"Sauder has some water wells, why don't you go over there for a spell?" Despite not receiving any response, Cole continued to talk to Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng hugged Chixuan and kissed his tiny face. "My good son, continue your nap. Mother will leave now and come back tomorrow to visit you."
With that, Gu Mengmeng placed Chixuan onto the bed and patted him gently on the back. She stood up to leave and didn't even glance at Cole the entire time.
Watching Gu Mengmeng's departing back profile, Cole smiled and rubbed Chixuan's back. "Look, your mother is still throwing a tantrum. It seems like I must continue to cajole her. I will redouble my efforts."

Returning to her own cave, Elvis had already heated up Gu Mengmeng's bath water for her.
Just as Cole didn't allow anyone else to come to his cave to visit Chixuan, Elvis and Lea also couldn't stand the smell of Cole on Gu Mengmeng.
