But in the end, Shen Jiazhou still bought him strawberry milk.
Can Can, completely satisfied, carried the cake and milk back to his office with him. He didn't forget to say, "Uncle~ keep the photos safe!"
When Can Can saw Shen Jiazhou, she gave her father's photo to her uncle.
Shen Jiazhou said, "Understood."
Can Can watched him put the photo into his desk drawer: "Have Xiao Miao do it tomorrow..."
He paused for a moment, then changed his words, saying, "I'll have your Aunt Miao Miao buy a few picture frames tomorrow, and we can put them in the office."
Can Can nodded: "Okay, okay~"
That way, whenever he wants to look, he can see it just by looking up!
The system happily flashed its code a few times: 【Uncle is brilliant!】
Can Can held the strawberry milk in both hands. He didn't drink it immediately, but instead handed it to Shen Jiazhou.
Shen Jiazhou asked, "What?"
"Uncle, you should drink too!" Can Can said, "Sharing!"
Shen Jiazhou pinched his cheek: "Don't think that I'll forget about you running around like that. I'm not drinking."
He pinched it twice, then couldn't resist pinching it a couple more times.
The soft, chubby cheeks are quite nice to pinch.
Can Can huffed angrily and took a big gulp of strawberry milk.
My stingy uncle! I'm not sharing anymore!
The system then chimed in with a sarcastic remark: "[The milk was bought by my uncle, and so was the cake.]"
Can Can, holding the milk, weakly collapsed onto Shen Jia Zhou. The system's words were still so unpleasant!
Shen Jiazhou looked down in confusion, seeing Can Can's utterly dejected expression: "What's wrong?"
Can Can raised her head and said with a sad face, "Uncle, you don't understand."
You'll understand when you're that age!
system:【……】
Shen Jiazhou: ...
Ugh, my hands are itching. The urge to give some kid a good spanking is getting stronger.
After finishing her work, Wen Shuqiao hurriedly went upstairs to pick up Cancan, said goodbye to Shen Jiazhou, and Cancan happily went home with her aunt.
Shen Jiazhou watched them leave the office before he couldn't help but mutter, "You heartless little devil."
Once he had his aunt, he forgot about his uncle.
But now I can finally focus on my work.
*
Lin Yan still escorted Wen Shuqiao and Can Can to the entrance of the residential area. Despite repeatedly stating that it was not far, Lin Yan still fulfilled his duty.
She held Can Can's hand and walked into the residential area, saying with emotion, "Auntie is really benefiting from the baby's good fortune."
There's a car to pick you up and drop you off for work.
Can Can looked up at her aunt, full of doubt: "Baby isn't glowing?"
Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It seems I really need to send you to school to study."
Can Can was even more confused. "Auntie, what are you laughing at?"
[This girl...] The system paused for a moment: [Your aunt is laughing at you for being stupid, you idiot!]
Can Can snorted: "You're the idiot!"
The two factions, one small and one unified, are once again on opposite sides! Neither can convince the other who is the real idiot.
Wen Shuqiao took Cancan's hand and went upstairs. Cancan said, "Auntie, can we bring milk cake down to play later?"
“Of course,” Wen Shuqiao said. “The leash I ordered just arrived.”
Milk and Cake have been kept at home. Wen Shuqiao has raised them to be plump and round, much bigger than when she first rescued them. It's time for them to go out for a walk.
Although this is an old neighborhood, there are still many people living here. When the weather is nice, there are quite a few people walking their dogs and cats. Every time Can Can sees someone walking their dog or cat, she can't help but take a second look.
Can Can happily exclaimed, "Yay!"
A smile appeared on Wen Shuqiao's face, but it froze when she reached the door. Her brows furrowed unconsciously, but she quickly regained her composure: "Why are you here?"
Lately, there have been quite a lot of people coming to her door.
The unexpected guest this time was Qu Lan.
Qu Lan stepped forward: "Shu Qiao."
Can Can gripped Wen Shu Qiao's fingers tightly. Wen Shu Qiao patted his head to comfort him, then said to Qu Lan, "Let's go inside and talk."
Qu Lan was somewhat surprised by her indifferent attitude, but thinking about what had happened today, she pursed her lips and said, "Okay."
Wen Shuqiao opened the door, and Milk and Cake, who had already heard the noise at the door, were wagging their tails and waiting for them. As soon as the door opened, they enthusiastically surrounded them. Milk climbed up Cancan's leg, while Cake hopped and bounced, trying to get on Wen Shuqiao's leg, wagging its tail so hard it almost broke, and making soft whimpering noises.
Cancan hugged the milk, then bent down and patted the cake's head: "Good girl, good girl!"
Wen Shuqiao also squatted down and touched the cake first, then touched the milk in Cancan's arms: "Baby, take the milk and cake to the bedroom to play. Grandma and I have something to talk about."
Can Can couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the old lady.
He knew the old woman, and his impression of her was neither good nor bad. Since his aunt had said so, he picked up one in each arm, like a little strongman, and carried the milk cakes back to his bedroom.
Qu Lan stood at the doorway, taking in everything. Wen Shuqiao turned around and said, "Come in."
She didn't know what to call Qu Lan.
A few unfathomable emotions flashed in Qu Lan's eyes, but she still went into the house without saying a word.
After closing the door, Wen Shuqiao went to the kitchen to wash her hands and poured two glasses of warm water. When she returned to the living room, Qu Lan was looking around the small room.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Please sit down."
Qu Lan then sat down.
Wen Shuqiao took a sip of warm water and waited quietly for Qu Lan to speak.
Qu Lan glanced at Wen Shuqiao several times, and after confirming that Wen Shuqiao had no intention of speaking, she sighed and couldn't sit still any longer: "Shuqiao, I came here today because of Qin Sheng's matter."
