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

Shen Xuan knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he honestly confessed, "It was Li Siyuan who called. I don't know why he helped me with this."

Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, I see. I thought you were trying to hook up with a rich second-generation guy to help me. Actually, he was helping you out of concern for you, silly girl."

Shen Xuan was somewhat amused and exasperated, but said nothing.

"Thank you. The studio can finally continue operating. From now on, this is our territory. I'll take out a portion of it as your investment. We'll split the profits, and the rest we'll pay back to Li Siyuan slowly in the future."

"Okay!" She nodded heavily, a huge weight lifted from her heart.

Considering that Li Siyuan seems to have quieted down a lot recently and has stopped pestering her, he must really be planning to let her off the hook.

But if he wanted to let her go, why did he step in to help her out?

"And who exactly paid that extra 30 million?"

Cheng Lu casually mentioned it and opened an email.

Shen Xuan glanced at it from the side and memorized the email address.

A simple combination of numbers made her feel like she'd heard it somewhere before...

In a banquet hall in Jiangcheng, Peng Yanzhou turned down all social activities and booked a private room to sit and drink with Li Siyuan.

"You don't look well. Have you run into something bothering you again?"

As he spoke, Peng Yanzhou poured himself a glass of wine and clinked it against Li Siyuan's glass.

He was used to seeing Li Siyuan come here with such an expression and emotions every time.

"Nothing serious, I'm just feeling really down and want to find someone to have a couple of drinks with."

He picked up his cup, lightly clinked it against the other person's, and downed it in one gulp, finishing three cups in a row.

Peng Yanzhou frowned, not in a hurry to drink his own wine.

"Dude, I get it now. You're planning to drown your sorrows in alcohol rather than have a couple of drinks with your friends to relax, aren't you?"

Peng Yanzhou put down the wine he had raised but hadn't yet tasted, put his legs on the coffee table, and tapped his thigh with his fingers as he spoke.

"Is it still because of Shen Xuan?" he asked tentatively.

It seemed that nothing else could make Li Siyuan so dejected except for her!

Li Siyuan remained silent, only lowering his head to gulp down his wine.

Seeing this, Peng Yanzhou continued, "I told you before, forcing someone to change their mind won't end well. You have to give them some space. Pushing them too hard will only make them more resentful."

Li Siyuan held up his wine glass, his eyes fixed on the rim, a dangerous glint in his narrow eyes.

“She made it very clear that she wanted to live and die with him, and in her eyes I was a thing of the past. But I’m not reconciled. She used to be so affectionate towards me, so why doesn’t she love me anymore?”

Peng Yanzhou: "Didn't I tell you long ago that once a woman's heart is broken, she won't turn back? It's no use for you to keep pushing her like this. After all, you're not the one who's suffering, so you can stand on the moral high ground and criticize her."

"Brother, I've already said the same things many times, and I don't want to bring them up again. Saying too much will only make you unhappy and affect our brotherhood."

Peng Yanzhou poured himself another glass of wine, clinked glasses with Li Siyuan, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Li Siyuan scratched his chin, carefully considering his words.

After seeing Lu Yuchen, Shen Xuan seemed to have put many worries aside and became much more energetic.

He guessed that she might have given up on that man, which was why she had become so at peace with him.

Is there any chance for them to get back together?

As he thought about it, he suddenly sighed and said, "It's time to end this."

"..." Peng Yanzhou looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Outside the door, Yan Anxun leaned against the wall, scanning the people inside.

Li Siyuan turned his head to him, and although his eyes were not looking in his direction, Yan Anxun felt that the man's expression was not very friendly.

"You've arrived?" Peng Yanzhou broke the silence first.

He didn't invite the other person over today; Yan Anxun usually invites him for drinks in this way, appearing without warning.

Seeing Li Siyuan's displeased expression, Yan Anxun turned to Peng Yanzhou and said, "I was just bored, so I came here to have some fun. I heard you guys were here, so I came to check it out."

Peng Yanzhou thought to himself: I'm not a girl, what fun things could I possibly have to do with you?

He looked up at Yan Anxun, then at Li Siyuan, and noticed that both of them seemed a little stiff.

Li Siyuan straightened his suit, stood up, and said, "I have something to attend to, I'll be leaving now."

This immediately ignited Yan Anxun's anger. "Li Siyuan, what do you mean? What did I do to offend you? Why are you giving me this attitude?"

He stopped, tugged at his tie, and glanced at the other person impatiently.

"Yan Anxun, I just invested 20 million in Cheng Lu's company. You're not allowed to touch my investment. You can do whatever you want with the rest; it's none of my business. I don't want to lose money."

Upon hearing this, Yan Anxun raised the corners of his mouth in a sarcastic smile.

I never imagined that someone would go so far as to protect another man's wife just to safeguard their own money!

Actually, he had already gotten bored and was planning to give up on pursuing Cheng Lu's company.

I never expected Li Siyuan to get involved; it was truly unexpected!

Seeing through his change in expression, Yan Anxun mocked again, "Li Siyuan, how can you even be interested in someone like Cheng Lu?"

"what are you saying?"

Li Siyuan's face was ashen, and he questioned the other party in an icy tone, his eyes fixed on him with a sharp edge.

The dazzling lights reflected on his somber face, suddenly adding an air of mystery.

"Isn't that right? They're so generous, investing twenty million right away. Isn't it because they've got designs on them?"

Yan Anxun walked into the room, pretending to be calm, and lay down lazily on the small sofa, casually glancing at the man in the mirror.

Li Siyuan straightened the buttons on his cuffs, completely ignoring the nonchalant look on his face beside him.

"I think Cheng Lu is pretty good, so I changed my mind. Since Shen Xuan has decided to leave me and run off with someone else, then I'll go after Cheng Lu. I don't care about feelings; I just want to have some fun."

Having witnessed Li Siyuan's utter obedience to Shen Xuan, this change was indeed unexpected for Yan Anxun.

In the blink of an eye, Li Siyuan was gone.

As Yan Anxun watched his departing figure, he suddenly called out, "Li Siyuan, are you telling the truth?"

Shen Xuan walked out of the conference room with documents in her hand, dressed in a simple and neat manner, showing her capable side.

"Miss, the bidding for that plot of land in the West District will begin tonight. I've compiled some information for you; please take a look."

Guan Chengxin said respectfully from the side.

Shen Xuan took the documents handed to him and glanced at them.

Which companies are bidding tonight?

"Besides our company, there are three others."

"Hmm, I'll study it for a while." She glanced at the materials in her hand, answered, and went into the office.
