To seduce her

The whole day passed, as if luck had fallen from the sky, making Shen Yaochu feel happy.

Every day you live longer means you earn more, Shen Yaochu thought.

As night falls, the sky looks like it has been splashed with thick ink, with stars dotted across it, but they can hardly dispel the darkness all around.

The two little figures looked a little tired under the dim and warm light.

Their eyelids seemed to be weighed down by heavy lead blocks, and they kept rubbing their eyes, which were almost unable to open.

BoBo and CiCi were obviously so sleepy that their eyes could not focus, but they still persisted.

BoBo bit his lower lip tightly, trying not to let sleepiness overcome him, but his eyelids drooped involuntarily. CiCi's eyes were hazy, and her long eyelashes were very heavy.

Their faces were filled with fatigue, yet revealed a stubborn persistence.

Shen Yaochu looked at their sleepy appearance and glanced at the time. It was already nine o'clock.

It was not yet their usual bedtime, but they had come to see Shen Yaochu early this morning and were too excited to take a nap, so of course they were so sleepy that their eyes were blurry.

Shen Yaochu felt a little distressed. She touched BoBo and CiCi's heads and said, "My dears, it's time to go home and sleep!"

Shen Yaochu's voice was full of the tenderness and firmness of a mother's love, but she was afraid that her tone would be too harsh and would make them unhappy.

But BoBo and CiCi’s reactions were indeed huge, with rejection written all over their eyes.

CiCi raised her head and looked at Shen Yaochu with her blurry eyes, and put on a willful expression: "I don't want it, I want to accompany my mother!"

BoBo frowned and looked serious: "Mom, do you want to separate from us?"

BoBo has always been the most empathetic little boy, but at this moment he questioned Shen Yaochu in this way, which shows that he really doesn't want to leave her.

The voices of both children were a little weak because they were too sleepy, but they were full of determination.

Shen Yaochu looked at them with heartache and gently held the two children in his arms.

She whispered to comfort them: "Dear children, it's been late today. You need to go home and rest. We will meet again when the sun rises tomorrow, okay?"

Shen Yaochu promised in a soft voice.

A trace of reluctance flashed in BoBo and CiCi's eyes. CiCi hugged Shen Yaochu's neck tightly and sobbed softly. Bobo tried hard to suppress his emotions, but his eyes were already red.

Shen Yaochu's heart tightened. She gently wiped away the children's tears and said with a smile, "Be good, don't cry. Aunt Li will bring you to the nursing home tomorrow morning. I promise."

"Really? Mom..."

"Of course, Mom won't lie to you." Shen Yaochu kissed their soft cheeks: "Mom doesn't want to be separated from you, but sometimes, separation is for a better goodbye, right?"

Shen Yaochu felt sorry for them, but this was a nursing home after all, and her physical condition meant that she couldn't sleep with them. But if they were asked to sleep in the next room, they would have trouble sleeping because they would be thinking about Shen Yaochu and in a strange environment.

Gao Yuchuan, who was standing by, had been staring at them. Seeing that the two children were so sleepy but still insisted on not leaving, he sighed slowly. How could he not understand their feelings?

Gao Yuchuan walked up to them, touched their heads, and said in a deep voice: "Mom is worried that you won't sleep well at night. If you don't get enough rest, it will affect her recovery. Go home and have a good rest tonight, and Mom will be relieved when you are here. The first thing you do when you wake up tomorrow is to come and see Mom, just like today, how about that?"

After hearing this, BoBo and CiCi were not so persistent. The two children looked at each other with understanding and well-behaved expressions on their faces.

CiCi felt a little disappointed, but still nodded: "Okay, Dad, let's go home..."

"Mom, don't worry about us. We will come to accompany you as soon as we wake up tomorrow." BoBo looked at Shen Yaochu with a firm gaze.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Shen Yaochu hugged them, her eyes slightly red: "Go home obediently, mom will miss you."

"..."

----

Outside the window, the soft moonlight quietly spread across the entire city and sprinkled into the house through the window lattice.

Gao Yuchuan closed the door gently and walked away with the children. The sound of their whispered conversation disappeared at the end of the corridor along with the sound of their footsteps.

Shen Yaochu's gaze lingered on the children for a long time; this was her eternal tenderness and soft spot.

It was not until their figures disappeared from sight that Shen Yaochu lowered her head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the children's jackets still hanging on the hook by the door.

Her heart tightened and she quickly picked up her coat and chased after him.

Shen Yaochu's health had improved a lot, but after chasing for a few steps, he still felt a little tired.

She arrived at the stairs. The corridor was already empty and there was no trace of them.

Shen Yaochu sighed, feeling disappointed, and turned around to return.

As I passed the nurses' station, I heard a whisper.

Shen Yaochu didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but some fragmentary words fell into her ears.

"With his wife's condition, he's probably going to collapse."

"Yes, that's Mr. Gao, who is in charge of the Gao Group. I didn't expect him to be so haggard because of his wife's illness."

Shen Yaochu was slightly stunned. They were discussing her and Gao Yuchuan?

Shen Yaochu stopped involuntarily, and curiosity drove her to move closer quietly.

Knowing about your own condition shouldn't be considered eavesdropping, right?

Shen Yaochu quietly walked a few steps towards the nurses' station. Although the nurses' voices were low, they were unusually clear in the quiet night.

"I heard that his wife's condition is really bad and she's getting weaker and weaker." A nurse whispered.

"Yes, with that indicator, it's really hard to save the patient. If Professor RAY hadn't come, he would probably have died in bed." Another nurse took over.

"Even if she wakes up, she's probably at the end of her strength..." The nurse sighed, her tone full of regret: "What a pity, she's so pretty, so young, and her two children are so cute and well-behaved."

"Yeah, sometimes fate is so unfair."

"Mr. Gao is still very affectionate and has never given up."

"So what? He's a man, and he's also Mr. Gao. I guess he'll still have to look for her after his wife passes away."

"What you said is true. Whether to look for someone after they pass away is another matter. But now he is giving his wife the best treatment and caring about her psychology. He doesn't allow her to be told about her illness and just wants her to pass away peacefully. He has done a great job. It is difficult for ordinary men to do this."

"That's right. Alas, they are such a pitiful family."

Shen Yaochu was stunned: "..."
