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

She stood by the car window and gently tapped the glass twice. Although the movement wasn't forceful, it was enough to attract the attention of the people inside the car.

Immediately afterwards, she lowered her gaze slightly, looking inside with a hint of wariness and probing.

At this moment, the man in the driver's seat turned his head slightly, and his gaze locked onto Shen Xuan the instant it met hers, as if he were examining some kind of object with a calm and critical eye.

However, within this indifference, a fleeting, barely concealed look of surprise flashed across his eyes. This expression appeared and disappeared in an instant, like a ripple on a lake that quickly subsided.

But it was this instantaneous change that made Shen Xuan keenly realize that things might not be as simple as they seemed.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Xuan's tone was cold and hard. She hugged her arms tightly to her chest, forming an invisible defensive line, as if resisting the other person's presence.

"So all that fuss upstairs, all that useless stuff, all that chaos, was just to wait here and stop me?"

As she spoke, the scene upstairs flashed through her mind: the hurried people, the deliberately arranged scenes, and the series of farces in which she was forced to participate.

But upon closer reflection, a sense of unease and doubt welled up in my heart.

"No..." she murmured, as if struck by a sudden realization, "Could it be that those people upstairs weren't his men at all? If so, what kind of setup is this? And what is his purpose?"

Just as she was in turmoil, the man did not answer her question directly. Instead, he calmly picked up his phone and handed it to her with a faint smile on his face, making it impossible to discern his true intentions.

"Call Li Siyuan and let him know you're safe, so he won't worry at home."

His voice was calm and steady, as if he were only offering well-intentioned advice, "Then I will personally take you back."

Hearing this, Shen Xuan became even more furious.

She suddenly reached out and snatched her phone back from the other person's hand without any hesitation, with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to crush it.

Then, she raised her face and looked directly into the man's eyes, the chill in them enough to pierce through the dead of winter.

"Give me back my driver first! Why didn't he show up? Is it something you have to do with him? Are you planning to play some kind of 'kidnapping game' or something?"

Her questioning voice was forceful, each word like a dagger thrown at the other person.

Faced with her angry accusations, Lu Shuli showed no sign of panic or backing down.

Instead, he casually stretched out his arm and rested it on the edge of the open car window, his nonchalant gesture revealing an indifferent attitude.

He leaned back slightly in his seat, and the nonchalant aura he exuded was enough to make anyone's blood pressure explode.

He didn't even lift his eyelids, only glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Shen Xuan knew this guy's character perfectly well. He would never offer an explanation for anything, and even if you pushed him too far, you'd probably only get a nonchalant sarcastic remark in return.

So she suppressed her turbulent emotions, gritted her teeth, glared at him for a moment, and then took a deep breath.

In the end, she turned and walked to the car door, pulling the handle while silently thinking, "You win!"

Then, without hesitation, he sat in the passenger seat.

The interior space of the car was smaller than expected, and the strong smell of leather mixed with the lingering sense of tranquility in the air gave people a feeling of being oppressed.

At this moment, Lu Shuli, sitting in the driver's seat, looked meaningfully at Shen Xuan behind her through the rearview mirror, a subtle smile appearing on her lips.

Shen Xuan, who had just sat down, ignored these details and quickly took out her phone to skillfully dial a familiar number. It was Li Siyuan's number.

The call notification rang for a few seconds, and the other end answered quickly.

Shen Xuan cleared the knot in her chest and tried to keep her tone natural and calm, striving to sound completely unperturbed.

"Sorry, Si Yuan, I was feeling a bit down today, so I went to the mall for a while to cheer myself up. Don't worry, I'll be home soon."

Despite her thorough preparations, she was unaware that Li Siyuan was currently speeding across the intercity highways towards this neighboring city.

As for Lu Shuli beside him, he had already foreseen the outcome. He was merely a tool to advance the plot and help them reach their true destination.

Shortly after hanging up the phone, a barely audible voice from the driver's seat broke the silence between the two.

Are you pregnant?

Lu Shuli asked, her voice carrying an indescribable emotion, a mixture of teasing and doubt.

Upon hearing this question, Shen Xuanjing couldn't help but be taken aback, and the composure between her brows instantly crumbled.

She subconsciously reached out and rubbed her aching temples, trying to calm her complicated emotions, her expression gradually turning serious.

"There's no one else here now. So, just tell me the truth! Why did you have someone bring me from Jiangcheng? What are you trying to do?"

"Ha, which eye of yours saw that I had someone pick you up? Do you have any proof? Don't make wild guesses here."

Because of the angle inside the car, she could only see his sharp eyes through the rearview mirror.

At this moment, those eyes were staring ahead with a gloomy look, seemingly revealing an unfathomable calmness.

Although his tone remained as calm as still water, this calmness sent a chill down her spine.

Shen Xuan immediately dismissed the thought that had been on her mind.

No wonder this man always does things in a straightforward and decisive manner.

His style has always been straightforward and decisive, without beating around the bush.

From this perspective, this matter may indeed have nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, her thoughts gradually calmed down, but she couldn't help but look at his back.

She really couldn't understand why Lu Shuli, at such a young age, could have such a calm and composed personality.

Although he looks very young, every time she interacts with him, she is surprised by his maturity, which far exceeds what one would expect for someone his age.

Is this an innate trait, or something shaped by life experiences?

What puzzled her even more was what this man had gone through in the past twenty years.

Those experiences that are unimaginable to ordinary people are what gave him such extraordinary maturity and composure.

"Whether this was your arrangement or not, even if it wasn't your people who brought me here, what difference does it make? In the end, these people were all sent by your Lu family, weren't they? No matter who the mastermind is, the essence is the same."

He chuckled softly upon hearing this, his face showing a hint of indifference and mockery.
