Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 209 Uncle Si, Are You Lovesick? (2)

"Really?" Gu Can suddenly lifted her head, her big round black eyes widened in surprise, looking at Mi Jing with great joy. Ever since being called a "stupid" by Su Xiaoyan, Gu Can’s self-esteem had taken a huge hit. Although everyone always praised her for being cute and pretty, deep down, she longed for people to praise her intelligence. This was the reason she tried to learn dancing and painting. She wanted to be like her brothers, to have at least one amazing skill that could astonish people.

"Of course it’s true, Auntie never lies to children." Mi Jing reassured her with a smile.

Upon receiving Mi Jing’s affirmation, Gu Can’s eyes brightened up even more. But the next second, she lowered her head and glanced at Kabi lying on the floor, her eyes dimmed as she softly said, "Auntie, I always cause trouble, I’m not a good kid."

Ah?

Cause trouble?

What kind of trouble?

Mi Jing’s mind immediately filled with a big question mark, very puzzled. But seeing Gu Can’s frustrated look, Mi Jing kept her kind smile, gently rubbed Gu Can’s little head, and said, "Causing trouble doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not a good child. Auntie used to cause trouble a lot when she was as young as Cancan."

Hearing Mi Jing say this, Gu Can felt she had found a soulmate, her frustration instantly vanished, and she asked Mi Jing with interest, "Really? Auntie was like Cancan too? Did Auntie get scolded by her mom?"

"Yes, Auntie’s mom was very stern when she was angry. Whenever Auntie did something wrong, she would be punished by being made to stand still!" Thinking of her childhood, Mi Jing’s clearest memory was the scenes of being punished by Fang Qingru standing in the corner.

Suddenly, a cheerful smile appeared on Gu Can’s little face. She immediately leaned close to Mi Jing’s ear and whispered, "Auntie, Cancan’s mom is very fierce when she gets angry too."

Xia Yu is fierce?

Mi Jing paused for a second, thinking the adjective "fierce" didn’t match Xia Yu’s image at all.

"Auntie, don’t you believe Cancan?" Not getting a response from Mi Jing, Gu Can was a bit disappointed, pouting her little mouth.

"No, Auntie thinks that everyone is fierce when they’re angry, Auntie is no exception." Mi Jing said with a smile.

"Yeah, dad is even fiercer when he’s angry, fiercer than mom. But Cancan knows that dad and mom want Cancan and her brothers to be sensible good kids."

Such an adorable and sensible child, who wouldn’t like her?

Mi Jing smiled and looked at Gu Can, her gaze gentle, and said, "Cancan is absolutely right. Auntie also thinks Cancan is definitely a good child."

Receiving Mi Jing’s praise, Gu Can couldn’t hide her joy, her round face beaming with smiles.

"Auntie, Cancan caused trouble just now." Since she was a good child, she should admit her mistakes. Gu Can restrained her smile, looked at Mi Jing, and said very seriously.

"Oh? What happened just now?"

"Cancan spilled the paint, dirtying her clothes and Kabi’s fur."

No wonder the paints in the paint box were all mixed together!

Mi Jing glanced at the paint box on the floor and asked, "How did Cancan’s clothes and Kabi’s fur get cleaned?"

"Big brother washed my clothes, and second brother bathed Kabi and dried his fur with a hairdryer." Gu Can honestly told the whole truth.

She and Xia Yu had only been out for half an hour, and in such a short time, three children managed to handle things so swiftly without leaving any traces. This... is quite impressive!

After a moment of astonishment, Mi Jing reached out to feel Gu Can’s jacket, confirming it was completely dry before feeling relieved.

"Auntie, aren’t you angry?" Gu Can asked.

"No." After saying this, Mi Jing continued with a smile, "Cancan, are you tired sitting here? How about taking Kabi outside to bask in the sun?" Although the sun was shining brightly today, the indoor temperature was still quite cold. Considering Cancan had just gotten her clothes wet, if her resistance was weak, she might catch a cold. So Mi Jing thought, basking in the sun might prevent a cold.

"Sure! Cancan loves Kabi very much." Cancan stood up from the small stool, picked up Kabi lying on the floor, then followed Mi Jing to the open balcony.

The open balcony was quite spacious. Although the weather had been cold recently, the swimming pool was still filled with water because Shen Lingxing habitually swims. Even in the freezing weather, he dives into the water wearing just swimming trunks, his schedule fixed in the morning or evening. Watching him swim not only felt visually pleasing but also made Mi Jing feel cold.

"Cancan, you can play with Kabi here, but don’t go near the swimming pool, okay?" Mi Jing reminded her.

"Okay. Falling into the pool can drown you." Just a few months ago, Gu Can had fallen into a fish pond, so she was well aware of the dangers of water.

"Yes, Cancan is very clever."

Being praised for her intelligence, a shy smile appeared on Gu Can’s little face. She happily stroked Kabi’s head, and Kabi enjoyed her touch by slightly closing his eyes and gently licking her soft hand with his tongue.

"Haha."

Cancan’s bell-like laughter spilled from her mouth, her innocent and pure smile was more comforting than the sunlight shining on the earth at that moment.

Because the kitchen window faced the open balcony, standing in the kitchen, Mi Jing could observe Cancan’s every move. So Mi Jing left Cancan and Kabi on the balcony and turned back inside to continue assisting Xia Yu.

Xia Yu’s cooking skills were quite good. She made a few home-cooked dishes, all of which tasted very nice, especially the cola chicken wings, which almost caused Mi Jing and Gu Can to fight over them. They were simply too delicious!

"Mom, Cancan doesn’t want to go home today. Cancan wants to stay at Aunt’s house for a few days, is that okay?" After lunch, Gu Can sat on the sofa hugging Kabi. Upon hearing Xia Yu mention going home, she immediately made her request.

Doesn’t want to go home?

Xia Yu was slightly stunned, then immediately rejected her daughter’s request, "No." Shen Lingxing and Mi Jing had just gotten married, they were still in their honeymoon period. Cancan staying would only cause trouble for them!

"Why not? Cancan really likes Aunt, and also likes Kabi. If Cancan stayed at Aunt’s house, she would listen to Aunt and Uncle, she definitely wouldn’t cause trouble!" Gu Can really wanted to stay. To get Xia Yu to change her mind, with a plump face, Gu Can eagerly promised.

"Even if you don’t cause trouble and don’t make messes, it’s still not okay!"

In the Gu Family, Gu Can was the most pampered child. It wasn’t that their family favored girls over boys, but because Gu Can was a girl, all the men in the Gu Family, including Gu Yang and Xia Yao, spoiled her. They each regarded her as a precious gem.
