To seduce her

The moonlight was just right, shining through the gaps in the curtains and casting patches of light into Shen Yaochu's quiet room.

She sat by the window, her hands folded on her knees, staring at the deep night sky outside the window with a dazed look, as if she was looking for answers or reflecting on herself.

The room was filled with a faint scent of herbs, but it could not dispel the confusion and hesitation in her heart.

Her brows were furrowed, her thoughts tangled like a mess of threads, and for a moment, she didn't even know whether what she had done was right or wrong.

Just then, at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, interrupting her thoughts.

"Sister Yaochu, are you in the room?" It was Xu Yuzheng.

Shen Yaochu came back to his senses, responded softly, and the door slowly opened.

Xu Yuzheng's face was filled with excitement and anticipation, as if bringing a spring breeze.

"Sister! I'm back!" Xu Yuzheng trotted to Shen Yaochu, her eyes sparkling, and she described the grand occasion of the venue to Shen Yaochu with her hands and feet dancing: "In fact, today is just the preparation, but you can see that the scale is really large! I heard that several masters of combining Chinese and Western medicine will be here!"

"Really?" Shen Yaochu's thoughts were finally brought back from Gao Yuchuan. She looked at Xu Yuzheng, and was infected by her excitement. She chuckled, "It seems that your willingness to participate is the right choice."

"Yes! Fortunately, I listened to your plan and went to participate!" Xu Yuzheng's words were full of love for Chinese medicine culture: "I will definitely learn a lot when I go there tomorrow! When I come back, I can brag about it in front of Master, haha!"

Xu Yuzheng reached out and took Shen Yaochu's hand: "Sister Yaochu, you must accompany me tomorrow! If I say or do anything wrong, you must remind me in time!"

"Okay." Shen Yaochu nodded, but his response seemed a little absent-minded.

Xu Yuzheng seemed to be lost in memories, and she rambled on: "And I told you, I saw a very handsome guy today. I always felt like I had seen him somewhere, but I couldn't quite remember where... I thought about it later, and I suspected that there was some kind of fate between him and me, hehe! I asked someone else, and he said he was a staff member. I'll show him to you tomorrow. He's really handsome!"

"..."

Shen Yaochu tried her best to make herself look more engaged, but her eyes revealed a barely perceptible trace of fatigue and helplessness.

Xu Yuzheng's heated head gradually cooled down and she calmed down. Only then did she realize that something was wrong with Shen Yaochu.

She looked at Shen Yaochu with concern: "What's wrong with you? You don't look very happy..."

Shen Yaochu smiled, trying to hide her tiredness and worries. She shook her head gently and said, "It's okay. I'm just a little tired and want to rest first. Otherwise, I won't have the energy to go out with you tomorrow."

"Ah! Okay, okay, sorry, I'm too excited!" Xu Yuzheng smiled apologetically, her tone full of understanding and consideration: "Then Sister Yaochu, go and have a rest, I won't bother you anymore. Let's go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Forum together tomorrow, I will be very happy!"

"it is good."

Xu Yuzheng trotted out of Shen Yaochu's room again, and the room instantly became quiet.

It’s strange, even though it was the same quiet night and the same quiet room, Shen Yaochu’s heart couldn’t calm down.

Shen Yaochu took a deep breath, but there was still a feeling of tightness in his chest that was difficult to relieve.

She thought about it and called Lidya Su.

Lidya Su quickly answered the phone: "Hello? Yao Chu!"

"Xiaoxiao." Shen Yaochu paused, the phone pressed against her ear, her voice sounded a little low and confused in the night: "Gao Yuchuan came to the Chinese medicine hall."

"Ah?" Lidya Su's voice immediately became nervous: "What? Why did he suddenly come to the Chinese medicine clinic to find you? Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?"

Shen Yaochu sighed softly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice: "I'm fine, and he's fine too, and he said..."

"say what?!"

"He said he wouldn't force me anymore." There was a slight tremor in Shen Yaochu's voice.

When Shen Yaochu said this, she realized that she was actually lost.

Lidya Su sighed softly on the other end of the phone. She thought for a moment, then slowly said, “So what do you think?”

"This should be... the best outcome, right?" Shen Yaochu's expression flickered: "He said he would not force me, nor would he stop me from seeing the child."

