Chapter 211: Chapter 211 The Fourth Young Master is Disliked (1)
Looking at his own wife and just giving her a smile counts as being infatuated? free𝑤ebnovel.com
How was he supposed to handle that!
But Gu Can was just a child, he couldn’t explain it to her, because once he did, it would lead to a new round of "a hundred thousand whys" questions. So, under Mi Jing’s amused smile, Shen Lingxing tacitly admitted that he was infatuated!
After eating the meal cooked by Xia Yu, Mi Jing was worried that the food she prepared wouldn’t suit Gu Can’s taste, but it turns out she worried too much.
The dishes were all wiped clean, and both Gu Can and Shen Lingxing were very supportive. In fact, Gu Can’s reaction was even more enthusiastic than Shen Lingxing’s, complimenting Mi Jing’s cooking skills several times during the meal, boosting Mi Jing’s confidence significantly!
"Auntie, let Cancan help with washing the dishes?"
After dinner, Gu Can put down her chopsticks and sat upright at the table. Even a stranger could tell from her posture that she had good manners.
"Cancan is so well-behaved."
After spending an afternoon with Gu Can, Mi Jing found her even more adorable, and hearing her sweet and considerate request, Mi Jing felt a warm feeling in her heart and said with a smile, "Cancan’s thoughtfulness is very nice, but Cancan is still a little girl. Washing dishes is an adult’s job."
"But mom said that children should help with what they can. At home, Cancan helps mom with washing dishes, so I’m very experienced, Auntie, you don’t need to worry," Gu Can looked at Shen Lingxing sitting opposite, with a mischievous smile in her eyes, then turned around, lifting her adorable face and speaking very gently.
Such a cute child, no matter what she said, Mi Jing couldn’t bear to refuse her request, but since the weather was cold and Gu Can was still a child who should be enjoying her playtime, Mi Jing couldn’t bring herself to make her wash dishes.
"Maybe next time, this..."
"No waiting for next time," Gu Can interrupted Mi Jing and then said to Shen Lingxing, "Uncle, you also need to help wash dishes. Auntie is very tired from cooking dinner, and she should rest now."
In the Gu Family, they had plenty of servants, but whenever Xia Yu cooked, Gu Yang and Xia Yao would help with the dishes. To be fair, even though the two brothers were willing to handle the dishwashing, Xia Yu still had Gu Can participate, both to better foster sibling bonds and to prevent them from becoming lazy. So while Gu Can was treasured, she wasn’t overly pampered. She was kind, innocent, and very considerate.
"Auntie isn’t tired, doesn’t need to rest." Gu Can’s series of words made Mi Jing quite touched. Looking at the pretty and obedient Gu Can, Mi Jing was somewhat envious of Xia Yu.
"Even if not tired, you should rest," Gu Can said, pretending to be serious with a little old-fashioned demeanor, making Shen Lingxing chuckle and smile, "Let’s listen to Cancan. You go watch TV, and Cancan and I will handle the dishes." Rarely did the little girl have such a thoughtful idea, as adults, they shouldn’t dampen her enthusiasm.
"Yeah, Auntie, you need to listen to Cancan and Uncle too!" Happily finishing her words, Gu Can quickly jumped off the chair and then said, "I’ll go get the little stool."
Watching Gu Can’s small figure running to the studio, Mi Jing had a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes were filled with a gentle light.
"Cancan is just a little girl, how can you let her wash dishes?" Mi Jing glanced at Shen Lingxing, disapproving of his decision. She thought, after all, Gu Can was a guest, how could they let a guest do housework?
"Good habits should be encouraged, Cancan is very willing to help, so we should respect her wishes." Shen Lingxing said with a smile as he stood up gracefully, then began tidying up the dishes slowly.
"Let me do it."
Shen Lingxing had been busy all day outside, and Mi Jing, who had been idle at home, couldn’t let him do the housework in good conscience. Although they had agreed she would cook and he would wash, sometimes agreements had to adjust to circumstances, and by now, Mi Jing had completely forgotten the agreement.
"Don’t move!" Seeing Mi Jing’s hand reaching for the dishes, Shen Lingxing immediately stopped her and said domineeringly, "Step aside!"
This man was really strange!
Others would wish not to do anything or wouldn’t be willing to do housework at all, but he was different; not only was he willing, he insisted on doing it!
"Uncle, are you ready? Cancan has moved the little stool." Gu Can quickly walked over, her cute voice breaking the brief silence between Mi Jing and Shen Lingxing.
"All done, let’s go." Shen Lingxing turned around with the dishes in his hands and walked towards the kitchen.
The little stool was made of plastic and was brought back by Mi Jing from her parents’ house, usually only used when giving Kabi a bath. Since it was light, Gu Can found it easy to carry and followed Shen Lingxing, like a small, clingy tail.
Clang—
Reaching the sink, Gu Can bent over and placed the stool on the floor, then took off her shoes and stood on it.
As the saying goes, being higher helps you see farther, Gu Can glanced at the kitchen door, not seeing Mi Jing, and then spoke to Shen Lingxing beside her, "Uncle, how did I do just now? Was I great?"
With a gentle look at Gu Can’s proud little face, Shen Lingxing’s smile deepened and he said, "Very good, and very great!"
"Then Uncle must remember to buy Cancan chocolate tomorrow."
Before dinner, Shen Lingxing had already told Gu Can, whether Mi Jing’s cooking was good or not, she should say it was delicious, and if she did well, she would get chocolates. For a foodie, all treats were tempting, and Gu Can wasn’t a picky eater. Although Mi Jing’s cooking wasn’t as good as her mom’s, she wasn’t fussy, so Mi Jing’s average cooking was still acceptable to her, and hence, the usually big appetite of Gu Can wasn’t forced and she ate a lot.
"Sure," Shen Lingxing would never deceive a child and agreed readily.
"And Uncle has to keep it a secret, don’t tell mom that Uncle bought chocolate for Cancan."
Xia Yu never allowed Gu Can to eat too many sweets, but Gu Can had a sweet tooth. When Xia Yu didn’t allow her to eat, she would sneak some, so whenever her uncles or cousins bought her treats, she would ask them to keep it a secret from her mom. She thought as long as they didn’t say anything, her mom wouldn’t find out. But Xia Yu knew everyone often bought Gu Can snacks, which is why she strictly forbade her from having too many sweets.
