She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 58: Sick



Chapter 58

Shang Xi woke up feeling a bit uncomfortable after getting drunk last night, but she thought she could ignore it. After all, her son was looking at her with anticipation, eager to go out and play.

Now that she had weekends off, she wanted to spend more time with her son.

The appearance of Gu Wen had indeed relieved a lot of pressure for her. Regardless of her relationship with Gu Wen, she no longer had to worry about her son's basic needs. He had everything he needed in terms of housing, money, and a wife, thanks to his wealthy father.

This made her feel much lighter mentally.

Before, although she had some savings, she used to work late and was reluctant to close her business, fearing that she might miss out on a deal.

Because she wasn't sure what would happen the next second, her savings were like those of an orphaned mother - they could be wiped out by a serious illness. Others had siblings to support them, but she didn't. She only had herself, and her son had only her.

She had a strong sense of insecurity and always wanted to earn more money.

But after Gu Wen appeared,

these worries and anxieties diminished greatly.

Her son now wore shirts worth tens of thousands of yuan, shoes worth over a hundred thousand, and an outrageous backpack that cost five hundred thousand.

She didn't even know if it was a gold or silver backpack.

This was something she had never thought of before. No matter what financial crisis she faced, her son still had his father.

Shang Xi thought that, in terms of being rich, this lone wolf was indeed useful.

Gu Wen was not her friend. Even if they were good friends, it would still be a burden for him to help her every time. But Gu Wen was her son's father, and anything he gave to their son was only natural and his responsibility. So she felt no psychological burden.

In their son's affairs, he was indeed a good comrade and partner.

They both tacitly postponed work for the past two days and stayed with their son.

So, she could ignore the slight discomfort.

She dressed up nicely and went downstairs. In the midst of the wolfman's presence, she sat at the dining table, the last one to have breakfast.

Gu Wen sat in the main seat, already neatly dressed, with a well-ironed shirt, diamond buttons securely fastened, and a strong, muscular chest that showed he was in good shape.

On his slender and fair hands, he wore a valuable wristwatch, and the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.

Their cub sat on his lap, and father and son both stared at Shang Xi.

Red Tail wagged his tail and stood next to Shang Xi, saying, "Shang Xi, you got drunk last night, didn't you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Black Tail, sitting behind Shang Xi, sighed, "Shang Xi, you should drink less. Look at Cang Ling, he's already turned into a mess from drinking."

Most of the wolfmen in Nanfeng Courtyard didn't drink because they had all witnessed how addictive alcohol had affected Cang Ling: he had a scruffy beard and looked like a sloppy ghost. It scared those who had just come down from the mountain a few years ago.

They were still young and they all wanted to find partners.

How could they let alcohol turn them into a lonely mess like him!

Blue Tail, who was smaller in stature, usually sat quietly in the center of the group and rarely spoke up.

But now, seeing Shang Xi's slightly tired eyes, she couldn't help but speak, "Shang Xi, you should drink less from now on, okay?"

Shang Xi listened to everyone's words and nodded, pursing her lips. "Thank you all for your concern. I rarely drink."

Her dining movements were slow and elegant, and her smile was warm and beautiful. But upon closer inspection, one could see a slight stiffness in the corners of her lips.

Anyone would feel immense pressure when being scrutinized by so many Wolfmen while eating.

And there was that lone Wolfman next to her, silent and staring at her. His presence was even stronger than Black Tail and the others, as if he wanted to bore a hole into her.

Shang Xi...

Shang Xi had really gone too far.

What's so fascinating about her eating?

She ate slower and slower, feeling self-conscious under everyone's gaze. Towards the end, she didn't even want to put any more food into her mouth.

Her stomach felt a bit uncomfortable.

At first, it was a heavy sinking pain, but soon she felt like her intestines were twisted into a knot, a sharp and intense pain. She frowned in pain and let out a cry, dropping her chopsticks.

The Wolfmen, who were chatting happily, suddenly heard the sound and froze.

Gu Wen's face slightly changed. He put the cub down, stood up, and approached Shang Xi, furrowing his brows. "What's wrong with you?"

"Mommy!" Baby Shang furrowed his little brows, full of concern, and hurriedly came closer.

"I..." Shang Xi's forehead quickly became covered in cold sweat, her face turned pale, and she forcefully clutched her stomach.

Gu Wen frowned, bent down, and lifted Shang Xi horizontally. "I'll take you to the hospital."

"I'll drive!" Black Tail rushed towards the door.

Amidst the worried and noisy voices of the Wolfmen, Shang Xi was held in Gu Wen's arms. Gu Wen had a tense expression as he swiftly walked towards the door.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Baby Shang followed behind his dad, anxiously running. He was small amidst the towering Wolfmen, his head only reaching their thighs, but his concern for his mother surpassed everyone else's.

