The phone rang when Shang Xi was busy working in the store. Red Tail and Blue Tail were helping out in the store. "Once this order is packed up, we'll go eat." Red Tail and Blue Tail barked happily.
Shang Xi smiled as she picked up the phone. "Let me take this call..." Seeing the contact name "Lone Wolf," she paused for a moment.
"Mr. Gu, is there something you need?"
On the phone, the man's voice was slightly cold. "I'm taking my cub to eat at Meng Lai Mountain Manor to meet my friend. Would you like to come?"
Finally, he added, "My cub hopes you'll come."
As soon as Shang Xi heard this, she agreed without much thought.
It was normal for Gu Wen as a father to take his son to meet his best friend. But for Gu Wen to call and invite her, it was probably because his son didn't want to go.
She was only guessing.
Thinking about how helpless her son might feel around a group of strangers, she thought it would be better if his mom was there.
So she went to wash her hands and change in the little back room.
Although her little flower shop was small, it had a tiny room in the back, with a bathroom that she had specially renovated.
Always running to the bathroom at the supermarket next door was inconvenient.
The little room held her clothes. Thinking she was going to meet Mr. Gu's friends, she didn't want to embarrass her son, so she put on some makeup and wore a nice, fitting dress with a cinched waist.
Gu Wen had said he would come to pick her up.
When she came out of the back room after changing, a pure black luxury car was silently parked at the front door. Its body was shiny black. It was Veiooi's latest model, costing 130 million yuan.
Shang Xi recognized some cars. Seeing it parked so quietly in front of her shop was like seeing a lurking wild beast. She was stunned for a moment.
The next second, the car door lifted, and a familiar tender child's voice called out, "Mommy!!"
She saw her baby running over from below, wearing a simple white T-shirt and loose black casual pants. He ran over to her, held her hand, looked up at her with eyes full of joy, "Mommy."
"Baby, you came to pick up Mommy?"
"Mm, isn't Mommy tired?" He pulled Shang Xi's hand towards the car. After walking a few steps he looked back at Shang Xi, the corners of his lips curving up, "My mommy is the most beautiful person in the world!"
Shang Xi laughed. "You sweet talker." When they got to the car, she finally noticed Gu Wen driving the car.
The back seat was actually fitted with a child safety seat. Shang Xi was genuinely surprised for a moment.
She felt once again that Gu Wen really loved this child.
As a driver herself, she had observed some parents finding it troublesome or unsightly, saying it wasn't necessary to install safety seats since the child didn't go out much.
Shang Xi didn't dare harbor that negligent mentality. Her son was her life.
Gu Wen's attitude towards the child genuinely moved her. For a car of this price and beauty, if he said install it, then install it!
Gu Wen barely spoke to her the entire drive.
It was only when they got out of the car that she received a text message from him.
Lone Wolf: ?When you meet my friends, I hope you can keep your words to a minimum, thanks.?
Shang Xi paused, but didn't mind. She replied: ?Okay.?
She had only made time to come along for her son. And she wasn't familiar with Gu Wen's friends either, so how much could she have to say?
She understood what Mr. Gu meant.
He didn't want her joining his circle of friends.
Being able to invite her to eat must be because the child refused to go, leaving him no choice but to call her.
She gave a careless tug at her lips. She got out of the car with disinterest.
Everyone had their own social circles. She didn't want to introduce Gu Wen to her friends either.
This guy wasn't even a person.
Who knew if his friends were human or wolf people? She should be even more guarded. After all, there was no comparison between the physical strength and attack power of pure humans and wolf people.
Baby Shang didn't know about the adults' matters. He only felt that he had come with his parents to a particularly beautiful, spacious place.
The air was great, not noisy, without any unpleasant smells.
It felt like being deep in the woods. He really liked it here.
Shang Xi stared at the man leading the way, constantly guessing whether he was a wolf person or pure human. When she came back to her senses, they had already arrived at the dining area.
As soon as they reached the door, four men looked over sharply.
Shang Xi suddenly felt a chill down her back. Among Black Tail and the others she was very relaxed, but here, she felt her entire being go wrong.
She immediately confirmed that these were not people, but wolf people.
These few wolf people gave off the same aura as Gu Wen.
She wondered, just how many wolf people tribes had come down the mountain? And how many were there in Qing City?!!
There was also one man wearing a white shirt who looked very familiar. She felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
"How long has it been?" Gu Wen pulled Baby Shang's hand and walked in.
He pulled out the stool on the side. "Have a seat," he said, glancing at Shang Xi.
Shang Xi sat down rather stiffly. In front of Black Tail and the others she was very relaxed, but here, she felt her entire being go wrong.
Seeing Shang Xi sit down, Gu Wen picked up Baby Shang and sat next to her.
"This is my cub, his human name is Shang Shu, four years and six months old."
After Gu Wen spoke, he glanced at Shang Xi next to him, his tone slightly cooler, "She is Shang Xi."
