Six o'clock.
Shang Xi closed the door, preparing to buy some clothes to wear. Her son Baby Shang is transferring to a new kindergarten tomorrow, and she wanted to dress properly.
It’s best to ask friends with good taste to go shopping for clothes together, otherwise it’s easy to make mistakes.
Nan Si had already taken her children home, and it was inconvenient for her to call out with two kids.
Just then, her most carefree single friend called.
"Sa Sa, where are you? I heard you moved, how come you didn't tell me?"
Only then did Shang Xi remember that the events of these past few days were like a dream, and she had forgotten to tell her friends about the move.
She had just mentioned it in passing to Nan Si earlier that Baby Shang's father had shown up at the door and they had moved, but didn't say much else.
The Wolfman clan has a special identity, Black Tail and the others must not want their true identities to be told.
This matter, it was really inconvenient for her to talk about.
Twenty minutes later.
Shang Xi parked the car and walked over hand in hand with her son to meet her friend on Qingye Street.
This street was the first choice for women in Qing City to buy clothes. The whole street sold clothes, gathering nationally famous brands. The first half of the street had affordable clothes, and they got more expensive as you went further back.
From afar, she saw a woman in a skirt running over, "Baby Shang!! Come, auntie hug."
Baby Shang let her hug him, pursed his little lips, and called her, "Auntie."
"You're better now? Great! You conquered the demon of illness, from now on, you will be invincible!"
Shang Xi laughed when she heard this.
Her friend, Zhou Ziyou, she had known since elementary school. Zhou Ziyou was the name she chose for herself. She was now a full-time comic artist, quite accomplished, and had already bought a car and a house in Qing City.
"You're still laughing," Ziyou glanced at her, "You moved without telling me? Our little boat of friendship has capsized."
"Don't be angry, I was wrong."
As they spoke, they started walking.
Shang Xi told her what had happened these past few days, except for the wolfman part.
After listening, Zhou Ziyou was dumbfounded: "Are you making up a comic here? I'm the comic artist! The child's father showed up, you moved, transferred schools, all this in just a few days?"
"Who is that man? How did he find you? Does he want to take away the child? What's he like?"
Just as Shang Xi was about to speak, she saw on the big screen of the building across the street, a group of men in suits walking, led by someone who looked very familiar.
She pointed in that direction, "Look, that's him."
Zhou Ziyou followed her gaze, and on the zebra crossing stood the figure of a man in his fifties.
"Ha????" She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.
Shang Xi clicked her tongue, simply reached out and lifted her chin up, "Look up, at the big screen. See who Baby Shang looks like."
The son looked very much like Gu Wen. Shang Xi watched Gu Wen walking on the big screen, seemingly attending some business event. The dazzling lights shone on him, his icy eyes looked upturned, and his thin lips were pursed tightly.
"See it now?"
Zhou Ziyou: "I'm not wearing my glasses!"
Shang Xi: "..."
"Hold on, let me put on my glasses," she fished out her glasses from her bag, put them on, and took a careful look. She screamed.
"Fuck! That's that Gu...Gu...Gu Wen from the Gu family?" She stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Shang Xi clicked her tongue again. She simply lifted her friend's chin higher. "Look up, at the big screen. See who Baby Shang looks like."
The son looked very much like Gu Wen. Shang Xi watched Gu Wen walking on the big screen, seemingly attending some business event. The dazzling lights shone on him, his icy eyes looked upturned, and his thin lips were pursed tightly.
"See it now?"
Zhou Ziyou gaped. "The online rumors are true?"
"Looks like...it is so."
Zhou Ziyou's expression changed slightly: "How does he treat you? Don't tell me... did he force you to go with him?" Worry flowed in her eyes.
"No, not at all," seeing her friend overthinking, she weighed her words and said, "He came because the child was sick. He has doctors who can cure Baby Shang's illness."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought how you could move so quickly."
Knowing that Shang Xi and her son were safe, Zhou Ziyou was relieved. She then started helping Shang Xi pick out clothes in the store.
After buying clothes and eating something, it was nine o'clock at night.
They went their separate ways back home.
Shang Xi buckled her seat belt and drove back.
Baby Shang was sitting in the child safety seat, asleep.
She gently picked up her son and got out of the car, carrying a few bags in one hand. Before she even entered the great hall, the wolfmen's howls came.
"She's back! Shang Xi is back! Awoo!"
"Master, Shang Xi is back!"
"Master, don't worry anymore."
Shang Xi faintly heard Gu Wen say "Shut up."
She felt a little like laughing. Gu Wen would worry about her? He was probably worried about his cub.
She had to feed Baby Shang the cold spring water.