"No way?" Su Xiao said in disbelief: "Can he really let go just like that? Why don't I believe it..."

"Huh? Why don't you believe it?"

Su Xiao said seriously: "Although his act of 'looking for a substitute' is very dirty, it can be seen that it is because he has feelings for you. Now that he knows that you are still alive and have returned to Lukang, he should feel very guilty and chase you! After all, he has been frantically looking for you all over the world for a year, and it is not false."

Shen Yaochu frowned slightly: "Xiaoxiao...Are men really like this? Can't they control their lower body and can't stand a little loneliness?"

At this point, Shen Yaochu realized that she was very angry about Gao Yuchuan's behavior.

During this year, the whole world knew that he was frantically looking for her, but who knew what she had gone through to survive and recover?

She went through so much just to return to him and the children as soon as possible.

But what did Gao Yuchuan do?

"Men are really not trustworthy." Su Xiao sighed, "Forget it, I've thought about it, if you really can't stand it, just divorce him and take the kids over! At worst, I can raise them with you, anyway, looking at my condition, I guess I can't get married and have kids. I'll help you take care of BoBo and CiCi, these two kids may be able to support me in my old age, they must have a bright future!"

Shen Yaochu smiled helplessly, but felt a little more relaxed: "Can you take care of the child, Xiaoxiao?"

"If you don't know how to do it, just learn! What are you afraid of!" Su Xiao said with a smile: "Anyway, Gao Yuchuan loves the child, the child support will definitely not be less, and the children's quality of life will not decline. Don't be afraid!"

Shen Yaochu lowered her eyes. Yes, fortunately, Gao Yuchuan still loved Bobo and CiCi very much.

Even if they divorce, the two children will not lose anyone's love.

"Okay, Yaochu, don't think about it. Maybe everything is not that bad after all." Su Xiao comforted him softly, "Anyway, you are in good health now, and you are back in Lukang and can see the children often. Isn't this already a blessing?"

Shen Yaochu blinked: "Yeah..."

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

The early morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, softly outlining the figures of the two people.

Xia Yizu slowly woke up in Gao Yushan's arms. Her eyelids trembled slightly, like a butterfly spreading its wings to fly, and finally slowly opened.

The moment he saw Gao Yushan, Xia Yizhuo's misty eyes suddenly brightened.

Gao Yushan's familiar and gentle face reflected in her eyes, and Xia Yizhuo couldn't help feeling an indescribable shyness in her heart. She subconsciously lowered her head, as if she wanted to bury her face in the quilt.

But the moment she buried her head in the quilt, she was frightened by the color of the lips under the quilt and her face turned red.

Feeling the movement around him, Gao Yushan slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Xia Yizhuo in his arms.

The man was stunned for two seconds before he finally realized what was happening.

"Good morning." Gao Yushan said softly, "How do you feel? Can you adapt?"

Feeling the care and concern in Gao Yushan's words, as well as his gaze as warm as the sun, Xia Yizhu's heart was beating fast.

She shook her head slightly, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "I'm fine... I'm fine..."

Gao Yushan's expression became more cheerful after hearing what Xia Yizhu said: "That's good. I saw you kept crying out in pain, so I thought..."

Before Gao Yushan could finish his words, Xia Yizhuo covered his mouth with shame in his eyes.

"I, I'm really fine..."

Gao Yushan chuckled, raised his hand and held the hand covering his lips, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "So, does what you said yesterday still count?"

"What?" Xia Yizhui was confused.

Gao Yushan pulled Xia Yizhu into his arms: "You said you only like me."

Xia Yizhu was stunned, and recalled the "nonsense" she said yesterday when she was in a state of confusion and passion, and her heart was in a panic.

She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look Gao Yushan in the eye, but she did not deny it either.

Gao Yushan: "Then I'll take this as your consent?"

"Don't ask anymore..." Xia Yizhui wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Gao Yushan was about to speak when the cell phone on the bedside table rang.

Gao Yushan let go of Xia Yizhui, put on his shirt, answered the phone with one hand and buttoned his shirt with the other.

Xia Yizhui covered herself completely in the quilt, leaving only her bright eyes exposed, quietly looking at Gao Yushan in the morning light. Her whole body had a gentle aura and her profile was soft.

She felt like she was dreaming.

