Shang Xi stood at the door, her smile slowly fading away.
"What do you mean by this, Mr. Gu?"
It was like this last time too.
She knew he didn't really like her and vaguely felt that he was heavily prejudiced against humans. But wasn't his reaction a bit too obvious?
She thought she was just politely smiling and greeting him.
She didn't get close to him or touch him or stand too near him.
Wasn't his response a bit of an overreaction?!
This wolf really was the most disagreeable one in the house!!
Oh well, she was too lazy to think more about it. As she was preparing to turn around and go downstairs, she saw a wolf with grayish-black ears leaning against the wall not far away, his eyes fixed coldly on her.
It was Gray Tail.
Shang Xi paused for a moment, pursed her lips, and went downstairs as if she hadn't seen him at all without greeting him.
Her high heels made crisp knocking sounds on the floor tiles. Shang Xi thought, it seemed that in this house, Gu Wen was not the only one who disliked her.
She didn't know why Gray Tail didn't like her and she was too lazy to think about it. It wasn't as if she was made of money. If he didn't like her then he didn't like her.
She wouldn't cater to anyone.
The only reason she came to this house was because her son needed the cold spring water treatment for his illness. That was the main thing on her mind.
After having breakfast she still had to take her son to kindergarten. That should be her top priority.
"Shang Xi, good morning! Woof!" Red Tail wagged her tail and danced around her. "You look so pretty, woof! Shang Xi, look at me!"
Seeing her, Shang Xi also smiled: "Good morning, Red Tail."
Black Tail came out of the kitchen carrying a large tray of meat and lazily waved at her, "Shang Xi, you're up!"
"Good morning, Black Tail."
"Shang Xi, you look so beautiful today!" Green Tail barked.
Shang Xi laughed and sat down at the table, "Thanks."
Except for Gray Tail and Gu Wen, she clearly felt a cordial friendliness from the other wolves. Seeing them improved her mood quite a bit.
"The cub is still sleeping?"
Shang Xi nodded: "Yeah, he'll probably be awake after I've had breakfast."
Anyway there was enough time. She felt it was fine for her son to sleep a little longer.
Not long after sitting down, she heard the wolf pack greeting Gu Wen.
"Master! Good morning!"
"Master Gu, good morning!"
Shang Xi didn't look back but sat in her seat taking out her phone to check it.
Gu Wen walked straight to the head of the table without even glancing at her.
Gradually all the wolves sat down and started eating breakfast.
Shang Xi kept her eyes lowered, eating breakfast while occasionally looking at her phone to respond to messages. She didn't look up at Gu Wen even once.
After eating her fill she got up and went upstairs to wake her son.
As the sound of her high heels faded away, Gu Wen turned to look at her retreating back, his gaze deepening.
He needed to find a time to make things clear with this woman.
No matter how she tried to get close to him, there was no possibility for them.
When Shang Xi returned to the room, Baby Shang was awake. He had already put on his little shirt by himself and was trying to get his school uniform jacket on.
Seeing Shang Xi come in, his eyes lit up. His little ears suddenly popped out and he called out in a tender voice, "Mama!"
Seeing her son's little ears, Shang Xi felt touched again.
Smiling, she asked, "Does my cute Baby Shang need Mama's help?"
Baby Shang shook his head, pursed his lips, and carefully put his clothes on by himself.
When tying his little tie he was silent for a second before saying, "Mama help with this."
"Okay." Shang Xi smiled as she tied it properly for him and tidied his collar, "There, let's go downstairs for breakfast. Mama will take you to school."
Although Gu Wen already had a professional driver assigned and someone could send him, she still wanted to spend more time with her child.
As she led Baby Shang downstairs by the hand, she saw Dai Cen.
Gu Wen had already finished breakfast. Dai Cen was holding Gu Wen's coat, flicking it open and draping it over his shoulders, "So, are you going to the office now?"
Shang Xi felt Gu Wen glance in her direction.
She then heard him say, "No, taking the cub to school first."
Was he also going to send him today?
Shang Xi was slightly surprised. The little guy also gripped her hand tightly and she lowered her eyes to look at the upturned corners of her son's lips.
Did he also hope Gu Wen would take him?
Well, after the first two days of resisting Gu Wen, the child had had time to reflect and would now secretly observe Gu Wen from time to time. That pretend ferocious, adorable little wolf had disappeared. There was only curiosity left in the child's huge dark eyes now.
