After getting out of the car, she looked up in his direction, her expression changing slightly.

At that moment, her eyes met his, and a strange emotion welled up in her heart, as if a long-lost feeling was arising spontaneously.

Lu Yucheng didn't say anything more, but just picked up her car keys and went inside. Before leaving, he deliberately tossed her keys in the air.

His composed movements suggested that he was already quite adept at handling such situations.

Shen Xuan watched his retreating figure as he entered the room, feeling a mix of helplessness and resentment.

She desperately wanted to leave right then and there, but the scene before her left her feeling helpless and unsure of what to do.

She didn't actually want to stay here overnight, but if Lu Yucheng took her back to Jiangcheng now, they would probably have another conflict.

The tense atmosphere between the two of them made her feel unusually heavy, as if an argument could break out at any moment.

The two of them walked into the hotel together.

As she walked through the lobby, Shen Xuan noticed that people around her were casting curious glances at her, but she tried her best to remain calm and ignore them.

We arrived at the presidential suite.

The room was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city.

Everything inside was high-end and elegant, clearly a place prepared specifically for distinguished guests.

He casually tossed a bunch of keys onto the coffee table.

This unintentional gesture seemed to silently tell Shen Xuan that he was the master of the place tonight, and everything was subject to his arrangements.

Shen Xuan took off her watch and said to Lu Yuchen, who was sitting on the sofa, "Alright, I'm going to rest now. You can leave."

She hoped to end the awkward atmosphere as soon as possible and let things pass quickly.

"It's rare to see you here, sit with me for a while."

Lu Yuchen sat steadily on the sofa, showing no intention of leaving, seemingly deep in thought about something.

His words sounded calm and sincere, but Shen Xuan knew that this was not a simple request.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Shen Xuan's face.

Even with a mask on, those bright black eyes were still sharp enough to see through everything.

She knew she couldn't resist his demands, but she also knew that she was already at her limit of exhaustion.

"You should leave now, I'm really tired and just want to rest for a while."

She tried her best to make her tone firm, hoping to persuade Lu Yucheng to leave and give her some private space.

Lu Yuchen turned his head and his gaze lingered on her face, which was half covered by a mask. He felt a little awkward looking at her.

The outline of the mask was clearly visible, as if it were telling a story of an unspeakable distance.

He got up, reached for the room key and room card on the coffee table, and left without saying anything more.

The footsteps faded into the distance, leaving a silence in the air, like some unresolved matter hanging in the balance.

As Shen Xuan watched him leave, she felt even more exhausted.

As the figure receded into the distance, a heavy shadow fell upon her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

He left the room, but it seemed he took something even more important with him, leaving her feeling empty inside.

He took her key. Was he afraid she would run away in the middle of the night?

The thought suddenly came to her mind, startling her.

Perhaps in his eyes, he had truly become an untrustworthy being.

She felt a sense of powerlessness and helplessness.

She quickly took out her phone and dialed Li Siyuan's number.

The contact names displayed on the screen seemed like the only lifeline they could grasp at that moment.

However, the call went unanswered for a long time.

The sound of waiting echoed in her ears, each notification tone like a resounding slap across her face.

That feeling of helplessness enveloped her once again.

Disappointed, she put down her phone, silently lamenting to herself that Li Siyuan would probably mistakenly think she had come out specifically to find Lu Yuchen.

I just wanted to confide in someone I could trust about my inner turmoil, but instead I fell into a deeper misunderstanding.

Although they were not in the same place, she could already guess what Li Siyuan was feeling at this moment.

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, that coldness and suspicion seem to transcend space and strike the softest part of the heart, leaving one defenseless.

After Lu Yuchen had completely left, she locked the door and then tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

The night was as dark as ink, and a sense of loneliness crept into her heart, making her feel increasingly uneasy.

Every time I turned over, it seemed to intensify my anxiety and unease, as if countless thoughts were constantly entangled and churning in my mind.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, she heard someone knocking on her door.

She heard a faint knocking sound, like a distant alarm, which roused her from her slumber.

Shen Xuan suddenly jumped out of bed, her tired gaze sweeping towards the door, her heart filled with confusion and doubt.

Lu Yuchen, dressed in a white bathrobe, appeared before her, instantly waking her from her drowsy state.

The white robe draped loosely over his body, appearing both casual and elegant, making it difficult for anyone to adjust to this sudden intrusion.

His appearance was like a ray of light before dawn, breaking the silence of the night and forcing her to get up and face it.

"Isn't it inappropriate for you to come here so early in the morning like this?"

Her words carried a hint of reproach, but also an indescribable tension.

I didn't bring a change of clothes last night, so I was still dressed properly even when I went to bed and didn't embarrass myself in front of him.

Thinking of this, she felt a little comforted.

"I brought you some breakfast. Eat it before you go back."

Lu Yuchen's words were concise and clear, yet they conveyed an undeniable determination.

Shen Xuan nodded involuntarily. Although she had some questions, she didn't say anything more.

She got up, drew back the curtains, and let the sunlight stream in, which brightened her mood considerably.

Golden morning light streamed through the glass window, illuminating the room and dispelling the gloom.

The air became much fresher, as if the gloom in my heart had been dispelled.

She turned to look at him and saw that he had already put his things on the table, but she still didn't understand why Lu Yuchen was dressed like this to come to her room.

This attire seemed out of character for him.

The doorbell rang suddenly, and she felt a sudden jolt of unease wash over her.

The sudden ringing of the bell shattered the brief peace, making her heart tense again.

Is this sudden voice a friend or a foe?

The unknown is always accompanied by fear.

She hesitated to open the door, her heart pounding, her mind racing with all sorts of speculations, unsure of how to react.

A moment later, Lu Yuchen put down what he was holding and went to open the door when he heard the doorbell ring.

Seeing his calm demeanor, she felt a little more relaxed, but the tension lingered for a long time.

Shen Xuan was about to go up and stop him, but before she could even speak, he had already impatiently pulled the door open.

Standing outside the door was Li Siyuan.
