CHAPTER 215: CHAPTER 215: THE DOMINEERING FOUR YOUNG MASTERS (1)

After sleeping until daybreak, Mi Jing woke up to find that Shen Lingxing was no longer there, while Gu Can was still sleeping soundly beside her.

She got out of bed quietly, and after washing up, Mi Jing had just gone downstairs when she smelled a tantalizing aroma of food.

Mrs. Xu had already taken leave to return to her hometown yesterday, so the person making breakfast could only be Shen Lingxing.

"Up this early today?" Hearing the footsteps, Shen Lingxing turned his head to look.

It was already almost eight o’clock, which was not early by any means, but Mi Jing liked to sleep in, so this was indeed early for her!

"I was planning to get up to make breakfast, but didn’t expect someone to be even earlier." Mi Jing walked over to Shen Lingxing, looked at the steaming eggs on the plate, and took a few deep breaths. The fragrant smell instantly awakened her appetite.

"Breakfast is almost ready, go wake up Cancan." Seeing Mi Jing looking almost drooling, Shen Lingxing’s dark eyes immediately filled with amusement, curling his lips into a smile as he spoke.

"Let her sleep a bit more, I’ll heat it up for her later." Mi Jing understood the frustration of having a good dream interrupted, so she was reluctant to be the "bad person"!

"Sandwiches are best eaten hot; if we don’t wake up Cancan soon, she’ll cry." Shen Lingxing remembered this from eating at the Gu Family house and hearing Xia Yu mention it, finding it quite funny and thus remembering it well.

Haha, she really is a thorough foodie!

When Mi Jing went upstairs, Gu Can was already groggily getting out of bed. Upon seeing Mi Jing, her adorable, chubby face immediately lit up with a smile, "Auntie, did you make breakfast? Cancan seems to smell egg scent."

Uh!

What kind of nose does she have?

Kabi’s nose isn’t this sensitive!

Mi Jing was surprised, and her view of Gu Can changed, thinking this child was really extraordinary!

"Did Cancan have another dream?" Not getting a reply from Mi Jing, Gu Can disappointedly leaned back and lay down on the bed, losing the energy she had just now!

"Haha..."

Seeing this, Mi Jing couldn’t help but laugh, genuinely finding Gu Can extremely cute! Such an adorable display was truly endearing!

"It’s not a dream, your fourth uncle made sandwiches and asked Auntie to wake you up." Mi Jing walked to the bedside and looked at Gu Can with a smile.

"Wow! Fourth uncle can make sandwiches too! He’s as good as second uncle! Second uncle’s sandwiches are very delicious, Cancan can eat three!" Gu Can immediately climbed out of bed, her big black eyes shining brightly at Mi Jing, asking, "Auntie, are fourth uncle’s sandwiches tasty?"

"Delicious. Really delicious, Auntie smelled them and wanted to drool!"

"Then ask fourth uncle to make more, Cancan wants to eat a few more!" Gu Can’s smile at this moment was as bright as the summer sun, so excited!

Changing clothes, washing her face, these tasks Gu Can didn’t need Mi Jing’s help at all, working swiftly and meticulously like a well-trained little soldier.

"Auntie, let’s go downstairs."

Gu Can was the first to walk out of the bathroom, Mi Jing hanging the small towel back on the rack, waiting for her to come out. Gu Can moved her short legs eagerly and grabbed Mi Jing’s hand.

"Cancan, how old were you when you started changing clothes and brushing your teeth and washing your face by yourself?" Mi Jing asked curiously while holding Gu Can’s hand and heading downstairs.

"Three and a half." Gu Can answered obediently and then added, "Auntie, can Cancan stay here for a few more days? Staying at home during holidays isn’t fun at all; every day I have to get up at six o’clock to run, and it’s exhausting and hungry before I can eat breakfast!"

Getting up at six to run?

No wonder Cancan is so independent and disciplined, their family must manage in a militaristic style!

Oh my!

How pitiful!

Getting up early to run in such cold weather, just thinking about it made Mi Jing’s heart tremble!

"Of course, you can! Cancan can stay as long as she wants!"

"Cancan knew Auntie would let her stay, Auntie is so good, she’s pretty and kind!"

"Haha."

Being praised by Gu Can this way made Mi Jing laugh heartily! The tall and the small went downstairs happily, totally ignoring Shen Lingxing’s thoughts and feelings.

"Fourth Uncle!"

Shen Lingxing came out of the kitchen with sandwiches and milk; Gu Can’s eyes immediately brightened, mixed with gleeful smiles, and she called out to Shen Lingxing in a crisp and melodious voice.

"Come sit." Shen Lingxing placed the tray on the dining table, his warm smile like a spring breeze.

However, before Shen Lingxing could finish speaking, Gu Can had already quickened her pace with Mi Jing and agilely climbed up the chair.

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle."

Watching Shen Lingxing push the plate with sandwiches in front of her, Gu Can smiled sweetly and thanked him joyfully.

With Gu Can around, the atmosphere at home became much livelier. After eating three sandwiches and a cup of milk, Gu Can’s little belly puffed up, and she sat on the chair, not wanting to move.

"Fourth Uncle, take your time finding the dog you want to give Cancan, because Cancan has agreed with Auntie to stay a few more days."

Stay a few more days?

Won’t that mean he has to sneak up to his own bed, and his wife can’t be touched even when close?

"Cancan wants to stay a few more days?" Shen Lingxing kept his thoughts to himself and asked calmly.

"Cancan wants to stay until New Year’s Eve, Fourth Uncle, will you dislike Cancan staying here for that long?" Because during New Year’s Eve days, there’s no need to get up to run.

"Of course not. Fourth Uncle likes Cancan the most." Shen Lingxing smiled kindly, but inside he thought, I agree, but your mom might not!

Mi Jing listening to their conversation also smiled, thinking Shen Lingxing must really love Gu Can deeply, not seeing through that Shen Lingxing’s kindness was just a façade to fool them!

With the New Year approaching, preparing for the annual commodities was essential. Since Mi Jing’s parents were out traveling, Mi Jing had to help prepare for their share as well, so after resting for an hour post-breakfast, she took Gu Can out.

Since the places they visited mostly sold food, Gu Can was especially excited, accompanying Mi Jing for a long time without complaining, instead getting increasingly excited, showing incredible stamina.

On the way home, they passed by "Provence". Remembering the delicious French desserts there, Mi Jing parked the car without hesitation and took Gu Can inside.

"Auntie, Cancan wants to eat more; can you get another serving for Cancan?" After eating a souffle, Gu Can’s craving was entirely stimulated, licking her lips and pleadingly asking.
