Chapter 107

At the peak of Snow Mountain, the icy rocks, buried under deep snow all year round, remained chilled and crystalline, resembling diamonds in the human world.

Baby Shang, who was raised on Snow Mountain, had played with icy rock toys since childhood, so it was no wonder he loved the little stone figurines carved from the icy rocks.

He sat on his grandfather's lap, his eyes fixed intently on the little stone rabbit carved from icy rock, growing fonder of it with every passing glance, his lips curling up slightly.

Then, with a kick of his legs, he wanted to get down again.

Gu's father wished to hold his little cub a bit longer, but reluctantly let him go.

Baby Shang took the icy rock rabbit and ran to his mother's side, his big wet eyes sparkling as he held up the rabbit and said, "Mommy, look!"

Shang Xi smiled gently. "That's from grandfather. Did you say thank you?"

Baby Shang let out a soft "oh" and turned to Gu's father, whose aura was as smooth and mellow as jade, saying in a childish voice, "Thank you, grandpa!"

Then he looked back at his mother. "Mommy, look, the bunny is icy-cold. You like it too, don't you?"

Shang Xi reached out to take it.

But her hand was held by Gu's mother's cool, soft hand.

"This is an icy rock. You're a pure human, so it's not suitable for you to hold," Gu's mother said softly. "What feels chilly to us might hurt you."

Baby Shang looked at Gu's mother, blinking, understanding. He hid the stone rabbit behind his back.

Frowning slightly, he said seriously, "Mommy, I can't give you the bunny."

For a moment, Shang Xi felt like a naughty little girl.

Smiling wryly, she said, "Okay, Mommy doesn't want it."

Shang Xi nodded lightly. In truth, she didn't dislike Gu's mother, but too much had happened today, and she really wanted to return to her room, to the space with just her and her son.

To process and relax.

After the mother and son disappeared upstairs, only the Gu family remained in the living room. Black Tail and the others had tactfully left, giving the family some space.

The blonde young man looked listless as he drawled, "Ah, the little cub is so adorable. How can I get to hold the little one?"

Gu Yao curved her lips, looking at Gu Wen with a hint of schadenfreude. "Second Gu, are you in a situation of unrequited love?"

Gu Wen ignored her.

Gu's mother sighed, her tone tinged with regret. "Is she the girl from back then? What happened between you two all those years ago?

I remember you used to dislike pure humans, but now, it seems you've changed your mind. Well, that child has already had a cub, so she's part of our clan. If she really doesn't want to be your mate, you mustn't get angry or hurt her."

Gu Wen lowered his gaze, contemplating the day's events.

"Did you hear that, cub?" Gu's mother raised her voice slightly.

Gu Wen frowned in displeasure. "Wolf Mother, call me by my name, especially in front of Shang Xi."

Gu Yao enjoyed the drama. "Well, well, having a mate you like really does make a difference."

Gu Wen scoffed. "Gu Yao, shut up."

He stood up, also heading upstairs. "I know what I'm doing. Regardless, I won't give up. It has to be her, so don't make a fuss."

Gu's mother shook her head. "Cub, women don't like that aggressive approach. Learn from your wolf father."

Gu Yao lounged with her legs crossed, laughing. "Wolf Mother, from a young age, he's always had the most impulsive temper. Do you really think Second Gu will listen to you?"

"The little cub is still the most adorable."
