She stood there stiffly, at a loss for what to do. Looking at the other person's tense face and eyes that clearly showed dissatisfaction, she couldn't help but feel nervous. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

She knew in her heart that what she had just said was very likely to have angered the man in front of her, and might even be interpreted as her being clever or a pointless argument.

"Si Yuan, I am truly sorry about what happened this afternoon. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you and left without permission, leaving you all alone."

After much deliberation, she took a deep breath and mustered her courage to speak, attempting to ease the tense atmosphere between them.

Are you still angry? If I did make a mistake, I'm willing to apologize. Please forgive my impulsiveness, okay?

Deep down, I was filled with anxiety and unease, but if I showed sincerity and admitted my mistakes, there might still be a chance to make amends.

"Shen Xuan, do you think everything will be fine just because Lu Yuchen left Jiangcheng? Don't dream. This place is full of evidence waiting to be discovered and used. What makes you think you can offend and challenge my authority at will?"

Upon hearing these words, one could almost feel the growing oppressive atmosphere and hostility permeating the air.

"You should understand one thing: I can give you all my love and care, and I can also take back all that emotional investment. It's true that I was the one who once cherished and protected you like royalty. But what if one day I don't want to continue doing this anymore? Then you'll find out how terrible your situation is."

At this point, his voice grew lower and more dangerous, as if every word he spoke was an invisible pressure exerted on the other person, attempting to destroy the last glimmer of hope.

"Want to know what it feels like to fall from the clouds to the dust? A single thought can turn you from a superior being into someone nobody cares about. Aren't you afraid?"

Upon hearing these threatening words, Shen Xuan felt as if her heart had been gripped tightly, causing her unbearable pain. Even her palms, which had been gripping her clothes tightly, became pale and weak from being soaked in sweat.

It seems he is truly enraged, and I have successfully ignited the most terrifying source of power hidden deep within him. If this situation gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable.

She paused for a few seconds, seemingly hesitating about what to do next.

Then, her steps became slow and heavy, and she finally reached him.

Her eyes were fixed on him, and then she gently placed her hands on his shoulders.

"Si Yuan, my behavior this afternoon was indeed wrong. I shouldn't have left you alone because of a moment of impulse. I know I did something wrong, I really know I was wrong, isn't that enough?"

Li Siyuan suddenly stood up from the sofa, raised one hand quickly, and grabbed her neck without any hesitation.

"Shen Xuan, in your heart, what kind of role do you really see me in? You'd better explain it clearly right now, or don't expect any leniency."

Faced with the sudden threat, Shen Xuan's face immediately turned red, and she instinctively began to pound on his arm, hoping that he would loosen his grip on her neck, but it was clear that the other party had no intention of stopping.

The anger eventually subsided, and Li Siyuan's hand slowly relaxed, releasing his grip on her throat.

Shen Xuan almost immediately collapsed onto the sofa next to her, while frantically pressing her chest with her other hand and coughing incessantly.

"Si Yuan..."

Despite her voice sounding unusually weak, she still tried to reach out and grab his arm, attempting to explain something.

Li Siyuan abruptly pulled his arm back, his face turning icy cold, his deep voice filled with resentment and disgust.

"Please don't touch me with hands that have touched other men before. This behavior disgusts and repulses me."

"Si Yuan, please give me a chance, please listen to me say something."

She spoke again, gently touching the spot where she had been pinched. The obvious mark was clearly visible under the indoor light, appearing particularly conspicuous and even somewhat terrifying.

"You're still trying to find excuses to defend yourself at this point, but unfortunately, I've completely lost interest in all of this."

Li Siyuan said coldly, "I thought there was still some affection between us as husband and wife, but I never expected the reality to be so chilling. Since this is your choice, then fine, from today onwards, there will no longer be a family with the surname Shen in this world, and Shen Xuan will no longer exist."

"Our relationship is now completely over. Whatever the future holds, I will never bother you again. You'd better pack your bags and leave this place, never to come back to see me again."

After saying this, Li Siyuan first straightened the buttons on his shirt cuffs, then grabbed Shen Xuan's wrist and dragged her toward the door.

Upon reaching the doorway, it was ruthlessly pushed forcefully out onto the open grass.

"Now that the Shen family no longer exists, this place naturally no longer belongs to you. You have absolutely no right to stay here any longer."

The other person's cold words were like a chilling wind, chilling her to the bone.

"Li Siyuan!"

Upon hearing those words, she hurriedly stood up from her chair and called out loudly to the departing figure, her voice full of pleading.

"Could you listen to me for a moment? Even just one sentence would be helpful."

A hint of despair flashed in her eyes, and she clenched her hands tightly together, hoping to evoke even the slightest chance for him to change his mind.

Li Siyuan paused slightly at this moment, as if he was thinking about something.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and walked towards the car parked to the side. Without giving her any more time or space to speak, he started the engine and drove away, leaving her standing alone in the spot.

At this moment, under the cover of night, at the gate of the Shen residence, only this lonely figure appeared particularly desolate and helpless.

He knew that once his emotions were fully ignited, it would be difficult to quell that anger.

Especially today, her behavior infuriated him and made him unable to calm down.

After he got into the driver's seat, he glanced back in the rearview mirror and saw the girl who had been standing outside the door gradually getting smaller and smaller until she disappeared completely before he looked away and continued driving.

At this moment, a light rain began to fall from the sky, and in no time, the gentle yet cold raindrops had soaked her clothes completely.
