Chapter 869: First Mating Anniversary
The two adults and three children surrounded Gu Mengmeng, playing around in delight as they successfully broke the depression in Gu Mengmeng’s heart completely. Her depression dissolved a little by a little together with the snowflakes splattered on her before flowing down and disappearing.
Upon looking at her gradual radiant smile, a pair of eyes, that was hidden in the deep part of the snow, glimmered. It was not sure whether it was an effect of feeling assured or disappointed as those eyes backtracked slowly from its original route.
In one of Sauder’s stone houses, Cole sat on a high spot like a king, his lazy and ridiculing gaze landing on the stone tablet fixed on the wall.
Ha, Ah Gu was throwing her tantrum with him, right? He could almost imagine her sly smile when deliberating all these.
Yeah, she’s a cute little fox.
She wanted to tell him that she knew where his abilities came from with this stone tablet?
So, Ah Gu carved this stone tablet while thinking about him, right?
It’s quite a great gift.
The sound of someone wriggling about at the entrance could be heard. Cole looked towards the direction of the noise with a gentle gaze and knew who it was without seeing the person.
“Is she fine?” Cole asked softly.
Chixuan whimpered a few sounds out from his throat in an unclear manner.
“Envious? Then why didn’t you appear? If you’re willing to go back, she will definitely be very happy.” Cole had a tint of rumination hanging on the corners of his lips. He gestured at Chixuan, asking him to jump on his knees, lying down there like an obedient big-sized pet.
Hearing Chixuan’s answer that was just by his mouth, Cole’s grin grew wider as he rubbed his head, saying, “Foolish son, don’t pity me. I’m the evil boss in the Beast World.”
“Owooooo—”
“Yeah, I know.” Cole lifted his head up and closed his eyes, saying, “One day, she will be mine. Then, our family will not need to be separated again.”
…
The snowfall became heavier and was going to seal the stone castle completely.
The construction of the stone house was much more perfect than the cave and was also closer to the style of a modern architecture. There were two floors, with seven rooms on the upper level and four rooms on the lower level. The main hall was a more spacious area so Elvis started a fireplace there to cook meals and get warmth.
The food pile was placed in the rooms on the first floor so the three little ones had no room on their own. They just slept directly in the main hall, lying near the fireplace to stay warm.
This day, Gu Mengmeng unexpectedly did not allow Lea to prepare their food as she personally whipped up a sumptuous meal. The three little ones kept twirling around Gu Mengmeng, harboring strong curiousness towards the food in their Mother’s hands.
After working around for quite some time, she managed to lay the table filled with dishes despite the ingredients being limited
Gu Mengmeng huddled into Elvis’s arms before pecking his cheek. “Hubby, happy first mating anniversary.”
Elvis felt a gush of warm water flowing into his heart as it softened into a pile of mess. His deep eyes looked like they stored an entire piece of ocean as he said gently, “So the reason why you kept yourself busy today was to celebrate our first mating anniversary?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and questioned, “Isn’t this an important date to both of us?”
“Yes.” Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s temple.
Actually, to him, every day was an important date since the day he met Gu Mengmeng in the lake.
But because Gu Mengmeng took this day to heart, it became Elvis’s most important day in all the important days.
“Xiao Meng, happy first mating anniversary.” Elvis learned from how Gu Mengmeng spoke and tried his best to reply her in the softest tone possible.
