In the lobby on the first floor, Can Can leaned against her aunt, her eyes fixed on the stairs. Why hadn't her uncle come down yet? The baby was sleepy!
He let out a long yawn, unable to resist, and snuggled into his aunt's arms: "Auntie~"
Wen Shuqiao hugged him and said, "We'll be home soon. You can sleep when we get home."
Can Can nodded obediently and asked, "Auntie, can you tell me a story tonight?"
"Don't you tell that every night?" Wen Shuqiao asked. "What kind of story do you want to hear?"
Can Can pouted. Her auntie wasn't telling a story at all! She was reciting an ancient poem! The baby listened intently, but fell asleep very quickly!
Looking at him, Wen Shuqiao knew what he was thinking. There was nothing she could do. She had been telling him stories, but most of the time Cancan would become more and more engrossed in listening and wouldn't fall asleep at all. He wanted to hear one story after another.
She was so sleepy her eyelids were drooping, but his eyes were wide open like saucers.
Later, she changed her approach and found some ancient poems. She would just recite them casually, but the effect was surprisingly good. Sometimes, he would fall asleep before she even finished reciting a single poem.
[No wonder you're so easily swayed by others' words.] The system suddenly realized. It had been wondering why, thinking it had learned it from cartoons, but it turned out it might have been taught by Wen Shuqiao.
But this teaching is really terrible!
Can Can said inside: "[It's my fault for not remembering! Why did you mention Auntie?]"
The system snorted: [You always pop up whenever someone says something bad about her, but why don't you ever defend your uncle?]
"But you didn't say anything bad about Uncle." Can Can suddenly remembered something and said earnestly, "Also, System, you're wrong. Uncle doesn't want Baby's money, and he won't steal Baby's money."
My uncle earns money and spends it on the baby!
The system thought to itself, "When did he ever say such treasonous things?"
But I quickly remembered, oh, it was this silly pig who misunderstood at the beginning.
Can Can still wanted to argue that she wasn't a stupid pig, but that she was her aunt's smart baby!
Then a voice called out enthusiastically, "Hey! Baby~"
Upon hearing this sound, Can Can instinctively turned her head to look at the doorway, where a person was walking towards them at an incredibly fast pace, with a terrifying smile on their face!
Can Can shrank into her aunt's arms. What a scary giant uncle!
Wen Shuqiao noticed Can Can's fear, and she also looked at that person, who had already walked up to them.
The system inside Can Can's mind cheered: [Ah! It's Uncle Xingyuan!]
She hugged Can Can tighter warily: "Who are you?"
Gu Xingyuan looked at Wen Shuqiao and, seeing her wary expression, quickly explained, "I am Gu Xingyuan. Don't misunderstand, I am Shen Jiazhou's childhood friend."
Wen Shuqiao remembered that when they entered, a waiter told Shen Jiazhou that President Gu had returned, so the President Gu they were talking about must be the person in front of them, right?
She recalled the contents of the book again. Besides Shen Jiazhou, Shen Shiyue did have several uncles who treated him well. It seemed that the best one among them was named Gu Xingyuan.
Even so, Wen Shuqiao couldn't relax. She simply said, "Mr. Chen went to get the keys and will be down soon."
Gu Xingyuan sighed, "He brought the baby to my territory without even telling me?"
Then he asked, "And you? And who are you?"
“…Hello Mr. Gu.” Wen Shuqiao pursed her lips slightly. “I am Wen Shuqiao.”
"Oh, oh, Wen Shuqiao." Gu Xingyuan's gaze fell on her face, paused slightly, and then his tone suddenly rose: "You're Wen Shuqiao?!"
Wen Shuqiao frowned. The original owner and he had never met before, so why did Gu Xingyuan sound like they knew each other?
Can Can was startled by his loud voice, so she simply closed her eyes and stopped looking.
Terrifying! Terrifying giant uncle!
Uncle! Help!
The system said helplessly, "[This is Uncle Xingyuan, he's very kind.]"
At this moment, Can Can was completely oblivious to what was happening around her.
Wen Shuqiao hugged him tighter, her furrowed brows still furrowed. She said, "You scared him."
Gu Xingyuan then realized what was happening: "I'm so sorry, so sorry. It's all Shen Jiazhou's fault for not letting us see the baby. I'm so sorry."
He was just shocked; he already knew that Can Can's aunt was Wen Shu Qiao.
At the time, the affair between the real and fake heiress of the Su family was a hot topic in the industry, and they naturally got a taste of it. They even saw Wen Shuqiao's photos a couple of times, and they didn't know what the others thought.
Gu Xingyuan had a deep impression of Wen Shuqiao, but when he first saw her, he didn't recognize her at all; their temperaments were too different.
If the previous Wen Shuqiao had the air of a spoiled young lady, the Wen Shuqiao before us is gentle and graceful, and her face is attractive even without heavy makeup.
I must say, this face is really good-looking.
Wen Shuqiao's brows furrowed even deeper. She actually hated it when people stared at her appearance and clothing. It was fine with women, but when men stared at her like that, it just annoyed her.
Can Can quietly opened her eyes and saw her aunt's unhappy face.
Oh my god!!! My aunt was bullied!!!
Can Can was no longer afraid. He sat up from Wen Shuqiao's arms and struggled to get down.
Wen Shuqiao lifted him off her lap: "What's wrong?"
Can Can spread her arms wide, shielding her aunt behind her, and said angrily, "Get away! You bad guy!"
Gu Xingyuan: ?
Gu Xingyuan didn't even bother to look at Wen Shuqiao anymore. He knelt on one knee, pointed to his face, and said, "Baby, I'm Uncle Xingyuan. We've met before."
