Chapter 116
Gu's mother was stunned for a moment: "Packing up early? Isn't the child staying in Nanfeng Courtyard anymore?"
In front of his wolf mother, Gu Wen had no reservations.
He took a deep breath and laughed bitterly, "She has been itching to leave for a long time, the farther she is from me, the better."
"Eh—I think the child doesn't have no feelings for you at all?"
This remark made Gu Wen's heart feel relieved: "Wolf Mother, you've noticed it too?"
Gu's mother pondered worriedly for a while, then suddenly widened her eyes: "I know why she wants to leave Nanfeng Courtyard now."
Gu Wen frowned, giving his wolf mother a strange look: "What do you know?"
Gu's mother looked at him, shaking her head and sighing: "Son, you haven't prepared the bridal chamber! You let her live with so many wolfmen, she's a pure human, of course she's unwilling."
Gu Wen: ...........
Gu's mother had already turned to leave, mumbling seriously as she walked away: "Right, no bridal chamber, must hurry to prepare one."
Gu Wen: .....
Just a moment ago, he was hoping for something...
In the distance, Gu's mother turned back and said to Gu Wen:
"Son, even if she really leaves Nanfeng Courtyard, she's still in Qingcheng, right? Still in the human world, right? It's fine. Don't harm her, don't force her to stay, you need to give her freedom, you need to respect her."
"Also, don't let her see you relaxed like today, okay?"
Gu Wen lightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, somewhat self-mocking. It wasn't that he cared about Shang Xi leaving Nanfeng Courtyard.
He just cared that...Shang Xi didn't say she wanted to take him with her.
If Shang Xi left, he would be left behind in Nanfeng Courtyard.
But he couldn't say it out loud, he couldn't say: Can I come to your house?
She started packing her clothes three days early, she couldn't wait to leave him far away, which made it even harder for him to say it.
After work in the future, when he got off, he wouldn't be able to see the mother and child in Nanfeng Courtyard anymore, even though they used to spend their days like that. He wouldn't feel anything.
Nanfeng Courtyard was full of members of his tribe who were loyal to him, he was willing to live together with them, he was used to interacting with his tribesmen.
But now, just imagining Nanfeng Courtyard without the mother and child, he felt it would be dull, suffocating, uncomfortable, he didn't want to come back.
Three days later, there would no longer be the person he looked forward to seeing.
He couldn't force her to stay, he couldn't compel her, of course he knew that. Although deep down, he had such a dark thought.
But if leaving Nanfeng Courtyard was the happiness she wanted, how could he clip her wings? She had lived through so much where she wasn't in control of her life, how could he become the bad person in her memories again?
He hoped for her to be happy, to have bliss.
He hoped even more that he himself could be the one to give her a lifetime of happiness.
At this moment, the atmosphere in Nanfeng Courtyard was a bit strange.
Shang Xi was still packing, not long ago, Gu Wen appeared at her room door, expressionless, and asked what she was packing for. After she honestly answered,
Gu Wen left without a word.
Was this person angry again? Would he go crazy trying to stop her? Could she leave smoothly?
She sped up her packing, Baby Shang was putting away his toys: "Take this one too, um, take this dinosaur too..."
Downstairs, the wolfmen had difficult expressions, it wasn't comfortable standing, nor sitting, so they just lay on the ground rolling around, kicking their legs.
"The head's expression was so grim just now, he didn't say a word before leaving."
"Shang Xi is leaving in three days, I've never heard her mention it, suddenly..."
"She really must dislike us, huh, Baby won't need to drink Cold Spring in two days, she can't wait to leave..."
Yellow Tail turned pale, lowering his head: "In the future, we can't see her and the baby often anymore, huh."
Blue Tail was already secretly wiping away tears in a corner of the sofa.
Cang Ling sat on the sofa, drinking, his expression the most calm.
