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

He paused for a moment, then looked away and said calmly, "He promised his mother that if he married you, he would come back and take the Lu family business from me. So, I won't let him live. What a pity."

She clenched her fists, then slowly relaxed them, thinking that talking about family ties with such a heartless person was a waste of the word.

She turned and went to the bedside. She took off the ring from her ring finger and placed it in his palm, holding it tightly for a while. Then she wiped away her tears, put his hand back under the covers, got up, and left.

She took two steps, but then felt a pang of reluctance, so she returned to the bedside, cradled him in her hands, and said tenderly, "I'll be waiting for you in Jiangcheng!"

Lu Shuli felt a strange sense of jealousy as she watched this scene.

It wasn't until Shen Xuan stood up and gave him a look that he suddenly understood something.

As Shen Xuan opened the door to leave, she accidentally bumped into a hard chest.

She looked up and saw the man's ashen face, and suddenly felt a little relieved.

Perhaps her recent experience made her feel vulnerable, and she naturally developed a sense of dependence on familiar people.

They glanced at each other, neither of them spoke first, and then she hurriedly left.

Li Siyuan felt even heavier. He had come all this way, and it was just asking for trouble. It was unbelievable.

After Shen Xuan came downstairs, Madam Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once these people leave, dealing with the mother and child will be a piece of cake.

She walked to the center of the living room, turned her head slightly to look at Mrs. Lu, and said, "I am not a member of the Lu family, so it is not appropriate for me to interfere in your family's affairs. But I still hope that you can do some good deeds and be more tolerant for the sake of your son."

Upon hearing Shen Xuan's words, Madam Lu's expression turned quite unpleasant.

She was naturally embarrassed to be criticized like that by a little girl.

However, out of consideration for face, he forced himself to endure the embarrassment.

The man in the wheelchair beside him, however, seemed to see things very clearly.

I heard from others that their son liked this girl, and after meeting her in person today, he actually approves of her.

The reason they haven't agreed to let them be together is because of her complicated entanglements with the Li family.

Thinking about this, he regretted it again.

If they had agreed to their marriage earlier, perhaps things wouldn't be in this state now.

Shen Xuan's gaze fell on the man in the wheelchair, and she accidentally met his eyes, but was so stung by his cold and arrogant gaze that she quickly looked away.

After that, she left in a hurry without looking back.

As they stepped out of the Lu family's gate, Jiang Yu leaned out of the driver's seat and called out, "Miss Shen is out."

Shen Xuan frowned, and Li Siyuan followed her out.

In the darkness, she stood there wrapped tightly in her coat, her mood somewhat somber.

She couldn't get involved in the Lu family's affairs, nor did she know how to get involved; she just hoped that things could be resolved smoothly.

The man glared at her fiercely, but he couldn't find the right words to rebuke her.

Shen Xuan remained silent, not expecting him to give her a kind look. This was her business, and had nothing to do with him.

"Aren't you feeling pretty smug?"

He stood beside her with one hand in his pocket, and said those words with a cold look in his eyes!

His words made her already heavy mood even more depressed.

She rubbed her forehead and lowered her eyes. "Li Siyuan, I don't want to talk to you about this. Besides, this is my personal matter and has nothing to do with you!"

Under the lamplight, her expression was unusually solemn, her eyes became very sensitive, and it felt as if a large stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

His anger surged instantly, and he came all the way to help her, but she seemed to disregard his offer of assistance.

His expression darkened, and he then roughly shoved her into the car.

With a bang, the car door slammed shut.

"Take her to the hotel to rest."

In the end, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and with a cold expression, he instructed the driver to take her away before heading off alone to another place.

"Boss, aren't you going back to the hotel to rest for a while?" Jiang Yu poked his head out and asked.

In a short while, Li Siyuan draped his suit jacket over his shoulder and left without looking back.

The best way to avoid getting out of control is to stay away from all troubles and not let them affect you.

"Miss Shen, the boss hasn't slept for two days and one night to save you. Why don't you go down and persuade him to get some sleep?"

"You can take him away. I'll just take a taxi and find somewhere to stay."

She was just about to open the door and get out of the car

Jiang Yu quickly stopped her: "Miss Shen, if you leave like this, he will definitely become more agitated. This is not a place we are familiar with. If something happens, I won't be able to explain it."

Looking through the glass at the receding figure, Shen Xuan felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside her.

If he hadn't shown up today, what would her situation be like now?

Thinking about it this way, Shen Xuan felt a little soft-hearted.

“Miss Shen, why don’t you comfort your boss? I can tell he’s really good to you. If you just speak gently, he won’t be angry anymore.”

Shen Xuan rubbed her temples, looking at the lonely figure in front of her, feeling very troubled.

This is clearly a way of throwing a tantrum at her and forcing her to appease him.

She thought that if she took the initiative to talk to him, she would definitely be misunderstood as still having feelings for him.

But she was unwilling to show weakness to him so soon after getting out of trouble.

She hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car and slowly walked forward, her shadow stretching long on the ground.

He sensed someone following him, but he did not turn around immediately.

"Why are you still angry?" She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with confusion.

Under the streetlights, that solitary figure seemed to be the only oddity in the world, exuding an aura of loneliness.

"We're not children anymore. Everyone has to take responsibility for their actions, just like those bygone days that will gradually fade away as we grow up."

He turned his head, half of his cold face facing her, and asked in a resolute voice, "If I weren't here today, and the Lu family wanted to kill you, would you choose to die with them?"

Her gaze immediately dimmed, and there was no longer a trace of emotion in her eyes.

After a long while, she said calmly, "Yes."

In fact, she already had the answer in her heart. She made this decision when she returned the ring to Lu Yuchen, but she just didn't want to tell him to his face.

"Get in the car, it's getting late." He raised his chin and silently accepted her answer.

He left alone without looking back at her.

Jiang Yu then drove up to her, leaned out of the window, and called out, "Miss Shen."

Shen Xuan forced a smile, as if she were mocking herself.

The next morning, she bought her plane ticket back to China early.

After leaving the hotel, I took a car directly to the airport.

Li Siyuan didn't look for her, and he didn't even see Jiang Yu.

Before leaving, she didn't go to say goodbye to them, and silently left the place.

She appeared at Jiangcheng Airport around 5 p.m.

When Guan Chengxin came to pick her up, it was drizzling outside.
