She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 23

In the car on the way to preschool.

Silence spread.

A big one and a small one sat in the car, neither knowing what to say.

Baby Shang's mood was affected a little. He lowered his head to look at the small car in his hand without making a sound.

He was thinking about his mom at home.

When they were close to arriving at the school, Gu Wen's personal phone rang.

Seeing the two characters "Shang Xi", he paused for a moment before answering.

The woman's voice came gently through the phone, her tone very plain: "Mr. Gu, sorry, I just woke up. Have you arrived at the preschool?"

Gu Wen saw the little one suddenly lift up his head, his big eyes staring tightly at his phone.

"Almost there."

On the phone, the woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good. Can you give the phone to Baby Shang?"

Whether he gave it or not didn't make a difference anyway, the hearing of werewolves was too good.

"Mom!!" Baby Shang couldn't wait to yell, reaching out his little hand.

Gu Wen silently handed the phone to him.

Then he heard the woman's voice gentle by several degrees in the phone.

"Baby, I'm sorry, mom overslept and couldn't take you to school."

Even though he could hear with the phone held much further away, the little one still pressed the phone tightly to his ear, as if trying to get closer to his mom.

Because his face was chubby and small, the phone was a little too big for him, poking a dimple into his little cheek.

Hearing his mother's voice, he shook his little short legs, completely changing his previously gloomy mood, and vigorously shook his head, saying seriously: "It’s okay, mom is tired and needs to sleep more."

"Mom is fine, it's just a scrape on my forehead, don't worry okay? I’ll pick you up in the afternoon."

Gu Wen just watched the little one frown, looking rather solemn: "Mom needs to rest, you have to listen."

He was good at imitating. Sometimes at preschool he would hear other parents say something to their child, then he would come home and tell his mom in a serious manner with criteria and principles.

But his tender, milky voice didn’t have any authority at all.

The woman on the phone couldn’t help but laugh softly, not scolding him for being disrespectful. She was used to it, vaguely agreeing: "Okay, then I’ll rest for another two hours, no more than that."

Her injury was just skin deep after all, it wasn’t a big problem.

Baby Shang pursed his little lips, his little brow still not relaxing, but this was the best he could fight for. He understood that if he told his mom to rest for the whole day, she wouldn’t listen.

He nodded seriously: "Okay, that’s fine."

Gu Wen watched the little one with interest, listening to their conversation, raising his eyebrows.

He had been in the human world for so long, seeing only parents arranging and commanding things for their children.

Human parents like to control their offspring, wanting to grab everything in their hands. Not to mention the little one was still so young, even when their offspring were already adults, able to support themselves and stand on their own, their parents still couldn’t bear to let go of the ropes in their hands.

In the werewolf clan, once the offspring can be self-sufficient, the wolf fathers and wolf mothers stop meddling. They have their own lives to live. Unless the offspring don’t do well and come to ask for help, they won’t interfere.

Shang Xi had no sense of superiority as a provider toward the little one, no condescending gaze, her attitude toward him was equal, eye to eye.

In the few days they spent together, he hadn’t seen Shang Xi get angry and yell at the little one even once. Maybe that’s why the little one's emotions were also very stable, not throwing sudden fits of screaming or crying.

Before coming to find Shang Xi, he had imagined what kind of woman she was.

There was a human aunt in the old house, a single mother.

It was surely not easy for a woman to raise a child alone. Anxiety, lack of sleep, emotional instability, forcing the child to study hard, limiting the child’s freedom, establishing all kinds of rules and restrictions.

He had seen the aunt’s son a few times when he was little.

He assumed he would see an equally emotionally unstable little one, or a timid and inferior one. It would be kind of awful, but it couldn’t be helped.

Having been absent for so many years, he had no right to complain about anything.

But after spending a week together, the little one’s performance made him quite surprised.

He thought, in terms of educating the little one, Shang Xi was actually doing pretty well.

Thinking about how she firmly chose to leave after half a year last night...

Tsk.

Gu Wen pressed at his brow, somewhat annoyed.
