To seduce her

Qi family.

Qi Xiurui sat alone in the room, his brows furrowed and his face slightly pale.

Qi Xiurui felt as if his chest was being pressed down by a huge rock. The stuffy feeling made it almost impossible for him to breathe, and was accompanied by a sharp pain from time to time.

He tried to take deep breaths to ease the discomfort, but it had little effect.

Qi Xiurui raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, and understood in his heart that it was probably because of the long-term withdrawal from medication that his body began to be overwhelmed.

Qi Xiurui pulled the corners of his lips, revealing a bitter smile.

It seems that he has to follow Shen Yaochu's lead.

It was like fate. He caused Shen Yaochu to lie in the intensive care unit, and he could not escape the fate.

As Qi Xiurui thought about this, his eyes were filled with a hint of helplessness, as if he had given up resisting and struggling, and seemed to think that this was the best outcome.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the servant came in with a tray with a bottle of medicine and a cup of warm water on it.

The servant's voice was gentle and concerned: "Master Qi, the medicine has been delivered, please take it."

Seeing Qi Xiurui's ugly face, the servant was a little nervous: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Qi Xiurui responded indifferently. Without thinking too much, he took the medicine bottle, poured out a dose of pills from the bottle, and swallowed them.

This medicine is a painkiller after all. Since the body has reacted, it might be better to take some painkillers to suppress it.

At least, it can prevent him from collapsing at this moment, and he can still play a role in finding out the truth about the dressing change.

Qi Xiurui raised his head and drank the water in the cup.

Qi Xiurui wiped the corners of his lips with his thumb, wiped away the water that had overflowed from his lips, and took a deep breath.

I don’t know what happened to Shen Yaochu.

At this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound from downstairs.

Qi Xiurui's brows furrowed again, and a feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Qi Xiurui immediately stood up and hurried downstairs.

Qi Xiurui had just gone downstairs when he saw Mu Yian rushing out with a stubborn look on his face.

Qi's father and mother stood at the door, blocking her from leaving.

Mu Yian was obviously unwilling, she threw them away violently and struggled continuously, trying to break free from their restraints.

When Qi Xiurui came closer, their reactions became less intense.

Qi Xiurui frowned and said, "Miss Mu, what are you doing?"

When Qi's father and mother saw Qi Xiurui coming down, their expressions relaxed a little, but there was still some anxiety in their tone.

Qi's mother explained: "Xiao Rui, she must leave, but Gao Yuchuan's men are outside. If she goes out, she will definitely be arrested!"

"Yes, Miss Mu, our Qi family is the safest place now. Do you really not want to live anymore?" Qi's father tried his best to persuade.

Mu Yian's hair was disheveled, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse. She yelled at them, "You Qi family members are all liars. I believed what Qi Xiurui said, but it's already noon, why hasn't Mr. Qi come yet?! Who will guarantee my safety?!"

Qi's father and mother were stunned: "Grandpa? Grandpa is coming today?"

This sentence was like a bomb thrown into the Qi family, causing Mu Yian to collapse directly.

"Qi Xiurui, you lied to me?!"

"..."

Qi Xiurui opened his mouth and was about to speak when the servant at the door suddenly looked frightened and rushed over.

"Master, Madam, outside..." The servant's voice was trembling, and his words were already a little confused: "Outside, they said that Master Qi is here!"

"..."

nursing home.

In the quiet intensive care unit, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the window, gently falling on Shen Yaochu's pale face.

She lay there quietly, as if the whole world had stopped for her.

Shen Yaochu's facial features were still as delicate and soft as before, but at this moment, they had lost their former liveliness and vitality.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was experiencing unspeakable pain in her dream.

The warm sunshine, however, could never dispel the gloom surrounding her.

Gao Yuchuan sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on Shen Yaochu's face, as if he wanted to imprint every subtle expression of hers deeply in his heart.

His fingers gently slid across Shen Yaochu's hair, and the soft hair entangled around his fingertips, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Yaochu, what should I do?" Gao Yuchuan said in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, Gao Yuchuan looked extremely haggard, with stubble on his face, spreading out in a disorderly manner like forgotten weeds.

His originally deep facial features, as if carved by a knife, now looked even more weathered and tired against the backdrop of his stubble.

His eyes were red and swollen, full of bloodshot, the result of a long night of battle, endless struggle and torment.

Gao Yuchuan lowered his eyelids, deep fatigue flickering in his eyes. Every time he blinked, it was as if he was using up all his strength.

"So, am I really going to let you go? Will you be tired and in pain if I keep you like this?"

Gao Yuchuan's voice was very soft, like a whisper, like a question.

His shoulders slumped slightly, his hands resting limply on the bed, his fingers trembling slightly, and apart from being able to hold her hand, he didn't even have the strength to lift it.

Gao Yuchuan lowered his head and kissed the back of Shen Yaochu's hand. As he lowered his head, his messy hair drooped slightly, and the few strands of hair casually stuck to his forehead, adding a bit of decadence.

"It's really difficult, Yaochu. Why do things always go so wrong between us?"

Gao Yuchuan's eyes were filled with heartache and helplessness. He looked at Shen Yaochu's closed eyes, and those memories suddenly came flooding back and filled his mind.

He even remembered some things he thought he had completely forgotten due to amnesia.

Every time Gao Yuchuan suddenly recalled the past, his regret and pain increased a little more.

They could have clearly loved each other very much from that time on, but due to the tricks of fate, they went around in circles and could never have a happy ending.

He just wanted to be with her forever...

But she is so young, he has not been able to be happier with her, and she has not seen BoBo and CiCi grow up...

How could he let go of Shen Yaochu like this?

The whole room was filled with a heavy atmosphere, with only Gao Yuchuan's breathing and the breeze coming from outside the window echoing softly.

He sat there, guarding Shen Yaochu quietly.

It was not until night fell that he slowly got up and left the room.

This time, there was a determination in Gao Yuchuan's eyes that he had never had before.

Gao Yuchuan pushed open the door of the intensive care unit and Assistant Fang came over immediately.

"Mr. Gao."

Gao Yuchuan nodded slightly: "Where is Professor RAY?"

"He's taking a break. His team is already working on a plan. Once you've made your decision, they'll start implementing it."

"Well." Gao Yuchuan said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind."

"..."
