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

"You want me to ask him myself?"

Shen Xuan frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "At least give me some direction, so I don't step on his landmines the moment I open my mouth."

Ye Fan pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Where did you go today, and what did you do?"

As he asked the questions, he kept looking her up and down, as if she were a suspect who had done something shameful.

Shen Xuan sensed the suspicion and scrutiny in his gaze, and couldn't help but purse her lips, wondering to herself: Did Li Siyuan think that she deliberately went to talk to Han Xin to cause trouble for her?

She lowered her eyelids, pondered for a moment, and then gently raised her hand to touch her forehead, as if trying to clear her mind.

Then, ignoring Ye Fan's gaze, she turned and walked towards the stairs.

Her footsteps made a soft sound on the stairs, and when she reached the second floor, she pushed open a bedroom door.

Li Siyuan was standing by the window, wearing a crisp white shirt. His figure was tall and slender, and he remained silent with his back to her, seemingly completely absorbed in his own thoughts.

He tilted his head slightly, gazing into the distance outside the window. His eyes held an unreadable emotion, but his stiff posture revealed that he was not as calm as he appeared.

"What do you mean? You're giving me attitude as soon as you get back?"

Her voice carried a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction, and her hands were naturally in her coat pockets, trying to make herself appear more composed.

However, her slightly shimmering eyes could not conceal her inner emotions; her gaze was fixed on his indifferent back, as if trying to find some answer in his figure.

"If you really feel sorry for your cousin, then go back and be with her. Anyway, you've never lacked love, and there are plenty of people around you who like you."

Li Siyuan's voice was deep and cold, with obvious irritation in his tone.

He subconsciously tugged at his tie, seemingly trying to relieve the inexplicable tightness rising in his chest.

From Shen Xuan's perspective, his back view, though as upright and aloof as ever, exuded a chilling sense of oppression, as if an invisible, heavy barrier had been erected in the air, separating the two of them.

"You know I'm not angry about this, so why do you keep bringing her up?"

Her voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of accusation.

Actually, she didn't really care who he mentioned, but she felt that his attitude was too perfunctory, and even had a hint of avoiding the important issues.

This made her feel even more wronged and made it difficult for her to control her emotions.

"So what made you angry?"

Instead of directly answering her question, Li Siyuan threw out another question.

His voice was calm and unhurried, but every word struck Shen Xuan's ears like a nail, carrying an undeniable sharpness.

She frowned, her mind racing as she thought about recent events.

Is it because I met with Kim Sook-young today that he's so unhappy?

But I was just meeting a friend, why did he get angry about it?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she suppressed it, because the more she thought about it, the more chaotic her thoughts became, and the inexplicable feeling of suffocation in her heart grew stronger.

Just then, Li Siyuan finally turned around slowly, his dark and deep gaze fixed on her face, not looking away.

The moment their eyes met, his brow furrowed suddenly, as if he had sensed something amiss.

After walking a few steps, he stopped in front of her, looking down at her. His handsome but indifferent face was devoid of any extra expression, leaving only an unfathomable silence.

After a moment, he spoke, his voice deep and powerful: "Are you still thinking about that man?"

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, she almost reflexively raised her voice, her displeasure evident on her face.

Her heart skipped a beat, and the image of a certain person involuntarily surfaced in her mind. That person had once occupied the most important part of her life, but had long since become a distant memory.

Regardless, his words touched a nerve.

He probably mistakenly thought that his date today had some other meaning.

Thinking about this, Shen Xuan became even more certain of his guess.

He must be jealous. He must have seen the scene of him meeting with Kim Sook-young, and then he imagined a series of unnecessary scenarios.

"I'm asking you, do you want to go back to the Lu family?"

His tone suddenly turned serious as he stared intently at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable, each word like a needle grazing her eardrum, subtly revealing his inquiry and vigilance.

Shen Xuan clenched his fists tightly, his fingers pressing so hard they almost stung his skin.

Only then did she realize that a single sentence could stir up a tidal wave of emotions within her in just a few seconds, creating utter chaos.

All the emotions, conflicts, and struggles hidden deep in her heart were unearthed by this simple question, leaving her nowhere to hide.

To calm her turbulent emotions, she took a deep breath, suppressed her surging feelings, and walked towards him step by step until she was close enough to feel each other's breath.

Then, she raised her head slightly, her gaze stubbornly fixed on his still cold and hard profile, and gritted her teeth as she said, "Do you want me to go back to the Lu family? Li Siyuan, what exactly do you want?"

"I heard you didn't have a good time today," his voice softened considerably, as if the tense atmosphere from before had temporarily dissipated. "Is it because you wanted to go back to the Lu family that you were unhappy?"

Shen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the suppressed emotions in her heart finally eased a little.

She slowly raised her wrist, gently yet firmly wrapping her arms around his neck. Her lips parted slightly, her voice low and soft, tinged with a hint of reproach: "You give me attitude just because I'm unhappy? Is my mood so insignificant to you?"

Li Siyuan wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. He leaned against her, his tone calm yet undeniably firm: "I've already submitted the documents to the hospital. Now we just have to wait for the paternity test results. As soon as the results are in, I'll take you back to the Li family."

He paused, his brow furrowing slightly, as if he had remembered something important, and then asked, "By the way, what did you say to Xin Xin today?"

"I told her to leave the Li family."

Shen Xuan's answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at him with a complicated gaze, her voice carrying a hint of probing, "Li Siyuan, are you reluctant to let her go? She's been growing up with you since she was little."