Cang Ling picked up the cub from behind. "Don't be afraid, little one."

Shang Xi furrowed her brows, gritted her teeth, endured for a while, and heard her son's anxious voice. She took a difficult breath, and with great effort, said, "Don't... be afraid, Mommy is fine."

Was it because she drank too much last night?

Why was she feeling so uncomfortable?

A gust of wind brushed past her ears, and Gu Wen, who was carrying her, wasn't actually walking but leaping. When Shang Xi reacted, she was already in the car.

She lay in Gu Wen's arms, her face pale, and forcefully pulled at his white shirt, wanting to get up and leave. "I... I feel like vomiting..."

Right now, all Shang Xi wanted was to get away from Gu Wen.

She was going to vomit.

She absolutely couldn't vomit on him.

His expensive shirt, diamond buttons, and pleasant scent—she couldn't vomit on him...

"Let... me down."

Before she could finish the three words, she couldn't bear it anymore. She forcefully pulled at Gu Wen's white shirt and vomited in agony.

In that moment, Shang Xi felt so embarrassed that she wanted to die.

The last thing she wanted was to reveal such an ugly side to Gu Wen. Over the years, she had already achieved a respectable life. The life she had dreamed of since childhood was now a dignified reality.

In front of Rong Wen, in Nanfeng Courtyard, and while dining with this group of Wolfmen, she always paid attention to her image. It wasn't about being noble or elegant; she just wanted to maintain a dignified and graceful demeanor, without making any mistakes.

She had heard enough of the phrase, "Having a mother but lacking a mother's teachings."

She was afraid of embarrassing her son with her every move.

But this momentary display of ugliness forcefully dragged her back to the days when she was the opposite of respectable, as if she were a monster revealing her true form, how laughable... and pitiful... and utterly ashamed and embarrassed.

Gu Wen's white shirt was stained with her vomit.

He was still a Wolfman, oh no, everyone here was a Wolfman, and they must have all smelled it, right?

The intense embarrassment made her even ignore the pain. She tightly held onto Gu Wen's white shirt, not wanting to look up and face it all.

Actually... she had already faced many things bravely.

Perhaps, at this moment, her physical discomfort hindered her courage.

From the beginning, Gu Wen disliked pure humans and didn't like her. Several times he told her to stay away.

And now, she had vomited directly on him.

Such a thing, even if it were humans instead of Wolfmen, would still be a matter of concern.

Just when she thought she was going to be thrown out harshly, she saw him furrow his brows and heard him say those embarrassing words.

A soft handkerchief brushed past her lips, and she was held in a different position, one that made it easier to vomit without choking on the vomit.

"Still feeling sick?" Gu Wen's voice was low, tinged with a hint of nervousness. "Will this help a bit?"

Immediately after, Gu Wen's tone turned stern. "Black Tail, did you get your driver's license for nothing? Go to the nearest hospital!"

Black Tail nodded vigorously. "Okay!"

Shang Xi was somewhat stunned.

Gu Wen's reaction was something she never expected.

After vomiting, she did feel a little better.

She herself could smell the vomit. Gu Wen was a Wolfman, so he must be feeling very uncomfortable.

Shang Xi still didn't have the courage to lift her head. She didn't want to see Gu Wen's expression at this moment. "I'm sorry... for soiling your clothes."

Gu Wen's handsome brows furrowed, showing restlessness. He was originally thinking that human bodies were too delicate, that their resistance was weak, and they were easily susceptible to viruses and illness.

He didn't expect Shang Xi's first words to be about this. He was thinking about how to comfort a woman who was enduring pain, because whether it was a female Wolfman or a pure human woman, they were prone to being coquettish and troublesome when in pain and discomfort.

When he suddenly heard her say something irrelevant, he furrowed his brows and said seriously, "It's just a piece of clothing, dirty it and throw it away. Does throwing up make you feel any better?"

Shang Xi nodded slightly.

She thought, had Gu Wen been possessed? He seemed like a different person, like he had turned into a Wolfman.

She was somewhat surprised and quickly glanced at him, then averted her gaze, completely unable to understand. "Don't you... find it disgusting?"

Gu Wen's gaze fixed on her steadily. "Yours, I don't find it disgusting."

Shang Xi was taken aback.

What did he mean by "yours," he didn't find it disgusting?

What on earth was this? Did she mishear?

Gu Wen's voice was deep and serious as it came from above her, "Everyone gets sick at times, and the first thing we should do is to treat our bodies. The word 'dirty' should not appear in this context."

"You're just sick."

He spoke earnestly and naturally, and Shang Xi's embarrassment gradually disappeared. She was convinced.

It was hard to imagine that she had vomited in the arms of this lone wolf, and he not only wasn't angry but also calmly chatted with her, as if... comforting her?

