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

Her phone sat quietly on the bedside table.

Besides the coat and pajamas she was wearing, she couldn't find any other suitable clothes.

She got out of bed, draped her coat over her shoulders, and tried to use his pajamas as a dress, which made do.

Downstairs in the living room, he casually crossed his legs and flipped through a book that looked like a magazine.

Shen Xuan glared at the impeccably dressed man's back, the word "hypocritical" popping into her mind.

Her steps were a little weak, and she slowly descended the stairs, holding onto the handrail.

Hearing the noise, he quickly turned his head to look.

The book in his hand was immediately thrown aside.

"Awake?" He looked up, gazing at her slightly pale face.

Shen Xuan's resentful gaze met his face, then she quickly looked away, turning her head to ask, "Li Siyuan, when do you plan to set me free?"

The man didn't answer her question, but easily stood up from the sofa and went into the kitchen to continue what he was doing.

Only then did Shen Xuan notice the aroma wafting from the kitchen and was surprised to find that the books on the coffee table were actually cooking guides.

In her memory, he never set foot in the kitchen and loathed greasy things. How could he suddenly change his mind and start learning to cook?

She couldn't help but turn her gaze to him, only to see him frantically trying to distinguish between salt and sugar, and a sense of disappointment welled up in her heart.

"Let me do it!"

She tied her hair up, tucked the stray hairs behind her ears, and walked towards him, ready to take over the cooking duties.

Li Siyuan glanced down at her and saw that her face was pale, but she was skillfully chopping scallions. Something seemed to quietly slip through his mind.

Shen Xuan seemed to sense that burning gaze. Recalling last night, for some reason, she felt an urge to stay.

However, everything from the past quickly dispelled that feeling.

When she lifted the lid of the clay pot, she was surprised to find that he was focused on making pork rib porridge for her, and he did it quite well.

She sprinkled chopped green onions and cilantro on top for flavor, then turned off the stove.

Next, a bowl of fragrant porridge was served on the table.

"You haven't eaten anything since yesterday, so I can only make you some porridge first to avoid upsetting your stomach."

He spoke softly and handed over a bowl of porridge.

"Thank you." Shen Xuan calmly accepted it and savored it slowly.

In the past, she might have been moved to tears, but now, joy is hard to find.

Looking up, she found him with his arms crossed, gazing intently at her, a barely perceptible tenderness hidden in his eyes.

She extinguished her fantasies, a cold smile playing on her lips: "What, you think we can go back to the past?"

"Shen Xuan, if I destroy that agreement, do you think the law will still recognize our relationship?"

That's right, they only signed a divorce agreement and did not formally go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the procedures.

As long as he changes his mind, the relationship is never truly over.

She remembered what the old master of the Li family had said: if Li Siyuan was still indifferent to her within six months, the old master would agree to a divorce.

After all, the old man specifically took his household registration booklet with him before he left.

Now, about half a year has passed, and the old man should be returning soon, but he is still so relentless.

"Li Siyuan, you're a complete bastard!"

Shen Xuan held a spoon, his tone unusually calm, his eyes undisturbed, as if he knew everything.

"Grandpa will be back in two days. You can tell him directly then that you're determined to get a divorce. But I remind you, think it through before you speak!"

Before she could continue speaking...

Just then, a figure rushed in through the door.

"Si Yuan."

Han Xin hurried in, carrying a bag in her hand.

Shen Xuan turned to look at her, and Han Xin's gaze immediately fell upon her as well, her expression changing instantly.

Seeing Shen Xuan eating while wearing a short jacket and a man's pajamas, Han Xin immediately understood.

"Put your things down first!"

"Did you buy this for her?" Han Xin asked, suddenly realizing.

No wonder Li Siyuan asked her to buy underwear; it turns out it was for Shen Xuan.

She had initially thought that Li Siyuan wanted her to prepare, intending to have something happen between them, but it turned out that she had been overthinking it.

"Wasn't I clear enough on the phone? I asked you to bring it over, not that I said it was for you!"

Li Siyuan raised his eyes and said seriously to Han Xin.

Thinking of this, she became furious and simply threw the things on the sofa.

"Si Yuan, she's your ex-wife. You're divorced, why are you still entangled with her?"

"And you, Shen Xuan, isn't Lu Yuchen enough for your amusement? Why do you have to compete with me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan could no longer contain himself.

“Ms. Han, please watch your words. It was your boyfriend who trapped me here; I didn't come here willingly! I'd love to get away from you all to avoid offending my eyes.”

These words deeply stung Li Siyuan, and his expression visibly darkened.

"Xin Xin!" he said sternly, his tone carrying a warning.

"Speak properly!"

Whether it was because Shen Xuan's words touched him or not, his face was now clouded with gloom.

He gazed at her calmly, as if trying to read something from her eyes.

"Si Yuan, you brought her back. What do you think I'm thinking? You promised to marry me, are you going to go back on your word now?"

After finishing her meal, Shen Xuan slammed her bowl down on the table. Hearing Han Xin ask about Li Siyuan marrying her, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

This subconscious action startled both of them with the sudden noise.

Shen Xuan brushed past Li Siyuan, got up, took the items from the sofa, and went straight upstairs.

She had absolutely no interest in getting involved in the argument downstairs.

While rummaging through the bedroom, they discovered that Han Xin had bought sexy lingerie and a set of ordinary clothes.

Shen Xuan tried them out, then tossed them aside.

Apart from the outfit, which was relatively normal, nothing else seemed suitable for going out.

It seems Han Xin and Li Siyuan have done this kind of thing quite often; they even have experience buying underwear.

She took the clothes to the bathroom and washed them carefully, as if trying to wash away all traces of being touched last night.

The thought of his relationship with Han Xin made her feel extremely disgusted.

Time passed quietly outside, and she had no idea when Han Xin left.

She walked out of the bathroom wearing clothes that Han Xin had bought for her, with a shower cap on her head.

She only let her hair down when she stood in front of the full-length mirror.

Holding a hairdryer, I gently blow-dry my wet hair.

He stood by the door, quietly watching her.

Looking in the mirror, Shen Xuan saw the face that had once captivated her but now disgusted her, its arms crossed, staring at her.

In the past, she was obsessed with this face; now, she is only disgusted with it.

She remained silent, simply continuing to blow-dry her hair until she finally turned off the hairdryer.

Li Siyuan watched her retreating figure, then bent down to pick up the hair dryer.

Her orange hair was deliberately placed aside, bathed in the light from the window, exuding a unique charm.

Recalling everything that happened last night, he truly felt her charm for the first time, and felt a strange sense of unease.

Shen Xuan was taken aback, clearly sensing the strangeness in his gaze.

Startled by that look, she involuntarily took two steps back and sat down on the sofa next to her.
