She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

The attendees of Jiang Bu's birthday party were all werewolves, both male and female.

Some of them tucked away their ears and tails, while many others imitated humans, wearing suits, tuxedos, and formal dresses.

When Gu Wen, holding the hand of his young cub, appeared, the gazes of the wolf pack turned towards him. The werewolves who could attend this banquet were all quite capable.

They knew a bit about Gu Wen's story, and now seeing the cub born to that human woman, some were sizing him up, some pursed their lips, and many were simply charmed by the cuteness of the young one.

The werewolf population numbered in the millions, with numerous leaders of various sizes, each of them having their own followers.

However, as Gu Wen approached, a fierce aura of dominance overwhelmed them. They halted, lowered their heads slightly, and averted their eyes, assuming a submissive posture.

Indeed, they had some skills, but it depended on who they were being compared to.

Gu Wen's body still carried a small fraction of pure human genes, yet his pure wolf form was towering and ferocious to an abnormal degree, almost like a mutation. It was said that some had seen his ultimate pure wolf form, which was even larger than a snow mountain yak.

Just the thought of it sent shivers down their spines, and they dared not meet his gaze.

However, they were relieved that Gu Wen grew up in the human world, where he was ultimately influenced and constrained by human norms.

He appeared just like any other human.

If he had grown up in the snowy mountains, his wildness would have been even stronger, and they couldn't fathom what he might do.

Gu Wen wasn't particularly interested in how the werewolves perceived him. This was his first time bringing the cub out on his own, and most of his attention was focused on the little one.

In the food area, various meat chunks piled up like small mountains.

"Highland beef, would you like some?" he asked, lowering his gaze like an ordinary human father. "Or perhaps you'd like to try some snow mountain yak meat?"

Baby Shang nodded at last.

He knew that the snow mountains were the home of all werewolves, and he was curious about that place.

The servers present were all members of the Jiang Bu family, with their ears and tails exposed, dressed in white shirts and black vests, shuttling back and forth with food and drinks.

They were not familiar with Gu Wen, but they instinctively felt his formidable aura. This was their first time seeing him, and their bodies trembled involuntarily. "Please... this way, sir."

Gu Wen cast a brief glance at them and then whispered to the cub, asking what he wanted to eat, before taking a seat.

The taste of snow mountain yak meat was tender and fragrant, while there wasn't much snow rabbit meat, so it could only be considered a snack. Snow mountain goat meat had a slightly stronger gamey taste, but it suited the werewolves' palates.

As the werewolves praised the flavors, Gu Wen somehow thought of Shang Xi.

Lately, they had been eating together often, and unintentionally, he had learned about her preferences.

She didn't enjoy heavily flavored food and avoided eating animal organs. Coming here, the only thing she might eat was the snow rabbit.

Apart from avoiding strong flavors, she didn't like sour food either, but she did enjoy spicy food. Several times, her eyes had turned red from the spiciness, yet she continued eating.

Realizing what he was thinking, Gu Wen furrowed his brow and shook off his thoughts.

He was bored, that's why he was thinking of that woman in a place full of werewolves.

Baby Shang, a little wolf cub, had his pitch-black eyes gleaming at the slightly gamey scent of snow mountain goat meat.

He licked his lips and had the same thought as his father, his voice tenderly saying, "There's nothing that Mom likes to eat."

Gu Wen glanced at him and made a sound of agreement.

So, it was a good thing they didn't bring her along.

Next to the food and drinks was the flower area.

Most of them were human flowers, but among them was a small patch of white flowers, surrounded by ice, emitting a chilly air and a faint fragrance. Surprisingly, those were snowfall flowers from Snow Mountain.

When the snowfall flowers withered, their petals would break into small white pieces, dancing in the wind like snowflakes.

It wasn't easy to bring something from Snow Mountain to the human world, so it took Fu Su a lot of effort to arrange this for her younger brother's birthday.

Gu Wen looked at the snowfall flowers and thought about Shang Xi, who owned a flower shop and was always covered in various floral scents. Hmm, she probably hasn't seen snowfall flowers before, right? When they leave, he'll bring some back for her.

She'll definitely be happy.

When that woman is happy, she curves her eyes like a moon.

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Gu Wen froze.

Why did he want to bring back snowfall flowers for her to see just because she hasn't seen them before? When did he become so considerate?

Moreover, bringing her flowers wouldn't be appropriate given their relationship, right?

Gu Wen furrowed his brows slightly and took a sip of his drink.

He felt his mind getting cloudy.

Better focus on taking care of the young cub. He promised that woman, and he didn't want to fail even in these small matters.

A long time passed, and when Gu Wen snapped out of his daze, he realized that he had been thinking about Shang Xi all this time.

"..."

