Chapter 57
One o'clock in the morning.
The tall werewolf, with ears and tail exposed, carried the slender woman in white horizontally and walked towards [Nanfeng Courtyard].
[Nanfeng Courtyard] was very quiet.
Lying asleep drunk on the living room sofa was the bearded and scarred wolf Cang Ling.
[Gu Wen] carried [Shang Xi] past, going upstairs.
Cang Ling turned over with his nose twitching, a satisfied smile on his face as he talked in his sleep: "Yuan Jing, you've come to see me again... I can even smell your scent..."
Upstairs.
[Shang Xi]'s room.
On the big bed was a wolf cub wearing bunny pajamas. He had tucked himself under the covers with only his fair, round "steamed bun" face and the furry little wolf ears on top of his head poking out. His two little hands were placed on either side of his head, and he pursed his little lips, breathing lightly as he slept.
His sleeping position wasn't very proper, but it showed how relaxed and carefree he was.
[Gu Wen] carried [Shang Xi] into the room.
The cub's nose twitched and he rolled over, rubbing his eyes with one hand and suddenly sitting up, "Mommy."
"Shhh, don't make noise." [Gu Wen] carried [Shang Xi] to the bedside, took off her shoes for her, and let her sleep like that.
Things like taking a bath and changing clothes, his face flushed as he thought, it wasn't his turn yet.
The cub wasn't allowed either.
"She's asleep, you should sleep too."
[Baby Shang] stared at his mother for a while, nose twitching.
Seeing this, [Gu Wen] said, "If you can't stand the smell of alcohol, come sleep with me in my room."
[Baby Shang] shook his head. He crawled to the nightstand, took out some wet wipes, and wiped his mother's neck and hands.
There, all better, he pursed his lips in satisfaction and burrowed under the covers, staying very close to his mother.
[Gu Wen] carried over a small box, placing it down gently nearby.
"This is cash for your mother."
"Oh." [Baby Shang] stretched out his little hand to feel his mother's forehead, as if to check if she had a fever. "Bye bye, Dad."
He yawned, his long eyelashes slowly covering his big dark eyes.
[Gu Wen] looked at the mother and son for a while before leaving.
The next day.
When [Shang Xi] woke up, it was already nine o'clock.
She pressed her fingertips to her brow and sat up in bed.
Not far away on the sofa, [Baby Shang] who had been seriously taking apart a toy, looked up. He tossed the toy aside and slid off the sofa. His little legs trotted over to the bedside, tail wagging, "Mommy!"
He leaned on the bed, tail swaying as he looked up at [Shang Xi], big wet eyes shining brightly.
[Shang Xi] picked up her phone to check the time and smiled at her son, stroking his hair, "Have you had breakfast?"
"Mm-hmm! Lamb for breakfast today. Is Mommy hungry?"
"I'm fine." [Shang Xi]'s gaze suddenly landed on the silver box beside her. "What's that?"
[Baby Shang] immediately turned around. His little hands pried open the box enthusiastically, "Mommy look!"
Inside the box was a tidy stack of brand new cash, piled neatly one on top of another. [Shang Xi] was taken aback.
She was inexperienced, this was her first time seeing so much cash in one box.
"Daddy also gave this to you!" [Baby Shang] picked up the black wallet on the nightstand.
[Shang Xi] frowned. Some unpleasant memories she didn't want to revisit floated up in her mind just then.
She couldn't remember the details clearly anymore. It seemed that she had wanted to raise a dog, and Gu Wen had given her money and told her to go ahead.
"..."
[Shang Xi] never imagined that after a night of drinking, she would end up discussing raising dogs with Gu Wen!
And Gu Wen had agreed!
Raising dogs in [Nanfeng Courtyard], a place full of werewolves, how miserable would those poor dogs be! It was simply insane.
"Mommy, Daddy said that after you woke up, we would go out and play."
But that outing ultimately never happened.
Because [Shang Xi] got sick.
