After buying groceries and milk, Wen Shuqiao squatted down and said to Can Can, "Can Bao was very good today, how about Auntie rewards Can Bao with a toy?"
She recently bought some toys for the little boy online, but he didn't seem to like them much and didn't play with them much.
Wen Shuqiao led Cancan to the toy area: "Go find the toy you like."
Can Can held onto Wen Shu Qiao's fingers tightly, refusing to move. Wen Shu Qiao squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Canbao looked at the toys on the shelf, then turned to look at Wen Shuqiao and said, "Auntie, I don't want any toys."
These toys are very expensive!
When he was in the orphanage, he always saw the director worrying about money, and he had also observed in the past few days that his aunt didn't seem to have much money either!
Moreover, his aunt has to support him and cook delicious food for him, which has already cost her a lot of money.
The system had mixed feelings; the little boy's obedience and well-behavedness always surprised it.
Wen Shuqiao asked patiently, "Why? What does the baby like?"
Canbao pouted but still told the reason: "After buying the toy, Auntie won't have any money left."
Wen Shuqiao was stunned for a moment; she hadn't expected the young male lead to be so perceptive.
She pinched the little boy's cheek: "Auntie is rich. Didn't that uncle just give Auntie some money too?"
That uncle did transfer some money to Auntie. Cancan is very smart and knows how money transfers work.
But he was still conflicted.
The system spoke up again: "[Canbao, didn't you like that jigsaw puzzle?]"
As soon as it finished speaking, Wen Shuqiao added, "Doesn't Canbao like puzzles? Why don't you go get one yourself?"
The system was shocked; it hadn't expected the woman to have noticed that.
Although the little boy didn't play with any other toys, he finished all the simple puzzles she bought.
Can Can finally showed interest, and Wen Shu Qiao gently pushed him forward: "Go on, your aunt is waiting for you here."
This toy area is quite large. Wen Shuqiao just glanced at it; the puzzles are right in front of us, and you can see them from this position.
Can Can didn't really want to leave her aunt, but when she met Wen Shuqiao's encouraging gaze, she took a deep breath and walked towards where the puzzle was.
Just as she said, Wen Shuqiao stood still. Can Can took a few steps and couldn't help but look back. After seeing his aunt smiling and waiting for him, he gradually relaxed.
He quickly reached the jigsaw puzzle area. Looking at the beautiful patterns, Can Can asked, "Xi Tong, how much is this?"
The system, not quite, hadn't expected the young protagonist to seek its help just to ask about the price. It paused for a moment before replying, "[This is eighty-three.]"
Is 83 expensive or not?
Can Can asked again, "How many red envelopes do you want?"
The system replied: "One is more than you can spend."
Can Can thought for a moment: "It's too expensive, I want half a grandfather."
"What do you mean, half a grandfather..." the system said helplessly. "You want someone under fifty, right? Move further in; the ones outside are all expensive."
Upon hearing this, Can Can turned her head and glanced at Wen Shu Qiao again.
Seeing that my aunt was looking down at her phone, I felt relieved and went inside.
With the system's help, Cancan quickly found a jigsaw puzzle that only required half of Grandpa's figure, and there were two of them! That would keep him entertained for a long time.
Can Can excitedly turned her head to show her aunt, only to be horrified to find that her aunt was gone!
The system snorted: [Canbao, now you know I wasn't lying, right? This woman was just showering you with sweet words from the start! Then she dumped you!]
Can Can hurriedly ran back with the puzzle pieces in her hand.
The system advised: "[Canbao, it's good that she doesn't want you anymore, let's go find Uncle! Uncle can buy us lots of puzzles! We can eat lots of delicious food, and also...]"
"Auntie!"
Cancan ran over and suddenly pounced on Wen Shuqiao's legs.
Wen Shuqiao's leg was bumped, and she almost dropped what she was holding. She looked down and asked, "What's wrong?"
Can Can tilted her head back, her eyes red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Wen Shuqiao sighed, put the things she had just picked out back on the shelf, bent down, and easily picked up the little boy: "Why are you crying all of a sudden?"
Can Can said, "I didn't see Auntie."
Wen Shuqiao realized what was going on and said, "Auntie just happened to see some number cards and was going to get one for you."
She watched as the little boy carefully selected a puzzle piece. There happened to be some early childhood education items on the shelf next to them, so she decided to teach the little boy to recognize words and learn numbers.
The shelf is open at both ends, so the young male protagonist can see it as soon as he comes over.
Wen Shuqiao didn't expect to scare the young male lead to tears, and she felt a little guilty. She should have waited for him to come back and picked them out together.
She looked at the puzzle in the little boy's hand, her expression widening: "Wow, Canbao got the puzzle by himself, that's amazing!"
Can Can looked down at the puzzle, holding it with one hand and wrapping his other arm around Wen Shu Qiao's neck, burying his face in her shoulder.
Only in this way could he feel at ease.
Wen Shuqiao knew that the young male lead was frightened, so she patted his back and said, "It's Auntie's fault. Auntie apologizes to you and won't do it again next time."
The system looked at everything in surprise. This woman hadn't left?
Not only did she not leave, she also apologized to the young male lead!
Good heavens, is this still the same wicked woman?!
Even the system was a little confused by Wen Shuqiao, but it quickly figured it out: this must be a sugar-coated bullet! She definitely wanted to be nice to the young male lead first, and then betray him when he trusted her completely!
