Chapter 86 Secret



Back at the company, Wen Shuqiao quickly got back to work, while Miao Yi had already wasted about an hour.

It seems she needs to hurry up with hiring employees, otherwise things could get complicated if something goes wrong.

After finishing all the work, Wen Shuqiao turned around and saw Cancan sitting obediently at the small table specially prepared for him, drawing.

These crayons were brought back by Lin Yan when he came back. He said Miao Yi bought them for Can Can to cheer her up.

Wen Shuqiao watched him doodle on the paper, thought for a moment, then walked over and squatted down by the table: "Baby, what are you drawing?"

Can Can looked up and smiled, saying, "I'll draw Mommy, Daddy, and Auntie~"

Looking at the three colorful circles and lines on the drawing paper, Wen Shuqiao asked with bright, sparkling eyes, "Isn't it beautiful, Auntie?"

“Beautiful, baby is a little artist.” Wen Shuqiao patted his head: “Why don’t you draw yourself?”

After thinking for a moment, he added, "And your uncle too."

"I want to draw." Can Can held up a magenta paintbrush. "Baby will draw everything, because we are a happy family~"

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh: "Little painter, where did you learn to speak?"

Can Can said earnestly, "It was on Uncle Wonton's phone, and I heard it just now."

The windows weren't far apart. The owner of the noodle stall next door liked to watch short videos in his spare time, playing self-deceptive platitudes about the hardships of a man's life. Wen Shuqiao listened to them as background music.

I didn't expect that Can Can would learn it after sitting here for just over an hour.

She continued watching as Cancan drew a deformed circle with a magenta paintbrush, followed by a vertical line and four diagonal strokes.

He asked with satisfaction, "Auntie~ Is this Uncle~ Beautiful?"

Wen Shuqiao glanced at it twice: "Pretty good."

Can Can nodded: "Baby thinks it's beautiful!"

"..." Wen Shuqiao coughed lightly and continued, "Baby, Auntie has something to ask you."

Can Can put down her paintbrush and sat up straight: "Okay."

Wen Shuqiao asked, "Cancan, what happened to your brother?"

Can Can's little face scrunched up. How could he tell his aunt? He couldn't tell her about the system!

Wen Shuqiao took in his reaction. She sighed and said slowly, "Okay, baby has a little secret. I won't tell your aunt."

Can Can quickly got up from the small stool and walked to Wen Shuqiao's side. He instinctively pounced on her, almost knocking Wen Shuqiao to the ground.

This little orange has grown taller and gained a lot of weight recently; it's practically solid now.

"Auntie~ Auntie~" Can Can didn't care and immediately hugged her neck and acted coquettishly.

Wen Shuqiao cried out, "Let go! Your aunt is about to faint from being strangled!"

"No~" Can Can pressed her face against hers and rubbed against her: "Auntie~"

"Stop acting cute and clingy." Wen Shuqiao was exasperated.

What tricks are they using? They've even started cheating.

She said, "Your trick won't work on me. I need to get busy now."

Can Can then released Wen Shu Qiao's neck, cupped her face and looked at her. Oh no, Auntie is really angry.

He said, "Baby has no secrets, Auntie~ I can't tell you."

Can't explain it?

Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips slightly, grabbed his hand, and pulled it away from her face: "Why can't you say it?"

Can Can shook his head, looking confused. "I don't know. My brother won't let me tell you."

He's still angry about the system; it just won't appear, no matter how much he calls out to it in his mind.

Wen Shuqiao's expression softened, and she asked, "Did my brother also tell you about Aunt Miaomiao's situation today?"

Can Can nodded: "Yes."

Wen Shuqiao looked Cancan up and down, and finally, with her slender fingers, she gently tapped Cancan's forehead: "Brother, is he here?"

Can Can nodded even more vigorously this time, her eyes sparkling: "Auntie~ how did you know?"

Wen Shuqiao asked, "Does having your brother in your mind make you feel uncomfortable?"

Can Can said, "No, it's just that my brother always talks badly about you."

A smug look appeared on his face: "But I told it that if it said anything bad about you again, the baby wouldn't talk to it anymore, and now it doesn't say anything bad about you anymore."

Wen Shuqiao pulled him into her arms and asked softly, "Is there anything else?"

Can Can thought for a moment: "Brother likes Uncle the most. He never allows me to bully Uncle, but I don't. I love Uncle very much."

Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek: "Who else knows about my brother's affairs?"

"No more." Can Can pouted, "Brother won't let me say it."

He covered his mouth as he said this, and Wen Shuqiao asked in confusion, "What's wrong, baby?"

Can Can leaned close to Wen Shu Qiao's ear and whispered, "Brother said we can't tell, or he'll take the baby to get a shot and open her head!"

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but laugh, thinking to herself that she had said quite a bit about this.

Can Can regretted it now, and asked with a long face, "Auntie~ is it time for baby to have his head opened?"

But this isn't exactly what the baby said; Auntie is so smart, she guessed it.

Wen Shuqiao rubbed her head: "Did your brother really not hurt you?"

"No, my brother taught me to count numbers, taught me to read ancient poems, and called me stupid," Can Can complained, looking aggrieved.

Baby is so upset!

Wen Shuqiao rubbed Cancan's head: "If you feel unwell, just tell your aunt, okay?"

Can Can hummed in agreement: "Auntie, are you not angry anymore?"

“Auntie isn’t angry.” Wen Shuqiao put her hand down and continued, “This is a secret between us. We can’t tell anyone else, okay? That way, your brother won’t know that you let it slip and he won’t let you have your head opened.”

"Okay!" Can Can covered her mouth: "I definitely won't tell!"

Great news! There's hope for the baby's brain!

"Keep drawing, and show it to your uncle when you're done." Wen Shuqiao stood up: "Auntie has to go now."

Can Can happily agreed, then sat back down on his little stool and drew even more enthusiastically. He wanted to draw the most beautiful family!

Wen Shuqiao walked to the side, but turned around and looked at Cancan.

She roughly guessed what the "brother" in his mind probably meant.

There are two possibilities. One is that CanCan was previously harmed, and this second personality developed to protect herself. But since she came to this world, apart from being a little timid and shy, CanCan doesn't seem to have anything else to offer.

However, he really should be taken for a full check-up, both physically and mentally.

If all these tests come back normal, then the "brother" in his mind is a very strange existence.

But if she could travel from another world to here, then one more strange being wouldn't be surprising.
