Chapter 111
Gu Wen became a driver again.
The family of three went to the Ancestral House.
Shang Xi had never been to the Gu family's Ancestral House before. It took an hour's drive to reach the place.
Inside the Gu family's Ancestral House, there were relatively few buildings, with lawns, woods, a Giant Wolf Statue, and a Giant Wolf Fountain.
Indeed, it didn't look like an ordinary human residence.
Wolf hunting scenes and wolves howling at the moon were carved on the walls.
Shang Xi glanced around, suppressing her astonishment.
At the Gu family gathering, apart from large fish and meat dishes,
The family also had human chefs specially prepare a grand spread of human cuisine.
To make Shang Xi feel comfortable, they didn't invite any other clan members, and the werewolves present were the same ones Shang Xi had seen yesterday.
Baby Shang carried a bag of gifts, calling out to each wolf:
"Hello Grandpa, this gift is for you."
"Hello Grandma, this is for you..."
"Hello Uncle, these flowers are for you."
Gu Chen was surprised by the favor, staring dumbfounded at the flower specimen in the beautiful young man's hands. "The cub gave this to me?"
"Oh my, cub, is this a rose?" Gu Yao curved her red lips, hugging the little cub into her embrace and planting a kiss on the plump baby cheek. "Darling, I wanted to kiss you yesterday."
"I just came back from the Snow Mountain yesterday and didn't prepare anything for you."
Shang Xi hurriedly said, "No need, Auntie, I didn't prepare anything either..."
Gu's mother smiled lightly. "But I know the customs of you pure humans. Since you've come to visit me at the Ancestral House, I should have prepared something."
On Gu's mother's dressing table sat a black box.
She picked it up with both hands and handed it to Shang Xi.
"These are some human world jewelry pieces I've collected. They're quite pretty. I hope you'll like them."
"Auntie, you... you've misunderstood our human customs." Shang Xi hurriedly explained. "I'm not Gu Wen's partner, you don't need to give me..."
"It doesn't matter whether you are or not." Gu's mother smiled. "You're the cub's mother, aren't you? We're already family."
Shang Xi's heart shook violently.
Her eyes widened, but she still shook her head, stepping back. "Thank you, I appreciate the gesture. Please..." Her words suddenly stuck in her throat.
She saw Gu's mother lower her gaze, raise her hand to wipe her eyes, and ask in a dejected, hurt tone, "Do you dislike us? Have we presumed too much by considering you family and caused you trouble?"
Shang Xi was taken aback. "I don't dislike you, Auntie..."
Gu's mother wiped her eyes again. "You don't dislike us, yet you won't accept my gift. I'm so hurt."
Ah...
Shang Xi rarely felt at a loss, scratching her head.
There's one more part, we'll see tomorrow.
