To seduce her

restaurant.

Soft light pours down softly from the exquisite chandelier and sprinkles on the polished marble floor.

Soft jazz music slowly flowed in the air. The three of them walked into the restaurant and were greeted by a smiling waiter: "Welcome!"

Shen Yaochu nodded slightly: "Hello, everyone."

The waitress's eyes flashed with a knowing smile. She raised her hand respectfully towards Gao Yuchuan and said to Shen Yaochu, "I know. Mr. Gao has already reserved the best private room in advance."

Shen Yaochu was a little surprised. She turned around to look at Gao Yuchuan, but saw that he was looking straight ahead with a dull expression, as if the "Mr. Gao" mentioned by the waiter just now was not his.

The three of them walked side by side, Shen Yaochu stood in the middle, Gao Yuchuan stood on the left, and Xu Yanjun stood on the right, looking very harmonious.

Xu Yanjun chuckled: "Boss Gao is very thoughtful and even booked a private room in advance."

Gao Yuchuan said "hmm" softly: "Yao Chu's friends are here, so we can't neglect them."

"It's all thanks to Yaochu." Xu Yanjun looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "Lukang is really different. There are no such high-end restaurants in our city."

Shen Yaochu turned sideways and looked at Xu Yanjun: "You can't say that. Although there are no such restaurants in the city, there are many local restaurants that are also delicious."

Xu Yanjun nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, your favorite mixed mushroom hotpot is delicious in any local restaurant."

"I was tired at that time and wanted to eat something fresh, so I had to drag you down the mountain to eat." Shen Yaochu couldn't help laughing: "At that time, Master said that he didn't allow you to go, but in the end he would secretly tell me to pack some for him to bring back."

"He really is..."

The two chatted excitedly, and Gao Yuchuan listened quietly with no expression on his face.

Just then, a passerby came towards me, walking in a hurry.

Gao Yuchuan's deep eyes lit up slightly. He calmly stretched out his arm, embraced Shen Yaochu, and with a little force, brought her to his left side.

He took a step forward naturally, as if standing between Shen Yaochu and the passerby, preventing the passerby from bumping into Shen Yaochu.

With this action, Gao Yuchuan and Shen Yaochu exchanged positions, and Gao Yuchuan stood in the middle.

It just separated Shen Yaochu and Xu Yanjun.

Shen Yaochu seemed to be frightened by the sudden situation, then lowered her eyes and said softly: "Thank you."

"It's okay, be careful." Gao Yuchuan said in a deep voice.

Gao Yuchuan turned around and glanced at Xu Yanjun, still with no expression on his face.

The slightly tense corners of his lips and the alertness he showed made Xu Yanjun beside him understand what he meant.

Only Xu Yanjun, also a man, could feel this kind of provocation.

He leaned forward slightly and glanced at Shen Yaochu past Gao Yuchuan. Shen Yaochu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, seemingly unaware of Gao Yuchuan's purpose.

Gao Yuchuan held Shen Yaochu's arm and didn't take it back. He said softly, "We're here, let's go in."

"it is good."

……

Only after entering the box did Shen Yaochu finally dare to raise his head.

The light from above shone through the delicate lampshade and illuminated Shen Yaochu's slightly red cheeks.

The moment Gao Yuchuan embraced her just now, she was almost enveloped by Gao Yuchuan's breath. She hadn't been so close to Gao Yuchuan for a long time, and she was actually a little shy when she suddenly got close to him.

The sound of a chair being dragged was heard, and Shen Yaochu turned his head to look at Gao Yuchuan.

Gao Yuchuan lowered his head, pulled out a chair for her and motioned for her to sit down.

Shen Yaochu hesitated for a moment, feeling that it would be awkward for the three of them to eat in this private box, no matter how they sat.

Just as I was thinking about it, a shadow flashed by in front of me.

When she looked up again, she didn't know whether Xu Yanjun did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he had already sat down opposite her.

