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

Their eyes met, and she noticed a determined glint in his eyes, as if he were waiting for something. A pang of guilt involuntarily rose in her heart, but she quickly suppressed the feeling.

He hasn't bothered her lately, and the distance between them has grown considerably as a result.

"Li Siyuan, if you don't like it, you don't like it. Do I need to keep repeating that fact to you?"

His gaze suddenly turned icy, and he stared at her with unusual seriousness. "Shen Xuan, say it again?"

"I don't love you..."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, he sealed her lips tightly with his own and forced her against the wall, rendering her unable to move.

Despite being restrained, she still stared at him with wide eyes, and when she realized that he had no intention of stopping, she reflexively bit his lip.

Caught off guard, Li Siyuan abruptly released her, his expression immediately darkening.

Shen Xuan looked up at him, feeling very angry. She had thought he had restrained himself, but she hadn't expected him to be so willful and reckless.

He raised his hand and wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb. Although he was angry, he still maintained some restraint when facing her.

A slight smile played on his lips, his muscular frame still imposing on her. "You weren't like this when you begged me last night, were you?"

"What's wrong? You think you can say you don't love me anymore just because you've had your fill? Is it because you didn't get enough satisfaction that you're saying this?"

Hearing his unfazed words, her face turned as red as a shrimp just pulled from a pot, and the events of the previous night flashed through her mind again.

"Li Siyuan, I never blamed you for taking advantage of my vulnerability, but now you're turning around and accusing me. Knowing I was framed, you still dared to do such a thing? Do you think it's honorable to do that?"

Shen Xuan put her hands in her pockets and leaned against the wall, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him, afraid that another glance would evoke the unforgettable scene from last night.

"I wonder who was it yesterday who clung to me tightly, crying and begging me to save her. If I had known you would be so heartless, I really shouldn't have helped you. I should have let you go ask that old man for help!"

He rested his arm to his side, gently playing with her hair with his fingers, and spoke in a calm tone.

Shen Xuan turned to look at him, showing strong aversion to the topic. "Li Siyuan, let's forget what happened last night and never mention it again, okay?"

He lowered his eyes and quietly observed the woman in front of him. When he noticed an indescribable sadness in her eyes, he was deeply moved by her emotions.

"I plan to arrange someone to be your assistant in the next few days to reduce the possibility of accidents. We can't always expect me to arrive at the most dangerous moment to save you, can we? If the same situation happens again, who knows who will be by your side!"

"No need." She pursed her lips, trying her best to hide her inner resistance.

“Sometimes you don’t need another person to be there to help. I hate the feeling of being surrounded by a lot of people.”

Shen Xuan didn't like him arranging for someone to follow him; it felt like being watched, and it made her very uncomfortable.

"Do you want me to be your assistant?" he asked, looking at her seriously.

Shen Xuan: "..."

Seeing that she remained silent, he continued, "Alright, in a few days I will announce that you will be in charge of the Li family's business, and I will be your assistant."

Looking at his half-serious, half-fake expression, Shen Xuan felt a mix of emotions.

"For someone of your status to become my assistant is too high a price to pay. Besides, entrusting your Li family's business to me is giving me far too much credit."

"So, you're saying you're not going to appreciate it?"

"..." Shen Xuan's expression was rather unpleasant.

"I'm not interested in any of this."

After saying this, she glanced at her watch. "I still have some things to take care of at the Shen family company. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

After saying this, she hurriedly walked past him and quickly went downstairs.

Guan Chengxin couldn't pick her up last night, so he'll definitely call Li Siyuan to tell him.

So now Li Siyuan must know that he was tricked when he discussed cooperation with others.

Li Siyuan watched her departing figure, leaning against the wall and gazing at her quietly, a smile in his eyes, feeling quite helpless towards this woman whose words and actions contradicted each other.

Li Shulian, who was downstairs, walked in with a smile on her face, seemingly talking to another wealthy woman.

Just as she hung up the phone, she saw Shen Xuan walking into the living room.

Shen Xuan picked up the backpack from the sofa and exchanged a glance with the person who had just entered.

"Why are you here too?" Li Shulian seemed to be in a good mood and was very friendly when she saw Shen Xuan.

"We're having a party tomorrow night, why don't you come? You can bring your friends along for dinner!"

Shen Xuan looked at the other person with slight hesitation, feeling a little unaccustomed to Li Shulian's sudden change in attitude.

After hesitating for a moment, she replied, "I'm afraid I won't be able to attend tomorrow night..."

Hearing this, Li Shulian smiled and asked, "What's more important than eating?"

At the same time, Li Siyuan walked briskly downstairs. "This is a dinner party to celebrate my mother's birthday. It's being held at the Jiangcheng Hotel. Anyone is welcome to come."

"It depends on the schedule," she replied earnestly, looking at Li Shulian, but without turning to the person behind her who was speaking.

"Don't even mention 'maybe,' please do me the honor of coming!"

"Okay, I'll try my best to attend." With that, he picked up his bag and left.

Thinking about how much Li Shulian's attitude towards her had changed, she felt a mix of emotions.

After leaving the Li residence, Shen Xuan got into the car driven by Guan Chengxin.

"It's good that Miss is safe and sound."

Guan Chengxin gripped the steering wheel and looked at her, feeling a surge of nervousness as he recalled his encounter with Liu Dong last night.

This guy dares to mess with even the people around Li Siyuan; he's practically courting death.

"Don't worry!" she replied while fastening her seatbelt and holding a stack of documents.

His eyes seemed unaffected by what happened last night.

"That Wang Laosan is really ruthless. Luckily, Young Master Li arrived in time to take you away, otherwise it would have been terrible."

He started the car and spoke slowly.

Shen Xuan's eyes suddenly stopped, her gaze fixed on the document, and she casually asked, "So how will President Wang handle this matter?"

"What else can we do? We sent him straight to the detention center and kicked him out of the company, making sure he never sets foot there again. Otherwise, how can we explain this to the Shen and Li families?"

“Mr. Wang is actually a good person, it’s a real pity…” She thought about the Shen family’s cooperation with him over the years and felt that he had always been decisive and efficient in his work.

Unfortunately, he had such a disgraced younger brother who had been in charge of the Liu family business and used the family's money to commit crimes outside.
