Chapter 142

After Gu Wen was discharged from the hospital, he did not go to Nanfeng Courtyard or the Gu Family Mansion anymore, but silently followed Shang Xi back to her home.

Shang Bao had started school, and Shang Xi had also started to spend more time on her work.

On the night they returned from the hospital, Gu Wen bathed the cub in the bathroom, while Shang Xi changed the bedsheets and threw them into the washing machine.

The quiet home became lively again.

Except this time, there was a big wolf added to the family.

After bathing the cub, Gu Wen led the little one to the bedroom and said at the doorway, "Alright, it's time for you to sleep."

Shang Bao hugged a rabbit plushie and frowned slightly, "Mommy will come tuck me in."

Gu Wen replied, "You'll have to get used to it, because I will be part of this home from now on."

Shang Bao looked at him and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep too?" after all, Gu Wen shared the same room as him.

Gu Wen glanced outside and said solemnly, "Your mom and I have something to discuss."

Shang Bao pursed his little lips and climbed onto the bed, placing the rabbit plushie next to the pillow.

"Is the baby going to sleep now?" Shang Xi walked over, and in the soft lighting, her baby looked adorable yet a little pitiful. After starting to sleep separately, not only the cub but Shang Xi herself had found it difficult to get accustomed.

"Mommy."

Shang Xi responded and went in, tucked the covers around her son, and leaned down to kiss his forehead, "You have to go to school tomorrow, so sleep well, good night."

Shang Bao rubbed his eyes and murmured, "Good night, Mommy."

Gu Wen leaned against the doorframe and asked, "What about me?"

Shang Bao was silent for a moment, then said, "Good night, Dad."

Gu Wen curled his lips slightly, "Good night, cub."

Shang Xi glanced at him, "You, you should sleep too, you just got out of the hospital."

Gu Wen stiffened, looking at the empty space next to the cub, then cleared his throat and took a step back, "I'm not sleepy yet."

He then turned and walked towards the living room.

Shang Xi stayed in the room for a while longer, chatting with her son, before finally stepping out and closing the door.

She looked towards the balcony, hesitated, then went over. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦

Before she even reached it, a long arm reached out and pulled her into an embrace. Gu Wen lowered his head and deeply inhaled the scent on her neck, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"Ah Shang..."

"What's wrong?" Shang Xi didn't resist, only her face showed a hint of discomfort.

"I like you." Gu Wen hugged her tightly and said softly.

"Oh..."

"Ah Shang, do you like me too?" Gu Wen asked her in a low voice, holding his breath and tensing up.

Shang Xi looked at the twinkling lights of the neighborhood and replied, "...If I didn't like you, why would I be with you?"

"Okay." Gu Wen's eyes crinkled in a smile.

Of course, with so many suitors, she had chosen him, so it must mean she liked him, right?

He just felt... like the current happiness seemed a bit unreal, and he wanted to confirm it again and again.

It was truly fortunate for a werewolf to find a mate that they mutually loved.

"Alright, you should get some rest." Shang Xi cleared her throat and said.

Gu Wen narrowed his eyes, glancing at the door to Shang Xi's room, then suddenly said, "That day in the ruins, when I was drifting in and out of consciousness, I think I heard you say... my pure black fur looks beautiful?"

Shang Xi's body stiffened.

"Ah Shang, do you want to touch it?" Gu Wen asked.

Shang Xi's face flushed with embarrassment, and she stammered, "That... that was just..."

In the next moment, she was swept up into his arms, and Gu Wen said, "From now on, you can touch it as much as you like."

He then tossed his coat onto Shang Xi's head, briefly obscuring her vision, and the sound of bones crackling could be heard.

"You're not going to..."

Sure enough, Gu Wen had transformed into his pure wolf form.

The massive black wolf made the room feel a bit cramped. Shang Xi sat on the bed, pushing the coat off her head and looking up at the giant wolf.

The wolf leaned down and licked her face.

Shang Xi stood up, and the wolf used its tail to hook her, gently nudging her body with its head. Shang Xi's hands sank into the warm, soft fur, and the sensation was simply wonderful.

She was entranced.

The giant fluffy creature was right in front of her, and if this were a plushie, she would have hugged it tightly without a second thought, even climbed on top of it...
