"Figured out?"
Gao Yuchuan's tone was steady and deep, as if coming from the abyss, without any warmth. Every word he spoke was like dropping a stone into a frozen river, calm and cold.
Shen Yaochu paused slightly while eating, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly: "Yes."
She used her chopsticks to fiddle with the rice in front of her, but it was tasteless.
Gao Yuchuan looked at her coldly, his eyes firm, staring at her intently.
His eyes were deep, as if he was silently forcing her to eat.
Although the oily smell made Shen Yao initially feel uncomfortable, even though her stomach was already screaming in protest. But under Gao Yuchuan's gaze, she had to continue to bite the bullet and swallow hard.
It wasn't until he watched Shen Yaochu eat less than half the bowl of rice in front of him in one mouthful that Gao Yuchuan's eyes, as cold as ice, melted slightly.
"In this way, you will obey my arrangements."
Shen Yaochu heard the satisfaction in his words and saw the vague tenderness in his eyes, but she only felt desolate.
Shen Yaochu nodded perfunctorily: "I will."
Gao Yuchuan raised his head and gently stroked her head twice, as if to confirm her behavior.
Shen Yaochu froze, but resisted the movement of avoiding.
Aunt Li is right, she is no longer the person who can hurt herself willfully. Gao Yuchuan will not feel sorry for her, only those who love her, such as BOBO and CiCi, will feel sorry for her.
She must return home safe and healthy so that she can continue to stay with them and wait for the opportunity to find a way to leave with the children.
Yes, she had to leave.
Leave Gao Yuchuan, who is so uncertain and never trusts her.
She wanted to live a good life with him, but it was just wishful thinking.
The only one she can rely on is herself.
Thinking of this, Shen Yaochu took the initiative to push the bowl next to the soup bowl and scooped up another bowl of soup.
The warm pork ribs soup went down the throat and relieved the uncomfortable stomach a lot.
Shen Yaochu put down the bowl and drank all the soup inside.
Gao Yuchuan curled his lips with satisfaction and dialed the bodyguard's phone number: "Go and ask for Miss Su."
Shen Yao was startled for a moment and looked up at him with a surprised expression.
Gao Yuchuan glanced at her: "Reward."
"..."
Shen Yaochu suddenly remembered the puppy in Su Xiao's mother's house.
Su Xiao said that when she trained her puppy, if she did something wrong, she would lock it up and punish it to let it know that it was wrong. When it does something right, she will pat its head to praise it, and then give it a small snack as a reward. Her dog quickly learned many skills and quickly became very well-behaved.
Just like Gao Yuchuan was treating her at this moment.

————
Su Xiao's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked worriedly at her suitcase and mobile phone.
She thought for a long time before finally picking up the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone quickly picked up the phone and said with a sullen voice: "Lidya Su, what are you doing? Are you leaving?!"
Su Xiao sniffed, her voice muffled and crying: "Dean Xu, I may not be able to leave, and I have to take a few days off."
"You're not leaving?!" Dean Xu on the other end of the phone was shocked.
"Yes, I can't leave. My best friend has encountered some problems in the manor. I want to stay with her."
When she thought of Shen Yaochu's current situation, Su Xiao's tears welled up again. She couldn't imagine what Shen Yaochu had gone through all these years, and she was extremely upset about the accusations she made against Shen Yaochu when they first met.
She didn't pay much attention to Shen Yaochu before, so she didn't know what kind of dire straits she was in.
Now that she knows this time, she can stay with her, even if it's just in the manor, even if she can't get in touch with Shen Yaochu at all.
"Your bestie? You mean President Gao's wife?!" Dean Xu was speechless: "That's President Gao's wife. Are there any problems or troubles that President Gao can't solve? Do you still need a little Su Xiao to solve them? "
Su Xiao almost cursed out loud. Who would have thought that the CEO of the Gao Group could not protect his wife from the wind and rain at all, and he was even the biggest storm for his wife! !
Su Xiao curled her lips, tightened her grip on the handle of the suitcase, and couldn't help but cry: "Dean Xu, this is really important. I will buy the air ticket back by myself, and I won't ask the hospital for reimbursement. If you ask for leave, you can deduct it." A month’s salary is enough for me…”
"Okay, okay!" Dean Xu said dissatisfiedly: "I'll give you three days off. You can come back as soon as possible after finishing the work. One day later, you can take the initiative to write a resignation report!"
"Thank you Xu Yuan..."
Su Xiao hung up the phone and looked at the suitcase at her feet with worry.
She stayed, but she couldn't even see Shen Yaochu...
At this time, someone suddenly knocked on Lidya Su’s door.
Lidya Su was a little surprised. Who else would come to see her in a foreign manor? Could it be Shen Yaochu? !
Su Xiao jumped up from the chair, stood up and went to open the door, but when the door opened, it was the burly bodyguards beside Gao Yuchuan.
Lidya Su was startled and said defensively: "What do you want to do?!!"
"Ms. Su, don't get me wrong." The bodyguard explained, "It was Mr. Gao who asked me to invite you."
"Invite me?" Su Xiao was stunned, and suddenly panicked: "It couldn't be that something happened to Yao Chu, right?!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Gao just invites you to come over and relax with your wife."
"..."
*****
Su Xiao jogged all the way to the door of Shen Yaochu's room. She gasped and opened the door carefully.
This time, no one stopped her and she went in smoothly.
Su Xiao was ready to go into the bedroom to find Shen Yaochu. When she passed by the kitchen, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside, which seemed to be on the phone.
"Master Yuchuan, I have persuaded my wife as you said, and my wife has already eaten for the sake of the children. Can you just not let me leave the Gao family?"
Hearing this, Lidya Su began to feel distressed again.
It seems that Shen Yaochu recently used a hunger strike to fight against Gao Yuchuan due to house arrest...
Su Xiao frowned and pushed open the door of Shen Yaochu's bedroom.
Hearing the noise from behind, Shen Yaochu turned around and saw Su Xiao nimbly getting in like a kitten and rushing into her arms.
Su Xiao's body was warm and pressed against Shen Yaochu's cold skin.
The tip of Shen Yaochu's nose was slightly sore: "Xiaoxiao, didn't you say you were going back to China today?"
"I'm not going back!" Su Xiao sniffed and was about to cry again: "I want to accompany you, Yao Chu."
Shen Yaochu blinked: "Thank you Xiaoxiao."
"Don't hurt yourself in the future, okay?" Su Xiao gently stroked Shen Yaochu's back: "Even Gao Yuchuan knows that you have to eat well even for the sake of your children!"
Shen Yaochu was stunned: "Gao Yuchuan?"
"Yes, is that the cooking aunt in the kitchen? She said she advised you according to Gao Yuchuan's words..."
Shen Yaochu could hardly hear what Su Xiao said later.
It turned out that Gao Yuchuan knew her weakness best.
