To seduce her

Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall.

Shen Yaochu, exhausted and confused, like a lonely boat that had lost its direction, slowly walked into the familiar Chinese medicine clinic.

Her footsteps were heavy, and each step seemed to carry an unspeakable burden, and she looked distraught.

The Chinese medicine hall was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace of mind, but at this moment it could not dispel the haze in Shen Yaochu's heart.

Shen Yaochu pushed open the door and a cold breeze blew past, lifting a few strands of hair from her hair.

As soon as she entered the door, Xu Yuzheng came up to her in a hurry, her eyes full of concern and anxiety. She stared at Shen Yaochu, as if trying to find a clue from her face.

Xu Yuzheng frowned slightly, as if she had something important to say.

"Sister Yaochu, you're back?" Xu Yuzheng asked tentatively, with a hint of hesitation and nervousness in her voice: "Did you...did you find anything wrong?"

Shen Yaochu came back to his senses, raised his head, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

She shook her head, her voice hoarse and a little confused: "No, what's wrong?"

Xu Yuzheng felt even more conflicted when she saw Shen Yaochu's tired and haggard appearance.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.

Xu Yuzheng's brows were furrowed, and a trace of struggle and hesitation flashed in her eyes.

She looked around and made sure there was no one else around before she moved closer to Shen Yaochu.

Xu Yuzheng swallowed and finally seemed to have made up her mind.

She took a deep breath, finally mustered up the courage, and said in a trembling voice: "Actually...actually I have something I want to tell you, but I'm afraid..."

Shen Yaochu looked at Xu Yuzheng's conflicted expression and felt uneasy.

"What's wrong? Tell me, Xiao Zheng."

Xu Yuzheng looked at Shen Yaochu cautiously and spoke slowly: "Master didn't let me say it, but something happened today and I feel like I have to say it... Before, a man came to see you."

Shen Yaochu was startled, her pupils slightly contracted, and her body stiffened in an instant, as if frozen in that moment, not even daring to breathe heavily.

Xu Yuzheng continued, her voice a little cautious: "He said he was here to see his wife, and the person he was talking about... is you, right?"

Every word Xu Yuzheng uttered was like a heavy hammer hitting Shen Yaochu's heart, making it impossible for her to avoid or deny it.

Shen Yaochu didn't say anything, her lips were tightly pursed into a line, and her eyes flickered.

Shen Yaochu actually knew that Gao Yuchuan would find her one day.

Since he has found Lidya Su, he will always be able to find the Chinese medicine hall.

But she didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

"Yes, he is me..." Shen Yaochu choked up and didn't know how to address him.

She didn't want to admit that Gao Yuchuan, who she found her next partner so quickly, was her husband, but since they hadn't divorced yet, he couldn't be considered her ex-husband.

Shen Yaochu pondered for a while, she pursed her lips and frowned: "He is the father of my child."

"So you don't want him to find you, right?" Xu Yuzheng sighed, as if she had done something wrong, and looked at Shen Yaochu guiltily: "The last time he came, Master was here, and we did a good job of hiding it for you. Later, when he was investigating in the alley, he didn't even come into our store when he passed by."

Xu Yuzheng scratched her head, a little confused: "But I don't know why he suddenly came here to test me today, as if he was instructed by some expert. I didn't react immediately, and I might have exposed the fact that you live here. I called you, but you didn't answer..."

Shen Yaochu opened his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he just let out a faint sigh.

Xu Yuzheng looked at Shen Yaochu and said softly, "Sister Yaochu, are you...are you okay? If you need me, I can think of a way to see if I can handle it."

"I'm sorry, I was playing with the kids, so I didn't receive your call." Shen Yaochu slowly exhaled, shook his head gently, and whispered: "No, thank you. I will handle it myself."

Shen Yaochu knew that no matter what Xu Yuzheng said, Gao Yuchuan was not someone who would easily trust others.

She can hide it for a while, but not forever.

Besides, Lidya Su was right. It was not her fault in the first place, and she was not the one who should have escaped.

But I didn't expect that Gao Yuchuan already had a new girlfriend, but he was still searching for her in such a thorough manner.

For what? To get her to go back and sign the divorce papers so they could be together openly?

*****

----

When Gao Yuchuan heard the children confirm that the toys were all bought by Shen Yaochu, his expression instantly became complicated.

His eyes moved back and forth between the children and the pile of toys, trying to find a clue that could explain it all.

Gao Yuchuan's deep pupils suddenly shrank, as if he was trying to process this sudden information.

But his violently beating heart told him that it was too tiring to handle all this.

BoBo and CiCi's faces showed obvious regret and guilt for having made a mistake, which made Gao Yuchuan even more confused.

The two children have been trying to find Shen Yaochu for the past year, but why did they show such expressions after finding their mother and playing with her for a whole afternoon?

Gao Yuchuan took a deep breath, squatted down, and tried to make his tone sound calm: "Can you tell me, did you really see your mother?"

BoBo and CiCi looked at each other, as if confirming whether they could say it.

"You have to tell the truth to Dad." Gao Yuchuan's voice was trembling slightly: "You know, Dad misses Mom very much too."

"Yeah..." BoBo nodded and admitted, "We met Mom this afternoon and had dinner with her."

Gao Yuchuan regained his composure and tried his best to control himself, but he was still a little anxious: "What else did you do? Huh?"

CiCi, who is always lively, said in a tone of admitting her mistake: "We also went to the park. After the park, mom took us to the mall and bought these toys."

Gao Yuchuan's eyes darkened slightly, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Shen Yaochu really came back, lived in the Chinese medicine hall, and came out to see the children.

But... only, I didn’t see him?

Something flashed through Gao Yuchuan's mind, but it disappeared in a flash, leaving him no time to catch it.

"Dad, will you blame us?" BoBo looked at Gao Yuchuan with some concern: "I didn't mean it. You can blame me, but don't blame my sister..."

He is the elder brother, so let him bear all the mistakes.

Gao Yuchuan: "Blame? Why would Dad blame you?"

CiCi pouted: "Because... we ruined the surprise that mom gave you...
