A few days later, Shen Xuan was seen again in another relatively secluded residence.

After the incident that night, before the first rays of dawn appeared, she had already booked the earliest flight of the day and quietly came to this place alone, seeking temporary peace, without anyone noticing.

At this moment, Shen Xuan, wearing a black trench coat, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of a high-floor room in the hotel, his gaze deep and his expression complex.

She still held a thick stack of documents in her hand.

Just then, a respectful assistant quietly approached her and asked, "Ms. Shen, do you have any plans to go home for dinner tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan pressed her tired and sore brow slightly, and asked in a calm yet somewhat indifferent tone, "Besides this matter, has my father said anything else to you?"

Upon hearing this, the assistant quickly explained, "Apart from that, there are no other special instructions. It's just that I heard the chairman was very happy and excited after you arrived, and asked me to ask if you would consider moving back to live with your family."

In fact, I have been here for three days and I am still hesitant about whether to visit my family.

It wasn't until her father learned the news that he contacted her through company connections. He not only sent her some work-related materials to process and review, but also suggested that she move back home to live with everyone.

"Let me think about it some more. You go back first and get back to him later."

The man left the room, closing the door behind him, leaving her alone to sit quietly in the same spot.

A moment later, her stomach began to churn, as if an irresistible force was raging inside her.

She felt that something was off about her lately, and she always had a vague sense of unease and depression in her heart.

This feeling of unease kept her tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep.

After leaving the hotel, she did not hesitate and immediately hailed a taxi, rushing to the nearest hospital.

On the way, she ignored all the scenery outside the car window; all she could think about was getting an answer as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, clutching a medical report tightly in her hand, her face as pale as a bloodless sheet of paper, she slowly walked out of the hospital.

The sunlight shone down blindingly, but her world seemed to darken in an instant.

Since her last chance encounter with Li Siyuan on the street, she has not received a single word from him.

Even when I tried to call the numbers myself, no one ever answered.

Unexpectedly, she has now found out she is pregnant. Is this a joyous occasion or a troublesome burden for her?

She slowly lowered her head and walked out of the hospital, standing there with a solemn expression, her mind filled with complex emotions.

Considering Li Siyuan's temperament and the awkward situation they had created due to their previous grudges and disputes with Lu Yuchen, even if he had taken the initiative to look for her, it was unlikely that he would be willing to give her a legitimate opportunity to explain anything.

At this moment, the test report, which had been clutched in his hand until it turned white and was even a little wrinkled, was gripped even tighter.

Her gaze involuntarily fell on her lower abdomen, and then a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Perhaps this is fate giving me a second chance to become a mother?

The experience of losing a precious opportunity two years ago because I failed to take good care of the baby in my womb is still vivid in my mind.

In any case, this time I absolutely cannot allow myself to make the same unforgivable mistake again.

Just then, my phone, which was in my bag, vibrated and made a notification sound.

Upon opening it, I discovered that the most frequent messages I've received lately have all come from the same person.

Without needing to look closely, Shen Xuan knew that the message must have come from Lu Yuchen, and she could roughly guess what the message contained.

So without even opening and checking the details, I directly added the other party's number to the blacklist and completely deleted all past contact records.

Since the last conflict, not only has Li Siyuan announced the cancellation of all cooperative relationships with the Lu family's companies, but the two families have also developed a deep-seated grudge as a result.

Given this confrontational situation, it is unlikely that either side can maintain the little remaining friendly atmosphere between them.

At that moment, her assistant drove up from a distance, stopped slowly after seeing her, and called out to her, "Ms. Shen."

Shen Xuan looked up when she heard the sound, then walked briskly to the car and got in.

The plan to quietly return to Jiangcheng was arranged for the afternoon of the following day.

The decision was made after receiving news from the nursing home that her grandmother's health had recently deteriorated. Out of concern for her grandmother, Shen Xuan chose to return to her hometown in a relatively secret manner to visit her.

Cheng Lu took a day off to help with the reception and promised not to let the outside world know about it.

After completing all the necessary procedures, the two arrived in Yancheng. To allow Shen Xuan to take care of Elder Lu with greater peace of mind, they temporarily rented a small house there as their temporary residence.

Shen Xuan had originally planned to move her grandmother abroad, but considering her grandmother's advanced age and inability to withstand long journeys, as well as her deep affection and attachment to her hometown, she changed her mind.

Shen Xuan hopes that when the time is right to return to Jiangcheng and settle down again, she can move back to their original home with her grandmother.

I used to be afraid that I wasn't capable enough to take good care of my grandmother's daily life. Now, all I want is to be by her side and give her warmth and support.

Just like in the past, Shen Xuan is still managing Cheng Lu's developing animation company business remotely from home via the internet.

I remember that Li Siyuan had generously invested 20 million yuan in this company before, which not only brought them a considerable return on investment, but also was enough to support Shen Xuan's daily living expenses. Overall, it was a pretty ideal situation.

When Li Siyuan returned from his travels and learned that Shen Xuan had gone back alone and was even planning to take his grandmother away from her original living environment, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

He was clearly unaware of the matter beforehand, which made him realize that perhaps some of his usual behaviors had caused the other party unspeakable harm and pressure.

At this very moment, in this quiet and cozy little house, Shen Xuan was sitting quietly by the window, working on her laptop while keeping the old lady who was basking in the sun company by chatting with her to pass the time.

On the small round table next to her was a small bottle of folic acid supplements. Shen Xuan gently picked up the bottle, poured out two pills, swallowed them, and then put the bottle back in its original place.
