Chereads / A luxurious father-in-law comes to the door / Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 Follow me

Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 Follow me

 The scenery outside the window keeps going backwards.

 

Sitting in the back seat, Shang Xi looked outside. The yellowish light of the sunset shone warmly in. She stared with a somewhat hollow look in her eyes, and she didn't blink for a long time.

 

 She is just an ordinary person.

 

What is the worst thing she has ever done since she was a child? When she was a child, she picked up a puppy and kept it secretly. Her cousin, who hated her, found out about it and threw it into the river and drowned.

 

When the uncle found out, he asked her: "Wouldn't it be better if you didn't pick it back? Who asked you to pick it back? It's ridiculous that you want others to raise it, and you want to raise a little beast."

 

The cousin was not scolded by the adults and was very proud: "You killed it, you are the original sin. If you don't pick it up, where can I drown it?"

 

 She felt extremely guilty and cried loudly, saying it was her who had harmed the puppy.

 

If she didn't pick it up, it might be picked up by a kind-hearted person who would live happily and take good care of it.

 

Gray Tail is a werewolf. Although he is a different race from her, in her opinion, they can both talk and communicate, that is, one person, such a boy, is dead.

 

 This death has nothing to do with her.

 

 Her whole head wanted to explode, and her heart was so blocked that she couldn't breathe.

 

She was just an ordinary person, and it was her first time to experience this kind of thing, and to be honest, it was a little hard to digest.

 

When Gu Wen's car drove onto the familiar road halfway up the mountain, white buildings emerged among the green grass and trees.

 

 This month, Shang Xi has become familiar with this road.

 

 At this moment, her heart tightened.

 

She was a little afraid of seeing the enthusiastic and lovely wolves, the wolves that came out to greet her every time.

 

 They never want to hear their own stories again.

 

Shang Xi has lived for twenty-five years and has experienced too many painful things since she was a child. Just two years ago, her career improved and she had a small amount of savings, which was enough for her and her son to live a decent life. She finally felt that she was completely happy. .

 

 Then not long ago, my son fell ill.

 

 The child's biological father, Gu Wen, came over. He was not even human.

 

 She thought, it doesn't matter no matter what, as long as her son is healthy.

 

She tried hard to accept the existence of another world. The werewolves were all very kind to her, and she gradually felt that it was pretty good. Even if one of the werewolves didn't like her, it would be okay.

 

 But how did things become like this?

 

 Shang Xi couldn't figure it out, she was in a terrible mood.

 

Did she do something wrong? Thinking about it carefully, she didn't think so. She was tired from work all day, and she was just hungry that night and wanted to come down to find something to eat.

 

 But...

 

 Gray Tail is dead.

 

 Her head hurt, and she closed her eyes.

 

 She just thinks, why is her life always one step away from happiness?

 

Every time she thought life was going well, something new happened.

 

 Doesn't she deserve happiness?

 

Shang Xi looked at his son next to him. On his fair and chubby face, his eyelashes were thick, long and straight. One small hand was holding the seat belt, and the other was holding the corner of her clothes. His face was tilted in her direction. .

 

 Shang Xi pursed her lips and blinked back the moisture in her eyes.

 

 She has found happiness.

 

 There is still half a year left, and she will persist for another half year.

 

 With her children here, she had to be strong.

 

 When we arrived at the gate, sure enough, there were no werewolves running out cheering.

 

Gu Wen got out of the car first, held the sleeping cub in his arms, turned around and walked a few steps, then paused.

 

 He looked back at the absent woman.

 

 He pursed his lips and said, "Follow me."

 

 Shang Xi slowly raised his eyes to look at him.

 

Gu Wen, tall and tall, looked down at her: "I said, Hui Wei's matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself."

 

 He continued in a deep voice: "No one dares to do anything to you, so what are you afraid of?"

 

Shang Xi thought that she was indeed afraid, but not from being hurt, but from facing the cold resentment of the werewolves.

 

It's so rare to have a group of people who treat their mother and son warmly. Oh, they're not human, but that doesn't matter.

 

 As long as the heart she feels is real.

 

 But now, it's all gone.

 

 For a time, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became.

 

"What about you?" As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was trembling. She stared at Gu Wen: "You...don't blame me? If I had never been to Nanfeng Garden, if I didn't go downstairs to find food that night..."

 

Just like that puppy, if she didn't pick it up, maybe she wouldn't be drowned by her cousin.

 

 Her eyes were messy, her defenses were broken, and she lost her usual calmness.

 

Hearing her words, Gu Wen's deep and dark eyes fell on her, and he frowned, his eyebrows becoming sharper.

 

At this moment, his voice was slightly cold: "As the manager of the Qingcheng Werewolf Clan, I don't remember that I pronounced you a murderer."

 

 Shang Xi was slightly stunned.

 

Gu Wenlen said: "Listen, I asked you to come to Nanfengyuan. You are free to go downstairs to eat when you want. You have absolute qualifications."

