She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Shang Xi was a bit surprised that Mr. Gu had prepared a small gift.

"Thank you, Dad," Baby Shang said, pursing his chubby lips and reaching out with his little hand to take it.

"Hmm, open it and take a look," Gu Wen coughed lightly, looking out the window as if he didn't care whether his son liked it or not.

Baby Shang gently opened the box, and for a moment, his lips slightly parted and his big eyes were filled with astonishment.

It was so beautiful.

The stars dotted the surface, creating a shimmering mosaic. Clockwise, they formed an exquisite and magnificent gear, while counterclockwise, they formed a slightly smaller rotating gear. The minute hand was a tiny globe, intricately crafted and unimaginably complex, slowly rotating along with the gears.

Baby Shang stared at it without blinking, completely captivated.

No man could refuse such a watch.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Dai Cen thought to himself, even little boys are still boys.

Unfortunately, the price was too extravagant for him to afford.

Gu Wen was afraid there might be some misunderstanding about the small gift. Is something worth tens of millions called a small gift?!

Shang Xi also noticed the watch and thought to himself that this toy watch was made quite realistically.

Baby Shang lowered his gaze, his big eyes filled with curiosity as he stared at the watch. He even wanted to take it apart and see how it worked.

After they arrived home,

Baby Shang put the watch in his pocket and took the rose, cutting off a small piece. He tiptoed and placed it in the vase in the room.

The vase, filled with water, already held six flowers of various colors, all gifts from Mom.

She had told him before that this would help the flowers last longer. When the flowers began to wilt, they could be dried and preserved as dried flowers.

This was the love Mom gave him, and he wanted to keep it safe.

Children are the most sensitive, and he sensed a different atmosphere in the house. Holding the watch, he sat down on the balcony and observed it carefully.

He didn't go downstairs to play.

Because Mom didn't go downstairs either.

Shang Xi did indeed hide in her room.

She had seen how enthusiastic and adorable the werewolves were before, but now they seemed much quieter. Some of them didn't even leave their rooms, looking listless.

Shang Xi lowered her gaze and thought that it would be better for her to appear less.

And so, another week passed.

That afternoon,

They went to pick up their child from school again, and the car was quiet.

As they approached the kindergarten, Gu Wen spoke up, "I want to take the little one to see a movie."

When he was leaving work, he overheard his subordinates talking.

"When I was young, I was busy with work, so I didn't spend much time with my child. Now he doesn't even feel close to me. Sigh... Sometimes I wonder how to live a life without regrets."

"Manager Zhang, let me tell you, you have to make time. My daughter is five years old, and I give all my time outside of work to my family. Yesterday, I even took her to see 'Crazy Little Dinosaur.' I can't bear to leave home to come to work today."

Gu Wen wanted to strengthen his bond with the little one, so he paid attention and had Dai Cen buy three movie tickets.

He looked at Shang Xi and said, "The little one is attached to you, so you should come too."

Shang Xi also realized that she hadn't taken her son to the movies in a long time, so she had no objections. "Okay."

So, after picking up their child,

Instead of going back to Nanfeng Court, they solved the problem of dining outside. Dai Cen had made a reservation at a restaurant.

The restaurant is decorated in a playful style for children, and every child who dines there receives a small toy.

The waiter smiled and said, "Little one, this is a gift from our restaurant."

It was a blue dolphin plush toy.

Baby Shang, holding his mother's hand, stared at the toy for a while before reaching out to take it. "Thank you," he said.

The waiter, seeing how adorable he looked, smiled even brighter. Then, he glanced at the two adults and couldn't hide his astonishment.

"Please follow me," he said.

They were seated by the window, overlooking a serene park with lush green grass—an ideal setting for a meal.

As soon as Gu Wen entered, he noticed something different about the atmosphere. There was something amiss.

This place was filled with couples dining with their children.

His hearing was far superior to that of an average person. As long as he wanted to, he could hear sounds within a few hundred kilometers. However, the human world was too noisy, so he usually toned down his senses, and his hearing was only slightly better than that of an ordinary human.

For instance, at this moment, he could hear the sounds coming from the restaurant's kitchen.

"Oh my goodness! The family of three that just came in had such high looks. Are they celebrities?"

"I declare, I've been working here since the restaurant opened three years ago, and they are the most good-looking customers we've ever had."

"That man is so damn handsome! But he's not a celebrity, is he?"

"..."

Gu Wen pursed his lips unhappily. Tsk, what kind of restaurant did Dai Cen bring him to!

Gu Wen didn't like being the center of attention. He kept a low profile in the human world, and he didn't appear in the media or news very often.

He was very glad he made that decision.

"Is that woman a model? She's so beautiful! Her skin is fair, and her legs are so long!"

"..."

Gu Wen paused, his gaze involuntarily shifting to the mother and son across from him. Shang Xi naturally hadn't heard anything, as she held the menu and asked her son what he wanted to eat.

She was wearing a white V-neck blouse today, accentuating her slender and graceful neck. Her fair and delicate face exuded a particularly soft and gentle temperament when she interacted with her little one.

"She's really tall and beautiful, and she has a big chest! I really love the beautiful sister, sob sob sob!"

"..."

Gu Wen's line of sight slid down and caught sight of the curve of the woman's bosom...

The next moment, he averted his gaze directly, snapped back to reality, and his ears started to feel hot.

These pure humans really have no filter and no shame.

Shang Xi also noticed the different atmosphere in the restaurant. It was clearly a family-friendly establishment.

She didn't feel much about it. She and Gu Wen picked up their child every day. How many misunderstandings had they encountered?

When the dishes were served, the waiter beamed and said, "This is our restaurant's complimentary Couple's Rose Set. Enjoy your meal!"

In the two plates, the steaks were surrounded by roses, and a heart shape was formed with cherry tomatoes.

"..."

Even Shang Xi, who didn't care about being misunderstood, felt a bit awkward at this moment.

Gu Wen, sitting across from her, had an extremely poor dining experience. His brows and eyes grew colder, and he didn't even glance at the plate.

In the end, neither of them touched the two complimentary dishes. They silently neglected them on the side, in perfect harmony.

Gu Wen hardly spoke throughout the meal. Most of the time, he was watching the little one.

They left the restaurant.

Gu Wen glanced at the name of the restaurant, "LOVE Family Restaurant," and his face darkened.

Noticing the woman's gaze beside him, he spoke in a low voice, "Dai Cen booked this restaurant."

Implicitly, he was telling her not to overthink.

Shang Xi understood and nodded, taking the initiative to say, "Let's make it clear to him next time. This place isn't suitable for us."

"Yes."

Indeed, was a family restaurant like LOVE the right place for him and Shang Xi?

He had set aside some time just to spend with their child, not to experience some fancy romantic couple's package here!

Because they had a child together, Gu Wen and Shang Xi were often mistaken for being in a romantic relationship, but they ignored it. It was an unintentional misunderstanding that couldn't be helped.

But coming to a place like this restaurant, it could have been avoided, couldn't it?

At the entrance of the restaurant,

Dai Cen saw his boss coming out and hurriedly opened the car door.

Gu Wen gave him a cold glance.

Dai Cen: "???"

At the movie theater,

Parents, children, and couples were all holding hands.

Gu Wen held the hand of their child and Shang Bao naturally held her mother's hand on the other side, her little steps becoming much lighter.

Gu Wen and Shang Xi exchanged a glance but quickly looked away.

However, they were in sync.

Goodnight, this will be the only update... I've been dozing off, and tomorrow I'll write and revise properly. Before long, everyone will know that Grey Tail is still alive, oh.
