Those dark eyes shone with an all-knowing light, as if they wanted to examine her thoroughly from the inside out.

"Go back to the old house tomorrow. Grandpa wants to see you. He doesn't know about our divorce yet. Also, you'd better go and explain to him yourself where you've been these past few days."

After thinking for a moment, he scratched his head and reluctantly added, "Xin Xin has just returned to China and plans to live with the Li family. She doesn't have any relatives around her right now, so I hope you can tell Grandpa when you go back to the old house and ask him to accept Xin Xin."

She only vaguely understood what was said before, but what was said afterward made Shen Xuan furious.

He wasn't asking for her opinion at all; he was simply informing her.

Inform her that Han Xin is moving back to the Li family home, and tell her to treat Han Xin well and to go and persuade her grandfather to agree to let Han Xin live in the Li family home.

After all, besides the Li family, Han Xin had nowhere else to go in Ruijin.

Han Xin grew up in the Li family. If she hadn't coveted the position of Mrs. Li later, the old man probably wouldn't have let her leave three years ago.

To put it nicely, it's sending her abroad; to put it bluntly, it's kicking her out of the house.

Shen Xuan was filled with turmoil, but she was powerless to change his decision.

"Li Siyuan, since you care so much about Han Xin's feelings, why don't you sign the divorce papers?"

She practically yelled it out, and the driver in front occasionally glanced back through the rearview mirror.

Unfortunately, Li Siyuan's powerful aura made it impossible for the driver to look directly at him, so he could only steal a glance before focusing on driving.

Li Siyuan loosened his tie, his eyes fixed ahead, and therefore he didn't look at Shen Xuan at all.

He seemed to have become accustomed to her persistent pestering and had developed a dismissive attitude towards it.

"I'll sign once you've convinced Grandpa. Shen Xuan, if your maternal grandfather hadn't used his life-and-death bond to force my grandfather to marry you three years ago, do you think you'd be sitting on the throne as Mrs. Li?"

His words were powerful and resounding, each one like a sword piercing her heart and exposing her most vulnerable spot.

Shen Xuan's heart clenched suddenly, the pain unbearable.

It turned out that the reason he refused to sign was because of Grandpa Li. And the reason he brought her back was simply to get Grandpa Li to accept Han Xin.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. She had promised her grandfather that as long as Grandpa Li was alive, Mrs. Li's position would be secure.

Even though she's divorced from him now, as long as Grandpa Li doesn't agree, Han Xin can forget about stepping into the Li family's door, let alone becoming Li Siyuan's wife.

Sure enough, his heart and eyes were only for Han Xin. Even though she had been Mrs. Li for three years, Li Siyuan still didn't love her.

Before she knew it, tears were welling up in her eyes. She quickly turned her head away to avoid his gaze, afraid that he would notice her vulnerability.

She forced back her uncontrollable tears, gave a cold laugh, and said, "Li Siyuan, since I promised to give up my position to Han Xin, I will naturally handle it properly, and I hope you won't regret it."

She paused for a moment, then added, "I will explain things clearly to Grandpa, so don't worry about that. As long as you sign, I will handle everything properly, so you won't be put in a difficult position or feel embarrassed. I promise you that."

Her gaze dimmed, but her face remained calm, as if she had truly seen through everything.

"Hmm." He responded with a nasal sound, as if he wanted to say something more, but then stopped himself.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Shen Xuan. Seeing that she was trying her best to avoid his gaze, he unconsciously frowned.

Her dejected face was reflected in the windshield above the car window.
