Chapter 77
Chapter 77
Gu Wen\'s huge wolf nose gently, gently touched the woman\'s face in the picture.
In this life, this was the only way he could touch her face - not with the imagined soft warmth, only the coldness of paper and the smell of ink.
How he wished to go further.
He wished she would be his mate. He...dreamed of it.
He wished to hold her hand, and walk with her anywhere, and when she was tired, he would carry her on his back.
With the status of her mate, he would take meticulous care of her and love her, with her status as his mate, he would touch her long hair, kiss her face, lips, embrace her.
But now, he had to stop.
He had to stand aside.
Before he could pour out his surging love for her, he had to halt it.
The bitterness of having to withdraw despite his extreme reluctance caused him excruciating pain.
There was a loud shattering sound from the floor-to-ceiling window behind the study.
A huge dark figure leapt down from the third floor in one bound. Once on the first floor, the massive dark silhouette landed on all fours and raced out swiftly, like a gust of wind.
On the shattered window pane, there were a few strands of black fur.
The enormous werewolf had transformed into a terrifying, astounding pure wolf form. He was much, much larger than all of his kind - his body tall and mighty, sturdy and muscular, like a black yak, but unlike the clumsiness of a yak, he could run and leap with ease.
On the contrary, his limbs were highly developed and elastic. With each touch of his paws on the ground, he sped far ahead, as though flying.
He moved in an agile manner, running through the mountains and forests.
In the night forest, the animals made huge frightened noises and fled in all directions. Soon, the agonized squeals of wild boars could be heard.
Birds flew out of the forest in droves.
Pythons let out warning hisses, and in the next moment, were grabbed by sharp claws and thrown into the huge wolf\'s mouth, breaking their necks.
Seven wild boars lay silently to one side, the stench of blood overwhelming.
Moonlight shone on the running werewolf. His body was smeared all over with red blood. As he ran, he breathed heavily and let out mournful howls.
The low wolf howls echoed through the valley, carrying grief-stricken emotions.
"Oh---Oh---"
Not long after, the enormous werewolf stood at the peak overlooking the silent forest below. He slowly raised his head, his narrow slanted wolf eyes gleaming under the cold moonlight.
Sorrowful wolf howls, one after another, resounded through the silent, pitch-black mountain range.
Shang Xi\'s smiling face and gentle, melodious voice surfaced in his mind, occupying his entirety.
The more he thought about it, the more heartache he felt.
Lost even before possessing her.
He could only hastily tidy up all his emotions on nights like these. He would not move forward. His position was behind her.
He just didn\'t expect the voluntarily released hand to hurt so much as well.
Some day in the future, she would run into someone else\'s embrace...
Just the thought made him feel as though his heart was being violently wrenched to and fro by a pair of large hands, the pain endless.
He lost his mind, he felt deranged, he thrashed around, he despaired. The huge wolf paws clawed and dug at the rocky ground. Silent pine trees now bore the claw marks of the werewolf.
Suddenly there was a splash in the middle of a river in the forest.
The massive werewolf slowly sank down, allowing the river water to flow into his ears, surrounding his entire body. The gurgling sounds were noisy, and the suffocating feeling in his chest was stifling.
But finally, he felt much better.
He thus tortured his already numb heart to insensitivity throughout the night, leaving behind many vulnerable scars.
Dawn had yet to break.
The werewolf head of household returned to Nanfeng Courtyard carrying seven wild boars on his back. After leaping over the back wall, he tossed the wild boars against the wall.
In human form, he walked towards the residential area.
By the time he reached the entrance to the grand hall, he had already resumed his usual appearance. Oh wait, he had not resumed it at all.
His black shirt had long been rendered tattered from the burden - ripped and torn, his short black hair was disheveled and damp, and his eyes were bloodshot.
If someone had photographed this scene, the headline would probably read: Shocking news!! Gu\'s Group goes bankrupt.
Gu Wen was not surprised to see more than ten werewolves in the living room when he opened the door.
"Master..."
"Master, did you go hunting alone..."
"Master, were you...rejected?"
They had heard their master\'s howls last night after all.
Their master had never let out such howls before.
Gu Wen did not answer their questions. His gaze sunk deeply and heavily on the wolf pack, sweeping over them. His tone was solemn and severe: "From now on in Nanfeng Courtyard, whatever Shang Xi says, goes."
"Cooperate fully with whatever she wants to do or wants."
Gu Wen\'s eyes were like a still lake: "I like her. But I have wronged her, and am not worthy of her."
"So don\'t get involved unnecessarily."
His meaning was for the wolf pack to not meddle randomly and give him and Shang Xi opportunities to get together.
Shang Xi was unaware of what had transpired.
After waking up that morning, with her son still asleep, she quietly got out of bed and washed up.
It was Saturday today - her son could sleep in.
Also, it was her birthday today.
I will eat shit if I don\'t update with two chapters tomorrow!
