She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 121

"My brother attended a banquet last night and told me about it when he came back," Sister Dao said seriously, not sounding like she was lying.

"The Qing Family\'s young lady is a famous socialite," Zhou Ziyou looked at Shang Xi. "Shang Xi, you\'re staying at the Nanfeng Courtyard, so you should know best. Have you heard Mr. Gu mention anything?"

"No," Shang Xi\'s expression remained inscrutable as she took a sip of coffee and said, "Aside from having a child together, Mr. Gu and I don\'t have any special relationship. He has no reason to tell me about his private matters."

After saying that, she lowered her gaze and took another sip of coffee.

Sister Dao smiled, "Why wouldn\'t he have a reason to tell you? President Gu even said in front of the media that he likes you. I guess he\'ll explain to you to prove his innocence and turn down the Qing Family\'s young lady."

"It would be better if he didn\'t," Shang Xi said flatly. "It\'s none of my business, and I don\'t care." Even as she said that, she quickly finished her coffee.

When she had tilted her head back without being able to drink any more coffee, she realized the cup was empty.

As she raised her eyes, her gaze met Sister Dao\'s smiling eyes.

Shang Xi froze.

Sister Dao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That\'s good then. I was afraid you\'d care too much. When you like someone, your emotions tend to get affected by them unconsciously, which is particularly annoying. Our Shang Xi is calm and cool."

The hand holding Shang Xi\'s phone tightened its grip.

Zhou Ziyou glanced at Sister Dao, then at Shang Xi, unable to really smile. She understood Shang Xi; if she couldn\'t see any signs, then their many years of friendship would have been in vain.

Shang Xi... does care about President Gu to some extent...

As for the Qing Family\'s young lady that Sister Dao mentioned, this...

Zhou Ziyou knew that Shang Xi was the type of person who wouldn\'t actively pursue anything. This stemmed from her childhood, when she was eager to have many things - from a little rag doll to a cute dress - but could never have them. After being disappointed too many times, she stopped actively wanting anything.

What was meant for her would always be hers.

What wasn\'t meant for her, actively wanting it was useless.

She could buy things that money could buy, and she felt at ease with things she bought herself. But other people\'s feelings were something her money couldn\'t buy, so she would quietly step back and not want them.

Zhou Ziyou remembered when she first became friends with Shang Xi in middle school. Back then, Shang Xi was a popular girl who wore ordinary but neat clothes that always looked good on her, even if they weren\'t expensive. She was always alone.

One day in the cafeteria, Zhou Ziyou couldn\'t help but lower her head and quietly cry as she was being mocked for wearing her brother\'s old clothes.

She thought no one had noticed, but Shang Xi did. Shang Xi came over, handed her a tissue, and asked if she wanted to eat a chicken drumstick. If not, she would leave.

Zhou Ziyou hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "I do!"

After that, they started eating together every day, with Zhou Ziyou going to Shang Xi\'s class to find her.

One time, for some reason, Zhou Ziyou didn\'t go to Shang Xi\'s class but went to the cafeteria with her classmates instead.

The next day when she went to find Shang Xi, she had already left.

The same thing happened the day after.

Later, when Zhou Ziyou asked why they didn\'t eat together anymore and if Shang Xi was mad at her, Shang Xi just smiled and shook her head, "No, I\'m not mad. You already have friends to eat with in the cafeteria, don\'t you?"

Yes, she thought Zhou Ziyou had found new friends to eat with, so she quietly walked away and didn\'t intrude or join them.

Zhou Ziyou later asked Shang Xi if she didn\'t care about her at all. Shang Xi said, "I care a lot, but I won\'t take the initiative or ask for too much. Even if the other person leaves, even if I can\'t have them, even if it hurts my heart."

Zhou Ziyou felt that Shang Xi was someone who wouldn\'t take the initiative, but once she accepted someone, she would treat them very, very well.

She... doesn\'t seem completely indifferent towards President Gu either...

