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

Suppressing her complex emotions, she forced herself to ignore the man in front of her whom she both loved and hated, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and tried to make her voice sound calm and rational.

"I'm not familiar with this place and don't know how to get to the nearest hospital. Could you please give me directions?"

However, upon seeing the person standing opposite him, Lu Yucheng, who had been focused on observing her injuries, immediately realized something. He interrupted her and turned to look at the indifferent figure, saying calmly, "It seems he came here specifically to find you. You should go back with him to avoid trouble."

Shen Xuan took a deep breath, trying not to make her expression too stiff, and replied in an almost indifferent tone: "In any case, the most important thing is to get you to the hospital for treatment. Everything else is unimportant."

Having said that, she started the car without giving the other party any chance to refute, quickly driving away from the place she could hardly look at, leaving only the lonely man standing behind her with a complicated expression.

Li Siyuan remained silent, simply sitting quietly in the car without making any move.

At this moment, the assistant who had been accompanying him broke the silence, suggesting with a hint of unease, "Young Master, you didn't seem to be in good condition just now. You appeared to be seriously injured and needed emergency treatment... Should we go over and check on your condition?"

However, Li Siyuan showed no intention of responding to the suggestion. Instead, a prominent vein appeared on his face, a sign that he could not suppress his anger.

In fact, before finding Shen Xuan, he had secretly sent people to monitor the area for several days, but he never expected to encounter such a situation as soon as he arrived.

Before I could even say a word, I lost the chance to contact them again.

Shen Xuan then continued driving, taking the injured Lu Yuchen to the hospital for treatment.

After the doctor treated all the wounds and determined that there was no immediate danger to their lives, the Lu family immediately sent a car to pick them up and take them home safely.

Sitting in the car on the way back, Shen Xuan thought of the figure who might still be lingering in this area, and couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

The thought that there was absolutely no way to contact the other party directly made her feel even more helpless and frustrated, and in the end she could only follow the arrangements to return to her residence.

The old butler beside them occasionally glanced at the two of them, his face showing an expression that seemed to want to say something but then stopped himself.

The old steward's eyes revealed a hint of worry and confusion. He hadn't expected that his young master would personally go to the second madam's courtyard to cause trouble for this woman, making such a fuss.

The old man almost found out about this. If it hadn't been dealt with in time, he might have gotten really angry and developed health problems.

Once the Lu family loses its leader, the entire family will likely fall into chaos.

Lu Yuchen raised his head, leaned back lazily in his chair, and asked in a slightly somber tone, "Xiao Xuan, he's already come to pick you up. Do you want to go with him?"

There was a hint of suppressed emotion in his voice.

She didn't respond, but simply lowered her head further, her expression becoming even more gloomy.

Her heart was filled with contradictions and confusion: Li Siyuan had acquired the Shen Group and hadn't even left her a place to stay. Under such circumstances, what was the point of returning to Jiangcheng?

But if we don't go to Jiangcheng, are there any other places we can go besides here?

"Young Master, where are you taking Young Madam?"

At this moment, the old butler next to him couldn't help but interject, his tone full of concern and urgency.

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of the two people in the room, who both turned to look at the old butler, as if something had suddenly touched a sensitive spot.

Seeing this, Lu Yuchen quickly explained, "Uncle Hu, please don't talk nonsense. We haven't decided on anything yet."

His words contained both reassurance and warning, as he feared that Uncle Hu's continued talk would cause a greater misunderstanding or trouble.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze quietly returned to Shen Xuan's face, his expression complex and unfathomable, as if he had a thousand words to say but could not express them.

At this moment, Shen Xuan was sitting in the seat next to her with her lips pursed. She subconsciously used her fingers to gently touch her hair, trying to cover part of her cheeks and hide her embarrassment and unease.

Her feelings were very complicated, and she couldn't find the right words to answer the question for a moment.

Seeing this scene, the old butler couldn't help but sigh, saying with a touch of emotion, "Alas, young master, I can see very clearly that you like this young lady. After all, nothing in this world can escape the eyes of an old man. Although neither of you has made a final decision yet, with such mutual affection, you'll inevitably reach that stage sooner or later, won't you?"

His words carried a sense of hope for the future, while also revealing a degree of concern about the ultimate fate of their relationship.

She thought about it and felt that going to the Lu family now might not be a good choice, since the situation was somewhat delicate. So she tried to change the subject and said, "How about we stop the car and I get out for a walk? It would be nice to take a stroll."

"Xiao Xuan, about our relationship..."

He paused for a moment, as if searching for the most appropriate words, before finally changing his tone, "Why do we feel so distant from each other? Like strangers to each other."

When haven't we been like this?

She smiled gently and asked in a calm tone.

This question contains so much helplessness and indifference.

Only then did Lu Yuchen suddenly realize that the two of them had always maintained a strange balance, a state of being neither too close nor too distant.

Apart from those two years, various events that occurred afterward caused their feelings to gradually fade, until the distance between them became increasingly strong.

In order not to burden her, he tried his best not to interfere with her decisions, but the result was the opposite. Instead of bringing the two of them closer, it made the rift between Shen Xuan and himself grow wider and wider, and even slowly pushed her into the arms of another person.

"Stop the car."

Realizing that the conversation was fruitless, Shen Xuan once again expressed her desire to get off the bus.

Not long after, as the car door was opened, she stepped out of the Lu family's luxury car and turned to get into another car without hesitation.

About half an hour later, a black sedan stopped in front of a high-end hotel, and a familiar figure got out of the car.

It was Shen Xuan, who had just left Lu Yuchen not long ago.

Standing outside a room, Shen Xuan gently pressed her temples with her right hand to relieve the headache caused by prolonged thinking.

A few seconds later, she took a deep breath and slowly reached out to knock on the tightly closed door in front of her.

The door was quickly opened by a neatly dressed man. When Jiang Yu saw that the person outside was Shen Xuan, an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes.
