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

She nodded slightly, said nothing more, but clutched her coat collar tightly, as if that would give her a greater sense of security, before turning and walking into the yard.

Lu Yuchen watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance, blurring under the dim light until it vanished. A sense of loss and indescribable heartache welled up in his heart.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to know what Shen Xuandan was thinking. Although the emotions that flickered in her eyes just now did make him feel a special connection between them, her cold attitude afterwards seemed to be deliberately avoiding something, as if telling him not to have any expectations for this feeling.

As soon as Shen Xuan entered the house, she turned on the living room light, assuming that she was the only one at home.

However, at that moment, a figure unexpectedly appeared on the sofa, which startled her as she had just experienced a complex emotional ordeal.

"Why did you get in?"

Shen Xuan questioned him in an unusually cold tone, while staring intently at the other person. Her heart was pounding faster and faster from the sudden shock, as if it would jump out of her chest at any moment.

Li Siyuan looked up at Shen Xuan, paused for a moment, and then began to scrutinize her carefully. His gaze finally settled on the coat casually draped over her shoulder, and his brows immediately revealed obvious dissatisfaction and displeasure.

"Take it off!"

These two words were almost squeezed out through gritted teeth, each word carrying barely suppressed anger.

Shen Xuan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Her heart was filled with doubt and confusion. She couldn't understand why Li Siyuan had suddenly become so angry. This inexplicable emotion confused and frightened her.

"Why are you throwing a tantrum here? Did you hear what I said? Either you wait and I'll take your clothes off myself."

His voice was deep and threatening, each word like a heavy hammer blow to her chest.

Shen Xuan could only bite her lip tightly, and she could almost feel the blood seeping out.

Faced with his anger, she was powerless to resist and could only slowly unbutton her coat and throw it into a corner of the sofa.

The dress seemed like some kind of burden, making it hard for her to breathe.

This unbearable need for control is truly terrifying.

Shen Xuan felt as if she were tightly bound, trapped in an invisible cage, making even breathing heavy and difficult.

"Throw it away!"

He continued to command, his tone becoming even colder and more ruthless.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan involuntarily shivered. She covered her forehead with her hands, feeling powerless to cope with everything.

"Li Siyuan, can't you just give orders like this in my own home? What exactly do you want?"

Her voice trembled and choked with sobs, yet she still tried to maintain the last shred of dignity and resistance.

He quickly stood up, strode over to the coat that had just been taken off, folded it a few times, and threw it directly into the trash can.

The movements were swift and decisive, leaving the opponent no room for maneuver whatsoever.

"you!"

Shen Xuan immediately responded with a furious rage.

She couldn't understand this domineering behavior, and anger rose within her.

"If you want to keep causing trouble here, go ahead, but I don't have time to play this game with you."

She forced back her tears, said these words fiercely, and then turned to go upstairs, hoping to escape this suffocating situation.

However, the next second he grabbed her wrist tightly, and then a forceful and domineering kiss silenced her lips.

This sudden action caught her off guard, leaving her with absolutely no chance to resist.

This action caused her previously healed lip to tear open again, and the taste of blood mixed with alcohol instantly flooded her mouth, making her almost vomit.

Shen Xuan then realized that he had been drinking.

This discovery made her even more anxious and uneasy, and the strong smell of alcohol even made her feel nauseous.

He finally let go of her, but then immediately hoisted her onto his shoulder and walked upstairs without any mercy.

Every step he took was as steady as a rock, as if the whole world was making way for him.

Shen Xuan had just caught her breath when she suddenly felt a lightness in her body, as if she had turned into a bag of goods and was easily carried on Li Siyuan's shoulder as they walked upstairs.

This sudden action caught her off guard, and she instantly felt dizzy and almost lost consciousness.

When she felt the solidity of the ground again, she realized that she had been thrown heavily onto the bed.

The pain that shot through her body the moment her back touched the bed felt like an electric shock, causing her to furrow her brow.

As she tried to prop herself up with her arms to sit up, a tall figure appeared in her line of sight—Li Siyuan had already quickly pressed down on her.

"Li Siyuan, I'm not available right now, so please don't do anything rash."

These words were almost squeezed out from Shen Xuan's trembling lips.

At this moment, Li Siyuan not only did not give her a chance to say more, but also lowered his head further, almost bringing his entire face close to hers.

His warm breath brushed against her neck, giving her an unconscious feeling of being completely enveloped.

Although she was puzzled by his intense behavior, seeing him seemingly lose his rational judgment filled her with an indescribable fear, and she dared not speak or do anything else.

For a moment, Li Siyuan did not make any move, but simply stroked her neck area repeatedly.

Sensing that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions, Shen Xuan decided to be brave and tried to push away the man who was pressing down on her.

Having finally found a chance to create a little space, she immediately struggled to her feet from his oppression and practically scrambled towards the door, successfully escaping into a nearby room.

The first thing to do upon entering the next room is to quickly close the door and tighten the deadbolt to ensure temporary safety.

My nerves were on edge, and I could clearly hear each of my heartbeats.

Looking around the temporary shelter, the space seemed empty except for a simple small bed.

All the blankets used for warmth and cover were placed in a cabinet in another storage room.

I originally wanted to go out and get some blankets for the night, but I hesitated after taking just one step because I thought there might be unknown dangers lurking outside.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, decided to abandon her plans to go out, and instead walked to the only wooden wardrobe in the room and gently opened the sliding door.

There were several coats hanging in the closet, though their designs were rather old-fashioned. They were exceptionally thick and warm. He randomly picked two to wear and used one of them as a thin blanket to cover his body.
