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

Gao Jing smiled and replied, "Actually, there's nothing inconvenient about it. We share similar interests and have a lot to talk about, so it's easy for us to chat. In fact, it feels quite nice. Besides, I don't know many people here, so I'm happy to have someone to keep me company."

Her voice was full of sincerity, as if she were expressing her innermost feelings.

"So how long do you plan to keep Fei Yan here before she comes back to me?"

Shen Xuan spoke casually, as if chatting with a good friend, without any sense of pressure.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jing's smile vanished instantly, and her expression darkened slightly. "Sister Xuanxuan, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'let's go back'? Do you know something?"

Seeing this, Shen Xuan quickly explained, "Oh, Xiao Jing, don't overthink it. I was just asking casually. If you think this is convenient, then let Fei Yan continue to accompany you."

Her tone remained relaxed, but a hint of worry flickered in her eyes.

"Xiaojing, don't you really understand what I mean?"

Shen Xuan stared intently into her eyes and pressed for an answer.

Gao Jing was stunned for a moment, then looked up slightly at Shen Xuan's face. A surge of nervousness rose in her heart, and her heart suddenly raced. "Sister Xuanxuan, what are you saying?"

She tried to confirm again, but dared not look away from her profile for even a moment, as if afraid of missing the slightest change in her expression.

Shen Xuan frowned slightly, gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and his expression became much more serious.

“I really don’t want to lose you as a friend, so there are some things I need to make clear. You know, some things between adults really shouldn’t be something your age should be involved in. This time, I can choose to forgive the mistake you made, but it probably wouldn’t be so easy for other people. I hope you can understand my good intentions.”

Gao Jing didn't know what to say for a moment. She remained silent for a while, then lowered her head and pondered quietly.

Seeing this, Shen Xuan took a deep breath and continued, "Not letting them go directly to Fei Yan is also to prevent Li Siyuan from finding out. You know his personality very well. If he knew these things, things would become even more complicated. I've made this very clear, haven't I?"

Hearing this, Gao Jing was startled. She looked at Shen Xuan again, only to see her still sitting there calmly. She couldn't help but ask, "How do you know all this?"

She tried to keep her tone calm, but her heart was full of doubts.

Shen Xuan smiled, her eyes filled with warmth. "I've always liked you. I felt a connection with you from the first moment I saw you. Let's forget about the misunderstandings from before. I just hope that nothing like that will happen again. This is my sincere advice to you, Xiao Jing."

Gao Jing bit her lower lip and finally mustered the courage to ask the question that had been on her mind, "You don't mind these things because of my father?"

"No, I didn't do this because of your father, and I'm certainly not his so-called illegitimate daughter. This has nothing to do with your father. I just really like you as my younger sister and don't want to see you go astray. You're young, and you have a long road ahead of you. I don't want anything bad to affect your life. These are my true thoughts, Xiaojing."

"Sister Xuanxuan..."

Gao Jing was speechless for a moment, as if something was blocking her throat, and even her voice became hoarse.

A hazy mist seemed to appear before her eyes, making her thoughts chaotic.

The inner turmoil is like a turbulent sea.

Looking back on those days, Gao Jing had tried to hurt her several times and even plotted some things that were detrimental to Shen Xuan.

Even so, Shen Xuan still chose forgiveness and reconciliation, caring for her gently like a true older sister.

This selfless love made Gao Jing feel deeply insignificant, as if she were truly unworthy of this profound sisterly affection.

Not long after, the car slowly stopped downstairs in the apartment complex where they lived.

Noticing the unusual expression on the person beside her, Shen Xuan glanced at Gao Jing's stiff face, which was stiff with complicated emotions, and gently comforted her, "When you get home, get some rest. Remember to talk to Fei Yan about the problems you've been facing lately, and then think carefully about what I said, okay, Xiao Jing?"

Despite still feeling conflicted and confused, Gao Jing didn't answer. Instead, she mechanically picked up her bag, got off the bus, and walked straight home.

Sitting in the car, Shen Xuan watched her younger sister's departing figure through the window.

The slightly thin figure that gradually disappeared into the darkness made her feel a pang of heartache.

After Gao Jing finally disappeared from sight, she sighed deeply and leaned weakly against the steering wheel, feeling unprecedentedly confused and helpless about how to handle this complicated situation.

Not long ago, the two had a deep and intense conversation.

Considering Gao Jing's usual personality traits, Shen Xuan wasn't really confident that he could get her to listen to his advice and accept change.

However, at least everything that needed to be said has been said.

Whether the other party is willing to truly listen to the opinions and make corresponding adjustments is beyond my personal capabilities.

After gently running her fingers through the long hair that fell beside her cheek to relieve the suppressed emotions in her heart, Shen Xuan glanced one last time at the old building in the distance as a final farewell, and then started the car and left.

We drove to the family's old house in the suburbs.

The moment she pushed open the door and stepped across the threshold, her eyes were immediately drawn to a man sitting on the living room sofa.

Upon seeing the familiar yet unexpected figure, Shen Xuan froze for a few seconds. Out of habit, she casually hung the key in her hand on the hook behind the door before slowly moving towards his location.

"Is the matter done?"

He gently flipped through the screen of his phone and asked a question, without ever raising his head, which seemed particularly out of place in the quiet environment.

In this unusually quiet space, only the faint sound of screen turning could be heard, while his cold and somewhat indifferent voice was like a sharp knife, piercing into the silence, particularly jarring.

“I thought you wouldn’t pester me to come back this time, Li Siyuan, but I was clearly wrong.”

Her tone carried a hint of surprise and disappointment, even though she knew in her heart that this person would never give up easily, "But you still came back after all."

Even without looking directly at his face, just watching from a distance, she could still feel a chilling aura emanating from him.

His gaze seemed frozen in ice, fixed unwaveringly on the electronic device in his hand; his indifference was suffocating.
