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

Li Siyuan, left in the living room, looked unusually gloomy. Watching Shen Xuan's thin figure disappear upstairs, a complex emotion was slowly brewing in his heart, including unspeakable anger and unconcealable sadness.

He felt excruciating pain whenever he thought about her possible past betrayals, and he wished he could peel her away bit by bit until he fully understood the truth.

After entering the room, Shen Xuan immediately threw herself onto the bed and curled up into a ball.

Despite feeling extremely depressed, she still sent a message to her good friend Cheng Lu: "I have arrived safely in Jiangcheng."

Hopefully, this will offer some comfort.

However, just as the message was sent, there were a few light knocks outside the door, causing her to instinctively stiffen in her already vulnerable state. She wondered if it was the person who had just angered her coming to her door again. Due to uncertainty and fear of further harm, she did not respond immediately.

Soon after, a servant's voice came from downstairs: "Miss, your porridge is ready. Would you like to come downstairs to eat, or have the servant bring it to your room?"

She put on her coat and walked out of the room; the dull ache in her stomach had subsided somewhat.

He slowly descended the stairs, each step taken with extreme care and caution.

Seeing that there was no one else waiting in the restaurant downstairs, Shen Xuan couldn't help but ask the servant standing beside him, "Has he already left?"

"They just left, Miss."

The servant answered respectfully, his voice revealing a sense of helplessness.

Upon hearing this news, she immediately felt much relieved.

As she sat down at the table to enjoy her breakfast, she secretly rejoiced that she no longer had to face that suffocating atmosphere. At least now she could eat her meal in peace without worrying about anything unpleasant happening.

After finishing her hot porridge, she planned to go back upstairs to continue resting.

Just then, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure at the doorway that made her heart skip a beat.

The man was carrying a heavy suitcase, clearly indicating that he planned to stay there for an extended period.

Upon realizing this, Shen Xuan stood frozen in place, as if she had been immobilized.

She knew perfectly well that the other person's purpose in doing this was to move to this place and live with her, but she had no thoughts or attitudes about this decision. She just glanced at the other person silently, then turned around and walked upstairs alone.

Witnessing the woman's indifferent and even repulsive reaction, a chill flashed in Li Siyuan's eyes.

The action of closing the door in front of him was forcibly interrupted, because at the last moment, a heavy suitcase got stuck between the door and the door, preventing it from closing.

Faced with this situation, Shen Xuan was furious. She glared at the figure outside the door and rebuked him in a cold voice, "You don't know there's an empty guest room next door? Can't you see the way? Or do you lack even the most basic literacy skills and can't find the right place? Do you have to trespass on my private territory to be satisfied?"

As he finished speaking, he unhesitatingly pushed the door, which had been half-open, open completely.

Completely unprepared for such an unexpected turn of events, Shen Xuan's hand slammed against the threshold, and a sharp pain followed, almost causing her to gasp for breath.

"Who gives you the right to call the shots here? Do you really think you're the owner of this place?"

Li Siyuan questioned the woman in front of him, who had once been his closest friend but had gradually drifted away, in an icy tone, while casually putting his hands into his pockets.

His angry and disappointed gaze seemed to pierce through all obstacles and reach the depths of people's hearts.

She then realized that she was only able to stay here because of his kindness, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "I really forgot that the Shen family has no status in this city, nor does anyone named Shen Xuan exist. I'm very sorry, I'm just too used to it, and for a moment I forgot that I'm just a temporary guest."

After saying these words, Shen Xuan's lips curled into a slightly enigmatic smile, as if she were mocking her own situation. Then she turned and left the room.

Upon hearing her words, Li Siyuan's face instantly turned deathly pale, and a hint of anger could be clearly seen burning in his eyes.

As she stepped out the door, a loud "bang" resounded, as if it had exploded directly in his chest, and the entire room shook.

The sound was like a muffled thunderclap that struck her head directly, making her feel as if her heart and body had shattered into countless pieces in that instant.

Shen Xuan stood at the bedroom door, staring blankly at the tightly closed door, her eyes filled with an unconcealable sense of loss, as if a vast ocean had swallowed the last glimmer of light.

He secretly hoped that she would ask for forgiveness or reconciliation, but his previous treatment of her made it impossible for him to say a single soft word to communicate or express his apology. Even though he really wanted to repair the relationship, he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

After returning to her guest room, Shen Xuan quickly locked the door from the inside, then quickly made the bed and lay down to rest.

However, the chaotic and conflicted emotions she felt made it impossible for her to fall asleep peacefully.

All night long, her mind was filled with all sorts of fragments and memories. Those vague yet clear memories made her feel exhausted, and she even began to doubt whether it was all reality or a hallucination in a dream.

The next morning, struggling to get out of bed despite feeling incredibly exhausted, Shen Xuan quickly finished her personal tasks and finally left her room.

Seeing her grandmother quietly enjoying the warm morning sun in the yard, being carefully cared for by the servants, her thoughts once again fell into deep confusion.

At this moment, as I gripped the handrail tightly and slowly descended the stairs, my eyes involuntarily drifted downwards.

The man who was standing quietly came into her sight, his gaze unwavering.

Recalling his attitude and coldness towards her the night before, her steps became somewhat stiff at that moment. She bit her lip and walked towards him, her heart filled with resentment and anger.

As soon as she got close to the other person, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol that almost suffocated her, forcing her to involuntarily hold her breath and barely suppress the nausea.

Li Siyuan sat there, his eyebrows slightly raised, but his eyes remained focused on the documents on his lap, as if he was completely unaware of her arrival.

She stood there, clenching her fists, staring blankly at him, her mouth tightly shut, as if she couldn't utter a single word.
