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

Her tone carried an undeniable authority and displeasure: "Is this any of your business?"

This short sentence acted as a defensive line, keeping all his questions out.

Lu Shuli did not show much emotion after hearing this.

He merely frowned, his gaze calm yet sharp as he stared at the other person, before slowly speaking: "Fine, since you put it that way, then don't regret it."

Although these words were not particularly harsh, they contained a hidden threat.

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't look at Jin Shuying again, but turned around and walked away without hesitation.

That slender figure appeared even more indifferent and distant in the empty corridor.

Jin Shuying's gaze followed his retreating figure until it completely disappeared from sight, at which point her chest was instantly filled with a surge of anger.

She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and trembled slightly, clearly filled with anger and unease about what had just happened.

……

Meanwhile, in Li Siyuan's spacious and bright office, soft sunlight streamed into the room through the blinds.

Shen Xuan was sitting upright on a luxurious leather sofa, leaning slightly forward, her buttocks almost touching the edge of the sofa.

Her eyes were fixed on the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze so focused that it was as if the whole world had ceased to exist.

Li Siyuan stood against the light, his tall figure reflected in the huge glass window, like a black and white silhouette painting.

He held his phone to his ear with his right hand, talking to his assistant Jiang Yu, who was in Europe handling business.

He speaks slowly and clearly, each word carrying his unique cool and aloof demeanor.

Shen Xuan sat there quietly, her chin resting lightly on the sofa armrest, her eyes fixed on his straight and resolute back, her expression complex beyond words.

It seems like a lingering affection, yet also like a tangled dilemma.

In the midst of this tranquil scene, the sudden ringing of a cell phone shattered the silence.

That was Shen Xuan's personal cell phone, which he had left aside.

The moment she heard the sound, she snapped back to reality and quickly looked up at the screen.

Before the second ring could sound, she swiftly reached out and turned off the ringer, afraid that even the slightest noise would disturb the important conversation the man in front of her was having.

After sensing the movement, Li Siyuan, who was by the window, glanced down at his watch and then quickly glanced at Shen Xuan sitting on the sofa out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing her hurriedly hang up the phone, he raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not stop his conversation, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor as he continued to explain things.

When the conversation with Jiang Yu finally ended and the words still lingered on her lips, Shen Xuan on the other side also managed to calm down after a brief moment of tension.

It turned out she was replying to a message from the caller.

At that moment, she slid her long fingers across the phone screen for a moment before turning her attention back to the person beside her.

Just then, Li Siyuan hung up the phone and turned to walk towards her.

He looked down at Shen Xuan and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

His voice was warm yet authoritative, making people dare not be perfunctory.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan tilted her head slightly to meet his gaze, but quickly looked away again.

She tried to sound as calm as possible: "It's nothing. Shi Chengyue just called, and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I hung up."

Although he spoke flawlessly, the unusual look on his face still revealed a hint of unease and guilt.

She lowered her eyelids to avoid eye contact with him, her fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of her phone screen, as if this could ease the emotions surging within her.

Li Siyuan frowned slightly, his brows appearing as if they were being gently pulled tight with a fine thread, as he intently scrutinized her.

His gaze fell on her face, carrying a hint of inquiry and scrutiny, yet also a subtle trace of worry.

I asked tentatively, "What happened?"

"My dad... wants to come back."

She lowered her head, her voice as soft as a whisper, as if afraid to disturb the dust in the air; every word carried hesitation and complex emotions.

Li Siyuan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his posture relaxed yet exuding an aura of authority.

His gaze was fixed on her face, as if trying to see through the secret hidden in her heart, and he asked in a flat tone, "Is that all?"

She glanced up at him slightly, a flicker of emotion crossing her eyes, before asking in return, "What else could it be?"

"So, are you planning to let your dad move into the Shen family's house, or give them the villa in the southern suburbs? Or, why don't you come back to the Li family's house with me and let them have the Shen family's house?"

"Me, go to the Li family? Aren't you afraid I'll fight with your mother? And your troublesome cousin, aren't you afraid I'll turn the Li family upside down?"

Her tone carried a hint of self-deprecation and sarcasm, as if she had already foreseen how chaotic that scene would be.

“Then let’s go to the villa in the southern suburbs. I’ll make a call to arrange it, move our things over, and leave the Shen family’s place to them. We can also bring Grandma over.”

Li Siyuan's voice remained calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if all of this were just trivial matters.

Shen Xuan stared blankly at his indifferent face, her eyes unblinking, but she didn't say a word.

A silent pressure filled the air, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

After not hearing her response for a while, Li Siyuan looked up at her.

Her face looked pale, and she was still clutching her phone in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

She abruptly looked away, a dark undercurrent flashing in her eyes, and coldly retorted, "Li Siyuan, did you never intend for me to go back to live with the Li family?"

Li Siyuan looked at her with a puzzled expression, his eyebrows slightly raised, seemingly surprised by the question.

He paused for a moment, then replied, "Wasn't I just asking for your opinion?"

Shen Xuan frowned, her tone displeased, and questioned, "Why isn't it Han Xin and your mother moving out of the Li family, but I have to live in the villa in the southern suburbs?"

"They've both gotten used to living in the Li family home. If you ask my mother to move out now, she'll have to readjust to a new environment. I'm afraid this isn't a good way to handle the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship, is it?"

His tone remained calm, yet it carried an undeniable air that left no room for argument.

"Then let Han Xin go to live in the villa in the south suburbs. Anyway, I am determined to live in the Li family's house."

She raised her head, her gaze hardened and stubborn, and said, word by word, "You'd better understand the situation. Han Xin is just an outsider, while I am the rightful mistress of the Li family. If someone has to move out, that person will definitely not be me."

Her tone was as if she were stating something obvious, yet it subtly conveyed an unquestionable authority.

"What are you fussing about again?"

Li Siyuan suddenly felt a surge of irritation.

His brows furrowed, and his voice unconsciously rose slightly.
