Shen Jiazhou carried Cancan back to the office and first took him to see the water dispenser in the office.
Can Can watched as Shen Jia Zhou opened the dark cabinet next to the sofa and realized it was a water dispenser. No wonder the baby couldn't find it!
"Next time you want water, call me first, understand?" Shen Jiazhou handed him the water bottle: "Drink slowly, don't burn yourself."
Actually, Shen Jiazhou added some cold water, so the temperature wouldn't scald Cancan, but he still couldn't help but remind her.
Can Can nodded, holding the water bottle: "Okay~ Baby, be careful!"
Shen Jiazhou patted his head gently and said, "Go play, remember to tell me if you want to go out."
Can Can nodded obediently, then quickly glanced at the other giant uncle before running off to her pile of toys.
Gu Xingyuan's gaze remained fixed on the uncle and nephew. When Shen Jiazhou turned around, he saw Gu Xingyuan's expression, as if he had seen a ghost.
Shen Jiazhou withdrew the gentleness he showed in front of Can Can, reverting to his unchanging icy expression: "What?"
Gu Xingyuan clicked his tongue in amazement at his rapid change of expression, which was faster than flipping through a book: "We've been inseparable since we were little, do you really not have any kindness towards me at all?"
Shen Jiazhou rolled his eyes, walked to the sofa and sat down: "Spit it out."
Gu Xingyuan said, "I just happened to be passing by on my way back, so I came up to have some tea with you. I didn't expect..."
He glanced back at Can Can, who was now sitting quietly in his toy corner. Can Can was holding a doll and peeking at him, but quickly hid his face behind the doll when he approached.
Shen Jiazhou said, "Don't stare at him."
Gu Xingyuan withdrew his gaze and sighed deeply, "He really does resemble Brother Chen."
Shen Jiazhou didn't speak, so Gu Xingyuan asked, "When were you found?"
Judging from the condition of the toy and Shen Jiazhou's current state, it doesn't seem like it was just found.
Shen Jiazhou had only mentioned in their small group chat that there was some progress, but there had been no further developments since then. They all thought they hadn't found him yet, but unexpectedly, he admitted to the crime.
Shen Jiazhou said, "It hasn't been long, and they haven't acknowledged me yet."
Gu Xingyuan frowned: "What do you mean?"
Shen Jiazhou showed a rare bit of patience: "He is still living with his aunt, and I want him not to go back to the Shen family so soon."
Lin Yan and Xiao Miao couldn't understand why they weren't willing to immediately acknowledge their nephew back, even though they had already found him.
But as Shen Jiazhou's childhood friend, Gu Xingyuan understood the reason behind it.
His expression darkened slightly: "Did you tell Grandpa Shen?"
Shen Jiazhou said, "Not yet, he recently went out to relax."
Shen Jiazhou only learned about Can Can's existence by accident some time ago; the Shen family had no idea that Shen Jiachen had a child.
Gu Xingyuan scratched his hair and couldn't help but complain, "What kind of mess is this?"
Shen Jiazhou said, "When I saw him, I understood why my brother was unwilling to say that he had a child. Once he returned to the Shen family, he would be under even more constraints."
Unlike now, where you can cry when you want to cry and laugh when you want to laugh.
Back in the Shen family, every word and action was disciplined, simply because they were members of the Shen family.
Gu Xingyuan said, "We can't just let him stay out all the time, can we? Besides, he has you as his uncle who dotes on him, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Although Gu Xingyuan said this, he was well aware of Shen Jiazhou's concerns. He thought for a moment, then remembered something he had forgotten: "You said he lives with his aunt, who is his aunt?"
“Wen Shuqiao,” Shen Jiazhou said.
Wen Shuqiao?
Gu Xingyuan was puzzled. The name sounded so familiar, but he couldn't quite place it in his mind.
Shen Jiazhou said, "The one from the Su family."
"Wow!" Gu Xingyuan exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. "I knew that name sounded familiar! It's that fake heiress!"
Shen Jiazhou glanced at him, and Gu Xingyuan immediately changed his tune, saying, "That's good. But I heard the Qin family wants to arrange a marriage with her. Isn't that strange? Normally, a marriage should be between a real heiress and a real young master... Sigh, don't roll your eyes at me, I'm just telling the truth!"
Shen Jiazhou withdrew his gaze, and Gu Xingyuan continued, "Moreover, I've met Qin Sheng a few times. He's quite arrogant and proud. How could he be willing to marry Miss Wen? This is really strange."
Arranged marriages often lack any emotional foundation, so it's always about choosing what's advantageous. But why choose Wen Shuqiao?
Seeing that Shen Jiazhou remained silent, Gu Xingyuan's eyes lit up: "What did you find out? Share it with us!"
Shen Jiazhou then said, "Qin Sheng likes men."
Gu Xingyuan's eyes widened: "Holy crap?"
Preferring men? Yet seeking a woman for a marriage alliance—the underlying interests are obvious.
Gu Xingyuan said, "If that's really the case, isn't that too low? Why does having a prince as an heir to the throne mean you have to come up with this trick... No, a marriage alliance is no small matter, so the Su family and the Qin family are fully aware of it?"
No wonder he didn't want a real heiress!
Gu Xingyuan then asked, "Does Wen Shuqiao know about this?"
Shen Jiazhou shrugged; he had only found out about it last night.
Judging from the situation yesterday, Wen Shuqiao has no chance of agreeing to the marriage alliance. But the Qin and Su families have a partnership, so it can't just be left like this.
She was Can Can's aunt, and Shen Jia Zhou was willing to help her resolve this small matter.
Shen Jiazhou simply said, "They're in a real hurry; they came to our door yesterday." Otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed his identity to Wen Shuqiao so quickly.
