After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

She shook her head, looked at his sunny face, and shook her head again.

Lu Yuchen smiled and said, "When you were ten years old, you went to a banquet at sea with your grandfather. Do you remember when a naughty little boy pushed you off the ship?"

Shen Xuan's mind suddenly flashed back to that moment as if she had been electrocuted, but the memory was a little blurry, and she couldn't remember the whole incident clearly.

Later, it was Li Siyuan who rescued her.

She remembers it very clearly; the first thing she saw when she woke up was the boy's handsome face and deep eyes.

She was as beautiful as a star in the night sky, guiding people through the vast darkness; that was the light she pursued throughout her life.

In the years that followed, she often went to the Li family with her maternal grandfather. In the dreams she had as a teenager, she would often hide in a corner of the Li family and secretly watch that person.

Later, she married him as she wished, but she never saw such beautiful eyes in him again.

“Xuan, that time, I was the one who pulled you out of the sea. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so after I rescued you, I quietly slipped away.” Lu Yuchen said, standing to the side with his hands in his pockets.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan was stunned for a long time.

It turns out that the little guy who almost killed her back then was actually the person in front of her.

But he said that he was the one who saved her, which she found hard to believe.

He was quite young then, so where did he get the strength to pull himself ashore?

If it had been him instead of Li Siyuan in the first place, my life story might have been completely different.

“Ah Xuan, I don’t really want you to resign. However, the Shen family’s affairs also need your attention. How about this, I’ll let you take a break for a while, and when you’ve thought it through and really want to leave, come find me.”

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuchen had already strolled over, sat on the sofa next to her, leaned down, rested his elbows on his thighs, interlocked his fingers, and pondered carefully.

She looked up at the person in front of her, at that sunny face, and felt a little conflicted. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mr. Lu, thank you so much."

“Ah Xuan, if you think about it that way, we’ve known each other for over ten years. Since we’ve known each other for so long, we’re old friends. There’s no need to be so polite between friends; let’s just call each other by our names from now on.”

"Okay," Shen Xuan replied calmly.

His gaze held a strange familiarity that made her feel uneasy, and Shen Xuan awkwardly touched her neck.

Lu Yuchen noticed her confusion and smiled, "Ah Xuan, if there's anything I can help with, please let me know."

"Yeah!" she nodded.

……

After leaving the office, she received a call from Li Siyuan.

Shen Xuan leaned against the corridor, casually tucking her hair behind her ear, and answered the phone with a heavy heart.

"To thank you for the surprise you sent about the divorce, I've returned the favor with a gift. How about it? Do you like it?"

At this moment, Li Siyuan was in a luxurious presidential suite, wearing a white bathrobe, and lazily sat down on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window from the bathroom.

“Li Siyuan, if you’re calling just to show off your victory, there’s really no need for that. After all, I’ve been your Mrs. Li for three whole years, so I can actually handle this kind of pressure.”

"Is that so?" He then sneered, "What if we add a little something extra, like targeting the Xuanmao Group? What do you think?"

Shen Xuan's heart tightened suddenly: "Li Siyuan, the person you hate is me, it has nothing to do with President Lu. Besides, I have already left Xuanmao, can you please stop involving irrelevant people?"

"What, I haven't even started to deal with Xuanmao yet, and you're already in a hurry to stand up for them?"

Then, he stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll give you a chance. I think you should come back and beg me. Perhaps I'll spare you because of the three years you've served the Li family!"

Shen Xuan gritted her teeth and said firmly, "Li Siyuan, what makes you think you can threaten me? You must be curious about what your grandfather said to me the other day when I went to see him."

Li Siyuan remained silent, but Shen Xuan said coldly, "Li Siyuan, if something happens to the Shen family, do you want Grandpa to enjoy his old age in peace, or are you planning to anger him to death?"

Considering that the old man was there and could keep things in check to some extent, Shen Xuan felt that the Li family wouldn't do anything to the Shen family, so she used the old man as a shield.

Li Siyuan's face immediately darkened.

"Shen Xuan, I really underestimated you!" he said through gritted teeth.

Indeed, what wouldn't a woman who has been planning a divorce for so long do!

But she actually dared to use my grandfather to intimidate me.

Li Siyuan couldn't help but sneer, "Shen Xuan, you've really gone to great lengths to harm Grandpa behind his back. What, when did you become like this, not even sparing an old man?"

Shen Xuan said, "Li Siyuan, you don't love me at all, so I'll respect your decision. Since you like Han Xin, I'll step aside. Why are you still pushing me like this?"

"Li Siyuan, you can disregard our three years of friendship, but now that you've decided to sign, stop bothering me. If you think you can threaten me, then go ahead and try."

After saying that, Shen Xuan hung up the phone without waiting for the other person to speak again.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Li Siyuan's anger surged to the top of his head.

This feeling of being led by the nose is really unpleasant.

Shen Xuan stood pressed tightly against the wall, her plain face showing signs of exhaustion.

Until Cheng Lu came looking for her.

"Ah Xuan, are you really going to resign?"

She was dressed in simple casual clothes, walked directly up to Shen Xuan, and asked with a serious expression.

"Xiao Lu..."

Shen Xuan's voice was a little choked up.

In fact, she didn't want to leave this place, and she didn't want to be forced back into the Shen family.

That's just to find a reason to leave.

Ever since her father called to tell her about the Shen family, her mood has been fluctuating.

"Ah Xuan, I know you're reluctant to leave. How about I talk to President Lu and ask him to find a way to send you abroad?"

Shen Xuan stared blankly at her, then remembered Li Siyuan's words, and her face immediately fell: "No need, it's unnecessary."

Besides, if I really wanted to go abroad, I would have left long ago. How could I have waited until now?

She thought that since Li Siyuan couldn't stand to see her doing well, she would prove to him that she could live well without the Li family, and that his threats were meaningless to her.

"Xiaolu, I've made up my mind. I'll go back to the Shen family first, and then decide whether to stay or leave."

"Have you decided?"

Cheng Lu asked earnestly.

"Um!"

She nodded.

I returned to my post, packed up my things, and sealed some items away.

Yin Xuan leaned closer and asked, "Ah Xuan, you and Mr. Li...you two..."

After that incident, they were all quite surprised by her background.

After all, Li Siyuan's first scandal with Han Xin, and then this mess with Shen Xuan, really shocked everyone.
