Gu Mengmeng just wanted to praise Lea, but heard Elvis say softly, “I remember your beaten up face when you came home that day, and totally did not look like you took advantage of him.”
Gu Mengmeng startled for a moment, then raised her eyebrows, gently poking at Elvis’ chest.
As expected, Lea started jumping around anxiously, messing around with Elvis.
Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng, not wanting to bother with him, but he continued to try to go into Gu Mengmeng’s embrace, whining for her to back him up.
Smile, Gu Mengmeng was trying her hardest to smile.
Such methods of exposure to fool around, was surely a form of fun they developed over the years?
When she was sad… they would cooperate to pamper her.
If she still did not smile, those two would be even more worried.
“Mommy…” Jialue rushed out from the house, jumping right into Gu Mengmeng’s arms.
Gu Mengmeng stably caught her son, who was at her thigh height, picking him up with one arm and softly arranging his hair that had been messed up from running. She rubbed his wolf ears, that were standing straight, lovingly. Out of the three sons who had evolved into half-orcs, Jialue’s evolution progress was the worst. Other than a pair of wolf ears, his tail was also not evolved. Gu Mengmeng guessed that perhaps Jialue was the most affected by her genes, which explains the obstructions in his evolution.
This had caused Gu Mengmeng to feel very apologetic towards Jialue. If her genes had caused the failure of Jialue’s evolution, resulting in him stopping as a half-orc, then what would his life become? She did not even dare to think.
“Why?” Gu Mengmeng tried her best to make herself sound loving as she did not wish for her emotions to affect the children. Although they were very sensitive, she still hoped for them to not be affected so easily.
Jialue’s caring nature resembled the Gu Mengmeng of the past a lot, as his amber eyes smiled like the warm sun, his childish face carrying the innocence only children would possess, smiling genuinely and warmly.
“I overheard you speaking just now.” Jialue covered his little mouth, secretly telling the “little secret” to Gu Mengmeng, with a smug look in his eyes, coupled with secret delight.
Gu Mengmeng felt rather confused, not understanding what Jialue meant, so she said softly, “Eavesdropping is not right.”
Jialue blinked, tilting his head looking at Gu Mengmeng, “Why not? Daddy Lea said, we should try our best to know every detail, so that we can control situations to the greatest extent, and protect mommy.”
Gu Mengmeng turned around to look at Lea, who cleared his throat and tried to justify, “But I did not teach him to eavesdrop.”
Jialue frowned, pouting, and noticed the threat in Lea’s gaze.
Giving in, Lea came forward and whispered, “Don’t betray me, I will teach you the art of inference.”
It was only then that Jialue finally nodded in satisfaction, then smiling sweetly at Gu Mengmeng, “Hmm, Daddy Lea never taught me how to eavesdrop.”
Three black lines drooped down from the top of Gu Mengmeng’s head…
Jialue was now being hugged in her arms, and after inheritance of Snake’s capabilities, she possessed extremely good hearing. Should she not hear such “under-the-counter” things? Would it not seem too fake if she pretended not to hear even when it was said so closely to her ears?
Jialue held Gu Mengmeng’s face, beaming with the cutest smile, “Mommy don’t be angry, if you don’t like it, I will tell De, Wu and Xuan to cover their ears when mommy is talking to someone else in the future, that way we won’t be able to hear~”
