Wen Shuqiao tightened her grip on the water glass, blinking a few times. "It doesn't mean I've never rented a place before... Mr. Shen, you're quite inquisitive tonight."
Shen Jiazhou withdrew his gaze from her: "Let's just chat."
Wen Shuqiao placed the cup on the coffee table: "It's late, President Shen, you should go to sleep early."
Shen Jiazhou watched her get up and walk towards the children's room, a slight smile curving his lips: "Wen Shuqiao."
Wen Shuqiao let out an "ah" and slowly turned around. Although she didn't say anything, Shen Jiazhou could still see a hint of impatience on her unchanging face.
Shen Jiazhou thought to himself, "I can do reading comprehension now too."
Wen Shuqiao looked at him, and seeing that he didn't speak, she finally asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Jiazhou snapped out of his daze and said, "It's nothing, goodnight."
Wen Shuqiao said "Oh" and nodded: "Goodnight to you too."
The children's door opened and closed gently, and the living room became quiet again. He sat alone for a while before getting up, picking up the cup that Wen Shuqiao had used, and heading to the kitchen. He turned on the tap, washed the cup, and hung it on the shelf next to him.
He'd forgotten when he bought the cup, but he'd have two new cups delivered tomorrow. He remembered that the cups Wen Shuqiao used were all very cute.
He walked out of the kitchen and looked around the living room carefully. It felt rather empty, without even a single nice green plant.
Children also need to be around flowers and plants. Tomorrow I'll have the florist downstairs send some flowers up to decorate the place and make it feel more welcoming.
Shen Jiazhou walked step by step toward the master bedroom, but before going in, he couldn't help but glance at the door to the children's room next to it.
Milk and Cake's new home was set up at the entrance of the children's room. They were very well-behaved and didn't make a fuss even in their new environment. Right now, Milk was nestled next to Cake, sleeping soundly.
Shen Jiazhou stared at them for a while before pressing the doorknob and entering his bedroom.

Wen Shuqiao lay back down on the bed and tucked the blanket around Cancan again. Just as she withdrew her arm, Cancan half-opened her eyes and glanced at her groggily, then instinctively rolled into her arms and continued to sleep soundly.
She held Can Can in her arms, gently patted the baby pig's arm, and listened to his breathing, but her thoughts still couldn't help but drift back to the past.
Was Shen Jiazhou trying to trick her into revealing information? But what could he possibly want to get out of her? Could it be that he discovered something?
That shouldn't be the case either.
Wen Shuqiao couldn't understand it.