His expression went blank for two seconds.

It seemed like he had gotten too close to Shang Xi during this period, taking the young cub to and from school together, eating out together, and even taking the young cub out to play together.

Today, he suddenly didn't bring her along, so he would occasionally think of her. Well, that's justifiable and normal.

When they were about to leave.

He thought for a moment and asked the young cub, "Those are flowers from Snow Mountain. Do you want to bring some back?"

"I want to! Mom will like them."

Gu Wen thought, he also felt...

So.

Fu Su specifically brought a large container filled with ice cubes and packed all the snowfall flowers.

The trunk of the car was just big enough to fit that large box.

Father and son got into the car.

Halfway through the drive, Gu Wen's phone rang, followed by several more rings. He glanced at the sleeping young cub, furrowed his brow, and opened his phone, only to notice that it was a message from Shang Xi.

He hadn't even realized it himself; his fingers moved faster than his brain. Without much thought, he clicked into the conversation.

Shang Xi had sent four pictures.

"Mr. Gu, is this wolf an ordinary wolf or a wolfman? Can you recognize it?"

"The fur is gray-black. Please reply to me quickly."

Gu Wen hadn't even opened the full-size images yet, but he already saw a large gray-black wolf lying on a big bed. The angle seemed like it was secretly taken and wasn't very clear, a bit blurry.

And there was another picture, the large wolf weakly lying on the floor tiles, as if it were in the entrance area, wrapped in various bandages.

Gu Wen stared at his phone intently, and at that moment, Shang Xi couldn't wait any longer and called.

Gu Wen answered the call.

"Mr. Gu, I sent you the photos, have you seen them? If you haven't, please take a look now. Do you recognize that wolf?"

"My friend said she was saved by this wolfman and she brought the injured wolf back home." Shang Xi's emotions were intense, her voice trembling. "Is he... Is he...?" She seemed to be trying to confirm something but hesitated.

Gu Wen spoke, "Yes, he is Gray Tail."

"Really?" Shang Xi's voice trembled. "Is he really? Are you sure you didn't mistake it?"

Gu Wen took a deep breath. "Yes, he is alive. Where does your friend live? I'll come over right now."

After Shang Xi gave him the address, Gu Wen instructed the driver to head in that direction.

They arrived at the location.

Shang Xi and a woman were standing at the entrance of a residential complex. Gu Wen got out of the car.

The plump woman widened her eyes and covered her mouth. "Oh my goodness, he really came!"

Gu Wen narrowed his eyes and looked coldly. He could sense the scent of Gray Tail on the woman.

Gray Tail was alive.

Shang Xi ran over in a few steps, furrowing her brows. "Go up and see, confirm it yourself."

Gu Wen's gaze fell on her face. "It's already confirmed. It's Gray Tail."

"Your friend is covered in the scent of Gray Tail."

Shang Xi's eyes turned red. "That's wonderful."

Zhou Ziyou was seeing Gu Wen in person for the first time in real life and felt overwhelmed by his powerful aura. Even with just a casual glance, she found it hard to breathe.

She felt uncomfortable and stiffly greeted him, "Mr. Gu, let's take the elevator this way."

Today she learned that Mr. Gu was not an ordinary person.

Just like Shang Xi, she had completely opened the door to a new world.

Fifth floor.

Gray Tail had already gotten up from the bed, holding a watering can and watering the succulents on the balcony.

The woman was beyond saving. The succulents were on the verge of dying from lack of water.

In the next second, he seemed to smell something and froze. He looked towards the direction of the door where the sound came from.

The door opened.

He let out a howl, shook his head, and used his weak limbs to desperately rush towards the entrance.

The Alpha.

That was the scent of the Alpha.

Even though he had concealed the scent well, he could still smell it.

He suddenly stopped in the hallway.

Gu Wen stood at the doorway, looking down at him.

Gray Tail also saw Shang Xi.

He thought about what he had done before and didn't know how to face Shang Xi and the Alpha.

He lowered his ears and tail, softly whimpering, "Awoo... Woo..."

Gu Wen tugged at his lips, feeling somewhat pleased. "You look spirited."

Gray Tail looked at the Alpha, confused.

Gu Wen ignored him and turned his gaze to Zhou Ziyou, saying earnestly, "Thank you."

"No, no, it was him who saved me and got injured in the process."

Shang Xi stared at Gray Tail without blinking, murmuring softly, "You're alive, that's great. You saved my best friend. I won't blame you for what happened before. Let's start over."

Gray Tail was stunned.

Were Shang Xi and this plump woman friends?

Was she no longer angry?

The Alpha... didn't seem angry either.

Gray Tail, with its dark and gloomy wolf eyes, looked at Shang Xi's forehead, which was now smooth and unblemished. Was her injury completely healed?