 

"You are the mother of the cubs. No one can hurt you. This is my attitude."

 

 Even if he never did it once, he would still let Gray Tail leave.

 

"Huiwei's murderer is in the bureau. Why are you pretending to be the murderer?" Gu Wen stared at her.

 

Shang Xi didn't know why, but her eyes began to turn red inexplicably. She shook her head and wiped her eyes randomly.

 

 She thought again of the drowned puppy.

 

 From Gu Wen's cold black eyes.

 

She seemed to hear him saying: "The murderer who drowned that puppy was your cousin. Why are you pleading guilty?"

 

 Shang Xi took a deep breath, but his vision was still blurry.

 

When she was a child, she deeply believed that she had killed the puppy, and she cried for a long time.

 

Gu Wen's words may have been an unintentional coincidence, but they overlapped with the incident in his memory.

 

She stared at him with blurred vision, and her voice trembled uncontrollably: "Thank you."

 

 Whether it was as a child or now, she wanted to thank him.

 

 The entrance to the living room.

 

Cang Ling leaned against the door and stared at the silent wolves in the living room. They all heard the conversation of the house owners.

 

 Cang Ling said: "I also think this matter has nothing to do with Shang Xi."

 

 Kuroo stared at the ground and said, "I think so too."

 

Red Tail whined softly, her eyes still red, and said: "We live and eat at the master's house. We should respect the mother of the cubs. Gray Tail is impulsive."

 

 As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent.

 

Yes, the head of the family took them in, not to let them hurt the mother of the cubs.

 

To put it bluntly, even if Huiwei didn't mean it, it was a fact that Shang Xi was injured.

 

Midori was silent for a while and then said: "It would be great if there were no fallen wolves in this world."

 

"We all hope." After Cang Ling finished speaking, he opened the door to the living room, looked at the family of three approaching, and bent slightly: "Master, Shang Xi, Xiao Zai, welcome home."

 

 Gu Wen held the cub, while Shang Xi fell two steps behind.

 

Then, she saw black tail, green tail, red tail, and blue tail appear behind Cang Ling. Their eyes were red and swollen, but they still smiled at her and said hello: "Welcome back, Shang Xi!"

 

 Shang Xi took a breath.

 

 Finally, she nodded with red eyes

 

 Gu Wen glanced at each clan member with a deep and serious gaze.

 

"I can't promise to kill all the fallen werewolves, but I can promise you that from now on, no more werewolves in Nanfeng Garden will die at the hands of a fallen werewolf."

 

 "Kill all the scum!!"

 

 "They will all die badly!!"

 

 "Ouch——"

 

 "Ouch——"

 

 The werewolves screamed and howled.

 

Shang Bao, who was lying in Gu Wen's arms, suddenly opened his eyes, and Gu Wen reached out and covered his ears and eyes.

 

 "Go to sleep and take you back to your room."

 

 Shang Bao muttered in confusion and asked, "Where's mom?"

 

 "She's next to me."

 

 Shangxi heard his son's voice and called Zaizai.

 

 When Shang Bao heard his mother's voice, he closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep.

 

He is currently in the period of skeletal development, which is when he needs a lot of sleep, and his body is always prone to drowsiness.

 

 The next day is Monday.

 

When Nashi got up and went downstairs, he saw a brown werewolf carrying a suitcase and a large backpack. He was surrounded by Kuroo and the others.

 

"Are you really going to leave? Brown Tail, do you know that you will be in danger if you leave the wolf pack?"

 

 "Haiwei... you are like this again, please calm down!"

 

Browntail had already smelled Shang Xi's scent. He raised his eyes to look at her and then looked back.

 

 "This is the head of the family's place, and I want to leave now."

 

 He has a good relationship with Haiwei, and it seems that he is the only one who has not forgiven Nashi for this matter.

 

It's not that he doesn't forgive him, anyway, he just resents Nangxi a little, but as Red Tail said yesterday, Nangxi is the mother of the owner's cub.

 

 If he is dissatisfied, he should be the one to leave.

 

 "Where can you go if you leave?"

 

"That's right, you don't have a degree. What kind of job do you want to find to support yourself? Or go back to the snowy mountains?"

 

 Brown Tail shook his head: "It goes without saying, I insist on leaving."

 

"You can come and go freely here." A deep voice sounded from behind Shang Xi.

 

She turned around and saw Gu Wen wearing formal clothes, with an indifferent expression and walking calmly downstairs.

 

 When passing by her, he glanced at her and said, "Aren't you going down?"

 

 Shang Xi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

 

She followed him downstairs. Gu Wen's tall and broad figure blocked the werewolves' sight, and she felt a little relieved.

 

 Gu Wen asked lightly: "The cub is still sleeping?"

 

 "Well, I had breakfast and went to call him. I had enough time."

 

 Gu Wen snorted.

 

 He walked towards the wolves at the gate, his eyes falling heavily on Brown Tail.