Red Tail took Shang Xi's bags, turned around and bounced back, "The cub is asleep, shhh!!"
Instantly, the great hall quieted down.
Shang Xi held her child and threaded through the wolfmen. She didn't make a sound, just smiled and nodded in greeting.
When she passed Gu Wen sitting on the sofa, she thought of how this man was her big landlord collecting her rent, so she should be more tactful. She also smiled and nodded to greet him.
Gu Wen smelled a pure natural floral scent, this woman went to the flower shop today, the smell wasn't too unpleasant.
The next second, he saw the woman turn her head to look at him, revealing a smile. Her eyes were curved, as if containing tenderness.
Gu Wen paused, and directly averted his gaze.
This woman, she was showing goodwill again.
If Shang Xi knew Gu Wen's thoughts, she would probably spit blood.
Not long after she entered the room, Gu Wen came in with the cold spring water. Smelling the cold spring, the cub started drinking it.
Shang Xi tactfully kept her distance.
She really didn't want to accidentally touch this wolf again and get coldly glared at.
Gu Wen glanced at her lightly and asked, "You don't have clothes to wear?"
"Huh?"
But Gu Wen only said this one sentence and left.
This woman was going to buy clothes so late at night, he shouldn't have asked something so obvious.
Only the next morning did Shang Xi understand the meaning behind Gu Wen's words, when a fashion designer came to take measurements of her and her son, then added her WeChat and left. In the afternoon the designer sent over dozens of sketches, asking which style of clothing she liked.
Shang Xi picked out a few she liked.
Well, another day of riding on her son's coattails.
Today was Baby Shang's first day transferring to the new kindergarten. Shang Xi delayed opening her shop, and Gu Wen delayed work. They tacitly agreed to take their son to kindergarten together.
Baby Shang wore a white shirt inside, with a little black jacket outside, little white pants. This was the school uniform of Junting Kindergarten. His little tie was tied.
Being at home, he was very relaxed, his furry little ears poking out on top of his head. His cold little dumpling face looked even more adorable.
Shang Xi wore the skirt she bought yesterday, gritting her teeth to spend 2,500 yuan on it. It was a sky blue V-neck long skirt, cinched at the waist, length to her knees.
She had light makeup on, her long black hair in gentle curls. Her exquisite beautiful features were like a blooming flower. She was 1.73 meters tall, slim waist and long legs. She wore a pair of thin high heels. As she held her son's hand and walked downstairs step by step, she was like a fairy descending to earth, stunning the wolfmen.
"Among pure humans, Shang Xi is quite beautiful! What do they call them, goddesses?" Black Tail exclaimed.
Red Tail: "No kidding, with her looks she's also one of the most beautiful even for our wolf clan!! Wooo the cub is too cute!"
Green Tail stroked his chin: "Comparable to White Tail? I haven't even seen White Tail."
"How dare she compare with White Tail? White Tail is a hundred times more beautiful than her!" A wolfman with grayish black ears scoffed.
Green Tail scratched his head: "Oh, have you seen White Tail? Come to think of it, Gray Tail, you haven't been downstairs these days."
Gray Tail spoke coldly: "You think I'm the same as you guys?"
"What?" Green Tail was a little confused.
As Shang Xi walked down the stairs, she saw the werewolves lift their heads and look towards the top of the stairs, "Master of the house, good morning Master!"
"Master! Good morning!"
Shang Xi looked back over her shoulder.
Gu Wen was wearing a black suit and happened to lower his head just then.
The two of them stood there, one at the top of the stairs on the second floor, and one at the bottom on the first floor, and their eyes met.
Shang Xi smiled lightly, which served as a greeting.
She didn't know just how beautiful that smile of hers was.
Gu Wen's jet-black eyes seemed bewitched as they stared intently at her. In the next moment, instead of coming down the stairs as he was supposed to, he turned and left, disappearing from everyone's sight.
He pushed open the door to the room next to him and strode inside. At the sink, he looked in the mirror and saw that two black furry ears had already started popping out from the top of his head, beyond his control.
He had actually lost control.
He stared fixedly at the ears in the mirror, his chiseled face clouded over, he had...just because that woman had smiled at him, he lost control.
Ever since getting injured that one time when he was small, all these years he had kept his ears and tail hidden. He didn't want humans to see them anymore. Later, when he had to interact with pure humans at the company, he was on high alert at all times.
He couldn't relax for even a moment, and over time, it became habitual.
Even when he returned to the mansion where everyone was of his clan, he still wouldn't reveal them.
And now, just because that woman had smiled at him, he lost control.
Gu Wen's face burned.
Early in the morning, that Shang Xi woman was making overtures at him again.
