The health-preserving old duck soup restaurant recommended by Zhong Qi was just a few hundred meters from the hotel. The three of them walked there hand in hand, and it was exactly noon.

Wen Shuqiao didn't actually have a big appetite, so she ordered a hot pot, some meat and vegetables for dipping, and fries, which kids like. Under Can Can's expectant gaze, Wen Shuqiao smiled and ordered an extra portion.

Shen Jiazhou snorted: "You're not allowed to eat it when it's served."

Can Can didn't bother looking at his uncle. At home, he pretended to be controlled by his uncle, but now that his aunt was here, he was going to overthrow his uncle's ideology!

Shen Jiazhou pinched his chin: "What kind of look is that?"

Can Can tightly closed her eyes again, even harder to hold than a pig during the New Year, and frantically hid in Wen Shuqiao's arms.

Wen Shuqiao sighed several times, and finally had no choice but to manually grab Shen Jiazhou's wrist and remove his hand.

Can Can was overjoyed to receive her aunt's help. She turned her head and quickly made a face at Shen Jia Zhou before hiding in Wen Shu Qiao's arms.

It feels so good to hug my aunt! When will my aunt's work be finished?

Can Can is feeling a bit down again right now.

Shen Jiazhou scoffed. He would give Cancan a good talking-to when they got back. Did she think she was in charge now that she had someone backing her up?

Seeing his reluctant expression, Wen Shuqiao chuckled and said, "Why the long face?"

Shen Jiazhou said, "He's a naughty kid. If you spoil him like this, he'll become unruly."

Wen Shuqiao felt that this statement was debatable.

In this family, who is the one who is truly spoiled?

Wen Shuqiao was too embarrassed to say anything to Shen Jiazhou, lest he get angry again later.

She coaxed, "Isn't there your strict uncle to keep him in check? He certainly won't run rampant."

Shen Jiazhou looked at Can Can, who was still leaning against Wen Shuqiao's chest and unwilling to come out, and snorted: "If he misbehaves in the future, see how I deal with him."

Wen Shuqiao reached out and took his hand: "Let's not talk about this. It's Friday today. Are you sure you're okay leaving the company?"

“If the company falls apart if I leave for a day, then what’s the point of paying them to come here?” Shen Jiazhou said, “It’s not like I’m hiring them to be mascots.”

Wen Shuqiao clicked her tongue lightly, and Shen Jiazhou continued, "Lin Yan is at the company. With him there, there's no problem."

Wen Shuqiao squeezed his fingers, and Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but lean closer.

He couldn't help but kiss Wen Shuqiao again, resting his forehead on her shoulder, his longing for her beyond words.

It was as if Wen Shuqiao had grown into a person, with one in her arms and one on her shoulder.

However, she also enjoys being with them, and she's been feeling a bit out of sorts for the past two weeks.

She turned her head slightly and whispered, "Give me a kiss."

Shen Jiazhou adjusted his leaning posture and let Wen Shuqiao kiss him.

Wen Shuqiao then asked, "Where did you put the milk and cake?"

“Aunt Zhang will be coming over in the next couple of days,” Shen Jiazhou replied. “Those two little ones have gotten quite fat; by the time you get back, you probably won’t be able to carry them anymore.”

Wen Shuqiao recalled the photos and videos Shen Jiazhou would occasionally send, and said, "In the videos you posted before, the cake didn't seem very lively. Did you have the doctor take a look?"

“I saw it.” Shen Jiazhou had actually noticed it too. He thought Cake was sick, but after taking it to the hospital for a checkup, there was nothing wrong with it. “The doctor said that puppies become more mature as they grow up. Maybe Cake is in that mature phase.”

Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement: "Maybe."

This was her first time raising a puppy, and since the vet said everything was fine, it should be fine too. However, she still advised, "Try to walk it around more when you get home; it might be getting too cooped up at home."

When she's at home, she can go for walks several times a day.

"Don't even mention it." Shen Jiazhou was speechless: "I took it for a morning run, and after running for a couple of minutes, it lay sprawled on the ground and wouldn't move. In the end, I had to carry it back. The way it acted like a spoiled brat in your arms was exactly the same."

If Wen Shuqiao hadn't brought it up, Shen Jiazhou would have almost forgotten about it.

The naughty Can Can raised her head: "The cake is very well-behaved, okay, Uncle? Don't say bad things about it."

Shen Jiazhou flicked his soft cheek with his finger: "I didn't say anything bad about it, I said something bad about you. Like master, like dog."

"I don't understand." Can Can snorted, "Chirping and chattering, I don't understand a thing!"

Shen Jiazhou patiently explained, "Because of an owner like you who cheats, the cake has also become cheating."

Seeing that the uncle and nephew were about to start arguing again, Wen Shuqiao quickly said, "Baby's fries are ready. Are you hungry? Have some fries to tide you over."

Can Can was silenced when he tried to speak. He immediately sat up straight and waited for the waitress to place the fries in front of him.

He politely said, "Thank you, sister!"

The waiter looked at him with a smile for several times before leaving; the little baby was just too adorable.

But I feel like I've seen this baby somewhere before, but I just can't remember where.

Can Can didn't care what others were thinking. After putting down the fries, she picked up her chopsticks, took a fries, puffed out her cheeks, blew on them, dipped them in ketchup, turned slightly, and held them to Wen Shuqiao's lips.

"Auntie, have some! These fries are delicious!"

Wen Shuqiao smiled as she ate the fries, and Can Can asked, "Is it good, Auntie?"

"It's super delicious," Wen Shuqiao said. "You should eat some too."

Can Can hummed in agreement, then buried his head in enjoying the delicious fries. As for his uncle? Who was his uncle? He didn't know him.
