Chapter 56

Shang Xi circled around the car looking for her cub, and when she turned for the ninth round, a tall figure blocked her way. She squinted up and recognized who it was, then bluntly said, "Oh it's you, move aside."

Gu Wen lowered his eyes to look at the red-faced woman, and pressed his lips together.

He had noticed long ago that Shang Xi's attitude toward him changed a lot when she was drunk. Usually, she was polite and distant, calling him Mr. Gu.

Now, as soon as she saw him, her face showed some impatience.

It was as if... as if this was the real her, with the wine tearing off her everyday disguise, revealing her true colors.

He stared at Shang Xi, his jet black eyes flickered, as if confirming something. He asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Maybe she didn't recognize him.

That's why her attitude was different from usual.

His words left Shang Xi confused for a moment: "Aren't you Gu Wen?"

Gu Wen: "......"

She recognized him.

Then, does she dislike him?

His thin lips tightened slightly: "The cub is in Nanfeng Courtyard, let's go back."

She has no reason to not dislike him.

Over the past two months, his performance in front of her was too poor. Miss Dao was right, the cub was four years old, she raised him alone, and during the years he was absent, he did not share any of her tiring work. She should resent him.

But he couldn't even give her a card, twice.

Their relationship was actually very stiff.

That moment of elation after confirming she didn't have a date with Rong Wen, it started to shake uncontrollably.

He was shocked by this change in mood himself.

Seeing Shang Xi, upon hearing "the cub is sleeping in Nanfeng Courtyard," climbed into the driver's seat, seemingly about to drive back to Nanfeng Courtyard right away, disregarding him.

Gu Wen pressed his brow and silently walked to the driver's side door, stopping the woman who wanted to drive.

"Let me drive, get down."

"Why can't I drive? I got my license."

"You drank." Gu Wen looked at her quietly.

Shang Xi suddenly realized, climbing over to the passenger seat with hands and feet: "Oh right, I drank, can't drink and drive."

She wore a cropped top that exposed her waist. When she climbed over, her lower back was largely revealed, fair and dazzling.

Gu Wen inadvertently saw this scene, his pupils contracted, and his breathing abruptly stalled.

Then he quickly turned his face away.

The side of his face was sharp and angular, his jawline clear and deep. His throat rolled.

Memories that he had deliberately suppressed and avoided recalling were released from imprisonment, floating up in his mind scene by scene.

A woman's smile swaying, looking at him with arousing red eyes, hugging his neck, praising his good looks...

The tall figure standing by the car door suddenly moved under the black hair, and in the next moment, two long big ears popped up.

Behind the man, a shiny black tail also appeared.

Right outside this lively bar where someone could walk by anytime.

He lost control again.

He's gone mad!

The man's breathing was unstable. He flashed into the driver's seat and closed the door.

He took a slow breath, making sure no one saw, then put away his ears and tail.

Then he heard the familiar scent of the woman: "Wow! It's Big Ears!"

The next second, his tail was grabbed hard by a pair of hands. The woman's voice was shocked and amazed: "What a huge tail!"

At that moment, Gu Wen only felt his mind go "boom", and his head blanked out for a second. His body tensed up as he looked at the culprit. His voice was even several degrees lower when he opened his mouth: "Cough... Shang Xi, let go."

It was as if she grabbed his weak spot.

Shang Xi didn't let go. She stared wide-eyed, her drunk flushed face full of surprise, grabbing his tail with both hands, unable to wrap around completely. Her hands slid along the middle of the tail to the tip.

"Shang Xi!" Gu Wen's face burned, his lips pressed tight, almost groaning.

A werewolf's tail was an extremely sensitive area.

Whether it was five years ago or now, no one but Shang Xi dared to touch his tail.

If it were anyone else, he would have flung them away long ago, but this was Shang Xi. He could only keep swallowing saliva, reaching out to grasp the woman's hands and pull them away.

