The taxi was much smaller than his car. Can Can sat on the side to watch the night view, while Wen Shu Qiao sat in the middle, with both of them close together.
Shen Jiazhou pursed his lips and looked out the window. After a while, he lowered his gaze to his thigh. His hand and Wen Shuqiao's hand were very close. Anyone could reach out and hold hands with just a little bit.
"Hey? That auntie is selling so many flowers! Shall we buy some after we finish eating?" Can Can said, "The flowers at home have all gone bad."
"You could say it's withered," Wen Shuqiao patiently corrected. "Okay, whatever flowers you like, we'll buy them later."
Can Can leaned against Wen Shu Qiao, wrapping her arms around hers, and muttered, "I like the flowers you gave me!"
Wen Shuqiao chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll buy you flowers later."
Hearing their conversation, the driver couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror and exclaimed, "Your child is so adorable! How old is he?"
Can Can replied confidently, "Uncle, I'm already four years old, and I'll be five soon."
"You're already four years old." The driver couldn't help but glance at Wen Shuqiao and Shen Jiazhou: "You two got married quite early, didn't you? You look like you're only in your early twenties."
Shen Jiazhou blinked, not answering immediately, but looking at Wen Shuqiao. Wen Shuqiao just smiled and didn't say anything more.
Shen Jiazhou coughed lightly: "I'm not young anymore, I'll be thirty soon."
The driver exclaimed, "I can't believe it! I thought you guys had just graduated from university not long ago."
"I'm just dressed younger than I am." Shen Jiazhou was unusually interested in chatting for a bit: "You look young too."
"Oh dear, I'm not young anymore, I'm almost forty," the driver replied with a chuckle.
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but glance at Shen Jiazhou several times, thinking that Shen Jiazhou was in a really high spirits today.
The driver took them to their destination.
After getting out of the car, Shen Jiazhou took Cancan's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go."
Wen Shuqiao nodded, but couldn't help asking, "President Shen seems to be in a good mood today, chatting with strangers."
Shen Jiazhou hummed in agreement: "Anyway, I'm bored."
The driver's words echoed in his mind again, and he asked in a feigned tone, "But why didn't you reply when the driver said that?"
“There’s nothing to say,” Wen Shuqiao said. “If I say no, he’ll keep asking me what your relationship is, what the child’s parents do, and why you brought him out to play. It’s better to just smile a couple of times and let it go.”
Wen Shuqiao had been approached by strangers countless times in her past life, and eventually realized that she could just go along with what they said, and there was no need to tell strangers about her own affairs.
Shen Jiazhou's smile vanished instantly; it turned out he was just afraid of trouble...
He's overthinking it.
Wen Shuqiao was looking at Shen Jiazhou, so she could clearly see his smile instantly vanish.
She blinked, pretending not to see, and led Can Can into the store, leaving only the words, "Let's go inside."
Shen Jiazhou said "Oh," and followed, but still asked casually, "Have you thought about when you'd get married before?"
