To seduce her

Gao Yuchuan was startled.

Dr. Xu's words were like a gust of wind, instantly blowing away the gloom and defense in Gao Yuchuan's heart.

He realized how unnecessary his previous defense was and nodded slightly: "Sorry, I misunderstood, thank you."

Gao Yuchuan's voice was slightly deep, filled with trepidation and a little uneasiness.

The old man seemed somewhat dissatisfied with him.

Dr. Xu's expression became slightly more satisfied. He glanced at Gao Yuchuan and said, "It's good that you know it clearly."

Shen Yaochu looked at Dr. Xu's expression and felt a little puzzled.

Dr. Xu, who has always been a bit stubborn, does have a slightly different attitude toward Gao Yuchuan than toward other people.

As Shen Yaochu was thinking, Gao Yuchuan leaned forward and took the bag and suitcase from Dr. Xu: "Are you going to the Chinese medicine clinic?"

Gao Yuchuan paused, his eyes dark, "Are you here to take her away this time?"

Doctor Xu suddenly looked at Gao Yuchuan with interest: "What if I say I want to take her away?"

"I'm sorry." Gao Yuchuan clutched the suitcase tightly: "I won't let you take her away."

BoBo and CiCi also became nervous because of Dr. Xu's words: "Grandpa! Don't take my mom away!!"

Dr. Xu looked at the two children and his expression softened instantly: "Be good, kids. I won't take her away. I'll just piss off your dad!"

BoBo frowned: "Why are you angry with Dad?"

"Because... because he was disobedient." Dr. Xu touched the two children's heads and said, "Don't worry, mom worked so hard to cure her illness just to come back and be with you. She won't leave again."

Hearing what Dr. Xu said, the light in Bobo and CiCi's eyes instantly lit up and brilliant smiles bloomed on their faces, as if all their worries disappeared at this moment.

"That's great!" CiCi hugged Shen Yaochu: "Mom, we will be together forever and ever!"

BoBo looked at Dr. Xu, still with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, but more of anticipation: "Really, Grandpa? You didn't lie to us, did you?"

Dr. Xu smiled and nodded, his eyes full of encouragement and comfort: "I never lie to anyone."

"Let's go." Gao Yuchuan's originally tense tone became a little relaxed at this moment: "You must be tired after sitting all the way, let's go back to the Chinese medicine clinic."

Gao Yuchuan turned around and looked at BoBo and CiCi, "Dad is going to get the luggage, you hold mom's hand."

“Okay!” CiCi nodded, looking serious: “My brother and I will hold the baby tightly and won’t let mom run away again!”

"..." Shen Yaochu was a little helpless: "Mom won't run."

"..."

----

Back at the Chinese medicine clinic, Dr. Xu dragged the luggage into the room and Shen Yaochu hurriedly followed.

"Master, you brought a lot of medicinal herbs, right? Let me help you pack them."

"Okay, they're all in the box." Dr. Xu pointed to the suitcase beside him and said, "I've already sorted them. Just put them in the Chinese medicine cabinet according to the category."

"it is good."

Shen Yaochu squatted in front of the suitcase and opened it. It was filled with various medicinal herbs, exuding a faint herbal fragrance mixed with a barely perceptible medicinal scent, which filled the entire room.

Shen Yaochu carefully sorted these precious medicinal herbs, handling each one with care, as if he were treating a piece of art.

Shen Yaochu kept moving his hands, hesitated for a moment, and finally broke the silence: "Master, are you in a bad mood today?"

"Hmm?" Dr. Xu was packing his bag and looked at Shen Yaochu with some confusion: "Why do you say that? I'm in a good mood today. I saw you and Old Huang again."

"You are usually quite kind to strangers." Shen Yaochu stopped talking and didn't say anything else.

Dr. Xu was famous for his strange temper, but his strange temper was only when he treated patients. When dealing with people, he was always patient and kind.

Hearing this, Dr. Xu finally understood what Shen Yaochu meant, and his expression instantly turned stern: "Are you unhappy that I was being sarcastic to him today?"

"I didn't." Shen Yaochu explained: "I just think it's a little strange that you seem to be quite dissatisfied with him."

Dr. Xu snorted coldly: "Of course he is not a stranger. You have been with me for so long, and you want to come back to see your husband and children every day. How can I be a stranger to him?"

"..."

"But you've been back in Lukang for so long, and you're still living in the Chinese medicine hall. That means there's something wrong." Dr. Xu sneered, with both disdain and deep disappointment in his smile: "If he hasn't done anything unforgivable, why are you so reluctant to go back?"

"Yaochu, you have always been a sensible child. If you were not forced into a desperate situation, why would you choose to escape?" Dr. Xu's expression was a little serious: "In order to avoid him, you can't even see your child every day. You must be very uncomfortable, right?"

Dr. Xu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the air and also piercing Shen Yaochu's heart.

She lowered her head, avoiding Dr. Xu's sharp gaze, feeling mixed emotions.

She understood that although Dr. Xu's words were harsh, hidden behind them was his concern and worry for her.

Shen Yaochu thought about it, slowly took out all the herbs in the suitcase, and explained to Dr. Xu: "What happened between us cannot be explained in a few words. If I simply hated him, I might not avoid him like this."

If she just hated him, she could have just revealed her cards and used Xia Yizhuo to force him to divorce her, give her the custody of Bobo and CiCi, and let her run away with the two children.

After all, Gao Yuchuan was the party at fault, and he has never been a person who denies or is irresponsible, so custody can definitely be negotiated.

But Gao Yuchuan loved his child so much and raised him very well.

Not only that, she could also feel Gao Yuchuan's extremely strong love for her. She even found excuses for him out of love, thinking that he was looking for Xia Yizhu to ease the fatal pain of losing her.

So she didn't even know how to file for divorce, let alone ask her directly for custody of the children.

She felt that BoBo and CiCi would blame her, and she didn't want to go to that step.

Shen Yaochu lowered her eyes: "I still need some time to sort out my thoughts and think about how to deal with our relationship."

Dr. Xu exhaled slowly and looked at Shen Yaochu with some pity: "Child, will you reconcile with him for the sake of the child in the future?"

Shen Yaochu's body froze, and for a moment he was a little dazed: "What should I... do?"

"Of course, follow your heart." Dr. Xu looked at her intently and said, "To be happier, just close your eyes and follow that path. No matter what you choose, you will feel happy."
