"No need, I can go by myself!"

Shen Xuan glanced at Li Shulian, then turned to Li Siyuan, his eyes filled with a calm understanding of everything.

"You should take your mother-in-law to the old house!"

Li Shulian looked at Shen Xuan in surprise, only then noticing that her waistline had noticeably thickened, confirming the news of her pregnancy.

Her attitude softened, and she took the initiative to make way.

"I'll take you back, no need to say anything more."

As he spoke, he grabbed the suit jacket from the sofa and quickly put it on.

Faced with his usual decisiveness, Shen Xuan remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Shulian's eyes showed some concession.

She picked up her handbag, glanced at Shen Xuan, and then turned and left.

On the way, Shen Xuan leaned her head against the back seat, and the car was so quiet it was suffocating.

What are you thinking about?

Seeing her in a daze, Li Siyuan felt a slight displeasure.

Is she really that unhappy being with me?

Shen Xuan turned her head slightly and asked in a heavy tone, "Li Siyuan, if it weren't for this child, would you have set me free?"

His face instantly darkened; it seemed she still harbored feelings for another man.

A surge of inexplicable anger rose in his chest: "Shen Xuan, you can't find Lu Yuchen! He has already left Jiangcheng. You've been back at the Li family for so long, and you haven't received a single call from him. Don't you have any premonitions?"

"What?" Her heart tightened suddenly, and an ominous premonition struck her in an instant.

She checked her phone and it seemed there were indeed no messages from him.

"Li Siyuan, I've already come back with you, why are you treating me like this?"

Shen Xuan was on the verge of collapse, wishing she could rush up and confront him immediately.

"Don't you know Lu Yuchen's true identity yet? Shen Xuan, you don't even know who's helping you, and you're still thinking about marrying him? You live in your own little world all day long, when are you going to open your eyes and see the world?"

Recalling the phone call Lu Yuchen received from his family, her heart ached faintly.

Is it because of her that his mother strongly opposed the relationship and even took action?

My heart is breaking; I've always been a burden to others.

How could anyone accept someone like her?

She suddenly realized that only by becoming stronger could she have everything she wanted.

After a moment's thought, she asked, "Li Siyuan, have you taken action against the Shen family?"

For some reason, her father didn't bother her with such an important matter, which made her worry that something might have happened to him.

“This has nothing to do with you!”

His tone was icy, his face indifferent, as if he had erected a wall around himself.

Shen Xuan recalled Li Shulian's words and became certain that he had already interfered in the affairs of the Shen family.

A sense of unease crept into his heart: "What did you do to the Shen family?"

He became even more irritated when he heard her constantly defending others and treating him as an enemy.

Regardless of the circumstances, even if they divorce, the child in her womb is still his flesh and blood. Does she really not trust him at all?

“Your dad took your sister abroad directly, and your phone was left at the Li family's house, so your dad can't reach you by phone! Do you understand? Do you need me to repeat it to make sure you remember?”

His voice was full of anger, and he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his anger clearly visible on his face.

If it weren't for the child in her womb, he would have impatiently ended it all at this moment.

Shen Xuan lowered her head, her eyes looking somewhat lost. It turned out that she had been abandoned by the Shen family.

Turning to look at him, she noticed the unusual anger on his face, which calmed her down.

She knew the consequences of angering him. Ever since that farce of marrying him three years ago, which touched his sore spot, she had been locked in the Li family's basement for three days and three nights.

After her prenatal checkup, she was really bored and afraid of running into Li Shulian when she returned to the Li family, so she went with him to the Li's Prosperous Group.

People always say that Li Siyuan divorced his ex-wife for Han Xin, and his career almost fell apart afterward. Everyone is curious about who this woman is who can make their CEO lose his composure.

Therefore, when she stepped into the center of the Lishi Shengshi Group building, everyone's gaze became unusual.

Li Siyuan entered the company, ignoring Shen Xuan. She followed him from a distance, and only entered another elevator after he stepped into the first one.

Some people caught a glimpse of Shen Xuan and whispered among themselves about her background.

"Hey, isn't that Mrs. Li, Mr. Li's wife? How come she's gotten so fat?"

"I don't think so. I heard that President Li's career almost collapsed because of his ex-wife. This woman couldn't possibly be her, and besides, they didn't go upstairs together."

"Why does she look so familiar? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before!"

"..."

The vague whispers reached her ears, making her quite uncomfortable, so she glanced at them sideways.

Those people sensed her gaze and quickly turned their heads away.

She didn't say anything, just glanced at it, and then entered the elevator.

The argument that morning had left him feeling uneasy, so she sat on the sofa in his office, but he didn't say a word.

He went to the conference room for a meeting, and Jiang Yu took the opportunity to approach him and ask, "Madam, what did you and the master talk about? Why does he look so pale? He looks like he's swallowed a bomb."

Shen Xuan said coldly, "He's always been like this, hasn't he?"

He got so angry just because she misunderstood him without knowing the truth?

Jiang Yu smiled, slightly relieved: "Luckily, I ran fast. In the conference room just now, the gentleman's face was terrifyingly dark; he was angry at everyone and gave the senior management a thorough dressing-down."

Shen Xuan frowned; he was still the same narrow-minded man.

Three years have passed, and his temperament has not changed at all; she has almost forgotten him.

Those high-ranking officials are really unlucky; they were reprimanded for no reason and don't even know why.

"Jiang Yu, you've been following Li Siyuan for quite a while now, haven't you?" she suddenly asked seriously.

"Please speak frankly, Madam. I'm a little flustered by your question."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and then asked directly, "Are you aware of the Shen family's situation?"

Jiang Yu assumed she wanted to know about the Shen family's business, so he blurted out, "The Shen family has been poorly managed over the years. Is Madam unaware of this?"

If I already knew, why would I ask you? If I did know, why bring it up?

"Hmm!" She nodded and said nothing more.

There's no need to ask him about these things; if she wants to know, she can find out by investigating herself. There's no need to trouble him with an answer.

Shen Xuan didn't stand up from the sofa until Li Siyuan left the office.

Just as I was about to step out, I heard a rustling sound outside the door, and then the office door was pushed open.

Shen Xuan stopped, looked up, and the person who came in seemed to have noticed her as well, and stopped in their tracks.

Her eyes met Li Siyuan's; he was still furious.

Shen Xuan didn't want to apologize first; she just stared at him blankly.

"Why haven't you left yet?" His tone was full of anger.

"Huh? Where else do you think I'd be? You won't let me go anywhere else, do you want me to go back to the Li family and glare at your mother?"

Shen Xuan was bewildered by Li Siyuan's extreme anger, as if his gaze could burn her to ashes.

The more Li Siyuan looked at her, the angrier he became.

Shen Xuan simply kept her lips tightly shut and said, "Forget it, I'll go shopping, so I don't bother you here!"

After saying that, he walked out of the other person's office without waiting for their reaction.
