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

“What are you doing here?” he demanded.

Shen Xuan glanced at him, her disgust evident: "Do I have to tell you where I'm going before I even start?"

With an "it's none of your business" expression on his face, all he wanted to do was leave as quickly as possible.

Yan Anxun was fully aware of this situation: Shen Xuan disliked him entirely because of his previous actions.

This feeling of disgust has deepened, especially after the recent attempt to suppress a certain company.

Therefore, the other person must be in an even worse mood when they see me this time.

"Shen Xuan, does Li Siyuan know you're here?" he called out to her retreating figure.

Shen Xuan ignored him and continued walking forward.

Yan Anxun was already used to her attitude.

After all, this wasn't the first time she'd done this to him; after seeing it so many times, it didn't bother him anymore.

She turned a corner, stopped in front of the private room, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before going in.

But before she could push the door open, it was pulled open from the inside.

The person who opened the door accidentally met her gaze, and Shen Xuan gripped the hand hidden in her sleeve even tighter.

"You've come?" The man looked slightly surprised, then pushed open the door and invited her inside.

"Where is my sister?"

She stood at the door, her cold gaze fixed on the other person, showing no intention of entering.

She didn't want to get involved in these underhanded dealings, so she simply asked directly, "Just tell me straight, what exactly do you want from getting close to my sister and bringing me here?"

A more obvious disdain shone in his eyes.

"Miss Shen, are you planning to discuss this standing up?"

“Lu Shuli, we’re not that close yet, and we’re not exactly friends. Do you think it’s appropriate for word to get out that the two of us are talking alone in this kind of setting?”

He sneered, his eyes filled with an inexplicable depth, and the smile on his lips seemed to conceal a huge secret.

"Is Miss Shen leaving herself a way out?"

He leaned against the doorframe, looking at her with a frivolous air.

Looking at those beautiful eyes placed on such a face, Shen Xuan felt it was a terrible waste.

I used to think he resembled Lu Yuchen somewhat, but now that I've seen his true colors, that feeling has completely disappeared.

Now she understands that all the chance encounters were the result of careful planning.

"What do you want to do?" she asked through gritted teeth, but eventually went into the room.

"Hasn't Miss Shen been secretly investigating me? Now that things have come to this, can't you see what I'm up to?"

After he finished speaking, he lit a cigarette, leaned against the table, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke that swirled around his face, sending chills down one's spine.

Shen Xuan put her hands in her coat pockets, unconsciously clenching her fists, her gaze still calmly fixed on him.

“I have no interest in investigating someone like you, nor do I want to find out everything about you. You went to so much trouble to get close to my sister, it couldn’t be just because of her. Since I’m here, just tell me your purpose and see if we still need to talk.”

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, the smoke obscuring the expression on his face.

“Miss Shen is naturally not very interested in someone like me, but what if I were to get involved with the Lu family?”

Shen Xuan was startled. When he heard him mention the Lu family, his expression changed several times.

When did he install a listening device on my phone?

Did he secretly attach the bag when it fell into his hands last time?

So, does that mean he's been watching me all this time?

Shen Xuan already found Li Siyuan repulsive enough, but now there was another even more annoying person hovering around her, which was terrifying to think about.

This kind of twisted behavior is comparable to that of Li Siyuan.

"And what is your purpose?" she asked in a calm tone.

Since they went to such lengths to arrange all of this, it must have been for more than just to satisfy his morbid needs.

"Use Miss Shen's identity to bring me into the Lu family!"

He stubbed out his cigarette and stared intently at the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

This seemingly effortless action reveals an attitude of showing no mercy to anything.

"Is that all?" She stared at him, puzzled.

Why can't he just walk into the Lu family openly and honestly? Why does he need to use my name to get in?

She realized that this person not only had no fear of the Li family, but also did not take the Lu family's power seriously in Jiangcheng.

However, she had promised Madam Lu that she would go alone, and now that she had an extra burden, she felt somewhat helpless.

Lu Shuli turned her head slightly to look at her, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and struck a pose of looking down on everyone else.

“It’s too dangerous for Miss Shen to go alone. You need someone to protect you. From this moment on, I will be your personal assistant until I bring you into the Lu family.”

His tone was forceful, giving the impression that one had to obey him, which made Shen Xuan feel once again that he was being tightly entangled.

Where is my sister?

Despite my strong reluctance to talk to him, I was forced to change the subject.

"She's doing fine right now, so you can rest assured. Once we're on the plane to the Lu family's place, I'll arrange for someone to take your sister back."

These words were full of threat, clearly telling her that her fate was in his hands.

She sneered, "Isn't it a bit too much of an insult for the third young master of the Lu family to condescend to be my assistant?"

The pen in his hand trembled slightly a few times. He looked up at her at a 45-degree angle, pressing his temples while looking at her with a surprised expression.

"So, Miss Shen, what role do you intend for me to play when I go to the Lu family with you? As your lover? But that might actually drive your beloved to her death."

He shifted his stance slightly and continued, "Actually, becoming your boyfriend wouldn't be bad. Maybe our appearance together would inspire some people, don't you think?"

Shen Xuan clenched her fists even tighter. If Li Siyuan heard this blatant provocation, she wondered if he would immediately lash out.

Yan Anxun came out of the hall and stopped awkwardly.

The person holding his arm asked, "What's wrong, Young Master Yan?"

The man ignored her, but the thought of Shen Xuan being there made him feel uneasy.

He frowned, took out his phone, and sent a message to Lu Shuli.

"She's Li Siyuan's woman. Don't overstep your bounds, or it will make things awkward between us."

Then he checked his contacts and found that he didn't have Shen Xuan's contact information, so he simply put his phone away.

The woman next to him glanced at him furtively, and Yan Anxun quickly put his phone into his pocket.

His mind suddenly went blank, and he thought of Cheng Lu. He irritably shook off the woman's hand and said coldly, "Go away, and don't let me see you."

The woman was left standing there, looking completely bewildered. Before she could figure out what was going on, Yan Anxun had already turned and left.

"Young Master Yan..."

The woman called out sweetly and chased after him, trying to get into the car, but he shut the door out of her.

As Yan Anxun's car turned a corner to leave, it was suddenly blocked by another car.

Yan Anxun stuck his head out of the driver's seat and recognized who it was through the windshield.
