She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 78

On every birthday, Shang Xi would gather with friends and her son to have a meal, eat cake, and blow out candles.

Either at home, buying groceries and cooking with friends while chatting and laughing.

Shang Xi has been staying at Nanfeng Courtyard for three months.

In another three months, she will return to her new house.

For her 26th birthday, she decided to celebrate at her own home.

Buying groceries, lighting up the new house, and having a lively celebration with friends would be meaningful.

Little did she know, as soon as she entered the bathroom to freshen up, her little bundle of joy, who was sound asleep on the big bed, suddenly opened his eyes wide and climbed out of bed.

The little one had messy black short hair with two tufts sticking up, and his small wolf-like ears twitched as he glanced towards the bathroom.

His mother was brushing her teeth.

He quickly crawled down from the bed, wiggling his little bottom, and retrieved a small box from under the bed. This was the gift he had prepared well in advance.

He hugged the box and opened his own backpack, placing it inside.

Because last night before going to bed, his mother had mentioned celebrating her birthday at their own home instead of Nanfeng Courtyard.

After hiding the small gift, he rubbed his eyes with his small hand, let out a little yawn, and began getting dressed.

His mother always placed the clothes he would wear the next day on the nightstand. Wagging his little tail, he walked over.

On the nightstand was a new outfit, a white round-collar sweatshirt with a chubby cartoon rabbit pattern on the chest.

Baby Shang held the little sweatshirt, stared at the chubby rabbit with his pitch-black eyes, licked his tiny lips, and happily put on the sweatshirt.

After putting it on, he lowered his gaze, pinched the rabbit's ears, and made a little sound as if saying, "I'm going to eat you~"

Shang Xi finished washing up and came out to see her son already dressed in his little outfit. She was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Wow! Baby Shang dressed himself, how amazing! You look so cute!"

Baby Shang stood beside the sofa, holding a toy car in one hand and gripping the hem of his clothes with the other. His chubby cheeks puffed up a bit, and he shyly pursed his tiny lips, as if feeling a little embarrassed by the praise.

Then, he put the toy car down and ran towards Shang Xi, saying, "Mommy."

"Come on, after brushing your teeth and washing your face, let's go grocery shopping together, okay?"

"Okay," Baby Shang nodded vigorously.

Shang Xi's eyes curved as she gently pinched his cheek.

By 8 o'clock, everything was ready. Shang Xi held her son's hand and walked out of the room, stepping on the carpet, crossing the corridor, and going downstairs.

The lobby on the first floor instantly became lively as the werewolves started clamoring.

"Oh, she's here! She's here."

"Shang Xi is coming down. I want to be the first one to give her a gift."

"Don't compete with me, I'll go first!"

"Hehe, me first!" Red tail dashed up the stairs like a streak of smoke and howled, extending both hands, saying, "Shang Xi, happy birthday! This is the gift I prepared for you."

It was a long and narrow wooden box with delicate carvings on it, looking like it had some age to it.

Shang Xi was stunned.

"This..."

Wasn't this an antique?

"It's too valuable, thank you, but I can't..."

"You should put it on quickly. It will definitely look great on you," Red Tail wagged her tail and sweetly smiled, revealing a dimple on her face.

It seemed like she was seeking praise?

Shang Xi awkwardly smiled, feeling a bit hesitant, especially when she saw the werewolves on the first floor lining up on the stairs. Each werewolf was holding a small gift, wagging their tails, and looking at her with eager anticipation. Her headache grew worse.

They all hoped she would happily accept the gifts.

As for her, could she say that she didn't really want to accept them?

Red Tail, for example, came up and immediately presented such valuable gifts. At least in her opinion, they were valuable. But their relationship didn't seem to have reached the point where she should accept such valuable gifts, right?

She smiled and said, "How did you all know today is my birthday?"

"Mom! I told them!" Baby Shang raised his chin, proudly speaking up, looking at so many werewolf uncles giving gifts and congratulating his mom, and he became happy too.

Shang Xi: ...

Thank you, her good big son.

She looked at those small gifts, feeling like she was seeing a debt to be repaid, feeling somewhat exhausted.

"I appreciate your intentions, thank you everyone. But let's forget about the gifts, alright?"

The werewolves didn't expect her to reject the gifts.

When she said that, they were all stunned.

But when they looked at Shang Xi, she was still easygoing, gentle, and didn't seem any different.

It had been three months, and they really liked Shang Xi. Shang Xi was a good person, often telling them stories. They thought their relationship was already good.

But why didn't she accept the birthday gifts they gave?

The werewolves were confused. Was something wrong? For the first time, they realized that Shang Xi was so close yet so far away.

Black Tail hurriedly said, "Well... that's fine too. The kitchen will prepare a big feast today. We'll go order a large cake for you later. It's your first birthday here at Nanfeng Courtyard, and we want to celebrate with you."

"Yes, Black Tail is right."

"Is that okay, Shang Xi? What do you think?"

Shang Xi shook her head, smiling softly as she said, "Thank you all, I appreciate your kind thoughts, but today I won't be at Nanfeng Courtyard. So there's no need to order a cake for me. You don't have to worry about me. It's just an ordinary birthday, not a big deal."

After speaking, her gaze involuntarily swept across the wolf pack and the first floor.

She paused for a moment, realizing that Gu Wen wasn't there yet. Was he still upstairs?

But it had nothing to do with her.

After she finished speaking, she took her son's hand and went downstairs, leaving the living room and getting into her own car.

Baby Shang sat in his safety seat, his big eyes filled with confusion. "Mom, why didn't you accept their gifts? Don't you like them?"

Shang Xi remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Mom has already accepted their gifts."

Baby Shang furrowed his little brows in confusion. "Accepted them?" He didn't see that.

"Mom has accepted their heartfelt gifts and their well-wishes. It's not just about material things, you know."

"Heartfelt gifts?" Baby Shang tilted his head, seeming to understand and yet not fully grasping.

"Yes," Shang Xi whispered softly, "Just like when you say 'Happy Birthday' to Mom, Mom also receives your gift."

"Mommy, I understand now!"

Baby Shang's eyes curved with delight. "Mommy, happy birthday. Mommy, you are the most outstanding and amazing. You are the best!"

Baby Shang extended a little hand and gestured. "Mommy is the best—the very best mommy in the world!"

Shang Xi pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

"Thank you, my little one. Mommy is very happy. In my eyes, you are also the best little one in the world."

Baby Shang blinked his big eyes, his voice tender and innocent, as he asked earnestly, "So, Mommy, have you received my heartfelt wishes?"

"Mommy has received them!" The mother and son drove along the road halfway up the mountain, getting closer to their home.
