Chapter 130

Chapter 130

With two kids in tow, Shang Xi thought they might get bored staying at home, so she asked, "Do you want to go to the amusement park?"

"No," came the simultaneous response.

Shang Xi: "..."

Was there no hesitation at all?

"Little Gu, if there's anything you want to eat or do, just let me know, don't be shy," she said, looking at the expressionless child.

Although this child looked a lot like her own, it was easy to tell them apart. Her own kids were more lively at home and wouldn't keep a straight face.

Caught off guard, the boy called Little Gu mumbled, "..."

The phone suddenly rang, and Shang Xi answered, it was Zhou Ziyou calling.

"How does it feel to move back home?"

Shang Xi: "It's pretty good."

Zhou Ziyou hesitated, then tried to ask, "So, what about Shang Bao's father? Has he come after you?"

Shang Xi pursed her lips, "Why would he come after me? Stop jumping to conclusions."

"Because doesn't he like you? If he does, he would definitely come after you right away."

Shang Xi remained indifferent, "He's on a business trip abroad. But, I have nothing to do with him, stop gossiping."

"What?!" Zhou Ziyou exclaimed.

Shang Xi moved the phone away, feeling her ears suffering.

"Wow! Did you say he's on a business trip? So, he met with Miss Qing, had a great time, and went abroad together?"

Gu Wen, who had been nearby, heard their phone conversation. When he heard this, he frowned, his face tensed.

Who's this Miss Qing?

And they had a great time together, went abroad together?

Who had such a filthy mouth to spread rumors about him?

Fed up.

He felt a bit panicked, quickly looked at Shang Xi, did she believe it? She wouldn't actually believe it, right?

Shang Xi calmly responded to the phone, "Ziyou, isn't it no big deal? Just because someone likes you doesn't mean they'll like you forever, especially since I rejected him. Stay calm."

"After all these years, haven't I rejected enough people? Do they have to keep liking me? Don't get excited, if everyone's like this, they'll all end up lonely, won't they?"

Those she had rejected, some of them quickly found partners, some got married shortly after. It was all normal.

Who would keep knocking on the door, they weren't stupid.

Even Gu Wen, after confessing several times and getting no response, would give up and leave.

"Darling..." Zhou Ziyou fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "I understand what you're saying, but he's different, he's Shang Bao's father, and he's quite handsome. If you like him, I'd really hope you two could be together."

"He's gone abroad with Miss Qing, which means he didn't really like you that much. Forget about him. Our dear, you're so beautiful, what kind of person do you want?"

Shang Xi smiled, "Alright, stop worrying about me. Don't overdo the dieting and take care of yourself."

She chuckled, her beautiful face showing a hint of exhaustion.

She drove away another person.

But... why did driving away this person make her feel uneasy?

Gu Wen couldn't sit still anymore.

Watching Shang Xi's conversation with that woman, it was clear she believed it!

Just as she left Nanfeng Courtyard, just as he got into trouble, such a fatal rumor emerged.

Should he admit his true identity now?

Gu Wen lowered his head, looking at his own stature, short legs, small arms... No, he couldn't admit it.

If Shang Xi knew his identity, any remaining goodwill would surely vanish.

After hanging up the phone, Shang Xi felt bored staying at home, so she took the two kids out, anywhere would do, just not staying at home.

Along the way, Gu Wen frowned, his little face stern. Suddenly, he widened his eyes—he could message Shang Xi using his phone!

After transforming into his human form, his phone was in the clothes he wore last night, which his brother, Fu Su, took away along with his clothes.

His phone was still at Shang Xi's house!

Once they finished wandering, he'd explain things to Shang Xi via message.

Really, why was this woman so quick to believe others? Was his love really so worthless?

The little boy sighed deeply.

Shang Xi was puzzled, "Little Gu, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

Gu Wen shook his head, his mood complicated.

As soon as the little Gu sighed, she noticed and immediately showed concern.

When the elder Gu opened up in front of her time and time again, she remained as calm as a stone.

This woman...

Little Gu sighed again.

Shang Xi thought the little guest wasn't having fun, so she deliberately took him to a toy store, holding up toys and asking, "Little Gu, do you like this? Whatever you like, Auntie will buy for you."

Gu Wen's face was tense, looking extremely unhappy.

"Shang Xi, my stomach hurts."

"Oh, what? Let's go to the hospital." Shang Xi was startled, successfully diverting her attention back. She quickly squatted down.

"Carry me." The boy had a stern face, staring at her.

"Okay, let's go to the hospital."

"No, let's just go home and drink water."

"This..." Shang Xi hesitated.

"We don't always need to take medicine, have you forgotten?"

Shang Xi hesitated for a moment, yes, this was Gu's child, the child of the Gu family. She was afraid of any problems, so it was better to go home first.

"Brother, let's talk about it later, we'll contact each other another day." She picked up the boy, who had a cold face, and held onto her neck, glaring sharply at He Mu.

He Mu was taken aback.

Shang Xi carried one and led the other away.

After walking for a while, Shang Xi heard Gu Wen's tense voice: "Who is he?"

"Shang?" He repeated, coldly, laughing, actually calling her by such an intimate name!

"That inconspicuous nickname, don't mind." Shang Xi smiled embarrassedly, "My grandmother gave it to me."

"Shang." The boy called out, staring at her.

Shang Xi...

Forget it, what's the point of arguing with a child, let him call whatever he wants.

The boy pursed his lips, unhappily saying, "Shang, he likes you, stay away from him."

"If you say that again, I won't carry you." Shang Xi said.

The boy widened his eyes, staring at her, seeming a bit bewildered.

"You, kiddo, Auntie has a good temper, but not everything can be said, play with your brother, don't bother Auntie." Shang Xi loved and hated this face that resembled her son so much, she reached out and pinched him, "Be obedient."

The boy suddenly tightened his lips.

"I'm going downstairs, if you don't want me to carry you, that's fine."

What's this...

Someone who had always been so gentle to him since he was a cub,

Actually, after he mentioned that man named He Mu, her expression changed.

Shang Xi didn't expect this child to have such a temper. After he didn't want her to carry him, he didn't care about her anymore and went back to hide in the room, closing the door by himself.

She began to wonder if she had been too harsh just now?

After all, this child had just arrived at her house, he was a little master, and had not suffered any grievances...

She was taken aback by the boy's confession, finding it hard to accept. He was her cousin, practically like her brother, and Shang Xi felt his words were too much.

"Little one, why don't you go play with your little brother?"

Shang Bao grunted, "No, I don't want to, Mom."

Shang Xi was about to say something when her phone buzzed.

She glanced at it, noticing two unread messages from "Lone Wolf" in her inbox.

Momentarily forgetting everything else, she opened the messages.

[Lone Wolf]: I'll be back in half a month.

[Lone Wolf]: I only like you, don't believe rumors. If possible, stay away from other men, thank you.

Shang Xi pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Before long, there was a knock at the door.

[Lone Wolf]: Go open the door.

Shang Xi frowned and went to open it.

A woman in a suit stood there, holding a large bunch of fiery red roses, a smile playing on her lips. "These are from Mr. Gu, he asked me to give them to you. Hope you like them."

Without waiting for a response, she quickly thrust the flowers into Shang Xi's arms and hurried away, as if afraid of rejection.

Shang Xi stood at the door, holding the roses, feeling stunned.

Shang Bao sat on the sofa, munching on a piece of bread, and upon seeing this scene, she snorted.

Always busy with something, hiding in her room.
