Chapter 83

Chapter 83

The rain stopped.

The family of three left the tent, ready to go back.

Gu Wen's injury needed to be treated when they got back.

Dai Cen parked the car at the roadside, waiting.

The man stood next to the car, smiling lightly: “President Gu, Miss Shang.”

Then he lowered his eyes, looking at Baby Shang and said: “Little Young Master, good afternoon.”

“Uncle Dai, good afternoon to you too.” Baby Shang held his mother's hand, looking at Dai Cen, his chubby bun-like face puffed up.

After getting into the car,

they went straight to the hospital.

Seeing the ugly scratches on Gu Wen’s waist, the old doctor frowned and uttered “Troublemaker”. He pushed his glasses: “This is... attacked by some beast?”ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Most importantly, the injured youth seemed to feel no pain at all. He casually hmm-ed, his attention all on the corridor outside and the conversation between mother and son.

The baby's soft voice: “Mama, will Papa die?”

Gu Wen: .........

On the wall of the corridor outside, there was a row of green seats. Shang Xi sat in the middle, her son standing next to her, his little hand on her knees, eyebrows slightly knitted.

"Is baby worried about Papa?" Shang Xi gently stroked her son's hair. "He's fine, don't overthink.”

Baby Shang pinched his own fingers. His dark eyes lowered, and he hmm-ed.

Seeing this, Shang Xi felt a strange feeling spreading in her heart. She felt a little heartache for her son. To think carefully, this was still the first time Baby Shang had such long close contact with a male elder.

After Gu Wen appeared, he slowly broke down his guard. Their little family had always been too cold. There were no grandpas and grandmas, or fathers- and mothers-in-law.

The boy had too few family members, almost as few as her.

So he really liked Gu Wen and was also very afraid that he would "disappear".

Shang Xi lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a heavy twinge of sourness in her heart. In three months, no matter what, she had to leave Nanfeng Courtyard.

Would her son feel sad then? He would, right?

Gu Wen must have a lot of relatives, right? There were so many members just in Nanfeng Courtyard. They were so united and caring for each other. Gu Wen still had family back in Snow Mountain.

If her son lived with his biological father Gu Wen, then he would have a lot more relatives, right? Living in the best place, eating the best food, and many more playmates.

Seeing the boy lowering his head with pursed lips.

Shang Xi felt a pain in her heart and hugged her son into her arms. She touched the little boy's soft cheek with her face. Her smile was somewhat sour.

Baby, I'm sorry.

Mama has to take you away no matter what.

Your dad already has so many things. He has money, family, and so much love.

I... only have you.

She couldn't provide the life Gu Wen could provide.

Baby is still small now. When he grows up? Will he blame her?

She said softly: “Do you like your dad?”

Baby Shang blinked his big eyes, somewhat shyly burrowing into his mother's arms. He nodded awkwardly.

“You'll see each other again in the future, definitely.” She assured.

Even if she moved out, father and son would still see each other often.

So... As Shang Xi's kiss fell on the little boy's head, sweetie pie, don't be sad then, okay?

But...

She could accept and cooperate with Gu Wen interacting with the child. But what if in the future, Gu Wen's side... had a new life that made it inconvenient?

Gu Wen was still so young. That would be very normal.

Not him.

Just...... not him.

In the corridor outside.

Shang Xi had yet to explain to her son when she saw a teenager sitting in a wheelchair. Both legs were in casts, with several men in black behind him that looked like bodyguards.

He looked impatient and furious, scolding.

Shang Xi opened her mouth halfway when she froze.

Meng Qing’an.

The study-abroad younger brother.

The next second, the boy's expression turned to delighted disbelief when he saw her, his eyes widening incredibly.

“Shang Xi!!!! You're here! I... I've been wanting to find you!”

Shang Xi: “Your legs... What happened?”

Meng Qing’an lowered his eyes, looking somewhat lacking in confidence yet aggrieved. “Fell down the stairs.”

In fact, he had secretly returned to the country wanting to see Shang Xi but was caught by his family who locked him up. Of course he wouldn't obey them obediently.

So...

He fell out the window. From the third floor onto the lawn. Both knee caps fractured.

Good thing: he didn't need to go abroad for now.

Bad thing: he could now only get around in a wheelchair.

But meeting Shang Xi at the hospital today felt like a dream come true to him.

“Baby Shang! You're cuter again! So handsome!”

Baby Shang pursed his lips. “Brother.”

The boy corrected him. “Call me uncle.”

Baby Shang stared at him with wide eyes. “Mama said to call you brother.”

Meng Qing’an’s eyes widened as he looked at Shang Xi, face full of grievance. “I’m turning twenty soon. Shang Xi, just a couple years younger than you.”

Shang Xi spoke coolly. “You’re not nineteen yet, right?”

Meng Qing’an: “I......”

“Young Master, time to go.” Said the bald bodyguard behind the boy gruffly.

"Shut up! If you want to leave, then leave!"

"Sorry, Boss Meng has instructed us."

Meng Qing'an refused to leave. He finally got to see Shang Xi after much difficulty.

Shang Xi looked at those bodyguards, and thought about how this boy had previously refused to study abroad for her sake. She felt a headache coming on.

She sympathized with Meng's parents. Their son who just became an adult liked a mother with a four year old child. What was that all about? Most families would not accept something like this.

Not to mention a family like Meng's which had some money.

At this time, Gu Wen, who had just bandaged his wounds, appeared at the door.

Shang Xi suddenly had a bright idea. She ran towards Gu Wen with a smile, asking with concern, "Feeling better? Doesn't hurt anymore right?"

Gu Wen lowered his eyes and quietly looked at her.

Shang Xi whispered, "Comrade! Help me out."

Comrade Gu was extremely willing!

The pure, quietly attractive lone wolf guards his goddess. He bears it and endures, but there will come a day when he can endure no more and loses control.

Once the mate is determined, the lone wolf exposes his true nature.

Right now I really want to write about the storyline after Shang Xi leaves Nanfeng Courtyard. I feel like the ambiguous period after leaving is very interesting. Speeding up the plot would give this book an ending.
