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

After all, the main purpose of this journey is to find oneself, and having others accompany you would only bring additional burdens.

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan paused for a moment, stiffly flipping through the magazine pages in his hand. Then, his lips twitched slightly in resignation, and he could only accept reality by saying a single word: "Okay."

Seeing this, Shen Xuan gently tapped the tip of his nose with the tip of his pen and fell into deep thought.

She stole a glance at him, surprised that this usually difficult person would agree to her request so readily. This was indeed quite unexpected.

But for some reason, I always felt that things weren't over so simply...

It felt like he was following a pre-planned route, which was quite puzzling.

What's even stranger is that he didn't ask me where I was going. Wasn't he afraid that I would run away and never come back?

This attitude is truly baffling.

Normally, if someone has the idea of ​​running away, their biggest concern is where they are going, but he seemed completely indifferent to it, which puzzled Shen Xuan.

No, he must know something.

She firmly believed that the person in front of her couldn't possibly be unaware of her plans.

Perhaps he already knew everything and had prepared a countermeasure.

After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you ask me where I'm going?"

Her voice carried a hint of questioning, hoping to get a reassuring answer.

"Will you tell me?"

He didn't look up at her, but casually flipped through a magazine on the table. His brows furrowed at first, then slowly relaxed, and he sighed softly.

This seemingly casual statement actually reveals a hint of helplessness and expectation.

Clearly, he didn't have much hope of getting the truth.

Shen Xuan's gaze instantly dimmed. "Did you investigate me again?"

This statement sounds like an accusation, but it reveals more of a sense of powerlessness and loss, as if one's life is completely controlled by others and one has lost the freedom to choose.

"Do I really need to investigate your affairs? I don't know what to say anymore, Shen Xuan. Isn't the Shen family enough for you to worry about? Do you have to create more trouble?"

In response to her question, Li Siyuan's answer was direct and sharp.

Her words expressed both helplessness about the current situation and dissatisfaction with her behavior.

His words made the atmosphere much heavier.

Her heart tightened instantly. He hadn't realized that she was planning to escape, and all of this was simply because Shen Zhentao didn't want to return to the company and take control.

Thinking about the crisis her father's attitude brought to the family, she couldn't help but feel anxious about the predicament she was about to face.

This concern extends beyond personal fate; it also involves considerations for the future of the entire family.

Thinking that Han Xin was staying at the Li family's house while he stayed here with her, she felt very uncomfortable. "Shouldn't you go back and see Han Xin? She's waiting for you at the Li family's house, and you've been spending all day with me. Your family might not be happy."

While these words appeared to be for the other person's sake, they were actually more like an opportunity to vent her complex emotions. Jealousy, anxiety, and irritability were intertwined, making it impossible for her to remain calm.

Upon hearing Han Xin's name, Li Siyuan's expression turned ugly. "I didn't marry her, so what kind of wife is she? As for that child, I still don't understand what happened."

His tone clearly conveyed dissatisfaction and distress.

Faced with such a sudden and unidentified character appearing in life, anyone would probably have a similar reaction.

She gave a cold laugh and said no more.

The smile at this moment seems to be a product of self-protection, an attempt to shield oneself from all negative stimuli from the outside world, while also showing a stubborn and independent attitude.

Li Siyuan glanced at her sideways, knowing that she must think he was shirking responsibility.

To prove his innocence and clear up the misunderstanding between them, he took out the report folder from his pocket, frowned slightly, and gently opened the document with his slender fingers, deciding to take a look at its contents.

This action demonstrates his effort to clarify the current situation and reflects the sense of responsibility expected of a responsible man.

Seeing the report stating that Han Xin had type A blood, the weight on his heart finally lifted, proving that he hadn't misunderstood her, which made him feel much more relaxed.

The sense of relief he felt after the truth was revealed relaxed his tense nerves.

Although many unknowns still need to be explored further, at least this key issue has now been resolved.

Li Siyuan leaned back in his seat, gazing into the distance through the car window. His hands unconsciously gripped the steering wheel tightly, his brows furrowed, and his expression revealed a deep loneliness and melancholy.

Lu Yuchen stood to the side, looking ahead, his mind clear as a mirror, understanding perfectly that Shen Xuan had been deliberately keeping her distance, preventing him from getting close.

Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback, then quickly walked to his car, opened the driver's side door, and almost impatiently got in.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the people in the car opposite, but her brows quickly furrowed.

The two looked into each other's eyes. Although she couldn't discern the emotions in the other person's eyes, she could still feel the deep regret and loss overflowing in those profound eyes.

She gently lowered her head and started the car.

Just then, Lu Yuchen quickly opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.

Shen Xuan's face turned ugly, her fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly, her tone cold and distant: "I didn't choose anyone. Do you have some special purpose in barging in here now?"

Lu Yuchen's expression was initially very serious, but then gradually softened, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I just can't stand seeing Li Siyuan treat you like this, really. If you think I did something wrong, then just pretend I didn't say anything. But please remember one thing: if you don't let me go with you, I'll stay here forever."

Shen Xuan bit her lip. "Yu Chen, you were never like this before. Why have you become a stranger to me, someone I don't even recognize, and even somewhat dislike?"

Hearing this, Lu Yucheng just gave a cold laugh, "Is this the difference between me and Li Siyuan in your eyes? Even if we both lose face, do you still prefer his way of handling things?"

After saying this, Shen Xuan decisively drove away, quickly overtook Li Siyuan's car which was waiting for her on the side, and sped forward.

Sitting in the car, Li Siyuan's face was ashen, and he was enveloped by an unprecedented chill that seemed to have eroded all his reason.
