Wen Shuqiao went down to the basement level and saw Shen Jiazhou's car as soon as she stepped out of the elevator.

She walked quickly over, opened the passenger door, and got in.

While fastening her seatbelt, Wen Shuqiao asked, "When did you arrive?"

Shen Jiazhou smiled, his eyes crinkling: "Just arrived."

He stepped on the gas and drove the car into the underground parking garage.

It's a gloomy day, cold and windy. It's just the beginning of the evening rush hour, and the traffic jam started only a few minutes after the cars merged onto the main road.

Wen Shuqiao glanced at the long line of cars blocking the way and estimated that it would be a while before she got home.

She turned to look at Shen Jiazhou. Shen Jiazhou was indeed acting strangely today. He usually had a lot to say, but today he was unusually silent.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't you say this morning that you had a question for me? What is it?"

Shen Jiazhou rubbed his fingers on the steering wheel. He had actually been thinking about it all day, but still couldn't figure out how to bring it up with Wen Shuqiao.

Wen Shuqiao noticed his hesitation and asked again, "It's hard to say?"

Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "It's hard to say."

The car in front started moving, and Shen Jiazhou came to his senses: "Let's talk about it when we get home."

Wen Shuqiao nodded, but her doubts only grew stronger. What could be so evasive that made Shen Jiazhou hesitate like this?

Shen Jiazhou is not the type to be ambiguous or vague.

Shen Jiazhou didn't say anything, and Wen Shuqiao didn't ask any more questions. When they got home, they found that no one was there.

"Where's Can Can?" Wen Shuqiao asked Shen Jiazhou, who had returned a step later than her.

Not only is Can Can gone, but the milk cake is gone too.

Shen Jiazhou said, "Gu Xingyuan is back. He missed Cancan, so he took him out to play. He probably won't be back until after dinner."

He changed his shoes and went to the living room with Wen Shuqiao: "Auntie has prepared dinner, let's eat first."

They were stuck in traffic for a while, and when they got back it was time for dinner.

Wen Shuqiao sat down, and Shen Jiazhou sat down opposite her. He put some food in Wen Shuqiao's bowl and opened a bottle of low-alcohol fruit wine, saying, "Gu Xingyuan brought this today; it's not very strong."

Wen Shuqiao glanced at him a couple more times, then handed him the empty cup beside her: "Thank you."
