To seduce her

"I need your help to take care of the old house."

Gao Yushan looked at Xia Yizhu, with a hint of smile in his eyes. He seemed to see through the girl's thoughts, and his tone was gentle and calm.

Xia Yizhu's eyes were originally shining with determination, as if she would give everything without hesitation as long as Gao Yushan asked for it.

But it was obvious that Gao Yushan's response was beyond her expectations.

Xia Yizhu was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised, and even felt a little disappointed...

This is not quite what I imagined.

But the more different they were, the more Xia Yizhui felt that Gao Yushan was different from other men.

Xia Yizhui silently lowered his head, looking at the green grass under his feet, feeling mixed emotions.

Taking care of the garden was her job, but in her opinion, this did not seem enough to repay Gao Yushan for saving her many times and the huge amount of 500,000 yuan.

But she understood that no matter what Gao Yushan asked, she should try her best to fulfill it because it was her promise to him.

Xia Yizhu nodded and said softly, "Okay, I'm glad you can use me."

Gao Yushan showed a satisfied smile on his face and said, "Since you are willing to help me, then we are friends. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me for help. As long as I can do it."

"Friends..." Xia Yizhui was stunned again.

She was well aware of the gap between her and him, whether in social status, life experience or other aspects, there was an unignorable gap.

A complex emotion inexplicably surged in Xia Yizhuo's heart.

She was grateful to Gao Yushan for coming down from the sky and giving her help and warmth like a great gift.

But Xia Yizhui also clearly realized that her feelings for him could not be defined by the word "friend".

Xia Yizu lowered her head, not daring to face her own thoughts. She was afraid that her little thoughts would be exposed, and even more afraid that she would be pushed away by him because of it.

She avoided Gao Yushan's gaze, not daring to look him in the eye, and immersed herself in the awkward silence.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yushan said in a relaxed tone, bending down slightly and looking down at her: "You don't want me to be your friend?"

Xia Yizhu immediately raised his head, waved his hands and shook his head, and said in a panic: "No, Mr. Gao, you misunderstood! I do!"

Gao Yushan's eyes flashed with a smile: "That's good, if you need any help, just tell me."

Xia Yizhu nodded: "I see, thank you for always helping me."

"Yeah." Gao Yushan said softly, "You continue to take care of it. I'll just rest here in the sun."

"it is good……"

----

Gao Yushan sat on a bench in the garden. The sunlight shone on his body through the gaps between the leaves, giving him a golden halo.

He was absent-minded from time to time, and then gently fell on the busy Xia Yizhui.

Xia Yizhui's figure looked particularly soft in the sunlight, her long hair fluttering gently in the wind, as if blending into the surrounding nature.

She was wearing a very plain long skirt, which looked to be made of poor material and cut, and was loose.

But when worn by Xia Yizu, it looks different.

Looking at Xia Yizhuo's back, Gao Yushan was a little dazed.

Her figure and appearance, even the coldness and aloofness when she was alone, really resembled Shen Yaochu.

But once she opened her mouth to speak, her timid appearance was nothing like Shen Yaochu.

Shen Yaochu is reserved and elegant, while Xia Yizhuo can only be described as introverted and soft.

Shen Yaochu's temperament is always confident and calm, but Xia Yizhuo is just clear but uneasy.

Xia Yizhu always gave him a sense of timidity. Every move she made seemed cautious, as if she was trying hard to adapt to this strange world.

Looking at Xia Yizhui, Gao Yushan became confused again.

Shen Yaochu...is he really dead?

In front of him, Shen Yaochu was always neither humble nor arrogant, noble and elegant. Her gentleness and stability were something Xia Yizhu could never achieve.

The only time he saw Shen Yaochu show that timid and pitiful look was...

It’s still because of Gao Yuchuan.

Gao Yushan lowered his eyes, a hint of self-mockery appearing at the corner of his lips.

It’s not that Shen Yaochu didn’t look timid at all, it’s that side of her was only because of Gao Yuchuan.

……

Gao Yushan's thoughts drifted away, when suddenly, a rapid ring from a cell phone interrupted his contemplation.

He took out his cell phone and the screen showed an incoming call from his assistant.

Gao Yushan picked up the phone: "What's the matter?"

"..." The assistant was stunned by Gao Yushan's question. After a while, he said, "Have you... arrived?"

Gao Yushan then woke up from his dream and remembered that he was originally going to meet Mu Yian and the lawyer.

He was going to talk to Mu Yian about marriage.

This kind of thing always requires courage. Once you get discouraged, it's hard to get in the mood to do it again.

Gao Yushan was somewhat reluctant, and replied calmly, "I have something urgent to do, so I won't go. Let's change the time."

"But..." The assistant's voice was helpless: "When the lawyer was waiting at the door, Miss Mu saw him and let him in first. They were already talking."

Gao Yushan frowned, knowing that this matter could not be delayed any longer. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said, "Okay, I understand, I'll go over right away."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yushan sighed lightly and looked in the direction of Xia Yizhuo again, only to find that she had left the garden at some point.

Gao Yushan shook his head slightly, withdrew his thoughts from the girl, tidied his clothes, and then walked outside.

……

When Xia Yizhui came out, Gao Yushan, who was originally sitting on the bench, had disappeared.

She looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of him again, but every corner of the garden was empty.

Xia Yizhui looked down at the still warm cup in her hand, which was filled with the scented tea she had carefully brewed.

She originally saw Gao Yushan was outside basking in the sun and might be a little thirsty, so she washed her hands and went to make tea for him, but she didn't expect that she couldn't deliver it to him.

The feeling of loss surged into Xia Yizhui's heart like a tide, and he felt an inexplicable melancholy.

Just then, the servant followed her, came out and stood behind her.

"Ms. Xia, how are you adapting?"

Xia Yizhu shuddered, and turned back to look at the servant nervously. Her eyes wandered, not daring to look him in the eye: "It's okay, everyone is fine..."

"Yes, we are all servants from the Gao family. We have taken care of Master Yushan for many years." The servant smiled, his eyes seemed to see through everything, and sighed: "Maybe it's because Master Yushan is good, so everyone is also good."

The servant paused, then added: "Everyone likes him very much."

Xia Yizhu nodded, but she could hear something behind the servant's words. She lowered her head and said, "Yes... Mr. Gao is a very good person. I am very grateful."