She must have been mistaken. How could the victim, who was covered in vomit, be consoling her? It was impossible!

But she did feel somewhat relieved.

Her stomach still felt uncomfortable, and after arriving at the hospital, Shang Xi was rushed into the emergency room.

Before entering the emergency room, Cang Ling rushed in with the cub in his arms, allowing him to see his mother. The little wolf cub's eyes turned red, but he still tried to keep a straight face. "Mom, I'll wait here for you."

Shang Xi lay on the medical cart with Gu Wen on her left side, Cang Ling and their son on her right side, along with Black Tail and Green Tail who had come running...

Shang Xi looked at her son, her face pale as she smiled weakly, "Good boy, don't wander off."

Baby Shang reached out his little hand as if he wanted to grab her, but then thought of something and retracted his hand. His pitch-black eyes became teary, "Mom, I'll be good... sniff..." He pursed his little lips and managed to hold back his tears. "You have to come out too."

Shang Xi nodded and looked at Gu Wen.

Gu Wen seemed to guess what she wanted to say and spoke first, "I'll watch over the cub."

Shang Xi felt relieved.

The nurse pushed the cart quickly towards the emergency room.

The doctor diagnosed acute appendicitis and recommended surgery.

In the corridor.

Gu Wen stood there wearing a white shirt, his chest connected to his stomach with suspicious marks. Despite his disheveled appearance, there were still nurses' family members who turned back to take another look.

He noticed the little cub leaning against the wall in silence, tugging at his clothes. He walked over and squatted down, "Your mom will be out soon, heard that?"

They could hear the doctors' conversation.

Emergency appendectomy, just a few minutes, no major issues.

"Yeah." Baby Shang nodded, pursing his little mouth. He looked at the dirtied area on Gu Wen's chest and said, "Thank you, Dad."

He was too small to carry his mom, but Dad easily carried her into the car.

He was somewhat grateful to be at Dad's house.

All the wolfmen from Nanfeng Courtyard had come, standing in a row along the corridor wall.

They felt somewhat uncomfortable amidst the constant flow of ordinary humans.

Their bodies were stiff, motionless, and they only dared to communicate in hushed voices:

"What's appendicitis? Does it come from drinking alcohol?"

"Shang Xi is going to have surgery. I hope it won't be too painful, ouch."

"After the surgery, we can't make her laugh. The doctors said the wound might burst."

"I heard the doctor will use a big knife for the surgery..." Before Green Tail could finish, he noticed the gaze of the cub and felt nervous and sorry, concerned for him.

"Cough, I remembered it wrong. It was a very small knife, so small that you couldn't even see it when it fell on the ground."

The young cub finally relaxed and withdrew his gaze.

Soon, Shang Xi was brought out. The appendectomy surgery was not major, and she only needed to stay in the hospital for two to three days before she could go home.

She received anesthesia, and her whole body felt a bit groggy.

Baby Shang tightly held her mother's hand and didn't run anywhere. He followed her to the ward and never left the room again.

Two hours later.

She regained full consciousness.

Father and son were standing by the bedside, while the other Wolfmen were sent away somewhere.

The big and the small, both with equally dark eyes, stared at her.

"Mom! You're awake!!" Baby Shang gently embraced his mother's hand and rubbed his round face against the back of her hand, his eyes full of happiness and dependence.

Gu Wen glanced enviously at the young cub, restraining himself, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Shang Xi received anesthesia and underwent a minor surgery. She was a bit groggy as she looked at the father and son. For a moment, she felt like they were just an ordinary, normal family of three.

For so many years, she had always told herself to work hard and be strong, to persevere.

In this moment, lying there lazily and weakly, she didn't have to worry about her business at the shop, or about no one taking her son to school tomorrow. Her partner could handle things now.

"Thank you for today, I mean, for the vomiting incident." She was referring to the incident earlier.

"Shang Xi, it's something I should do."

Gu Wen said this, but he didn't hear her voice of retort. His mood improved slightly.

He saw Shang Xi staring at him with a somewhat strange look in her eyes.

"I feel like... you've changed a lot." Could it be that she found out?

Gu Wen, however, turned his back, his ears turning red.

Did she discover... his feelings for her?

He pursed his lips, tightly gripping the hand by his side, his throat rolling, feeling increasingly parched.

Two chapters merged. Thank you for the little gift, my dears.

Let me say it again, it's impossible to change the male lead or write a tragic ending for the male lead. If you don't like the male or female lead, you don't have to read it. No need to torment yourself. There's a wife-chasing crematorium, haha. I think the reason why the male lead became the male lead is because he has a deeper and more suitable love for the female lead, a love tailored for her... a humble lone wolf, seeking a wife online ????