It didn't take long before the wolfmen from Nanfeng Courtyard arrived.

Zhou Ziyou had owned this house for two years, but it had never been so lively and crowded before.

She watched the excited wolfmen surrounding Gray Tail, wagging their tails and ears, howling non-stop. Although she couldn't understand them, she could tell that these wolfmen were happy.

Shang Xi stood at the door, smiling gently as she watched the scene, then turned and went downstairs.

The sky grew dark, and her son was asleep in the car.

Right now, all she wanted was to see her precious baby.

Dai Cen was guarding the young master and nodded slightly when he saw her. "Miss Shang."

Shang Xi smiled at him and got into the car.

Baby Shang was still sleeping. After drinking from the cold spring every night, he no longer frowned in pain while sleeping. His eyes were closed in deep slumber, his long eyelashes drooping, and his small lips pursed.

Shang Xi sat beside him, gazing at her son for a while.

Then she moved closer, leaning towards him, and whispered softly, "Little one, mommy is no longer a 'criminal'."

She blinked her eyes, and her eye sockets reddened.

"In five months, we'll be able to go home, back to our own home. Is that okay?"

"Your daddy is much richer than me, Little Sweet Bean. Will you still be willing to come home with mommy then?"

Not long after Shang Xi went downstairs, Gu Wen, whom she had not seen for a while, also left.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he heard a familiar voice of a woman, speaking gently and tenderly, but also sounding tired and weak. It entered his ears.

He paused slightly.

His hand at his side involuntarily clenched.

Five months, what five months? Shang Xi was still thinking about leaving after five months.

Gu Wen stood still in the elevator, his tall figure motionless. Somehow, he was feeling very upset now.

Shang Xi's whispering voice continued to reach his ears.

"Little one, are you happy today? Did he show you the world?"

"You really like him, don't you? Want to stay with him? After all, he is your father. I don't want to deprive you of your happiness..." Her voice grew even softer, and she said something that Gu Wen desperately wanted to hear. In that moment, he urgently opened up his senses, and suddenly, the sounds from three hundred kilometers away flooded into his mind.

The sudden noise assaulted his ears, causing him pain, and he frowned and groaned.

At the same time, he caught Shang Xi's voice in his mind.

He caught her almost inaudible words.

"...He hates pure humans, and he hates mommy too."

Gu Wen's heart constricted heavily.

"Mommy is being a little selfish, not wanting to give you to him, so when the time comes, will you come with me, okay?"

Upstairs.

The wolfmen were about to take Gray Tail away, but for some reason, she glanced at the plump woman bustling around, pouring tea and water, and shook her head.

"Shang Xi has already forgiven you."

"She even said she wanted you to go back last time."

Black Tail couldn't help but say, "She's really good. If you dislike other pure humans, at least don't dislike her."

When they mentioned Shang Xi, they realized that she was no longer in the house.

Green Tail slowly lowered her head, thinking about her attitude towards Shang Xi during this period. Although he didn't explicitly express any resentment towards her, his evasive gaze had hurt her, hadn't it?

The other Wolfmen also thought about this and fell silent.

Shang Xi is really amazing. Even when she has free time, she tells them stories and cooks delicious food for them.

She always looks at them with a gentle and inclusive gaze, showing no fear, and she never looks disgusted at their tails.

She has completely accepted them.

But have they truly accepted her wholeheartedly?

Red Tail's eyes turned red, "I didn't go downstairs that morning to eat the food she cooked. Is Shang Xi upset?"

"I didn't go downstairs either."

"Neither did I..."

A sense of guilt crept up from the depths of their hearts, and at the same time, a determined thought emerged.

Since that day, Shang Xi felt that this group of Wolfmen was being too kind to her.

Every morning, when she got up and walked to the staircase on the second floor, the Wolfmen lying on the first floor would suddenly jump up and exclaim, "Good morning, Shang Xi!"

"Red Tail, hurry up."

With a howl, Red Tail rushed up the stairs and before Shang Xi could react, he scooped her up horizontally and carried her to the dining table, gently placing her down.

"..."

What are they doing?

The table was filled with food and juice.

"This is your human tea, this is milk, this is watermelon juice, this is warm water, and this... what would you like to drink?"

"Uh... warm water, please."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cyan Tail howled in delight, "Shang Xi wants to drink what I prepared, yay!"

"..."

Later, she casually mentioned, "Snow rabbit meat is quite delicious."

Then, two Wolfmen packed their belongings and returned to Snow Mountain, saying they would bring back snow rabbits for her.

Shang Xi had no idea where Snow Mountain was or how far it was, but she didn't see the Wolfmen returning with snow rabbits until three months later.

"..."

She had forgotten that she had said those words.
