Chapter 25

The two picked up the little one from kindergarten.

The little one looked around at his mom east and west, with his little eyebrows furrowed and eyes full of concern, and was even more clingy than usual after getting in the car, staring at her with sorrowful eyes while holding her hand.

"It's okay, mom is fine," Shang Xi patted his head.

They arrived at Nanyifeng Garden.

She was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic werewolves again, just like in the morning, giving her little gifts.

In the morning, after she got dressed and came out of the room, she was startled by a group of enthusiastic werewolves.

The werewolves felt very sorry for Gray Tail's actions yesterday, tails drooping and big ears sagging. They apologized to her while giving her small gifts.

Shang Xi felt warm and fuzzy inside. Gray Tail's appearance did scare her a little last night, but looking at Black Tail and Red Tail now, she didn't feel afraid at all.

Black Tail pointed at the top of his head and let out a howl.

The lights came on at his command.

"Look! Shang Xi, the mansion is now as bright as daylight everywhere, no more dark and gloomy places, and if you get hungry, just call me and we'll bring you food."

Now, because of Gray Tail's actions, the werewolves felt apologetic and were extra nice to Shang Xi, even ignoring Gu Wen next to them.

Gu Wen didn't say much. He went straight to the dining table and sat down quietly watching their excitement.

He saw that Black Tail's tail was almost wagging out afterimages.

Gu Wen, who had originally planned to mimic the werewolf pack: ......

Tsk.

There are many ways to express friendliness and affection.

I don't need to learn this kind of method.

However, seeing the woman surrounded and laughing so happily, Gu Wen pursed his lips for a moment, then he averted his gaze.

He couldn't do it.

Wagging tails and ears, acting cute and coy like Black Tail and the others, what's that about? All he could do was change his facial expressions, speaking manners, and tone of voice.

But just that, after three days, was brought up by Shang Xi who couldn't take it anymore.

After feeding the cub cold spring water in the quiet hallway.

"Mr. Gu, just tell me directly if you have a problem with me!"

Gu Wen frowned slightly: "What are you talking about?"

Shang Xi twitched her lips: "Isn't that so? Since that night when we talked it out, every time you see me, you have that mocking expression. Is there anything I haven't expressed clearly?"

?

Gu Wen was silent.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of look is that? When they treat you like that and you laugh, it's fine, but when I treat you like that it's a mocking expression?"

So he thought his attempt at friendly smiles these past few days looked mocking to her?

Gu Wen felt embarrassed and angry for a moment, and left.

Shang Xi stayed behind, completely confused.

Everything was fine, why did he suddenly mention Black Tail and the others?

However, after that night, Gu Wen resumed his usual aloof expression, no longer greeting her in that strange, upbeat voice, and no longer smiling mockingly with twisted lips.

Shang Xi was much more comfortable with this version of him.

At the same time, apart from Gu Wen, her relationship with the other werewolves in the mansion got even better.

When Shang Xi didn't work overtime.

On this day, the two went again to pick up the child after school.

After getting in the car.

Gu Wen and the cub unconsciously looked towards Shang Xi's pocket.

The next second, as if by magic, Shang Xi took out a fresh, tender flower from her bag, "Here, this is the freshest little flower from the shop today."

Gu Wen thought, today it's a sunflower.

Every day this woman would take a flower from the shop when picking up their child, all kinds of flowers, seeming to pick randomly each day, and she'd say the same thing: "This is the freshest from the shop today...."

Baby Shang carefully held the plump sunflower, and his little lips curved up slightly: "Thank you, mom."

What flower would mom prepare tomorrow?

Baby Shang looked forward to it.

Gu Wen's gaze lowered lightly, and he also casually wondered, what flower would this woman prepare tomorrow?

After arriving at Nanyifeng Garden.

Shang Xi was surrounded by the wolf pack again, ignoring Gu Wen.

In the past, as soon as Gu Wen entered the mansion, the werewolves would crowd around him, calling him Master. But now, because of Shang Xi's storytelling, they quickly shifted allegiance to Shang Xi.

He didn't actually need that crowd, it was annoying. He just felt humiliated! These tribesmen were humiliating him.

No backbone, this woman merely told some stories and grasped them all.

"Shang Xi, are you working overtime today?"

"Yeah yeah, are you telling stories today?"

Shang Xi replied: "If nothing unexpected happens, no overtime. The shop isn't busy right now."

The werewolves cheered.

But Gu Wen narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

The shop not being busy meant no business, no money earned.

Did this woman seem to lack money?

Thinking of the card he didn't give out, Gu Wen clicked his tongue. She didn't want it herself, he couldn't be blamed.

He certainly wouldn't take the initiative to give her money to spend.

But that night, looking at the circle of werewolves outside the window, the woman smiled gently, her long hair blown gently by the wind.

Gu Wen stared at her for a long time for no reason.

Green Tail stayed close, and the woman's strands of hair brushed over his clothes again and again.

Hmm...

Gu Wen was inexplicably angry.

Oh well, he just didn't want to see the werewolves looking pathetic.

So...

The next day.

Although it wasn't a special holiday, the flower shops owned by Shang Xi were incredibly busy.

Turns out a company in Qingcheng City had placed a large order, and she was too busy to handle it alone, so Red Tail and Blue Tail came to the shop to help out.

Shang Xi naturally wouldn't let them help for free - she would pay them wages and taught them the simple parts, while she busied herself nonstop with flower arrangements.

She thought it would just be for that one day, but for the next week,

Almost every day companies came to place orders, and Shang Xi earned so much money her hands were sore, working overtime every day, and no longer had time to sit on the lawn and tell stories.
