Chapter 143
Her eyes shone brightly, and as she was just thinking that, the giant wolf, as if sensing what was on her mind, lowered its body and hooked her with its tail, tossing her onto its back, before leaving the room.
They went to the balcony.
Shang Xi felt both excited and a little flustered, whispering, "Don't wake up the baby. Where are you going at this late hour?"
The giant wolf wrapped its tail around her on its back, as if preventing her from falling, and leaped from the balcony, enveloping Shang Xi in its soft, fluffy fur, shielding her from the night breeze.
She felt her perspective rising.
The giant wolf stopped at the rooftop of this building.
It was a twenty-story building!!
Shang Xi cautiously opened her eyes on the wolf's back, parting the fur to reveal the night view of the city.
Nestled in the warm, fuzzy embrace, she wasn't cold at all. In the dead of night, she was perched on the wolfman's back, twenty floors up, gazing at the night scenery.
Shang Xi found it all absurd yet amusing.
This guy... always pulling this trick, but it's a good thing she didn't have a fear of heights, otherwise she wouldn't be able to go along with it.
"Gu Wen... are you cold?"
The giant wolf let out a low growl and shook its head.
What cold? They were the Snow Mountain wolfmen.
Shang Xi clearly understood this and realized she had asked a silly question. She reached out and stroked the soft fur, feeling relaxed in body and mind.
Staying like this, quietly admiring the night view, felt so warm and comfortable.
To spend a lifetime like this with this wolfman.
Watching the stars, watching the night scenery, his back as her bed, his fur as her blanket, accompanying each other, never to part again - that would be truly wonderful.
She let out a soft laugh, her eyes curving into crescents.
Back in the room.
Gu Wen shifted into his human form and followed her into the room.
"We are mates now, but that's the baby's room."
Shang Xi thought that made sense, but to sleep in the same bed as Gu Wen, wouldn't that be...
"If Shang isn't willing, I won't do anything," Gu Wen said seriously, as if knowing what she was thinking.
They haven't had a wedding ceremony or officially registered their marriage, which are things that give humans a sense of security.
But now, those were the things that gave him a sense of security.
He wanted Shang Xi to become his wife in the eyes of human law.
He wanted to have a grand and lively wedding ceremony to make those coveting her back off.
After staying in the hospital for so long, there was a pile of important work at his company that had accumulated, and Gu Yao had been busy handling it in his stead. She was less suited than him to deal with ordinary humans.
So now, he had no spare thoughts.
Tomorrow morning, he would send the baby to school and start getting busy himself.
Shang Xi thought it over and agreed. She and Gu Wen had already decided to spend their lives together, so whether they were officially married or not didn't make much difference.
Aside from not having a wedding ceremony and registration, they were already like a family of three.
They were both adults nearing thirty, not irresponsible youngsters.
"For now, I don't have that intention, we'll talk about it later," she said somewhat awkwardly.
Gu Wen replied, "Mm, as you wish."
Then...
Shang Xi was held around the waist by those large hands, embraced against his chest, her face flushing and heart pounding for a long time before they finally fell asleep.
The next day.
After waking up, Baby Shang discovered that his father had gone to his mother's room. He frowned and glared at Gu Wen.
He knew that other parents usually slept in the same room, but knowing that was one thing, and not being upset about it was another.
He had just gotten his own little room, and now his father had taken his place.
This guy...
Was he trying to take his mother away?
Baby Shang, who had always held the belief that "Mom finding a man is a good thing," had this thought for the first time.
However, after sulking for a while and receiving many gifts from his father, as well as seeing his mother's bright, rosy face, he thought...
Okay.
He wasn't a clueless baby anymore.
Whatever his mom wanted to do, she had her reasons. Since she had agreed to let his father into her room, he wouldn't cause any trouble.
Half a month after Gu Wen was discharged from the hospital.
He proposed to Shang Xi.
Staying up late to write one more update. Countdown to the completion of the full story. Things are getting busy in the real world, and I need to start earning money for the New Year. I know readers want me to write more and more, but I don't have the energy or time. If I were a wealthy heir, I would fulfill everyone's wishes, but unfortunately, I am not.
