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

She paused, her tone growing increasingly sharp: "Let me make this clear. I don't care how wronged or special Han Xin is, if you treat me badly or act rudely because of her, I absolutely will not allow it. If you really care about her that much, you can simply give her your position. I, Shen Xuan, will not pester you, nor will I lower myself. But, you want me to treat her like a younger sister? Sorry, I can't do that. It's absolutely impossible."

“Xin Xin’s personality is actually not easy to understand,” Li Siyuan turned his head, staring intently at her profile, as if trying to see the turmoil hidden beneath her calm surface.

“Shen Xuan, I know you two may have had disagreements, but the way you spoke to her today, the way you targeted her…”

Do you think this is fair to her?

"What did I do to her?"

Shen Xuan's expression suddenly turned serious, and the fingers that were holding the toothpick tightened slightly, piercing the fruit with a little more force.

A surge of anger gradually welled up in her heart, making her stiffen slightly.

She put down the plate in her hand, and slowly but irresistibly stood up, her body almost straight as a cold, straight line.

She took a step, her steps light but carrying an undeniable sense of pressure as she approached him, until the distance between them was less than a step.

Faced with his questioning, her eyes were as cold as frost, a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips, and her words were as piercing as a blade in the dead of winter.

"Stop trying to change the subject! Don't offer these insincere words of concern. Everyone knows you've already sided with her. Right now, let alone the fact that we're legally married, even if we were, I can't continue to endure any unnecessary sacrifices. For me, the past is a lesson learned. I've already lost a child; that memory is etched deep enough. Do you think I'm still the same little woman who can be manipulated at will?"

At this point, her tone suddenly became indifferent yet firm, "To be honest, I'm not afraid of giving up my current situation at all. Being single or raising a child alone doesn't matter. Because I've already prepared myself to live alone for the rest of my life, and it doesn't matter whether I have someone to rely on or not."

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan's face suddenly darkened.

The atmosphere in the air seemed to freeze instantly, and even the sound of time flowing seemed to pause.

He stared at her blankly, a wave of unease and regret washing over him.

Clearly, she was serious.

His repeated neglect and estrangement towards her during those days have finally led to the situation we see today.

She wasn't just angry; she decided to tear down the facade and confront him directly in the final battle.

After a long while, he tried to suppress the burning anxiety and resentment in his chest and forced himself to regain his composure.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he finally spoke, "Fine, I promise you, I won't bring these things up again, nor will I force you to change your mind. However, Shen Xuan..."

He stared into her eyes, his tone gentle yet carrying a warning, "Regarding our child, I expect you to see it through to the end. I don't care how many options or escape routes you have, but as long as this involves the child, you can't make any risky decisions on your own. If you dare to be irresponsible towards the child in your womb, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"What is this? A transaction?"

She gently cupped his face in her hands, pouted slightly, and asked in a slightly reproachful tone.

Her fingertips seemed to still have a slight chill, and her eyes held both questioning and a hint of stubbornness, like a child throwing a tantrum.

He lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding her bright yet piercing gaze, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips.

However, the smile didn't linger for long before it vanished from his cold, stern face.

“I’ve already bowed my head,” his voice was low and calm, like a long-suppressed sigh, “and I’m on your side. I can let you go to the Li family and cause trouble for Xin Xin, make some noise. But don’t go too far!”

"I've gone too far, what can you do about it? Huh?"

Shen Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking determined not to back down.

She deliberately drew out her voice, raising the final syllable of her words to convey a provocative tone.

Shen Xuan still pouted, her clear yet sharp eyes, like those of a lake, fixed on him.

She gently tapped his tense cheek with her finger, attempting to pry into the hidden emotions deep within his heart with an extremely mischievous gesture.

Then, she forced herself into a stiff smile, her tone filled with displeasure and resentment.

"Oh dear, I can tell from your expression that you're definitely unhappy, right? Li Siyuan, I have to remind you, this forced attitude really annoys me. If you really push me too far and I get into a terrible mood, it won't be good for the baby in your belly. What if you upset the baby or something really happens? Will you take responsibility then?"

“Shen Xuan, you…”

His brows furrowed suddenly, as if he had been struck in the chest unexpectedly.

The intense impact left him breathless for a moment, but he couldn't refute her words. He could only clench his fists to suppress his anger and try to control his emotions.

A few seconds later, he managed to utter half a sentence, and in the end, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it silently.

Finally, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, the movement not rough, but with undeniable strength.

His gaze turned cold and serious, and he almost gritted his teeth as he questioned, "When did you become so sharp-tongued? How come I never noticed you had such a good tongue before? It's completely unexpected."

"So what if we've found out now? Do you think it's too late?"

She gave a light hum, her tone relaxed and leisurely, as if all those sharp words were just an impromptu performance.

As soon as she finished speaking, she deftly shook off his hand and strode away.

Her slender high heels clicked rhythmically on the wooden floor, her posture elegant, casual yet dignified, as she walked towards the restaurant.

He stood there stunned for a moment, a complex expression flashing across his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared, as if he was helpless about her behavior, but also mixed with a little appreciation.

Immediately, he composed himself, turned around and followed her, his steps firm and composed, his target also set on the warmly lit restaurant.

At this moment, a light rain was falling outside the window, and the gray sky was as if it had been dyed with ink, filled with gloomy and heavy dark clouds.

The earth was unusually quiet, with only the pattering rain tapping on the windowpane, adding a heavy atmosphere to the empty world and creating an indescribable sense of oppression and gloom.
