To seduce her

It was late at night, and the city lights flickered sporadically outside the window, shining into the president's office.

The lights in the office seemed particularly cold and pale, stretching Gao Yuchuan's figure out long and casting it on the empty ground.

Gao Yuchuan sat alone behind his desk, surrounded by mountains of documents, with complex undercurrents in his dark eyes.

After reading all the documents about the Yan family's ancestral land, Gao Yuchuan's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the sea.

Mu Yian was right. She had absolute executive power, and Gao Yuchuan would never be able to reach that piece of land.

No one had ever thought that Yan Yuesheng originally wanted the Yan family to never be dragged into the Gao family's power struggle, but this special clause happened to put everything into crisis.

When Gao Yuchuan thought of the words signed by Shen Yaochu, his eyes became empty as if swallowed by endless darkness.

Shen Yaochu's backstabbing and her distrust of him were like a cold winter wind that penetrated all his defenses and made him feel unprecedented cold and helpless.

His fingers trembled slightly as he subconsciously took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, his movements mechanical and slow.

The sound of tearing open the package was particularly harsh in the silent office. Gao Yuchuan took out a cigarette and gently stroked the cigarette with his fingertips.

The flame licked the cigarette butt and lit the cigarette between two fingers. The scarlet light flickered and the smoke was lingering.

Gao Yuchuan blew out smoke rings and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, looking a little absent-minded.

The smell of tobacco enveloped Gao Yuchuan. He thought for a moment and put out the cigarette in his hand.

He picked up the phone and called Assistant Fang.

It was already late, but he didn't leave, and Assistant Fang was still on standby.

"Mr. Gao."

"Arrange an urgent business meeting." Gao Yuchuan opened his lips and said, "Arrange something for Dong Zong, the president of Hongsheng Group, that he likes."

Assistant Fang was stunned: "Mr. Gao, Hongsheng has always been hovering on the edge of the law, and you have refused their cooperation many times."

"Yes." Gao Yuchuan said in a deep voice: "But we have to take this step now. The sooner the better, it would be best if it can be arranged within tomorrow."

Assistant Fang was silent for a while, knowing that Gao Yuchuan had already made the decision and it would not be changed.

"Understood. I will contact the other party as soon as possible and try my best to get the best meeting time and conditions. At the same time, I will organize the relevant information to ensure that you are fully prepared when the meeting takes place."

"Yeah." Gao Yuchuan hung up the phone.

The screen quickly turned black. Gao Yuchuan tapped it lightly. The phone screen glowed with a cold light, as if silently inviting him to call Shen Yaochu.

When Gao Yuchuan came to his senses, Shen Yaochu's phone page was already displayed on the mobile phone screen.

Gao Yuchuan raised his fingers and felt the phone in his hand was extremely cold.

Her mind was filled with the betrayal transfer agreement she had signed, and her resistance and defensiveness towards him.

Gao Yuchuan's eyes dimmed instantly, and his fingers froze in mid-air. Finally, he turned his wrist and placed the phone face down on the table.

----

It was late at night and everything was silent. Only the street lights on both sides of the street still emitted a soft, dim light.

Gao Yushan pushed open the door with heavy steps, looking a little tired.

Just as he was about to step into the house, a light figure flew out from inside, and Xia Yizhuo suddenly bumped into Gao Yushan's arms.

Xia Yizhui was wearing a pink dress today, with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. When she looked up at him, her eyes were sparkling.

It was completely different from the timid look she had before when she was hiding behind him.

Gao Yushan looked at that gaze, and his heart seemed to be filled with something inexplicably.

Xia Yizhu raised her head in his arms, her eyes flashing with concern, her voice soft and anxious: "You came back so late today, but I see you're walking better now!"

"Well, I'm feeling better." Gao Yushan smiled.

The corners of his lips curled up for a moment, but suddenly the wound on his face was pulled, making him frown subconsciously.

No matter how hard Gao Yushan tried to cover up, the bruises and tiny cracks on his face were visible under the soft light.

Seeing that Gao Yushan's usually gentle face now had several obvious scars and bruises, Xia Yizhuo's smile froze.

Xia Yizhu's eyes were filled with anxiety and worry. She raised her hand and touched the scar on Gao Yushan's face: "What happened?"

Seeing Xia Yizhu's worried look, Gao Yushan held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury, don't worry."

Gao Yushan's voice was gentle and smiling.

But the more he did this, the more distressed Xia Yizhui felt.

Gao Yushan's identity determines that he is not someone who easily comes into conflict with others.

Anyone who dares to beat him and leave scars on his face must be someone who is not afraid of him.

A figure and his stern eyes instantly flashed through Xia Yizhui's mind.

"What's going on..." Xia Yizhu started to think wildly: "Is it because I failed to help your brother that day that the conflict between you two brothers intensified?"

"Did he hit you? Huh?" Tears welled up in Xia Yizhui's eyes. She felt distressed and blamed herself.

Gao Yushan chuckled and raised his hand to touch the top of her head: "Don't think too much, this has nothing to do with you. This is my own business, I will handle it. Don't worry."

Xia Yizhui looked into Gao Yushan's deep eyes and knew that he didn't want her to worry too much.

She stared at him for two seconds, then stepped out of his arms, took his hand, and led him into the house: "Then I'll help you apply the medicine."

"Okay." Gao Yushan responded.

……

Xia Yizhui asked Gao Yushan to sit on the sofa, and he went to get the medicine box and sat down in front of him.

Xia Yizhu carefully disinfected him and applied ointment, and every movement was so gentle, just like how she would treat the delicate flowers in the garden.

The two were very close to each other. Gao Yushan looked at the girl's face so close to him and suddenly broke the silence.

"Xiao Zhu."

Gao Yushan's tone was calm, but Xia Yizhui felt a tremor in his heart for some reason.

"...Hmm?" Xia Yizhui responded in a soft voice.

Gao Yushan's voice became deep: "What if one day we can't be together anymore?"

Xia Yizhui's hand paused, and his eyes flickered as he looked at Gao Yushan.

Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, but she quickly adjusted her emotions.

She and Gao Yushan were not from the same world. He came down from the sky and saved her, so she shouldn't ask for anything else.

Xia Yizhui took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Actually, I've always known that I'm not worthy of you, so I've always been mentally prepared." Xia Yizhui looked at Gao Yushan, with ripples in his eyes.

"As long as I can be with you now, I will be satisfied." Xia Yizhui said.
