Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 407 – I Could Do It Once in a While

Lea looked up at Gu Mengmeng with watery eyes. Since his tail was stepped on by Elvis anyway, he did not want to get up, but laid on the bed like a drunk imperial concubine.

“Alright, you are the first partner after all.” Lea stretched out his arms lazily and supported his head. He started talking slowly, “Make a guess, how many sons does my mother have?”

Gu Mengmeng did not understand what Lea meant, but since he was already the Ninth Highness, it was definitely more than nine.

Gu Mengmeng vaguely remembered that foxes give birth to seven to ten cubs on average, but only around four survive. Unless the person is masochistic, one usually would not count the dead ones into the ranking…

So, if Lea was the Ninth Highness, it would be around two to three nests of cubs?

So Gu Mengmeng guessed, “Eleven or twelve?”

Lea shook his head, smiled slyly and said, “Nine, I am the smallest one.”

Gu Mengmeng let out an awkward smile, not knowing why Lea was being so proud, was being the smallest in the family something to be proud of? That just meant that you were the slowest swimmer compared to your brothers when you were just a tadpole…

Seeing Lea starting to answer Gu Mengmeng’s doubts, Elvis moved his feet away.

Once his tail was freed, Lea wagged it twice lazily and stood up straight. He looked at Elvis and said, “The next time, come up with a more convincing reason to threaten me, or else I won’t cooperate with you.”

Elvis raised his eyebrow and said, “You don’t think I will really shave all your fur?”

Lea shook his head and said with ‘are you an idiot’ written over his face, “Mengmeng likes my tail so much, if you really do shave it all.. Well I’m fine with that, at most I will remain in my human form and not show my tail, but Mengmeng will definitely be so disappointed. Will you do things… that will upset her?”

Elvis bit his teeth and coldly said, “I could do it once in a while.”

“Tsk, go on.” Lea despised him.

Gu Mengmeng facepalmed, sometimes she really wondered how did these two enemies live together in peace in the past? How did Elvis resist his urge of strangling Lea to death with Lea’s damned mouth.

Stretching out her hand, Gu Mengmeng signaled a stop sign and said, “Can you answer my question first, we are kind of rushing here, I have got to do the recital on stage during the ceremony in a while.”

Lea smacked his lips and went back to the pace, “Then do you know Cole’s ranking in the family?”

Gu Mengmeng had an uncertain impression of the Beast World, that many rules here resembled the conservative society in traditional China. So she did not hesitate and blurted out, “The oldest of course.”

Lea’s expression did not change and he continued smiling, but Gu Mengmeng could sense a little sadness in it.

Frowning, Gu Mengmeng asked, “Why? Isn’t he the oldest?”

Lea shook his head and said, “He is the second oldest.”

While Gu Mengmeng did not understand where did Lea’s sadness comes from, her instincts told her Lea would not ask irrelevant questions.

She then thought of the old rule of passing down in the past: Pass to the oldest and child of the first wife.

If Cole was the second oldest, then wasn’t the position of Sauder’s Leader not supposed to be inherited by him?

Gu Mengmeng felt a chill down her spine as she asked carefully, “Then… Where’s your oldest brother?”

Lea nodded, as though he was complimenting Gu Mengmeng’s sharpness, but the forced smile looked so pale and heartbreaking.
