Looking at the toys being washed and dried in the yard, Shen Yaochu had mixed feelings.
No matter how Gao Yushan deceived her, the housekeepers and servants of the Gao family in California have always been sincerely good to BOBO and CiCi.
These are toys suitable for children over two years old, and there is no need to bring them all the way back to them.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Yaochu suddenly heard some rustling sounds coming from outside the yard behind him.
She turned around subconsciously, but saw no one.
Shen Yaochu didn't think much about it. When he looked up, Gao Yushan walked out.
He still has difficulty moving, and he still has a slight limp when walking.
Gao Yushan's eyes glanced behind Shen Yaochu. Shen Yaochu was about to follow his gaze, but he spoke first.
"Did you find it?" Gao Yushan walked to Shen Yaochu's side: "Did you find anything to take away?"
The two stood side by side, somewhat close.
Shen Yaochu felt uncomfortable. Gao Yushan rarely approached her so carelessly.
She distanced herself silently and shook her head: "I won't take these toys with me anymore. I'll ask you to help me deal with them."
Gao Yushan seemed to have gotten used to her keeping a distance and smiled nonchalantly.
He looked at the clean toys and asked, "Don't you want them all? This is the racing car that BOBO likes, and it can also help pick up the express delivery. This is CiCi's magic wand set. She likes to play with it when she has nothing to do by herself. .You don’t want these…?”
Shen Yao initially replied concisely: "Well, I don't want any more."
Gao Yushan did not insist anymore: "Yes, these things are available in China, and there is no need to bring them back from California."
"Yeah." Shen Yaochu didn't want to say more and stepped around him to go in: "I'll go to the children's room to have a look."
Gao Yushan didn't say anything, but followed Shen Yaochu and walked in with her.
The moment he entered, Gao Yushan's cold eyes glanced at the door again.
This time, Gao Yushan and Gao Yiwei's eyes met, and both of them curled their lips tacitly.

Shen Yaochu walked into the children's room, and the familiar layout made Shen Yaochu feel a little silent.
Gao Yushan followed and started to open cabinets and drawers to help Shen Yaochu tidy up.
Neither of them spoke. In the silent room, the thoughts of Shen Yaochu and Gao Yushan were like a deep ocean, elusive.
They were relatively speechless, and the silence was broken only by the sounds of objects colliding while rummaging and the occasional breeze blowing in from the window.
Gao Yushan took one of CiCi's princess dresses and sat down by the bed.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is the skirt that Ci Bao has been thinking about so much. After returning home, he told me several times that he forgot to bring this skirt."
Gao Yushan smiled and shook his head. There was a smile on his face, but the corners of his eyes and brows were full of reluctance and sadness: "Take this back with you, she likes it very much."
Shen Yaochu deliberately ignored the emotion in his eyes and refused with a cold voice: "No, I took her to the mall later and bought a similar skirt, and she liked it very much."
Gao Yushan's smile froze slightly, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart: "But it is still a replacement after all. She will only remember what she liked at the beginning, right?"
"Of course not." Shen Yaochu knew that he had something else to say, and her voice became more and more impatient: "She will only remember what she should remember. Sometimes, they can understand many things without saying them."
Gao Yushan chuckled twice and did not refute: "But this skirt may be too small. They are growing up and they will grow up in a few days, so it is better not to wear it."
He folded the dress carefully and put it back in the closet.
Gao Yushan stopped what he was doing and whispered: "Actually, the day I bought this dress, I went to the mall with my two children. That day, BOBO accidentally broke his forehead while protecting CiCi. He didn't cry, but instead I hope I won’t tell you so as not to worry you. I know he is brave, but his maturity may not be a good thing for him.”
Gao Yushan raised his eyes to look at her, with a soft tone, chatting about the child's story, his eyes full of tenderness: "He must have noticed a lot and thought a lot, but he won't let you know. Yaochu, don't you think, he In a simpler environment, will you grow happier and become a purer person?"
"He has his own life." Shen Yaochu's voice had an inaudible tremor: "I will find a way to give him the best environment, but one step is wrong and the other is wrong. Now that we have reached this stage, I can only Minimize the harm to them. At least, let them return to the path they should be on."
Seeing Shen Yaochu's dissatisfaction, Gao Yushan collected his breath and said softly: "Yaochu, I just want to talk to you about what happened to the children when they were young, and hope that they can grow up better."
Gao Yushan looked at Shen Yaochu's indifferent face and resisting eyes, and curled his lips in despair: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that these are meaningless things in your eyes. It's me who talks too much."
Shen Yaochu was startled, feeling a little guilty for a moment.
She knew that no matter how many times Gao Yushan lied to her, he had never harmed the child.
On the way of children's growth, Gao Yushan's contribution cannot be ignored by Shen Yaochu.
She pursed her lips, and guilt flashed through her eyes: "That's not what I meant..."
Before Shen Yaochu finished speaking, she felt that the sky suddenly darkened, and almost instantly, a strong wind blew violently.
The wind roared, and the trees swayed in the wind, struggling like crazy.
Shen Yao was startled: "What's going on? Why did there suddenly be a strong wind?"
As soon as Shen Yaochu finished speaking, a huge thunder fell, followed by a steady stream of rain.
The sky was instantly shrouded in gray clouds, as if it had suddenly come to night, and the dim light made everything around it look hazy.
Shen Yaochu was a little nervous. She clenched her hands into fists and was confused for a moment.
It was clear that the sky was clear just now, but why did it suddenly blow with strong winds and rain so heavily without warning?
At this time, a bolt of lightning appeared again between the clouds, roaring and lighting up the whole world.
The rumble of thunder made Shen Yaochu feel frightened.
Shen Yaochu immediately made a decision and stood up: "The weather is bad, there is no need to pack things, no more, I want to go back to the manor immediately."
Gao Yushan frowned and raised his hand to turn on the light in the room.
He looked at the message on his phone and said with a serious face: "You can't leave."
"Why?!" Shen Yaochu looked at him resistingly: "Don't stop me!"
"I'm not stopping you." Gao Yushan said solemnly, "It's a typhoon."
"Typhoon?!" Shen Yaochu was shocked.
