During the three years of their marriage, he never once looked at her properly.

What I never expected was that one day she would be able to negotiate with him with such a firm determination.

Shen Xuan walked over, sat in the center of the sofa, took out the contract from her bag, and handed it to the other party.

"Take a look at this document. If it's acceptable, we can discuss the terms."

She gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, straightened her back, and looked at him with unwavering determination.

Li Siyuan glanced at the person in front of him a few times, then his gaze fell on the contract. When he noticed the ring on her ring finger, his expression suddenly became complicated, and a surge of anger quietly rose within him.

He quickly picked up the document she handed him, glanced at it twice, and then threw it back.

"Isn't the company the old man gave you much stronger than the Shen family's?" he asked, staring at her with a firm tone.

“I don’t need anything from the Li family, but the things from the Shen family should eventually return to the Shen family, after all, this is the foundation of the Shen family.”

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan immediately became restless.

What kind of deep-seated hatred must one harbor to say such a thing?

"If I didn't want to give you the Shen family name, would it still bear the Shen surname? Changing the name and surname is a piece of cake for me, isn't it? Shen Xuan, when you talk to me, you should have the attitude of talking business. Don't think about how to make me angry. It won't do you any good!"

"Then what exactly do you want in order to return the Shen family to me?" she pressed.

His gaze fell on Shen Xuan's ring finger again, and he felt even more annoyed.

"Are you in such a hurry to take back the Shen family business, trying to completely sever ties with me?"

"Yes," she nodded without hesitation.

After all, the main reason for my return this time was because of the Shen family.

What time did you wake up?

He suddenly changed the subject, asking a question in a low voice, which left her stunned for a moment.

"what?"

"Didn't you take me to the hospital several times? I don't know which time you're referring to?" she deliberately asked back.

His words were filled with the pain and helplessness he had caused.

It was he who started bringing up the old story.

Upon hearing this topic, his face immediately darkened, and the terrifying image flashed through his mind.

Although a long time has passed, he still feels a pang of pain whenever he thinks about it, especially seeing her struggle in despair, which makes him even more regretful.

Shen Xuan stared at his face. Seeing his gloomy appearance, she couldn't help but think of his cold-heartedness, and her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

"What have you and Lu Yucheng been through these past two years? Have you officially gotten married?"

He lowered his head and asked coldly again.

The thought of her being so happy with another man suddenly made him feel lonely.

Shen Xuan frowned, a little angry. Whatever happened between her and Lu Yuchen was none of his business.

Besides, he could easily find out if they were married or not by checking, so why ask again?

He was just afraid to investigate further and didn't dare to face the fact that Shen Xuan had married someone else.

The thought that the name on the certificate wasn't his made him even more afraid of losing her forever, so he panicked.

"I'm not here to chat with you about this nonsense, Li Siyuan. Just tell me what it will take for you to return the Shen family to me!"

Shen Xuan didn't want to waste time on irrelevant topics and went straight to the point.

His slightly stiff gaze swept over her face, and he felt inexplicably irritated. His hands clasped together awkwardly.

"Are you two married?" he asked the same question again, stubbornly.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "He's always been by my side, and we've lived together for over a year. Don't you think we're married?"

These harsh words, entering his ears, seemed to confirm his suspicions, causing Li Siyuan a sharp pain in his heart.

After all, Shen Xuan's return this time involved going to Xuanmao Group.

If she didn't have that special relationship with Lu Yuchen, how could she suddenly become an important figure in Xuanmao?

He pulled the contract from his pocket, held it high, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "This shows 70% of Shen's shares. I can transfer them to you, but on the condition that you break up with Lu Yucheng!"

With a bang, the document was thrown at her without any politeness, as if her dignity had been thrown away along with it.

Shen Xuan stared at the paper for a long time without saying a word, but in the end, he was so shocked by what he said that he was speechless.

She thought to herself, since she had nothing to do with his marriage anyway, divorce was a false proposition.

Now, as long as we get this agreement first, we can find an opportunity to marry Lu Yuchen in the future, right?

Moreover, he didn't forbid the possibility of getting back together with that man in the future.

“Okay,” she readily replied. Li Siyuan, however, frowned even more deeply.

"Haven't I made myself clear enough? I'm telling you to get rid of Lu Yuchen completely! Stay away from him, do you understand?"

Fearing she might not understand, he repeated it again, this time with a hint of surprise.

He stared incredulously at the seemingly indifferent woman's face, utterly perplexed.

What is she planning? Is it because she misunderstood what she was trying to say?

Or perhaps in her view, Lu Yuchen was far less important than the family, which made the deal seem so easy?

"I will do as you say, don't worry," she said firmly.

“This is the company my grandfather left me, and I’m returning it to you now. As for the rest of your family’s inheritance, I don’t want it, on the condition that you don’t harass the Shen family after signing this.”

She then quickly completed a series of procedures and put the documents directly into her backpack.

The action was swift and decisive, leaving Li Siyuan speechless.

As she got up to leave, she inadvertently noticed that the other person was staring intently at her handbag.

Following the gaze, it turned out that the wedding ring on her ring finger had caught my attention.

She immediately took off the ring and sighed, "It's such a pity I've spent so much time with you..."

She then threw the ornament in her hand into the trash can, as if she were completely erasing any trace of Lu Yuchen.

Then he picked up his bag from the sofa and turned to leave.

As Li Siyuan watched the figure gradually disappear, a strange emotion welled up inside him.

It felt like Shen Xuan had tricked me.

He immediately made a phone call and ordered an investigation: "Find out Shen Xuan's specific situation abroad over the past two years, especially her marital status."

I received a reply in less than ten minutes.

"Sir, your wife indeed has no marriage registration record. She was in a coma for over six months while overseas and received excessive treatment... therefore, her health is not good..."

Upon hearing his assistant's report, Li Siyuan's expression changed drastically.

He had been sitting there leisurely, wondering whether the other party would make a decision for their own benefit, but the answer he received made him jump up from the sofa, his face instantly filled with complex emotions.

It turns out that everything was a carefully planned trap.
