Chapter 172 A feast for the eyes (shuhaige.net)



At 7:30 a.m., Wen Shuqiao was woken up by her biological clock on time.

She finished tidying up and went downstairs. Just then, the kitchen helper came out. When she saw Wen Shuqiao coming down, she said, "Miss Shuqiao, we're having seafood noodles for breakfast. Mr. Shen hasn't gotten up yet. Would you like me to cook them now, or wait a while?"

Wen Shuqiao said, "Wait a minute, I'll go take a look."

Strange, she usually gets up around this time, and Shen Jiazhou gets up not long after, so why is she so late today?

The auntie agreed and went to the laundry room. Wen Shuqiao walked to the door of the children's room, her hand resting on the handrail. After thinking for a moment, she knocked on the door first: "Jiazhou, are you up?"

Soon, a voice came from inside: "Come in."

Wen Shuqiao then pressed down on the handrail and pushed open the door. She walked to the bed, and Shen Jiazhou helplessly lifted the quilt. Wen Shuqiao looked over and saw that Can Can was almost completely lying on top of him.

He rarely slept so "unrestrainedly," with one leg across Shen Jiazhou's stomach and one arm pinching his ear, snoring away, showing no sign of waking up.

No wonder Shen Jiazhou hasn't gotten up yet. Wen Shuqiao said, "Wake him up."

Shen Jiazhou pinched Cancan's cheek by feel: "No need, let him sleep. It's rare for him to sleep this late on weekdays."

It's making it hard for him to get up. Last night, if he moved even slightly, Can Can would immediately come over like a tracking device. She didn't wake up, but subconsciously made whimpering sounds like a puppy, which made him afraid to move.

Wen Shuqiao stepped forward, bent down slightly, and then reached out and gently removed Cancan's hand from Shen Jiazhou's ear. She tucked his arm under the blanket and straightened his legs.

She tucked Cancan's blanket in, wrapping Cancan up tightly.

After Wen Shuqiao straightened up, Shen Jiazhou got out of bed. Wen Shuqiao stepped back to make room for him.

Shen Jiazhou asked, "Why are you up so early today instead of going to the company?"

Wen Shuqiao glanced at Cancan and casually replied, "I'm used to it. Let's talk outside."

Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement. He walked out of the children's room first, and after taking a few steps, he turned around and saw that Wen Shuqiao was still standing by the bed, bending over and tidying the quilt to prevent drafts from getting in.

He pursed his lips and turned back, but Wen Shuqiao had already straightened up again. She raised her chin towards the door, and the two of them walked out of the children's room together.

Shen Jiazhou took a deep breath: "I'll go wash up first."

Wen Shuqiao nodded, glanced at the time, and went to the kitchen.

When Shen Jiazhou came out, Wen Shuqiao was sitting at the dining table looking down at her phone. Hearing footsteps, she looked up from her phone, raised her head and looked straight at him, and slightly raised her eyebrows: "President Shen, you look especially handsome today."

Shen Jiazhou chuckled, pulled out a chair, and casually draped his suit jacket over an empty chair next to him: "Doesn't this prove that your judgment is indeed correct?"

He was wearing the dark green suit that had been delivered yesterday morning, and the shirt underneath was also in the same color family, only much lighter in color.

Shen Jiazhou's wardrobe is almost entirely filled with black and gray suits. When he's not working, he dresses more casually. He hasn't tried this color before, but it seems to suit him quite well.

Moreover, dark green is a color that is difficult to pull off, let alone a suit. Shen Jiazhou looked stunning in this outfit; every detail suited him perfectly.

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times. Shen Jiazhou picked up his chopsticks, merely raised his eyes, and lazily asked, "Are you going to eat or not?"

"Eat up." Wen Shuqiao smiled and picked up her chopsticks, teasingly saying, "President Shen looks quite appetizing today."

"Wen Shuqiao." Shen Jiazhou subconsciously wanted to purse his lips, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Are you crazy?"

It's confirmed that Can Can learned those sweet words to coax people from her.

Wen Shuqiao picked up the noodles: "I'm praising you, why are you getting angry?"

Shen Jiazhou scoffed: "I didn't hear you praising me. Instead, I think you're acting like a hooligan."

Is it okay to let him use her because she's so beautiful?

Wen Shuqiao pretended not to see the smile on his face and said, "Okay then, I'm a hooligan."

Shen Jiazhou: ...

Could you please not admit it so readily? It's making him a little unhappy right now.

Wen Shuqiao had already lowered her head to eat breakfast, and Shen Jiazhou hummed softly before picking up his chopsticks as well.

After the two finished breakfast, Wen Shuqiao neatly returned the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen. When she came out, Shen Jiazhou had already put on his coat.

Wen Shuqiao asked, "When will Cancan's clothes be delivered?"

Shen Jiazhou glanced at his watch: "Around nine o'clock, they will also give you a few sets of adult clothes. If you like any of them, you can keep them."

"Hmm? Okay, I'll take a look then," Wen Shuqiao replied casually.

Shen Jiazhou added, "Their store sends over new clothes every year, for free."

"Okay, I understand," Wen Shuqiao said. "I'll see what to do later."

Shen Jiazhou slowly buttoned up his suit jacket: "Shall I have the driver take you to see the house this afternoon? Bring Can Can along too, he probably won't be used to having his aunt take care of him."

Last night, when he was putting Can Can to bed, he was so lazy he didn't even want to move. If he left it to the nanny, the roof would probably be blown off.

Wen Shuqiao was about to go to the children's room to see if Cancan was awake, but after hearing Shen Jiazhou's words, she stopped and faced him: "No need, I can take him out myself."

Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "If needed..."

"I'll message or call you if there's any trouble," Wen Shuqiao said before he could finish, waving goodbye.
