"Don't worry, he just doesn't know what's good for him. Lu Shuli is no good at all. I think he doesn't deserve to be your boyfriend. It's better to break up. It's wise to stay away from someone like him," Shen Xuan comforted her sister.

Suddenly remembering that her own love life was a mess, yet she still had to comfort others, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When Cheng Lu advised her not to marry Li Siyuan, she directly rejected her friend's good intentions. Now, thinking back on it, she felt quite regretful.

"Sister, I saw Young Master Lu!" She crawled out of her sister's arms and said to Shen Xuan with a serious expression.

"What did you say?" she asked, completely bewildered.

“I saw Young Master Lu. He was in Lu Shuli’s office. I saw him walk out with my own eyes.”

Shen Xuan reached out and touched her forehead. Shen Feiyan subconsciously pushed her sister's hand away and said solemnly, "I really saw Young Master Lu, and he and Lu Shuli seemed to have a good relationship."

"Really?" she asked again, still somewhat doubtful.

"Yes!" Shen Feiyan nodded vigorously.

Shen Xuan jumped out of bed instantly.

"Where are the others?"

"I only saw him once in Lu Shuli's office, and I don't know anything else..."

After saying that, Shen Xuan hurriedly rushed out of the room.

When Li Siyuan returned home, Han Xin had already left with the child.

She didn't go abroad; she chose to move out. Even he couldn't find out exactly where she lived.

Her departure was just like Shen Xuan's departure from him back then: equally resolute, equally abrupt, and equally concealing her whereabouts—clearly a deliberate escape.

In the evening, he received a call from An Zihao and learned that Han Xin still couldn't let go of him, and their conflict had reached the point of divorce.

He felt that if Han Xin really broke up with An Zihao because of him, then he would have no chance with Shen Xuan at all.

His original plan was to get her to give up custody of the child, but he didn't expect her to avoid him now, which ruined all his plans.

Shen Xuan parked his car in front of an office building.

As she walked into the building in high heels, a security guard approached and asked, "Are you Ms. Shen?"

"Where is Lu Yuchen?" She rubbed her forehead, asking calmly but in a cold tone.

"Are you referring to Young Master Lu?" the security guard confirmed.

Where is Lu Yuchen?

She looked directly at the other person and repeated herself, her face already showing a hint of impatience and her eyes revealing a chill.

She felt a pang of sadness when she thought about how no one came to see her after she returned, and she only found out about it from someone else.

The security guard looked at her expression and felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that her gaze was unusually sharp.

"Young Master Lu went to the hospital for rehabilitation treatment today. If Miss Shen wants to find him, she will have to go there."

"That's what the security guard replied."

"Which hospital?" she blurted out almost immediately.

"Jiangcheng Hospital".

After hearing this, she gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

Just then, she noticed a man in a black suit standing behind her.

She stopped in her tracks, her eyes immediately focusing on that person. In that moment, it seemed as if her whole world consisted only of him.

The man had one hand in his pocket and was adjusting his tie with the other, his eyes fixed on the slender woman in front of him.

"Xiao Xuan, I really didn't mean to avoid you..."

A few words disrupted all her thoughts, and her pent-up emotions were ignited in an instant.

She suddenly clenched her fists, feeling for the first time the urge to get angry at him.

She stared at him expressionlessly, trying her best to control her emotions, before quickly walking past him and leaving.

Lu Yuchen didn't react for a moment, until he saw her pass by and his brows furrowed even more.

I realized she was angry because I had returned but hadn't contacted her immediately.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he quickly regained his senses, reached out and grabbed her wrist as she was about to leave, pulling her directly in front of him.

It crashed into his chest without warning.

She raised her eyes to look at the delicate contours of his chin, and felt the pressure of his tight grip on her wrist, which made her heart flutter with panic.

He calmly led her into the elevator, and finally put her down in a room on a certain floor.

She remained silent throughout, watching him as he moved forward.

Leaning against the door with his hands in his pockets, he quietly observed her sitting on the sofa, recalling the past days in his mind.

"What day did you come back?" she asked coldly, pursing her lips.

Or perhaps they were asking him when he came to his senses.

With his head bowed, he replied in a steady voice, "In the last few days."

"How's life in Jiangcheng?" he asked.

She just nodded and didn't say anything more. How could she be alright?

Li Siyuan's constant harassment caused her great distress, and the uncertainty of his life or death tormented her. How could she possibly be doing well?

"Xiao Xuan, let's start over!"

He spoke earnestly, his eyes fixed on her profile, his heart filled with anticipation.

Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her eyes somewhat stiff.

In the blink of an eye, she stood up and walked towards him.

"Lu Yuchen, there are so many women in the world, why are you so obsessed with me? Isn't this enough to make you understand that there's no good outcome to being with me?"

He strode over with a determined look in his eyes. "I couldn't protect you before, but I can now, Xiaoxuan. Trust me!"

Shen Xuan gritted her teeth and said, "You can't even protect yourself, how can you protect me? Lu Yuchen, come talk to me again when you have the ability to fight against Li Siyuan!"

Her gaze swept across his face again, then she walked past him, opened the door, and went out.

Lu Yuchen was about to reach out to stop her when she left without hesitation.

He wanted to tell her that he had already lost everything, so why would he be afraid of Li Siyuan's revenge?

Shen Xuan wiped the tears from her cheeks and quickly stepped out of the elevator.

Lu Shuli, who happened to be coming from another direction, glanced up and saw her leaving, and was slightly startled.

Did she just go to see Lu Yuchen?

For some reason, thinking of Lu Yuchen's previous warning, he felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

If it weren't for their agreement and the fact that he had leverage over Lu Yuchen, he would have been unable to escape long ago.

But considering that he was willing to hand over the Lu family to him for Shen Xuan's sake, and worried that Li Siyuan would use this reason to deal with the Lu family again, he decided to keep his distance from the Lu family.

As long as one does not participate in any of the Lu family's business activities, there is no reason to target the Lu family.

He coldly looked up at her figure, tightly gripping the folder in his hand, standing there indifferently watching.

It turns out that their weakness was Shen Xuan, whom they couldn't afford to mess with.

After confirming that the man had returned safely, she felt not relieved, but rather under even greater pressure.

She saw a WeChat message from An Zihao on the screen, but because of the time difference, she didn't see it immediately.

Shen Xuan stared blankly at the screen, then turned off her phone.

She had a premonition that Han Xin's return was not only to celebrate Li Shulian's birthday, but also because of Li Siyuan.
