Yu Mingxue's call went through. After saying a few words to the person on the other end, she hung up.
Then he turned to Wen Shuqiao and said, "Gu Xingyuan is downstairs. We'll leave after he comes up."
Upon hearing the keyword "walk," Can Can stood up from her small stool, walked over to Wen Shu Qiao, leaned against her, first looked at Yu Ming Xue, and then asked, "Auntie, Auntie, where are we going to play?"
"Uncle Xingyuan said he's going to take you out to play." Wen Shuqiao pinched his cheek. "Shall I get you your red coat?"
Can Can asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to play with me?"
Wen Shuqiao said softly, "Aunt Mingxue and I have something to do. You play with Uncle Xingyuan first, and we'll come find you after we're done, okay?"
not good.
Can Can pouted unhappily, and Wen Shu Qiao pinched his lips: "You're old enough to hang an oil lamp on. Today, you're allowed to have a small piece of cake and a small cup of milk tea."
Can Can was a little tempted, but he still wanted to go with his aunt. He quickly said, "Then I'll go with my aunt to eat a small cake and drink milk tea."
Yu Mingxue couldn't help but chuckle. Wanting both, huh? No wonder he's Wen Zhixia's son; his mind really works fast.
Wen Shuqiao was already used to it and replied gently, "No, you can only drink with Uncle Xingyuan."
Can Can hesitated. The little cakes and milk tea were delicious, sweet and fragrant, but he also wanted to play with his aunt and the pretty aunt.
I'm so conflicted!
Just as he was struggling with this decision, the doorbell rang again.
Wen Shuqiao turned her head and glanced at him, guessing that Gu Xingyuan had arrived. She got up to open the door, but Can Can nestled in her arms and wouldn't move.
“Uncle Xingyuan is here, I’m going to open the door.” Wen Shuqiao patted his back: “It’s so cold outside, Uncle Xingyuan, you’re going to catch a cold if you don’t come in soon.”
Can Can hesitated for a moment before silently moving aside. "Then, let Uncle Xingyuan come in first!"
Wen Shuqiao got up, and Cancan followed behind her with her hands tucked in, seemingly trying to get a satisfactory outcome for him, her little mouth chattering away.
Unfortunately, Auntie's mind was made up, and she wouldn't agree no matter what Can Can said.
Yu Mingxue didn't say a word, but her gaze was fixed on Cancan and Wen Shuqiao. It was clear that Cancan was very dependent on Wen Shuqiao, which meant that Wen Shuqiao was indeed treating Cancan well.
She also got up from the sofa and followed him to the door.
The door was already open, and Gu Xingyuan was standing outside, greeting Cancan.
"Little Bao, do you miss me?"
Can Can nodded: "Yes!"
He just didn't expect that Uncle Xingyuan would show up today, after he had only spoken to him on the phone yesterday.
Wen Shuqiao said, "Come in, I'll go change his clothes."
Gu Xingyuan sighed, "Long time no see, Shu Qiao."
Then he looked at Yu Mingxue behind them, his smile deepening: "Mingxue."
Yu Mingxue rolled her eyes: "Call me 'sister'."
Wen Shuqiao left the two of them alone, took Cancan's hand and went back to the children's room. Following Cancan's idea from early that morning, she picked out a bright red coat for him, making him look like a little lucky doll.
Can Can asked dejectedly, "Auntie, are you really not taking care of the baby?"
Wen Shuqiao knelt down and zipped up his zipper for him: "Your aunt and Aunt Mingxue have something important to do, so it's inconvenient for them to take you this time. I'll take you next time, okay?"
Can Can took small, hesitant steps, then snuggled into her arms, wrapped her arms around her neck, buried her face in her shoulder, and murmured, "Auntie, when are you coming back?"
"I'll be back this afternoon. You and Uncle Xingyuan have fun. If you don't want to play with Uncle Xingyuan anymore, just call your uncle and ask him to come pick you up." Wen Shuqiao picked him up.
To be honest, she rarely carries Can Can around anymore. She weighed him in her hand and found that he was indeed much heavier.
Can Can hummed in agreement: "Okay then, you have to come back soon!"
He raised his head and cupped Wen Shuqiao's face in his hands: "And also, remember to think of me, okay?"
"I know, I'll miss you." Wen Shuqiao also instructed, "You must listen to Uncle Xingyuan, okay? Don't go to dangerous places, and don't accept anything from strangers. Ask Uncle Xingyuan first."
Can Can nodded, indicating that she understood.
Gu Xingyuan was talking to Yu Mingxue when he saw Cancan come out. He chimed in enthusiastically, "Whose red apple doll is this?"
Can Can proudly raised her chin, and Gu Xingyuan said, "Oh, so it's our little Can Can."
Yu Mingxue looked at Gu Xingyuan as if she had seen a ghost, and then saw Gu Xingyuan take Cancan from Wen Shuqiao's arms and put her into his own arms.
He lifted Cancan up a little: "Come on, Little Red Apple, say goodbye to your aunt and Aunt Mingxue, Uncle will take you to play."
Can Can reached out and waved to Wen Shuqiao. Wen Shuqiao walked over and took his little hand: "Bye-bye baby."
Can Can wasn't very happy, but she still nodded.
After saying goodbye to Wen Shuqiao, his gaze fell on Yu Mingxue, and he waved to her as well.
Yu Mingxue had been standing far away, but she still took a step and walked over.
She imitated Wen Shuqiao and took his hand as well.
Can Can looked down and asked, "Aunt Mingxue?"
Yu Mingxue hummed in agreement: "What?"
Can Can took her hand and pulled her closer to her.
Yu Mingxue moved closer, and just as she was about to ask him what he was doing, she felt a heavy kiss on her forehead.
Yu Mingxue: ?
