To seduce her

Shen Yaochu's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

"What did you say?" Gao Yuchuan's voice trembled slightly.

Gao Yuchuan's eyes were fixed on Shen Yaochu's face, trying to read more information from her expression.

Shen Yaochu's eyes flashed, and just when Gao Yuchuan's eyes were filled with anticipation, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, with a flash of shyness in her eyes.

"There will be many people who love you in this world." Shen Yaochu stared at him and said seriously: "You must believe it."

Gao Yuchuan looked at her, the shock in his heart not yet subsided.

He looked at her bright eyes and listened to her relaxed tone, and the confusion and shock in his heart were slowly replaced by a warm feeling.

Even if Shen Yaochu didn't say it out loud, he could clearly feel her feelings.

Probably only Shen Yaochu could see his emotions at this moment.

Gao Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, and the aura around him became softer: "Who loves me?"

"BoBo, CiCi, the old man, the old lady..." Shen Yaochu blinked and said seriously: "They all love you."

"What else?" Gao Yuchuan asked.

Shen Yaochu opened her mouth and was about to speak when a male voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Yuchuan, Yaochu."

Gao Yuchuan and Shen Yaochu turned around at the same time, and Gao Yushan was slowly walking towards them.

He still seemed to have some difficulty with his legs and feet, and when he walked, he had an obvious limp that could not be concealed.

The rain stopped, but Gao Yuchuan still didn't put away his umbrella. In this way, Gao Yushan can keep a distance from them.

Gao Yushan stood still in front of the two of them, with a gentle smile on his face.

But both Gao Yuchuan and Shen Yaochu had known for a long time what kind of soul was hidden under this gentle and harmless mask.

Gao Yuchuan glanced sideways at him but said nothing.

Gao Yushan smiled: "I feel relieved to see that everything is fine with you."

Gao Yushan's words made Shen Yaochu's expression change slightly. She seemed to instantly return to the scene when she and her child were locked in the basement by him, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Gao Yuchuan realized Shen Yaochu's mood swings, and his hand around Shen Yaochu's slender waist tightened, as if giving her some strength.

Shen Yaochu narrowed her eyes and leaned her weight on Gao Yuchuan.

There was a hint of provocation in Gao Yushan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a mocking smile.

"Yuchuan, I have something to tell you. Isn't it convenient?"

Gao Yuchuan looked at him with deep and firm eyes, calmly met Gao Yushan's gaze, and then contemptuously crossed the tie on Gao Yushan's chest.

He could almost predict what Gao Yushan wanted to say.

It was nothing more than showing off the tie on his chest, hoping to cause them to misunderstand.

Otherwise, why would Gao Yushan wear such an inappropriate tie?

Gao Yuchuan smiled softly and then spoke, his voice low and powerful.

"It's convenient for me to say everything in front of her, but I don't know if it's inconvenient for you."

Gao Yushan's face froze.

Gao Yuchuan's deep black eyes were full of coldness, and the corners of his raised lips were filled with a mocking smile.

He held Shen Yaochu's hand, took half a step forward, lowered his head slightly, and lowered his voice and said in Gao Yushan's ear: "Some misunderstandings can only be used once, let alone those who already know the truth. Do you understand? Gao Yushan?"

Gao Yushan was stunned in place, and the smile on his lips gradually dissipated as time went by.

Gao Yuchuan stopped talking to Gao Yushan. He put away his umbrella, hugged Shen Yaochu and left the Gao family's old house.

Gao Yushan, whose eyes were full of gloom, was left staring at the backs of the two people closely touching each other.

----

The world after the rain seems to be shrouded in a layer of mist.

Gao Yuchuan's eyes were focused and deep as he held the steering wheel tightly and drove slowly on the wet road.

Shen Yaochu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was looking out the window quietly.

The rain-washed road reflected the dim street lights, which shone on Shen Yaochu, shrouding her whole body.

The atmosphere inside the car was quiet and deep, with only the sound of raindrops hitting the windows.

Gao Yuchuan looked sideways at Shen Yaochu, her profile looking particularly melancholy in the silence.

Gao Yuchuan pursed his thin lips and finally asked, "What are you thinking about?"

His voice was a little careless, but you could tell that he had thought about it for a long time before asking.

Shen Yaochu looked back at him: "What did he just want to tell you? Is it something I shouldn't know?"

Gao Yuchuan tapped his fingertips rhythmically on the steering wheel. He thought for a while: "Probably he wants to show off that you and the children bought him that tie."

Combined with Gao Yuchuan's words just now, Shen Yaochu suddenly realized.

Gao Yuchuan: "He probably didn't expect that I actually knew everything."

Shen Yaochu nodded: "I didn't expect it either..."

As Shen Yaochu said that, she suddenly realized something. She suddenly raised her head and looked at him: "So before, you saw the tie I bought, but you thought I gave it to him in the end?"

Gao Yuchuan raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

Shen Yaochu bit her lower lip in embarrassment: "I didn't give it to him. Maybe he found out which one I bought..."

"I know." Gao Yuchuan said in a calm voice, "He deliberately made me angry."

His tone was relaxed, as if he was not the one who was offended before.

Shen Yaochu covered her lips and snickered, and the melancholy aura surrounding her body disappeared instantly.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the car also improved a lot.

The world in the car seemed to have stopped, with only the sound of rain intertwined with each other's heartbeats.

Shen Yaochu turned her head slightly, staring at Gao Yuchuan's angular profile with bright eyes, and asked softly: "Didn't you reject me when I asked you to come? Why did you come anyway?"

The corners of Shen Yaochu's mouth rose slightly, as if she was a little confused and a little happy.

Gao Yuchuan was silent for a moment, his eyes not moving away from the front, and there was something unnatural in his deep eyes.

He took a gentle breath, his voice low and slightly magnetic.

"If I don't come, won't you get caught in the rain?"

Gao Yuchuan's voice was full of laughter, and Shen Yaochu certainly knew that he was joking.

"How did you know it would rain if you didn't come?" Shen Yaochu folded his hands on his knees and looked at him seriously.

At a red light, Gao Yuchuan slowly stepped on the brakes.

The car stopped steadily and he looked back at her.

"I will come on the anniversary of the death of the old man." Gao Yuchuan stared at him and said, "Besides, I know you really want me to come."

Shen Yaochu nodded and asked again: "But why did you reject me so decisively when I asked you to come?"

Gao Yuchuan was startled, but he didn't expect Shen Yaochu's question to be waiting for him here.

Gao Yuchuan made a fist with one hand and put it in front of his lips, coughing slightly: "I thought you would agree to my request for 'land cession and compensation' in order to persuade me to go."