If President Gu doesn\'t really like her that much, gives up pursuing her, and ends up with the Qing Family\'s young lady instead, Shang Xi will definitely be upset...

But this woman, while feeling sad, will also angrily think: "I knew he didn\'t like me that much after all. It\'s not like I\'m irreplaceable. Hmph, no big deal."

Zhou Ziyou could see right through her sister-friend.

She hurriedly changed the subject, "Let\'s not talk about President Gu anymore. Tell me about myself instead, sisters. I failed another blind date recently."

Shang Xi asked, "What was the reason? You\'ve lost over a hundred pounds now, right? You look great."

"It\'s not about looks. That man\'s height, appearance, and financial conditions were all decent. But after just a few sentences, he asked if I had the ability to have children."

"Some people say blind dates are just transactions. It\'s too naive to think they\'re for finding romance. Sigh, I just wanted to find someone I mutually like and live a good life with. But he immediately laid out his purpose, like he was looking for a breeding machine...

Okay, let me be more realistic. I know most of them are looking for wives to have children. But I also want to dream a little - what if I meet someone who loves me for who I am?"

Sister Dao glanced at her and said slowly, "What about that young guy who lives at your place? I think he looks pretty decent."

"Him?" Zhou Ziyou laughed. "He\'s just like a well-behaved younger brother, even more caring than my actual younger brother. He\'s learning to cook now."

Sister Dao smiled, "Why don\'t you two get together then?"

"How is that possible, Sister Dao? Don\'t insult our pure sibling-like relationship," Zhou Ziyou said. "There\'s nothing between us, and I don\'t like younger guys."

"Don\'t rush things when it comes to relationships. The more you rush, the more you\'ll attract people with bad intentions," Shang Xi consoled her. "Don\'t go on blind dates every week. Sometimes when you\'re not expecting it, you might just meet the right person."

Zhou Ziyou nodded dejectedly, "Alright, I\'ll go on another blind date in two weeks then."

After that, the three of them went to watch a movie together.

On the other side...

At the Gu\'s Group headquarters.

"Did you hear? President Gu\'s son came to the company!"

"For real? The little prince who just had his 5th birthday party?"

"Of course it\'s real. President Gu carried him in. That chubby face is so adorable, and he even had a slightly serious expression. I bet President Gu looked like that when he was young too."

"Oh, by the way, just a reminder that no one is allowed to take photos. If you do, you\'ll lose your job."

At that moment, Baby Shang was in his father\'s office, surrounded by a pile of toys, rabbit comics, and wolf hunting comics.

Dai Cen had prepared warm wolf milk, and Baby Shang was sitting on the sofa, swinging his little legs and blinking his big eyes as he gulped it down.

President Gu was working at his desk, occasionally glancing at his cub.

When employees came in to report work matters, they pretended not to notice the little prince taking toys apart on the side.

Employee A was a plushie fanatic; the world was just black without fluffy things. Today, he risked getting in trouble by putting a bunny not much bigger than his palm into his pocket and bringing it to the company.

Whenever no one was around, he would take out the bunny and snuggle it to recharge.

As he approached President Gu\'s office, he was watched by two pairs of eyes.

He nervously reported on his work while the little bunny trembled in his pocket.

Finally, as he was leaving, a little wolf cub with shining eyes followed him out.

Just as he stepped out the door, he heard President Gu\'s voice: "Don\'t eat it."

In the hallway...

"Hey, uncle, can you give me a hug?" Baby Shang looked up at the adult and stretched out his little hands.

Employee A was pleasantly surprised: "What? Sure, of course!"

After hugging the little wolf cub, he didn\'t realize that the rabbit in his pocket had fainted.

"Uncle, I want to go down now." While his colleagues looked on with envy and jealousy, Employee A put down the young master, and at the same time, the rabbit in his pocket had disappeared.

The little wolf cub: Can\'t eat it, but I can tease it a bit ʘᴗʘ

Tomorrow I\'ll finally write about the part after coming home, yay!
