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

Their eyes met; her gaze was firm and unwavering.

"Shen Xuan, do you want your child to come into this world without knowing why?" he questioned in a harsh tone.

"I can give the child to you after it's born, but I will never remarry, Li Siyuan. Stop threatening me. Keeping this child is already the limit of my ability. Don't try to force me!"

These words ignited his anger, and it seemed that no matter what he did, he couldn't change her mind.

A flash of anger crossed his eyes as he looked at her stubborn posture, feeling as if he had been deeply wounded.

With a forceful swing, Shen Xuan's head accidentally hit the seat in front of him.

Since she is so ungrateful, he no longer needs to grovel and try to win back her cold heart.

The vehicle came to a quick stop.

In an instant, the car stopped just two steps away from the Li family manor.

With a loud bang, the car door slammed shut.

Shen Xuan instinctively got out of the car. Without saying a word, Li Siyuan walked to the driver's seat, took Jiang Yu with him, and then drove away.

Due to the previous collision, her head was impacted, and her abdomen began to ache.

She gently stroked her belly, and Jiang Yu immediately stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong, Madam?"

"I feel a little sick to my stomach."

She rested one hand on Jiang Yu's shoulder, her body slightly bent.

Through the rearview mirror, Li Siyuan caught a glimpse of the receding figure and noticed that Shen Xuan's hand was on Jiang Yu's shoulder, and due to the angle, he could only see her body nestled beside him.

An anger rose in his heart. This woman dared to mess with anyone, and now she actually dared to provoke his subordinate.

Jiang Yu watched Li Siyuan walk away into the distance, then glanced at Shen Xuan's state, looking somewhat bewildered.

Fortunately, the discomfort in her abdomen only came in waves, and while the pain was still bearable, she managed to walk back to the villa.

Lacking experience, she simply rested on the bed for a while after returning to the villa.

"Madam, you don't look well at all. Should I call your husband and have him take you to the hospital now?"

Jiang Yu escorted her into the house and, noticing that she was not in a good condition, asked her with concern.

Thinking of Li Siyuan's attitude, she replied coldly, "No need!"

Jiang Yu frowned and looked at her for a while. Seeing that she seemed to be alright, he decided to leave.

Shen Xuan sat on the sofa, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Just as he was about to get up and go upstairs, Li Shulian appeared at the door.

"Hey, I thought you weren't coming back tonight. There's no food left for you in the kitchen, so you'll have to fend for yourself."

Li Shulian entered the room carrying a bag, clearly having just returned from playing cards and chatting with those wealthy women.

Faced with this, she chose to remain silent, showing no emotion whatsoever. She simply stared blankly at Li Shulian for a moment before continuing to walk upstairs.

She never expected that now that she was pregnant, her mother-in-law would come back to take care of her.

Seeing that she ignored her words, Li Shulian's anger burned even more fiercely.

He quickly threw down his bag, muttering to himself, and headed upstairs.

"I said, so what if you're pregnant? Why are you being so delicate?"

Shen Xuan ignored her and sat quietly on the sofa in the bedroom, her face as pale as paper.

"I'm talking to you, did you hear me? Go cook now!"

Seeing her barge in at any time, Li Shulian was furious. She stood up abruptly and said sharply, "You treat me like this every day, aren't you afraid I'll lose my temper?"

"You..." Li Shulian was stunned by Shen Xuan's sudden aura.

"Shen Xuan, am I no longer able to control you?"

Shen Xuan approached calmly, exuding an aura that was not to be underestimated, and looked directly at her: "Don't forget why you came back this time? If you want to be an empress, go back to where you belong. After all, I'm not going to serve you anymore. To be honest, I can't even be bothered with your son anymore, so why would I care about your attitude?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shulian was stunned and startled by the sudden assertiveness.

When did she become so amazing?

However, she was no pushover either. Faced with such an impudent daughter-in-law, she raised her hand to slap her.

Shen Xuan quickly grabbed her wrist. "Try hitting me again. See if your son will come to your defense."

Immediately afterwards, she shook off Li Shulian's wrist, pushed her away, and slammed the door shut.

For the proud Li Shulian, such humiliation was unbearable.

She immediately dialed Li Siyuan's number.

Shen Xuan leaned against the door, listening to the noises outside, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She sobbed, and the pain in her stomach intensified.

The impulsive action just now seems to have made the stomach pain worse; the feeling when I came back was nowhere near as bad as it is now.

She slowly slumped to the ground, feeling liquid flowing between her legs.

She reached out and touched it; her palm was stained red with blood.

She weakly tried to open the door, but couldn't reach the doorknob...

Outside the door, Li Shulian was loudly complaining to Li Siyuan on the other end of the phone, as if she wanted the whole world to hear her dissatisfaction.

She knocked lightly on the door, but there was still silence inside, with only Li Shulian's voice echoing in the air.

Shen Xuan clutched her abdomen, enduring the intense pain, and slowly moved towards the sofa, reaching out to grab her phone from the table.

A long trail of blood stretched from her feet, shockingly leading to the sofa, making one's heart skip a beat.

Once Li Shulian's voice outside finally subsided, Shen Xuan tried to dial Li Siyuan's number.

However, no matter how many times she dialed, the other party did not answer.

Pain churned in her abdomen, and Shen Xuan finally hung up helplessly, her heart filled with disappointment.

The child was merely a means for him to control her; otherwise, they wouldn't have to be so estranged.

Li Siyuan sat alone in the private room, constantly raising his glass to drink.

His phone showed several missed calls from Shen Xuan. He glanced at them, then turned off his phone in annoyance.

Peng Yanzhou, holding a wine glass, leaned his head on his knees and said to him, "Shen Xuan has made so many calls, are you really not going to answer? What if it's an emergency?"

He felt troubled when Li Shulian recounted her argument with Shen Xuan over the phone.

He believed that her frequent calls were simply complaints about her discord with his mother and her attempts to escape him.

“She’s pregnant. Since you’ve brought her back, you can’t treat her like this!” Peng Yanzhou advised again.

He responded calmly: "She has another man in her heart, and she even wants to take my child to live with someone else."

Recalling what Shen Xuan had bought, he suddenly felt somewhat relieved.

In the end, he was defeated by that unborn life, and that anticipation made him feel the wonder of emotions.

When Li Siyuan returned home, the house was already quiet.

He went upstairs to open the door, only to find it locked. After trying twice, he knocked and said, "I know you're still angry. Open the door, let's talk it over. It's up to you whether you stay or leave."

After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside the house.

Li Siyuan sensed something was wrong and raised his voice: "Open the door now!"

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he kicked the door open.
