Chapter 129
At that moment, a clicking sound came from the door, and it was pushed open from the inside.
A young boy, with a frowning face and pursed lips, stood at the doorway.
When Shang Xi saw him, she nearly gasped for air. She looked down at her own son, then back at the boy at the door.
She had never been so shocked before!!
"You're that little puppy, oh no, sorry, I mistook you. You're a little wolf cub???"
Seeing him nod in response.
Shang Xi scratched her head, her brain cells nearly fried: "No, this is too similar." If she didn't know for certain that she had given birth to only one child, she would have thought she had twins.
Do the young cubs of the Wolf Clan look so alike in their infancy? Thinking back to the village's big yellow dog from her childhood, it gave birth to four cubs, and each one looked exactly the same, only distinguishable by their size.
The Wolf Clan must be... the same, right?
She pulled her son over and squatted down: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Shang Xi, you can call me... Auntie Shang."
The boy stared at her and enunciated each word: "Shang Xi."
Er...
This child.
Shang Xi's smile faltered for a moment, but she didn't dwell on it. She looked at her son: "His full name is Shang Shu, his nickname is Baby Shang. He's a year older than you, so he's your big brother."
The boy tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if giving a cold laugh.
Shang Xi was stunned, she didn't see that wrong, did she? This child just gave a cold laugh???
"Well, whatever, you can call him by his name or however you like."
The boy said impolitely: "Shang Shu."
Baby Shang huffed: "Gu Bao!"
The boy was silent for a moment, then said: "The gold bars are for Shang Xi, don't you like them?"
Shang Xi waved her hand awkwardly: "You're Baby Shang's relative, so feel at home here, don't be polite. Let your parents take the gold bars back."
By the way, who revealed her fondness for worldly possessions!!
The boy's face was stern as he stared at her: "Shang Xi doesn't want them, just discard them."
Shang Xi thought, young master, you really just blurt things out like that.
Well, why should she take a child so seriously? How would a child know the value of gold bars? Even the Gu Family wouldn't treat gold bars like scrap paper, right?
She'll return them to his parents in half a month.
She lifted the box, ready to go inside.
But she couldn't lift it.
"Mom, let me help you!"
The boy frowned and also walked over, and with the three of them, they managed to carry the gold bars inside.
Shang Xi exhaled, recalling how Fu Su had effortlessly lifted it with one hand, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, I haven't asked your name yet."
"Mom, his name is Gu Bao!" Baby Shang said.
"That must be his nickname, right?" Shang Xi smiled.
However, seeing this child's reticence and unwillingness to talk, she didn't press further. Initially, she thought he looked very similar to her son, but their personalities were vastly different.
This child clearly had some young master airs.
She went to make the bed in the other room, planning for the two brothers to sleep in this one room, as her son was now five years old and should have his own room.
While making the bed, the boy just stood at the doorway, staring at her.
"Um, little one, can you share some of your toys with your younger brother? If not, we can go buy him some toys later."
Baby Shang hugged a bunch of toys out of his toy box and looked at the boy, snorting: "Here, for you."
The boy pursed his lips: "No need, I don't play with toys."
"Mom, he doesn't play with toys."
"I see." Shang Xi put the pillowcase on.
"For you." The boy had come over at some point and handed her a pillow.
"Ah, thank you." Shang Xi started putting the pillowcase on.
"Let me know if you want to eat something or play with something, don't be shy."
Baby Shang, holding a toy car, also came into the room: "Mom, is this the room he'll be staying in tonight?"
Shang Xi smiled: "It's also Baby's room."
Baby Shang was stunned: "But my room has always been mom's room, hasn't it?"
Shang Xi reached out and ruffled her son's hair: "Baby is five years old now, all grown up, you need to sleep on your own."
Baby Shang looked as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue, his black and white eyes widening, his chubby little face wrinkling up.
As Shang Xi was comforting her son, she noticed the boy behind her curl his lips into a rather malicious smile.
????
Shang Xi...
Shang Xi felt this wolf cub was quite something. Could this be... a true, wild wolf cub?
Seeing her son upset, he actually smiled.
How could...
He inexplicably reminded her of that occasionally crazy, mad lone wolf.
Just then, a knock came at the door.
She opened it to find Fu Su.
"I forgot to mention, Shang Xi, Gu Wen has an urgent business trip abroad now, he'll be back in half a month to see you."
Shang Xi paused, not showing much on her face: "He has his own matters to attend to, no need to tell me specifically. Oh, to explain things to my son, right? I understand."
Her son would ask where his father went, so Gu Wen had someone inform her, it made sense.
After Fu Su left.
Shang Xi was momentarily lost in thought. Go abroad on a business trip, a business trip...
She suddenly remembered what Knife Sister had said, that the young lady of the Qing Family would go on a courtship date with Gu Wen, and if their impressions of each other were good, they would go travel abroad to cultivate their relationship, while also handling some business overseas. She was slightly stunned.
So Gu Wen had completed the courtship date, felt it went well, and went abroad with that young lady?
Well, after she had rejected him so many times, he had no reason to remain hung up on her.
Everyone has to move forward with their own life, and he was already thirty years old. It was normal, speaking objectively, she hoped Gu Wen could find his happiness.
Thinking this, Shang Xi took a deep breath to calm her racing heart, turned to go get a glass of water.
"Be careful." The boy's steady voice sounded as he stood in front of her.
Shang Xi looked down to see her knee had almost bumped into the table.
What happened? The table was in the middle of the living room, but she had just walked away from the door area. How had she nearly hit it? She shook her head, feeling a wave of dizziness.
"Thank you."
She went to the water dispenser.
The boy narrowed his eyes, turning to keep his gaze fixed on her.
Shang Xi, a woman whose mouth was the only truly tough part of her.
From this, it can be seen that most of my readers are students (??∧??)
Mom! I suddenly realized I've written 300,000 words! I'm so awesome! I initially lost interest in finishing this manuscript due to the low payment, but thanks to the encouragement of my darlings' expectations, comments, and little gifts, I've written 300,000 words! Mom, I'm someone who responds to other people's (my darlings') expectations!
