Once in the car, sure enough, there was a small basket of big, red strawberries placed next to the child safety seat.

Can Can picked up a strawberry, sniffed it, and said with bright eyes, "It smells so good and sweet!"

After saying that, he put the strawberries back, saying he would wash them and eat them when he got home!

Shen Jiazhou glanced at him through the rearview mirror and laughed, "You're quite particular, knowing that you have to wash it before eating."

Can Can said, "Uncle, you have to be clean! You have to be clean too~"

"Okay, I'll be clean from today onwards." Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but laugh: "You'll definitely listen."

Can Can nodded with some satisfaction: "It's good that you're obedient!"

Wen Shuqiao looked out the window silently, unable to suppress her laughter.

This is absolutely upside down!

Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but say, "You're so small for your age, yet you have such a big mouth."

"Uncle, I'm not a little person anymore," Can Can said. "I'm an adult, understand?"

“…Understood.” Shen Jiazhou glanced at Wen Shuqiao, who was secretly laughing, through the rearview mirror. He said, “Lady in the back seat, please don’t laugh.”

Wen Shuqiao turned her head innocently to look ahead, then looked at Can Can: "No, I didn't laugh."

Can Can looked intently at her aunt's face and chimed in, "Yes, Uncle, Auntie wasn't smiling!"

Shen Jiazhou snorted and muttered, "You can only fool kids who only have a few days of kindergarten education."

Wen Shuqiao pretended not to hear.

*

An'an invited Can Can to her house to play on Saturday. Can Can first went to An'an's house to play, and then went to a big hotel booked by An'an's uncle for dinner in the evening.

Wen Shu-chiao asked the number of children in advance, and packed the fried chicken legs in an insulated box, along with ketchup and cheese sauce.

Of course, following Can Can's instructions, the largest chicken leg was packed separately, and Can Can would personally deliver it to An An later.

Shen Jiazhou was originally going to drive them there, but due to the busy year-end business, he had to have his driver take them instead.

An'an's home is in a villa area. After watching the car drive in, Can Can said, "Auntie, this place looks so familiar!"

It seems like he's been here before!

Wen Shuqiao reminded him, "My uncle also has a house here, and Uncle Xingyuan lives here too."

A few days ago, I showed the address to Shen Jiazhou, and Shen Jiazhou said that he owned property here and that Gu Xingyuan also lived here.

Soon, the driver took them to their destination. Wen Shuqiao and Cancan got out of the car, and the driver said, "Ms. Wen, I'll go park the car. If you want to leave, just call me and I'll come pick you up."

"Okay, thank you." Wen Shuqiao carried the insulated box with one hand, while Can Can held the big chicken leg that she was going to give to An An very carefully.

Can Can said politely, "Goodbye, Uncle Driver!"

The driver smiled at him and drove away.

After the car left, Wen Shuqiao rang the doorbell. A few seconds later, An'an rushed out and looked at Can Can, saying happily, "Can Can, Auntie, you're here!"

He stood on tiptoe, pressed the door opener switch next to him, and the door opened.

An An pulled the door inwards, and halfway in, Xie Chuying also came out of the villa. She was wearing a plain-colored cheongsam today. When she saw them arrive, she smiled and walked over quickly.

“An’an has been looking forward to your arrival since early this morning, and has come out several times already.”

Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Sister Chu Ying."

Xie Chuying reached out and took the insulated box from her hand: "Thank you so much, you even brought over An'an's favorite chicken legs."

"No trouble at all," Wen Shuqiao said, waving Cancan's hand.

Can Can was a little shy, but still obediently said, "Good afternoon, Aunt Chu Ying."

Xie Chuying bent down and touched his little face: "Good afternoon, Can Can."

She straightened up and looked at Wen Shuqiao with a smile: "Don't stand outside, come in, lots of children are here."

Although this was a children's party, quite a few parents also attended.

Despite having prepared herself mentally, Wen Shuqiao was still slightly shocked when she actually went inside.

The air conditioning in the villa was on full blast, and every parent was dressed to the nines, in formal attire and suits. Even the children looked like they had been carefully made up.

In comparison, everyone else came to attend the banquet, while she and Can Can came to eat at the feast...

Xie Chuying said softly, "Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Because they had just arrived, everyone's eyes were more or less on them, scrutinizing them.

Can Can held her aunt's hand tightly, not daring to move at all.

Didn't you say that all the children who came were familiar faces? Why are there so many uncles and aunties here?

The insulated box in Xie Chuying's hands was taken by the family's nanny. An'an wanted to carry it himself. He carried a bag of chicken legs in one hand and held Can Can's hand in the other: "Can Can, I'll take you to play with my toys! They're so much fun!"

An'an pointed to the temporary toy corner set up in the living room, which indeed contained the toys that Can Can knew.

Wen Shuqiao withdrew her gaze, looked down at Cancan, and said, "Go play with An'an."

Can Can hesitated, but An An said enthusiastically, "Come on, Can Can, let's go play together!"

Can Can looked up at her aunt again, and only after receiving an approving look from her aunt did she reluctantly let go of her aunt's hand. But before leaving, she couldn't help but remind her, "Auntie, I'm going to play for a little while! Don't wander off, okay? I'm afraid I won't be able to find you."

Wen Shuqiao smiled and patted his head: "Go on, I'll stay within your sight."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Can Can and An An left hand in hand.
