She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 41

Chapter 41

After confirming that Gray Tail was still alive, the wolfmen were overjoyed, but they felt even more guilty towards Shang Xi.

They became even more enthusiastic towards her than before, which made Shang Xi feel apprehensive.

With two fewer wolfmen in the house now because of her casual remark about how tasty snow rabbit meat was that morning, they packed their bags and returned to Snow Mountain. When they reported back to Gu Wen, Shang Xi thought Gu Wen would object. After all, if fallen wolfmen came to Qingcheng, they would have to go out and capture them late at night. Even though they seemed unoccupied most of the time, when real trouble arose, they must be indispensable, right?

But to her surprise, Gu Wen simply said, "Go ahead, and bring back more."

?

She was about to say that she didn't really want to eat it, but the two wolfmen who had been given permission had already vanished in a flash.

At that time, she didn't yet know they would be gone for three months.

Last night, when she left with You You.

She and Gu Wen went back together, and after Gu Wen got into the car, he sat opposite her, staring at her with a gaze she couldn't understand for a long time.

The dark eyes no longer held the fierce chill or the mocking sneer of the past.

The heart of a wolf, a needle at the bottom of the sea.

She wasn't interested in what he was thinking, nor did she want to stare at him for too long. She didn't want this narcissistic man to misunderstand her again.

She just tilted her head, leaned gently against her son's side, and silently stared at the retreating scenery outside the window.

When Nanfeng Courtyard came into view, she sat up straight, and her gaze casually swept over to the opposite side, where she caught a glimpse of Gu Wen looking somewhat disheveled, quickly averting his gaze.

Did this man stare at her the whole way?

Silent, lost in thought?

Shang Xi furrowed her brows slightly and looked at him slowly, "Do you have something to say?"

"No." Gu Wen undid his seatbelt, not looking at her, and said, "There are flowers from Snow Mountain in the trunk."

"Huh?" Shang Xi was taken aback, unable to keep up with his train of thought. What flowers? Who prepared them?

Why prepare flowers?

Her hesitant gaze fell on Gu Wen, and her expression gradually became terrified, "It wouldn't be you preparing..."

"You're overthinking it." Gu Wen saw her expression and instinctively curled his lips, "It's brought back by the cub."

As soon as she heard it was brought back by her own cub, Shang Xi relaxed and smiled slightly, "I see."

That's more like it. If that lonely wolf prepared flowers for her, just thinking about it would scare her, giving her goosebumps.

Seeing her change in expression before and after, Gu Wen frowned slightly. What does this woman mean?

Was indeed brought back by the cub, but what if it was brought back by him? What was her expression just now?

It was like she had seen a monster.

Ignoring the discomfort in his heart, Gu Wen got out of the car and gently picked up the sleeping cub. He should have gone straight into the house without looking back.

But inexplicably, he stopped and saw Shang Xi walking towards the trunk.

The trunk slowly opened, a chill emanating from it, and Shang Xi saw a large white box inside, with a faint fragrance wafting out.

"Mr. Gu, are the flowers inside here?"

"Yeah."

Shang Xi opened it eagerly, and as soon as she did, the chill intensified, leaving her stunned.

"Wow... so beautiful."

Clusters of white flowers surrounded by ice, each blossom delicate and vibrant, their fragrance more intense in the cold air.

“This... What kind of flower is this? I've never seen it before,” Shang Xi murmured. “So beautiful... just like snow.”

Gu Wen stood beside her, five meters away, holding a cub and watching her.

The woman wore a black and white corset dress, slightly bending over, the hem of the skirt gently lifting, accentuating her slender waist. When she lowered her head to smell the flowers, her chin looked even more pointed.

Gu Wen's throat involuntarily rolled, "Snow Mountain flower, called Snowfall."

"Snowfall? Such a nice name," Shang Xi said, turning her head suddenly, looking at him with smiling eyes.

Gu Wen felt a strange tightness in his chest.

The next moment, he realized she was looking at the cub in his arms.

Then, Shang Xi walked towards him, lowered her gaze to kiss the cub's face, and softly said, "Thank you, little one. Mommy likes it very much."

