Chapter 882
“I… can I also?” Chixuan was somewhat surprised.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and caressed Chixuan’s head. “Of course, you are my son. There is nothing impossible for you in this household.”
Actually, Chixuan was already a fully-grown adult. Gu Mengmeng’s intimate action made him feel rather embarrassed. But at the same time, he felt a sense of longing and contentment.
He enjoyed the rush that those conflicting feelings brought.
“Thank you mother,” Chixuan said in a small voice. He then took up a bowl, bowed and rushed out.
Gu Mengmeng heaved a big sigh after the four children left. Her smile faded until only loneliness was left.
Elvis used his forefinger to gently rub Gu Mengmeng’s brow. His usually harsh eyes held only tenderness now, as if he desperately wished to bring all that was kind and gentle in the world to this little person. He said in a soothing voice, “Our children have grown up and will always want to head out and roam about. So, why don’t you try diverting your focus on them to Lea and I instead?”
Gu Mengmeng’s heart felt like it was being teased by a kitten. As she looked at Elvis, being all jealous over their own sons, she couldn’t help smiling. And it was a smile full of sweetness and just a tinge of exasperation.
From the time her sons were born, this fellow had ranked them as his number one romantic rivals.
Now that their sons had grown up…
Why did he give off a vibe, as if he had finally overcome a tough obstacle?
“Xiao Meng.” Elvis’ voice was hot and raspy, with just a trace of seduction. “During today’s hunt, I observed that Hede and the rest are not far from evolving.”
Gu Mengmeng froze. “Will it be as painful as Chixuan’s experience?”
Elvis shook his head. “No. Their bones have already evolved, and it will not be as painful as that.”
Only then did Gu Mengmeng relax and breathe out in relief.
Elvis twirled a strand of Gu Mengmeng’s hair absentmindedly. “I wished to say that after they have evolved, they need to move out and lead independent lives. You…”
Gu Mengmeng bit her bottom lip. Her sons were just slightly over a year old. In the present world, they should still be in her arms sucking on pacifiers, while here… she had to face up to her sons’ need for independence and to leave home.
Ha, why was everything in the Beast World on an accelerated pace.
Her pregnancy had only lasted over a dozen days, while her children could only remain with her for a year…
She couldn’t deny being depressed at that.
But Gu Mengmeng knew that as a good mother, she needed to learn how to let go when the time came. She needed to accept the fact that her sons’ were individual beings, and she could not force her own wishes upon them.
Hence, Gu Mengmeng nodded. “I know. I will be mentally prepared.”
Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little face. “Don’t worry. Even after they become independent, you will not lose them. Like what Chixuan is doing now, they will come visit you every few days.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled rather helplessly. “Mothers can no longer control their sons after they have grown up. I am afraid that by then, it might be like that husky in that little community. Vanishing without a trace the moment the master lets go of its leash…”
Elvis had not heard the term husky in a long while. Recalling how she used to tease him with that name, those sweet memories drew a warm smile on his face as tenderness rippled in his eyes. He said happily, “I will break their legs if they dare to not return home to visit you.”
