Without thinking twice, she went downstairs.

When she reached the door, she met those cold eyes again, and her hand involuntarily froze.

This guy definitely wasn't going to let her go. Shen Xuan felt nothing but resistance towards his attitude.

Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?

He stared at her and asked, noticing that her eyes were a little red and swollen, and that she was wearing a blue nightgown with the outline of her underwear faintly visible in the sunlight. A strange emotion suddenly welled up in his heart.

She gritted her teeth and said impatiently, "If I'm not going to let you in, are you just going to leave?"

This situation had become so commonplace for her that nothing could stir her emotions anymore.

Why didn't you mention that you were almost set up last time?

She rubbed her forehead again, her tone indifferent: "This doesn't seem to concern you, does it?"

Why did he come looking for trouble so early in the morning? Was it just because of this trivial matter?

Shen Xuan felt that his behavior was becoming increasingly abnormal.

"Ah Xuan, I promised to arrange a meeting for you, so please don't answer me like that. Even if I made many mistakes before, I'm trying to make up for them, aren't I?"

"Just say what's on your mind, I'm in a hurry to get out."

She changed her attitude, pulled her hand back from the door frame, and made way for him.

He said he was going out early in the morning, but Li Siyuan would never believe him so easily.

They would just think she was deliberately avoiding spending time with the two of them.

After figuring out why she was rejecting his approach, he consciously moved a little further away...

Shen Xuan watched coldly, then glanced at her watch, wondering where Shen Feiyan had gone.

Shen Xuan didn't want her to get involved in these messy things, and even less did he want her to get involved in his troubles. He gripped his phone tightly, but a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

How can I contact her without a cell phone?

Looking up, I realized that a pair of eyes were scrutinizing me.

Shen Xuan subconsciously glanced down at her pajamas and, finding them somewhat uncomfortable, went upstairs.

I picked out two outfits from the closet and tried them on. I chose a shirt to wear with jeans.

When I went downstairs, I saw him resting with his head on the sofa, his eyes closed.

His handsome yet cold face came into view, filling her heart with a strange sadness.

Thinking about how he came to see me so early in the morning, I wondered if he hadn't slept a wink all night.

She walked down the stairs quietly, her gaze fixed on his back.

That silhouette, even from a distance, gives people an indescribable sense of pressure.

That person was once the ideal man she pursued during her teenage years.

Now, the things she once longed for seem to have vanished without a trace.

"If you're too tired, go back to sleep. I have some things to take care of."

As she spoke, Shen Xuan walked towards the coffee table and picked up her car keys, breaking the silence.

Upon hearing the voice, he was slightly startled, lazily opened his eyes, glanced at her, as if he hadn't fully grasped the meaning of her words.

"Is that your room?"

He stood up, straightened his suit, and headed straight upstairs.

Shen Xuan was so angry she almost fainted.

She was clearly telling him to go home and rest, but he misunderstood and thought she wanted to take over her room.

As he climbed higher and higher, her expression kept changing: "Li Siyuan! My sister and I sleep in the same room. You'd better go home right now. I really have to go out!"

He paused slightly, one of his long legs stopping at the fifth step of the stairs, one hand in his pocket, the other casually outside.

She thought he would leave, but Li Siyuan raised his other hand and interrupted her, "I think I just saw your sister leaving with a suitcase? Are you sure she'll still come to live with you?"

"You saw her? Do you know where she went?"

Hearing him say that, she immediately became anxious.

For some reason, she now particularly hopes that Shen Feiyan can stay.

Perhaps it was because I felt lonely that I needed this younger sister by my side even more...

His voice paused for several seconds, then he turned to look at her and said slowly, "I'm a little sleepy and can't remember. I'll help you recall where she went after I wake up."

After saying that, he stepped upstairs.

Shen Xuan was stunned. He knew perfectly well where Shen Feiyan had gone, yet he deliberately gave her this perfunctory answer.

Watching him walk into the bedroom, I was so angry I felt like I was going to explode.

She was truly helpless against this shameless man.

After waiting all morning at the Shen family home, Shen Feiyan didn't even show up.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm so sleepy now.

She sat on the sofa, staring at the closed door upstairs, her anger growing stronger.

Finally, he simply lay down on the sofa, covered himself with a coat, and drifted off to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the person upstairs came out of the bedroom.

The people downstairs are still deep in a dream.

He straightened his cuffs, originally thinking Shen Xuan would be doing something else downstairs, but when he looked up he saw the small, thin figure lying quietly on the sofa.

A sudden tightness in my chest made me feel a pang of sadness. My gaze fell on the coat, and a wave of bitterness washed over me.

He walked gently to her side, and Shen Xuan's forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat.

She kept repeating, "Don't go, don't leave, save me, I miss you, I miss you..."

Li Siyuan frowned, looking down at her, a strange irritation rising in his heart. This woman was dreaming about another man, and all her bad dreams must be related to him!

Shen Xuan's dream was filled with car accident scenes, images of Lu Yuchen, scenes of blood, and that man's face.

"No..." she screamed, sitting up abruptly from the sofa, gasping for breath.

Then, she was startled by the shadow in front of her and quickly dodged to the other side, her face turning pale.

She rubbed her forehead, sat up wearily, her heart still pounding from the dream she had just had.

"What did you dream about? You were so scared!"

Li Siyuan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. Shen Xuan hesitated for a moment, then took the glass and took a small sip.

"It's nothing," she said casually.

Because of nervousness, she gripped the cup tightly, and her eyes began to dart away.

"Now can you tell me where my sister went?"

She avoided his questions, and even though she didn't look at him, she felt uncomfortable under his intense gaze.

She took a sip of water, trying to ease her tension, her hands trembling slightly.

Li Siyuan felt a sharp pain in his heart. Seeing her avoiding him for the sake of another person made him feel extremely disgusted.

"Shen Xuan, you don't actually think that the reason I didn't take you to see him that day and even took you out of the hospital was because I wanted to keep you away from him, do you?"

She kept her mouth tightly shut, her gaze indifferent as she looked at him. In truth, she felt a little disgusted by the topic, but she couldn't deny its existence.

After all, when he took her away from the hospital, the Lu family must have thought she was wavering between two sides, having feelings for Lu Yuchen on one hand and being entangled with him on the other. Therefore, Lu Yuchen's kindness to her was rejected by the Lu family.
