To seduce her

"Yao Chu, why did you do this to me? Is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Gao Yuchuan's voice is low and hoarse, with his own unique magnetism.

Shen Yaochu stood at the threshold, with a distance between him and Gao Yuchuan that was neither far nor close.

So, didn't he know he had seen it all?

Shen Yaochu took a deep breath, her eyes slightly red, crystal tears swirled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Shen Yaochu retracted his hands, clenched them into fists and hung them on both sides of his body: "Some things cannot be explained in a few words. I need time now to sort out my thoughts and face some problems that I must face."

When Gao Yuchuan heard this, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He always felt that if he gave her more time to let her face it on her own, everything would only get worse.

Gao Yuchuan stood up straight and wanted to reach out to comfort Shen Yaochu, but he was afraid that his actions would make her even more disgusted.

He could only stare at her without blinking. "What kind of mess are you thinking about? You finally came back, how can I let you face it alone?"

Shen Yaochu lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding the complex emotions in her eyes.

She wanted to say something, but she just didn't know how to start.

Is she going to ask "Why did you find a substitute for me?"

Or should we ask, “Did you let that stand-in leave after I came back?”

Or is it to assert sovereignty and say, "The children have a good relationship with my substitute, but I am their biological mother"?

How could she open her mouth?

Shen Yaochu choked up in her throat, and could only clench her fists tightly, saying coldly: "I'll think about it first, and you can go now."

After saying that, Shen Yaochu no longer listened to anything Gao Yuchuan said and reached out to close the door of the Chinese medicine clinic again.

Gao Yuchuan obviously anticipated her action and quickly put his foot against the crack of the door again, trying to prevent it from closing.

"Yao Chu..." Gao Yuchuan still had something to say, and he used his feet to block the door, showing no intention of retreating.

Shen Yaochu frowned slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She gripped the door handle tightly and pulled it hard.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the door slammed shut and Gao Yuchuan's foot was caught in the gap of the door.

"hiss--"

Gao Yuchuan subconsciously withdrew his foot in pain, and Shen Yaochu took advantage of the situation to close the door and lock it.

As expected, as proud as Gao Yuchuan was, he did not knock on the door after being rejected twice.

Shen Yaochu exhaled slowly, not knowing whether he should feel lucky.

Shen Yaochu turned around and was about to go back to her room, but was met with Assistant Fang's embarrassed expression.

Assistant Fang's face was filled with helplessness at this moment. He obviously had not expected the plot to turn out to this point.

He stood there, obviously at a loss, his eyes flickering, as if looking for a suitable explanation or excuse to resolve this sudden embarrassment.

"Um, ma'am, I...I haven't gone out yet..."

Shen Yaochu looked back at the closed door, feeling a little annoyed. She should have kicked them both out together.

Xu Yuzheng hurried over and looked at Assistant Fang seriously: "Are you going out now?"

Assistant Fang was stunned: "Well... Mr. Gao has left, so I should leave too."

"How can that be possible!" Xu Yuzheng shook her head seriously: "Sister Yaochu has closed and locked the door now because she doesn't want Mr. Gao to break in again. But what if you open the door now and he takes the opportunity to rush in?"

Xu Yuzheng looked at him suspiciously: "Or... are you just trying to let him in under the pretext of leaving?"

Assistant Fang felt a little embarrassed by what the sharp-tongued girl said. Of course, he wanted to help Gao Yuchuan out of selfishness, but after all, he didn't dare to say anything careless in front of Shen Yaochu.

Assistant Fang shook his head: "I didn't mean that, but it's getting late now, I can't disturb your rest."

"Don't bother me, don't bother me!" Xu Yuzheng pretended to be serious for only a few minutes before her little fox tail was exposed. She smiled and said, "We don't have much else in our Chinese medicine hall, but we do have a lot of empty rooms. How about you stay here tonight, and wait until you are sure that Mr. Gao has left before you go out?"

"..." Assistant Fang waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, no need."

He walked over to the wooden sofa next to him and sat down: "I'll wait here for a while, just to deal with the work. I'll leave when you tell me I can leave."

Xu Yuzheng's eyes lit up: "That's fine! I'll make you a pot of health tea, wait a moment."

"No need to bother!"

"No trouble!" Xu Yuzheng said seriously, "I am the owner here, of course I have to fulfill my responsibilities and wait with you."

"..."

Shen Yaochu naturally knew what Xu Yuzheng meant. She sighed, "Xiao Zheng!"

Xu Yuzheng laughed, then stopped laughing: "It was just a joke."

Shen Yaochu looked at Assistant Fang and said, "Just go back. He shouldn't come rushing in."

Although Shen Yaochu's words made Gao Yuchuan sound like a flood or a beast, making Assistant Fang feel a little uncomfortable, he couldn't care about anything else at this moment.

He has work to do at night, so he really can't stay here.

Assistant Fang stood up and nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll be leaving first, ma'am. Goodbye, Miss Xu, and thank Dr. Huang for me."

After saying that, Assistant Fang left in a hurry.

Shen Yaochu looked at Xu Yuzheng's unsatisfied look and sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Zheng, Assistant Fang is eight years older than you. Are you teasing her like this?"

"Eight years old? I can't tell!" Xu Yuzheng said with a smile: "Oh, it's quite interesting to tease such a serious handsome guy..."

Seeing Shen Yaochu still looking at her, Xu Yuzheng quickly waved her hands: "Okay, okay, I was just joking. Sister Yaochu, I will listen to you!"

"..."

*****

----

On the way back, it was already late at night and everything was quiet.

Gao Yuchuan was driving the car, shuttling under the dim street lights, and the atmosphere inside the car seemed particularly cold and lonely.

The car windows were closed, blocking out all the warmth from the outside world, but the interior of the car seemed to be shrouded in an invisible silence.

Gao Yuchuan held the steering wheel intently, his face looking extremely gloomy the entire time.

Suddenly, Assistant Fang called and Gao Yuchuan picked up the phone.

Assistant Fang's voice came from the car's speakers: "Mr. Gao, are you leaving?"

"Yeah." Gao Yuchuan's voice was cold.

"I've also come out of the Chinese medicine clinic." Assistant Fang said hurriedly, "Are you okay?"

"Not good." Gao Yuchuan's eyes were cold, like ice in the abyss: "Go and check what happened to Shen Yaochu in the past year, why did she suddenly change so much."

"I understand..." Assistant Fang responded. He paused and said cautiously, "But... Mr. Gao, Miss Shen seems to be interested in me. How about you use me and see if you can find a way to get closer to the lady more often?"

"...?"

Assistant Fang cleared his throat a little embarrassedly: "I heard that the president's assistant has such a role?"

"..."
