To seduce her

The early morning sunlight shines through the thin curtains into Shen Yaochu's bedroom.

While she was still half asleep, her cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence.

Shen Yaochu reached out to take the phone, and when she saw that it was a call from Gao Yushan, she instantly became a little more sober.

"Hello, Yushan, why are you calling so early? What happened?" Shen Yaochu's voice was a little hoarse as if he had just woken up.

Gao Yushan's voice was filled with anxiety on the other end of the phone: "Yaochu, Xiaozhu's pregnancy reaction is too severe. She vomits everything she eats. Do you have any solution?"

Shen Yaochu's sleepiness disappeared instantly. She immediately sat up with a frown on her face. "How long has she been like this? Don't worry too much. I'll come right over and take her to the surgical center."

Gao Yushan breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, but said helplessly, "She has been like this since she came back from the dinner the night before. She didn't sleep much. She even went to the company to ask for leave yesterday. After she came back, she was a little absent-minded. I don't know if it's because she's too uncomfortable."

"Then let's not delay." Shen Yaochu said as he got out of bed in his slippers, "You must attend today's shareholders' meeting. Yu Chuan needs your help. I'll take care of your wife."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then, Yaochu." Gao Yushan said gratefully, "Contact me anytime if you have anything."

"It's going to be nothing." Shen Yaochu comforted.

……

The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and the white walls and ceiling looked a little dazzling under the light.

Xia Yizhui lay quietly on the hospital bed receiving an infusion, with the medicine dripping into her body through the tube. Her face was still a little pale, but because of the effect of the antiemetic, her brows were no longer as painfully furrowed as before.

Shen Yaochu sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes always focused on Xia Yizhui's condition.

She looked at Xia Yizhuo's somewhat empty eyes, her heart full of worry.

"Xiao Xia, are you feeling better?" Shen Yaochu's voice was soft and full of concern.

Xia Yizhu nodded slightly and forced a smile: "I'm fine, just a little worried about the baby in my belly."

Shen Yaochu gently patted the back of Xia Yizhu's hand, with a hint of firmness in her voice: "Don't worry, the doctor said that the baby is healthy. The most important thing for you now is to rest."

Xia Yizu lowered his head, but still seemed a little distracted.

Shen Yaochu was worried that she was sad because of what happened at the dinner party, so she asked, "Are you worried about something? Or are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Yizhui was silent for a while, his lips trembling slightly, as if hesitating about something.

Finally, she said, "Sister Yaochu, I...I have an unwelcome request. I have something here, can you help me deliver it to the villa halfway up the mountain?"

Shen Yaochu looked at her with some confusion: "A villa halfway up the mountain?"

"Yeah." Xia Yizhu's eyes flashed with a complicated emotion: "It's a very important document to me. There... are people and things I don't want to face anymore. But this thing must be delivered. I really can't go in my current state. I can only ask you for help."

Looking at Xia Yizhu's pleading eyes, Shen Yaochu nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you. You should take good care of yourself now and don't think too much."

Xia Yizhu looked at Shen Yaochu gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Yaochu. Now that this thing has been delivered, I can finally put a big stone down in my heart."

"Okay." Shen Yaochu took the file and said, "I'll go and deliver it to you now. You can have a good rest. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the nurse."

"Yes!" Xia Yizhu nodded and thanked him again: "Thank you!"

……

Shen Yaochu drove along the winding mountain road towards the villa halfway up the mountain.

The car window was half open, and the fresh mountain air blew in, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees, gently caressing her hair.

The ringing of the cell phone broke the silence in the car. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Gao Yuchuan.

"Hello." Shen Yaochu's voice was filled with a hint of smile: "Is the meeting over? The efficiency is pretty good, Mr. Gao."

"I'm on a break in the meeting, so I wanted to call and hear your voice." Gao Yuchuan's voice came from the other end of the phone with a hint of relaxation.

The corners of Shen Yaochu's mouth rose unconsciously: "From your tone, the meeting is going well."

"Well, he did a lot of work before and was a great help."

Seeing that the two brothers were fully capable of fighting side by side, Shen Yaochu felt a lot more relieved.

For her, Gao Yushan, who always gave her help and warmth at the critical moment, must not be a bad person.

Even if he had done something extreme before, it could never offset the fact that he saved her twice.

Shen Yaochu was happy for both of them.

"Where are you now? It sounds like you're driving." Gao Yuchuan asked casually, "He said you were accompanying his wife for an IV drip?"

Shen Yaochu was just about to say that she wanted to deliver something for Xia Yizhui, but she hesitated.

She remembered Xia Yizhuo's request, asking her not to tell anyone.

Shen Yaochu sighed softly, and then replied: "I'm going to a friend's place to deliver something."

Gao Yuchuan was silent for a while, then said softly, "Drive carefully."

"Yeah, I get it. You too, don't work too hard."

The two talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

……

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yaochu lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car continued to drive along the winding mountain road towards the villa halfway up the mountain.

There were lush trees on both sides, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto her car, creating mottled light and shadows.

Shen Yaochu couldn't help but wonder how Xia Yizhui could be related to the people in this place.

Half Mountain Villa is a famous wealthy area in the city. People who live here are either rich or noble. Xia Yizhuo's background seems to be incompatible with this place.

The vehicle was gradually approaching the villa halfway up the mountain. Suddenly, a luxury car came from the opposite direction and blocked Shen Yaochu's car directly.

She hurriedly stepped on the brakes and the car stopped steadily.

Shen Yaochu's heart beat faster. She gripped the steering wheel tightly and looked at the car in front of her vigilantly.

A man got out of the car. Shen Yaochu looked closely and found that it was Luo Ningxuan.

When Luo Ningxuan saw Shen Yaochu, he was obviously surprised, and then he put on a smile.

"Yao Chu?"

"It turned out to be you. You scared me." Shen Yaochu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Sorry, sorry." Luo Ningxuan's voice was apologetic: "I saw this car just now and thought it was Yu Chuan, so I wanted to come over and take a look. What are you doing here?"

Shen Yaochu smiled slightly. She didn't want to reveal too much about Xia Yizhu, so she simply replied, "I'm here to deliver something to a friend."

"Friend?" Luo Ningxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced up the mountain, and said meaningfully: "Then be careful. The mountain roads here are complicated, so be careful when driving."
