The vibration and ringing stopped quickly, indicating that the other party had given up waiting and hung up the phone.

Immediately afterward, almost at the same moment, another message notification popped up on my phone.

It was a message notification on WeChat, sent directly from Cheng Lu.

The words that happened to appear on the screen quickly caught his eye: "I've booked the plane ticket, where are you now?"

Upon seeing these words, he suddenly felt tense, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

The information conveyed by these words made Li Siyuan even more confused and uneasy.

He couldn't help but wonder, was this plane ticket prepared for him?

If so, where would the destination be?

The question lingered in his mind, but he couldn't find the answer.

After a while, Shen Xuan slowly walked out of the room.

Her face was as pale as paper, her cheeks seemed to have lost all color, and even her lips were unusually pale. She exuded a desolate atmosphere that was hard to bear.

As soon as Li Shulian saw her appear, she immediately stepped forward with concern and asked about the child's current situation.

On the other side, only Li Siyuan reacted quickly and strode forward to meet them.

When he walked up to her, he carefully placed his hands gently on her shoulders, his eyes filled with tenderness and concern.

"Xiao Xuan".

He called out softly, hoping to offer her some comfort and support through his actions.

Faced with his sudden action, Shen Xuan was slightly stunned at first. Then she moved the corners of her mouth slightly and pushed away the hand resting on her shoulder with her arm, as if she instinctively resisted such intimate physical contact.

At that moment, Li Siyuan's hand gesture, which was originally intended to bring the two of them closer, came to an abrupt halt.

He could clearly sense the sense of alienation conveyed in the instant he was pushed away.

This subtle change seems to foreshadow an unspoken barrier that has been built between them, making the atmosphere even colder and more unfamiliar.

She took her coat back from a man named Jiang Yu who was next to Li Siyuan, draped it gently over her shoulders, and turned to walk towards the ward.

The warm and peaceful atmosphere in the ward gave her some comfort.

She planned to lie down for a while and then leave, trying not to stay in this unfamiliar place for too long.

Seeing her silent demeanor, Li Siyuan suddenly felt a surge of anger.

He didn't understand why Shen Xuan always tortured him in this way.

Even though she desperately needed help, she always acted as if she didn't want anyone to get close to her.

This stubbornness and indifference truly made him feel incredibly helpless and angry.

Just as Shen Xuan was about to turn and leave, she felt herself being tightly embraced by a pair of strong arms.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and she seemed unable to immediately understand what had happened.

She was already tightly held in Li Siyuan's arms, as if there was no possibility of breaking free.

"Put me down, I can walk on my own, Li Siyuan."

Her voice was unusually weak and somewhat unsteady, as if she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.

She exuded an indescribable weariness, and even simple gestures of pushing away seemed powerless.

However, these weak words did not change the situation; her body remained firmly embraced.

But Li Siyuan completely ignored her struggles and resistance, and instead wore an even more resolute and serious expression.

He held her even tighter until he had gently placed her on the hospital bed and carefully covered her with a blanket.

Throughout this process, Shen Xuan never found an opportunity to resist and could only let him arrange things.

When Li Siyuan finally stopped and prepared to leave, the two glanced at each other unintentionally, and their eyes met instantly.

The close eye contact made Shen Xuan instinctively pull the blanket tighter around her, hoping to create even the slightest distance between herself and the other person.

But strangely, in that brief glance, she caught a peculiar emotion in Li Siyuan's eyes.

The feeling was complex and indescribable, causing her emotions to fluctuate wildly, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

"Go and check on your daughter. I'm fine here."

Her voice was soft, but it was filled with an undeniable firmness.

This statement was not only an affirmation of her own situation, but also a tactful request that Li Siyuan leave as soon as possible, leaving her some space of her own.

Unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, Shen Xuan spoke again.

Li Siyuan stood up, looked at her profile, and recalled the message Cheng Lu had sent. A nameless worry welled up in his heart, fearing that this might be their last meeting.

This feeling made him fall into deep thought, as if a heavy pressure was pressing on his heart.

Shen Xuan glanced at him briefly, feeling that Li Siyuan was acting somewhat unusually today.

His expression was more solemn and complex than usual, and his eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.

"Go ahead, Weiwei needs you."

She spoke softly, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness, yet unwavering in its resolve.

“My mom is looking after Weiwei, so nothing will happen to her for the time being. But now I'm the only one here with you, how could I possibly leave you so easily?”

Li Siyuan spoke with righteous indignation.

His words were firm and powerful, every word filled with determination.

In fact, deep down he had a persistent thought: would Shen Xuan take this opportunity to escape?

He wondered if Shen Xuan intended to take the opportunity to escape.

Although on the surface his attitude towards her remained the same as usual, in his heart he had secretly decided to keep a close eye on her every move and see how she arranged her appointment with Cheng Lu.

Shen Xuan clenched her fists, realizing that Li Siyuan still showed no sign of leaving and remained there to protect her.

If things continue like this, there's absolutely no way to call Cheng Lu in person.

She originally planned to go directly to Cheng Lu after finishing talking about the Shen family.

However, Li Siyuan's appearance has completely disrupted her plans.

I wonder if Cheng Lu will take the initiative to contact me since she hasn't seen her yet.

As time ticked by, her anxiety grew.

What if Cheng Lu really gets anxious?

What if things get exposed?

"I'm really fine. You should go see Weiwei first, and then come back. I can't run anymore. In my current state, where do you think I can escape to?"

Shen Xuan tried her best to appear calm and sincere, hoping to convince Li Siyuan of her sincerity.

She was telling the truth; after all, given the current situation, she really had nowhere to go.

Li Siyuan stared at her for a long time, his gaze sharp as a knife, as if trying to see through her appearance to understand every subtle change in her heart.
