Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 212 The Fourth Young Master is Disliked (2)

"No problem." Everyone knew Xia Yu was very strict with Gu Can. If they told Xia Yu, it would be like walking into the lion’s den, so Shen Lingxing would never make such a foolish decision!

There was chocolate to eat, and mom wouldn’t find out! Gu Can was relieved and happy, immediately rolling up her sleeves and grabbing the dishcloth hanging on the side. She said energetically, "Fourth Uncle, let’s begin."

"Wait a minute, Fourth Uncle will get some hot water." Shen Lingxing also cherished Gu Can. The tap water was too cold, and he didn’t want to see Gu Can’s delicate little hands turn red from the cold.

"No hot water needed, Cancan isn’t afraid of the cold," Gu Can said boldly, embodying the image of a little tough girl.

"Fourth Uncle is afraid of the cold."

"Oh." So, Fourth Uncle isn’t as tough as Cancan! Thinking this, Gu Can felt a bit smug. In one day, she had gained a lot of confidence from both Mi Jing and Shen Lingxing.

At home, her two older brothers were always better than her at everything. At Second Uncle’s house, Fangfang and Yanyan were also smarter. Compared to them, it seemed like her only strength was eating. Although Gu Can didn’t really mind that she wasn’t as smart as her brothers and sisters, there were always moments of disappointment and frustration. Thus, Mi Jing’s praise and Shen Lingxing’s gentle way of talking both comforted Gu Can’s little heart to some extent.

"Fourth Uncle, you can’t be lazy, you have to wash the dishes thoroughly." Gu Can’s little hands were soaking in warm water, scrubbing the foamy residue on the dish randomly while mumbling.

"Okay." Shen Lingxing was very patient with Gu Can. Even with mundane questions, he responded patiently.

In the kitchen, the adult and child washed dishes together while chatting idly with no particular topic. Mi Jing stood at the kitchen doorway, gazing at them warmly, her heart swelling with joy as she dreamed of the future.

She wondered if it was time to consider having children. If she had a daughter as well-behaved, understanding, and adorable as Gu Can, and a son as smart as Gu Yang or Xia Yao, life would be even better. Moreover, moments like this with a big and small pair doing something together would be common in the coming years.

"Auntie, do you daydream too?" Gu Can looked up and saw Mi Jing smilingly watching her and Fourth Uncle, so she asked innocently.

Upon hearing this, Mi Jing immediately felt awkward. If she didn’t explain to Gu Can, would Gu Can go back to her home and tell her family that both Fourth Uncle and Aunt loved to daydream?

Thinking of this, Mi Jing felt the need to explain, so she smiled and said to Gu Can, "Auntie is happy, that’s why I’m smiling, not daydreaming."

"Oh." Gu Can dragged out the sound, half-understanding, then asked, "So Auntie is happy seeing me and Fourth Uncle together, right?"

"Yes."

"Hehe, then Auntie must really like Cancan and Fourth Uncle a lot," Gu Can said with a bright smile.

"Yes, really like both."

"Fourth Uncle, did you hear that? Auntie said she really likes you, so you definitely can’t like other women!" Gu Can stopped what she was doing and looked at Shen Lingxing’s profile seriously, imitating the tone and mannerism of Xia Yu perfectly.

Other women?

Does this child know too much?

Shen Lingxing raised his eyebrow, smiling lightly, and said, "I heard, Fourth Uncle listens to Cancan."

"Auntie, Fourth Uncle just promised Cancan that he won’t be like Fifth Uncle, always switching girlfriends." Gu Can couldn’t clearly distinguish between girlfriend and wife yet. She knew about Chu Chen constantly changing girlfriends because he had taken her out several times, and each time, the woman she saw was different. For this reason, Gu Can despised Chu Chen a little. Unlike her dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle, Chu Chen was the exception who mingled with many women. Moreover, she didn’t like the few ’aunties’ she had met—they were chirpy and annoying.

However, Gu Can didn’t realize that just because she said she didn’t like them, Chu Chen had ditched the ’girlfriends’ who had barely spent a day with him.

Gu Can was like a bundle of joy. Her words always made Mi Jing smile, and after hearing her conversation with Shen Lingxing, Mi Jing’s laughter intensified.

After leaving the kitchen, Gu Can hugged Kabi and went out to the balcony. The night wind was strong and the temperature cold, so Mi Jing was worried Gu Can might catch a chill. She advised Gu Can to come inside, but Gu Can said she wasn’t cold and insisted on playing on the balcony. Mi Jing had no choice but to stay outside with her, as there was a pool nearby and she couldn’t relax without watching over her.

"Cancan, it’s cold outside, come inside to play." A while later, Shen Lingxing came out. His tone and demeanor had shifted from the previous gentle to slightly authoritative.

"Cancan doesn’t feel cold." Kabi was rolling on the ground while Gu Can played with him, without looking up at Shen Lingxing.

"Your aunt feels cold." Shen Lingxing moved to Mi Jing’s side, who was shivering slightly, and pulled her into his arms, speaking in a deep voice.

"Ah?" Gu Can raised her head confusedly. Under the light, she noticed Mi Jing’s lips were no longer bright red but rather purple.

Seeing this, Gu Can immediately picked up Kabi and walked inside obediently.

"I think it’s fine, not too cold. You should be nicer to Cancan!" Mi Jing glared at Shen Lingxing.

"Is it wrong for me to be concerned about you?" Shen Lingxing asked coolly.

"You know that’s not what I meant." Mi Jing glanced at Gu Can’s small figure, speaking exasperatedly.

"Cancan won’t throw a tantrum easily, rest assured."

She left quietly, how could one not worry?

"I’ll go check on her."

With that, Mi Jing also walked away. Watching her back, Shen Lingxing sighed, thinking if they had children in the future, would he feel even more neglected?

"Auntie, I’m sorry, it’s Cancan’s fault for not realizing you were cold." Mi Jing walked inside and saw Gu Can apologizing with her head down. Instantly, Mi Jing’s heart warmed, and she felt Gu Can was like a little angel spreading warmth.

"Cancan did nothing wrong, you don’t need to apologize. Besides, Auntie wasn’t cold; it was your Fourth Uncle who was too... too..." Too what? Mi Jing tried to find simple, understandable words, but she drew a blank.

"Great-grandfather said when people are cold, their lips turn purple." Gu Can knew Mi Jing was comforting her, so she didn’t think Mi Jing was lying. Although she wasn’t as smart as her brothers, Great-grandfather had told them many war stories, and while there were many things she didn’t fully understand, she remembered a lot of the content. As a result, Gu Can knew more than many kids her age. freёnovelkiss-com
