CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 240 FELL INTO THE POOL (2)

Upon hearing this, Gu Can slowly shook her head.

At home, no matter how cold the weather is, she always gets up at six o’clock sharp. Now being able to sleep until past seven is a blissful and satisfying event for Gu Can.

"Let’s get up then, but move quietly, otherwise we’ll wake up Auntie," Xuanxuan whispered, with the demeanor of an older sister.

Gu Can was also happy to listen to Xuanxuan, following her quietly as they climbed out of bed and then went to the bathroom together, brushed their teeth and washed their faces, and then tiptoed downstairs.

"It smells so good!" Halfway down the stairs, Gu Can caught the enticing aroma of food and took a few deep breaths, smiling as she said, "It must be Fourth Uncle making breakfast."

With that, Gu Can quickened her pace downstairs, and Xuanxuan followed her towards the kitchen.

"Good morning, Fourth Uncle."

"Good morning, Uncle."

As soon as they walked into the kitchen, Cancan and Xuanxuan’s voices rang out one after another. Shen Lingxing turned his head at the sound and smiled warmly at them.

"Fourth Uncle, didn’t you sleep well last night? Your eyes are so dark!" Cancan’s sharp eyes noticed the dark circles under Shen Lingxing’s eyes with just a glance.

Eyes are supposed to be dark, right?

Xuanxuan corrected, "It’s dark circles."

"Oh." Gu Can accepted Xuanxuan’s correction, then said, "Fourth Uncle, your dark circles are really dark."

Dark circles are also dark!

Xuanxuan didn’t speak this time, instead, she raised her head and looked at Shen Lingxing with Cancan, both gazing at him intently.

Shen Lingxing, holding a spatula, faced the concerned gaze of the two little girls, and said calmly, "I couldn’t get used to sleeping in the guest room and stayed awake all night."

The next second, Xuanxuan and Cancan blinked simultaneously, then exchanged glances. It was as if a simple look had communicated their thoughts. They both said in unison, "Then we’ll sleep in the guest room tonight."

Suddenly, Shen Lingxing felt a sense of amazement and joy, like hearing celestial music.

If they were willing to sleep in the guest room, he’d be more than happy to accommodate them as long as they wanted.

All of a sudden, Shen Lingxing seemed revitalized, shaking off the lethargy of insomnia, his face brimming with energy and spirit.

When Mi Jing woke up, Shen Lingxing had just finished making breakfast and after freshening up, she walked downstairs to see Xuanxuan and Cancan sitting side by side, their backs straight, exhibiting an indescribable sense of obedience.

Shen Lingxing’s culinary skills had long been recognized by Mi Jing and Cancan, everyone ate the delicious breakfast while chatting and laughing, in a very good mood.

"Auntie, aren’t we going out to play today?" After half an hour in the studio with Mi Jing, Cancan began to envy Xuanxuan playing outside with Kabi and Meng Meng, feeling distracted.

"We can’t go out in the morning, someone will be delivering something to the house soon." Tomorrow night, the jewelry company will host an anniversary gala, Shen Lingxing discussed with Mi Jing to take her along, and both the jewelry and dress were prepared by Shen Lingxing, so someone would deliver them to the house.

"Can I go outside and play with Xuanxuan now?" Cancan couldn’t hold back anymore, honestly expressing her wish.

"Sure." Mi Jing understood Gu Can’s feelings, smiling gently, she said softly, "Go ahead."

"Yay! Auntie is the best." With that, Gu Can kissed Mi Jing on the cheek, then like a bird flying out of a cage, happily ran outside to find Xuanxuan.

Children’s joy is always so simple, just fulfilling a small wish can make them cheer excitedly.

Not long after, a burst of silver bell-like laughter drifted in from outside, the pure joy infecting Mi Jing, bringing her heart peace and tranquility.

Ding dong, ding dong——

The happiness in the house was interrupted by the doorbell, and as it rang out, Xuanxuan and Cancan’s voices followed.

"Auntie, someone’s here."

"I’ll get the door."

The two seemed to have it all planned out, working together, one ran to inform Mi Jing in the studio, while the other went to answer the door.

The visitor was a man carrying several bags, looking at Xuanxuan, he asked politely, "Little girl, are there any adults at home?"

"Yes! Are you looking for my aunt?" Xuanxuan asked.

"... I’m looking for Mrs. Shen." The man didn’t know Xuanxuan, nor did he know who her aunt was. He hesitated, then pulled up the name "Mrs. Shen" from his memory.

"There’s no Mrs. Shen here, Uncle. Did you come to the wrong place? There’s only Mi Jing at home." Hearing the name ’Mrs. Shen’, Xuanxuan thought the man was looking for an old lady and raised a doubt.

Wrong place?

The man stepped back and glanced around, seeing the obvious floor number sign. He became more certain, thinking, "It’s unlikely I’m wrong! There’s only one household on this floor, how could it be the wrong place?"

"Xuanxuan, who’s here?"

As Xuanxuan and the man stared at each other, Mi Jing came out.

"Auntie, this uncle is looking for an old lady. Is there an old lady around here?" Xuanxuan, not realizing her misunderstanding, asked Mi Jing with a puzzled expression.

"Ahem, little girl, you misunderstood me. I’m not looking for an old lady, I’m looking for Mrs. Shen." Without waiting for Mi Jing to answer, the man hurriedly explained.

After hearing this, Mi Jing glanced at the man, seeing the bags he was carrying, she roughly guessed that he was here to deliver items.

"Hello, I’m Mrs. Shen." Mi Jing smiled at the man.

"Hello, these are the items ordered by Mr. Shen, please sign for them." The man placed the bags on the floor and took out a receipt form, handing it to Mi Jing.

Once she signed her name, Mi Jing carried the bags into the house, with Xuanxuan closing the door behind her, still a bit puzzled about why the man called Mi Jing Mrs. Shen and not Miss Mi.

"Auntie, when did you become Mrs. Shen?" That name sounds so old. Xuanxuan asked.

"After marrying your uncle." Mi Jing put the items on the coffee table, smiling as she answered Xuanxuan’s naive question.

"Then is Mama going to be Mrs. Ji in the future?" Xuanxuan asked again.

"Yes, indeed." Mi Jing replied.

How sad, girls have to become old ladies once they get married.

Xuanxuan thought, and later when she learned more, she found her thoughts quite funny. But children are like this, they always have some innocent thoughts, making harmless jokes.

At this moment, nobody could understand Xuanxuan’s thoughts. As Mi Jing placed the bags on the coffee table, Cancan stared at them, studying them for a while, full of hope, she asked, "Auntie, is there anything delicious inside these bags?"
