After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.
Chapter 199 Fading away
At this moment, his heart was filled with confusion and doubt: According to the previous itinerary, Shen Xuan should have been in Jiangcheng at this time, so why is he here now?
Is it because she doesn't dare to be open about finding a man in Jiangcheng, so she deliberately came to this city to meet him?
Thinking of this, a feeling of bitterness and displeasure rose in his heart, and this complex mix of emotions made it difficult for him to control himself.
He felt that his suspicions were not unfounded, but rather a deep sense of unease and betrayal.
Seeing her smiling and talking to others, he felt an urge to rush in and confront her.
However, driven by this emotion, he also felt the embarrassment his behavior might cause, but he couldn't control his agitation and almost rushed into the room to find out what had happened.
He walked to another corner, trying to remain calm, took out his phone from his pocket, quickly found her contact information, and dialed her number.
On the other end of the phone, he knew she should be able to see that it was him calling, but at this moment his feelings were extremely complicated. He both hoped for an explanation and worried that the answer might not be what he expected.
The quiet atmosphere in the private room was suddenly broken by the ringing of the telephone.
She took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID; her expression immediately changed slightly.
The smile that had been on his lips vanished instantly, replaced by a furrowed brow.
Without the slightest hesitation, she pressed the hang-up button.
Faced with such a sudden decision, her heart skipped a beat, fearing that she might miss something important or cause a bigger misunderstanding.
Lu Yuchen felt somewhat disappointed after seeing the rejected call information on the call log, and at the same time, he felt even more confused.
Without much thought, he immediately prepared to dial that familiar yet now unfamiliar number again.
However, when they tried to contact the other party again, they found that the line was busy, and the other party seemed to be talking to someone else.
This anxiety, coupled with his previous frustration, made him even more irritable.
At that moment, Li Siyuan's name appeared on the screen.
The name seemed to appear before her with some irresistible force, causing her heart to tighten suddenly.
Although she can easily refuse other people's calls normally, it's completely different with Li Siyuan.
If this matter is not handled carefully, the consequences could be extremely serious, and may even affect future work and personal life.
Realizing this, she had no choice but to answer the phone, even though she was very reluctant to do so.
"You seem quite busy. Since you're so busy, I won't bother you any longer."
The man clearly sensed that something was amiss and chose to take his leave at that moment, departing in a manner that was somewhat reluctant but still polite.
Then, he glanced down at his wristwatch and continued, "Looks like I have to catch my flight too. Let's get together another time."
After saying that, he gathered up his things on the table and prepared to leave.
"Ok!"
Shen Xuan responded with a word of agreement, and stood up to shake hands with the man to express her gratitude and goodbye.
Throughout the entire process, she was extremely polite and did not show any unusual expression.
As the man carrying his briefcase walked out of the room, the space suddenly felt much emptier.
Lu Yuchen, who was standing outside the door, was facing the wall when he inadvertently brushed past the man who had just come out.
Although they did not communicate directly, this brief encounter still touched him somewhat, and his feelings became more complicated.
Only after confirming that the figure was completely out of sight did Lu Yuchen take a deep breath, turn around, and go inside to look for Shen Xuan.
Just then, they saw the latter holding a cell phone that was on a call and busily organizing a file bag.
Neither of them expected to meet so suddenly, which resulted in the following scene.
As soon as Shen Xuan turned around, she bumped into Lu Yucheng, who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Startled, she loosened her grip on the phone, causing the small, delicate mobile device to fall from mid-air. At the same time, she took a slight step back, her heart pounding wildly.
After calming down a bit, she realized that the person standing in front of her was none other than Lu Yuchen, the one she had been longing for but who had also caused her endless confusion. She couldn't help but scold loudly, "How come you walk without making a sound! You scared me to death!"
His tone of voice was a mixture of anger and resentment.
Bending down to pick up the phone, she realized that she had accidentally dialed Li Siyuan's number, and it was now lying on the ground.
therefore……
When she saw that the screen still showed a call was in progress, she hurriedly picked up her phone and answered, "Hello?"
The moment I finished speaking, the other party hung up.
Even without being face-to-face, she could guess how gloomy Li Siyuan's face was through the cold screen.
Oops……
It seems that something has triggered his anger again.
At this moment, Lu Yucheng was standing to the side, completely unaware of her series of actions. He simply said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to go to such lengths to come to Lincheng to look for someone. Has your taste become so low-class lately? Why are you suddenly interested in this kind of style?"
"I used to think you were a pampered young lady who was not easy to approach, but I never expected you to be so easygoing."
The mask covered half of Shen Xuan's face, and her eyes, which were the only part of her face visible, looked extremely sharp. Her gaze was fixed on him.
"My trip here is purely for business negotiations, not as superficial and boring as you make it out to be. Lu Yucheng, don't you know me well enough?"
Her icy gaze and indifferent voice intertwined, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction.
Even if she didn't know why he was there, judging from his attitude, she was clearly unwilling to give him even the simplest polite response.
So, he turned around angrily and walked straight out.
Lu Yuchen frowned as he watched the receding figure, feeling a sense of bewilderment. When exactly did things turn out this way between them?
"Xiao Xuan".
He called out that name just before the figure disappeared.
Shen Xuan paused slightly in his direction.
How have you been lately?
Lu Yuchen's voice was full of gentle care, as if he was afraid that he might accidentally touch the other person's soft spot.
After a brief moment of thought, Shen Xuan replied indifferently, "It's alright."
He then left the place without lingering.
As no one returned for a long time, Gao Jing grew anxious and finally couldn't help but get up to find out what was going on.
Just as he stepped out of the room, he ran into Shen Xuan.