 

 "You can leave if you want. Have you decided on a place to go?"

 

 Brown Tail nodded: "Yes, go to my purely human friend's house."

 

 Gu Wen said: "If you want to leave, I won't stay. If you want to come back, I won't stop you. Just go ahead."

 

 Brown Tail bowed deeply: "Yes, the head of the family."

 

 Brown Tail left, his figure getting further and further away.

 

 Gu Wen didn't say anything, turned around and went to the dining table.

 

Kuroo looked at the meat on the plate, thought for a moment, and said, "Master, can you not take back Gray Wei's room? I miss him sometimes, so I go to his room to have a look..."

 

Gu Wen paused, holding the knife and fork a little tighter: "I never thought about touching his room."

 

 Shang Xi stared at him. At that moment, she felt that Gu Wen was sad.

 

 Although he didn't show it much, he probably felt uncomfortable as well.

 

 Shang Xi lowered his eyes and ate in silence.

 

Hearing Kuroo say: "Hai Wei has planted a lot of flowers and plants on the balcony of his room. Does any of you know how to manage them?"

 

 Most werewolves didn't grow plants, but Graytail loved tinkering with them.

 

 "I know..." Shang Xi spoke without thinking.

 

 As soon as she finished speaking, the other werewolves looked over.

 

Nang Xi paused, it seemed that she was a little bit embarrassed to say this. Although the werewolves didn't blame her, but asking her to take care of Gray Tail's flowers and plants was a bit...

 

 Gu Wen glanced at her lightly and said, "You teach me and I will manage it."

 

 "Okay." Shang Xi nodded vigorously.

 

On the balcony of Haiwei's room, too, it would be inconvenient for her to manage.

 

Moreover, Gray Tail doesn't like her very much, and he probably doesn't want her to touch his flowers.

 

The werewolves wanted everything in Gray Tail's room to stay in place, so naturally they didn't want to move the flower pots out.

 

 She ate her breakfast quickly.

 

He took a small notebook and wrote down the precautions for growing flowers and the time to water them, and handed it to Gu Wen.

 

 "I'll go ask Shang Bao to come down first..."

 

 Gu Wen raised his eyes and looked behind her, his dark eyes slightly curved: "No need."

 

 Shang Xi seemed to feel something and turned around suddenly.

 

They saw Shang Bao put on his primary school uniform, rubbing his eyes, and appeared at the stairs of the second floor, holding a small tie in one little hand.

 

 "The cub is up!"

 

 "Good morning cub!"

 

...

 

On the way to send Shang Bao to kindergarten, Shang Xi sat opposite Gu Wen again.

 

 My mood is actually a little different.

 

Their relationship still hasn't changed much, but she just feels that she understands Gu Wen at least a little bit.

 

She had to admit that this lone wolf was actually quite a nice person, apart from being narcissistic and a bit off-putting.

 

 Watching my son enter the kindergarten, I couldn't see his back.

 

 Gu Wen turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the store."

 

 "Thanks."

 

 Getting in the car, she started to put on her seat belt.

 

 Gu Wen consciously looked away.

 

 Along the way, they had nothing to say.

 

——

 

 When I went to pick up the kids in the afternoon.

 

 Shang Xi wrapped the flowers for his son and got in the car.

 

 Gu Wen took the initiative and said, "What flowers did you bring to give to the cub?"

 

Since he was not interested in flowers, he would not know what flowers they were even if he smelled them.

 

Shang Xi took out a carefully wrapped flower from his pocket - a white and delicate gardenia.

 

 Gu Wen said nothing more.

 

But after receiving the cub, he pursed his lips and felt a little unhappy when he saw the cub holding the flowers given by Shang Xi and curling up his small lips happily, but "turning a blind eye" to him.

 

 Daicen was also in the car. After returning, they were alone.

 

He said: "Mr. Gu, would you like to prepare a small gift for the young master every day? This way he will be close to you, right?"

 

 Gu Wen agreed.

 

 Dai Cen got a salary increase.

 

 The next afternoon.

 

After receiving Shang Bao, Shang Xi took out the prepared flowers with his son's expectant eyes: "This is the freshest flower in the store."

 

 It's a rose.

 

"Thank you, mom!" Shang Bao smiled and rolled his eyes, revealing his pointed little tiger teeth.

 

Gu Wen stared at the mother and son for a while, coughed slightly, and slowly took out an exquisite gift box from the pocket of his suit jacket.

 

 Placed on the table.

 

 In the curious and doubtful eyes of mother and son.

 

 He looked at the cub and said, "See if you like it."

 

 Shang Bao was a little confused.

 

 Why did dad give him a gift too?

 

 He glanced at his mother.

 

 Shang Xi nodded: "Dad gave it to you, take it and say thank you."

 

 "oh."

 

 "Thank you dad."

 

——

 

 Two updates merged, good night.

 

 Guess what gift(◔◡◔)
