This unwavering indifference seems to have never changed.

However, Han Xin couldn't help but scoff at his attitude. Thinking that Shen Xuan had returned, she was convinced that he must be hiding a lot of tricks behind the scenes.

Seeing that Li Siyuan completely ignored them and left by closing the door, Li Shulian was furious. She flung open the door and shouted upstairs, "Siyuan, how could you do this? Don't forget that Xinxin is carrying your child! How can you treat her like this?"

Since that incident, Li Siyuan has never given her a kind look again, and has even strictly forbidden her from stepping into this area.

This scene deeply pierced Han Xin's heart.

They used to be such a close couple, but now, the intense love in Li Siyuan's eyes is gone, replaced only by the weariness and tranquility brought on by daily trivialities.

Even the close bond between cousins ​​has become increasingly distant.

For two whole days, Shen Xuan rested in the small house, as if life had returned to its starting point.

As her condition improved, she became much more energetic.

Considering the inheritance left to her by Grandpa Li, she ultimately decided to face this man.

He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed his number. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to press the call button.

The phone rang several times before being answered. There was no response for a long time, and she waited, feeling extremely awkward, holding her phone.

The silence was finally broken when the other person spoke: "Hello? Who are you?"

He has never been a patient person, so he asked impatiently after only a short while.

"It's me," she slowly uttered.

Although it was only two short words, he immediately recognized her voice. The document he was gripping tightly in his hand instantly became even more tense, while the atmosphere relaxed considerably.

She called him, which meant she was ready to come to him, and he naturally took it seriously.

"Just tell me straight, how do you plan to return the Shen family to me?"

She brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, leaned against the table, propped herself up on her elbow, and remained expressionless.

Li Siyuan sat on a wicker chair by the window, one leg crossed over the other, with documents on his lap and his hand beside them.

Upon hearing her question, he suddenly closed the file.

"I'll be waiting for you at the Haicheng Hotel at 1 p.m. You'll come to talk to me in person. Remember, I don't want anyone else following you."

His implication was clear: he wanted her to come alone. Hearing this, Shen Xuan felt very uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Could we go somewhere else? I'm worried that if your wife finds out about our meeting, it might cause her to misunderstand. You know I'm no match for Han Xin, and I'm a little worried..."

If it weren't for Han Xin, her married life might not have turned out this way!

She thought that since he could treat her like this, she didn't need to show him any mercy.

The way she said "your wife" made it clear what their relationship was all about.

Upon hearing this, he sneered a few times and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh, do you really think you can negotiate with me outside with Lu Yuchen? This kind of thing is not suitable for discussion in public."

A self-deprecating smile played on her lips, but she firmly offered her suggestion: "Why don't I go work for your company?"

The only reply on the other end of the phone was, "We'll talk about it later."

Then he hung up the phone.

She didn't think much of it, just tidied up her things, picked up the prepared materials, and hurriedly went out.

Li Siyuan, who was gripping his phone tightly with one hand and massaging his temples with the other, abruptly pulled his other foot back when he saw the person entering the room.

He stood up, facing the window, and said, gripping his wrist with one hand, "Quickly draft the contract."

The face reflected through the floor-to-ceiling window looked even more aloof than before.

Looking at the long-lost powerful figure behind him, Jiang Yu nodded and left the room.

Shen Xuan arrived at the Li Group building and walked in without hesitation.

The receptionists ignored who she was and were busy with their own work.

She walked to the elevator with practiced ease, pressed the button, and waited.

In another direction, the elevator doors opened, and a man wearing black-rimmed glasses rushed out, but upon seeing her, he immediately stepped back two paces and stared at her.

The man took off his glasses and held them to his nose, looking him up and down: "Hey, I really didn't expect to run into you here!"

The woman smoothed her hair behind her ear and asked without showing any emotion, "Besides official business, is there anything else important that needs to be done here?"

Even though she hadn't seen him for a long time, Shen Xuan still found his face particularly annoying.

"You disappeared for two years. You're not coming back this time to get back together with Li Siyuan, are you?" Yan Anxun started stirring things up again.

He had already heard about their affair and knew very well that there could be no further connection between Shen Xuan and Li Siyuan.

I brought this up suddenly just to test her.

"Do you think that's possible?" Shen Xuan asked back.

He looked her up and down again, a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "You seem to be doing quite well. Is life abroad really that good?"

Hearing the implication in his words, Shen Xuan forced a wry smile and said, "Yes, compared to Haicheng, overseas is indeed better. Haicheng is good in every way, but it's not a very comfortable place to stay."

Her implication was clear: Haicheng was a place that only produced men like them.

Shen Xuan glanced at Yan Anxun, then nodded and entered the elevator without saying anything more.

Yan Anxun casually pushed up his sunglasses, then whistled as he left.

Every time he came to Li's Company, the female employees downstairs would get incredibly excited.

In the elevator, Shen Xuan felt uneasy. She gently patted her chest to reassure herself that she was only there to discuss work and there was nothing to be afraid of. Then she leaned against the side.

As the elevator numbers slowly rose, her mood grew increasingly heavy.

Finally, the elevator doors opened.

When Ye Fan saw her come out, he immediately went up to greet her and guided her to the office.

Along the way, Ye Fan would occasionally glance at Shen Xuan, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: her attire, the way she walked...

Is she really still the same Mrs. Li from before? Feeling like she was being watched, Shen Xuan felt as if she were being monitored.

She only stopped and looked around after she entered the office.

The door closed silently.

Her gaze lingered on the figure on the sofa, and she felt a slight stirring in her heart.

Excluding the period when she was in a coma, it had only been a little over a year since they last met, so it wasn't too unfamiliar for her.

Li Siyuan stared at the figure at the door, recalling the scene of her appearing at the cemetery in professional attire last time, the two forming a stark contrast.
