"Then we'll head back now. We'll come again when we have time."
Before getting on the car, Gu Wancheng stood to the side, holding the gift Wen Shuyu had given her—the painting.
Seeing how reluctant he was to let go, Bo Yizhou patted his hand, took the bag, and helped him put it in the trunk.
" Chengcheng, do you still remember how to make croquettes?" Wen Shuyu smiled and nodded, patting his hand.
"Of course I remember, they'll definitely get to eat the croquettes I made," Gu Wancheng said confidently. Only one night had passed, yet the recipe for croquettes was clearly etched in his mind.
"Then Chaochao should be relieved." As soon as Wen Shuyu speaking, Gu Wancheng looked down and saw Chaochao's relieved expression.
So he reached out and poked Chaochao, making him stumble, and looked at him with feigned sadness, "Don't you trust my memory that much?"
Chaochao lowered her eyelids guiltily, clutching the hem of her clothes with her little hands. "No, I didn't disbelieve you, really."
Gu Wancheng smiled. "Alright, say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma, we're going back now."
Chaochao immediately waved to them, "Goodbye Grandma, goodbye Grandpa, I'll come back to see you when I have time."
Wen Shuyu looked at him tenderly, bent down and tidied his messy hair, "Goodbye, baby."
Bo Ting nodded to them with a gentle expression.
Gu Wancheng felt sorry for them again. After a while, they would not only see Chaochao again, but also take Chaochao with them.
She glanced at her son, who was happily saying goodbye to his grandparents, and said, " Chaochao, let's go."
Chaochao responded and said goodbye to them again, "Okay, bye-bye."
After getting in the car, the driver slowly started the engine. Chaochao leaned against the window, watching the figure behind her gradually shrink until it disappeared from sight.
Seeing his slightly disappointed expression, Gu Wancheng said, "Don't look at me like that. You'll see Grandpa and Grandma soon."
Chaochao looked up. "Really? When will we come again?"
Gu Wancheng glanced at Bo Yizhou and said softly, "Soon."
Chaochao instantly perked up again, squirming excitedly in his seat before leaning on his father's lap. Even the seatbelt couldn't stop him from moving around. "Daddy, can I bring Suisui along?"
Gu Wancheng had no objection, but whether or not to go depended on Suisui; "If Suisui agrees, then it's fine."
"I will try my best to persuade Suisui."
"Then good luck." Gu Wan naturally wouldn't discourage his confidence, and he could also tell that Suisui Sui didn't dislike Chaochao.
Chaochao clenched her fist and nodded vigorously. She took out a few candies from her pocket, filling her small palm with them. Chaochao frowning and hesitating for a moment, she took two candies and handed them to Gu Wancheng.
Gu Wancheng stared blankly at the candy that had suddenly appeared in front of her. "Is it for me?"
"Mmm, this candy is delicious."
Gu Wancheng took the candy, tore off a piece under Chaochao's expectant gaze, and put it in her mouth. The rich and sweet milky flavor instantly filled her mouth, with a faint hint of strawberry.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Wancheng's eyes. "It really is delicious."
Chaochao immediately beamed, revealing a few pearly white teeth, "I spent a long time choosing these candies, of course they're the best."
Gu Wancheng Xiaoxiao gently, " Chaochao has such good taste, you're amazing."
Chaochao was so flattered by his praise that her tail practically wagging in the air, and her eyes narrowed into slits. ( *▽)
Seeing Chaochao reveling in his praise, Gu Wancheng took out her phone and snapped a picture of him. The shutter clicked, but Chaochao didn't react at all.
Gu Wancheng looked down at the photos she had just taken and nudged the person next to her who was looking at a laptop.
Bo Yizhou looked up at him in confusion, Gu Wancheng showed him the photo.
"Well done." Bo Yizhou nodded. At first glance, the photo looked like it was taken when the person was drunk.
Gu Wancheng was happy and moved the photos to an album dedicated to Chaochao. The album was full of photos of Chaochao, including his embarrassing moments, which she could use to blackmail him later.
If they misbehave, show them to Suisui; the little lapdog definitely won't let his embarrassing past appear in front of Suisui.
Chaochao finally came to her senses and remembered Gu Wancheng's praise, so she gave him another one, and the rest were Suisui and his.
Seeing him take out another one, Gu Wancheng casually asked, "How many do you have left?"
Chaochao, however, looked at him warily, clutching her pocket. "I don't have any more."
Feeling a bit like burying one's head in the sand, Gu Wancheng raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't planning on asking you for it anyway."
After saying that, he turned his head Chaochao looked at him suspiciously for a few moments. Only after confirming that he really had no intention of taking the candy did he feel relieved and loosen his grip on his pocket.
Gu Wancheng chuckled when she caught a glimpse of his possessive expression.
Along the way, the tall buildings gradually receded into the distance, and what came into view was a wide asphalt road and neat rows of tall trees on both sides of the road.
Chaochao looked out the window and asked, "Are we home yet?"
Gu Wancheng nodded, "Yes, we're almost there, aren't you excited?"
"Happy, Dad, you must remember how to make croquettes!"
Gu Wancheng raised an eyebrow at him, "You keep telling me to remember, but why don't you remember?"
"I'm still a child, I don't know how to do it."
Gu Wancheng smiled and said, "Then I can teach you. Suisui can make cookies, shouldn't you make Suisui for her yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Chaochao lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then realized he made sense. "Then can you teach me when you get back?"
"Okay." Gu Wancheng nodded immediately.
As the car slowed down, River Moon Bay gradually came into view.
Gu Wancheng said, "We're home."
Chaochao, engrossed in watching the cartoon, immediately looked up, opened the car door, and got out. Gu Wancheng followed her out.
Butler Chen was already waiting at the door. When the car stopped, before he could even open the door for them, Chaochao got out.
Butler Chen could only step forward and smile, "Young Master, Madam, welcome home."
"Grandpa Butler, it's been a long time!"
Butler Chen's smile widened immediately, revealing his teeth in a wide grin. "Young Master, it's been a long time."
"Okay, I'll prepare some croquette ingredients later."
"Okay," Butler Chen replied. Bo Yizhou came down from the other side and stood next to Gu Wancheng. Butler Chen immediately greeted him, "Welcome home, President Bo."
Bo Yizhou nodded slightly and said to them, "Go in."
Gu Wancheng took a couple of steps, then turned back to Butler Chen and said, "Put that box in the trunk into the art studio, be very gentle."
"OK."
Reassured, Gu Wancheng walked in with light steps.
As soon as Chaochao entered the room, he went straight there, and Gu Wancheng followed him.
Upon entering the room, Gu Wancheng first changed into a set of clothes made of softer and more comfortable fabric.
