With both purchases and giveaways, the items were almost sold out by 1 p.m. After slowly cleaning everything up, it was already 2:30 p.m.
Wen Shuqiao paid Yu Qin her wages and made an appointment to have dinner with her another day. Then, she took Can Can, who had just woken up, and walked towards the elevator.
Can Can was still a little dazed. This was the first time he had stayed in the cafeteria so late. He couldn't resist and fell asleep on his small table.
He looked up at his aunt, still a little sleepy: "Auntie, can you hug me? I want to sleep."
Wen Shuqiao pressed the elevator button: "No, I won't carry you. We're going to your uncle's place soon. You can play in your uncle's office this afternoon, and then you can go home with him."
This was agreed upon from the beginning. Although Can Can also wanted to go out with her aunt, she finally nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie, I will listen to Uncle."
The system snorted: "[A tagalong.]" It didn't even want to say it.
Can Can ignored the system. He held his aunt's hand tightly in frustration and asked, "Auntie, can I have peach-flavored milk tea today? Uncle hasn't had it yet. I want to treat him to some, and then I can have a sip myself."
Wen Shuqiao wondered to herself, "Was that a bite?"
She said, "You had some cakes and milk tea over the weekend."
Can Can was shocked. How did her aunt know? He didn't say anything! Could it be that Uncle Xingyuan told on her? How could Uncle Xingyuan do this! Telling on Xiao Bao!
Wen Shuqiao pressed the number keys, not noticing that Cancan was angry. When she looked down again, Cancan had already come up with a reason: "Then, then I'll buy it for Uncle. If Uncle can't finish it, can I drink it?"
He wanted to drink it secretly, but his uncle would definitely tell his aunt, and his aunt would be angry if she found out, so he might as well be honest.
Wen Shuqiao sighed helplessly, determined to actually drink the milk tea today before she was satisfied: "Okay."
She'll text Shen Jiazhou later and leave a little bit of milk tea for this gluttonous brat, otherwise he definitely won't be able to sleep tonight.
Can Can was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you to come back in Uncle's office, Auntie! Come back soon!"
Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek: "Are you happy?"
Can Can covered her mouth with her other hand: "No."
He wasn't happy at all!
The system chuckled twice: [Put your hand down before you speak.]
Can Can scoffed, "Who cares about you!"

Shen Jiazhou had just finished a meeting, and as he had guessed, after speaking with Old Master Shen, almost everyone he had previously kicked out had returned, even his cousin-in-law, whose face was still swollen.
He leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the computer screen. Wen Shuqiao said she was going to look at houses this afternoon? Why hasn't she brought Can Can up yet? Could it be that she's not going to look at them? Oh well, anyway, her house can accommodate so many people, and it's very safe.
His thoughts had barely settled when there was a knock on his office door. He snapped out of it and said, "Come in."
The door opened, and Can Can jumped in first: "Good afternoon, Uncle!"
Shen Jiazhou: "..."
He got up from his chair and walked over. Can Can had already run over and hugged his leg, then looked up and asked, "Uncle, did you miss me?"
Shen Jiazhou picked him up and asked, "Have you missed me?"
Can Can gave him a look, as if to say that he knew the answer already, but she still obediently replied, "Of course I miss you."
"I miss you too," Shen Jiazhou said softly.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Shuqiao, who had just walked over, and asked, "Why are you so late today?"
Wen Shuqiao said, "I'll tell you when I get home. My appointment with the agent is coming up soon, and Cancan wants to treat you to milk tea. Can you order one for him and let him try it?"
Shen Jiazhou nodded: "I understand. When will you be finished with your work?"
Wen Shuqiao booked two rooms today. She said, "Maybe around five o'clock? It's not far from your place. I'll go back by myself later."
"Send me your location when you arrive." Shen Jiazhou thought for a moment and then asked, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
Wen Shuqiao said, "Anything is fine, you can arrange it. I'll be going now."
Can Can waved her hand: "Auntie, come back soon!"
Wen Shuqiao nodded: "See you when I get home."
Can Can hummed twice: "See you when we get home, Auntie!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at his uncle, and Shen Jiazhou then said, "...See you when we get home."
Wen Shuqiao left without any hesitation. Can Can pouted and said, "Auntie left so fast."
They didn't even look back at the baby every few steps.
The system scoffed: "[So you're acting in a melodrama now, huh? So much drama every day! You should become a movie star!]"
Can Can pouted, looking unhappy.
Shen Jiazhou also said, "Yes, we walked a bit too fast."
As he spoke, he picked up Can Can and sat back down in his office chair. Can Can sat on his lap and nestled in his arms: "Uncle, let me treat you to milk tea."
Shen Jiazhou took out his phone: "Please click."
Thanks to Cancan, he finally downloaded the food delivery app that had been gathering dust for a long time.
Can Can said, "I want peach flavor. My aunt drank peach flavor the other day, and it was so delicious."
Shen Jiazhou searched for a bit and showed it to him: "Is this it?"
Can Can tried hard to recall: "It's this one."
He then pulled out a twenty-yuan note from his coat pocket. He had borrowed the money from his aunt because he had forgotten to bring any money with him that day.
He gave the money to Shen Jiazhou: "Uncle, here's some money for you, make sure you keep it safe! Don't lose it."
