Chapter 861
Parents would forever give in when faced with the willfulness of their own child.
Because children dared to hurt themselves just to coerce you, while you are never as heartless as you claim to be—willing to see them die and then calmly collecting their bodies.
Gu Mengmeng immediately gave in the moment Chixuan struggled.
Mmm, that’s right.
A kind mother begets a useless son, but what could one do?
This dying child before her was her very own son!
Gu Mengmeng turned around and looked at Elvis and Lea with tear-filled eyes. “The two of you leave first and head back to that stone house where we used to stay.”
Elvis didn’t move. He just stared at Gu Mengmeng with furrowed brows.
“Please…” Gu Mengmeng sobbed. Her heart was truly torn by Chixuan’s injuries.
Clenching his fists, Elvis gave in and stood outside the door to wait for her.
Gu Mengmeng nodded. She would not force Elvis to go further. As long as Chixuan calmed down, she was satisfied.
After Elvis and Lea departed, Chixuan shifted his tiny head and rested his chin on Gu Mengmeng’s knee. He closed his eyes and groaned, obviously in great pain.
Cole used one finger to gently wipe off Gu Mengmeng’s tears before putting it into his mouth to taste. He commented with a faint smile. “Salty…”
“Are you a pervert?” Gu Mengmeng blocked off Cole’s hand in disgust, as he tried to reach over again.
Cole gazed down at Chixuan before raising his head to look at Gu Mengmeng. Sighing softly, he said, “I have already instructed my men to get Dylan over to treat Little Xuan. Don’t worry, I will not let anything happen to Little Xuan.”
Gu Mengmeng shot Cole a chilly look. “I really don’t know what kind of bewitching potion did you give Chixuan, such that he would protect you like this without any regard for his own life.”
“Bewitching potion… if I had something like that, wouldn’t I have you drink it first?” Cole smiled, completely unfazed by Gu Mengmeng’s cold words. He doted on her like she was his own pampered female. No matter what she said to him or how she glared at him, he treated it all as flirtatious banter.
“Owooo…”
Chixuan cried out which immediately attracted Gu Mengmeng’s complete attention.
The worse thing was that she still couldn’t understand what her son was saying.
If not for her anxiousness over Chixuan’s current dire condition, Gu Mengmeng wanted to immediately go to sleep and seek out that lonely old man for a negotiation. She would be more than willing to call him daddy if he could just give her a translation cheat code?! It felt so wrong having to rely on a translator just to talk to her own son!
Cole somehow felt his mood lighten after noticing the distress on Gu Mengmeng’s face.
Caressing Chixuan’s tiny head, he said, “Little Xuan, don’t be afraid. Your mother doesn’t dislike me and has no intention of leaving us.”
“Woowoo…” Chixuan’s face went slack and he lifted his little face to gaze at Gu Mengmeng pitifully.
“Ah Gu, don’t let Little Xuan worry, alright?” Cole pleaded with a slight frown.
Ha, there’s no need for a translation any more. Just by hearing Cole’s words to Chixuan, she understood what Chixuan was whimpering about just now.
But she really couldn’t understand why the four little ones and Elvis couldn’t get along at all. Why did they all treat outsiders better? Especially this Cole…
Gu Mengmeng gritted her teeth. At the end of the day, she could not bear to set herself against her heavily injured son. She would have to wait until he had recovered before educating him.
Forcing a smile, Gu Mengmeng kissed Chixuan’s forehead. “Good boy. Mummy will not leave. Mummy will stay by your side the whole time, okay?”
