To seduce her

It was late at night, and in the dimly lit banquet hall, people were bustling about, with laughter and conversations interweaving into a prosperous background music.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Gao Yuchuan sat alone in a corner, accepting everyone's toast. As long as they toasted him, he would drink it all in one gulp.

Gao Yuchuan held a glass of dark wine in his hand, looking ahead with a dazed look in his eyes, but he didn't seem to be really focused on any point. He just mechanically repeated the actions of raising the glass, sipping it, and putting it down, one glass after another.

Assistant Fang stood not far away, looking at Gao Yuchuan from time to time, his heart full of worry.

He struggled for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to persuade: "Mr. Gao, you have already drunk a lot, why don't we go back first? Don't you still need to go home to coax BoBo and CiCi to sleep?"

Gao Yuchuan hasn't been out drinking for a long time because his two children need him. He has never touched alcohol and goes home to accompany his children to bed when it's time.

He suddenly started drinking again, which made Assistant Fang a little confused.

Gao Yuchuan didn't look at him, but continued to drink. The moment the wine went down his throat, he couldn't help but frowned at the burning taste of alcohol and said coldly: "No need, someone will coax you."

Assistant Fang was startled, then instantly surprised: "My wife is home?"

After saying this, Assistant Fang realized that he had said something wrong and quickly pursed his lips.

After all, if Shen Yaochu returned to the Gao family, Gao Yuchuan should have stayed at home to take care of his wife. Why would he come out to drink and get drunk?

Gao Yuchuan is not a drinker, and his gloomy face doesn't seem like he is out to indulge himself because he doesn't have to take care of the children anymore...

"Yeah, I'm back." Gao Yuchuan said in a light tone, not in high spirits.

Assistant Fang was even more confused now: "Then why are you still not happy? Isn't this a happy event?"

Gao Yuchuan raised his eyes and glanced at Assistant Fang unhappily, obviously telling him to stop talking nonsense.

Assistant Fang quickly closed his eyes and pretended that he had not said anything, but he was guessing in his heart.

Shen Yaochu went back, but Gao Yuchuan went out to socialize and got drunk on purpose. Was it because Shen Yaochu was no longer interested in him? Was he going back just for the sake of the child?

Thinking about the comments I've seen before, it seems that this kind of situation will occur among middle-aged couples when they reach a certain age.

Could it be that Gao Yuchuan has also encountered a mid-life crisis?

Assistant Fang cautiously glanced at Gao Yuchuan, only to see the man glance at him coldly.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

"Ok."

Gao Yuchuan picked up another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. A barely perceptible trace of fatigue flashed across his eyes, but then he returned to his indifferent expression.

Anyway, I will be alone when I go home and sleep in an empty room. Whether I drink or not, the night will be just as long.

The children no longer needed him. These past two days, he had been pulling Shen Yaochu into the room and had never come out.

The three of them, mother and son, were being affectionate, but he couldn't get in between them.

Whenever he pushed the door to enter the room, Shen Yaochu would freeze up with an awkward expression, obviously resisting his approach.

Gao Yuchuan was unhappy, but he didn't want to break the warmth between them, and didn't want to be the man who destroyed it.

So, it’s better to go out and drink.

He was drunk, and maybe Shen Yaochu saw him returning home drunk, and she would come over to take care of him.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuchuan raised a bitter smile, not knowing whether he was asking Assistant Fang or talking to himself: "I'm drunk, she won't ignore it, right?"

Gao Yuchuan's words made Assistant Fang understand why he forced himself to drink.

He just wanted to use various ways to find a sense of existence in Shen Yaochu and rekindle Shen Yaochu's feelings for him.

Assistant Fang suddenly understood and nodded: "Of course, the wife must still love you, it's just that there is some misunderstanding."

"What kind of misunderstanding could make her so upset with me?!" Gao Yuchuan's voice was low, like a roar from hell: "What did I do wrong?!"

"..." Assistant Fang didn't dare to answer and could only sigh in his heart.

It seems that men have no self-awareness and don’t even know how they made their wives angry.

It is pointless to ask a question that has no answer. Gao Yuchuan could only pick up the wine glass and drink one glass after another.

----

Gao Yushan was wearing a well-tailored suit, showing his gentlemanly demeanor in his every move, and was chatting and laughing with his partner opposite him.

They were discussing an upcoming collaborative project, and the other party was visibly excited.

Gao Yushan's cell phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at it, his expression clear.

He politely apologized to his partner across the street and said softly, "Sorry, I'll take a call and chat later."

Gao Yushan walked a few steps away and answered the phone. The assistant's voice came clearly through the receiver.

"Boss Gao, Little Boss Gao has already gotten in the car. He should be preparing to go back to the old house."

Gao Yushan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Okay. Go and get Xiaozhu."

"clear."

Gao Yushan hung up the phone, walked out of the banquet hall without hesitation, and quickly walked into the night.

The driver had been waiting outside for a long time. The car started and finally arrived before Gao Yuchuan returned to the old house.

At the same time, Xia Yizhu also got out of the assistant's car and trotted over: "Mr. Gao!"

Gao Yushan didn't drink much, but he still smelled of alcohol. He hugged Xia Yizhu and said, "I feel a little sleepy."

"I'll help you go back to your room to rest!"

Gao Yushan let Xia Yizhui support him as he walked into the old house. Before the door of the old house was closed, he glanced at his assistant.

The assistant immediately understood and nodded.

……

In the room, soft lights are sprinkled in every corner.

Xia Yizhui took good care of Gao Yushan. Seeing his face flushed due to the alcohol and his breathing even and deep, she carefully covered him with a thin blanket, fearing that he would catch a cold from drinking too much.

She had just wiped his body with a hot towel, so it shouldn't be so uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Xia Yizhui felt a little relieved.

At this moment, a rapid cell phone ring broke the silence in the room.

Gao Yushan frowned slightly, tried hard to open his heavy eyelids, and looked at the vibrating mobile phone on the table with blurry vision. Then he waved his hand weakly, signaling Xia Yizhui to help answer the call.

Xia Yizhu was a little flustered. He carefully picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, turned on the speaker function, and handed it to Gao Yushan.

"Hello." Gao Yushan's voice was a little weak.

On the other end of the phone, the assistant's anxious voice instantly filled the entire room: "Boss Gao, I met Little Boss Gao at the door. He looked very drunk and there was no one else to take care of him. Can you please come and pick him up?"

Gao Yushan frowned even more when he heard this. He rubbed his temples with his hands, trying to relieve the dizziness. But he looked at Xia Yizhu with a complicated look.

Gao Yushan seemed to be hesitant to speak, feeling a little embarrassed.

She knew that Gao Yushan himself was feeling uncomfortable and it was impossible for him to take care of Gao Yuchuan, but when she thought of Gao Yuchuan's indifferent look, she felt uneasy.

After a brief hesitation, Xia Yizhu said, "He's drunk and not feeling well. I'll go pick him up. Where is Mr. Xiao Gao now?"

"In front of the old house!"

"..."
