Gu Wen, upon hearing this, frowned deeply.
In his opinion, Little Hippo deserved it for being useless, stupid, and only able to cry. What's the use of crying? It solves no problems.
It was reluctant to leave its river and waited for its friend to take the initiative to come back. It was wishful thinking!
If it were him, if he really cared that much, he would search the ends of the earth to bring his friend back.
He would never be stupid enough to just cry.
The cub was already fast asleep on his mother's lap.
Shang Xi pinched her son's little face, her eyes gentle and doting: "No one would not be envious of your quality of sleep!"
She looked up at Gu Wen and said softly: "Mr. Gu, please take him to his room to sleep."
The cub was asleep.
In the room, there were only two sober adults left, a man and a woman, and that awkward feeling came over them again.
As Shang Xi watched the man in the black pajamas walk over, his features handsome and expression aloof as he bent down to gently pick up their son, she leaned back to avoid any physical contact between them.
They were very close to each other.
Neither looked at the other.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable, Gu Wen carried the cub and turned to go back to the room.
Shang Xi twitched her nose, thinking to herself that the smell of this lone wolf wasn't half bad.
With Gu Wen accompanying their son to sleep, she was at ease and soon fell asleep as well.
In the family room, Gu Wen was wide awake.
Shang Xi was just outside on the bed.
If he wanted, he could see her.
Such a good opportunity, and she had fallen asleep again? Shouldn't he be able to watch her openly now? What was he still lying here for?
The woman's long hair was loose, her skin snow white, her delicate little face nestled into the pillow as she breathed softly.
Shang Xi had turned off the lights in the room earlier, finding it too bright to sleep, leaving only one dim, yellow light on.
The Wolf Clan have excellent night vision, the darkness no different from day to them.
Standing by the bed, Gu Wen greedily stared at the sleeping beauty, desire burning in his eyes.
He wanted to reach out and touch her soft long hair, he wanted to kiss her forehead, he wanted to nip at her neck, lick her collarbones...
Of course, these were just thoughts.
Shang Xi had not yet agreed to be his mate, he shouldn't let his desires run wild.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the balcony: "Clack!"
Gu Wen's pitch-black eyes instantly turned sharp as he snapped his head towards the balcony.
This was the eighth floor of the inpatient building. For someone to get in from the balcony at this late hour, the probability of them being a pure human was very low.
Barging in like this instead of using the front door...
Gu Wen's eyes darkened as he shielded Shang Xi behind himself, his cold glowing green eyes fixed warily at the balcony.
The balcony door clicked open.
A tall woman dressed all in white stood at the entrance, her white hair tied up in a high ponytail. The moonlight shone on her and she seemed to glow white.
She greeted Gu Wen casually, "Hi! Don't get excited, I'm one of you."
Gu Wen frowned. "It's you."
"Surprised to see me? Didn't you catch my scent?"
Seeing it was someone familiar and not a threat, the green glow faded from Gu Wen's eyes as he said indifferently, "Forgot."
Why would he bother remembering the scent of an irrelevant female wolf?
"What are you doing here at this hour?"
The woman walked in, lips curling in a smirk. "Satisfying my curiosity."
She came to the bedside, looking at the deeply sleeping human woman.
In the next moment, she leaned down, getting closer and closer. "Not bad looking, you got quite a catch."
Gu Wen's frown deepened, his voice lowered in displeasure. "Stay away from her."
The woman sniffed at the air, "Such a strong floral scent."
Gu Wen glared at her coldly, "White Tail! Know your limits."
"Oh come on, I'm a female wolf, why are you getting so worked up?"
Gu Wen gave a derisive laugh. "Sorry but I see nothing of a female wolf in you."
"Still just as nasty after all these years." White Tail shook her head. "No saving you. Just wait for your death."
With a light leap, she landed gracefully and headed for the family room.
The cub was sleeping soundly, soft and milky sweet. Utterly adorable.
Emerging from the room, White Tail sneered. "I used to pity you but now I see you're living the good wolf life."
Gu Wen was out of patience. "Said your piece, now scram."
Shang Xi was a light sleeper. In that moment, she had woken up for no reason, slowly opening her eyes.
She saw a figure lightly leaping, disappearing onto the balcony. The moon shone on the woman, she was very pale, very beautiful.
Shang Xi thought she must be dreaming to see a goddess.
Just then, she heard the goddess say, "I'll be at Nanfeng Courtyard for a while, thank me for being here to celebrate your birthday."
Shang Xi was stunned for a second before she realized who it was.
Gu Wen's beloved female wolf, White Tail, had come to the hospital looking for him.
White Tail had probably gone to Nanfeng Courtyard, found Gu Wen wasn't there, so came specially to the hospital to find him instead.
As White Tail's figure vanished over the balcony railing, Shang Xi slowly sat up.
She said, "You can go spend time with her, you don't have to stay here."
Tomorrow's preview: The lone wolf makes an embarrassed confession.
His mother: Heartless mockery.
