Upon seeing this, Li Siyuan suddenly jumped up from his seat, his emotions, which had already calmed down, were reignited by her action.

"At least let me see you downstairs!"

He blurted it out almost reflexively.

However, after pausing for a second, Shen Xuan turned his back and replied, "Really, there's no need to trouble yourself. You can stay and keep Weiwei company. I've already arranged a meeting time with Cheng Lu, and she'll be here soon."

Upon hearing the familiar female companion's name, for some reason, an inexplicable sense of irritation surged into Li Siyuan's heart. It seemed that in his eyes, it was the existence of this girl named Cheng Lu that made Shen Xuan maintain such a clear distance between him and her.

Then she quickened her pace and left the room, her steps filled with determination, as if she wanted to completely leave the past behind.

Upon seeing this, Li Siyuan's brows furrowed instantly, and a complex and unreadable emotion flashed in his eyes.

As he stood there watching her figure recede into the distance, he exuded a strong desire for control, his fists clenched so tightly they were almost painfully hard.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Xuan sighed softly and stood by the roadside to tidy up her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind.

A gust of autumn wind swept by, and her hair trembled slightly in the air, disheveled and messy.

Her hands were deeply tucked into her pockets, her face almost bloodless, and a few strands of hair occasionally blew by the wind, obscuring her cheeks and making her already tired face look even more haggard and helpless.

Her mood was as heavy and melancholy as the falling leaves.

The phone I was holding tightly suddenly vibrated slightly, but enough to send a shiver down my spine.

Shen Xuan immediately pulled his hand out of his warm and deep pocket, quickly took out his phone, and stared at the screen for a while before answering the call.

"Hello, hello."

Her voice carried a hint of politeness and caution, as if she sensed something bad was about to happen.

An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the receiver: "Is this Ms. Shen Xuan? This is the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau. Please note that there is a problem with your passport, which cannot be used to exit the country. Please come in as soon as possible to handle the relevant matters."

This sudden question startled and puzzled Shen Xuan. Her fingers unconsciously twirled a strand of black hair that had fallen from the corner of her mouth as she softly asked, "But I remember my passport was processed without any flaws. How could there be a problem?"

"It's difficult for us to explain this to you over the phone. We hope you can come in person to understand the specific situation, and we will answer your questions on site."

Just then, her friend Cheng Lu parked her car next to her and waited for her. Shen Xuan quickly packed her things and got into the car.

"Well, it seems I'll have to trouble myself to make the trip again."

After hanging up the call, a look of disappointment was hard to hide on her delicate face.

Noticing her friend's unusual expression, Cheng Lu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked with concern, "Honey, what happened? You look like you've run into a problem."

At this moment, Shen Xuan bit her lip, her eyes somewhat vacant. She said weakly, "There might be something wrong with my passport. I need to go to the bureau as soon as possible to see what the situation is before I can make a decision."

Hearing the other party's answer, Cheng Lu couldn't help but frown, wondering what this unexpected situation at such a crucial time really meant.

Behind them, Li Siyuan sat quietly in the back seat of the car. Through the front mirror, a hint of dissatisfaction could be clearly seen flashing in his cold eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu whispered a suggestion: "Boss, it might not be good if we stop Miss Shen from doing this."

"Let her stay here for a few days, and we'll talk about it after I've sorted things out at the branch office."

Li Siyuan said calmly, his tone gentle but with an imperceptible firmness.

"But this can't be kept secret for long."

Jiang Yu continued to raise objections, his brows furrowed, clearly somewhat worried about the decision.

He was well aware of the difficulty of concealing the truth, and that the longer it went on, the harder it would be to control the situation.

"Let her reapply for the relevant documents to go abroad; a few days should be enough."

Li Siyuan said calmly, as if he had considered this method many times in his mind and it was the most reasonable solution at present.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu remained silent, a multitude of questions welling up in his mind.

My boss's actions this time are truly baffling and completely unconventional.

He knew that Li Siyuan was always decisive, but this time his actions were completely beyond his comprehension.

"Let's go to the company first."

Li Siyuan said softly, while turning his gaze to the window.

The city's night view flashed past the glass window, appearing exceptionally tranquil and distant.

Although his voice was calm, it carried an undeniable authority.

Jiang Yu, who was driving in front, instinctively gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the gas.

The car accelerated rapidly and drove forward.

He could feel an inexplicable pressure, as if it foreshadowed that what awaited them was more than just simple official business.

A few days later, Shen Xuan was sitting at her desk in the Shen Group office building.

The sunlight streaming in through the window added a touch of warmth to the otherwise serious work environment.

A computer was placed in front of her, and a foreign news report was automatically playing on the screen, attracting her attention.

She frowned as she stared at the figure of the man in the picture.

That familiar and handsome face still wore a bright, sunny smile, as if nothing had changed.

Since that separation, Lu Yuchen has left the city and returned to his hometown to continue managing the family business.

She knew that his departure was probably because he was disappointed in her.

This thought had been lingering in her mind for a long time, causing her immense pain.

Thinking of this, her eyes dimmed.

Returning everything Chen Xiuwen left behind to her would, for Lu Yuchen, mean the end of their relationship.

The heavy feeling made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Just then, her phone rang. She turned her head and saw that the caller ID showed Li Shulian as the caller.

During this period, Li Shulian frequently contacted Li Siyuan after he went to another city.

Perhaps because he had saved Weiwei, she seemed to be changing her opinion of him.

Shen Xuan gently pressed the answer button, preparing for the upcoming call.

Pressing the answer button, Li Shulian said anxiously on the other end of the phone, "Xiao Xuan, come quickly! Weiwei is crying and fussing again. I don't know what to do. I'm very worried that he's encountered some trouble again. You know, I'm not very good at taking care of children, let alone when he suddenly cries like this."
