To seduce her

His thoughts returned to his mind, Gao Yuchuan lowered his head and looked at the two pairs of expectant eyes of BoBo and CiCi.

Did they believe that Shen Yaochu was playing hide-and-seek with them?

Gao Yuchuan pursed his lips slightly. In this world, perhaps only BoBo and CiCi could empathize with him.

Even if Shen Yaochu was really dead, they were willing to believe his words and believe that Shen Yaochu was just playing hide-and-seek with them.

Gao Yuchuan touched BoBo and CiCi's heads and said with a faint smile: "Of course."

After hearing Gao Yuchuan's words, the two children's eyes lit up and they became excited instantly.

CiCi raised her hands and jumped up: "Then I want to compete with my brother to see who can find mom first!"

BoBo also said seriously: "It doesn't matter who finds mom first, as long as they can find mom first!"

Gao Yuchuan looked at BoBo's face, which was a smaller version of himself, and felt that even his thoughts were exactly the same as his own.

No matter when they find it, no matter who finds it first. As long as Shen Yaochu can be found, it's fine...

In the distance, Aunt Li was looking at Gao Yuchuan and the two children worriedly and let out a long sigh.

When she thought of the fearless expression on Gao Yuchuan's face as he walked step by step towards the sea, she felt a pang of fear.

Gao Yuchuan's behavior made Aunt Li feel that he wanted nothing anymore and just wanted to follow Shen Yaochu and leave this world.

Aunt Li couldn't help but sigh at the shocking despair and coldness. He really loved Shen Yaochu so much.

If it weren't for BoBo and CiCi, she had no doubt that Gao Yuchuan would not be able to hold on.

Aunt Li discovered it in time and asked BoBo and CiCi to call him, which stopped him from rushing forward recklessly.

Fortunately, she found out.

……

As night falls, the wind at the seaside gradually cools down, bringing a hint of coolness.

CiCi sneezed, and Gao Yuchuan realized that it was time to go back to the hotel.

Gao Yuchuan held the hands of his two children and walked and chatted along the street lights.

"Dad, didn't we disappear here before?" CiCi asked suddenly.

Gao Yuchuan's body stiffened, and Shen Yaochu's desperate and frightened face flashed through his mind.

He nodded: "Yeah, you still remember?"

"I remember." CiCi nodded vigorously: "I was so scared, luckily my brother is smart!"

At this point, CiCi sighed: "My brother is smarter than me, he should be able to find mom before me, right? Right, Dad?"

Gao Yuchuan was a little speechless, but he still responded: "Didn't my brother say that as long as we can find it, whoever finds it first will get a gift."

"Okay!" CiCi didn't look very interested: "It's a bit difficult. Mom is too good at hiding."

Gao Yuchuan curled his lips and forced a bitter smile: "Yeah, she is too good at hiding..."

He hid it so well that not only the two children couldn't find it, but even he and his men, and Old Mrs. Gao couldn't find it.

She seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace. If it weren't for the things in the house that were not taken away and the memories they shared, Gao Yuchuan would even have doubted whether Shen Yaochu had ever existed.

"Dad." A child's voice came softly, interrupting Gao Yuchuan's thoughts.

Gao Yuchuan lowered his head and looked at BoBo, who was holding his other hand: "Hmm?"

BoBo lowered his head and frowned. Under the dim street lights, Gao Yuchuan couldn't see his expression clearly. He could only hear his voice that sounded aggrieved and suppressed.

"I'm not looking for gifts." BoBo said, "I just want to find my mother."

The night was as dark as ink, and everything was silent. Only the sound of waves gently hitting the rocks on the shore echoed in the night.

Warm yellow light shone through the window of the room, illuminating Gao Yuchuan's lonely figure outside the window.

Gao Yuchuan was tall and had broad shoulders, as if he could bear all the wind and rain, but you could also clearly see that his shoulders were slightly drooping as if he couldn't bear the weight. His hair fluttered gently in the night wind, and a few strands of hair covered his eyes, but they couldn't hide the deep light in his eyes.

Gao Yuchuan stood at the door. Behind him was the room of the hotel villa with two children inside. He didn't dare to go far, but felt the room was too depressing, so he came out to get some fresh air.

