BXBX NOVEL Chapter 19
Chapter 19
Shang Xi stared fiercely at him: "I carried him for ten months and went through hardship giving birth to him. I named him and raised him all by myself to this age. What right do you have to tell me to leave my son behind! Gu Wen doesn\'t even dare to say that, what right do you have?"
Shang Xi said it all in one breath, breathing heavily with cold sweat covering her forehead.
"Or," as if a thought struck Shang Xi, she gave a cold laugh, "Did Gu Wen send you? He wants Shang Bao, doesn\'t he?"
"Shut up!" Unable to endure anymore, Gray Tail let out a low roar and strode towards Shang Xi aggressively.
"Ah!! Gu Wen, keep your damn wolves in check!!”
Shang Xi couldn\'t help crying out, momentarily more indignant than afraid. It was Gu Wen who brought her to this house and said he would be responsible for her lodging and meals. This is his responsibility?
He clearly wants her dead!
She instinctively retreated backward and her foot slipped into empty air.
Gray Tail reflexively reached out his hand but it was too late. Shang Xi had already tumbled down the stairs.
At the same time, the door on the third floor was violently shoved open. A tall black shadow leapt from the third floor in one jump, easily landing on the second floor stairs, then bounced down to the first floor.
Shang Xi was sprawled on the first floor, dizzy from the fall. Her phone had fallen far away, its screen brightly lit.
"Mas...master," Gray Tail\'s expression was flustered and at a loss as he stood in place, stuttering at the sight of the tall werewolf on the first floor with huge ears and tail.
The exceptionally large werewolf\'s eyes glowed green, exerting an immense oppressive aura as he stared fiercely at Gray Tail: "Gray Tail."
Gray Tail opened his mouth: "I...I just wanted to scare her a bit, I didn\'t mean to really hurt her. Master, I..."
"She probably doesn\'t want to see you anymore."
Gray Tail\'s eyes widened as he silently moved his lips, seeming to understand something. His ears and tail drooped down slowly, "Yes, master."
Gu Wen lowered his eyes to look at the woman sprawled on the ground, then squatted down.
Shang Xi felt a pair of dark eyes watching her intently.
A slightly familiar low voice: "Are you...alright? Let me take you to the hospital."
She blurredly opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was a huge pair of black ears. Shang Xi couldn\'t help thinking this was truly a pure black wolf like Black Tail and the others said.
Yet this lone black wolf brought her here to suffer this torment.
Her head spun badly but she was extremely indignant. She opened her mouth and weakly cursed: "You...can\'t even control a single wolf... I hate you..."
Her utmost effort only made her words sound like soft murmurs.
But the werewolf\'s hearing was too keen. Gu Wen heard every word.
He paused briefly before hearing this woman continue with eyes closed, ceaselessly: "Narcissist...I hate you... You want my precious baby, no way! You\'re all idiots."
"......"
"What happened here?" Another voice sounded in the hall. It was Cang Ling walking in with a frown.
Gu Wen\'s expression changed. He retracted his ears and tail.
As if hesitating for a moment, he then reached out and picked up the woman on the ground in his arms.
Cang Ling knitted his brows, turning around: "I\'ll go get the car!"
As he turned, he saw Gray Tail standing frozen at the top of the stairs, his ears and tail drooped down.
In the car, Shang Xi had already fainted again. There was a small wound on her forehead oozing a little blood.
Gu Wen\'s thin lips were tightly pursed, his brows deeply furrowed.
It was his oversight. His problem.
He was clearly aware Gray Tail disliked Shang Xi yet he didn\'t pay closer attention or specially warn him.
Because of his attitude, he indulged Gray Tail\'s behavior.
Because he had openly said before in the wolf pack that he didn\'t like Shang Xi.
It was his disregard for Shang Xi that led to all this.
Gu Wen closed his eyes deeply.
Nanfeng Courtyard was halfway up a hill in Qingcheng. Cang Ling tightly gripped the steering wheel, the car speeding down the mountain. The trees and grass on both sides kept retreating backwards.
As he drove, Cang Ling pounded the steering wheel.
"Gray Tail, you fool!!"
He was the first werewolf to pledge loyalty to Gu Wen and had known Gu Wen the longest in the household.
When Gray Tail first came to the household, he was fifteen, nothing but skin and bones, heavily injured by pure humans. It was Gu Wen who provided him lodging and treated his injuries.
He respected and was grateful to Gu Wen while hating pure humans just as much.
It seemed he had no werewolf parents and somehow wandered into the human world.
He regarded Nanfeng Courtyard as a preciously guarded home. Not only did the master save him but he also hated pure humans like Gray Tail did. He was utterly loyal to the master, usually competing to do chores no matter how dirty or tiring.
But Shang Xi was the cub\'s mother. She wasn\'t an ordinary pure human. Her relationship with the master was special. All the wolves in the household welcomed and respected her.
Gray Tail...
Had lost the home he carefully wanted to protect.
Gu Wen remained silent the entire ride.
At the hospital, the doctor simply bandaged her wounds.
"Just superficial injuries, no problem. Come back tomorrow to check internally and take some images if you\'re still worried. She can go back if nothing is wrong."
"Mm."
Hearing the conversation, Shang Xi slowly awoke and the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was the man\'s sharply defined jawline. Realizing she was being carried by Gu Wen, she knitted her brows.
"Please put me down."
In the hospital corridor, Gu Wen carrying her paused in his steps but didn\'t look down at her. He continued walking and just said lightly: "Back to the ward. Go back after the checkup tomorrow."
"I said, put me down." Shang Xi pressed her lips together and repeated.
Her voice was neither cold nor indifferent anymore, lacking its usual warmth.
"You actually don\'t want me around one bit, do you? Why bother?"
