To seduce her

hotel.

After the tense video conference ended, Gao Yuchuan took a deep breath and rubbed his temples, with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.

He raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was still early and he could just go and spend some time with Shen Yaochu and the children.

Gao Yuchuan clutched his cell phone and was about to stand up when a slight vibration interrupted the rhythm of his steps.

Gao Yuchuan looked down and thought it was Shen Yaochu, but he didn't expect it to be a partner who had just participated in the video conference.

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yuchuan answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, the partner's voice was very enthusiastic and full of expectations: "President Gao, I heard that you are here for a trip?"

Gao Yuchuan frowned slightly and remembered after two seconds that this partner was based abroad.

"Yeah." Gao Yuchuan responded casually: "I've been here for a few days."

The partner smiled heartily and seemed happy that Gao Yuchuan could remember that he was abroad.

"Mr. Gao, our family just held a family banquet recently, and we warmly invite you to attend." The expectation in the partner's voice became more and more intense: "It's a masquerade ball, and it's quite interesting. Are you willing to come?"

"Masquerade?" Gao Yuchuan asked casually.

Probably because Gao Yuchuan didn't refuse directly, the partners were instantly surprised and tried to persuade him: "Yes, Mr. Gao, we will hold it in a luxurious villa in the city center. There will be many business celebrities attending. Many people are It’s related to our project, would you like to come over and show your face?”

"I'm on vacation right now."

Gao Yuchuan responded calmly.

He took Shen Yaochu and his two children on a trip because he wanted to put down all work and spend time with them.

He had too many opportunities to participate in such commercial "family banquets" in Lukang.

He has no interest in participating in such activities during such precious travel time.

Gao Yuchuan was about to refuse when his partner chuckled on the other end of the phone.

"I know you brought your wife to travel, and it just so happened that you brought your female companion to this ball. Do you want to bring your wife to have fun? The masquerade party is still very interesting." The partner said seriously and specially invited: "Girls probably quite like it."

Gao Yuchuan's words of rejection were suppressed by his thin lips, and his heart moved slightly.

"What time?"

Gao Yuchuan's loose words made the partners feel happy: "Tonight! I will arrange for someone to pick you and your wife up, but you need to bring your own dress and makeup mask. Do you think it is suitable?"

"I'll go discuss it with my wife."

"Good good!"

Shen Yaochu was sitting in the corridor of the hospital, sitting on a chair, her ears seemed to block out all the sounds around her.

She couldn't hear any sound, she could only hear the "dong-dong-dong" beating of her heart.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated and made a slight sound.

Shen Yaochu's thoughts were finally pulled back, and all the noise around him was swept away again.

Seeing the caller ID on her mobile phone, Shen Yao was a little panicked for a while.

She covered the receiver, picked up the phone, and hurried outside the hospital, fearing that Gao Yuchuan would hear something.

"Hey?"

"Are you okay with BoBo and CiCi?" Gao Yuchuan's soft voice came from the other end of the receiver: "How are you having fun? Are you happy?"

Hearing that voice, Shen Yaochu's nose felt sore for no reason.

She said "hmm" softly and deliberately changed the subject: "Is the work over?"

"Well, where are you? I'm coming to pick you up now."

"..."

The surroundings were filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Shen Yaochu's palms holding the phone were slightly sweaty, and there was a trace of complicated emotions in her eyes.

Shen Yaochu pursed her lips and did not answer his words. She just asked, "Yes? Did something happen at work?"

"No." Gao Yuchuan said calmly and explained: "I have a partner here who held a family dinner and specially invited us there."

"Family banquet?" Shen Yaochu was a little confused: "Are you going to attend someone else's family banquet?"

"It's actually a masquerade, and the other party specially invited it." Gao Yuchuan repeated the four words "specially invited" and added: "It's not me, it's us."

Shen Yao was startled for a moment, and then she realized that he meant that she also wanted to participate.

No wonder he said he was coming to pick her up.

Under the cold white light of the hospital, Shen Yaochu's face became even paler. She lowered her head and looked at her CT film, thinking of the heartbreaking pain last night, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Shen Yaochu took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm and natural: "You want to take me there?"

"Yeah." Gao Yuchuan laughed: "I need Mrs. Gao to come over and be my female companion."

Shen Yaochu's heart felt like a pebble had been thrown into it, making waves.

If Gao Yuchuan had such a soft tone before, Shen Yaochu would have fallen for it long ago.

But she doesn't dare to do it now. She's afraid that she might get sick at any time, and she won't be able to control herself when she's in pain...

"But I don't want to go..." Shen Yaochu's voice became smaller and smaller: "Can I not go?"

"Okay." Gao Yuchuan paused and said in a normal voice: "If you don't give the partners this face, the business may be affected."

"Ah..." Shen Yaochu bit her lower lip in embarrassment. She didn't want to affect Gao Yuchuan anymore because of herself.

"I know you don't like socializing." Gao Yuchuan advised softly: "Just stay with me. Huh?"

Gao Yuchuan put down his work for so long to play with her and BoBoCiCi, which was enough to make her feel guilty.

If it affects the business he has negotiated, Shen Yaochu will really blame himself.

Thinking of this, Shen Yao was in a dilemma for a while.

She thought for a while and finally took a deep breath: "Okay...but I am playing with my children in the city now."

"City?"

"Um……"

Gao Yuchuan: "I might not be able to pick you up in time, so I'll directly notify them to pick you up. We'll meet at the venue."

"it is good."

Shen Yaochu hung up the phone and was about to get up to find the two children when she suddenly felt severe pain in her abdomen.

People were coming and going in the corridor of the hospital, but no one could be relied upon by Shen Yaochu.

Shen Yaochu sat alone on the bench. The pain that hit her instantly made her face pale and she was sweating profusely.

She grasped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, trying to find some support there, but to no avail.

Shen Yaochu gritted her teeth to prevent herself from moaning, but the pain was too severe, and tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes.

Time seemed to slow down, and every second seemed as long as a year.

The pain became more and more intense, and Shen Yaochu began to feel desperate.

The children are still waiting for her, Gao Yuchuan still needs her, what should she do...
