Even after Wen Shuqiao finished redeeming her prize at the center with the store manager, she was still a little dizzy, as if she were walking on clouds, and it seemed that if she took another step, she would fall into the mud.
Shen Jiazhou was waiting for her at the door with Cancan in his hand. When she came out, Shen Jiazhou went up to her and asked, "Are you done? What did you say?"
Wen Shuqiao snapped out of her reverie, nodded, and murmured, "Yeah, they said it was a special bonus, so I bought all three. Oh, I still have to pay taxes..."
Shen Jiazhou chuckled upon hearing this: "It's too late now. How about I take you to pay the taxes tomorrow?"
It's already 5:30, the tax bureau has long since closed, so even if I wanted to go and pay, it wouldn't be possible.
Can Can walked over, took Wen Shu Qiao's hand, and raised her head, saying, "Auntie, let's go eat! Uncle said he'll take us out for something delicious today!"
Shen Jiazhou patted his head and said, "It's not your uncle treating today, it's your aunt's boss treating."
Wen Shuqiao took a deep breath: "Eat, eat the expensive stuff!"
Shen Jiazhou couldn't help but smile: "Boss Wen is so generous."
Can Can thought for a moment and said, "Then, Uncle, will you treat us to something delicious tomorrow?"
He then took Shen Jiazhou's hand and shook it. Shen Jiazhou looked down at him and said, "Please, eat as much as you want. When you officially start kindergarten, I'll throw a few tables to celebrate."
Can Can didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop him from wanting to say, "Okay!"
Wen Shuqiao laughed: "That doesn't seem right, does it? I've only ever heard of people setting up a banquet when they get into university."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiazhou thought for a moment and said, "University is still a long way off, let's put the kindergarten gifts aside for now. I've given so many gifts over the years, it's time for Cancan to take them back for me."
Wen Shuqiao blinked: "In novels, the gifts given by domineering CEOs are like water spilled on the ground; I've never seen one taken back."
Shen Jiazhou chuckled: "I'm not crazy. I worked hard to earn this money, so of course I want it back."
Especially the gifts from the Shen family; they received one wave for Can Can's birthday, and another wave for the kindergarten.
The two women led Can Can towards the car. Can Can walked between them. Although he couldn't understand what his aunt and uncle were talking about, it didn't stop him from being very happy. He swung his hands left and right, and soon they reached the car.
After getting into the car, the cold wind remained outside. Shen Jiazhou glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "Baby, fasten your seatbelt."
Can Can lowered her head, fastened her seatbelt, then turned to look at her aunt and said sweetly, "Auntie, your seatbelt isn't fastened either."
Wen Shuqiao was tidying up her coat when she heard Cancan say that, and couldn't help but pinch his cheek: "You little rascal, you have no manners."
Can Can grinned, showing his teeth. After his aunt finished fastening her clothes, he looked at his uncle in the driver's seat and said, "Let's go, Uncle! We're all fastened!"
Shen Jiazhou started the car, glanced at the rearview mirror again, and commented, "No respect for elders."
However, the upturned corners of his mouth betrayed his true emotions at that moment.
Shen Jiazhou booked a popular restaurant. He had heard Gu Xingyuan say he wanted to try it, but he wasn't interested and had never been.
After the meal, Wen Shuqiao wanted to pay, but was told that she had already paid. She looked at Shen Jiazhou next to her and said, "Didn't we agree that I would treat you?"
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "You're treating, so I'll pay. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Wen Shuqiao put her phone down: "Mr. Shen is very generous."
Can Can burped; no matter who paid, he was full.
The system snorted and said: [Not out—out—out—]
Can Can led the two adults by the hand to the elevator, reminding them, "System brother, you're stuck again."
The system buffered for a while before finally emitting a sound: "[Low battery, I'm going into hibernation.]"
Can Can was confused: "Brother, you seem to run out of energy so easily lately!"
It used to have plenty of power, so why does it run out of power so quickly now?
"It's hard to explain to you," the system said. "Anyway, I'm going into hibernation."
This time, however, it didn't log off immediately. Instead, it hesitated for a long time before saying, "[CanCan, if—I mean, if...]"
The elevator we took this time was a sightseeing elevator, from which we could see the scenery outside.
It was Can Can's first time sitting in something like this, and he was a little scared, so he squeezed between Wen Shu Qiao and Shen Jia Zhou, holding one arm and one leg.
Shen Jiazhou was exasperated: "Don't grab my legs like that."
Luckily, there were only the three of them in the elevator; it would have been so embarrassing if they had been seen.
Can Can wouldn't listen. He watched, terrified, yet still managed to answer the system: "What if, brother?"
[...] System silence: [Is it really that scary? Your voice is trembling.]
The atmosphere was instantly ruined, and it almost forgot what it was going to say.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived at the first floor smoothly in no time. Can Can's fear subsided, and he took their hands and walked out of the elevator confidently.
Pshaw, a tiny elevator, nothing special!
Shen Jiazhou almost laughed when he saw Can Can suddenly become so imposing. How could she switch between these two faces so quickly?
Wen Shuqiao noticed Shen Jiazhou's gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "I just think Cancan is suitable for face-changing, so let's enroll him in an interest class."
Wen Shuqiao: ?
What are you talking about?!
