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

"..." Li Siyuan looked at him helplessly.

“If I want her to take her medicine, I don’t need you to come; I can handle it myself.”

Peng Yanzhou was taken aback for a moment: "That's right, you're such a persistent person when it comes to her, isn't this a perfect opportunity? Why did you still ask me to come?"

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong with Li Siyuan.

This person has been a villain for so long, and suddenly wanting to turn over a new leaf is something he finds hard to accept.

"Don't be ridiculous."

Li Siyuan immediately saw through his implied meaning and asked directly, "How long will it take for her condition to improve?"

"He'll wake up naturally tomorrow when the effects of the medicine wear off. Of course, there are faster ways!"

Before Peng Yanzhou could finish speaking, Li Siyuan had already understood his intention.

"Alright, I understand. You can go back now!"

His tone was very relaxed, as if he didn't care at all about the woman lying in bed.

Peng Yanzhou pressed on, "Li Siyuan, are you really planning to let go like this? You won't keep bothering her anymore? What, you don't like her anymore?"

"Liking someone doesn't mean you have to possess them. The same goes for love."

As he spoke, he unbuttoned the cuff on his other wrist, his expression calm as if he had seen through everything.

Thinking of Shen Xuan's words that she would die with Lu Yuchen, he felt even more depressed.

“What you’re saying doesn’t sound like you at all,” Peng Yanzhou said, skeptical of his attitude.

"Ever since Shen Xuan went abroad to find that person, you seem to have become much more open-minded."

Li Siyuan glanced at him indifferently: "Perhaps she is right. We must take responsibility for our actions, and her current cold attitude towards me is the best punishment for my past behavior, because I have become a burden in her life."

When his gaze fell on the familiar figure on the bed again, his eyes were filled with complex emotions, as if he wanted to erase their past.

Peng Yanzhou fell silent, feeling that Li Siyuan was completely different from before.

It must be said that Shen Xuan was the one who changed him.

It turns out that emotions do indeed have the power to change a person's nature.

Li Siyuan's change is not only reflected in his personality, but more importantly in the guilt he feels for repeatedly hurting Shen Xuan.

It was quite surprising to see him show such a calm attitude towards this relationship.

After tidying up, Peng Yanzhou picked up his medical kit and left the room.

Li Siyuan saw him off and then returned to his bedroom.

Shen Xuan remained lying quietly on the bed, her whole body burning with unbearable heat.

He stared for a while, his brows furrowed with melancholy.

She was talking in her dream, wearing a thin nightgown that belonged to Li Siyuan, and she was constantly sweating.

Upon closer inspection, I reached out and touched her forehead; it was still very hot. So I picked up a towel that was prepared nearby and began to wipe it for her.

"Don't go, don't leave me!"

Just as he turned around to change to a new wet cloth, he heard Shen Xuan grab his wrist tightly.

"Don't leave me!" she repeated.

He immediately stopped, a special emotion in his eyes, feeling as if she were his last straw, clinging to him so tightly.

"Please stay here and don't leave again, Si Yuan."

Li Siyuan turned to look at the woman by the bed. After hearing her call his name clearly, he suddenly felt a great sense of relief.

"Shen Xuan, say it again?"

He returned to her side, leaned down and stared at her, his expression shifting unpredictably.

Her plea touched his heartstrings, causing his long-calm heart to stir once more.

Shen Xuan kept her eyes closed, muttering to herself, while one hand still firmly gripped Li Siyuan's wrist, refusing to let go.

"Si Yuan, I'm not feeling well," she whispered again.

At that moment, nothing else mattered. Li Siyuan forcefully threw the wet towel in his hand aside.

Then he loosened his tie, revealing his chest beneath his white shirt, lifted the blanket covering Shen Xuan, and crawled straight into bed.

the next day.

She opened her eyes groggily, her head throbbing terribly, and involuntarily touched her forehead.

Looking around, she couldn't find the person in the bedroom. She was still wearing ill-fitting pajamas, her face was as pale as paper, and her hands and feet felt weak.

She gave a soft hum and gently pressed her temples with her hand.

After a while, seemingly getting used to the feeling, she slowly got up, put on yesterday's clothes, and left the bedroom.

"Are you awake?"

As soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, she was blocked at a corner of the stairs, just a few steps from the bedroom.

She was startled, quickly looked up at him, and noticed that his gaze was a little strange.

"What are you going to do again?"

She leaned there nervously and asked firmly, a hint of anxiety flashing across her face as she recalled being tricked last night.

She had no idea what embarrassing things she had done while she was unconscious, which gave him the opportunity to laugh at her.

He suddenly reached out and pressed his hand against the wall, blocking her way. "I did save you, can't you at least say thank you?"

"Thank you!" she said softly, avoiding his burning eyes.

Speak louder, I didn't hear you!

He rested his elbow on her shoulder and leaned his face closer.

Shen Xuan clenched her hands, bit her lower lip, and raised her voice: "Thank you!"

"About yesterday..." He paused, glancing at her sideways.

Shen Xuan hurriedly rubbed her forehead and interrupted, "Nothing happened yesterday. Even if something did happen, it's all in the past. Li Siyuan, thank you for saving me again, but I think we should go our separate ways."

These resolute words made him feel extremely bad.

He hadn't even asked a question before she rejected him like that?

He didn't believe that she truly had no feelings for him at all.

Last night, she called out her own name in a half-asleep state, which is enough to show that she still cares about herself deep down.

Seeing her deliberately evasive gaze and concealing expression, he looked at her again and realized that she was running away.

"Shen Xuan, is there really no chance for us to start over? Even if we ignore everything that happened before, are you absolutely unwilling to give me a chance?"

“It’s no longer possible,” she said almost without thinking.

Watching her stand with her head down, leaning against the wall, hands in her pockets, uttering such resolute words.

He reached out and lifted her chin, asking firmly yet gently, "Look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't care about me at all."

Meeting those aloof and indifferent eyes, her heart instantly tightened.

She was caught off guard by his sudden question and became flustered.

Shen Xuan replied, "I think I made myself clear to you last time that I will no longer like you."

He interrupted her urgently: "Don't talk about the past, just tell me how you feel now!"
