After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

Li Siyuan noticed her movement, turned his head slightly, and looked somewhat helpless, as if he also realized that he was indeed a superfluous person at this moment.

Lu Yuchen watched everything in front of him quietly without saying a word, but he already knew in his heart that Shen Xuan had made a certain decision.

She looked a little disheveled after being washed by the rain, but her eyes revealed a clear mind.

She felt the chill in the air around her, which seemed to clear her mind.

The rain gradually subsided, and the three exchanged glances, as if an invisible psychological battle was unfolding.

Li Siyuan stood between the two, becoming an obstacle to their communication.

Shen Xuan took a step back, creating some distance between them, and finally realized how abnormal her behavior had been—she had hugged Li Siyuan and cried so desperately.

"You have a fever?"

Li Siyuan gently stroked her forehead and asked in a tender tone with obvious concern.

Perhaps because she fell into the water yesterday, she feels cold all over now.

Even so, risking catching a cold to return to the Shen family to find her father must mean there's something very important waiting to be resolved.

"I am fine."

She gently brushed Li Siyuan's hand away from her forehead and said firmly, "I'm sorry, I lost control a bit just now and got your clothes dirty. I'm really sorry. But I'm much better now, so please don't worry."

After saying these words, she composed herself, which was in disarray, and turned to Lu Yucheng, who was standing silently to the side, and said, "The rain outside is about to stop, and I think it's time for me to leave. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience caused."

She didn't want to think about why she had met these two people here, nor did she want to guess what they were thinking at that moment.

Shen Xuan's only concern was to act according to the established plan and leave this place with Cheng Lu as soon as possible to end all this entanglement.

She decided not to let anyone know her plans in advance, hoping to return to a normal life as soon as possible.

"Xiao Xuan!"

Just as she turned to leave, she suddenly heard Li Siyuan's anxious voice calling from behind.

Upon hearing the name, she stopped in her tracks but didn't turn around to look at it.

The tension inside made him clutch his sleeve tightly as a cover, but his eyes remained fixed on what had just happened, unable to let go.

“I’ve made myself perfectly clear, I won’t bother you anymore. I really don’t have any expectations of you. I know in my heart that I’m not worthy of being with you, and I have no face to ask for your forgiveness. I just sincerely hope that you can be happier, Xiaoxuan. If there were any possibility, I would wish to bear all your pain in my place, to make up for the hurt I’ve caused you over the years, even if it meant giving my life.”

When he said this, his eyes were filled with despair, and his teeth began to chatter involuntarily.

He too was experiencing immense pain and torment; this unrequited love seemed to place him in a blazing inferno.

I finally understand how she felt back then, but unfortunately, it all happened too late.

"I know, let's go!"

She answered in a low voice, a tear unconsciously sliding down her cheek.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, tried her best to control her turbulent emotions, and then turned and left as if nothing had happened.

Lu Yuchen's eyes grew increasingly dim and lifeless. He cast another deep glance in the direction Shen Xuan had left, as if trying to glean something from it, before turning around, walking to his car, and leaving the scene.

On the other side, Li Siyuan was still standing there in a daze, unable to recover from the shock for a long time. He kept looking in the direction where Shen Xuan disappeared, his heart clenching violently.

A heavy feeling lodged in his chest, and he suddenly pressed his hand to his chest, staggering back a few steps.

Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly stepped forward to help him steady.

"Sir, are you feeling alright? Would you like to rest for a bit?"

Li Siyuan steadied himself, gripping the umbrella handle tightly, and stood up with difficulty as if using a cane, saying, "It's okay, I can still manage."

After Ye Fan helped her into the car, the other party cautiously asked, "Sir, should we continue to follow Miss Shen? I noticed she doesn't look well; would it be more appropriate to take her to the hospital for a checkup?"

After straightening his clothes, Li Siyuan leaned back in the back seat, crossed his knees, rested his chin on one hand in thought, and leaned his other elbow against the window. He said wearily, "This is the last time we'll follow her. We'll just make sure she gets back to her place safely. We won't monitor her anymore. After all, this constant attention makes her uncomfortable."

Ye Fan nodded in response, then started the car and slowly drove in the direction Shen Xuan had left.

The wheels rolled over the wet ground, making a soft rustling sound, as if conveying an unspoken emotion.

Shen Xuan's steps were not fast, but rather slow and somewhat weak. She felt her head was unusually heavy, as if it were filled with lead, and her whole state seemed very confused, as if she had developed a subtle sense of distance from the real world.

She felt like a shell with part of its soul ripped out, drifting aimlessly in this world, unable to find its place.

She gently touched her forehead, trying to dispel the uncomfortable feeling.

However, this simple action did not improve the situation much; instead, the scenery in front of her became increasingly blurry, as if countless layers of veils were blocking her view, preventing her from seeing the road ahead.

Just now, in front of those people, she had forced herself to maintain her physical and mental strength, not wanting them to see her weakness caused by the cold, and not wanting them to see her in such a disheveled state. Now, when no one was watching, Shen Xuan could finally release her suppressed emotions and allow her tired body to have a brief moment of relaxation.

However, this relief quickly turned into even more intense discomfort.

A sudden wave of intense dizziness struck, making her consciousness even more confused.

Then, without warning, her legs went weak, and she fell backward like scattered sand, almost losing her balance.

Just then, Lu Yucheng, who happened to arrive at the scene, saw what was happening. He immediately reacted, quickly threw aside the umbrella in his hand, and sprinted forward. He reached out his hands in time and caught Shen Xuan, who was falling, preventing her from falling directly onto the hard, cold ground and causing greater harm.
