Shen Jiazhou originally intended to take them to the underground parking garage, but his phone calls, which started every ten minutes or so, had evolved to every two or three minutes.

He neither hung up nor answered the call; he just listened to it as background music.

Finally, at Wen Shuqiao and Cancan's insistence, we stopped at the entrance of the residential area.

Can Can stood on tiptoe and waved towards the car: "Uncle, come back soon!"

Wen Shuqiao also said, "Drive safely."

Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "See you tonight."

Wen Shuqiao also raised her hand and waved at him.

After watching the car drive away, Wen Shuqiao took Cancan's hand and walked into the residential area.

As they walked, Can Can asked, "Auntie, are you going to visit Dad this weekend?"

Wen Shuqiao replied, "You go with your uncle. Your aunt has things to do this weekend. Just stay with your uncle and be a good girl, okay?"

Can Can said "Oh," and then asked, "When are you coming back?"

"It might be evening, around eight or nine o'clock." Wen Shuqiao had already figured out the route. If she took the earliest bus to town at eight o'clock, she could arrive at the earliest at eleven o'clock.

She hadn't been to that place before, so she'd have to find Wen Zhixia's house first. But Yu Qin said her hometown wasn't very big, so she could just ask around if she couldn't find it.

Then I take the 6 PM shuttle bus back. If there's no traffic and everything goes smoothly, I might arrive by 8 PM.

Can Can said "Oh," and asked, "Auntie, where are you going?"

Wen Shuqiao didn't tell Cancan where she was going. She said, "It's about my aunt, it's a secret."

Can Can pouted and said, "Okay."

But a few seconds later she said unhappily, "Auntie, I've told you all of the baby's secrets, so shouldn't you tell the baby your secrets too?"

"No," Wen Shuqiao refused. "A secret is something you can't tell others."

Can Can huffed, "Then I won't tell you any more secrets, hmph."

Wen Shuqiao looked down at him, unable to suppress a smile: "Hmm? Really? Then I won't ask anymore."

"No," Can Can said domineeringly, "You should ask me."

Wen Shuqiao teased him mischievously, "If I ask you and you don't tell me, I'll lose face. I don't want to ask."

Can Can thought for a moment, then looked up and said, "Then Auntie, please ask me a few more times. If you ask me a few more times, I'll tell you."

Wen Shuqiao stopped, let go of his hand, bent down and pinched his cheek: "Okay, then Auntie will ask more times in the future."

Can Can chuckled twice: "Okay!"

He forgot about his aunt's secret as soon as he turned his head.

They had already entered the residential area, and Wen Shuqiao no longer held his hand. Can Can walked beside her, his little mouth still chattering away. One moment he was talking about what he played in his uncle's office today, and the next he was saying that the kindergarten he had just seen was not fun and was deserted.

Wen Shuqiao listened and occasionally chimed in with a comment.

It's already past one o'clock, and the weather is so-so today. There aren't many people strolling around the neighborhood.

Can Can walked ahead of Wen Shu Qiao, his eyes looking around. He saw an aunt sitting on a bench ahead. She looked up and her gaze fell on him.

Can Can and she exchanged a glance, then Can Can waited silently for her aunt before taking her hand.

Wen Shuqiao shook their clasped hands: "Why don't you walk by yourself?"

Cancan said, "I want to hold your hand, Auntie!"

Wen Shuqiao chuckled softly, said nothing more, and led him home.

As he passed the aunt sitting on the bench, Can Can secretly glanced at her, thinking that she looked very familiar.

The system asked in confusion: [What looks familiar?]

None of them looked familiar.

"I think I've seen this aunt before," Can Can said uncertainly. As his aunt was about to pull him away, he still whispered, "Auntie."

Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement: "What?"

"I think I've seen that auntie before," Can Can said in a muffled voice. This auntie just looks so familiar!

After hearing his words, Wen Shuqiao also looked at the person sitting on the bench. The woman didn't say a word, but her gaze was definitely fixed on Cancan.

Can Can let go of Wen Shu Qiao's hand, and then, not knowing where she got the courage, she went back.

They were only a few steps apart, and when Wen Shuqiao saw this, she followed.

Can Can quickly walked up to the woman, tilted his head slightly, and stared at her without blinking.

The woman was surprised that Can Can would come back and stand in front of her, staring at her intently.

She leaned down slightly, looking at Can Can, and asked, "Little girl, why are you looking at me like that?"

Can Can pursed his lips and remained silent, his mind racing. He seemed to have forgotten something very important.

Wen Shuqiao was also confused, and said gently to the woman, "I'm sorry, the child may have mistaken you for someone else. I apologize."

She squatted down again and said to Cancan, "Baby, let's go home."

Can Can shook his head and asked, "Auntie, do you know me?"

The woman looked at his face and seemed to laugh, but the laugh was quick and soft. She said, "My name is Yu Mingxue. Have you heard of this name before?"

Looking at the woman, Wen Shuqiao's expression softened somewhat.

The woman's demeanor didn't seem like that of a stranger, and Can Can had never lingered in front of a stranger for so long before.

However, after quickly thinking about the characters in the novel, she realized that there was no name Yu Mingxue, and the surname Yu did not even appear.

"Pretty auntie?" Several images flashed through Can Can's mind. She asked uncertainly, "Are you a pretty auntie?"

Yu Mingxue smiled even more, and she stopped pretending. She raised her hand and pinched his cheek: "You have such a sweet tongue, unlike your mother or your father."
