Chapter 29

Chapter 29

When Shang Xi finished speaking, the flowers were also moved.

"Let's wash our hands over here."

Shang Xi led the way, and the man followed behind her with a tall and composed figure and a calm expression.

As he walked through the bustling human market, beneath his handsome eyebrows, a pair of pitch-black eyes devoid of the warmth typically found in humans gleamed like cold ice.

His extraordinary temperament attracted the attention of many passersby.

He furrowed his brows slightly, clearly not liking this place.

He disliked being stared at.

The hunting habits of the Wolfman race destined them to be more suited for dark and hidden places, cautious and fierce.

As he washed his hands, Shang Xi's mood became somewhat complicated.

As the person in control of such a vast business empire in the human world, he was actually moving flowers for her in this dirty and disorderly environment.

He had no cleanliness obsession, no airs of a wealthy person.

Come to think of it, he wasn't a pure human after all.

He was a Wolfman.

She shouldn't consider him a human anymore.

"Thank you so much for today," Shang Xi said sincerely.

Gu Wen glanced at her lightly and said, "You can call me if you need anything in the future."

He meant it. This woman was the mother of his cub, and as long as it didn't involve physical contact or emotional matters, he would be willing to help.

That was his responsibility.

Shang Xi casually nodded and said, "Thank you, let's go."

Seeing her reaction, it was clear that she didn't take it seriously or didn't care, nor would she consider it.

Gu Wen pursed his lips slightly.

He didn't say anything else.

Whether in the Wolf clan or the human world, his identity was only good for others to flatter him, look up to him, and treat him well.

She was the only exception, merely the mother of his cub.

His gaze fell on a mud stain on his black shirt, and his expression grew even more indifferent.

In fact, Shang Xi had indeed taken it as a polite remark.

It was almost seven o'clock, and she still had to deliver flowers to two other shops.

But what about Gu Wen? Should she drop him off at Nanfeng Courtyard first? There wouldn't be enough time. Should she let him take a taxi back?

None of the options seemed right, just as Shang Xi was feeling conflicted.

Dai Cen appeared.

He smiled and greeted her, "Miss Shang."

Shang Xi was surprised, "Mr. Dai, when did you arrive?"

"A while ago."

Gu Wen's gaze lingered on Shang Xi for a moment, then he stepped forward and said softly, "Let's go."

"Yes, well, Miss Shang, goodbye then."

Shang Xi watched the backs of the two as they left, and then she got into her car.

She was being foolish. Gu Wen came as a driver when he had something to say, to do his duty. Now that he had said what he needed to, naturally, he wouldn't squeeze into a small car with her to go back.

She started the car and busied herself with her own affairs.

In the end, he said, "You are my Wolf Cub, and you are the most important."

Baby Shang murmured slowly in response.

He couldn't quite pinpoint what felt strange, but he somehow didn't quite like it. He ate the food on his plate and didn't touch the rest.

After the meal.

Gu Wen took Baby Shang to the house for a stroll.

In the backyard, he pointed to a cleared patch of land and asked the young cub, "Do you like peaches? I've decided to plant eight trees here, and in a year, you'll be able to eat them. The peach seedlings will arrive soon. Do you want to give it a try yourself?"

"Wow!" Baby Shang's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

A slight smile curved Gu Wen's lips as he gently stroked the cub's fuzzy hair.

"Whatever you like, I can give it to you."

Baby Shang pointed to the empty land beside them and asked, "Dad, can we plant oranges here? Mom loves to eat them!"

Gu Wen's gaze dimmed slightly. He made a sound of agreement, "Yes."

Baby Shang happily ran over, saying, "Can we plant lychees here? And grapes over there? Mom loves to eat them."

Gu Wen, not particularly interested, glanced at the empty land Baby Shang was pointing at and said, "Plant more of what you like to eat."

Whatever fruits Shang Xi liked to eat, they were readily available on the streets. If she wished, he could buy her a lifetime supply of fruits that she couldn't finish eating.

But in the backyard of Nanfeng Courtyard, where this Wolf Clan resided, he preferred to plant more of the fruits that his cub liked to eat.

Baby Shang was a slightly sensitive child. He was polite to unfamiliar people and would roar angrily at anyone he perceived as a threat to his mom. In the presence of certain special fathers, he found it difficult to determine his own position.

He thought his request was excessive and sighed, "I'll just plant a few peach trees then. Thank you, Dad."

But now he had peaches while Mom had nothing.

All along, whatever Mom had, he had too.

Now he had something that Mom didn't have.

He felt like saying that he didn't want to plant peaches anymore.

Then he heard his father's deep voice from above, as if compromising, "How about planting oranges for your mom here?"

Baby Shang's eyes brightened, and his fuzzy hair on top of his head swayed, "Great! Thank you, Dad!"

Gu Wen played with the cub for a while longer, and when the clock pointed to twelve noon, a friend called.

He looked down and asked the cub, "We're going out for a meal to meet Dad's friends. Would you like to come along?"

Baby Shang pursed his little lips and said, "But I want to go to the store with Mom."

He had been with Dad for so long already.

Gu Wen closed his eyes deeply, "What if your mom comes too?"

Originally, he only wanted to take the cub to meet his own friends. As for Shang Xi, their relationship wasn't strong enough for him to bring her along to meet his friends.

No matter how you looked at it, it was too intimate.

Inseparable.

But the cub was sticking to his mother, and there was no way around it.

He almost reluctantly dialed Shang Xi's number.

Baobao said that the story of Lonely Wolf (Gu Wen) and Big Bao Bao (another male lead in another book) happened in reverse. It seems so, in the beginning Lonely Wolf only cared about the cub, and in the beginning Big Bao Bao didn't care about the cub.

Haha, they'll both be proven wrong.

New story, seeking ratings and comments to encourage more updates. The length of this book depends on the love of the readers.

I'm the kind of lousy author who doesn't want to write if no one is reading...
