After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.
Chapter 5 Losing control
"Sir, you're back." As soon as Li Siyuan stepped into the living room, the servants around him quickly bowed and greeted him.
The icy aura emanating from him made everyone around him afraid to look up, lest they be frozen by the chill.
"What about her?"
Aunt Ying was already familiar with Li Siyuan's consistently cold attitude towards Shen Xuan, so she knew very well who he was asking about.
"Young Madam, she has already left. This is what she asked me to give you."
Aunt Ying nervously handed over the divorce agreement.
"The young mistress said that she didn't want to take anything from the Li family with her. She just wanted to leave and wished the young master and Miss Xinxin happiness."
Li Siyuan turned sideways and almost snatched the documents from Aunt Ying's hand, his dark and cold eyes fixed on the divorce agreement.
Li Siyuan frowned, took the divorce agreement by hand, his fingers gripping the papers tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging like twisted earthworms, a shocking sight.
For some reason, those bright red characters were glaring to him, and his heart involuntarily tightened.
He strode upstairs, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing was real.
The bedroom curtains were drawn, and the room was dimly lit, but one thing was certain: she was truly gone.
An ominous premonition instantly enveloped her; this time, she was probably determined to leave.
His brow furrowed more and more, and the thin divorce agreement he clutched in his hand was almost crushed. First, there was a hint of anger, then a sense of relief, and finally, an acceptance of fate.
Strangely, even though he wanted her to stay as far away as possible, now that he had successfully driven her away, he wasn't as happy as he had imagined.
Perhaps it was because Shen Xuan's departure without saying goodbye left him feeling very uneasy.
Li Siyuan felt a little anxious. He couldn't believe that Shen Xuan would choose to leave so decisively, but this departure without warning and without leaving any room for negotiation made him lose control and his mind went blank for a moment.
He hurriedly took out his phone, wanting to call her, but the tone of the phone being switched off made him feel as if the whole world had abandoned him.
She turned off her phone. Was she planning to disappear from his world completely?
Li Siyuan's expression turned solemn, and he quickly dialed another number.
On the other end of the phone, another assistant responded, "Sir."
"Help me find out where the young mistress went."
The man's tone was laced with gritted teeth, but his sharply defined face was completely silent at that moment.
"Sir, the young mistress suddenly went back to her hometown around noon today and took the documents from the old man's drawer, as well as his recently obtained passport..."
When he heard the other end of the phone mention documents and passports, his brows furrowed, his face darkened, and his expression somber.
Shen Xuan, how long have you been planning this divorce?
With a "smash," he slammed his phone against the corner of the wall, shattering it and scattering glass shards all over the floor.
The servants downstairs, hearing the sudden noise, all stopped what they were doing and were so startled that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Li Siyuan loosened his tie, his face extremely ugly, but then pretended to be nonchalant and turned to walk into the study.
At that moment, he truly realized that he had completely lost her.
Li Siyuan spent most of the night here, getting up before dawn. He tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.
He himself couldn't explain why he found it so hard to fall asleep on this night without that woman.
Looking at the familiar furnishings and objects in the bedroom, everything was as it had always been, except that one figure was missing.
Even their last connection was reduced to those unbearable memories.
He couldn't bear the emptiness in his heart any longer, so he got up and decided to leave.
When he left the Li family villa, Jiang Yu had already rushed over and was waiting by the car.
Upon seeing Li Siyuan appear at the door, Jiang Yu quickly opened the car door and called out, "Sir."
Li Siyuan raised his wrist, adjusting his cuffs with his other hand. Without glancing at him, he climbed into the car and casually ordered, "Back to the old house."
Sitting in the driver's seat, Jiang Yu clearly noticed the president's unusual behavior, so he asked, "Sir, are you really sure you want to go back to the old house at this time?"
In the past three years, he has only returned to the old house a handful of times. Most of the time, he accompanied Shen Xuan back to "show his face" to prove that he and Shen Xuan still had a connection.
But in reality, after each visit to the old gentleman, he would escort Shen Xuan home and never let him stay overnight.
Now, he will be all alone when he returns to the old house.
The thought of Shen Xuan leaving like this made him extremely unhappy.
Li Siyuan's blood-red eyes suddenly lifted, revealing a hint of coldness, and fell on Jiang Yu, his slender fingers interlaced.
Looking in the rearview mirror, Jiang Yu could tell at a glance that Li Siyuan hadn't slept well last night, and because of Shen Xuan, his face looked even more gloomy and terrifying.
Recalling the unusual events of yesterday, Jiang Yu knew perfectly well that Shen Xuan and Li Siyuan must have had a fight, leaving Li Siyuan in a state of unease.
Seeing that Li Siyuan had no intention of answering his question, Jiang Yu stopped pressing the matter and silently started the car.
After thinking for a moment, as if something had come to mind, he said in a muffled voice, "Sir, are you and your wife alright? She..."
Li Siyuan's gaze was deep, like the calm before a storm, carrying an uneasy turmoil.
Jiang Yu instinctively shut his mouth and quickly changed his words: "What I mean is, Miss Xin couldn't find you yesterday, she even called me. Do you want to call her back? Besides, Miss Xin just returned to the country, she definitely needs someone to take care of her."
In his memory, his master had never seemed so anxious for Shen Xuan, rushing home in a hurry and then appearing in front of him like this.
He had a feeling that Li Siyuan might have been rejected by Shen Xuan, which was why he acted so strangely when Shen Xuan was mentioned.
"Let her stay in Lake City by herself for a couple of days first!"
Li Siyuan's attitude made a complete 180-degree turn, as if he wouldn't have lost control like this if Shen Xuan hadn't been mentioned.
He frowned, unsure what to do with his hands, and leaned his elbows against the car window, saying in a somewhat choked voice, "Give me your phone. Also, go buy a new one and check on the current situation of the Shen family."
He rubbed his temples with interest, his elbow still resting on the car window. When asked to help investigate the Shen family, his voice seemed to soften a little, but an inscrutable dark cloud still hung on his cold face.
Jiang Yu was taken aback, not understanding why the gentleman suddenly brought this up, so he replied seriously: "Sir, for so many years, hasn't the Shen family been under your control? Although your father-in-law is helping to manage the Shen Group, the Shen Group's business has not been going well in the past two years. If it weren't for the Li family, the Shen Group would probably have been ruined by Shen Zhentao long ago."
