After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.
Chapter 207 Are you worried I'll poison you?
"Li Siyuan, I feel so bad!"
She whispered, trying to prop herself up on her elbows, but all her strength seemed to have been drained away.
He quickly took off his suit jacket and tossed it aside, his movements appearing casual and impatient.
Then, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and stood there looking at her coldly, with a hint of concern hidden in his eyes.
She struggled to sit up, pressing her hand to her abdomen, her face as pale as a sheet of paper.
The pain she just experienced almost drove her to the brink of collapse.
In that instant, it felt like the world was spinning, and I was covered in cold sweat. For a moment, nothing felt right to me.
Sensing something was wrong, he frowned, his expression showing some anxiety.
He had only thought about asking Jiang Yu to use her car to run errands, without considering the bigger picture or preparing any emergency supplies for her.
Realizing he was unprepared for anything filled him with self-blame and helplessness.
Why didn't you say so sooner?
His voice softened a bit, and seeing her distressed expression, he felt a little more at ease.
Perhaps deep down, he still hoped to help her, even if it was just by expressing a hint of concern through his tone of voice.
She glared at him fiercely, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction, and struggled to her feet from the sofa. She walked straight to the bathroom, each step filled with pain and perseverance.
Seeing her walk into the bathroom, he stood there stunned for a moment, then silently took out his phone and made a call, clearly trying to contact someone to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
In less than fifteen minutes, the front desk brought over a black tote bag filled with various daily necessities.
Li Siyuan kept his eyes on the bathroom until he heard the water stop running, then slowly walked over and knocked on the door. "I left the things at the door."
The words were simple yet conveyed concern.
Shen Xuan did not respond, perhaps because she was unwell or perhaps because she did not want to say more.
He hesitated for a moment outside the door before turning around and sitting back on the sofa, his expression showing a hint of confusion and slight worry.
Through the frosted glass, she could vaguely see his figure gradually receding into the distance. Only then did she gently push open the bathroom door a crack, reach out and quickly grab the things placed on the floor, before closing the door tightly again, as if trying to block out all outside gazes and inquiries.
After a long while, she finally came out of the bathroom, wearing a wet shower cap.
Deliberately avoiding him sitting in the living room, she went straight into the bedroom and, in front of the French windows, carefully and meticulously rubbed her half-dry hair with a towel, taking advantage of the soft sunlight.
Actually, this was just an ordinary thing. If it weren't for him being there, I would never have appeared in front of him in such a disheveled state.
Seeing this, Li Siyuan calmly watched her enter the bedroom, then picked up a cup from the coffee table beside him and took a sip of tea, as if trying to calm himself down.
"for you."
His tone was noticeably gentler than before, and he slowly handed over the brown sugar water.
Shen Xuan merely glanced at the warm, slightly amber-colored liquid in the cup.
Noticing her somewhat cautious attitude, Li Siyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, then asked with a hint of provocation, "Are you worried I'll poison you? Don't you dare drink it?"
"Put it there."
Her response remained calm and composed, without any extra emotional fluctuations.
This person was known for his sharp tongue and meanness, so his sudden change in attitude surprised Shen Xuan and even made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing her reaction, Li Siyuan's expression softened slightly, and he casually put the cup aside.
Then he said to her, "Okay, I'm going to take a shower. Could you please get me some clean clothes to change into?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken off the watch on his wrist and removed all his other valuable jewelry, then placed them all on the bed.
Shen Xuan did not respond to his words, but merely glanced at his every move out of the corner of her eye.
She didn't look away until Li Siyuan had completely left the room.
She was holding a towel she had just taken out of the bathroom. She casually put it down and then began to open her suitcase, carefully taking out her clothes and placing them on the bed.
Just then, a slight vibration came from the side. It turned out that the screen of the phone he had left behind lit up, showing that the caller was Han Xin.
Upon hearing the name, Shen Xuan subconsciously frowned, but her body did not make any movement, as if the incessantly ringing phone had nothing to do with her. She remained focused on selecting clean and tidy shirts and trousers for Li Siyuan.
Not long after, the call ended automatically due to the long silence. After a brief period of quiet, the notification sound of a WeChat message was heard.
Just as Shen Xuan got up to neatly arrange the clothes she had packed, she inadvertently noticed new chat log fragments constantly popping up on the screen.
So she casually picked up the phone, which was completely unlocked, and unlocked it by swiping her fingers a few times. She then entered the system interface.
The messages on WeChat were all displayed at a glance, and the first one was from Han Xin.
This message lay quietly at the top of the chat history, as if waiting for a specific person to view it.
The second item is the chat history between Gao Jing and him.
This is a rather long text that details their recent interactions.
The time is today.
Today's date is clearly displayed at the top of the dialog box, seemingly reminding everyone that this happened today.
She didn't look at Han Xin's chat history, but instead clicked into Gao Jing's chat window with him.
This action reveals a particular emotion.
It could be worry, it could be curiosity, or it could be a curiosity about the truth.
Her expression changed several times as she read the contents.
Each sentence she read caused a slight change in her expression; sometimes she would furrow her brows, and sometimes a look of doubt would flash in her eyes. Clearly, this chat log contained a lot of content that shocked her.
The words "I see" echoed in my mind, and all my previous doubts were answered at this moment.
"No wonder Li Siyuan knew she wasn't in Jiangcheng last night, and was still able to find her so coincidentally."
She murmured to herself, her voice soft but filled with a sense of relief after a sudden realization.
When Li Siyuan walked out of the royal restaurant, Shen Xuan was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his phone, calling Cheng Lu.
Sunlight streams in through the clear glass, creating a soft yet warm lighting environment that gives people a sense of comfort.
