Wen Shuqiao was arranging the prepared ingredients when she noticed a small hand resting on the glass of the window.
Although she couldn't see the head, she knew who it was just from that chubby hand.
She feigned confusion and asked, "Huh? Why is there a little hand?"
The next second, Can Can popped out, grinning, "Wow! Auntie! It's me!"
Wen Shuqiao's eyes crinkled into a smile as she put down her things and echoed him, "Oh, so it's baby's hand~"
Can Can chuckled, "Auntie~ I want to come in~"
Wen Shuqiao pointed behind her, and only after pointing did she realize that something was wrong. Why was it only Can Can?
What about Shen Jiazhou?
While she was thinking, Can Can had already entered through the door she pointed to. He skipped and hopped over to Wen Shu Qiao. Knowing that Wen Shu Qiao was busy, he didn't let her hug him, but instead took the initiative to hug her leg and rub his face against hers.
Upon smelling the familiar scent, she suddenly pouted and said, "Auntie~"
Wen Shuqiao squatted down, raised her hand and touched his face: "What's wrong, baby? Also, who brought you down here? Where's your uncle?"
Can Can rubbed his cheek against Wen Shu Qiao's palm. He took small, shuffling steps and snuggled into Wen Shu Qiao's arms. He didn't answer Wen Shu Qiao's question, but instead took out the photo he had been protecting from his pocket.
He held the photo in one hand and pointed at it with his other finger: "Auntie, that's Dad!"
Wen Shuqiao looked down. Was this Shen Jiachen?
She asked, "Who gave you this?"
Can Can tilted her head: "Uncle gave it to me!"
Shen Jiazhou gave it to you? This seems a bit off.
She looked down at the photo, but she remembered that in the novel, the male protagonist had never seen any photos or videos of Shen Jiachen from childhood to adulthood.
He only heard from others that the two brothers in the Shen family looked very alike, and every time he asked about his uncle, his uncle would make up some excuse.
So not knowing what his father looked like has always been a regret for the male protagonist, Shen Shiyue.
She wouldn't be mistaken; this point was considered a heart-wrenching moment in the story, and Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but feel sorry for the author when she read it. However, the author didn't explain why, and Wen Shuqiao, as a reader, naturally wouldn't delve into it. After all, it was just a bedtime read; why bother studying these things?
It wasn't until she saw this photo that Wen Shuqiao realized something was wrong, as if things were going against her expectations.
"Auntie? Auntie?"
Can Can tilted her head to look at Wen Shu Qiao. Why is it that when the baby talks to her aunt, her aunt doesn't say a word?
Wen Shuqiao snapped out of her daze and blinked, "What?"
Can Can handed the photos to Wen Shu Qiao and patiently repeated, "This is Uncle, this is Dad, and there are many more in Uncle's office. Auntie, shall we go see them later?"
Wen Shuqiao clutched the photo in her fingers and immediately realized what was going on. She looked at Can Can and asked, "So, where's your uncle?"
Can Can quickly covered her mouth. Oh no! She'd been found out!
The system couldn't help but retort: "You weren't hiding anything either..."
Wen Shuqiao understood; this kid came alone, no wonder she didn't see Shen Jiazhou or Xiao Miao with him.
She said sternly, "Can Can, how could you run down here alone?"
Can Can's ears twitched slightly; her auntie was angry! She wouldn't call her "baby" anymore!
He immediately reached out and hugged Wen Shuqiao's neck, admitting his mistake, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
Can Can burrowed into Wen Shuqiao's arms, and Wen Shuqiao said helplessly, "Are you a little pig? You're almost squeezing me over."
Can Can smiled and said, "Baby is Auntie's little pig."
System: 【…Flattery!】
Where is morality? Where is the bottom line? Wake up! You're Long Aotian!
Can Aotian didn't understand; he just wanted his aunt not to be angry.
Wen Shuqiao took out her phone from her pocket and quickly sent a message to Shen Jiazhou to prevent him from getting anxious because he couldn't find Cancan upstairs.
Looking at her, Can Can thought, "My aunt shouldn't be angry anymore, right?"
After sending the message, Wen Shuqiao asked, "Will your aunt take you upstairs?"
Can Can shook her head: "I want to stay with my aunt."
Then he muttered, "My aunt hasn't been spending time with the baby these past few days."
Wen Shuqiao opened her mouth and awkwardly explained, "My aunt is working."
Can Can wasn't buying it: "But my aunt was there when she was working before."
Why can't the baby stay with me just because we've moved to a different place?
My uncle's place is great. There are lots of toys, lots of snacks, cartoons to watch, and lots of uncles and aunts who are willing to play with the baby.
But my aunt was the only one missing.
Can Can skillfully buried her face in Wen Shu Qiao's shoulder: "Auntie~ Baby wants to stay with you~"
He mentioned to his uncle that he wanted to find his aunt, but his uncle said that his aunt had to work and he couldn't bother her.
But my uncle is working too! Why can I bother my uncle but not my aunt?
Moreover, rather than playing with toys in the office, he would rather sit next to his aunt, like before, nibble on a big chicken leg when he was hungry, then learn to read and count, waiting for his aunt to finish her work, and then take his little stool and go home with her.
Wen Shuqiao was unusually silent for a moment. She patted Cancan's head and asked, "Baby, don't you like being with your uncle?"
"I like it," Can Can said, "but I like Auntie even more~ Auntie, can you stay with me, okay?"
Wen Shuqiao's feelings were actually quite complicated. She knew the direction of the book and that Can Can's return to the Shen family was the predetermined ending. So after talking it out with Shen Jiazhou, she tacitly agreed that Shen Jiazhou would take Can Can away to cultivate their relationship.
