That night, Sauder held a bonfire party.

  After all, it was the all-important start to the new year. As the Messenger of the Beast Deity, Gu Mengmeng naturally had to attend.

  The prime seat at the largest bonfire was reserved only for Gu Mengmeng.

  Families were considered as one unit during bonfire parties, with as many bonfires as the number of females in the tribe. Males who had no families would try their best to raise their own profile in front of the females they fancied, and if successful…… they would become a bona fide member of a family that very night.

  Even during such an occasion, Oakley maintained his status as an organizer to settle all the arrangements for the event. A few females expressed their goodwill towards Oakley, only to be pushed aside by him.

  Kanwu fought to get Gu Mengmeng’s permission, to let Burke gather at their family’s bonfire to play. The three young ones were still caught up with the excitement of today’s hunt, and pestered Burke constantly with stories of the expedition. A few times, Burke wanted to talk to Gu Mengmeng, but couldn’t find the opportunity to do so.

  Gu Mengmeng was happily relaxed. She also knew those three young ones were intentionally behaving so.

  Because the moment Burke talked to her, regardless of whether she paid any heed to him, he would never get the chance to sit with them again.

  The two males in her household would never allow a male who had designs on her, to raise his own profile in front of her.

  From start till end, Elvis kept Gu Mengmeng tightly within his embrace.

  Lea kept busy with the food preparations, while Gu Mengmeng was engrossed in the tales of her sons’ “heroic achievements”. Now and then, her gaze drifted to the surroundings, but failed to spot Chixuan’s profile.

  He had eaten lunch with her this afternoon, so the night time was probably reserved for Cole.

  Sigh, he was her own son but he treated Cole as family.

  Could it be her own auspicious remark on that Stockholm Syndrome phenomenon—it had really come true for Chixuan.

  Sigh……

  At this moment, Gu Mengmeng really wished she was Wang Xiaoxin. Would she know what to do now if she knew some psychology?

  “Gu Mengmeng.” A soft voice sounded out from behind.

  Gu Mengmeng turned back and met Sandy’s shining eyes.

  Mmm, every time Gu Mengmeng saw Sandy again for the first time after winter, she always felt as if Sandy had gone to Korea for liposuction and plastic surgery.

  She had witnessed this transformation last year, but was still stunned again this year.

  Really……

  Fair skin covers a hundred flaws, while being fat ruins everything.

  All fat girls held the potential to be beautiful. The moment they slimmed down, they would be so beautiful even you would be alarmed.

  Gu Mengmeng stood up from Elvis’ embrace and pulled Sandy along to sit at the side of the bonfire.

  With stern faces, both Bode and Collin stood protectively beside Sandy. It made one feel rather intimidated.

  Gu Mengmeng turned to look at them. “What? Are you still afraid I will eat Sandy up?”


  Bode subconsciously started to nod, before quickly shaking his head. He tried to explain but immediately kept his mouth shut and his head lowered after Sandy glared at him.

  Gu Mengmeng couldn’t be bothered with them and just passed the roasted meat, which Lea had just handed her, over to Sandy. “There, you eat this first.”


  Sandy smiled sweetly and took the roasted meat, but didn’t start eating. Her tiny face glowed in the firelight, and she appeared exceptionally bashful.

  “Gu Mengmeng, I have something to tell you.”


  “Mmm? What is it?”


  “I…… I am pregnant.”
