In the world of emotions, there is no right or wrong, only one-sided incompatibility, which ultimately leaves only deep regret and resentment.

For her, he was a thing of the past. His place had long been given to another man, and there was no longer a place for him in Shen Xuan's heart.

Despite the struggle and bitterness in his heart, he didn't say much more. He simply walked forward slowly with an almost wooden expression, a barely perceptible hint of anger flashing in his eyes. He quickly and slightly disdainfully glanced at Lu Yuchen beside him before finally fixing his gaze on the woman he both loved and hated.

"Shen Xuan, if I insist on taking you away from here right now, what actions will you take to resist?"

Her eyes were like a frozen stream in winter, smooth on the surface but unfathomable inside, giving no warmth whatsoever.

"The method I chose is very simple and extremely direct," her voice was low but each word was clear, "that is to immediately rush to the top floor of your Li Group building and jump off without hesitation. In this way, whether you really care about my life or death, you will inevitably bear the heavy guilt brought about by my death for the long years to come. This way of responding is enough to show my position. You should be satisfied with this answer, right?"

Hearing these resolute words that left almost no room for negotiation, Li Siyuan's expression suddenly changed drastically. His already pale face paled even more, and his eyes were filled with undisguised pain and anger.

"You're really ruthless, Shen Xuan! How could you be so cruel? Can't you see even a little bit of my sincere feelings for you? Your heart is far harder and colder than mine. The words 'heartless and ungrateful' seem to have been tailor-made for you."

Lu Yucheng, who had been silently enduring the pressure of their conversation, finally couldn't help but speak up. He looked at Li Siyuan with obvious anger and said, "Li Siyuan, if we're talking about who's more heartless, how do you think you're any more noble than the way you treated Han Xin and her daughter? You say you care about Xiaoxuan, but have you ever done even one commendable good deed for her?"

“It’s not your place to speak here,” he said sternly. “If you hadn’t taken advantage of my absence two years ago, would she have been with you? If it weren’t for you, she might have been living a happy life with me long ago.”

"At least I can't do something like abandoning my wife and children."

The other party responded without backing down, their tone tinged with anger and provocation.

"is it?"

He gave a cold laugh, his eyes revealing disdain and mockery.

"You said you almost killed another woman to be with her, and this is what you call love? You knew your family wouldn't accept her, yet you still went your own way. Do you think she's too easygoing, or do you think she has too many lives?"

He lowered his head somewhat guiltily, his eyes flashing with intense resistance: "So, you think you've won? You think you can win her heart this way?"

Li Siyuan's face grew increasingly gloomy. He stared at Shen Xuan's cold and distant expression with a pale face and said firmly, "But I haven't lost either! No matter what, I will never give up on her."

“But she doesn’t love you at all, Li Siyuan,” the other person coldly reminded him. “She’s a person, not a toy you can control. You shouldn’t use such methods to force her.”

Whether she loves me or not is none of your business. Do you think she's approaching you because she likes you?

His tone was full of sarcasm and disdain.

"Perhaps she only needs your help temporarily, or she just wants to take advantage of you."

Lu Yuchen said, "At least she doesn't resist my presence; she feels relaxed when she's around me. Unlike you, you only make her feel pressured and uneasy."

Shen Xuan pressed her hand to her forehead, feeling a headache coming on as she faced the tense standoff between the two men.

She calmly asked, "Are you finished talking? Do you need me to give you my seat so you can have a proper argument?"

Her words were flat and emotionless, the chill from her arms made her feel cold all over, and her mind gradually became confused.

The biting cold made her feel as if she were about to become transparent.

Seeing her struggling to hold on like that, Li Siyuan became even more furious.

His eyes were filled with anger and dissatisfaction, clearly unable to accept the situation before him.

"Shen Xuan, is it really that hard to say a few words to me?"

Almost every word he uttered was filled with power and repression, as if he had used all his strength to squeeze each word out of his mouth.

Even if she said a slightly gentler word, or even just exchanged a tender glance, he would respond without hesitation with endless love and warmth. But why is it that every time she looks at him, she is so cold and indifferent, making him feel as if he has been pushed to the other side of the world?

Seeing this, Lu Yuchen immediately interjected, "Can't you see? Her actions clearly show that she has no intention of interacting or communicating with you in any way. Li Siyuan, if you had been more considerate and attentive to her back then, perhaps your relationship wouldn't have deteriorated to this stiff and cold state."

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan immediately turned around and glared angrily at the other person, his eyes flashing with fury, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Isn't all of this because you keep interfering and sabotaging things? If it weren't for your interference and influence, we would have made up long ago!"

He retorted in a loud and indignant voice.

He then continued to question her: "Where were you when she was most vulnerable and helpless and truly needed support? For all these years, I've been the one who's been there for her, offering encouragement and support. It's never been you! You were the one who gave up on this relationship and abandoned her first. So what gives you the right to demand or expect her to come back to you? Do you think that causing her even deeper psychological trauma is another way to help her?"

All the grievances and dissatisfaction that had been hidden in her heart for so long finally burst out. Even though she knew that it was not appropriate to bring up these unpleasant memories in this situation, she could not swallow her anger when she saw the other party's provocative attitude.

Once he heard about what happened two years ago, all the painful experiences Shen Xuan had gone through at that time, as well as the helpless and desperate scenes when she was in dire straits, would involuntarily resurface in Li Siyuan's mind. It was as if his heart had been pierced by countless sharp icicles, causing him excruciating pain that made even normal breathing difficult. At the same time, it touched the most sensitive and vulnerable part of his heart.
