she had dug a hole for herself with that sentence.

Elvis remembered her words by heart, before replying, “It’s alright, Lea can look after the children while I look after you.”

Gu Mengmeng raised her eyebrows and asked, “Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to throw your kids to others?”

Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng on her forehead and said, “Xiao Meng, don’t be too cruel to Lea, at least let him do something for you, if not he really won’t be able to live on.”

“But…” Gu Mengmeng frowned and felt guilty.

But Elvis smiled, in an extremely evil manner.

“Unmated males won’t be able to break past the bottleneck of the third-level. I’m a fourth-level beast now, while Lea is a third… He can’t win me.”

Gu Mengmeng took a while to react. She looked at Elvis with the ‘I didn’t know you are such a scheming bitch’ face and said, “So you are saying… those that can’t defeat you can’t be our family members, but all those that are unmated can’t win you… So you are just using Lea as a free Filipino maid? Is this okay? Is this really okay? You two… Aren’t you guys the best buddies that had stuck together for years? What about being best friends through life and death? The boat of friendship had sunk just like that?”

But Elvis calmly replied, “If he’s unwilling, he can leave straight away, I will not stop him.”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head helplessly and said, “I didn’t know you are this kind of Elvis, how evil….”

Elvis pulled over Gu Mengmeng’s hand and kissed it repeatedly, then he said, “So, you don’t need to feel guilty at all. Just accept all the kindness he treats you with. You can consider whether to accept him when he finally beats me someday.”

Gu Mengmeng wanted to say something more, but Elvis had already stood up and walked towards the stone pot. He said, “Lea had cooked three-day worth of food before leaving and he asked me to pour one bowl into the pot to heat it up for you every time. It shall be this bowl today…”

While saying, Elvis had poured the entire bowl of who-knows-what into the pot. There were boiled water of a fingertip’s depth in the pot originally. With the frozen food dropping into the pot, the boiling water splashed all over. But Elvis was indifferent and did not bother moving, just staring at the pot as though he was facing some powerful enemies, repeatedly comparing what was happening in the pot to what Lea had told him when the food was ready to serve.

Looking at Elvis, whom was not the best at cooking, continuously learning and trying for her, Gu Mengmeng could not bring herself to discuss with him further about other men, especially when the man was — her ex.

But what Elvis did not tell Gu Mengmeng was, when she had forgiven everything Lea had done and willing to accept him, he could… lose to Lea anytime.
