In the banquet hall, no matter what Shen Yaochu was doing, his eyes would always follow him.
She resisted too much and the eyes fell on her. After eating a few mouthfuls, she put it down, stood up and walked into the yard.
Thinking of Gao Yuchuan's words, Shen Yaochu sent him a message.
[I'm going to get some fresh air, just outside. 】
She didn't want to cause trouble in California, and since he wanted her to obey, she would do it.
California is slightly colder than in China, and it was night, so the temperature was a bit low.
Shen Yaochu touched her exposed arms, trying to soothe the goose bumps on her arms.
The next second, a touch of warmth fell on Shen Yaochu's shoulders.
Shen Yaochu stiffened and found that she had a shawl on her body.
She looked up and met the eyes of a blond man.
Shen Yaochu recognized him as Eden, the younger brother of the owner of the villa.
Shen Yaochu knew that Gao's California branch had many cooperation projects with the Eden Group and did not dare to offend them.
She stood up straight and nodded: "Hello, Mr. Eden."
Eden raised his eyebrows and showed a playful smile: "Beautiful lady, do you know me?"
"Of course, everyone who comes here will know you." Shen Yaochu handed the shawl back to him: "Thank you for your kindness, but no, I'll go in right away."
"The weather is very cold." Eden smiled brightly: "Asian girls are afraid of the cold, but I am a gentleman."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not that cold." Shen Yaochu insisted on putting the shawl into his hand.
Hearing this, Eden blinked his big eyes and took the shawl without insisting.
"Beautiful lady, can I ask you to dance at the dance later?"
Just as Shen Yaochu was about to refuse, a deep male voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
"She's inconvenienced."
When Shen Yaochu turned around, Gao Yuchuan was walking towards this side with a glass of wine in his hand and a slightly stern look on his face.
Gao Yuchuan strode towards Shen Yaochu, naturally wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and held her whole body in his arms.
Just as a gust of wind blew over, Gao Yuchuan's broad body blocked most of it for her.
Shen Yaochu looked up at him in his arms.
Eden looked surprised: "Mr. Gao? This is?"
"She is my wife." Gao Yuchuan was smiling, but the smile was not in his eyes, which were full of indifference: "So, it is inconvenient for me to agree to your invitation."
The man's domineering attitude when he declared his sovereignty made Shen Yaochu a little stunned.
"Oh? Really?" Eden shrugged and said with great regret, "What a pity!"
Gao Yuchuan: "We have been married for many years."
"So happy!" Eden's eyes fell on Shen Yaochu: "It seems that Mr. Gao and I have very similar visions. We must have a drink later."
Gao Yuchuan curled his lips, but did not agree. He just held Shen Yaochu's arm harder: "Then let's go in first."
Eden: "Have fun."
Gao Yuchuan walked towards the banquet hall with Shen Yaochu in his arms.
Shen Yaochu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and carefully explained: "After I returned the shawl to him, I planned to come in. Also, I sent you a text message."
Gao Yuchuan lowered his eyes and glanced at her: "Yes."
Shen Yao was a little unsure of Gao Yuchuan's attitude at first, but she had a faint feeling that he was not so happy.

Entering the banquet hall, Shen Yaochu was carried by Gao Yuchuan like a pendant, and she never had the chance to leave his side.
Shen Yao initially accompanied Gao Yuchuan with wine and greeted everyone who came over to toast him.
Gao Yuchuan was obviously a little uninterested until an old professor appeared.
The old professor came to Gao Yuchuan: "Mr. Gao, I didn't expect you to come to this banquet today."
"It should be." Gao Yuchuan raised his glass to show respect: "We at the Gao Group attach great importance to this project and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."
The old professor's eyes fell on Shen Yaochu: "Mr. Gao, what is this?"
"This is my wife." Gao Yuchuan said calmly.
Shen Yaochu heard Gao Yuchuan say that she was his wife in front of others too many times today, which made Shen Yaochu a little uncomfortable.
The old professor was a little surprised: "They are indeed a pair of beautiful women. No wonder Mr. Gao brought his wife to attend."
"Yeah." Gao Yuchuan chuckled: "My wife used to be a doctor, so if I bring her here, maybe there will be some parts that interest her."
Hearing this, Shen Yaochu looked at Gao Yuchuan with some confusion: "Huh?"
Gao Yuchuan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "This dinner is led by the Professor's International Medical Summit Forum. Gao attaches great importance to this project and has investment intentions, so come and find out about it."
Shen Yaochu originally thought that Gao Yuchuan just wanted her to come to California and have her current identity seen by everyone in the California branch.
Unexpectedly, the most important thing for Gao Yuchuan was to let her attend this medical forum exchange dinner.
Gao Yuchuan said to the old professor: "My wife is also very interested in medical research. Maybe you can have a lot in common with her."
The old professor looked at Shen Yaochu with some surprise: "It's a great thing for us that the Gao family has someone who understands this..."
The old professor began to talk about the project they were going to carry out in detail. Shen Yaochu became more and more interested and started talking with the old professor.
Gao Yuchuan stood aside, listening to Shen Yaochu speaking those medical terms in fluent English, looking at the joy and concentration in her eyes, and subconsciously curled his lips.

domestic.
Gao Yushan sat in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window. The moonlight filled his body, but it could not remove the coldness and sinister look in his eyes.
The phone in his hand vibrated slightly, and he picked it up. It was a message from FiOna, the vice president of the California branch.
It's a picture.
Gao Yuchuan held his mobile phone and sat alone by the bed in the dark night. His eyes were fixed on the screen of his mobile phone, his face uncertain.
On the mobile phone screen, the man tightly held the woman's waist and walked forward with her arms around her.
The woman is in the man's arms, looking up at him. Under the photo, it seems that the only thing in their world is each other.
Gao Yushan felt that his eyes were stung by Shen Yaochu's gaze in the photo.
Gao Yushan raised his hand to cover his heart and called FiOna back.
FiOna's low voice came: "Yushan, what is going on? Why did JeSSiCa become your brother's wife?"
Gao Yushan's voice was cold: "Gao Yuchuan took her to California?"
"Yes." FiOna was a little anxious: "What exactly is going on?"
Gao Yushan felt the tearing pain in his chest and took a deep breath.
"FiOna, help me book the earliest flight from Lugang to California, please?"