He had his hands in his pockets, a cigarette between his fingertips, the flame dancing in the darkness, illuminating his angular face.

Gao Yuchuan's eyes were blurred and deep, as if he was staring at the distant horizon, or as if he was recalling every bit of the past. His brows were slightly furrowed, revealing an indescribable confusion and loneliness.

He took a deep breath of smoke and exhaled slowly. The smoke dissipated in the night sky, but it could not take away his pain.

At this moment, the cell phone in Gao Yuchuan's pocket suddenly vibrated, breaking the tranquility of the night.

He lowered his head slightly and took out his cell phone from his pocket. The screen showed an incoming call from his assistant. He gently pressed the answer button and put the phone close to his ear.

"Mr. Gao, there's an emergency." Assistant Fang's voice came through the microphone, sounding a little nervous.

"Speak." Gao Yuchuan's voice was low and calm, just like the sea breeze in the middle of the night.

Assistant Fang: "Mu Yian's massive selling of shares in the company has caused quite a stir."

Gao Yuchuan took a light puff of cigarette, and the smoke slowly dissipated in the night sky.

His eyes were still looking at the distant horizon, and his emotions did not seem to be affected at all by Assistant Fang's words.

"Got it." He responded calmly, with a hint of indifference in his voice.

In fact, Gao Yuchuan had long known that the shares that he and his grandfather had given to Shen Yaochu were in Mu Yian's hands.

But to him, these shares were just a game in Gao's company. What he cared more about was where Shen Yaochu was.

"Is there anything else?" Gao Yuchuan asked. He withdrew his gaze from the sea, lowered his head to put out the cigarette in his hand, and turned to the mobile phone in his hand.

"No more." Assistant Fang was infected by Gao Yuchuan's calmness, and his voice gradually calmed down: "I just want to ask you, do you want to intervene? Buy back the shares?"

"Wait and see. She won't sell easily. She wants to use these shares to stir up trouble. Just wait and see." Gao Yuchuan said in a deep voice

"clear."

"Okay, that's it." Gao Yuchuan was about to hang up the phone, but then he seemed to remember something: "Where is Mu Yian now?"

Gao Yuchuan looked into the distance again, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Gao Yuchuan didn't care about Mu Yian's sale of shares. What he really wanted to know was Shen Yaochu's whereabouts.

But in this situation where there are no clues at all, everyone related to Shen Yaochu is important.

"She took up a post at Gao's and became President Mu."

Gao Yuchuan frowned: "..."

-------------------------------------

An indescribable emotion surged in Gao Yuchuan's heart, as if something was tightly gripping his heart.

He didn't care about the shares in Mu Yian's hands, nor did he care what Mu Yian did with these shares.

But how did Mu Yian know that Shen Yaochu was leaving and how did he get these shares? This is what is crucial to Gao Yuchuan.

In the night, Gao Yuchuan's figure looked even lonelier. He lit up a cigarette again, took a deep puff, and turned the anxiety in his heart into a wisp of smoke that drifted slowly with the sea breeze.

"I will go see her when I get back." Gao Yuchuan said in a hoarse and deep voice.

"Okay." Assistant Fang paused and asked cautiously, "Do you want to talk to her about the shares?"

"I don't care about the shares." Gao Yuchuan's eyes were slightly cold: "But I want to know who she contacted to know that Yaochu was leaving. I want to find the last person who contacted Yaochu to find out why Yaochu decided to leave."

Assistant Fang was a little surprised: "You don't believe the note your wife left for you?"

Gao Yuchuan lowered his eyes, his gaze fixed dully on the distant beach that was gleaming with a faint silver light, as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to the moment that broke his heart.

He hurried home that day, and the moment he opened the door, a cold atmosphere hit him, which made him shudder. There was no one in the house, only the children's toys scattered on the floor, as if telling that the owner had left.

Shen Yaochu disappeared without taking anything with him, and even left a note.

The white note lay quietly. Gao Yuchuan seemed to have a premonition, but he didn't dare to go forward and pick it up to read.

It was not until he searched the entire house and still couldn't find Shen Yaochu that he finally gave up and picked up the note with difficulty.

