Chapter 37

Shang Xi was a bit surprised that Mr. Gu had prepared a small gift.

"Thank you, Dad," Baby Shang said, pursing his chubby lips and reaching out with his little hand to take it.

"Hmm, open it and take a look," Gu Wen coughed lightly, looking out the window as if he didn't care whether his son liked it or not.

Baby Shang gently opened the box, and for a moment, his lips slightly parted and his big eyes were filled with astonishment.

It was so beautiful.

The stars dotted the surface, creating a shimmering mosaic. Clockwise, they formed an exquisite and magnificent gear, while counterclockwise, they formed a slightly smaller rotating gear. The minute hand was a tiny globe, intricately crafted and unimaginably complex, slowly rotating along with the gears.

Baby Shang stared at it without blinking, completely captivated.

No man could refuse such a watch.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Dai Cen thought to himself, even little boys are still boys.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Unfortunately, the price was too extravagant for him to afford.

Gu Wen was afraid there might be some misunderstanding about the small gift. Is something worth tens of millions called a small gift?!

Shang Xi also noticed the watch and thought to himself that this toy watch was made quite realistically.

Baby Shang lowered his gaze, his big eyes filled with curiosity as he stared at the watch. He even wanted to take it apart and see how it worked.

After they arrived home,

Baby Shang put the watch in his pocket and took the rose, cutting off a small piece. He tiptoed and placed it in the vase in the room.

The vase, filled with water, already held six flowers of various colors, all gifts from Mom.

She had told him before that this would help the flowers last longer. When the flowers began to wilt, they could be dried and preserved as dried flowers.

This was the love Mom gave him, and he wanted to keep it safe.

Children are the most sensitive, and he sensed a different atmosphere in the house. Holding the watch, he sat down on the balcony and observed it carefully.

He didn't go downstairs to play.

Because Mom didn't go downstairs either.

Shang Xi did indeed hide in her room.

She had seen how enthusiastic and adorable the werewolves were before, but now they seemed much quieter. Some of them didn't even leave their rooms, looking listless.

Shang Xi lowered her gaze and thought that it would be better for her to appear less.

And so, another week passed.

That afternoon,

They went to pick up their child from school again, and the car was quiet.

As they approached the kindergarten, Gu Wen spoke up, "I want to take the little one to see a movie."

When he was leaving work, he overheard his subordinates talking.

"When I was young, I was busy with work, so I didn't spend much time with my child. Now he doesn't even feel close to me. Sigh... Sometimes I wonder how to live a life without regrets."

The next moment, he averted his gaze directly, snapped back to reality, and his ears started to feel hot.

These pure humans really have no filter and no shame.

Shang Xi also noticed the different atmosphere in the restaurant. It was clearly a family-friendly establishment.

She didn't feel much about it. She and Gu Wen picked up their child every day. How many misunderstandings had they encountered?

When the dishes were served, the waiter beamed and said, "This is our restaurant's complimentary Couple's Rose Set. Enjoy your meal!"

In the two plates, the steaks were surrounded by roses, and a heart shape was formed with cherry tomatoes.

"..."

Even Shang Xi, who didn't care about being misunderstood, felt a bit awkward at this moment.

Gu Wen, sitting across from her, had an extremely poor dining experience. His brows and eyes grew colder, and he didn't even glance at the plate.

In the end, neither of them touched the two complimentary dishes. They silently neglected them on the side, in perfect harmony.

Gu Wen hardly spoke throughout the meal. Most of the time, he was watching the little one.

They left the restaurant.

Gu Wen glanced at the name of the restaurant, "LOVE Family Restaurant," and his face darkened.

Noticing the woman's gaze beside him, he spoke in a low voice, "Dai Cen booked this restaurant."

Implicitly, he was telling her not to overthink.

Shang Xi understood and nodded, taking the initiative to say, "Let's make it clear to him next time. This place isn't suitable for us."

"Yes."

Indeed, was a family restaurant like LOVE the right place for him and Shang Xi?

He had set aside some time just to spend with their child, not to experience some fancy romantic couple's package here!

Because they had a child together, Gu Wen and Shang Xi were often mistaken for being in a romantic relationship, but they ignored it. It was an unintentional misunderstanding that couldn't be helped.

But coming to a place like this restaurant, it could have been avoided, couldn't it?

At the entrance of the restaurant,

Dai Cen saw his boss coming out and hurriedly opened the car door.

Gu Wen gave him a cold glance.

Dai Cen: "???"

At the movie theater,

Parents, children, and couples were all holding hands.

Gu Wen held the hand of their child and Shang Bao naturally held her mother's hand on the other side, her little steps becoming much lighter.

Gu Wen and Shang Xi exchanged a glance but quickly looked away.

However, they were in sync.

Goodnight, this will be the only update... I've been dozing off, and tomorrow I'll write and revise properly. Before long, everyone will know that Grey Tail is still alive, oh.
