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

Li Siyuan gently raised his hand and slowly placed it on top of her head, his arm resting steadily on the edge of the seat.

His movements were gentle and delicate as he carefully brushed away the strands of hair that were covering her face with his fingers.

Shen Xuan glanced at him quickly, then looked back at him again, trying to keep her tone calm: "What exactly do you want to say? I have very important things to do."

After she finished speaking, she deliberately moved her body slightly to the side, as if trying to increase the distance between the two of them.

He turned slightly to the side, still sitting in the same posture as before, his fingers continuing to gently stroke her hair unintentionally. The ambiguous tone in his voice made the whole space seem even more subtle. "I made a special trip to visit you. Don't you even have time to talk to me?"

His words sounded like a small, reasonable request, but in reality, they contained a layer of subtle pressure.

"So what exactly do you need me to do?"

The unvarnished question came from her mouth, revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness, clearly indicating that she was upset by the current situation.

Whenever she faced him like this, she always felt a little uncomfortable.

This awkwardness seems to have arisen naturally from their way of getting along, like two mismatched puzzle pieces being forcibly put together.

"Judging from your tone, you're still angry? I definitely handled things wrong that day; I shouldn't have left you alone in the hospital. But I went back to find you right away, didn't I? It's just that you left in such a hurry, how could I catch up..."

His words sounded like an explanation, a search for understanding, but there was a hint of blame behind them.

Who told you to walk so fast?

Really!

They made it sound like everything was easy and simple.

Shen Xuan inwardly scoffed, but decided not to confront these words directly.

In her view, discussing any historical issues with the man in front of her would only make their already complicated relationship worse.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Xuan adjusted her posture and turned her gaze back to his direction.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with coldness and an invisible sense of alienation.

"Li Siyuan, please be frank. I'm really busy right now and don't have time to guess what you're up to."

Faced with this straightforward request, he got straight to the point: "Alright, since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point. The company in Europe has run into some minor troubles that I have to resolve. But there's a problem: Weiwei doesn't have a suitable person to look after her right now. So I've come to you hoping you can look after her for a few days until things are settled there."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan's expression immediately changed, turning gloomy and angry. She gripped the car door handle tightly with both hands, as if she needed to use all her strength to steady her trembling body.

She took a deep breath, then gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Let me out of the car, let me out of the car right now!"

“I know you hate Xin Xin and her mother, and now Xin Xin is nowhere to be found. Weiwei is just a naive child. Asking for your help at such a crucial moment is indeed a bit too much to ask, but I really can’t find anyone more suitable or trustworthy than you.”

His speech was steady, yet it carried a deep sense of helplessness and pleading. Every word seemed to have been carefully considered, as if he was afraid that the slightest mistake would cause the other party to become even more resistant.

"But so what? This is ultimately your personal problem, it has nothing to do with me. You had a child with someone else, why should I take care of it for you?"

Unable to contain her frustration and dissatisfaction any longer, she abruptly turned her back to him, preparing to open the door and leave, her tone so cold that it made her unapproachable.

"Since you've made your choice, you should bear all the consequences yourself."

Before he arrived, Li Siyuan had a vague premonition that she would refuse, and he was mentally prepared for any outcome.

He gazed at her back and slowly said, "Although you may not want to hear it, I have to say this: Weiwei is innocent. As a child who has just begun to explore this world, how helpless she is without her mother's company. I promise that as soon as I have properly handled the affairs of this branch office, I will take care of her personally as soon as possible, and I will definitely not let you have to worry about her anymore."

Hearing this, Shen Xuan felt a surge of sarcasm.

Even if his daughter is innocent, does that mean Shen Xuan is destined to suffer such treatment?

This thought instantly stirred up the bitterness and resentment that had been buried deep in my heart for a long time.

She gave a cold laugh and replied, "I'm very sorry, but I'm really busy and have absolutely no time or interest in getting involved in your father-daughter relationship. If you really need help, please contact anyone else, just don't bother me. Now, if there's nothing else, please pull over, because I have many important matters waiting for me to attend to."

Just as the scene fell into an awkward silence, a clear ringtone suddenly came from Li Siyuan's pocket; his phone was ringing.

He took it out and saw it was a message from Li Shulian. A look of helplessness and anxiety flashed across his face. He quickly pressed the answer button and replied curtly, "Hello? What's up..."

A woman's anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Si Yuan, please come over quickly! Weiwei is behaving very strangely today. She's been crying nonstop from morning till night, and she can't even swallow food properly, vomiting it all up. I'm about to take her to the hospital for a checkup. Can you come and help as soon as possible? The situation seems quite serious..."

"Okay, tell the driver to slow down, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, his tone was clearly anxious, and he immediately instructed the driver to head towards the hospital.

He seemed somewhat nervous and uneasy at this moment, as if there was something very important waiting for him to deal with.

Shen Xuan watched this scene quietly from the side, noticing the dramatic change in his expression, and couldn't help but take another look.

She had overheard Li Shulian mentioning Weiwei from a short distance away, and couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to the child that caused him to lose his composure like this.

"I have an urgent matter and need to go to the hospital. Where would you like to get off?"

His words were brief but filled with urgency; clearly, nothing could distract him at that moment.

But her gaze remained fixed on his face, and she asked with a hint of confusion, "What's wrong with your daughter?"

She lowered her head, looking at the scenery flowing by outside the car window, and at the same time posed this question, without answering his earlier question about whether she wanted to get off the car.