The handwriting on the note was elegant and decisive, like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

"Gao Yuchuan, I don't want you to see my last appearance, nor do I want to see you forbearing because of my emotions. My life is perfect, without any regrets. Please forget me and continue your life. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye, please take good care of our children and love them for me. And, I love you, Gao Yuchuan. - Shen Yaochu."

When Gao Yuchuan looked at these words, he seemed to see Shen Yaochu's tearful eyes. Those eyes that were once full of love and tenderness were now full of helplessness and determination.

Gao Yuchuan held the note tightly, and the next second, the sky outside gradually darkened.

……

Assistant Fang just asked him if he didn't believe the note Shen Yaochu left for her.

Of course he didn't believe it.

He didn't believe that all this was true, and didn't believe that Shen Yaochu would leave him, Bobo and CiCi.

"I don't believe it." Gao Yuchuan's voice was low and firm, revealing his unquestionable determination.

He raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with complex light: "There must be something fishy about this."

"You mean..." Assistant Fang's voice was a little tense: "You think your wife didn't leave voluntarily?"

Gao Yuchuan slowly exhaled a puff of green smoke, his voice hoarse and low: "The shares in Yaochu's hands were given by me and my grandfather. She loves BoBo and CiCi so much, there is no way she would give the shares to others."

"Now, the equity has suddenly been transferred to Mu Yian. This is definitely not a coincidence." Gao Yuchuan's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty. He clenched his fists and said his guess: "Since Mu Yian and Gao Yushan are still in contact, there must be some hidden deal between them. I suspect that Yao Chu's sudden disappearance is related to them. Otherwise, the equity would not be in their hands."

Assistant Fang was shocked: "This..."

Gao Yuchuan looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see through the hypocrisy and lies of this world, his eyes were full of determination: "So, I must find Yao Chu, alive or dead."

"..."

The afternoon sun shines through the window into Gao Yushan's room. Golden spots of light dance on the floor, but the air is filled with a faint sense of weariness.

Gao Yushan sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing deep fatigue.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa, making a rhythmic sound.

He seemed to be shrouded in a thick haze, and even his breathing seemed heavy.

He rubbed his sore shoulders and took a deep breath, trying to breathe all the fatigue of the day into his lungs and then exhale it all at once.

Curling down on the sofa, Gao Yushan felt confused as he recalled what his assistant and Gao Yuanbin had said.

Mu Yian holds Shen Yaochu's shares, which are not small in total and can almost determine who will own Gao's shares next.

He knew the importance of these shares, and no matter how hard he struggled, he had to accept Mu Yian's request.

Thinking of this, Gao Yushan became even more annoyed.

Gao Yushan took a deep breath and finally took out his phone. His fingers slid quickly across the screen and finally stopped at the chat interface with Mu Yian.

He casually sent a message to Mu Yian.

【Let’s find a time to meet. 】

Without waiting for Mu Yian's reply, Gao Yushan's eyes flashed with impatience, and he threw the phone on the sofa in annoyance, making a dull thud.

Gao Yushan got up from the sofa and decided to go to the garden to get some fresh air.

The garden is quiet and beautiful in the afternoon. The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and falls on the petals, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to this green space.

Walking along the garden path, with the breeze blowing on his face, it should have been pleasant and refreshing, but it still couldn't blow away the dissatisfaction and depression in his heart.

When Gao Yushan looked up, the figure of a girl in front of him attracted his attention.

She was wearing an elegant white long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently with her movements, like a blooming lily.

Her long hair was simply tied behind her head, revealing a pretty face.

As if she felt Gao Yushan's gaze on her, the girl raised her head and inadvertently looked at Gao Yushan.

The girl's eyes were as clear as lake water, her nose was high, her lips were slightly upturned, and she looked straight over and met Gao Yushan's gaze.

The girl's eyes were a little cold and distant, as if to say that she didn't like being disturbed.

But when the girl met Gao Yushan's eyes, she was slightly stunned.

And it wasn't just Gao Yushan who was stunned by this eye contact.

The girl in front of him had a similar coldness and arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes as Shen Yaochu, and that temperament seemed to emanate from her bones.

Gao Yushan's throat slid up and down lightly, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Yao Chu..."

"..."
