To seduce her

After answering the phone, Xia Yizhui returned to the room with a heavy heart.

Her face was pale and her eyes revealed a dazed look, as if her soul had been taken away.

Gao Yushan keenly noticed something strange about Xia Yizhuo.

He frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Xiao Zhu, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Xia Yizhui bit her lip, not wanting Gao Yushan to think that it was because of him that she was in this predicament.

She forced a smile, trying to hide her uneasiness: "Nothing, just some minor problems at work."

Looking at Xia Yizhu's obviously unnatural expression, Gao Yushan became even more certain that she was lying.

He maneuvered the wheelchair and came to Xia Yizhuo. He raised his head slightly to look at her and saw her red eye sockets and tearful eyes.

Gao Yushan chuckled and said soothingly: "There is nothing we can't talk about. Tell me, what happened?"

Xia Yizhui felt the sincerity and worry in Gao Yushan's eyes, and her heart softened, knowing that she could no longer hide it.

Zhou Lei gave her two options, one was to resign, and the other was to go to work on time tomorrow morning.

No matter which option it is, she has to tell Gao Yushan.

Xia Yizhu sighed and said slowly: "Actually, my boss was a little unhappy because I asked for two days of personal leave at the beginning. So I thought, I should just ask for a longer leave. My boss asked me if I was on sick leave, and I didn't deny it..."

Xia Yizhu lowered her eyes, her voice tearful and she blamed herself: "Now, my team leader knows that I cheated on sick leave and is very angry. He wants me to find a way to solve it myself, otherwise he will tell my leader. If the matter gets out of hand, it may affect other colleagues."

Xia Yizhu shook his head: "I don't want this. My colleagues are all very kind to me. I can't repay kindness with hatred and affect them."

Hearing this, Gao Yushan didn't say anything, but just continued to stare at her.

He knew that the "other colleagues" she was talking about who would be implicated were most likely her male boss.

Gao Yushan pursed his lips and asked cautiously: "So, what are you struggling with?"

"He told me to either resign or go to work tomorrow..." Xia Yizhu sniffed and cried even harder: "I know all this is my fault, and I also know that what he said is what I should do. But I still can't make up my mind."

Gao Yushan was in a complicated mood, but he had to admit that when he heard that Xia Yizhuo might resign, he felt a sense of inexplicable happiness in his heart.

If Xia Yizhu resigned because of this incident, she would never meet her male leader again.

This was exactly what he wanted to achieve.

But he didn't dare say it easily.

"Determined?" Gao Yushan asked tentatively, "Are you unable to make up your mind to resign, or are you unable to make up your mind... to leave me behind and go to work tomorrow?"

Xia Yizhui raised his eyes suddenly, with a hint of panic and uneasiness in his eyes, as if his thoughts had been exposed.

"I...I don't want to resign." Xia Yizhu took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth: "I don't want to give up my job."

"What about me?" Gao Yushan asked her, with hurt in his eyes: "If you lose this job, you will find other jobs."

He pursed his lips and continued, "If you want to work, you can continue to be a florist in my house. If you don't want to work, you can do nothing and just..."

"Doing nothing but accompanying you?" Xia Yizhu interrupted Gao Yushan, looking at him with a strange look in his eyes: "I have my own dreams and pursuits. I want to have my own life. I can't just revolve around you."

At this moment, Xia Yizhui was extremely sure of his thoughts.

She knew from a young age that she couldn't rely on others and could only rely on herself.

Even if Gao Yushan appeared in front of him like a savior and solved his family's troubles.

But she always believes in her own efforts.

What's more, Gao Yushan pushed her away countless times.

If she loses this job now and is pushed away again, she will have no choice but to start a new career.

She really needs money now. No matter whether she can be with Gao Yushan in the future or not, she must return the 500,000 yuan to him.

If they couldn't be together, she didn't want to owe Gao Yushan money.

If she was lucky enough to be with him...she also hoped that she would not owe him anything and that they could have an equal relationship.

So, she can't lose her job and career.

Gao Yushan frowned slightly. He didn't expect that even after he had said so much, Xia Yizhui was still unwilling to resign.

He lowered his voice: "I just hope you can stay by my side. As for work, I can arrange whatever you want to do."

"You don't understand my idea, Mr. Gao." Xia Yizhu's voice softened, but the words in his words were more firm than before: "You can indeed give me a better position and more salary, but I don't want to rely on you to accomplish this."

During the conversation, Xia Yizhu had already made a decision: "I will go back to work at the company tomorrow, but after work, I will go back to Gao's house to accompany you, is that okay?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Gao Yushan looked at Xia Yizhu, his eyes full of disappointment and grievance. He said softly, "Then what should I do?"

"You are in the surgical center. You have doctors, nurses, rehabilitation therapists, and servants around you." Xia Yizhu said seriously, "I also promised to come to Gao's house to accompany you after work. If you don't like servants to take care of you, then I will do it."

Gao Yushan's chest rose and fell: "But my body has not fully recovered yet, and I am always uneasy. Only when you are by my side, I feel at ease."

Gao Yushan knew that Xia Yizhu was a girl who would easily be persuaded by soft words.

Every time he acted pitiful, she would agree to him.

But this time, Xia Yizhu showed a disappointed look on her face. She frowned slightly and said firmly: "I can't quit my current job to take care of you."

She patiently explained: "Although this job has nothing to do with my favorite career, it is the starting point of my own life. I don't want to throw it away casually, so it is very important to me."

"I want to have my own life and don't want to be anyone's vassal."

Gao Yushan didn't expect that his trick of pretending to be pitiful would fail, and he felt inexplicably angry.

"Vassal?" Gao Yushan's eyes were tinged with a thin layer of anger: "I never asked you to be my vassal, it's me who needs you now, I hope you can consider me more and put your focus on me for the time being."

He didn't understand why this job was more important than him.

He even wondered whether it was this job that made her reluctant to leave, or was there someone else that made her reluctant to leave?

When he thought of this, Gao Yushan couldn't help but clench his fists: "Xiao Zhu, why do I want you to be with me? Why do I need you? Don't you understand?"

Xia Yizhu said without thinking: "I know you are used to being taken care of by me, but can't you just endure it for a few days..."

"Because I love you, I need you." Gao Yushan asked coldly, "Is this hard to understand?"