Gao Yuchuan obviously discovered this earlier than Shen Yaochu. He looked at Xu Yanjun with sharp eyes, and the aura around him was slightly cold.

Gao Yuchuan frowned subconsciously.

His original intention was to separate them, but who knew that Xu Yanjun would sit directly opposite Shen Yaochu.

It was easier for the two of them to talk when they were face to face.

Shen Yaochu noticed his displeasure, and immediately stood up again, looking up at him and asked: "Then why don't you sit here?"

Xu Yanjun looked around and immediately stood up, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Or sit here with me?"

"..." Gao Yuchuan's throat moved slightly, hiding his displeasure, and sat down next to Shen Yaochu: "No need."

……

After ordering the food, Xu Yanjun picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

The aroma of tea spread in his mouth. Xu Yanjun curled his lips, his eyes moving back and forth between Gao Yuchuan and Shen Yaochu.

Chinese Medicine Doctor Xu had also mentioned a few things to him about what happened after Shen Yaochu returned to Lukang. Plus, seeing that Gao Yuchuan was secretly competing with him today, Chinese Medicine Doctor Xu, who had been worried about Shen Yaochu, should be able to feel more at ease.

Xu Yanjun smiled, as if he was sincerely praising her, but also as if he was deliberately testing her: "Yaochu, Mr. Gao is indeed as outstanding as you said. You two seem to be a good match."

Hearing this, Gao Yuchuan's expression was not as cold and hard anymore.

Shen Yaochu didn't notice Gao Yuchuan's change at all, and thought Xu Yanjun was teasing her and Gao Yuchuan on purpose, so she said with a smile: "Don't come on, come on, you've been so gentlemanly lately, have you managed to bring a girlfriend to go up the mountain with you?"

"Don't you know my personality? I'm used to freedom." Xu Yanjun clasped his hands together and said, "Besides, even if there is, the girl may not be able to get used to living in the mountains."

Shen Yaochu: "There's nothing to get used to. The air in the mountains is fresh and quiet."

Xu Yanjun: "The mountains are not as convenient as big cities, and the environment is not as good."

Xu Yanjun was obviously talking to Shen Yaochu, but he kept glancing at Gao Yuchuan. He said meaningfully, "Not every girl is willing to endure hardships like you, Shen Yaochu!"

As expected, after hearing these words, Gao Yuchuan's face, which had finally improved a little, became even gloomier again.

At this moment, the waiter knocked on the door and walked into the private room, holding a tray with several delicious dishes in his hand. He placed it gently on the table and introduced the dishes.

Gao Yuchuan nodded slightly, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally passing over the two people who were chatting excitedly, and said in a deep voice: "Bring the menu over."

"Ok."

The waiter handed the ordering tablet to Gao Yuchuan, but Gao Yuchuan raised his hand and motioned the waiter to pass it to Xu Yanjun: "Mr. Xu, is there anything else you need to add?"

Xu Yanjun looked at Gao Yuchuan with a look of understanding: "No, it's already rich enough. Yaochu, how about you?"

"Eat first, and add more if it's not enough." After that, Shen Yaochu continued to respond to Xu Yanjun's words: "Brother Yanjun, you are prejudiced against girls. The mountains are actually very interesting and can make people calm down..."

Shen Yaochu seemed to be immersed in those memories, chatting with Xu Yanjun about everything that happened on the mountain as if no one was around.

Gao Yuchuan glanced at Shen Yaochu, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and he felt a little depressed.

Dissatisfied? Probably not.

Angry? No.

He just realized that in the more than a year since Shen Yaochu left Lukang and went to the mountains, her life had quietly taken on new colors.

He had never seen these colors in person, and had not had time to understand them in depth.

Obviously, the person who knows her recent situation over the past year better is Xu Yanjun.

Gao Yuchuan doesn't like this feeling, he really doesn't like it.
