She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 54

Chapter 54

The time went back to the afternoon.

Watching Shang Xi's taxi leave, Gu Wen stood in the same spot for a long time in silence. Eventually, he carried the cub and went back to Nanfeng Courtyard.

He kept telling himself that going on dates was Shang Xi's freedom, and not coming home for the night was also her freedom.

During dinner, his mind was in chaos and he couldn't help but wonder what Shang Xi was doing now. Was she dining with that pure human? Were they sitting very close to each other?

"Master, where did Shang Xi go?" Black Tail asked.

"Yeah, why didn't she come back with you?"

Before Gu Wen could speak, the cub had already opened his mouth, "My mom went on a date! To live the life of an adult!"

Well, he didn't really understand what the nightlife of adults was actually about. But as long as his mom was happy and wanted to go, nothing else mattered.

As soon as the cub's words came out, the hall instantly quieted down.

What? A date?

The life of an adult?

They looked at each other in dismay and glanced at the master.

No wonder the master came back with a cold face and just sat there silently, the terrifying pressure radiating from him made them feel uneasy and anxious, very uncomfortable.

The master must really care, right?

At 8 pm, the wolfmen nervously accompanied the cub to play while the master sat alone on the sofa, silent like a statue.

At 9 pm, Gu Wen took the cub back to the room, gave him a bath, and transformed him into a pure wolf cub. The little wolf cub swam around happily in the bathtub, swinging his little tail and splashing water everywhere. It was Gu Wen's first time giving the cub a bath. He stood by the side looking very silly with his clothes half soaked.

The troublemaker was the little wolf cub swimming around in the tub.

But Gu Wen seemed unaffected. His lips were pursed tight, his eyes dazed and silent.

The cub's little paws grabbed the edge of the bathtub as he stared at his dad curiously. He felt like his dad had lost his soul.

"Awuu...awuu?" The cub let out a soft, questioning howl.

His dad was like he didn't hear it at all, not even blinking his eyes once.

The cub opened his mouth, revealing his little sharp teeth, and howled louder, "Awuuu!!"

Only then did Gu Wen return to his senses. His dark eyes fell on the cub, "Done?" He took a towel and wrapped up the wolf cub to dry his fur, then gently blew it dry with a hairdryer.

The comfortable little wolf cub laid still and let his dad blow dry his short fur.

Then in human form, he put on little bunny pajamas, drank wolf milk powder and cold spring, yawned and was ready to sleep.

Gu Wen sat in a chair by the bed, wanting to stay with the cub until he fell asleep.

It was already 10 pm.

But Shang Xi still hadn't returned!

After the cub fell asleep, Gu Wen didn't know how he managed to leave the room filled with her scent.

Downstairs, Cang Ling was drinking again.

Without a word, Gu Wen also went downstairs and sat next to him.

It was almost 10:30 pm. When would Shang Xi come back? Would she come back at all?

He was struggling to maintain his outward calm and indifference. Strong anxiety and incredulity made him alarmed and uneasy.

His sickness acted up again.

Right now, he just wanted to go bring Shang Xi back, to a place he could keep within sight, it seemed only then would his sickness get better.

Cang Ling took a sip of wine and suddenly spoke, "Master, I really envy you, your mate is still alive."

Gu Wen didn't answer him.

Cang Ling didn't mind. Lost in intoxication, he had a vision of that gentle and well-educated young lady from a prominent family. She turned her head and softly called his name: Cang Ling.

Cang Ling's eyes brimmed with laughter as he grunted in response.

But no matter how hard he tried, the corners of his lips just wouldn't curve up. Instead they tugged downwards into an expression of sorrow.

The pain was too much. He couldn't even force a smile for her.

In the end, he made a smile sadder than crying.

"Master, pure humans are so fragile. They have short lifespans, weak immune systems, get sick easily, can't jump or climb, have no fangs or claws, and will get injured from the slightest bump. "

As he spoke, Cang Ling looked at Gu Wen, "If you don't pay enough attention, they can lose their lives so easily. Sometimes, one second they're still smiling at you, and the next second, they're gone forever."

Gu Wen's pupils shrank as his heart felt gripped by an invisible big hand.

"Most of us wolfmen never encounter a deeply loved mate in our lifetime. If we miss the chance, it would be even more painful than death."

Gu Wen shut his eyes tight.

That river appeared before him again.

He resolutely jumped down into it.

The black rabbit had fallen for the white rabbit.

He had gone crazy and panicked. He couldn't control anything anymore. He just wanted to drive away the yellow rabbit and be with the white rabbit.

The night wind blew as the time neared 11 pm. The nightlife of this city was just beginning.

The tall wolfman stood outside the gates of Nanfeng Courtyard, closed his eyes, and unleashed his sense of hearing. All at once, deafening, piercing sounds assaulted him and he frowned, his forehead quickly beading with cold sweat. Amidst the unimaginably chaotic and painful mix of noise, he caught the familiar voice.

"Eat... mm, is it tasty?"

"Don't cry, you can eat my phone too."

For a moment, Gu Wen thought he had misheard.

As his car wove through the streets, the woman's voice grew clearer.

"Here... try chewing on this wine glass, nice and crisp."

"Not tasty? Wanna try the popcorn then?"

"..."

Gu Wen's brows furrowed as his car slowly stopped in front of a quiet bar. He shut off his sense of hearing. The surroundings were just too noisy, his face somewhat pale.

Following her scent, he could find which private room Shang Xi was in, but he didn't want to intrude uninvited. He was afraid Shang Xi would get angry...

So he took out his phone to call her.

From the voice on the phone and the meaning of the words, Sister Dao immediately guessed what was going on.

"Are you Baby Shang's cheap dad?"

The voice on the other end instantly became wary and cold, "Who are you?"

"Dao Luo, aka Sister Dao, Shang Xi's friend, Baby Shang's auntie. Got it, Mr. Gu?" The tone of Sister Dao's last words was almost through gritted teeth.

There was silence on the phone for a second before the voice replied again, strangely milder than before, "Hello, I'm Shang Xi's father, Gu Wen."

"All of Qingcheng knows about Mr. Gu, I didn't expect you to personally come fetch our baby yourself!"

Gu Wen didn't get the sarcasm in her words and earnestly replied, "It's very late, I've come as the father of the cub to take her home."

Sister Dao gave a cold laugh. "Then dare I ask Mr. Gu, how come you've never shown up before as the father of the cub?"

Only then did Gu Wen detect the accusation in her words, that she was questioning his years of absence. He was ready to accept interrogation from Shang Xi and her friends.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shang Xi's voice from the phone, "I should go home now, my baby's gonna cry."

With a sardonic smile, Sister Dao said, "There's someone called [Lone Wolf] calling you, saying he's here to pick you up."

Then Gu Wen heard Shang Xi's voice, "Ha? Lone wolf? Who knows what that thing is, tell him to scram quickly."

The lone wolf about to get chased off: ......

He pressed his lips in a tight line.

Someone asked me why the female leads in my stories all have tragic family backgrounds and sad lives. It's because: there are always some who are happy, and some who are not. I don't have it in my heart to love and care for happy female leads, they don't need my love anymore. I want to give happiness to the unhappy ones. Having this kind of superpower as a creator is my honor and joy.
