She Got Pregnant After a One Night Stand with a Werewolf

Chapter 168

Cang Ling left the mountains when he was just a teenager and lived in the human world for so many years. He also had some human money, owning several houses, though he never lived in them. Instead, he lived in Nanfeng Courtyard with his tribesmen.

Except for one house, he would visit it every month. That used to be the home he shared with his human companion. The place still held traces of their life together, with her worn clothes, used cups, hair ties, expired skincare products...

Cang Ling seemed to be torturing himself by not letting go, visiting every month.

But as time passed, the scent on her clothes faded more and more.

It felt like he was losing her completely and forever.

He had just left that house when he unexpectedly ran into Gray Tail on the way.

This guy, walking around in the human world with his big ears, big tail, and swaying gait - wasn't he looking for trouble?

But then, Cang Ling thought it was quite laughable. What right did he have to comment on Gray Tail?

Hadn't he done equally stupid things himself? Even worse...

He took Gray Tail to his own house.

"This is the small house I bought when I first came down from the mountains with little money. No elevator, fourth floor," Cang Ling said as they walked. "Humans are afraid of this and that, saying the fourth floor is unlucky. To me, it's all the same."

Gray Tail kept his head down, his face gloomy, not uttering a word.

Seeing this, Cang Ling sighed, "Kid, you can stay as long as you want."

Gray Tail remained silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you."

About ten minutes later, they arrived.

The apartment buildings in this neighborhood, called Longevity Garden, were already quite old.

The two-bedroom apartment had very few belongings, but Gray Tail didn't mind. At this point, he wouldn't even care if he had to sleep on the floor for a night.

The only things in the room that could be counted with one hand were a table, a bed, and a crate of beer in the corner, covered in dust.

Gray Tail saw the crate of beer, fell silent for a moment, and then walked straight toward it.

"What, you want to drink?" Cang Ling said. "What's the use of drinking? Once you start, you won't be able to stop. Don't drink."

For someone who couldn't stay away from alcohol to say such words, Gray Tail curled his lips in a somewhat sarcastic manner.

He had already taken out a bottle of beer, his movements unwavering.

Cang Ling watched him and asked, "Did that girl like the smell of alcohol?"

Gray Tail's movements paused for a moment.

Cang Ling continued, "Isn't it just that she kicked you out? As long as she's still alive, there's hope. Don't act like the sky is falling."

"She has a partner now," Gray Tail said, gripping the beer bottle tightly.

Cang Ling brushed it off casually with an "Oh." "So what? We're different from humans. They don't stay with just one person their whole lives. There are many variables for them. Just wait and see."

Gray Tail froze for a moment, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.

He seemed to have forgotten that Zhou Ziyou was human, unlike werewolves. She only had a partner for now, having just met him. She couldn't even be said to like him, let alone love him.

If they were not suitable, the woman wouldn't settle.

Then... she would be single again.

So... did he still have a chance?

Gray Tail stared blankly, his eyes wide, as if struck dumb by realization.

Seeing the young werewolf's expression of sudden understanding, Cang Ling shook his head and asked, "Do you still have the card the chieftain gave you?"

Gray Tail nodded.

"Alright, I'll take you to see some houses tomorrow," Cang Ling said with the tone of an experienced man. "You can't drive, right? Go get your driver's license too."

"Since you're going to get a wife, be serious about it. With nothing to your name, are you going to have your wife follow you and drink the northwest wind?"

Gray Tail pondered for a moment and nodded sincerely.

Cang Ling thought back to his past self, when he too had a wife. He was overjoyed, finding a house, buying furniture, huffing and puffing as he moved things, organizing their little family, as if he would never get tired, even smiling in his sleep...

She was a delicate young lady of nobility, well-mannered and gentle with everyone. With her frail, pale figure that evoked pity, he couldn't bear to let her do any work.

She would just sit on the sofa, calmly and gently watching him work, and he felt so blissful he could faint.

Recalling the past, Cang Ling's hand trembled slightly as he took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke...

"How did that girl suddenly get a partner?"

Gray Tail lowered his gaze, saddened. "She went on a blind date."

Cang Ling frowned and cursed, "You lived under the same roof, and you still gave her the opportunity to go on blind dates? Isn't it said that the nearby waters get the moonlight first?"

Gray Tail pursed his lips tightly, also deeply hating himself in his heart. "At that time, I didn't understand... that was... just liking her."

"You didn't even know if she liked you or not?" Cang Ling was exasperated, lamenting the waste of potential. "Are all you young werewolves fools? The one right beside you, and you let her slip away. Pig brain!"

After Cang Ling finished scolding, Gray Tail remained silent for a while before saying, "What if... she likes the person she met on the blind date?"

"Cool it!" Cang Ling scoffed coldly.

Gray Tail fell silent again, feeling dejected.

Cang Ling couldn't stand it and scolded him some more, "Why worry about all that? Just do what you need to do."

"You can't even drive. In the future, when your pups go to kindergarten, are you going to run on all fours and carry them to school in your mouth?"

Gray Tail seemed to be charmed by his words. He touched his nose, his ears turning red, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Their pups...

They would surely be as round and adorable as her.

Pups...

His and Zhou Ziyou's pups...

It was too wonderful. Just thinking about it made Gray Tail's head spin, floating in bliss.

He clenched his fist. "I will seriously learn to drive and buy a car."

He found the scarred elder increasingly likable. Who knew this old drunkard who only knew how to binge drink and go crazy could be so wise and articulate?

That night, Gray Tail had a dream.

In the dream,

Zhou Ziyou held a cute, round pup that made soft, milky whimpers. She was still wearing the necklace he had carved for her around her neck.

Her entire being was enveloped in his scent.

In the dream, he had forgotten to buy something, and she was sulking impatiently, "You blockhead! Go get it for me quickly! Otherwise, don't even come through this door!"

When Gray Tail woke up, his eyes were curved in a smile.

Then, he saw the unfamiliar ceiling and the empty room.

"..."

The dream was over.
