Finally, as a reward, Can Can gulped down the entire glass of milk by herself.
After finishing his drink, he didn't want to get up from Shen Jiazhou's arms. He nestled in his uncle's arms, looked up, and asked, "Uncle~ did you eat well when you went out?"
"You ate well," Shen Jiazhou countered. "And you?"
"I ate properly too~" Can Can said, then secretly glanced at Wen Shu Qiao sitting next to her and whispered, "Auntie won't let me eat cake anymore, can you buy me some tomorrow?"
Shen Jiazhou pinched his chubby cheek: "It's not good. Your aunt doesn't let you eat it, and I can't disobey her, right?"
He looked at Wen Shuqiao with a smile in his eyes. Wen Shuqiao said helplessly, "Don't try to blame me. He's been eating too much lately."
Since his birthday a while ago, he's been eating small cakes almost every other day. She hadn't noticed until two days ago when Xiao Miao brought him chocolate milk and small cakes. Yu Qin mentioned it, and she realized that Can Can had indeed been eating a lot.
Yu Qin said that Can Can is already at a good age and can't gain any more weight, otherwise her development might be affected, and most importantly, she'll get cavities.
Wen Shuqiao had never raised a child before, and Can Can was taken over halfway through her life. He was always very easy to take care of, which made her overlook some small things.
Wen Shuqiao said, "We must not spoil them."
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "You're right."
Can Can sat in his lap, pouting. He asked, "Uncle, don't you love me anymore?"
"How did we get onto the topic of whether I love you or not?" Shen Jiazhou asked. "If I didn't love you, would I have brought you so many gifts so late at night?"
Can Can pouted, knowing that when it came to desserts, her uncle and aunt were completely on the same side.
How could you adults bully a baby like that! (〃＞目＜)
However, he quickly reassured himself and reached out to touch Shen Jiazhou's neck and then his facial features.
Shen Jiazhou grabbed the hand that was messing with his face: "What are you up to now?"
Can Can said innocently, "No, Uncle, can the baby eat a small cake once a week?"
He kept giving him difficult questions to answer. Shen Jiazhou then looked at Wen Shuqiao, who was about to go about her own business. After receiving Shen Jiazhou's pleading look, she sat back down.
She thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Can Can was delighted: "Okay!"
That's wonderful! My aunt is the best!
Shen Jiazhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
Hey kid, can you tone down your expression when you're putting others down? It's really an eyesore!
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh: "You guys have fun."
She got up from the sofa and sat down at the dining table.
While waiting for Shen Jiazhou, she was writing an update. There are still some parts she hasn't finished writing yet, but by the time she's done, Can Can should be asleep and Shen Jiazhou should have gone home.
Shen Jiazhou watched Wen Shuqiao sit down at the dining table. He had seen the keyboard when he was putting things down earlier. Now, seeing Wen Shuqiao sitting down and typing away, he thought for a moment, took out his phone, and transferred some money to Wen Shuqiao.
Wen Shuqiao looked at the notification bar, clicked on it, and found that it was sent by Shen Jiazhou.
[Uncle A: Transfer money (Note: CanCan's living expenses)]
Wen Shuqiao looked up at him: "President Shen, what's going on?"
Shen Jiazhou put his phone aside and said, "I should have transferred it to you a long time ago, but I was busy the other day and forgot."
Wen Shuqiao said, "Didn't I say before that we wouldn't need that many?"
"Not much." Shen Jiazhou glanced at her, then turned back to look at Can Can, who was playing with his buttons in his arms: "This is nothing. I'll open a supplementary card for you tomorrow, and any expenses Can Can incur will be covered by my account."
He looked up at Wen Shuqiao again: "You've already worked so hard taking care of Cancan. It's only fair that you contribute your time and I contribute my money."
Wen Shuqiao wasn't actually short of money right now. She looked down at the transfer record on the screen and said, "Okay, but you don't need to give me a supplementary card. Cancan doesn't need much stuff."
She accepted Shen Jiazhou's transfer and planned to open another card someday to save the remaining amount for Can Can.
Shen Jiazhou wanted to say something to Wen Shuqiao, but before he could open his mouth, the little one in his arms covered his mouth.
He glanced down and saw Can Can looking at him with a malicious smile.
He even deliberately asked, "Uncle? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Shen Jiazhou patted his butt, and Can Can snorted, "You naughty little uncle."
I spanked the baby's bottom again!
Shen Jiazhou pulled his hand away again, glanced at his watch, and said, "It's time to sleep." It was already 10:30.
Can Can looked at his watch and said, "Baby wants one too."
Why are the uncle's watch and the baby's watch different?
Shen Jiazhou took off his watch and put it on his wrist. Even though the strap was at its tightest, it still looked loose on Can Can's wrist.
Can Can looked intently at the watch on her wrist, but... she couldn't understand it.
Why are there no numbers? Why are there only shiny circles?
Shen Jiazhou said, "Shall I teach you?"
Can Can shook his head. He placed his hands obediently on his stomach, his fingers tapping the watch face absently. He said, "Uncle, I'm sleepy. I want to hear you tell a story."
Shen Jiazhou raised an eyebrow: "Still telling stories?"
Last time, I fell asleep in less than two minutes.
Can Can said, "This time I'm going to tell a story from the storybook! My aunt bought me a new storybook."
