To seduce her

Shen Yaochu turned her head slightly and her eyes met Gao Yuchuan unexpectedly.

In the hall, lights are scattered like stars, illuminating every corner and every person.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Being stared at by such deep and ardent eyes, Shen Yaochu felt her heartbeat quicken and her soul seemed to be pierced through.

Shen Yaochu's face turned paler and her body stiffened involuntarily.

She wanted to look away, but her gaze was fixed by Gao Yuchuan's deep eyes.

Everything around them became blurry, and it seemed that only the two of them stood out clearly under the light.

Xu Yuzheng gasped beside him: "What..."

Shen Yaochu finally came to her senses and looked away, but in her peripheral vision, she could still see Gao Yuchuan's tall figure walking towards them.

"Let me explain." Gao Yuchuan stared at Shen Yaochu, and his words were indeed directed at Xu Yuzheng who had just raised the question: "Shen Yaochu and I are not divorced, so I am not her ex-husband, but her husband."

Gao Yuchuan took a step forward and approached Shen Yaochu: "Right? Mrs. Gao."

"..."

Shen Yaochu subconsciously looked behind Gao Yuchuan. There were many people present, and their eyes followed Gao Yuchuan and fell on the two of them.

Whispers rose and fell in the banquet hall, like a breeze blowing across the water, creating ripples, and everyone's eyes were filled with surprise and gossip.

Shen Yaochu's expression changed slightly. When she was with Gao Yuchuan before, she often received this kind of gaze.

But after a year, she actually felt a little unfamiliar and even felt an inexplicable pressure.

Originally, she just wanted to quietly accompany Xu Yuzheng to attend the forum meeting, but now, she has inexplicably become the focus of everyone's attention.

It can’t be said to be inexplicable, after all, it was because of Gao Yuchuan.

Shen Yaochu withdrew his gaze and no longer cared about those people's gazes, pretending to be oblivious to the people around him just like Gao Yuchuan.

She didn't deny it, but she didn't admit it either. She just said to Xu Yuzheng, "Xiao Zheng, thank you for notifying me. I'll go to the bathroom with you."

Shen Yaochu ran back to remind her of what she said before responding to Xu Yuzheng.

Xu Yuzheng's eyes moved back and forth between Gao Yuchuan and Shen Yaochu. Knowing that Shen Yaochu was looking for an opportunity to escape, she nodded quickly: "Okay, okay..."

Seeing Shen Yaochu turning around to leave, Gao Yuchuan frowned slightly and took half a step forward.

Shen Yaochu seemed to be scalded. She stepped back subconsciously and looked at him straight.

As if asking, didn’t you agree that you wouldn’t force her again?

Gao Yuchuan's body stiffened and his face instantly darkened, but he really didn't force it anymore and let Shen Yaochu leave.

"..."

Until Shen Yaochu's figure disappeared from sight, the aura around Gao Yuchuan became heavier. He swept his cold eyes over those who were secretly watching them and forced those gazes away.

It seems that Shen Yaochu really doesn't want to be Mrs. Gao anymore.

----

Holding Shen Yaochu's arm in hand, Xu Yuzheng came to the bathroom. Her eyes flickered, as if she had thousands of words to say, but her mouth seemed to be tightly sealed by an invisible thread, as if she was hesitant to speak.

Her fingers kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes, revealing her inner anxiety and gossip.

Shen Yaochu knew what she wanted to ask. After all, it was normal for a young girl to be curious.

But for now, she didn't want to say anything.

Shen Yaochu pretended not to notice Xu Yuzheng's abnormality. She smiled faintly, turned and walked towards an empty toilet cubicle.

After closing the door, she leaned against it, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her inner turmoil.

But whenever she thought of Gao Yuchuan striding towards her, Shen Yaochu's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her heart.

Shen Yaochu never thought that she would see Gao Yuchuan at this forum on integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Why did he come?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a faint discussion outside the bathroom. Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear in the silent space.

"I just got here. What happened just now? How come I heard there was some big gossip?"

"It's a pity for you that you didn't see anything!"

"What's going on?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The woman who responded laughed mysteriously twice before lowering her voice and explaining to the other party.

Shen Yaochu was not interested in gossip, so he raised his hand to open the door of the compartment and leave.

But just as she put her hand on the door handle, a woman's muffled voice came from outside.

"Did you see Mr. Gao just now?"

Shen Yaochu was stunned and stood still.

The people outside continued to say: "I saw it. I didn't expect Gao's Group to send someone to participate in this kind of forum meeting. What happened to him?"

"This forum was originally hosted by him, so it's normal for him to come." The woman chuckled: "We are all guessing now, he probably came here for his wife."

"Ah? His wife?!" The woman who asked the question raised her voice in surprise: "Isn't his wife dead?"

"Shhh!!! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense? Doesn't the whole of Lukang know that his wife died of illness?"

"Yes, everyone thought so, but..." The woman paused.

Another woman asked anxiously, "What? Tell me now!"

"His wife is here, everyone just saw it!"

"what?!"

"Well, his wife has faked her own death several times. Now everyone is completely convinced that his wife is trying to get his money and shares, and then she ran away with the money after selling them." The woman said, "I don't know how she managed to fake her own death and escape, but she came back again."

"Oh my god, no way? This is so exciting! Could it be that the money he took away was spent, so it came back again?"

"It's possible, but who knows? No one has any evidence." The woman smiled and said, "We are just reading gossip. Only he knows the specific situation."

"That's amazing! I should have come earlier. I regret it so much..."

"..."

The sounds outside gradually faded away, until the footsteps disappeared, and Shen Yaochu's tense body relaxed a little.

She leaned against the wall of the compartment, a little dazed.

So everyone in Lukang thinks of her this way?

But...what did she lie to Gao Yuchuan about?

Before she left, she asked her lawyer to return all the shares to Gao Yuchuan. She never took any money from Gao Yuchuan.

Shen Yaochu's eyes were slightly red, and she choked slightly in her throat, suppressing her emotions.

In the quiet bathroom, there was a sudden knock on the door.

There were two "knock knock" sounds, and Xu Yuzheng's voice came from outside.

"Sister Yaochu, are you...are you okay?"

Shen Yaochu said "hmm" and raised his hand to open the door of the compartment.

Xu Yuzheng looked at Shen Yaochu with embarrassment: "Sister, I didn't expect this to happen, otherwise let's go..."

"No need." Shen Yaochu looked up at Xu Yuzheng: "I have a clear conscience, no need to leave."

"..."
