To seduce her

It was silent in the middle of the night, and the corridors of the sanatorium were quiet, with only the occasional slight sound.

The moonlight shone through the window onto Shen Yaochu's bed, illuminating her pale and soft face.

Shen Yaochu yawned, and a strong sense of sleepiness came over her. Her eyelids gradually became heavy, and her breathing gradually became slow and deep.

Gao Yuchuan chuckled and took Shen Yaochu into his arms. He held her gently and let her lean on his chest. His eyes were gentle and affectionate, as if he wanted to pour all his love into this weak woman.

"Sleepy?"

"Well, the effect of this medicine is quite strong. I always feel a little sleepy after taking it." Shen Yaochu insisted and blinked: "What time is it now?"

Gao Yuchuan raised his wrist to check his watch and replied in a deep voice, "It's past ten o'clock."

"It's time to go to bed then." Shen Yaochu narrowed her eyes and rubbed her cheek against his firm chest like a sleepy kitten: "By this time, BoBo and CiCi should have fallen asleep."

As a mother who is separated from her children, Shen Yaochu thinks of her two children almost every moment.

Gao Yuchuan carefully adjusted Shen Yaochu's position in his arms to make her more comfortable. His movements were gentle and delicate, and his words were not perfunctory: "Well, recently I'm afraid they miss you too much, so they go out to play for a long time every day. If they are happy or tired, they go to bed early."

As Gao Yuchuan spoke, his fingers gently slid across Shen Yaochu's cheek. Her skin was delicate and smooth, and Gao Yuchuan's fingertips gently caressed it, as if he was stroking an inestimably precious treasure.

He couldn't help but lower his head and gently kissed her forehead: "If you are tired, go to sleep too."

"Well..." Shen Yaochu closed her eyes in his arms at ease: "Good night, Gao Yuchuan."

"Good night……"

Shen Yaochu's voice was dazed, like a kitten's purring, full of laziness and sweetness, satisfaction and comfort.

In her heart, she must have known that she was about to recover, and would soon be able to return to BoBo and CiCi, and feel comfortable with his company.

Her murmurs were a little bit naive, as if making Gao Yuchuan's whole world softer.

Gao Yuchuan looked down at Shen Yaochu. Her breathing was even and light, calm and long, and she had already fallen asleep.

But Gao Yuchuan couldn't fall asleep. His brows were furrowed and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The sanatorium was exceptionally quiet at night, so quiet that Gao Yuchuan could even hear the rhythmic beating of his own and Shen Yaochu's hearts.

Gao Yushan kept his word and delivered the medicine that Shen Yaochu was going to take tonight.

But there is only enough for one meal tonight.

Normally, medicines for the day would be picked up on the same day, but this time Gao Yuchuan had some doubts.

Not only because the day's medicine was delivered in two meals today, but also because the person delivering the medicine was changed.

The people who delivered the medicine before were always people close to Mu Yian, but the people who came today were from Gao Yushan.

Thinking of the conversation with Gao Yushan in the office today, Gao Yuchuan became even more worried. He even began to doubt whether he could get the medicine smoothly in the future.

Shen Yaochu's condition finally stabilized, which was completely dependent on the support of drugs. If she really couldn't get the drugs later, the consequences would be disastrous.

----

While Gao Yuchuan was deep in thought, he accidentally noticed the screen of a mobile phone next to him flashing.

In order to accompany Shen Yaochu, Gao Yuchuan turned off all message reminders, for fear of disturbing her rest.

Gao Yuchuan carefully picked up the mobile phone from the bedside table, but the moment he picked it up, the call had already been made and the screen went black.

Gao Yuchuan tapped the screen of his mobile phone and found several missed calls from Qi Xiurui.

His heart tightened. Qi Xiurui had called him several times, so something urgent must have happened.

He turned his head to look at Shen Yaochu who was sleeping beside him. Her breathing was steady and her face was peaceful. She was obviously in a deep sleep.

Gao Yuchuan got up quietly, trying not to make any noise so as not to wake up Shen Yaochu.

The moonlight shines through the thin curtains and falls on Gao Yuchuan's face, leaving a cold shadow.

He walked out of the room quietly. The corridor of the sanatorium was empty, with only bright and warm lights on.

Gao Yuchuan quickly called back.

The call was quickly connected, and Qi Xiurui's voice came anxiously: "Mr. Gao, you finally answered the phone."

"Sorry, I turned off the mute button because I didn't want to disturb her." Gao Yuchuan's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition suddenly came over him: "You are looking for me... is there something?"

"Something happened today, and I couldn't get in touch with you, so I was a little anxious." Qi Xiurui's tone was filled with anxiety: "Miss Shen, do you have any medicine left?"

Gao Yuchuan's heart tightened, and he tried to keep his voice steady: "I have taken the medicine for tonight, but for tomorrow... I don't know yet."

"do not know?"

"Yes." Gao Yuchuan explained: "Yao Chu's medicine is delivered by Mu Yian every morning, but only the medicine for that day is delivered. So whether there is medicine for tomorrow or not, we can only know tomorrow morning."

"Same as me." Qi Xiurui said in a low voice, "In other words, she has no medicine for tomorrow, right?"

"Yes." Gao Yuchuan's throat tightened slightly, and his Adam's apple slid up and down: "Mr. Qi, do you... know something?"

Gao Yuchuan was cautious and nervous, and Qi Xiurui said without hesitation: "Something happened today, and I must tell you. Miss Mu suddenly came to our house today and proposed to cooperate with us."

Gao Yuchuan frowned, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter: "Cooperation? What conditions did she put forward?"

Qi Xiurui: "She wants us to stand on her side, against you and the Gao family."

Qi Xiurui's voice was tense, and Gao Yuchuan could even imagine his stern expression on the other end of the phone.

Gao Yuchuan frowned, and almost instantly sensed something was wrong: "She wants to use drugs to threaten you. If you don't join her in fighting against the Gao family, she will stop giving you the medicine?"

Qi Xiurui: “Yes.”

Gao Yuchuan pursed his lips tightly, his lips straightened: "She came to see me several times. Gao Yushan will not marry her. Once you and Yaochu get better, she will be useless and become an abandoned child. She is looking for protection."

"I guessed it." Qi Xiurui took a deep breath: "She must know that when no one needs medicine anymore, many people will not let her go. So, she is ready to fight to the death with everyone."

Gao Yuchuan's heart sank: "What do you mean?"

"She only left one dose of medicine and destroyed all the others." Qi Xiurui said in a deep voice: "This means that only one of me and Miss Shen can survive."