If she kept stroking it like that, he would...

Gu Wen lightly coughed, his throat rolling.

He tried his best to calm down and steady his breathing, withdrawing his ears and tail.

Then he saw Shang Xi looking at him with regret.

Gu Wen paused briefly, asking in a hoarse, slightly awkward voice: "Do you...like my tail?"

If she really liked it that much, he wouldn't mind...

Shang Xi frowned: "I was wondering, what kind of huge dog would have such a big tail?"

Gu Wen: "......"

It's a dog again!

"What kind of giant dog would cost so much to feed every month?"

"......"

"One look and you can tell it eats a lot. I can't even wrap my hands around this tail."

"............"

Gu Wen gritted his teeth: "Shang Xi, I'm not..."

"But I don't have any allowance, Second Uncle doesn't give me any. I would raise you if I had allowance."

Gu Wen frowned slightly: "Second Uncle? The pure human who raised you since you were a cub?"

When he was a cub, he also had a human friend who lived at his Second Uncle's house. Second Uncle was typically the father's younger brother. Most pure humans had one.

"When I can earn my own money in the future, I will raise you." Shang Xi lowered her eyes slightly, speaking in a somewhat dejected tone.

Gu Wen's heart tightened: "I have money, I'll give it to you." His tone was hurried in a way he didn't even realize himself.

After saying that, Gu Wen took out his wallet, flipped it open. There was a stack of cards inside, but only thirty dollars in cash. Gu Wen regretted for a moment not keeping more cash on hand.

He held out the wallet to her, his tone low and serious: "Not much cash, but still some money in the cards."

The "some money" he mentioned could be easily imagined.

The woman's slender fair fingers took his black wallet.

Gu Wen unconsciously clenched his hand. His dark eyes darkened a few shades, pleased by this scene.

His personal belonging was touched by this woman.

It still had his scent on it.

Werewolves had strong possessive desires toward their mates. They would rub their scents on each other, until in the end, it was as if they had exchanged scents. Wherever one of them went, it was the other's smell.

Blatantly declaring he/she already has a mate.

They cherished their personal belongings and wouldn't easily let others touch them.

Letting someone else have your scent was quite an intimate hint.

So in the werewolf tribe, some naturally shy werewolves, after developing feelings for someone, would deliberately leave heavily scented items behind as a subtle hint.

Apart from this, most werewolves expressed their affection very directly without hiding it. After getting consent from the other party and ensuring no rejection, they would start currying favor and showing affection.

The most obvious one was licking.

Gu Wen stared at the woman's fair fingers holding his black wallet, looking even whiter against it. He badly wanted to lick the back of her hand...

To coat it with more of his scent, the little on the wallet wasn't nearly enough...

Shang Xi was completely oblivious to what the werewolf beside her was thinking. She held the wallet and looked around the car, finally saying dejectedly: "It's gone, the big dog already left."

"I can't raise it even if I wanted to, it didn't wait for me, it's gone."

At that moment, hearing the loss and sadness in Shang Xi's voice, Gu Wen only felt his heart being pulled and aching. His thin lips parted and he just said it: "I'll raise you."

He admitted he was...a dog.

He told her to raise him.

Gu Wen snapped back to his senses, took a deep breath, and pressed his brow. He felt he had gone mad!

Shang Xi probably didn't hear what he said, because she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Didn't even put on her seatbelt.

Gu Wen stared at her face for a while. For some reason, his ears and tail, which he had previously retracted, popped out again.

Fortunately, Shang Xi was asleep. He breathed a subtle sigh of relief.

After all, if she grabbed his tail again, he really wouldn't be able to control himself and would react...

His face flushed as he held his breath and leaned in to buckle Shang Xi's seatbelt for her.

As the seatbelt slid over the woman's bulging chest, Gu Wen glanced at it briefly before averting his gaze, leaving his unfurled tail behind him stiff and motionless...

He drove the car and stopped in front of a bank.
