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

Shen Xuan looked down at herself, growing angrier the more she looked. Thinking about her plan, she bit her lip hard again: "It's none of your business! What kind of relationship do we have?"

The towel in Li Siyuan's hand trembled with anger, and then he threw it aside violently.

He easily swept a hand through the air, then lifted her chin, forcing her into a corner. "What kind of person do I have to become to have the right to question you?"

Shen Xuan turned her face away to avoid his gaze and said coldly, "Li Siyuan, this is a public place. Can you please restrain this strange behavior? Even if you don't care about your image, I still have to consider it!"

"How dare you even mention the word 'face' when you appear in front of everyone dressed like that?"

He said this while playing with her curly hair, his tone full of teasing.

Shen Xuan quickly turned her head, staring intently at him, a surge of anger rising within her.

"Compared to someone like you, everyone else outside is much more aboveboard."

"This kind of person?" He sneered, gently pinching her chin with his fingers and moving his gaze closer to her.

"Shen Xuan, do you want to see just how terrifying this kind of man really is?"

"You're sick!" She glared at him fiercely, quickly pushed him away, and was about to turn and leave.

My wrist was suddenly grabbed, and my body slammed against the wall again.

The pain was so intense that she felt like her body was about to fall apart.

"Li Siyuan!" Shen Xuan was so angry that she couldn't speak.

In the blink of an eye, he took off his coat and forced it onto her, carefully buttoning it up.

Shen Xuan struggled a bit, his domineering manner infuriating her. "Take your clothes away, I don't want them!"

"Shen Xuan, don't force me to let you go out naked!" His eyes were full of threat.

Shen Xuan instinctively looked at him, and was so frightened by his cold eyes that she trembled.

This man, whose moods change in an instant, can shift his expression faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Listen carefully, when you get back to the auction, you are not allowed to say anything, especially not to bid on Xuanmao Group, understand?"

As he spoke, he pulled Shen Xuan out of the bathroom.

Wearing his clothes, Shen Xuan felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

When the two of them appeared at the auction, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Li Siyuan was wearing a gray striped shirt with a silver vest, but the expensive coat was worn by the woman next to him, making it seem like the relationship between the two was unusual.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but look at his boss, Shen Xuan, standing beside him.

Guan Chengxin looked on with a puzzled expression as Li Siyuan walked in with his arm around her shoulder.

All the rumors circulating outside seemed to be confirmed at this moment. No wonder the Shen Group was able to develop so rapidly; it turned out that it had the support of the Li family behind it.

However, the sudden appearance of the eldest son of the Li family, who usually doesn't care much about these things, left everyone looking at each other in surprise and speculating.

In an inconspicuous corner, another pair of eyes kept their eyes fixed on the couple, their gaze filled with complex emotions.

As soon as the auctioneer struck the gavel, the crowd below the stage began to bid enthusiastically.

When the host announced, "The next company we're bidding on is a small but well-known film and television company. It's one of the more popular groups around here. The starting bid is five million. Please start bidding now."

Just as Shen Xuan was about to pick up the sign to speak, she turned her head and bumped into Li Siyuan's cold face.

She had barely touched the sign when he snatched it away.

"If you really want to start a film and television company, go and set one up yourself. Just don't touch Xuanmao Group."

"Li Siyuan, can't you mind your own business?"

He stared intently at her and said coldly, "Shen Xuan, what if this is a trap? Are you willing to gamble with the Shen family?"

"Then why didn't you pull me away earlier? Why did you bring me here?"

"I want you to give up on this idea completely! I don't want to see you getting involved with that guy surnamed Gu anymore."

"Li Siyuan!" Shen Xuan shouted angrily, her voice loud enough for everyone to hear.

Almost simultaneously, someone had already loudly bid up to twenty million, but because of her shout, the host turned his attention back to her and asked, "Madam, please repeat your bid."

"Twenty-two million!"

Shen Xuan had no intention of paying any more attention to Li Siyuan, so she simply raised her hand and loudly stated her price.

"Twenty-two million! This lady offered twenty-two million, is there anyone willing to go higher?"

The host asked again in a loud voice.

Li Siyuan was completely enraged. He quickly stood up from his seat, grabbed Shen Xuan's wrist expressionlessly, and pulled her towards the door.

The scene immediately erupted in cheers!

"Hey, why did they leave? Hey, you two, where are you going?"

At that moment, a voice behind him shouted out an even higher price: "Twenty-three million!"

"..."

In the corridor, Shen Xuan forcefully shook off his hand.

"What are you going to do?"

"You dare to throw out 20 million for a lousy company? Do you think you have money to burn or do you really think you're tough as nails? Don't you think this is obviously a trap set up by the Lu family?"

He straightened his suit and vest and said in a deep voice, "You should think carefully about why the Lu family hasn't taken any action against the Shen family yet. Since Lu Yucheng's accident, the Lu family seems to have never bothered you. Logically speaking, given Madam Lu's usual opinion of you, this is a bit illogical."

Shen Xuan realized what was going on and, remembering all the hostility he had shown towards her and Lu Yuchen, stared straight at him: "Li Siyuan, are you jealous now because Xuanmao Group was once owned by my ex-fiancé's family? Are you trying to scare me with this?"

It's clear that these words made Li Siyuan even more unhappy.

He felt that Shen Xuan was becoming more and more adept at hurting him, at provoking and tormenting him through words.

She always seemed to enjoy it, however he was annoyed by her words.

Instead of getting angry, he laughed. "Shen Xuan, you're right. We've already broken off our engagement. What am I going to hold a grudge against? Do you think I'd hold a grudge against someone who's like a walking corpse?"

Upon hearing him say "walking corpses," Shen Xuan gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, feeling as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart, a sharp pain suddenly spreading through her chest.

"But he will come back sooner or later. I will wait for his return in Jiangcheng."

She deliberately turned her head away, avoiding his gaze from a distance.

Li Siyuan was absolutely furious!

Even though that person wasn't there, Shen Xuan's heart still drifted with that person.

And yet, she could still say such things in front of him.

He couldn't understand why the person who once loved him so deeply was now completely unimportant to him.

He was completely unaware of when this love began to fade.
