She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 84

"Battle buddy, give me a hand!"

The woman's fair and beautiful face was slightly downturned, with a hint of fawning appeal for help in her eyes.

She was much shorter than him, and no matter when, she had to look up at Gu Wen with her amber eyes.

Shang Xi pursed his lips and tentatively reached out. His actions were so gentle that it was like a gust of wind blowing across Shang Xi's cheeks, lightly brushing aside the bangs on her forehead.

His naturally intimate gesture stunned everyone present, Shang Xi included.

She was startled for a second before regaining her composure, thinking to herself that Gu Wen was really smooth, already going along with the act.

She moved a little closer to Gu Wen, her brows and eyes relaxing into a gentle expression. Anyone looking at them would not doubt they were in a relationship.

She turned to look at the dumbfounded young man in the wheelchair, smiling lightly. "As you can see, he's Baby Shang's biological father, and also my partner."

"How...how can that be..." The young man's eyes widened in shock, as if witnessing the end of the world.

Shang Xi's words shattered the light in the young man's eyes bit by bit. She had never given him a sliver of hope, much less now.

"Yes, I like him. We're already married."

"That's right. It's for life. He's Baby Shang's biological father. Can you think of anyone more suitable than him?"

However, Gu Wen's dark eyes lit up as he followed Shang Xi's lead.

She had destroyed the light in a young man's eyes, while igniting the light in the eyes of a lone wolf at the same time.

Shang Xi was only thinking of getting rid of the little brother as soon as possible so that he could go home and study properly. She didn't think much about her own words, since Gu Wen also knew that she was just acting with him.

But she didn't know that creatures like wolves are sinister and cunning by nature. If you give them the slightest opportunity, the evil genes inherent in their bones will stir.

No matter how much wolfmen emphasize their difference from ordinary wolves, they are arrogant and look down on unintelligent beasts.

They walk among humans in human form, dressed sharply and wearing watches, trying their best to blend in.

But they are not human after all. They are wolfmen.

The inherently wicked nature ingrained in their DNA since ancient times when wolfmen had to catch prey and avoid starving to death. They racked their brains and employed all manners of cunning.

As long as they could hunt successfully and avoid starving, any means was justified in their eyes. For them, there was no such thing as immorality, good or evil, or right and wrong. As long as they achieved their goal, anything goes.

Shang Xi's words stirred the wickedness lying dormant in Gu Wen's nature.

"Can you think of anyone more suitable than him?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, seizing upon that one sentence that presented an "opportunity".

That's right. He was the cub's biological father. That was an advantage no rival could compete with.

If Shang Xi chose him as her mate, she would never have to worry about him mistreating the cub. He would never harm the cub.

If Shang Xi chose him as her mate, the child would not have to be separated from his parents or suffer the pain of loss. The cub would not have to get used to a new father.

Shang Xi doted on the child so much. She wouldn't want the cub to experience even a shred of sorrow, would she?

Look, weren't these his advantages?

She was currently single. Why couldn't the one she came to like be him?

They lived under one roof. A Chinese proverb says, "The one closest to water gets the moon first."

Gu Wen's eyes darkened. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. His heart started pounding rapidly. His face betrayed his growing certainty and arrogance about getting what he desired.

The innate wicked cunning of wolfmen manifested itself to the utmost degree in this moment.

He seemed to have forgotten that just earlier, he was the one repeatedly claiming he was unworthy and undeserving of pursuing the young lady, humbling himself to rock bottom.

Yet now, his thoughts easily turned to wicked ideas of carrying his beautiful bride back to his den.

The evil in their bones laid bare. As long as...the goal is achieved, anything goes.

As long as they could eat the prey, that was enough.

Having grown up in the human world and interacting mostly with humans, Gu Wen was the wolfman most similar to an actual human.

He never lost control and always maintained perfect composure and clarity.

But after meeting Shang Xi, none of that mattered anymore.

After falling for Shang Xi, his heart was no longer his own.

To willingly let Shang Xi go to someone else filled him with immense anguish. He couldn't sleep at night and howled in madness. He wanted to smash everything to pieces in despair.

So now, with just a few careless words from Shang Xi, his innate wickedness easily gained control over him.

Just because of the lines she had uttered while acting.

Those few sentences she had spoken in pretense took root in his mind. He rolled them around his mouth and replayed them in his thoughts over and over, keeping them warm and sweet in his heart.

She liked him.

They were already legally married.

They would be together for life.

No wolf more suitable than him would ever come along.

"Alright, let's get going too. He should be thoroughly heartbroken by now," said the woman coolly.

Her melodious voice was like the ruthless morning alarm on a winter's day, beautiful yet cruel, stirring people awake from their dreams.

After a long silence, Gu Wen mumbled an affirmation.

"Thanks. You played your part very naturally just now."

Gu Wen's cold brows knitted slightly. "Mm."

He hadn't been acting.

In this play, there was only one actor.

Having finally gotten rid of the little brother, Shang Xi felt much more relaxed. She smiled generously at Gu Wen, "Mr. Gu, I'll treat you to a meal one of these days."

Just as Gu Wen had said, he did not pursue her again. Now they helped each other like true battle buddies, getting along harmoniously. This was the outcome she wanted.

She lowered her guard.

Her opponent was not a human but a dangerous wolf.

She failed to notice that the depths of the wolfman's dark eyes flickered with a ghastly green light.

The lone wolf's countdown begins...

If there's no update tomorrow (Sep 9), I'll stream myself eating shit...
