To seduce her

"I mean, could you guys please not take up so many beds? Where's my place?"

BoBo and CiCi were stunned by his words and had confused expressions on their faces.

Shen Yaochu on the side looked helpless. Gao Yuchuan always said these words in front of the children, which really made her unable to cope with it.

BoBo and CiCi didn't realize that he was teasing Shen Yaochu, and thought they were just playing around, filling up the originally spacious bed, leaving no room for Gao Yuchuan.

They looked at each other, then at Gao Yuchuan, and seemed to realize their "domineering" behavior.

BoBo quickly got up from the bed, patted the seat next to him, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Dad, we forgot to save a seat for you. Come and sleep."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to make room for Gao Yuchuan.

CiCi quickly followed suit and moved on the bed, as if she wanted to make more space for Gao Yuchuan.

But this bed is not very big, and Gao Yuchuan is tall, so he is afraid that it will not be comfortable to sleep on it.

BoBo and CiCi were also obviously aware of this, and they had conflicted looks on their faces.

Suddenly, CiCi had an idea, an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on her face, and she quickly got into Shen Yaochu's arms.

BoBo saw that this seemed to be a good idea, so he also lay down.

The two children lay in Shen Yaochu's arms, looking at Gao Yuchuan with innocent eyes.

"That's it, Dad!" CiCi said as if taking credit.

The two children looked sincere and had no intention of declaring their territory, but Gao Yuchuan felt it was full of irony...

Gao Yuchuan originally just wanted to tease Shen Yaochu, but he didn't expect to be "counterattacked" by the children inadvertently.

Looking at the children occupying Shen Yaochu's arms, Gao Yuchuan's lips curled up into an indulgent smile.

He stretched out his hand, subconsciously wanting to touch the children's heads, but his hand only hovered in the air for a moment, then slowly let it go.

Looking at Gao Yuchuan's embarrassment, Shen Yaochu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She gently stroked the children's heads, her eyes full of tenderness, and then looked up at Gao Yuchuan with a playful smile on her lips: "Why, our Bobao and Cibao have given you their seats, but you are still not satisfied?"

The children's "sarcasm" was fake, but Shen Yaochu's was real.

Hearing this, Gao Yuchuan shook his head helplessly, lowered his head slightly, and smiled helplessly.

Shen Yaochu did it on purpose, just to demonstrate to him.

"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied." Gao Yuchuan said with a smile: "I want to thank our Bobao and Cibao for giving me their seats. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Come on, Dad!"

"it is good."

Gao Yuchuan climbed onto Shen Yaochu's bed, and without saying anything, he reached out and hugged Shen Yaochu and the two children into his arms.

The room was filled with the pleasant scent of medicinal incense. He looked at them tenderly, feeling the hard-earned happiness and warmth.

Suddenly, he heard Shen Yaochu's laughter. Gao Yuchuan lowered his head and met Shen Yaochu's teasing and smiling eyes.

"You also have your moments of frustration."

Gao Yuchuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes, I also get frustrated sometimes. But I am willing."

Qi family house, tea room.

Old Master Qi lay slightly on the rattan chair with his eyes closed, as if he was savoring the fragrance of tea, or resting his mind with his eyes closed.

Outside the window, the breeze blows gently, bringing with it the faint scent of tea and the fragrance of the flower beds in the distance, interweaving into a tranquil and harmonious picture.

A breeze came in through the window, bringing the sunshine in with it.

The sunlight shone through the half-open bamboo curtain, casting patches of light on his face, adding a touch of softness to his deeply wrinkled face.

The air was filled with a faint scent of tea, and Mr. Qi's breathing was smooth.

The servant came over quietly and skillfully and carefully poured tea for Mr. Qi.

The teacup and tea tray collided gently, making a crisp and pleasant sound, as if afraid of disturbing the old man who was in deep thought.

The servants carefully placed several exquisite snacks, each of which was as tempting as a work of art.

While arranging the tea set, the servant pretended to casually talk about some recent events.

"We have been relatively smooth lately, but Lukang has been quite unstable. There have been several major events in the business community."

His voice was gentle and low, like a whisper carried by the wind, but it reached Mr. Qi's ears clearly.

Mr. Qi did not respond immediately. He kept his eyes closed and remained silent, as if he did not hear the servant's words.

But the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, he heard every word clearly, and his heart was surging under the calm appearance.

The servant continued, "The Cao family is peaceful now, but the Gao and Mu families are in chaos. There are already several groups eyeing their positions and eager to take action. Maybe they are just waiting for an opportunity to overthrow them in one fell swoop."

Mr. Gao caught every word of the servant, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the rattan chair, the rhythm synchronized with the servant's words, revealing his inner fluctuations.

The servant carefully observed Mr. Qi's expression. He knew that although Mr. Qi pretended not to care on the surface, he was actually worried about some people and things in Lukang.

His fingers gently rubbed the teacup, as if he was feeling the temperature of the tea and thinking about the servant's words.

The servant knew that he cared, but couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he kept silent and continued to pour tea for the old man.

The aroma of tea was pervasive and refreshing, but it couldn't calm Mr. Qi's heart.

The servant placed the snacks lightly on the table, and seeing that Mr. Qi was still resting with his eyes closed, he stood silently by the side without saying anything more.

However, Mr. Qi suddenly spoke, his voice calm and firm: "Go on."

The servant was slightly stunned, then spoke respectfully and gave a brief account of the entanglements and disputes among the people in Lugang.

He described in detail the dynamics of the Lugang forces. Although he did not mention the Qi family, he made the delicate relationship between them and the Qi family clear.

When it came to the key point, the servant also deliberately observed the old man's reaction. He saw that although Mr. Qi still closed his eyes, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was obviously listening carefully.

The servant had an idea in his mind upon seeing this, and continued to tell the story until he had explained the whole story.

After saying this, the servant carefully observed the old man's expression, only to see that Old Man Qi slowly opened his eyes, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

The tea room fell into an inexplicable silence, with only the sound of Mr. Qi's deep breathing.

The servant paused, and finally asked, "Old Master, are you really going to ignore it? After all, it is..."

The servant didn't finish his words, but Mr. Qi knew what he meant.

That was his only grandson...
