Chapter 85

Chapter 85

“Mr. Gu, let me treat you to a meal someday,” Shang Xi said with a natural smile after she finished speaking. Then she saw Gu Wen fall silent, staring at her in a way she couldn’t understand.

That kind of gaze...deep and dark like ink, carrying a certain kind of determined obsession, like a wicked dragon spotting gold and silver treasures, or a hungry wolf seeing delicious prey.

He just stared at her without letting up.

The smile at the corner of Shang Xi’s mouth stiffened slightly, then gradually disappeared.

She remembered that she shouldn’t smile at this lone wolf, in case he misunderstood something again.

Shang Xi thought to herself that this was not good.

The next second, she saw Gu Wen move his thin lips, his voice slightly hoarse, “When?”

“What?”

“Didn’t you say you’d treat me to a meal?” Gu Wen took a step forward. His deep eyes stared at her unabashedly and unflinchingly, “Shang Xi, when?”

Shang Xi was stunned for a moment, her bright eyes blinking. She had just gotten rid of that little brother, and was sincerely happy in her heart. She had casually offered to treat him to a meal.

Offering to treat someone to a meal was no problem, but she had never seen someone so eager to be treated before.

The corner of Shang Xi’s mouth twitched imperceptibly, “When do you want?”

Gu Wen stared at the woman’s red lips opening and closing, his gaze obscure, “This afternoon.”

It was currently noon.

Shang Xi’s gaze shifted downwards, falling on Gu Wen’s waist, “Your injury...” Was it really alright?

“It doesn’t affect anything.”

Shang Xi felt that...

Gu Wen also didn’t seem to lack people to treat him to meals. And now he was still injured, yet seemed almost impatient just for a meal.

She looked at Gu Wen suspiciously.

This guy...

Was quite enthusiastic, huh?

But Gu Wen had already said last time that he would give up. He also hadn't made any overtly intimate gestures towards her. She didn't want to be as self-deluding as a certain lone wolf. She was probably overthinking things.

She nodded and stroked her son's hair, “Alright, what do you want to eat?”

As she spoke, she suddenly paused.

Gu Wen was a werewolf who ate almost nothing but meat.

And quite a lot too.

Go to a western restaurant for steak? One or two steaks probably wouldn’t fill him up, right?

Previously when it had been the three of them accompanying their son to meals, Gu Wen had only participated to get closer to his son. He hadn’t actually eaten much at all.

“How about...we go eat whole roasted lamb?” she ventured.

That should fill him up, right?

Examine her conscience, Gu Wen had treated her very well. She was a rich lady now.

It was rare she was treating him to a meal. Surely she wouldn’t let him leave hungry?

“That’s just human tastebuds.”

Shang Xi considered this. He was right, werewolves just ate lightly seared meat with no seasoning.

If the restaurant was asked to lightly sear a whole lamb and serve it like that, they’d probably end up in the news tomorrow.

This had Shang Xi stumped.

When treating a werewolf to a meal...

Wasn’t it just feeding them meat?

“Then...I’ll buy meat and make it for you at Nanfeng Courtyard?”

Gu Wen, “Nanfeng Courtyard. Are you sure?”

“Mr. Dai, would you like to come up for dinner?” Shang Xi asked with a smile.

Gu Wen gave Dai Cen an indifferent glance.

Dai Cen rapidly shook his head, “No need, thanks. I just ate not long ago.”

Gu Wen went to the trunk and lifted up the meat, “Let’s go.”

The family of three took the elevator to Shang Xi’s home.

Gu Wen’s eyes darkened slightly, his long eyelashes covering his gaze. This was his first time entering Shang Xi’s home.

Everything here belonged solely to the mother and child.

He looked at the living room sofa and coffee table, saw the previously closed bedroom door open, Shang Xi’s rich scent drifting out.

A soft, white bed appeared before his eyes.

Gu Wen’s pupils abruptly contracted, as if provoked.

The hand at his side tightened, the furry black wolf ears and tail suddenly popping out above him.

Baby Shang sat on the sofa hugging a pack of mantou, pulling out bun after bun with crunching noises as he happily stuffed them in his mouth.

As soon as they entered the house, his little ears and tail had also appeared.

Now seeing his father the same way, he smiled cutely, “Daddy is the same as me now.”

Gu Wen stood rooted in place, tall black wolf ears poking through his dark hair which contrasted with his sharp, handsome features. Seeing Shang Xi about to turn her head, he should quickly tuck his ears and tail away. That had always been his habit.

Yet when Shang Xi turned, surprise floating through her eyes, he still didn’t hide them.

“Mr. Gu, how come you...”

“Can’t I?” Gu Wen’s throat moved as he stared at her unwaveringly, “Black Tail and the others can. Why can’t I?”

Uh...

"Of course, that's your freedom."

It's just...

This guy seldom reveals his ears and tail.

Shang Xi secretly glanced at Gu Wen.

To tell the truth, Gu Wen revealing his ears and tail...looked quite cool, with an imposing manner. He's not as lazy as Black Tail and the others, he's always so silent, serious, just standing there makes people feel alarmed, absolutely no one could ignore him.

Black hair and black eyes, and his skin is so fair on top of that.

He's rather good-looking.

Shang Xi withdrew her gaze and went to the kitchen.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but glance again, sneaking another peek at Gu Wen.

That black fluffy big tail, the fur smooth and glossy, lush.

I really want to touch it.

Ah, did it shake just now?

Right? It shook right?

Shang Xi's eyes widened, and the hand at her side unconsciously squeezed.

"Want to touch it?"

The man's low voice sounded.

Shang Xi abruptly came back to her senses.

Turning back, her face was hot.

"No, I don't want to."

That was close, just thirty more seconds and I would have eaten sh*t...

Thanks for the gifts to support this book my darlings, this book should finish under 300,000 words.
