Chapter 61

Chapter 61

Jiang Buzheng took a sip of water and, upon hearing this, spilled it all out as he failed to hold back his laughter. He coughed and said, “Cough cough cough! Damn, when did I seduce anyone????”

“There’s a news story in the human world. When a man starts to like a woman, he feels all his male friends are threats and warns them one by one. You’re not that kind of wolf, are you?”

Gu Wen didn’t nod or deny it.

Shang Xi was not his mate yet, so he had no assurance at all. Any slight wind would make him nervous.

She was clearly in the ward of that hospital. If he opened up his wolf senses now, he could still catch her voice among the conversations of millions, that cool and polite voice to him.

She was clearly there.

But why did he feel she was so far away from him that he felt anxious and nervous?

When he was back at work, he was somewhat absent-minded, glancing at the time every now and then, waiting to pick up the cub and then he’d have a valid reason to show up at the hospital.

The hospital.

After Shang Xi’s friends learned she was ill, they came to visit her at the hospital one after another.

Zhou Ziyou asked, “Does it still hurt?”

Shang Xi shook her head. “I’m fine.”Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

“You even got appendicitis.” Zhou Ziyou touched herself and wondered, “Do you think I might also...”

Shang Xi gave her a speechless look. “Don’t jinx yourself. Do you think this is something good?”

Come to think of it, she also felt somewhat lucky. If she and her son were at home instead of Nansheng Court, with such an emergency, she would be lying there while her young son wouldn’t be able to move her. She didn’t even know how worried and crying he would be.

Just the thought pained her.

“You live alone, so you have to be more careful...” Shang Xi suddenly paused. “Oh, Gray Tail is still at your place.”

Zhou Ziyou grinned. “He’s there alright. My little bodyguard isn’t too bad. You know that night when I was drunk, Sister Dao sent me home. My little bodyguard was waiting for me downstairs.”

At that time, Sister Dao wanted to take her to the Dao’s residence, but she insisted on going home.

She was drunk silly and only emphasized over and over: “I...I have a bodyguard at home. Gotta go back...and feed him.”

“Since when have you kept a pet?” So Sister Dao sent her back to Huan’an community.

She lowered her head without any strength in her bones. Sister Dao supported her getting out of the car. In her vision a pair of long legs appeared and the owner, sounding a bit boyish, said, “Give her to me.”

“Oh? And who are you?” Sister Dao’s eyes roamed over him suggestively before looking back at Zhou Ziyou. “You naughty woman. You said you were single but secretly found yourself a little boyfriend.”

Shang Xi frowned. “Are you alright? Tell me if you need anything.”

Nan Si smiled weakly. “I’ll soon be free. If nothing unexpected happens, I can get a divorce this month.”

She initially thought it was heaven but now saw it was hell.

Shang Xi hmm-ed. “If you still haven’t found a job, I’m lacking a store manager at my second shop. It comes with free room and board. Are you interested? You can handle the work anyway.”

Ever since she entered Nansheng Court, the two shops received a huge number of flower orders every day. She was rushed off her feet.

It was as if all companies in Qing City holding events and new restaurant openings came looking for her.

Nan Si nodded in agreement.

When Rong Wen arrived, Nan Si got up to leave. It was almost time to pick up her child from kindergarten.

Rong Wen brought in a bouquet of baby’s breath and placed it on the bedside table. Her eyes were full of concern. “Does the wound still hurt?”

Shang Xi shook her head.

“Have a good rest for now. Can the shop matters wait?” Rong Wen dropped her eyes helplessly and pulled her lips. “I really want to take care of you but I know you won’t give me that right.”

“If possible, I hope you can leave that person’s home. I have a house by the river very close to Shang Bao’s kindergarten.”

Still, Shang Xi shook her head. “Thank you.”

She didn’t want to go to anyone’s house, only wishing to return to her own home after three months.

She was no longer the useless person from childhood. Now she could support and take good care of herself and her cub.

Rong Wen chatted for a while more before leaving. “I’ll come see you again tomorrow. Call me if you get bored. I’ll look forward to it.”

Shang Xi nodded somewhat awkwardly.

At this time, Gu Wen got off work early, waited by the kindergarten gate for a while, then picked up the cub and headed straight for the hospital.

Just as he drove in the hospital entrance, he saw Rong Wen walking down the stairs from the inpatient department.

The cub was playing with the little gift Gu Wen got him while next to him were the flowers Gu Wen helped bring for the cub from Shang Xi.

In an instant, Gu Wen’s eyes turned icy cold.

Rong Wen came to see Shang Xi. How long did he stay? What did he say?

Shang Xi rejected Gu Wen. Did she do the same for Rong Wen?
