Xiao Miao and Lin Yan led Can Can back to the cafeteria stall. Wen Shu Qiao had already arrived and was writing something down in a notebook.
As soon as Can Can saw Wen Shu Qiao, she excitedly exclaimed, "Auntie~ Auntie~"
Wen Shuqiao turned around when she heard Cancan's shout, and a little lion jumped into her arms: "Auntie~ Auntie~"
Wen Shuqiao put down her things, smiled, and picked him up: "Whose little lion is this?"
Can Can buried her face in her shoulder: "Auntie~"
Xiao Miao and Lin Yan exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Thank goodness President Shen didn't see it."
If you saw that, wouldn't your eyes turn red like conjunctivitis?
As soon as Wen Shuqiao returned, Can Can became incredibly clingy and unwilling to get out of her arms. Helpless, Wen Shuqiao had no choice but to carry him out from the inside.
After they came out, they saw the cage in Xiao Miao's hand.
Xiao Miao said, "When we went there just now, they said the kitten and puppy had been checked and the doctor said there was nothing serious, and they just needed to take some of the medicine they prescribed."
Shortly after they entered the elevator, Shen Jiazhou sent a message, and Xiao Miao's reply was perfectly tactful.
Wen Shuqiao said in surprise, "I was thinking of picking you up later, thank you so much, Xiao Miao."
Xiao Miao smiled and said, "It's nothing. By the way, this is transitional food that the doctor gave us. I heard from Can Can that you haven't bought anything yet. It just so happens that this food is buy one get one free today, so I bought some for you. It's not expensive."
"Thank you so much. I was planning to buy two packs to keep on hand when I picked them up," Wen Shuqiao said gratefully. "You've been so kind to me, watching over Can Can and picking up the cats for me. You've taken up so much of your time."
Xiao Miao said, "It's no trouble at all. I'm not too busy at work lately, so I have plenty of time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to help you."
Lin Yan coughed lightly from the side: "Boss Wen."
Wen Shuqiao said in surprise, "What a coincidence, so you work here too."
Lin Yan had bought from the stall two or three times, and Wen Shuqiao remembered him.
Lin Yan said, "Yes, Xiao Miao and I share an office. She was away on work last time, so I didn't see her."
He smiled and said, "I only found out you guys joined our company when I saw Canbao. That's great, I won't have to go out to buy things anymore."
Wen Shuqiao exchanged pleasantries with them for a while, and Xiao Miao said, "I think it's already noon, so I'll drive you back. It's inconvenient for you to be carrying a child and things."
Before Wen Shuqiao could refuse, Lin Yan spoke up first: "Then should I put the things in your car first? I have a meeting later."
Xiao Miao nodded: "Okay, we'll be right down."
Lin Yan carried the dog and cat food and walked away quickly, not giving Wen Shuqiao a chance to refuse.
Xiao Miao said, "It's okay, are you done with your work?"
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Now that we're done, let's go."
Can Can had had her fill of clinginess by now, and showed the cake in her hand to Wen Shu Qiao like it was a treasure: "Uncle, buy it~"
Wen Shuqiao asked, "Did you thank Uncle?"
Can Can nodded: "Baby, darling~"
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because as soon as she did, Xiao Miao couldn't help but want to laugh, but her good manners prevailed and she held back her laughter!
If she can endure this, she'll succeed at anything!
Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek and went down to the garage with Xiao Miao.
Lin Yan left the cat and dog food there and then left. The two of them put the things in the car together, opened the car door, and Canbao sat obediently in the seat, with the box of milk and cake at his feet.
After Wen Shuqiao got into the car, Cancan moved around a bit more and ended up in Wen Shuqiao's arms.
Xiao Miao drove fast and steadily, and before we'd even had a chance to chat much, we were already home.
Xiao Miao entered their home and took a quick look around. Although the rented house was a bit out of the way, it was very clean, with a bright and cheerful toy corner and books on the coffee table. The traces of children were very obvious.
Back home, Can Can was noticeably more at ease, running around the house in her slippers.
Wen Shuqiao settled the cat and dog in the bathroom. After doing everything, she said to Xiao Miao, "Let's have lunch together? Thank you for all the help you've given us today."
Just as Xiao Miao was about to refuse, Can Can grabbed her hand and exclaimed, "Auntie Miaomiao~ Yay! It's so delicious~"
Cancan really likes coconut chicken. The last time I took him to eat it, he ate more than half of it all by himself.
This time, Xiao Miao didn't refuse and went downstairs with Wen Shuqiao.
Business is usually slow on weekdays for restaurants like this that require a leisurely pace of eating. There were few people in the restaurant, and their food came out quickly.
Can Can ate the crispy pork her aunt had ordered for her without saying a word.
Wen Shuqiao glanced at him, then said to Xiao Miao across from her, "You've really helped me a lot by looking after her for an hour."
Xiao Miao smiled and said, "Can Can is very well-behaved. He doesn't make a fuss and everyone likes him very much."
Wen Shuqiao patted his head: "Yes, but when I get really busy I definitely won't be able to take care of him. The cafeteria isn't a place where a kid like him can stay for long."
Just as Xiao Miao was about to speak, Wen Shuqiao continued, "I just saw the news about an after-school care center when I got back. It's not far from the company. I plan to send him there after I finish my work in the next couple of days, and then pick him up to go home together."
A warning bell rang in Xiao Miao's mind instantly: How could this be!
She took a sip of water and suggested, "Isn't it too early?"
Wen Shuqiao looked at her gently: "Is it early?"
Xiao Miao said, "Yes, Can Can isn't even four years old yet. Is he going to daycare so early? Besides, you probably know Can Can's personality better than I do. He doesn't like to play with other children. He just runs into your arms whenever he sees someone."
