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

There seemed to be a hint of disbelief in his voice. He had originally planned to use the Li family to cause some trouble for Lu Yuchen, but he did not expect that everything would progress so quickly and the situation would have already calmed down.

Hearing these words, Gao Jing, who was outside the door, clenched her fists involuntarily.

She stood there silently, listening intently to every word spoken in the room.

Then, another slightly puzzled voice came from inside, "Has Gao Wei been looking for someone lately?"

These words sounded both curious and wary.

Another person in the room responded, "I'm not entirely sure about that, but he does appear frequently near the hospital."

The person answered quite cautiously, as if unwilling to reveal too much.

"Is he sick himself?"

Lu Shuli immediately followed up with a question, clearly very interested in the news.

"I don't think so. You can't tell from his appearance that he has a health problem."

The man shook his head, trying to offer his own guess.

"Forget it, now you should assign more men to keep an eye on Lu Yucheng's every move. Under no circumstances should he be allowed to set foot in Jiangcheng again. If necessary, have Shen Xuan go to Hucheng to stay by his side as a cover."

Lu Shuli's voice became resolute when she gave the order, as if she had no intention of leaving any room for negotiation.

Hearing this, the man hesitated slightly: "But the problem is that this young lady of the Shen family has the powerful Li Siyuan and the entire Li family behind her. It might not be appropriate to do this. Besides, our young master doesn't seem to be so insistent on the matter of the first wife anymore. Perhaps we should choose a more prudent approach."

Faced with such doubts, Lu Shuli smiled coldly: "On the surface, he seems to not care, but who can say for sure what he's really thinking? In short, you must pay closer attention to everything that happens in Hucheng, and at the same time, you must carefully handle your relationship with the Lu family. You can't let that old man interfere with my plans."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent once more.

Sensing that the conversation was about to end, the person who had been given the task prepared to leave.

Almost simultaneously, Gao Jing, who was hiding in the shadows by the door, instinctively stood up and quickly moved toward the security door behind her.

She wore a clean white hat and a simple yet energetic tracksuit, looking both lively and spirited.

At this moment, she was gripping the straps of her backpack tightly, her whole body pressed against the corner as if it had merged with the wall, the words she had just heard repeating in her mind.

Recalling what Lu Shuli had just said, Gao Jing's expression became even more gloomy, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Despite the turmoil in her heart, she did not impulsively rush into the room to confront them. Instead, she carefully chose another path: she quietly went downstairs through the open emergency exit and left the place, leaving behind an empty space.

Meanwhile, in another space within the office, Shen Xuan sat in a chair with a complicated expression, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the man opposite her who had his back to her.

At this moment, she felt extremely uneasy. The oppressive atmosphere emanating from the other person made the whole room shrouded in an indescribable tension.

She put her phone on silent and received a message from Cheng Lu.

The message read: "You've got your passport back. When are you planning to leave?"

Shen Xuan stared at the text on the screen for a while, thinking about the best way to answer, and finally decided to be honest: "It'll probably be in the next few days."

Her fingers tapped rapidly on the screen in response.

"Then what about your situation here?"

Not long after, another message appeared in the chat box, clearly indicating that Cheng Lu was very concerned about her departure.

She pressed her lips together, thought for a moment, and then said in a slightly firm tone, "I'll be back in a few days, it won't have any impact."

Despite saying that, she knew in her heart that this trip was not a simple vacation, but a way of escaping herself.

Nevertheless, this brief departure was still quite important to her.

"do you need my help?"

Cheng Lu's kindness warmed Shen Xuan's heart, but it also made her realize that she had to face all problems independently. "No need, I can manage on my own."

These few words, though simple and clear, are full of determination and strength.

She sent this reply to a friend, hoping that the friend could understand and support her decision.

Looking up at the other person's indifferent profile, Shen Xuan's heart was filled with complex emotions.

Her fingers began to fly across the screen, typing a few lines of text, hoping to find the right words to explain her plan to the indifferent man in front of her.

However, Li Siyuan, who was sitting next to him, was leisurely reading a fashion magazine with his legs crossed, and did not notice the actions of the person next to him.

This made Shen Xuan sigh. Perhaps he would never truly care about his own thoughts?

After a long while, she finally mustered up the courage to call out, "Li Siyuan!"

She hoped to get a response, even if it was just a turn of her head or a simple question.

To her disappointment, the other person only uttered a soft "hmm," without turning around or saying anything else.

This brief and indifferent reply was like a cold knife cutting into my heart, instantly filling the air with an even more oppressive atmosphere, making me feel incredibly heavy and suffocated.

The entire room seemed to be filled with an indescribable pressure, making the already unpleasant relationship between the two even more delicate.

Shen Xuan opened her mouth as if to explain something, but when she saw that the other person was still focused on the book in their hands and ignoring her, she chose to give up.

She gripped the pen on the table tightly, her gaze lingering on that familiar figure for a long time before she whispered, "I'm planning to go on a trip for a few days."

Although I had a premonition that my suggestion might be rejected, I decided to try and see if I could successfully persuade the other party to agree to my request.

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan didn't seem to show much interest or objection, but calmly asked in return, "A few days?"

The question came so suddenly that Shen Xuan, who thought everything was about to fall into silence, was startled and couldn't help but look up at the man who always kept his distance from her.

Every time I make eye contact with him, I feel an indescribable emotional fluctuation, which is even more pronounced at this moment.

"It will probably take about ten days to two weeks, but the exact timeframe hasn't been decided yet."

She answered in the most natural way possible, trying to ease the tension between them.

"Want me to go with you?"

Shen Xuan was somewhat surprised to hear him say those words.

Although I was grateful for this rare kindness, I didn't want to appear too dependent on the other person. "No need, I can manage on my own."

So I gave the answer without hesitation.
