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

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan's heart trembled, and she instinctively clenched her fists, tears welling up in her eyes.

She gazed at his busy and weary figure, and an inexplicable force made her legs unable to move an inch, as if a heavy stone was tied to the bottom of her feet, rendering her immobile.

After struggling for a while, she finally moved her feet with difficulty and slowly approached him, her eyes still firmly fixed on the lonely but determined figure in front of her.

Li Siyuan placed the carefully prepared porridge on the table, and Shen Xuan only glanced at it briefly before quickly looking away.

At this moment, countless complex emotions intertwined in her heart, including reluctance, guilt, but mostly helplessness.

She took a deep breath in an attempt to calm her turmoil, and finally asked in a calm yet gentle tone, "Would you like to rest for a while? Seeing you like this really makes me very uneasy."

After a few seconds of silence, the other person slowly smiled and replied softly, "Xiao Xuan, even if we can't be husband and wife, can't we even be friends? Why should friends feel so guilty towards each other?"

"Li Siyuan, if we had a choice, I think the ideal situation for us would be to never have any contact again."

Shen Xuan responded with an unwavering tone, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination and resolve.

No longer in contact?

Does it mean completely severing all ties?

Or perhaps we should pretend we never met in this world?

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan's eyes immediately dimmed, and his fingers, which had been holding the chopsticks, involuntarily became limp and weak.

"Okay, I see."

When he said this, his voice was low and flat, as if he were acknowledging a certain established fact. After speaking, he gently placed the item in his hand on the table and said no more.

"Why don't you eat something before you go? After all..."

He paused here, as if the two were saying their final goodbye.

His voice became somewhat hoarse, as if he was suppressing some heavy emotion, which filled the entire room with an indescribable sense of oppression.

Then he added, "After all, I cooked this myself."

Although he said this with a slight smile, trying to break the slightly heavy atmosphere, it did not change the fact that they were about to part ways.

That smile looked so forced.

Looking at the scene before her, she didn't say anything more, slowly walked to the dining table and sat down, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Every bite of food tasted bitter and was hard to swallow, but she still tried her best to control her emotions and not let tears fall easily.

In fact, she knew better than anyone that at this moment, no words could undo anything.

Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Li Siyuan glanced at the screen and immediately answered it.

"There are some things at the company that I need to take care of, so I have to go now."

This sudden news broke the silence in the room and added a touch of determination to his eyes.

He seemed to have anticipated this situation, and his tone, though calm, was unusually firm.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, "Li Siyuan!"

she shouted.

The call was filled with complex emotions: a mixture of reluctance to let go and a helpless compromise.

Upon hearing the name, he paused, his fingers gripping his phone tightly without turning around, as if afraid he might change his mind.

"Do I have to go?"

She spoke softly with her head down, her eyes filled with helplessness.

She actually understood what was going to happen next, but she just didn't want to see that outcome.

This question sounds more like a helpless plea, wishing that time could stand still at this moment.

“Xiao Xuan, you can forgive those who hurt you, but I don’t want you to suffer in vain. When faced with this kind of thing, I can’t be as strong as you, and I can’t turn a blind eye.”

Every word revealed his love and care for her, while also expressing his anger and resentment.

In his heart, nothing was more important than protecting her.

His figure stood there firmly, radiating a powerful determination. "When I get back, I'll have another meal with you."

After saying that, he left.

This promise contains so many unspoken emotions that it evokes both warmth and heartache.

He is fully prepared to face the uncertainties and challenges ahead.

Shen Xuan's heart tightened suddenly, staring anxiously in the direction where he had disappeared.

At that moment, she seemed to see countless possible outcomes, each one filling her with dread.

She knew that inaction would only make things worse.

He quickly drove out of her sight.

We can't let him take such a risk!

We must find out if someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes.

This idea quickly took hold of her mind and became the driving force that supported her to keep going.

For his sake, and for our own, we must not allow the truth to be buried in darkness.

Just as he was about to rush out, he bumped into Ye Fan, who happened to be passing by.

"Miss Shen, what can I do for my husband?"

Ye Fan's eyes revealed a hint of concern, as if he was also trying to figure out what she was thinking.

Do you know where he's going?

Shen Xuan asked anxiously, as if grasping at a straw, her tone revealing undisguised worry.

She knew that Li Siyuan was definitely not going to do anything simple, which made her even more nervous.

"Didn't he tell you when he left?"

Ye Fan responded in a slightly meaningful tone, revealing a hint of surprise and doubt in his words.

He knew that the man was always mysterious and unpredictable, but this time it was clear that even his own subordinates had not been fully informed of the itinerary.

“I know what he’s going to do, but I don’t know where. Please help me find him.”

She said it almost pleadingly, her eyes flashing with urgency and determination.

Shen Xuan knew that once he asked for help, it meant that the matter was indeed urgent.

Ye Fan seemed to hesitate, "But the master ordered me to stay here to protect you..."

He paused, sounding somewhat helpless.

In fact, he also had some doubts about his husband's actions, but he dared not disobey orders.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but retort, "Aren't you afraid he'll be in danger?"

The questions were direct and sharp, as if trying to stir up the other person's unease.

"Please rest assured, I believe you are capable of handling any challenge. Please take good care of yourself."

Ye Fan spoke respectfully, his attitude still humbled, but his words betrayed a hint of wavering.

Clearly, he didn't want to see anyone get hurt.

Despite the other person's response, she felt that something was off about it.
