After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Shen Yao had once lost a child, and seeing Bo Chengxi crying pitifully, she couldn't help but say to Bo Yuxiu, "The child knows he was wrong, don't hit him anymore."

Bo Yuxiu raised an eyebrow, his deep phoenix eyes fixed on Shen Yao. "Teacher Shen is right. Hitting is useless, but punishment might be more effective."

He lowered his head, bent down, and pinched Bo Chengxi's cheek hard. "Teacher Shen thinks it was too cruel of me to hit you. How about this, you go back and write 'I'm sorry, I was wrong' 100 times in English, and I won't punish you."

Upon hearing this, Bo Chengxi raised her little head and burst into loud sobs.

"Waaah, Daddy, no! Just punish me by not letting me eat candy for a month instead!"

Shen Yao felt heartbroken seeing Bo Chengxi crying his eyes out.

She was about to speak when she met Bo Yuxiu's probing gaze, so she could only swallow her words.

"Teacher Shen, please save me! My dad is a bad person, a bad person!"

Bo Chengxi cried so hard he could barely breathe, his eyes turning red.

Shen Yao finally couldn't help but say, "Teacher Bo, when children do something wrong, they need to be disciplined properly, but it shouldn't be too violent or cruel. That will leave psychological trauma on the children."

Bo Yuxiu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Yes, you're right."

He turned around and used his long, muscular arm to lift Bo Chengxi up by the waist with one hand, while carrying a shopping bag full of groceries in the other. He said to Shen Yao, "I'm going back to school later, so I'll give you a ride on my way."

Shen Yao was also in a hurry, so she followed behind him.

As the X7 drove along the wide road, Bo Yuxiu, sitting in the driver's seat, saw in the rearview mirror that Bo Chengxi was asleep, his two little arms tightly wrapped around Shen Yao's waist.

A barely perceptible ripple flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Teacher Shen, do you like children?"

Shen Yao, who was resting with her eyes closed, opened her hazy eyes and looked somewhat dazed.

After a moment, she finally understood what the man was asking.

She subconsciously touched her flat stomach, thinking of the unborn child.

"I love it! The child is so cute," she said sincerely.

Although she now feels hatred when she thinks of Gu Tianyou, and feels that all her efforts over the years were not worth it.

But their children are innocent.

Upon hearing her answer, Bo Yuxiu's lips curled slightly, and he asked again, "Have you considered becoming a mother?"

Shen Yao answered subconsciously, "Of course I've considered it, but... I don't know if there's still a chance."

"Oh, I regret to inform you that you lost your baby. And you need to be prepared that your chances of getting pregnant again are extremely slim..." This was the devastating news that the attending physician told Shen Yao when she woke up.

Yes, she may never have the chance to be a mother again in her life.

Thinking of this, Shen Yao's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

Bo Yuxiu saw her gloomy expression in the rearview mirror. He wanted to continue probing, but in the end, he pursed his lips.

After handing the child over to the maid, Bo Yuxiu drove Shen Yao back to school.

After parking the car, Bo Yuxiu took a bag of groceries out of the trunk and called to Shen Yao, who was about to go upstairs, "I bought some hot pot ingredients. Let's have hot pot together! We can discuss tomorrow's surgery at the same time."

Shen Yao stopped and looked at the 28-degree temperature displayed on her phone, asking incredulously, "Are you sure you want to eat hot pot in the middle of summer?"
