Just then, the cake came over, looked up at the table, and rubbed against Shen Jiazhou's trouser leg.

Shen Jiazhou glanced down at it, then said to Wen Shuqiao beside him, "Xiao Miao just messaged me saying there's been a problem with a project in the next provincial capital. I'll drive there later and be back very late tonight, so don't wait up for me."

Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay, you're going over there?"

“Lin Yan has already bought a high-speed rail ticket. He’s going first, and I’ll drive there. We can come back together.” Shen Jiazhou also picked up a small steamed bun and sighed, “And it’s a bit tricky. I don’t know if I can come back tonight.”

"I understand." Wen Shuqiao nodded. "Give me a call when you get back."

Can Can took a bite of the now lukewarm steamed bun: "Uncle, can you bring me a gift back?"

Shen Jiazhou patted his head: "Alright, alright, you'll get your share."

Can Can is happy now and is looking forward to what gifts her uncle will bring back for her.

The cake lying at his feet suddenly opened its mouth, bit his trouser leg, and tugged at it twice.

Shen Jiazhou glanced down at it again and chuckled softly, "What? You can't bear to part with me, but you can't bite my pants."

Then he looked up and muttered to Wen Shuqiao, "Cake really is the same dog that Can Can picked up; it looks exactly like the discarded clothes."

Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, "Didn't you say that like master, like dog? Okay, eat up, we need to take Cancan to school."

Although the family has a driver, Shen Jiazhou and Wen Shuqiao still drive them most of the time.

When Wen Shuqiao is not home, Shen Jiazhou picks her up and drops her off himself whenever he has time. Only when he is really busy does he ask Aunt Zhang and the driver to pick her up.

Parent-child time is still very important.

After breakfast, the three of them went out together. Wen Shuqiao took her camera with her, so she could go out and enjoy the scenery.

Wen Shuqiao didn't return until the afternoon. She rested on the sofa for a while and then added milk and cake to her bowl.

The weather is nice today, so Milk and Cake went to lie on the balcony, where the sun is shining warmly on them.

Wen Shuqiao's gaze fell on the cake, and the cake keenly sensed something.

But Wen Shuqiao had already looked away before it could look over.

Cake's puppy eyes watched her walk back and forth in the living room. After she sat down on the sofa again, she said, "Milk, Cake, come here."

Milk heard Wen Shuqiao calling it and walked over while meowing.

Wen Shuqiao then looked at the cake: "Cake, come here."

She also made a sound to call the dog.

The cake seemed to think for a moment, but in the end, it reluctantly walked over. Before it even reached her side, Wen Shuqiao's phone rang.

She was making milk when she answered the phone directly, putting it on speakerphone: "Hello? Lin Yan?"

Lin Yan?

The cake's ears twitched quietly and stood up.

"Sister Shuqiao..." Lin Yan's voice trembled slightly, "I, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm?" Wen Shuqiao removed the milk from her body and asked, "What is it?"

After pausing for several seconds on the other end of the phone, Lin Yan quickly said, "President Shen, President Shen is in an accident. His car collided with another car..."

Wen Shuqiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped up from the sofa: "What did you say?"

Lin Yan quickly said, "They've already been taken to the hospital. Don't worry, I just wanted to give you a call."

"How could I not be in a hurry!" Wen Shuqiao shouted, "Send me the address, I'll be there right away."

Lin Yan continued, "We're in the next city right now. It will take you time to get here, and once he's out of the emergency room, President Shen will definitely have to be transferred back. Don't worry, Xiao Miao and I are here. You and Can Can take care of yourselves."

Wen Shuqiao took several deep breaths, while the cake anxiously circled around her feet.

Lin Yan said, "I'll stop now, sis, the doctor's here."

After saying that, Lin Yan hung up the phone.

Wen Shuqiao hurriedly walked towards the entrance, but halfway there she remembered that she was still wearing her pajamas, so she rushed back to the master bedroom to change.

When she came out, the cake was already pacing around in the entryway. Wen Shuqiao wondered if it was just her imagination, but she could see anxiety on the cake's face.

Wen Shuqiao composed herself, walked over, and anxiously changed her shoes.

"Woof!" the cake barked at her.

Wen Shuqiao turned to look at it and said, "I'm going out now. Cancan will walk you when I get back tonight."

She put on her shoes and was about to open the door when Cake started nibbling at her trouser leg: "Woof!"

Wen Shuqiao squatted down and stroked its head as usual: "Auntie has something very important to do now. The car is already in the garage, so don't make a fuss."

After saying that, she pushed the cake further inside, then got up, opened the door, and left.

The cake sat in the entryway and barked again, but no one came back.

Having no other option, it quickly ran to the balcony, wanting to see Wen Shuqiao, but then remembered that Wen Shuqiao would leave through the garage.

It paced anxiously in the living room several times, but it was just a puppy and couldn't do anything about it.

Wen Shuqiao silently went down to the underground garage. The family car was parked in the parking space. She walked over and opened the passenger door.

Sitting in the driver's seat was Shen Jiazhou, who had been in a "car accident".

Wen Shuqiao asked, "Where is Lin Yan?"

Shen Jiazhou leaned back in his chair and sighed, "After making the call, I told him to go back to the company first."

Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Okay."

The two remained silent in the car for a long time.

“We lied to him like this…sigh,” Shen Jiazhou couldn’t continue, pursing his lips and changing the subject: “What was his reaction to the cake…?”

Wen Shuqiao leaned back in her chair and said, "I'm quite anxious."

Their eyes met, and they both sighed.