Gu Wen's body went numb.

Holding the cub, he remained motionless.

"Mr. Gu, should Snowfall be kept in ice?" She naturally lifted her gaze to look at him.

Gu Wen seemed to have just come back to his senses and nodded.

Then, he pursed his lips and turned away.

He felt something was wrong with him, an uncontrollable force was jumping wildly in his heart.

The next day at noon, Shang Xi was still busy in the flower shop when she realized there was a brown-haired boy working quietly. He had appeared in the shop at some point.

"You must be Brown Tail, right?" she asked softly.

He was the Wolfman who voluntarily left Nanfeng Courtyard when he learned that Gray Tail was still alive. After immense joy, guilt towards Shang Xi set in. After visiting Gray Tail, he clenched his fists and came to Qingfeng Flower Shop.

At this moment, Shang Xi discovered him.

He lowered his gaze, looking somewhat uneasy, and said in a gruff voice, "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you before."

Even if Shang Xi scolded him, he wouldn't say much. As the mother of the pack's cub, scolding him and forbidding him from entering Nanfeng Courtyard would be enough.

But to his surprise, Shang Xi just smiled gently, "It's okay. Gray Tail is still alive, and I'm happy about that."

Brown Tail was stunned, widened his eyes, not expecting her to be so easy-going, "You..."

"If you can't get over it, help me with a week of work. I won't pay you; after all, I was a bit sad when you left that day."

Brown Tail nodded vigorously, "I'll help you for a month, or even two years, without any pay."

Shang Xi nodded.

She lightly curved her lips, seemingly smiling warmly, but her eyes remained unchanged.

Gentle smiles were Shang Xi's best disguise. As for what she really thought, there was no need to show it.

So, the flower shop that used to be only for the three female Wolfmen, Blue Tail, Red Tail, and Shang Xi, now had an awkward boy.

He took on all the heavy work.

Nanfeng Courtyard, once quiet, now became lively again with the wolves.

They were eager to please Shang Xi, but never mentioned wanting to hear a story. If Shang Xi returned to her room early, they would be crestfallen, their ears drooping.

"Shang Xi must still not have forgiven us."

"Even if she resents us in her heart, it's deserved."

"She must be avoiding us."

The next moment, Shang Xi appeared at the staircase with a storybook in hand.

The wolfmen stood in the living room on the first floor, all looking up in unison.

Shang Xi smiled and shook the book in her hand. "Do you want to hear a story?"

The wolfmen howled in excitement, their joyful voices echoing through the air.

With a swift motion, Red Tail dashed up the stairs, scooping Shang Xi up horizontally. Howling, she tossed her up and caught her again.

"Ah, hey, hey, don't do this!" Shang Xi was genuinely frightened, quickly clinging onto her.

This way of playing with a child, it really was...

"Don't worry, I won't drop you, howl!" Red Tail carried her to the lawn, with the Black Tails happily following.

The wolf cubs sat on Green Tail's neck, tiny hands grasping at her hair. In a childish voice, they said, "You're not allowed to scare my mommy."

"Howl, listen to the cub!"

"It's okay, cub, trust us!"

They were lively on the lawn.

Meanwhile, Gu Wen struggled to focus on his work in the study. He slammed his laptop shut, leaned back, his features exuding an air of sophistication, though his expression was somewhat grim.

He was clearly agitated, but he couldn't pinpoint the source of his discontent.

He had some work that needed to be done, but now, listening to the boisterous cheers outside, he couldn't help but wonder if they were being too loud.

And did this work really have to be completed right now?

Tsk, maybe he should take a break too.

He stood up, left the study, and returned to his room.

For the first time, he relaxed his focus on work.

Ignoring the lively scene outside on the lawn, he went to the bathroom to freshen up. Afterward, he sat on the sofa.

His ears twitched.

He heard the voice of the woman telling a story.

"Once upon a time, there was a black rabbit. In front of its house was a muddy river, and across the river lay a lush green meadow. There was not as much grass on its side as there was across, but it was enough to keep it from starving.

