The Luckiest Wolf Cub Who Can Act Coquettish

The drenched wolf cub was cradled in its mother's arms, receiving gentle pats on the head to soothe it.

"Oh my! Cubby caught a big fish again! Isn't my cubby the best? Mommy is so happy," exclaimed the mother.

"Look, even your Aunt YoYo is praising you. You're so small yet already capable of catching fish. I'm genuinely surprised and delighted. Should I give you a score of ten thousand?" she continued.

The little wolf cub's whimpering gradually subsided.

As time went on, the excessive praise made it a bit embarrassed. It covered its eyes with its tiny paws and buried its head in its mother's embrace.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

After a moment, it lifted its head from its mother's embrace and glanced at the large fish caught by its father, revealing a toothy grin.

With the comfort of its mother's words, knowing that Mommy thought it was the best, it looked at its father, feeling proud and wagging its tail gently.

Shang Xi's clothes were all wet from the little wolf cub, but she didn't mind. She could change clothes later.

Gu Wen watched the delighted little wolf cub and faintly curved his thin lips.

After all, it was just a cub.

In the afternoon, Shang Xi cooked a braised fish dish using the fish caught by Baby Shang.

It was the first time her son had caught a fish for her, and she wanted to taste it.

Black Tail looked at the meat on the large plate, smelling the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and his mouth watered. Shang Xi couldn't eat so much by herself, and he really wanted to taste it.

Shang Xi indeed couldn't eat that much, and the wolfmen didn't mind eating her portion. After serving her own portion, she let the rest be divided among the wolfmen.

She loved spicy food, and she wondered if the wolfmen could handle the spice.

As it turned out, they couldn't.

Black Tail drank water like crazy because it was too spicy.

Red Tail howled and ran around the spacious living room.

Green Tail's mouth swelled from the spiciness.

Yellow Tail plopped into the swimming pool with a splash.

Shang Xi grinned awkwardly, "I should have said something to make you eat less."

She still remembered the last time when she had a day off, she woke up early to make human food for the wolf pack, but only Black Tail and Cang Ling ate it.

Since then, she hadn't cooked again.

Occasionally, she went to the kitchen to make some fried snacks for her son, satisfying his little cravings.

Gu Wen sat in the main seat, looking at the foolish appearance of the pack members and sneered.

He didn't eat.

Did he not know how well Shang Xi could handle spice? Every time the three of them dined out, she would remind the restaurant staff, "Add more chili peppers to the dishes I ordered."

Curious, he once tasted the dish she ordered and frowned, no longer saying a word.

This woman was formidable...

Compared to the chaotic cries of the other wolfmen, Baby Shang remained calm, sitting next to his mother and eating obediently.

Shang Xi cooked Baby Shang's portion of fish by lightly pan-frying it until both sides were golden, without adding any chili peppers.

The little guy chewed on the fish, bones and all, and his chubby cheeks bulged as he made crisp sounds while biting. He found it amusing, squinting his eyes and revealing an adorable smile.

"Cubby, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, Mommy, listen," and as Baby Shang used his tiny sharp teeth, the sound of fish bones cracking could be heard in his mouth.

"Wow! Amazing, Mom can't even bite it."

Shang Xi had heard Gu Wen say that young cubs can practice their teeth by eating meat with bones.

Baby Shang curled up his little lips, his eyes curved, and the tuft of hair on his head swayed. He was learning more and more things now, and he could help Mommy. He wanted to be a useful cub.

"Mommy, I'm going to catch fish for you later."

Thinking of the big fish Dad caught, his little eyebrows furrowed. He could definitely do it too...

"But you've been swimming for so long today, won't you get tired?" Shang Xi touched his little face. His facial features were already clear, and even his small jawline was visible. It had to be said that he really resembled Gu Wen.

Only when those little lips smiled did they look like her.

"Mommy can't eat so much fish. How about going once a day?"

If she knew that her son wanted to catch more than twenty pounds of fish, Shang Xi would be terrified. Her son was only about forty pounds himself. What if he didn't have enough strength and got pulled underwater?

Even though she knew her son wasn't a regular human, his strength was greater than that of other children his age, but in a mother's eyes, her son was still just a little over four years old. It made her worry to think about him going into the lake to catch fish.

Thinking of this, she became a little concerned.

"When I'm not around, don't go to the lake alone."

She reached out and pinched her son's chubby face. This baby who could speak and laugh was everything to her. He was her only hope to keep going.

Many times, when she looked at this little guy, her whole heart softened and warmed. Happiness rippled and pervaded her heart.

Fortunately, that one night happened.

In the eyes of others, she had lost her education, became a single mother before marriage, and it was embarrassing, foolish, and hard.

But only she knew that she was very happy.

She was grateful for the accident that happened back then, giving birth to Baby Shang. She had never regretted it.

Grandma passed away in her sleep in the dream, without suffering, just a little lonely. Her life had reached that point, and she could only accompany her until that step.

If she hadn't had that accident with Gu Wen back then, she couldn't have stopped Grandma from leaving.

Sometimes she wondered if Grandma knew that she was going to have a baby and left in peace?

Her son became her armor against swords and knives. Her son became her motivation to live, and her son gave her the purest love.

She didn't feel ashamed to rely on her son to live. How many parents in the world rely on their children to live?

For oneself, loving oneself is certainly good. But it's not suitable for everyone. Some people need to live for others, only then can they carry on with life.

They have lost the ability to love themselves.

Wearing the best and most expensive clothes, buying the most expensive bags, living in the best house, eating the most delicious food, perhaps this is the life goal of many people.

