Chapter 686: We Have Come to Fetch Her Home For Dinner
Lea smirked.
Go ahead and live your days clinging onto your position as the first partner if you want to, I am just a beast pet who managed to climb his way up to a partner status. I don’t need such a nice-sounding title. I just want Mengmeng.

With that, Lea turned into a fox and ducked out from under Elvis’ arm, dashing right towards Gu Mengmeng.
Elvis’ frowned deeply as he watched Lea sprinting away.
Actually, Lea was right. He was also jealous and also wanted to go crazy and charge over to snatch Gu Mengmeng away.
Moreover, it’s not that important for a first partner to show generosity… otherwise, how could Lea have so easily escaped him?
Sighing, Elvis made to catch up with Lea, heading towards Gu Mengmeng.
Lea already had Gu Mengmeng in his arms. His furry tail had replaced Chixuan’s earlier position as he monopolized Gu Mengmeng’s embrace. Hede held onto Chixuan as he looked helplessly at Gu Mengmeng, while Lea glared at Burke. With no other choice, Hede tugged at Jialue and Kanwu.
Let’s go over there to eat.

Jialue and Kanwu looked haplessly at Gu Mengmeng and shook their heads. Without another word, they followed Hede over to the fire to start portioning out the roasted meat.
By the time Elvis arrived, Lea was hugging Gu Mengmeng and showering her with kisses and nuzzles. It was as if he was trying to replace the scent that Burke had left on Gu Mengmeng.
Burke was standing about three steps away, quietly watching Lea throw a tantrum which Gu Mengmeng accepted without qualms. There was an envious look in Burke’s eyes.
Elvis took Gu Mengmeng over from Lea and turned towards Burke.
Thank you for taking care of Xiao Meng this afternoon. We have come to fetch her home for dinner.

Burke’s gaze fell upon that piece of meat which Gu Mengmeng had only taken a couple of bites before Lea had knocked it away. He felt rather despondent but had no right to object. He could only nod in silence.
Carrying Gu Mengmeng, Elvis turned to leave. Lea passed by Burke and chuckled.
The wounds on your back have more or less healed. Do you intend to keep letting those wolf pups hunt for your?

Burke kept quiet but just watched in silence at Gu Mengmeng’s gradually departing back profile.
A red glint flashed across Lea’s pupils before vanishing again. He gave a faint smile, filled with a remote chilliness. After waiting for Gu Mengmeng to be out of hearing distance, Lea continued.
I don’t care what motive he has for letting you get close to Mengmeng, but I will not let you succeed. You better win over Kanwu now, in case he discovers your true face one day. By then, I will reacquaint you with Lea, the witch doctor of Saint Nazaire.

At that, Lea sprinted away to catch up with Elvis and Gu Mengmeng.

Mengmeng, I will braise a fowl for you today.


Mengmeng, did you miss me this afternoon?


Mengmeng, call me daddy~

Burke remained rooted to the spot, silently watching Gu Mengmeng disappear into the horizon. He gradually relaxed his tightly clenched fists.
What motive did that person have?
Even Burke himself did not know.
He felt that the person was not just helping him pursue Gu Mengmeng. He must have an ulterior motive.
Nonetheless, Burke could not resist following his instructions. Apart from everything else, he just wished to get closer to her… just a little.
