Shen Jiazhou had a meeting this morning. After Xiao Miao came to wake him, he picked up Can Can and asked, "Baby, are you going to the meeting with your uncle?"
Can Can shook her head: "I'm not going!"
Baby has other things to do!
Shen Jiazhou didn't insist. This meeting was a routine one and would end in half an hour at the latest. Cancan was already familiar with the sixteenth floor and wouldn't wander off.
He said, "Then play by yourself for a while. When your uncle is done with his work, I'll take you downstairs to play, okay? I'll buy you some strawberry milk."
Can Can nodded: "Okay~ Baby will play by herself."
He leaned in and gave Shen Jiazhou a big kiss on the cheek, then rubbed his face against Shen Jiazhou's cheek, saying sweetly, "Uncle, work hard! Don't worry about the baby~"
Shen Jiazhou pinched his cheek: "You little rascal, I'll buy you a small cake later."
Xiao Miao knocked on the office door again: "President Shen, everyone has left."
Can Can tilted her head and waved to Xiao Miao: "Good morning, Auntie Miao Miao!"
A slight smile appeared on Xiao Miao's face: "Good morning, baby."
Shen Jiazhou placed him on the sofa, patted his head, and then turned and left with Xiao Miao.
After the office door closed, Can Can stared at it for a while longer.
The system was about to log off, but seeing his state, it comforted him, saying, "Your uncle will be back soon, don't worry."
Can Can hummed twice, sounding somewhat perfunctory.
The system code fluctuated slightly before continuing: "Want to play with toys? I'll play with you for a while."
Can Can shook her head: [I'm not playing.]
The system said, "[Then I'll teach you to recognize words and count, okay?]"
Can Can shook his head again. He asked, "Has Uncle left?"
[Hmm.] The system snorted: [What? Regretting it now? Your uncle just asked you to go to the meeting together, and you refused!]
Can Can pouted and commented: 【You talk too much.】
The baby only asked one question! Why does the system have to say so much?
[...] The system was so angry that it displayed gibberish.
But then Can Can moved. He slid off the sofa, stood on the coffee table, and started flipping through the photos with his fingers.
The system replied: "Let's watch it together a little longer then."
There are only a few photos, but I never get tired of looking at them.
Can Can picked up a photo, lowered his head, and carefully placed it in his coat pocket. However, his pocket wasn't deep; inside were some cookies and two candies that Wen Shuqiao had given him as snacks to tide him over when he was hungry.
Can Can looked at the photo that was more than half open, thought for a moment, pressed it tightly with one hand, and then turned around and walked towards the door.
"What are you doing?" the system asked, puzzled.
Can Can pretended not to hear it again.
He's been getting better nutrition lately, so he's not only gained a little weight but also grown taller.
He grabbed the doorknob and pressed down, easily opening the office door.
Can Can looked around to make sure there were no uncles or aunts in the office outside before she took the photo and went out.
The system sensed something was wrong: [Where are you going?]
Can Can ignored her and ran to the glass door.
He remembered that he had to press a button to open the door, and his uncle pressed the button on the wall every time he took him out.
However, the button was made a bit too high. Even when Can Can leaned against the wall, stretched out her hand, and stood on tiptoe, she still couldn't reach it.
The system finally figured it out and asked, "Are you looking for your uncle?"
Can Can asked, "System, can you open the door for me now?"
The system could still do it, but something still felt off, so it advised: "Your uncle will be back soon, don't..."
Before it could finish speaking, it saw Can Can bend down her knees, then suddenly jump up, her outstretched hand just touching the door switch button.
I heard a familiar beep, and the door opened.
Can Can looked down at the photo in her pocket first, and after making sure the photo hadn't fallen out, she pushed open the glass door and walked out of the office.
After leaving the office, Can Can walked to the elevator with practiced ease, looked around, and pressed the button.
The system realized that this kid wasn't going to see his uncle.
It said, "What if your uncle can't find you if you run around like this? You're not being a good boy at all."
This time, Can Can didn't pretend not to hear. He replied, "Baby didn't say to wait obediently for Uncle."
【?】The system tried hard to recall, and it seemed...it seemed...indeed...it didn't say anything about obediently waiting for Uncle to come back from the meeting today.
Good heavens, so that's where the scheme started! No wonder he's called Long Aotian! So clever at such a young age!
The system felt both moved and melancholy.
The elevator arrived, and Can Can stepped inside without hesitation. He looked at the number keys, reached out, and effortlessly pressed the number 2.
The case is solved; it's time to find that woman.
The system had mixed feelings. It hadn't expected that Can Can, who was usually so timid, would be able to so smoothly step out of the protective circle his uncle had placed in him in order to find this woman.
What kind of spell did this woman cast on him?
Can Can leaned tightly against the elevator wall, her little head tilted back to look at the monitor.
He had never ridden an elevator alone before. There was no one else inside, and his heart was pounding. "Hurry up, hurry up!" he thought, feeling a little scared.
The system replied: "You already have an uncle, why would you still want to go find her?"
Can Can said: 【It's my aunt!】
The system said: "She doesn't seem to like you that much; maybe she's only nice to you because of your uncle."
I won't go into detail about the strength of the Shen Group; how many people hope to get in touch with the Shen family?
Wen Shuqiao is definitely like that! It was almost bewitched by her appearance before!
Cancan patiently said, "My aunt likes me."
But after reconsidering what the system meant, he became a little angry and said, "[My aunt liked me even before my uncle came. System, you're so strange. If you keep talking about my aunt like that, I'm really going to get angry.]"
Can Can's eyes were red with anger, and her mouth was tightly closed, as if she refused to communicate.
The system softened its tone: "That's not what I meant, don't be angry."
It didn't know how to explain to Can Can that this woman would bully him, that hitting and scolding him would be the least of his worries. She would make him stand in the freezing water in the dead of winter wearing only thin clothes, and even if his face turned purple from the cold, she wouldn't feel sorry for him at all.
Many more outrageous things happened, though it didn't know why the woman had suddenly become so gentle.
But this was a predetermined path, and only with my uncle by my side could the difficulties be easily resolved.
But Can Can's expression clearly showed that she didn't believe it, so she sighed and simply fell silent.
The elevator quickly reached the second floor. Can Can, protecting the photo, stepped out of the elevator. He had a good sense of direction and knew where Wen Shu Qiao's window was.
The little boy suppressed his earlier unpleasantness, clutched his pocket tightly, and ran off.
Auntie! Baby! Here I come!
