She gave a cold laugh, her face immediately darkening: "Li Siyuan, I really am not as ruthless as you."

"So what?"

He was getting impatient with the conversation and was angry at her attitude of caring about him yet not wanting to be with him.

"I'll let it slide this time because he helped you before, but you're not going to let me give it to him!"

"Li Siyuan!" She was about to explode, but she knew it would be inappropriate to do so in this situation.

After all, arguing with this kind of person is simply lowering your own status and is not worth it at all.

"Shen Xuan, cooperate with me to complete this banquet, and then I will annul our marriage. Don't you always like to put on an act in front of me? Don't tell me you can't do it now."

As he spoke, he gently pulled her wrist, placed her hand in the crook of his arm, and said with a mocking tone.

She forced a smile and reluctantly took his arm. "Li Siyuan, how long are you going to keep torturing me?"

He sneered, "Do you think I'd change my approach to you? Have you changed your tastes and don't like this method anymore?"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Whether you can successfully complete the divorce proceedings depends on your own performance, Mrs. Li."

She said nothing more and followed him toward the elevator.

She wondered to herself how she could have fallen in love with such a heartless and ungrateful person.

Perhaps it was that faint feeling of affection she had for him that made him believe she belonged to him, leading to this messy situation.

They appeared like the closest of lovers, surprising everyone.

She knew perfectly well that his purpose was to show everyone that even after the divorce, she was still his woman and no one else could touch her.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Yan Anxun stepped out.

Looking up, I immediately spotted them.

Shen Xuan instinctively tried to pull her hand away from him, but her arm was frozen and completely immobile.

"Where did you come from?" Yan Anxun looked at Li Siyuan with a surprised expression.

Thinking back to how Shen Xuan left without hesitation to find Li Siyuan, it seems that there is some important secret between the two that others do not know.

Shen Xuan pulled her hand away from him, turned around and left his side, leaving the two of them standing there, and walked away alone.

Her mind was a bit of a mess, and she leaned against the elevator door, feeling dazed.

It's infuriating! How could she have agreed to his unreasonable request?

In order to supposedly dissolve the engagement, she almost fell into his trap again.

Fortunately, she realized her mistake in time and quickly distanced herself, refusing to end the relationship in this way.

In the lobby, a number of wealthy and powerful people were gathered. She felt her steps were light and unsteady, and everything around her seemed somewhat blurry.

She sneezed, and the chill on her body eased a little.

For some reason, her head suddenly felt very dizzy.

She walked forward in a daze, staggering as she entered.

Seeing that something was wrong with her, a waiter came forward and asked, "Miss Shen, are you alright?"

She raised her hand and said, "It's okay, I'll be fine after a rest."

"Miss Shen, would you like to go to the VIP room to rest for a while?"

The waiter reached out his hand to guide her forward.

Seeing his daughter like this, and thinking about all the trouble she had caused recently, Shen Zhentao felt even angrier, thinking that his daughter had really brought shame to the Shen family.

Shen Xuan took a step, her steps appearing somewhat unsteady.

Perhaps it was the large number of people that made her feel suffocated, or for some other reason, but she always felt a sense of oppression.

The atmosphere was great, but she was in a terrible mood.

She found Cheng Lu's location, but Shen Feiyan kept talking to her like a buzzing fly.

Cheng Lu noticed her pale face and asked, "Why do you look a little off? Why are you so tired after just one trip?"

She drank a cup of hot water and supported her forehead with her hand. "It's nothing, I just feel a little unwell, I have a bit of a cold, so my head feels dizzy."

Shen Feiyan stood among them, enjoying her dessert alone.

She looked up and suddenly noticed Lu Shuli and the girl next to him in front of her, and stopped holding her spoon.

It seems that Lu Shuli brought her here, otherwise how could someone of her status have gotten in?

Clearly, his relationship with Gao Jing is not simple.

Shen Xuan and Cheng Lu were chatting, but she vaguely felt that someone was secretly watching her, a feeling that made her very uncomfortable.

"Sis, have you seen the girl next to Lu Shuli?"

Shen Feiyan held her wine glass, turned her head to the side, and asked a question in a low voice.

Shen Xuan never liked to meddle in other people's affairs. After hearing her mention it, he couldn't help but glance at her, his gaze falling on the girl's pretty face, but he didn't say anything more.

Remembering what Lu Shuli had mentioned about Gao Jing's identity, she hesitated for a moment whether she should tell her sister about it.

"you know?"

Shen Xuan noticed that her gaze was almost entirely focused on Lu Shuli, so she couldn't help but ask.

I originally thought Shen Feiyan asked that question because she was unhappy about seeing other suitors.

"I don't know her!" Shen Feiyan replied.

She frowned, still not wanting to tell her about Gao Jing and Lu Yuchen.

Shen Xuan said, "Feiyan, Lu Shuli already has a girlfriend. Do you want to stay by his side? Why don't you consider changing jobs and leaving here?"

"I don't want to!" Shen Feiyan rejected her suggestion without hesitation.

Lu Shuli, with a smile on his face, stood with Gao Jing, drinking juice. Even the way he looked at her had changed, which made Shen Feiyan feel uneasy.

She liked him so much, but he never smiled at her, instead giving his smile to another girl, who happened to be his own brother's girlfriend.

Thinking this way, her temper immediately flared up.

She put down what she was holding and walked over, wanting Gao Jing to stay away from him.

"I think I should leave now, since it seems a bit inappropriate to be here."

Gao Jing stood there somewhat awkwardly, still feeling uncomfortable thinking about how Lu Shuli had brought her here.

"Don't go, you're already here, you might as well have some fun." He said with a smile, holding his wine glass.

"But I really don't drink, and I don't know anyone here. It's pretty boring."

"Then how about finding someone to keep you company?"

He saw Shen Feiyan walking towards him.

When Gao Jing saw his gaze directed toward her back, she subconsciously turned her head to look in that direction as well.

Seeing Shen Feiyan's unpleasant expression, she turned back and asked cautiously, "Is she really not your girlfriend? She seems very angry, even angrier than last time. Should I tell her about us?"

He downed the drink in one gulp and said coldly, "No need."

He really disliked Shen Feiyan's clingy attitude, and he would be happy to see anyone keep her away from him.
