He wanted cubs.
But he was in no position to ask for them.
Only if Shang Xi was willing to stay at Nanfeng Courtyard could he get close to the cubs.
Shang Xi's presence did cause him some distress to a certain extent, she was right about that.
But for the cubs, that distress could be ignored. What could he do to make her willing to stay at Nanfeng Courtyard?
He could probably guess what Gray Tail had said to her.
If he did the opposite of Gray Tail's words, would she still want to leave with the cubs after half a year?
The wolf pack in the house got along quite well with her, maybe he could learn from them.
First was the attitude issue.
He saw how the wolfmen spoke to Shang Xi in cheerful tones, smiling ear to ear, seeming very intimate.
This wouldn't be hard to learn.
So...
The time quickly came to the afternoon.
Dai Cen lowered his head to open the car door as Gu Wen bent to get in the car.
They arrived at the flower shop entrance.
Just in time to see a girl walk out carrying flowers, Shang Xi standing at the door smiling as she saw off the customer.
As she drew her gaze back, she saw the familiar black car, her smile vanishing instantly as she went into the shop.
Gu Wen saw it happen, pressing his lips together.
Dai Cen was also confused for a moment, what was going on with Miss Shang?
Shortly after, Shang Xi changed out of her casual clothes into a white dress and came back out.
Then...
The sound of Miss Shang's high heels arrived at the car.
Dai Cen heard his boss change his usual low voice entirely, speaking in a strangely cheerful tone, "Good afternoon, Shang Xi!"
Dai Cen shivered all over.
Eyes wide in disbelief, he slowly turned his head, unable to believe this voice came from Boss Gu.
No matter how he listened, it sounded bizarre, terrifying.
Like he was possessed.
But Shang Xi was even more stunned.
She had one hand on the car door, posed to get in, frozen in place.
The man in front of her had stiffly arched eyebrows, narrowed dark eyes faintly curved, he pulled up the corners of his mouth,...looking completely mocking.
?
What was up with him?
Was he unhappy about last night?
She didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.
"Miss Shang,...get in the car." Dai Cen fiercely pinched himself, telling himself to focus on his job, don't look too much, get involved too much, or overthink.
Shang Xi got in the car, head lowered as she slowly fastened her seatbelt, glancing once at the man across from her as she did. Seeing him looking out the window, his sharp side profile cold, it seemed what happened before was her illusion.
The seatbelt clicked into place.
Surely it was an illusion, she thought.
Then she saw the man's ear twitch as he turned to look at her, his originally low voice now softly asking, "Does your injury still hurt? Is it any better?"
"...This man is possessed?"
"...It doesn't hurt." It was just a superficial wound, she had only fainted last night because she was hungry and tired.
The man's brows knitted slightly, pondering.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but for a moment she felt Gu Wen was thinking about what to say next.
No way, right?
It must be her imagination.
She awkwardly took out her phone and randomly tapped and looked through it.
She heard the man continue in his strangely cheerful yet stiff voice, "...How is business today?"
Ah this...
"Still going."
Shang Xi opened her search bar.
"How many faces do werewolves have?"
"Can werewolves suddenly mutate?"
"Can werewolves be possessed?"
None of the answers were serious, but of course, in human eyes there were no such things as the wolfman tribe...
Fortunately, Gu Wen didn't ask anything else after that.
She felt that today's Gu Wen was very strange.
She even touched the small gauze on her forehead, confirming that she was the one injured last night.
While Gu Wen resumed his usual aloof expression, he had temporarily finished performing.
He was imitating how the black wolves usually interacted with Shang Xi.
He took the initiative to use a friendly expression and caring tone to ask about her well-being, and the woman was also stunned, so he felt he had performed well.