In its boredom, it would sit at the doorstep, gazing at the mouth-watering grass on the other side, but it had never ventured into the meadow across the river."

"It turns out, the black rabbit had once seen a little mouse drown and get swept away in the river. It thought the river was deep and dangerous, and it was afraid of it."

"Whenever someone attempted to cross the river, it would rush out and shout: 'This river is dangerous, it could be fatal! Don't cross!'"

"Many small animals were deterred by this. One day, a white rabbit arrived at the riverbank. Ignoring the black rabbit's warnings, it jumped into the river, only to find the water reaching up to its neck. The white rabbit hopped across to the meadow on the other side."

"In the meadow, it rolled around, shouting to the black rabbit across: 'Come over! It won't drown you, see, I made it across!'"

"The black rabbit shook its head: 'I won't come over. I've seen a little mouse drown.'"

Black Tail couldn't help but comment when he heard this: "Is this Black Rabbit too timid? What's wrong with giving it a try?"

Sitting on the sofa, Gu Wen, upon hearing Black Tail's words, coldly tugged at his lips. He didn't think Black Rabbit was timid; what's the harm in trying? If it fails, Black Rabbit might lose its life.

Then he heard Shang Xi's voice, filled with a hint of a smile: "I don't think Black Rabbit is timid at all. It shows that it loves itself and values its life. It's not necessary for it to cross the river; it can still eat and survive on this side."

Gu Wen paused slightly, a faint surprise flashing in his deep eyes.

Red Tail howled, impatiently asking, "So in the end, did Black Rabbit go to the grassland on the other side?"

Shang Xi gently hooked her lips. "Yes, it did."

"Wow! Why? Wasn't it terrified to death?"

Shang Xi turned a page.

"Because it fell in love with White Rabbit."

"Wow!" Red Tail widened his eyes.

"Turns out, a yellow rabbit appeared on the other side of the river, and it also liked White Rabbit."

Cang Ling, upon hearing this, chuckled slowly. "So, Black Rabbit panicked."

"And in the end, did Black Rabbit end up with White Rabbit?"

Shang Xi shook her head gently. "No."

The werewolves immediately sighed, exclaimed, and felt sorrowful. "Why? It risked its life jumping into the river, why didn't White Rabbit agree to it?"

"Confessions that come too late are useless. It went too late, and White Rabbit had already fallen for the yellow rabbit."

The werewolves all expressed pity and sighed.

Shang Xi inadvertently noticed the lights in Gu Wen's room dimming, and checking the time, it was already ten o'clock.

"All right, let's end here today. Everyone, go back and rest."

She held her son's hand and returned to her room, Gu Wen holding Cold Spring, appearing at the doorway.

Shang Bao's eyes lit up. "Dad."

"Mm."

Shang Xi felt that Gu Wen had been acting strangely these past few days. He didn't leave immediately after feeding Cold Spring, unlike usual.

He actually stayed in the room for more than ten minutes before leaving.

This made her uncomfortable lying in bed, so she could only stand on the balcony and enjoy the cool breeze.

He was willing to spend more time with their son, and she didn't have any objections. However, whether it was her imagination or not, she always felt Gu Wen's gaze on her, and she resisted the urge to turn around.

It must be her imagination. Otherwise, Gu Wen wasn't crazy; why would he be watching her?

On the fourth day, Gu Wen stayed in his room again, not leaving.

Shang Xi felt that gaze again. "..."

Unable to endure it, she suddenly turned her head and saw Gu Wen calmly shifting his gaze away.

"..."

He was quite composed.

Shang Xi took out her phone and typed: "Mr. Gu, if there's something, just say it."

Always staring at her without speaking, what did that mean?

Gu Wen only saw this message when he returned to his room, and his ears were still hot from that woman's unexpected glance.

How would he know if there was something? These days, he felt like he was going crazy, just wanting to stay where the mother and son were.

?Lone Wolf?: Don't forget about the activity at the cub's school tomorrow.

Tomorrow, King's Landing Kindergarten is holding a parent-child activity, and both Gu Wen and Shang Xi have postponed their work.
