Breakfast was delivered by Shen Jiazhou. It consisted of all kinds of steamed buns that Can Can liked to eat, each with a thin skin and plenty of filling. In addition, to take care of a little one who didn't like the skin, it was specially made into small steamed buns, which she ate in just two bites, without even feeling the skin.

Can Can ate three meat buns in one go, and then drank half a bowl of millet porridge to fill her stomach. After she was full, she went to pick up her cat toy and look for milk and cake to play with.

Wen Shuqiao also put down her chopsticks and said, "I have an appointment with a real estate agent to look at houses this afternoon. Can Can play in your office?"

She originally wanted to bring Can Can along, but it's getting colder and colder outside. What if she catches a cold while running around with her?

Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Okay, take your time finding a house, no need to rush."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of it." Whether she stays for one day or two, it's all the same. Since she's already moved in, she'll make sure to find a better place this time.

Shen Jiazhou looked at her: "Do you need me to have someone look for it for you?"

"No need," Wen Shuqiao said honestly. "It's too expensive, and I can't afford it right now. I'll look around myself."

Shen Jiazhou put down the spoon of millet porridge: "If you need anything, you can tell me. Even if you can't find anything, you can stay here indefinitely."

Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, "The boss is very generous."

Shen Jiazhou's gaze fell on her face, and he merely hummed softly, thinking to himself that this was all she could say to coax him.

After discussing the rental issue, Wen Shuqiao thought of something else.

"How did your conversation with them go?" Wen Shuqiao asked. "I was planning to ask you that last night."

There was nothing she could do; the move came too suddenly, and she didn't even have time to think about Shen Jiazhou's return. Besides, Shen Jiazhou seemed to be in a bad mood when he came last night.

Shen Jiazhou replied, "I mainly talked to my grandfather."

Shen Jiazhou briefly recounted what had happened the previous night to Wen Shuqiao. After he finished speaking, Wen Shuqiao quietly said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to tell me all this like this?"

Seeing Wen Shuqiao's solemn expression, he was thinking of making some more promises to her, but after talking for a while, she was just worried that he might know too much.

“It’s good that you know,” Shen Jiazhou said. “We’re in the same boat now. If the boat capsizes, we’ll both be adrift at sea. It’s good that you know, at least if I’m about to capsize, you can help me paddle a bit.”

Wen Shuqiao lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she said, "Well, but I'm not very good at swimming, so I'll bring a life ring."

Can Can came over at this moment. Hearing his aunt mention life rings, he asked in confusion, "Auntie, are we going swimming?"

He remembered his aunt saying that he should wear a life ring when swimming, and he used to have one! His aunt bought him a big goose life ring! After swimming around in the tub for a bit, his aunt even said she would take him to the swimming pool next summer!

Why are we going swimming now? He's not ready yet!

[...You can reply to every one sentence your aunt says with ten, how can you be so talkative!] The system said speechlessly: [That swimming ring is a swimming ring! Also, what's this "big goose swimming ring"? I don't know that.]

"You're not here." Can Can said, "It's the same. Auntie told me everything. Also, Auntie said that children need to express themselves so she knows what I want. And I told you before, why didn't you remember? You stupid system!"

Okay, okay, if it lasts for thirty seconds, I'm diagnosed as an idiot.

Wen Shuqiao bent down slightly, cupped his face in her hands, and rubbed it twice: "Our baby is like a lifebuoy."

Can Can was puzzled. "No, the baby is a person!"

However, my aunt clearly didn't want to continue the topic, and stood up, saying, "It's almost time, I should go to work."

Can Can's attention immediately shifted, and he said, "Okay, okay, Auntie, I'll help you with your work."

Shen Jiazhou also stood up, and upon hearing this, asked, "Why don't you help me with my work?"

Can Can honestly replied, "I don't understand, Uncle."

Wen Shuqiao chuckled to herself and nodded in agreement. Can Can was right; he didn't even recognize many characters anymore.

“…Wen Shuqiao!” Shen Jiazhou frowned. “It’s too obvious, I can see it.”

It makes him look like an idiot! Doesn't he know that Can Can can't read?

Wen Shuqiao blinked: "Oh."

The three of them went out together, and since they didn't have to go to Wen Shuqiao's house, they had much more time.

When they arrived at the company building, Wen Shuqiao carried Can Can up to the second floor as usual. Yu Qin was already there, and Wen Shuqiao looked at her with some surprise: "Sister Qin, why are you here so early today?"

Yu Qin said, "Feifei is sick. I went back yesterday and only took the bus here this morning. I was thinking of doing nothing, so I came to help you clear out your stock."

She noticed there wasn't much stock left when she left last Friday, so she came over on Monday to clear it out so the delivery person could prepare it in advance.

Wen Shuqiao said, "No need to clear out Qin Jie, I'll stop selling after I sell these."

Yu Qin asked in confusion, "Weren't they selling well? Why did you stop?"

Actually, she had considered this issue when Shen Jiazhou mentioned having Cancan and the Shen family have that reunion dinner. After hearing Shen Jiazhou say it this morning, she became even more certain.

She originally agreed to come to Shen's canteen so that Shen Jiazhou and Cancan could recognize each other and spend time together. Now that the uncle and nephew no longer need her to create opportunities for them to meet, this job is dispensable to her.
