Chapter 128

Gu Wen watched as Shang Xi stretched out her hand to grab him for a bath. He widened his eyes and stepped back.

A bath?

Him and Shang Xi?

As Shang Xi picked him up and walked toward the bathroom, his body stiffened, and he didn't dare move. When he heard the sound of running water, he simply turned to face the wall, covering his eyes with his little paws.

Seeing Shang Xi's naked body was too...

"Is the water temperature alright?" Shang Xi muttered, and Gu Wen felt warm water flowing down from his head, accompanied by Shang Xi's gentle voice: "Little one, don't be afraid."

Gu Wen: ...

What was she thinking! How could Shang Xi possibly bathe with what she thought was a puppy! Did his intelligence also diminish after getting smaller?

Shang Xi skillfully squeezed out some shower gel and rubbed it onto the little one's body, gently lathering.

The little one might have been a bit scared, not daring to move, but was very obedient.

After blowing his fur dry, Shang Xi hugged the little one and kissed him: "So cute! But why are your ears so hot?"

Gu Wen didn't dare look straight at her, staring at the wall instead. If he were in his human form now, his reddened ears would be clearly visible.

This woman... touched him all over again.

If Shang Xi knew this was Gu Wen, she would probably drop the little one on the spot and start breakdancing.

After bathing the little one, she and her son went out to buy a small bed.

"Little pup, take good care of the house, okay?"

Not long after the mother and son left, two figures appeared on the balcony.

"Well, if it isn't Mr. Gu himself? In such a state?" Fu Su folded his arms and looked down at the little black pup.

Jiang Bu covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking, and eventually burst out laughing.

"The last time I saw you in your puppy stage was the previous time."

Standing in the living room, the little wolf pup transformed, turning into a four-year-old boy still wearing the clothes from last night's drinking. For him now, those clothes were too big.

The little boy frowned, scrunched up his face, and muttered a curse before going into the bedroom.

Soon after, the little boy came out wearing a black hoodie and black casual pants.

Fu Su pushed the obstructive wolf brother aside, "I told you not to come."

He looked at Shang Xi and smirked: "Shang Xi, little pup."

His gaze fell on the dog bed Shang Xi was carrying, and his smile widened. So this was the misunderstanding Gu Wen had mentioned.

"You picked up a little puppy today, didn't you?"

How did they know?

Shang Xi's eyes widened, and she pursed her lips, understanding: "So it's not really a little dog?"

"Right, that's a wolf pup that's about to turn four years old."

"So you came to take him away?"

"Actually, didn't you notice that this little pup looks a lot like your Baby Shang?" Fu Su said lightly. "Shang Xi, this little pup is also from the Gu family. In fact, he's Baby Shang's cousin."

He spoke with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Shang Xi was truly surprised: "What a coincidence. I'll contact Auntie Gu, they must be really worried."

"No need." Fu Su said, "This little pup ran out on his own. He probably saw a cousin around his age and wanted to play with him. His parents hoped you could take care of the little pup for half a month. It's their wish."

Fu Su brought out a box leaning against the wall and opened it, revealing a glittering pile of gold bars. Shang Xi couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She was a materialistic person and had no resistance to such things.

But she had to painfully refuse.

"Since he's Baby Shang's brother, there's no need to be so polite. Just let him stay half a month."

Shang Xi forced a laugh, her eyes unable to leave the gold bars.

This was Baby Shang's cousin, just staying for half a month. If she accepted this box of gold bars, what kind of person would she be? Gu Wen had never been stingy with material things for her and her son, but no matter how much she loved gold bars, she couldn't do this.

"We just came to run an errand." Fu Su put the box away, leaving it against the wall. "Well then, sorry to trouble you. We'll be going."

With that, he dragged the petrified wolf brother and quickly left.

"Hey, you guys..." Shang Xi felt that the Gu family was ridiculously wealthy, carelessly handing out such extravagant gifts, was this normal for anyone from their family?

At that moment, a clicking sound came from the front door as it was pushed open from the inside.

A little boy stood in the doorway, his face stern, lips pursed tightly.
