To seduce her

Shen Yaochu held the phone tightly, his palms sweating slightly.

Her heartbeat seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and every beat was accompanied by tension and anticipation.

Shen Yaochu's eyes were fixed on the cell phone, its smooth surface sparkling with charming luster under the light.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner tension, but the movement of her fingertips sliding lightly across the screen betrayed her emotions.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to enter the phone number that she had already memorized. Each digit was like a heavy note, striking at her nervous heartstrings.

"Beep-beep-beep" the dialing sound of the mobile phone echoed in her ears, and each sound seemed to be knocking on Shen Yaochu's heart.

At that moment, time seemed to be stretched, and every second seemed particularly long.

Her heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest, and the tension spread through her body like an electric current.

Shen Yaochu held his breath and waited for a response.

Shen Yaochu could almost imagine the excitement they felt the moment Gao Yuchuan answered the phone.

Would he ask BoBo and CiCi to answer the phone? Should the two children be in school at this time?

They...are a little older now, right?

Shen Yaochu thought about it, and her eyes turned slightly red.

She really missed them so much...

But the response I was waiting for did not come as expected. The waiting time seemed to be longer than usual, and that familiar voice never appeared.

There was a busy tone on the other end of the phone, which made Shen Yaochu look confused and anxious.

She fiddled with the phone in her hand nervously, glancing at the screen from time to time, hoping that the green connected sign would suddenly appear.

Until the screen returned to darkness, all of Shen Yaochu's expectations and hopes turned into nothing at this moment.

Is he busy? Shen Yaochu thought.

This time was just before getting off work in the afternoon, and perhaps the workaholic Gao Yuchuan was immersed in his pile of documents, so it was normal for him not to answer the phone.

Shen Yaochu thought about it, and the finger that wanted to dial the number again stopped in mid-air, and ultimately did not press it.

Shen Yaochu slowly grasped the phone back into her palm, and her mood also sank.

It was impossible to say that she was not disappointed, but she could understand it. Gao Yuchuan had no reason to answer the call from such an unfamiliar number.

When he is free, he can answer it.

Shen Yaochu exhaled slowly, recalled his master's phone number, and dialed it.

The familiar and warm voice of the old Chinese doctor soon came from the other end of the phone: "Yao Chu?"

Shen Yaochu was a little surprised: "Master, it's me, how did you know?"

"The call from Lukang must be you." The old Chinese doctor chuckled.

"Well, I've returned to Lukang." Shen Yaochu smiled and said, "You asked me to let you know I'm safe."

The old Chinese doctor asked with concern: "Have you returned? Have you seen your husband and children?"

Shen Yaochu paused slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "I haven't gone back yet, and I haven't seen them yet."

The old Chinese doctor seemed to hear the disappointment in her tone and consoled her, "Didn't you contact your husband?"

"Maybe he's busy." Shen Yaochu explained: "I'll contact him later."

"Well, don't worry too much. Some things can't be rushed. Since you have decided to go back, just take it step by step." The old Chinese doctor said, "By the way, I still remind you to go to the hospital in Lukang for a more detailed examination. The equipment in the town hospital is not as sophisticated as the one in Lukang, so you should check it as carefully as possible."

"Understood. When I return to see them, I will arrange a time to check. Thank you, Master."

Shen Yaochu felt a little sad when he said this. Some words that he had not said in person came to his mind at this moment: "Thank you for saving me and encouraging me. Otherwise... a year ago, Shen Yaochu would have disappeared from this world."

The old Chinese doctor smiled proudly: "This is what I should do. You are just one of the stepping stones for me to go to heaven after my death. There is no need to thank me!"

Listening to the old Chinese doctor's joke, Shen Yaochu was even more moved. She knew that her master didn't want her to bear too much burden.

"I'll find time to come up and see you."

The old Chinese doctor said: "Okay, I'll wait for you to bring the child."

"Okay." Shen Yaochu's voice trembled slightly.

"Yaochu." The old Chinese doctor stopped talking and laughing, and suddenly sighed, saying earnestly: "Since you have died once, do everything you want to do and should do. Love and hate as much as you want, understand?"

"..."

----

There were footsteps on the stairs. The busy servant looked up and his expression instantly became nervous.

Gao Yuchuan walked down slowly, his face as dark as the dark clouds before a storm. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

When the servant saw Gao Yuchuan's expression and felt the cold aura around him, his heart tightened and the rag in his hand almost slipped.

Gao Yuchuan's aura was powerful and oppressive, as if the air around him was ignited by his anger, becoming hot and heavy, making the servants unconsciously afraid.

She knew that she had done something wrong, which made Gao Yuchuan so angry.

The servant took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and took the initiative to step forward.

"Master Yuchuan, I'm sorry, I know I did something wrong." The servant apologized in a low voice, his voice full of tension and guilt.

Gao Yuchuan stopped in front of the servant and stared at her coldly, as if he wanted to see through her with his eyes.

He pursed his thin lips and said nothing, but the servant became even more nervous.

"I'm sorry, Master Yuchuan, I shouldn't have let anyone upstairs without permission." The servant lowered his head even more.

Gao Yuchuan opened his thin lips slightly, his voice low and cold: "Why did that woman appear here?"

Gao Yuchuan's voice made people feel as if a chill was pressing into their hearts. The servant trembled all over when he looked at him, but still tried to stay calm and explained: "Master Yuchuan, the old lady allowed it. The gardener at home took leave recently, and we couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being. Master Yushan arranged for his florist to help with the flowers and plants in the garden."

Hearing this, Gao Yuchuan frowned even more tightly.

Gao Yuchuan could understand that the old gardener of the Gao family was away and someone was needed to take care of the garden, but Mrs. Gao trusted Gao Yushan too much.

Maybe in grandma's eyes, Gao Yushan is also a good person.

Gao Yuchuan asked: "Has grandma seen her?"

The servant was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Gao Yuchuan meant: "No, no..."

Gao Yuchuan sneered: "From now on, you are not allowed to let her in without my permission. I don't want any unauthorized strangers to appear in my house again."

"Ok!"
