She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Shang Xi did not know mind reading, and she also did not know what Gu Wen was thinking about her.

The first thing she did when she entered the shop was to change out of the skirt she was wearing, changing into more comfortable clothes.

At eleven o'clock, Zhou Ziyou appeared in the shop.

"I came to see if you were still alive." She was wearing a white dress, carrying a bag of big, red peaches in one hand.

Shang Xi was making flower arrangements, smiling: "Look, I'm alive and well."

Zhou Ziyou took a peach, rinsed it clean at the sink, cut it into square pieces, then took a toothpick box from the table, shaking out two toothpicks.

Carrying the peaches, she sat down next to Shang Xi, speared a piece of peach with a toothpick, and brought it to her lips.

"It should be quite sweet."

Shang Xi naturally opened her mouth and took a bite of the peach, nodding her head: "Mm, very sweet."

She continued making the flower arrangements while Zhou Ziyou from time to time fed her mouthfuls of peach. Zhou Ziyou looked Shang Xi up and down: "How is it? Is it okay staying at the Gu family?"

Although Shang Xi had said it was fine that day, she was still a little worried. Ordinary commoners like them and aristocratic families like the Gus were two completely different worlds. She was afraid that Shang Xi would be treated terribly.

She did not think it was a good thing for her sister to get involved with such an aristocratic family. She was more worried about the uncontrollable unknown.

She couldn't help it, she had never seen the world, and only had some understanding of rich people from TV, comics and manga. To her, aristocratic families were frightening existences. People could do too many things for money.

In her opinion, people didn't necessarily need too much money to live. An ordinary, plain life would be safer.

Too much money invited too much trouble.

"I've turned the internet inside out these past few days, but I didn't find anything about Mr. Gu having a girlfriend. How strange, there wasn't even a scandal. I'm afraid there are women around him who don't like you. Have you met his family members? What are his family members like? Do they think you're trying to marry into wealth?"

Shang Xi couldn't help laughing: "Manga artists really are different."

Ziyou glared: "Stop kidding around, I'm worried about you, very seriously!!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you think." Shang Xi thought about the wolf pack in the mansion. Were those werewolves Gu Wen's family? If they were of the same race, then they were half family.

As for Gu Wen's parents, she hadn't met them.

"They're all pretty nice people, don't worry."

Ziyou's eyebrows knitted together as she said earnestly: "If things go wrong, run away immediately. Call me if you need anything!"

"Alright alright, I'll listen to Ziyou." Shang Xi said, and took another look at Ziyou: "By the way, have you lost some weight?"

Women trying to lose weight should all like hearing this.

Ziyou laughed: "Right? You can tell? I'm 123 pounds now."

At 5'6", Ziyou was once 165 pounds. Losing 14 pounds in a month was pretty good.

"My goal weight is 110 pounds! When I'm thin I'll definitely be a beauty. When I'm thin I'm going to wear so many pretty dresses!" Ziyou blinked coquettishly at Shang Xi.

"You're already beautiful now." Shang Xi wasn't lying. Ziyou's current plump figure, fair and delicate skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, slightly chubby face, still looked quite cute.

Ziyou sighed: "With my current figure and looks, the men who like me are ones I don't like, and the ones I like don't look at me. I understand, in this world, everyone judges by appearances. If I don't change now, I'll never meet someone. Don't tell me someone will love me for who I am or that he's waiting for me somewhere. I'm a manga artist, I know better which are just dreams and fantasies."

She was a full-time manga artist. Her circle was small, and she had even less contact with men.

She was still very clear-headed.

Shang Xi pressed her lips together and nodded: "As long as you lose weight healthily, I support you. Nothing extreme that harms your health."

"I know. Ah I really envy you, you never get fat no matter how much you eat! I gain weight just from drinking water!"

Shang Xi laughed softly, staring at her: "Are you sure you gain weight just from drinking water?"

Ziyou sighed: "Okay, not really. It's because I eat too much and my body absorbs it too well."

Zhou Ziyou chatted with Shang Xi in the shop for two hours before leaving.

Shang Xi silently worked. When it was time, she changed into a skirt to go pick up her son from kindergarten.

The black WUS slowly stopped at the door of Qingfeng Flower Shop.

As soon as Shang Xi stepped out, she saw it.

Dai Cen stood by the car, dressed in a silvery gray suit, smiling and nodding at her: "Miss Shang, to pick up the young master right? Please get in the car and go together!"

Without a second thought, Shang Xi decisively nodded: "Sure! Coming right away."

She quickly locked the shop door, smiling as she walked over: "Did Mr. Gu ask you to pick up Shang Bao?"

With how busy Gu Wen was, there was no need to think about it. He wouldn't be sending and picking up every day.

Then...

Dai Cen smiled and opened the car door.

She saw the long legs crossed inside, Gu Wen sitting somewhat casually. His eyes slid to the side as he stared at her with an aloof expression.

"Mr. Gu, you came too." Shang Xi was a little surprised.

With Gu Wen there, the little boy who acted cold at kindergarten would be happy right?

"Barring accidents, from now on I will pick up and drop off the cub." Gu Wen's voice was low, his tone betraying no emotion.

"Oh."

The bald driver silently started the car. Dai Cen sat in the passenger seat and timely spoke up: "Miss Shang, if you're willing, you just need to wait for us at the shop entrance. We'll come pick you up together."

"I'm willing."

Why wouldn't she be willing to get a free ride?

Only a fool would turn down a car.

"Mr. Gu, let me know when we arrive."

Feeling a little tired today, after getting in the car she closed her eyes, wanting to rest for a bit during the ride.

Gu Wen's gaze left the window and slowly, slowly settled on her.

His tall nose twitched lightly. He pressed his lips together. The car was filled with the floral scent given off by this woman.

She had her eyes closed, long thick lashes forming a row of little fans. Her full lips were lightly pursed, and she fell asleep in an instant.

Tsk, Gu Wen withdrew his gaze, looking out the window again.

Working so hard, was it because she lacked money?

From what he knew, when pure humans worked so hard, it was all for money.

Shang Xi woke up with a start, realizing the car had stopped. She was afraid Gu Wen had already gotten out without waking her up.

But when she hurriedly looked up, Gu Wen was sitting right across from her.

"Mr. Gu, what time is it?" She quickly glanced outside as she undid her seatbelt.

"Still ten minutes left."

Shang Xi relaxed: "How long has it been since we arrived? You should have woken me."

"No need."

They'd already arrived for a while, but the woman was sleeping so soundly. Let her sleep a bit longer then.

Gu Wen quietly watched Shang Xi. After sleeping for a bit, her hair was a little messy. He slowly spoke: "You're the cub's mother. I believe I have the right to be responsible for your food, lodging, transportation and other expenses."

"Huh?" Shang Xi was confused: "What do you mean?"

On the dashboard, Gu Wen slid a stack of cards in front of her.

"If you need anything, feel free to spend."

The man's thin lips were pressed together, his jawline sharp. He spoke in a deep voice: "You working so hard for money is a slap in my face."

Whether he liked it or not, she was still the cub's mother.
