Chapter 268 Little Thoughts



After lunch, it was time for the lucky draw, which everyone was looking forward to.

Shen Jiazhou asked in a low voice, "Do you want to smoke?"

Wen Shuqiao shook her head. She looked at Shen Jiazhou, who was now leaning back in his chair with his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

She said softly, "Let's go back first. I'll have the driver meet us at the door."

In fact, other members of the management team were also given a lot of alcohol. Several of them got very drunk and had to be sent back to be taken care of.

Wen Shuqiao didn't expect that Shen Jiazhou would drink so much just because she came to the annual party to have some fun.

Shen Jiazhou nodded: "Okay."

He felt the same way and wanted to go home to rest as soon as possible.

Wen Shuqiao glanced around the venue a few more times but didn't see Miao Yi, so she took out her phone and found her WeChat.

Shen Jiazhou, seemingly lost in thought, leaned closer and muttered, "What are you doing? Aren't you going home?"

Wen Shuqiao was editing a message. She replied patiently, "Tell Xiaomiao that we're leaving now, otherwise she might get worried if she can't find us when she comes over."

"Oh." Upon hearing Miao Yi's name, Can Can slid off his chair and snuggled into Wen Shu Qiao's arms. He said, "Auntie, I also want to thank Aunt Miao. She bought me a gift! I just had the driver put it in the car!"

It's an Ultraman toy set! I can play with An'an next time!

Wen Shuqiao smiled and said, "Yes, thank you. Don't worry."

Can Can nodded in satisfaction, watching her aunt's fingers fly across the screen. Suddenly, the system in her mind said: "Look at your uncle."

Can Can obediently looked at her uncle and saw that he had one arm draped over the back of her aunt's chair, his eyes fixed on her aunt's profile.

He hummed in agreement and asked with a puzzled look, "I saw it. What happened to Uncle?"

The system hummed: [Uncle's got some ulterior motives.]

What's your little scheme?

Can Can wanted to ask more questions, but then he saw Wen Shuqiao put his phone back in his pocket. He subconsciously looked at his uncle, who was already leaning back in his chair to rest.

It was as if what he had just seen was an illusion.

Wen Shuqiao didn't notice the little scheme between the uncle and nephew. She patted Cancan on the back and said, "Hold the cake tight, we're going home."

Can Can's attention shifted instantly, and he nodded seriously: "Okay! I'll hold it tight, it won't run away!"

Cake is the most obedient little dog in the world!

The cake rubbed against her leg, seemingly to show its loyalty and that it wouldn't run away!

After giving Can Can some instructions, Wen Shu Qiao looked at Shen Jia Zhou beside her and said, "Jia Zhou, let's go."

Shen Jiazhou opened his eyes and stood up from the chair: "Hmm? Hmm, let's go home."

Seeing his condition, Wen Shuqiao asked, "Are you alright?"

Shen Jiazhou shook his head: "...It's nothing."

What could possibly happen to him? Excellent!

Wen Shuqiao wasn't completely at ease either. She had known Shen Jiazhou for so long, and this was the first time she had seen him in this state. She still needed to go home quickly so he could rest.

Shen Jiazhou walked in front, while Wen Shuqiao, holding Can Can's hand, followed a step behind him. Looking at his gait, it seemed as if he was floating.

Wen Shuqiao thought that nothing should happen, but then she saw him trip over his own foot and fall forward. Startled, Wen Shuqiao let go of Cancan and rushed to his side to hold him tightly to prevent him from falling.

Shen Jiazhou steadied himself, looked down at Wen Shuqiao who was holding his arm, and said seriously, "I can walk by myself."

Wen Shuqiao hummed in agreement, but didn't let go of her hand. Instead, she turned to Can Can and said, "Baby, come on, hold your uncle's other hand."

Can Can obediently walked over and took Shen Jia Zhou's hand, which was hanging down to his side, and said sweetly, "Uncle, you have to hold my hand tightly!"

What if he falls down! His handsome uncle's face will be covered in ash.

[Tsk.] The system couldn't help but click its tongue: [Even with his head full of ash, the young man is still the most handsome!]

Cancan responded with "Mmm-hmm" sounds.

system:……

His perfunctory manner was exactly the same as Wen Shuqiao's just now.

After receiving Wen Shuqiao's message, the driver drove to the entrance of the club. Shen Jiazhou got in the car and sat down. Can Can and Cake squeezed in as well. He had no choice but to move further in, and Wen Shuqiao got in on the other side.

She looked at Can Can and sighed, wondering how she could sit next to her. The driver thoughtfully raised the partition, and the back seat became a private space.

Can Can didn't really want to be close to her uncle. Although the back seat was spacious, her uncle was a giant.

He patted the cake's head, and the cake quietly lay down.

Can Can stepped past Shen Jia Zhou and saw that she was about to squeeze between the two of them. Wen Shu Qiao sighed and pulled him onto her lap: "Uncle is not feeling well, don't push him."

"Okay." Can Can leaned against her aunt: "Auntie, did An An reply to my message?"

Wen Shuqiao took out her phone again, and after unlocking it, Xiao Miao replied to her message.

[Xiao Miao: Okay, is President Shen alright? I just went to check on him. He got the wrong alcohol content for the drink; he meant for a low-alcohol bottle, but he got one that was over 40 proof. President Shen drank almost a whole bottle.]

No wonder, Wen Shuqiao thought to herself, no wonder she looked so smug.