But Shang Xi knew very well that it wasn't what she wanted.

After Grandma passed away, she knew that it wasn't what she wanted.

What she wanted was pure, unwavering love. Regardless of whether she was rich or poor, fat or thin, old or ugly.

To be realistic, this kind of love is usually only found among blood relatives.

What she wanted was the healthy and grown-up little baby right in front of her.

She gently pinched her baby son's tender little face, her eyes filled with warmth and indulgence. "Did you understand what Mommy said?"

Shang Xi tilted his head and placed his cheek in his mother's palm. Under his black, fluffy short hair, his dark eyes focused intently on his mother. Then, his eyes curved, and he sweetly smiled, "I understood!"

His little tail wagged gently in the gap of the chair.

He would listen carefully to everything his mother said.

Only listen to Mommy's words.

"Shang Xi, don't worry, we'll watch over the cub." Black Tail held a large bottle of milk and said, "He's going to the lake, and I'll accompany him."

Shang Xi smiled at him politely and said, "Thank you, but it's better to have Daddy accompany him. It's his thing."

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Wen and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you understand what I mean?"

"Other people have them, and I thought you should have them too."

Shang Xi widened her eyes.

"You..."

This is too straightforward! Too honest!

The car fell silent.

The atmosphere became subtle.

Shang Xi thought it was about child support, so she had accepted it without a second thought. But now that Gu Wen said this, if she accepted it again...

She didn't like him.

She didn't plan to be with him.

Accepting this obviously thoughtful gift, wouldn't it give him false hope?

Shang Xi pursed her lips and put the booklet back.

"I may not have made myself clear last time, Mr. Gu, but I'm not considering being with you. Please give up on the idea."

"Not considering," Gu Wen fell silent for a moment, his thin lips pressed together. "So, you like that pure human, Rong Wen?"

What's so good about him!

He only knows how to be playful and sweet-talk, right?

"I don't like him."

Gu Wen's expression flickered. "You don't like him?"

Shang Xi looked at him curiously. "I don't like him, otherwise, we would have been together by now."

"Are you saying... you don't have feelings for anyone right now?"

Shang Xi murmured in agreement.

Gu Wen's mood instantly brightened.

Even if he was rejected once.

"Good." He lightly curved his lips and nodded.

As long as there's no one you like, you'll eventually like him.

They arrived at the flower shop.

When Shang Xi was about to get out of the car, something awkward happened.

It was actually her fault.

She felt uncomfortable inside the car and hurried to get out. The car was still slowly stopping, so she unfastened her seatbelt in advance, picked up her bag, and stood up.

As a result, she didn't expect the car to sway, and she lost her balance, directly falling onto Gu Wen across from her.

The speed of the Wolfman was too fast. She didn't even know how Gu Wen managed to reach out and hold her waist with both hands.

In any case, the current position was: Gu Wen sitting in his seat, her waist being held by those big hands, and her two hands bracing on Gu Wen's shoulders.

They were face to face, separated by a table.

Her skirt and long hair were touching Gu Wen's shoulders and chest.

Gu Wen's pitch-black eyes stared at her, their breaths audible to each other. Shang Xi felt the hands on her waist start to tighten.

She didn't react in that instant and felt herself being pulled slowly towards him.

It's Gu Wen!

The man with an aggressive aura, whose eyes slightly darkened, and his thin lips moved.

He actually wanted to kiss her.

Shang Xi widened her eyes and abruptly pushed against his body, forcefully sitting back in her seat. "You... what are you doing?"

She was careless.

He's a Wolfman!

A male Wolfman at that.

In every aspect, they were more aggressive than pure humans.

Gu Wen realized what had happened. The sharp edges of his handsome face turned red in Shang Xi's eyes. He bit his thin lips and took a deep breath.

"Sorry, I..."

"Don't be angry, I..." A trace of self-reproach and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. "It's my fault."

Shang Xi looked at him and thought, you're the one who wanted to kiss me, and now you're even more embarrassed than I am.

If she didn't know any better, she would have thought that she was the one forcefully kissing him...

She pursed her lips and said seriously, "Control yourself."

Gu Wen nodded. "Mm, I will control myself."

Shang Xi got out of the car.

The sound of high heels faded away.

Gu Wen glanced at the receding figure outside the window, his ears turning red. He withdrew his gaze, leaned back in his seat, and raised the back of his wrist to cover his eyes.

The fair and slender part of his neck was exposed, and his throat rolled up and down, feeling dry.

He had gone crazy!

He had been bewitched.

He wanted to kiss her even before he had caught her!

His hand moved unconsciously, still feeling the touch of her waist, soft, warm, and delicate.

Gu Wen's thin lips moved, his face growing even hotter.

He...

In fact, it is quite normal for male Wolfmen to have various thoughts about their beloved partners. They have stronger desires in various aspects compared to pure humans.

Gu Wen grew up in the human world, and his grandmother always insisted that he should behave like a pure human. This was something he had to learn in order to continue working at the company, which imposed many restrictions on him as a human.

Moreover, he was a lone wolf.

For many years, he had been alone, relying on the Snow Mountain Deep Pool to satisfy his desires and longing for affection.

Gu Wen had the restraint of a pure human in his mind, but his body did not.

Just now, as he held the waist of the woman he liked, he really wanted to kiss her like that.

As Gu Wen thought this, his throat rolled again.

His throat was dry, and his mouth was dry.

For a moment, he overlooked the scent of perfume on his body.

Go take a cold shower and drink a few bottles of cold water.
