In early winter, the temperature difference between day and night is quite large.

She wrapped her coat tighter around her neck, still wearing the beige scarf that Lu Yucheng had given her. She often wore it ever since.

He stood on the side of the street looking around, then looked down at his watch.

In order to avoid people discovering that she had any connection with Li Siyuan, she deliberately chose to meet him elsewhere.

Suddenly, a dark-colored sedan screeched to a halt in front of her.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing the cold, handsome profile of the man inside.

Shen Xuan could feel the chill emanating from him with just a glance.

She paused for a moment, until a sound from inside the car broke the silence.

"Shall I help you into the car?"

Shen Xuan glanced back coldly, then opened the door and sat down.

She really didn't want to say another word to someone like Li Siyuan.

The atmosphere inside the car was heavy. Shen Xuan leaned against the side blankly, while Li Siyuan's gaze fell on her slightly displeased face, making him even more unhappy.

He was particularly struck by the light-colored scarf around her neck, which suddenly made him lose control.

The scene from the hotel last time flashed into his mind in an instant.

An anger slowly rose in his heart, and he reached out and unceremoniously ripped off the scarf around her neck.

"What do you want to do?" Shen Xuan reached out to try and take back the scarf.

In the blink of an eye, he had rolled down the car window and casually tossed the scarf out of the car.

"Li Siyuan, are you out of your mind? Why did you throw my things away?"

The man, looking completely indifferent, raised an eyebrow and replied casually, "I don't like seeing it."

Shen Xuan was so angry she was in a state of utter confusion. Suppressing her rage, she said, "You're the one with a problem in your head, Li Siyuan. Since you're the one with a problem, I won't hold it against you. Let me out of the car."

Just because you don't like something, does that mean you can dispose of other people's things at will?

That's incredibly tyrannical.

Seeing that he showed no intention of stopping so she could retrieve her belongings, she became extremely annoyed.

Shen Xuan raised her wrist, attempting to open the car door and jump out.

The man acted swiftly, grabbing her arm and gently pulling her into his embrace.

"How far have things progressed between you and Lu Yucheng? You're carrying his things with you all the time." Her tone was full of suppressed anger.

"What's it to you?" She tried to pull her wrist away forcefully.

Only then did she understand his unspoken meaning.

How did he know that Lu Yuchen gave it to her?

"Li Siyuan, you actually followed me?"

"I don't have that kind of time to waste!"

He casually let go of her hand, as if shaking off something insignificant. Shen Xuan lost her balance and the back of her head slammed heavily against the car window next to the back seat.

A wave of dizziness immediately washed over me.

The driver in the front seat instinctively stepped on the brakes, and the car slowed down noticeably.

"Drive!" Li Siyuan uttered coldly, his eyes icy. The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror, then shut up and focused on driving.

Shen Xuan supported the back of her head with her hand, feeling a wave of dizziness.

Facing his icy gaze, I felt as if an invisible force was gripping my heart, and my blood was ignited.

At her wrist, a strong hand gripped her tightly, and with a gentle pull, she fell into his arms.

Immediately afterwards, their lips accidentally touched, and Shen Xuan's eyes widened instantly.

After an unknown amount of time, the vehicle slowly came to a stop in front of the Li Family Manor.

After his lips pressed tightly against hers for a while, she finally found a chance to catch her breath and quickly opened the other car door and jumped out.

The person behind her followed calmly, and in an instant, she was abruptly pulled into the living room.

Shen Xuan slumped onto the sofa, her abdomen aching from the impact.

With her hand supporting her stomach, she turned to look at his cold face, her anger intensifying.

When did their relationship become like this?

"Li Siyuan, there's no deep-seated hatred between us. Even if I married you impulsively back then, I've already chosen to step aside, and you've already signed the papers. Why are you treating me like this?"

“Shut up!” he snapped coldly.

Then, he slowly squatted down, suddenly lifted her chin with his large hand, and gently stroked it.

"I regret it."

Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and when she met his burning gaze, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Did he regret the divorce?

Then he picked her up.

Her slender frame made it effortless for him to carry her.

She was stunned for a moment.

Shen Xuan only came to her senses when he gently placed her on the bed.

"Li Siyuan, what exactly do you want to do?"

Noticing the strange look in his eyes, she moved away alertly, her face turning pale instantly.

The next moment, she was pushed onto the bed.

The man was pressed tightly against her.

The idea that couldn't be realized three years ago seems to have fully erupted at this moment.

She stared in disbelief, dumbfounded.

He has always had excellent self-control, so how could he have lost control like this?

He roughly tore the gray and white striped shirt, revealing smooth shoulders.

An discomfort spread from her neck to her collarbone, making her feel uneasy all over.

During their three-year marriage, she never gave up her body, and now that they are divorced, she has no desire to have anything to do with him.

"Li Siyuan!" she called softly, trying to bring him back to his senses.

"Li Siyuan, this is completely over. If you continue like this, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

"What did you say?" He frowned.

I could never forgive him in this lifetime?

Wasn't this the outcome she wanted when she married him?

Shen Xuan bit her lower lip, her eyes resolute: "Let me go, Li Siyuan. If I don't get back tonight, you'll be on tomorrow's headlines."

Considering Shen Xuan's private account, his forehead furrowed even deeper.

He could easily find a tech expert to crack the password for that account and then cancel it.

What's so great about that?

Then, he got off her, his face ashen, and quickly pulled the blanket over her, burying her under it.

With a loud slam of the door, it seemed as if she was being completely isolated from this place.

She peeked outside, but the room was empty; he was gone.

Looking down, he realized that two buttons on his shirt had been ripped off, making it impossible for him to go out like that.

She then searched her wardrobe but couldn't find a single piece of clothing to cover herself.

Since she left last time, she took all her clothes with her, so the wardrobe is now empty.

She looked slightly disappointed as she sat there, straightening her clothes and zipping her coat all the way down.

It wasn't until she reached the door that she realized he had locked her bedroom door from the outside.

Is he trying to trap her here?

Shen Xuan pounded on the door and shouted, "Li Siyuan, open the door right now! What right do you have to detain me!"

She tried to ask for help using her phone, but found that her phone was also missing.

Now she was truly anxious.

I walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and peered down; it was pitch black outside.

The few streetlights barely illuminated the villa area, leaving the surroundings shrouded in darkness, making the place appear exceptionally desolate.
