Chapter 990: Chixuan Gets Promoted

If she could get back her son by giving up one ear, Gu Mengmeng would not hesitate at all.

Cole shook his head. His gaze was cool. “You know I don’t want to harm you… why provoke my jealousy? I cannot bear to hurt you and have no choice but to vent my anger elsewhere. What do you think of changing Chixuan’s name? Instead of Chixuan, let’s call him Pond Fish, as in the fish in the pond who gets sacrificed when the pond water is drained to put out a fire.”

“Using Chixuan time and again to threaten me, aren’t you tired of it?” Gu Mengmeng was truly filled with hatred. She swore that the moment Chixuan was no longer so blindly loyal to Cole, she would personally tear Cole to pieces.

Cole didn’t mind and just smiled. “It doesn’t matter if a method has been used before, as long as it is effective. Little Xuan is your weak spot, as long as I have him, you can’t do anything to me, right? You are obviously aching to bite me to death now, but even if I magnanimously offer you my throat, you will still suppress that rage and desire… ha, Ah Gu, it must be so tiring to be you. Why don’t you loosen up a little? The moment you break through these shackles, your soul will taste freedom…”

Break through these shackles?

Ha, the shackles he was referring to was her son!

Heartless words could be uttered by anyone. But if one could not carry out the deed, it was just a bunch of worthless words.

Gu Mengmeng didn’t wish to waste another drop of saliva on Cole. She just glared viciously at him.

She wanted to etch this heartache and rage deep inside her mind, so that she could settle this score with him in future.

“Oohh…” Chixuan emitted a soft sound. Gu Mengmeng’s attention swung back to Chixuan, as she jumped down from Elvis’ arms towards him. She held him carefully as she asked, “Chixuan, tell mummy, are you feeling better? Any pain? Mmm?”

Chixuan wriggled his limbs, before gradually morphing into human form in Gu Mengmeng’s arms.

Gu Mengmeng surveyed Chixuan and found that he didn’t have a single scar. She felt his arms and legs—his bones had also grown back properly. Only then did she relax and her heart settle down.

Chixuan looked at Gu Mengmeng with pursed lips, as if he didn’t know what to say.

As long as he continued to follow Cole, Gu Mengmeng would be under his control. He did feel guilty as he watched Gu Mengmeng once again give way after being forced into a hapless corner. But he could not stop himself.

He wanted to say “sorry mother”, but how could such a simple phrase express his deep regret?

Moreover, if he didn’t repent, what was the use of saying “sorry”?

He then wanted to say “mother, don’t bother about me in future”, but he knew that Gu Mengmeng was not like other females. If she could be just a little more selfish and not care about his life and death, then she wouldn’t be so helplessly played Cole, so much so that she could do nothing but shed tears.

If only mother was a little more selfish, then he wouldn’t feel such emotional turmoil.

But…

Mother was not him. She didn’t possess a ruthless heart and selfish personality like him.

In th end, Chixuan didn’t say a single word to Gu Mengmeng. He just stood up and put on a fur skin dress. He then stood erect before Gu Mengmeng to let her look at him through tear-stained eyes, before turning around and returning to Cole’s side. His head was lowered and his brows deeply furrowed.

Cole gently caressed Chixuan’s head. “My good Little Xuan, you have benefited from this tribulation. Not only did you not die, you have been promoted. Ha, you are truly a son under my care. The most exceptional one in the litter.”
