To seduce her

The bathroom was filled with a faint scent of perfume, and the lighting was soft and bright.

But Xia Yizhuo in the cubicle felt as if he was being pricked by a thorn.

"Is this true? Why does this girl look so much like Yuchuan's wife?"

"It must be true! Don't you know what happened back then? What happened?"

"Back then, Yu Shan put a lot of thought into saving Shen Yaochu. He even secretly lived with her in California for several years."

"Oh my god, I think I know about this. Now that Yu Chuan and Shen Yaochu are so close, Yu Shan has given up? Then this girlfriend he found... couldn't she be a substitute?"

"Of course! I just feel like it's just for fun. Men are like that!"

"..."

The sound of hand washing outside stopped abruptly, and the conversation ended.

Their voices were like sharp knives, piercing Xia Yizhu's heart.

She hid in the cubicle, holding the door handle tightly, feeling extremely sad.

In fact, she knows all of this.

She knew that Gao Yushan liked Shen Yaochu at the beginning, and he spent several years in California with Shen Yaochu and the two children.

But she loved Gao Yushan, so she tried hard to forget about it.

Even if she remembered it, she would comfort herself and say it was okay because she was by his side now.

But when Xia Yizhui heard other people's discussions again, he still felt so heartbroken that he couldn't control himself.

She didn't know what to do. She didn't dare go out and face those people, afraid to see their strange looks and mocking expressions.

Xia Yizhuo can accept that she is a substitute and she is willing to stay with him.

But can she withstand other people's gossip?

If these wounds were to be repeatedly brought up and ridiculed, could she really keep going?

The more Xia Yizhui thought about it, the sadder she became, with tears welling up in her eyes.

She leaned against the wall of the cubicle, trying hard to control her emotions and not let her tears flow.

What's going on?

Is it because of the pregnancy and the influence of hormones that she is sad again?

Xia Yizhui hated herself for being like this. Why should she be sad about something she was clearly willing to accept?

She is too much...

……

Outside the restroom.

Gao Yushan chatted with Shen Yaochu about several projects that had been recently recovered.

But it was obvious that Gao Yushan's mind was not entirely focused on the conversation with Shen Yaochu.

His eyes drifted towards the bathroom from time to time, his brows slightly furrowed, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

Shen Yaochu keenly noticed Gao Yushan's absent-mindedness. She followed his gaze and understood a little bit.

"Xiao Xia hasn't come out yet." Shen Yaochu reminded softly.

Gao Yushan nodded slightly, sighed and said, "Yes, she has been in there for so long and has not come out. I am a little worried that something has happened to her."

As he spoke, he glanced towards the bathroom again, his eyes full of anxiety.

He unconsciously clenched the wine glass in his hand, and his fingers turned slightly white.

Now that Xia Yizhui is pregnant, there are actually some dangers in places like the bathroom where there is water.

Xia Yizhu is acting rashly again...

The more Gao Yushan thought about it, the more worried he became. He frowned slightly and said, "Yaochu, can you help me go in and check on her? You know her current physical condition."

Shen Yaochu nodded: "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Gao Yushan looked at Shen Yaochu gratefully and said, "Thank you."

……

Shen Yaochu walked into the bathroom and instantly felt an unusual silence. The only sound she could hear was the sound of dripping water.

"Xiao Xia, are you in there?" Shen Yaochu asked softly, "Which room are you in?"

No one answered.

Shen Yaochu's heart suddenly tightened. She was a little nervous and searched one cubicle after another.

It wasn't until I reached the last cubicle that I finally heard a slight sobbing sound coming from inside.

Shen Yaochu's heart suddenly tightened. She knocked on the door gently and said, "Xiao Xia, is that you? What's wrong with you?"

The sobbing inside paused for a moment, and then Xia Yizhu's crying voice came: "It's me..."

Shen Yaochu noticed Xia Yizhu's mood and said softly, "Xiao Xia, adjust your mood, open the door first, and let's go out and talk, okay?"

"Um……"

Shen Yaochu stood at the door waiting patiently.

After a while, the door of the compartment slowly opened. Xia Yizhui's eyes were a little red, and there were still traces of tears on her face.

Shen Yao felt a little distressed when she first saw her timid appearance. She reached out and pulled Xia Yizhu out: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Yizhu just lowered his head, didn't speak, his body trembling slightly, and he stammered: "I'm scared. I've never been to such an occasion before. Did I embarrass him..."

Shen Yaochu felt a little sour when she saw Xia Yizhui's inferiority complex and twisted appearance.

She had gone through the same thing in the past, so she didn't want to see Xia Yizhui go through so much psychological trauma.

Shen Yaochu gently wiped away the tears from Xia Yizhu's eyes and comforted her, "Don't think too much, Xiaoxia. Yushan brought you here to let everyone know that you are very important to him. You don't need to be afraid of anyone's gaze."

"But..." Xia Yizu lowered his head and said "but" for a long time without saying anything else.

Shen Yaochu said softly: "Yushan was worried about you outside, so he asked me to come in to find you. Compared with other people's opinions, isn't his worry more important?"

Xia Yizhui then raised her head, thought about it, and nodded.

Shen Yaochu took Xia Yizhu's hand and said, "Let's go. He will be relieved when he sees that you are okay."

"it is good."

……

Gao Yushan was waiting outside, looking a little anxious.

Seeing Shen Yaochu leading Xia Yizhuo out, Gao Yushan's eyes followed them closely.

Only when he saw that Xia Yizhui looked calm and showed no obvious discomfort did he feel relieved.

Gao Yushan walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xia Yizhu shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable, so I hid for a while."

Gao Yushan's frown finally relaxed: "I'm glad you're okay."

"I'm sorry for making you worry!"

As they were talking, someone came over to say hello, interrupting their conversation.

Gao Yushan was surrounded by a group of people and chatted nearby. Xia Yizhui stood there, looking at Gao Yushan's back, feeling mixed emotions.

The gossip I heard in the bathroom just now kept echoing in my mind uncontrollably.

……

Seeing that Xia Yizhui had recovered as normal, Shen Yaochu felt a little relieved.

Suddenly her cell phone rang. It was Gao Yuchuan. She picked up the call.

"I will arrive soon."

Shen Yaochu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come out to pick you up."

Shen Yaochu was holding the phone and walking out while talking, but she always felt that someone was looking at her vaguely.

She turned around subconsciously and met Xia Yizhu's complicated eyes.

Shen Yaochu was slightly stunned. When she looked over carefully, Xia Yizhui had already turned her gaze away.

Did she see it wrong?
