Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 985 – : You Are Filthy

Cole’s face brightened as he gazed at Gu Mengmeng. He said expectantly, “My Ah Gu is just too smart. Tell me quick, what else have you thought of? If you guess correctly, I will tell you everything.”

Gu Mengmeng gritted her teeth. She turned away and refused to look at Cole.

She didn’t wish to talk to Cole anymore.

She was afraid that she would lose control of herself and kill Cole.

She was even more worried that she might smack herself to death on impulse.

There were clues everywhere. Why hadn’t she noticed them earlier?

The stray beasts attacking them underwater. A team made up of hundreds of them all killed until only a few were left. Carter suffered such serious injuries while the weaker Fei Rui only had a few minor, superficial scratches.

And she had realized then that the stray beasts were intentionally focusing their attack on Melinda, but had thought they were doing so just to keep Carter’s and Fei Rui’s hands tied.

Now that she was thinking of it, it was all part of Dora’s ploy to kill Melinda and snatch Fei Rui away.

But there was one thing that Gu Mengmeng simply couldn’t understand. Melinda was Fei Rui’s sister and did not pose any threat to Dora. Why did she hate Melinda so much that she would even gamble the chance to kidnap Fei Rui just so she could kill Melinda on the spot?

Was the sister of her desired lover such an unbearable relation?

Or had some other conflict occurred between Dora and Melinda?

She couldn’t understand and there was no one to ask.

Dora was already dead. The reason behind why she couldn’t stand Melinda had become a thing of the past, following Dora to the grave.

Gu Mengmeng didn’t pursue the matter but just buried her face in the crook of Elvis’s neck. She whispered, “I am tired, I am going to sleep for awhile.”

“Mmm, go ahead.” Elvis supported Gu Mengmeng’s buttocks with one hand, while his other hand held her back, petting her rhythmically.

Lea had been standing in between Gu Mengmeng and Cole all along, and now casually situated his bushy tail to block Cole’s view of her.

Never mind if his Mengmeng wished to talk to Cole. But now that she wanted to sleep, that creep Cole still had the cheek to watch?

Cole chuckled at Lea. “Ninth Highness, you lose your cool too easily. Such childish behavior… ha, it just makes me feel so ashamed that I have been treating you as an opponent.”

Lea remained expressionless and just stared disdainfully at Cole. “Childish? But my Mengmeng calls this preserving one’s childlike innocence. She really likes this aspect of me.”

Lea was completely unfazed by Cole’s taunting. He might have fallen into Cole’s trap in the past, at the very least being emotionally roused.

But while engraving the “Thirty-Six Stratagems” on the meeting room wall, Gu Mengmeng had explained to them the gist of those stratagems. These past weeks, when he had nothing else to do, he would study more into the stratagems, and was now rather well-versed in them.

It would not be as easy as before if Cole wished to use those tricks to entrap him again.

Cole also knew Lea had learned the “Thirty-Six Stratagems” and so never expected to succeed in inciting him. He was just tossing out a remark to test him.

“Ha.” Cole chuckled. “It is all thanks to Ah Gu that Ninth Highness has matured so. My interest in her is piqued to the maximum. Even a simple person like you can be groomed to this stage, so if she was with me…”

Lea’s gaze frosted over as his eyes filled with scorn. His voice was calm and without any rage. This plain, flat manner of speaking actually made him sound all the more convincing. “My Mengmeng will never be with you. Because… you are filthy.”
