To seduce her

surprise……

Shen Yaochu wants to give him a surprise?

Gao Yuchuan pursed his lips and looked at them seriously: "It's okay, Dad will just pretend he knows nothing."

"Really? Then mom should be very happy, right?" BoBo said hesitantly.

"Yes, yes! If Dad pretends not to know, Mom will feel that she gave a good surprise!" CiCi said, the guilt in her eyes flashed away, and then turned into excitement and desire to share: "Dad! We also took a lot of photos with Mom today. They were all taken by Aunt Li. They are so beautiful!"

"Yeah!" BoBo nodded, looking at Gao Yuchuan with bright eyes: "Mom said that she found herself, so she came back."

Gao Yuchuan was shocked: "Is that what she said?"

"Yes." BoBo's voice was filled with a hint of pride: "She said that the self she found was to be the mother of me and Cibao forever and ever."

"..."

As she spoke, CiCi raised the phone watch on her wrist as if she was presenting a treasure, and turned the screen to Gao Yuchuan. Her bright eyes sparkled with anticipation and excitement.

The photo on the screen was a freeze frame of a wonderful afternoon they spent in the park.

In the photo, Shen Yaochu is with Bobo and CiCi, and all three of them have happy smiles on their faces.

The sunlight shines through the treetops, dappling onto them, adding a touch of warmth to this cozy picture.

CiCi's hair was gently blown by the breeze, she leaned in Shen Yaochu's arms, smiling so innocently. BoBo held a colorful balloon in his hand, leaning in Shen Yaochu's arms, with an unconcealed smile on his face, just like a little boy of his age should be when he is happy.

Shen Yaochu was hugging BoBo and CiCi tenderly, her eyes full of love. Her smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and bright.

She was thinner than usual, but looked healthier than when she was terminally ill.

Gao Yuchuan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He couldn't imagine what Shen Yaochu had been through in the past year.

Looking at Shen Yaochu in the photo, whose eyes were full of happiness, Gao Yuchuan finally realized what that fleeting thought was.

Shen Yaochu returned to Lukang, met Su Xiao and the two children, but she avoided him. It was not at all what she told the children.

She didn't want to surprise him, she just... didn't want to see him.

Gao Yuchuan's gaze stayed on Shen Yaochu's fair face for a long time. He couldn't move his eyes away, but he couldn't say a word.

Why didn't Shen Yaochu, who was hiding in the Chinese medicine clinic and refusing to come back, want to see him?

She clearly believed in him before, and she knew they were in love.

How come after just one year, she suddenly started avoiding him again?

A hint of confusion flashed across Gao Yuchuan's eyes, and then more of it became complexity.

Gao Yuchuan pulled the corners of his lips, raised a bitter smile, and asked BoBo and CiCi: "Do you like being with your mother?"

"Of course I like it!" CiCi nodded heavily: "It's a pity that mom wants to give you a surprise, otherwise she could go home with us and continue to stay with us!"

BoBo nodded: "Yes, I hope mom can give you the surprise soon and come back soon."

Gao Yuchuan smiled cooperatively, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He just comforted them: "Yes, Mom will be back soon."

into the night.

Soft lighting filled the entire room, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere, making the expressions on BoBo and CiCi's faces look very relaxed.

The two children were getting ready to take a bath. Gao Yuchuan sat quietly in the room, his eyes following the children's figures gently.

Soon, Aunt Li came out and said, "Cibao, go take a shower first. Auntie has prepared the water for you. You should finish quickly because your brother also needs to take a shower."

"it is good!"

As she spoke, CiCi took off the phone watch on her wrist and hurried into the bathroom to take a shower.

BoBo picked up his phone watch and looked through the photo he took with Shen Yaochu in the afternoon. His eyes, which were almost identical to Gao Yuchuan's, were full of happiness.

Gao Yuchuan watched him quietly from the side, with mixed feelings in his heart that were difficult to distinguish.

At this moment, the phone watch made a slight buzzing sound. BoBo fiddled with the watch, put the phone watch to his ear, and listened carefully. I wonder what message he received.

Suddenly, BoBo pressed the screen of his phone watch and said to the other end: "Mom, my sister is going to take a shower. I will wait for her to finish her shower and then I will take a shower too. After that, we will go to bed. You should also go to bed early today."

Gao Yuchuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately realized that it was Shen Yaochu who sent the message.

Gao Yuchuan walked to BoBo's bed, sat down, and asked in a low voice: "BoBo, who is it?"

BoBo did not answer directly, but handed the watch to Gao Yuchuan. A voice message was displayed on the screen.

Gao Yuchuan took the watch and looked at the message on the screen, feeling mixed emotions.

He pressed the play button, and Shen Yaochu's voice came out clearly.

"Bobao, Cibao, are you asleep? Mommy wants to say good night to you."

Gao Yuchuan's pupils shrank slightly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Even though they haven't seen each other for a year, Shen Yaochu's voice can still capture his heart instantly.

Below Shen Yaochu’s voice message was the voice message that BoBo had just spoken.

Just when Gao Yuchuan wanted to listen to Shen Yaochu's voice message again, Shen Yaochu sent another voice message.

Gao Yuchuan's body stiffened, and he immediately picked up his phone watch, clicked on the newly received voice message, put it to his ear, and listened attentively.

"Sister is going to take a shower. Aren't you bored? Do you need mom to chat with you?"

Gao Yuchuan's throat tightened slightly, and he handed the phone watch to BoBo: "Hurry up, reply to your mother."

BoBo frowned and looked at Gao Yuchuan with some dissatisfaction: "But, Dad, you're the only one who heard it. I haven't heard what Mom said yet. How should I reply?"

"..." Gao Yuchuan realized that he was a little anxious and cleared his throat: "Then you listen first."

Soon, BoBo also replied to Shen Yaochu: "No need, Mom, I..."

Before BoBo could finish his words, Gao Yuchuan snatched the phone watch and retracted BoBo's words in an instant.

Gao Yuchuan said in a deep voice: "If you need it!"

"..." BoBo blinked: "Dad, if you need, you can use your phone to talk to Mom."

"..."