Gao Yushan answered the phone and responded briefly.

Not knowing what the person on the other side said, Gao Yushan subconsciously glanced at Xia Yizhui, and his face gradually darkened.

But soon, Gao Yushan quickly covered it up so that Xia Yizhui did not notice anything unusual.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yushan adjusted his expression. When he turned around, he found that Xia Yizhui had already put on her clothes.

Gao Yushan smiled gently: "Not going to sleep anymore?"

"Yeah!" Xia Yizhu nodded: "The work at the old house is almost done, I want to finish it early."

"Okay." Gao Yushan paused, his eyes fell on Xia Yizhu's fair and delicate face: "But I have some things to do here, and I'm quite busy. On the one hand, I have a project to monitor, and on the other hand, I have a document to deliver. The journey is quite far, so I may not be able to take you there."

"So busy?" Xia Yizhu blinked: "Do you have to deliver the documents in person?"

"Well, it's one of those relatively important documents that I don't trust to hand over to others."

Xia Yizhu: "Is this the same document I delivered for you last time?"

"Correct."

"Then I'll help you deliver it!" Xia Yizhu tilted his head and looked at Gao Yushan: "Then you don't have to rush?"

Gao Yushan smiled, but that smile did not reach his eyes: "Really? If you can help me send it, I won't have to worry. I'm just worried that you'll be tired..."

"No!" Xia Yizhu smiled and said, "Leave it to me!"

"..."

Forum venue.

The atmosphere in the venue was solemn and warm. The entire venue was decorated in an antique style and integrated with modern elements, highlighting the unique charm of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

In the center of the venue, a huge round table was placed with various medical books and Chinese medicinal materials, exuding a faint aroma of medicine and paper and ink. The surrounding walls were hung with murals introducing the history of the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, which was a profound heritage that everyone who came could feel.

Xu Yuzheng took Shen Yaochu's arm, handed over the invitation letter, and walked slowly into the venue.

Xu Yuzheng was obviously a little nervous, and held Shen Yaochu's arm tightly: "Sister Yaochu, there are so many people..."

"Yeah." Shen Yaochu nodded, also a little surprised.

In order to make Xu Yuzheng relax, Shen Yaochu half-jokingly asked: "Where is the handsome guy you mentioned yesterday? Is he here?"

"He should be here..." Xu Yuzheng straightened her back: "Sister Yaochu, we both look so beautiful today, I don't believe he can't see it!"

Shen Yaochu chuckled, matching the new Chinese-style cheongsam she was wearing, and her whole person was full of charm.

The color of the cheongsam is light yet elegant, making Shen Yaochu's temperament even more gentle and charming.

Her hair was gently tied up and she wore an exquisite jade hairpin, which made her look both classic and generous.

The jade hairpin on her head was given to her by Old Lady Gao.

Xu Yuzheng was obviously feeling a little uneasy. She clenched her hands tightly, and her palms were full of sweat.

Xu Yuzheng approached Shen Yaochu, her voice trembling slightly, and whispered: "Sister, I'm really too nervous. I always feel panic in my heart and keep wanting to go to the toilet..."

Shen Yaochu patted her shoulder gently: "You are too nervous, go to the bathroom and relax."

"Okay! I'll be right back!"

After saying that, Xu Yuzheng grabbed the hem of her skirt and trotted to the bathroom.

Shen Yaochu looked around and his eyes finally fell on the Chinese medicinal materials on the display stand.

She didn't dare to touch it casually, but just by getting close to it, the faint fragrance of Chinese herbal medicine made her relax a lot.

Just as Shen Yaochu was about to move closer, someone suddenly grabbed her arm again.

She turned around and saw that it was Xu Yuzheng.

Shen Yaochu asked in surprise: "Didn't you go to the bathroom? Why are you back so soon?"

"Uh...Sister Yaochu..." Xu Yuzheng's face became even more embarrassed and she seemed a little at a loss.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xu Yuzheng hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Uh, I seemed to...see your ex-husband just now."

Shen Yaochu was stunned for a moment. Before she could completely come out of her previous thoughts, she was about to ask something when suddenly a familiar male voice came from behind her, low and firm.

"You misunderstood." The man said in a deep voice: "It's my husband."

Shen Yaochu's back stiffened: "..."

It's Gao Yuchuan.
