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

“…” Shen Xuan rolled her eyes at him.

Does he really see me as his older brother?

But when did he start wanting to be her brother?

Was it just a sudden whim?

"You're already so old, and you still call me 'brother'? Aren't you taking advantage of me?"

"I don't mind that you're too young, so please don't criticize me for being old. Besides, I never said I wanted to marry you, so how can this be considered age discrimination?"

“…” She was speechless.

"I can't call you that."

After composing herself, she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"Since it's a bet, you should accept your fate."

As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled slightly at her, looking as if he were truly taking care of her like a younger sister.

Shen Xuan: "..."

Immediately afterwards, another message popped up.

He pointed to the phone on the screen and said, "Looks like you two might have made up."

"Absolutely not, I have no feelings for him anymore."

She spoke softly, pressing her hand firmly against the phone to keep it from making a sound.

"Why don't you just tell him to stop bothering you? Just say you don't like him and don't let him come looking for you again."

"He definitely won't believe me..."

"The one who truly doesn't believe in their own heart is you, not the other person. I see right through your true feelings; do you think he still can't see it?"

He spoke to her very seriously.

"How did you end up siding with him? Did you receive any benefits from Li Siyuan?"

"I was just stating a simple fact."

His words felt like another knife to her heart.

Biting her lower lip, Shen Xuan felt involuntarily irritated as she thought about Li Siyuan's entanglements.

"Can you leave now? I want to be alone for a while."

"Row."

Guan Chengxin nodded in agreement and pointed to the documents he had just given her: "Take a look when you have a chance."

"Okay, I understand. You can leave now." She waved for him to go.

Guan Chengxin frowned deeply, seemingly confused, and took back what he was about to say.

Then he left the office.

At the same time, Li Siyuan sent a message: "Can I come find you now?"

Five minutes later, he sent another message: "If you don't reply, I'll take it as a yes. I'm coming over now."

Sitting there, Shen Xuan stared blankly at the chat history on the screen, her mind a complete mess.

He has always been like this, with an extremely strong desire for control yet an indifferent attitude, which seems to have never changed.

Half an hour later, Li Siyuan suddenly appeared in her office.

His appearance made the people in Shen's company feel somewhat nervous.

While reviewing the documents, Shen Xuan secretly glanced at Li Siyuan, who was sitting by the French windows, and saw him reading a financial magazine, which made her feel a little awkward.

She couldn't explain where this inexplicable feeling came from.

Even if he doesn't say a word, she feels unable to work properly and cannot adapt to this way of being together, as long as he is by her side.

“Xin Xin is back, aren’t you going to pick her up?” After thinking for a moment, Shen Xuan broke the silence.

"what?"

Li Siyuan looked up at her, his brows furrowed, still flipping through the magazine pages. "Is it appropriate for me to bring someone else's wife home?"

"But she brought your child back with her. You have to acknowledge that blood relationship whether you want to or not, right?"

Shen Xuan calmly browsed the report in her hand, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Li Siyuan's eyes widened for a moment, his expression showing some hesitation, but he clearly did not intend to change his mind.

“I’ve already said I will give an explanation to them, mother and daughter. Besides, Xin Xin has already married someone else. Do you think you should still hold this against her?”

"What if she asks you for a formal title? Would you agree?"

Li Siyuan's hand visibly paused for a moment, then he looked up at her and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

The sunlight shone on his face, but it gave him an even colder feeling.

Shen Xuan lightly tapped her nose with her pen, looking directly at him. "I was just hypothesizing a possibility, why are you so sensitive?"

"There's no point in hypotheticals, and we can't let her disturb our lives again."

Li Siyuan slammed the magazine shut in a huff, staring intently at her, his tone full of annoyance, "I've already said, she's already married, so stop worrying about this."

Shen Xuan smiled indifferently, but inwardly he couldn't help but feel bitter. It seemed he still didn't understand women's thoughts.

"Please leave. I still need to work. With you here, I can't concentrate on my work!"

This was the truth, because she genuinely disliked the oppressive feeling of having someone around.

"Shen Xuan!"

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan suddenly stood up, his silver suit seemingly bathed in a radiant glow.

She looked up at him, and in an instant, his massive body was right in front of her, his expression turning quite serious.

"There are many ways to make someone sad, why did they have to treat me this way?"

He placed his hands on the edge of the desk, his gaze sharp. "Look at your eyes now... they're like an abyss in the night, hiding unknown dangers."

Trying to remain calm, Shen Xuan put her hands together, rested her chin on her hand, and said softly, "I'm serious. As long as you're here, I can't concentrate. You know I need a quiet working environment."

He gritted his teeth, his anger subsided slightly, and he picked up all the documents and materials on the table and put them away!

"What are you doing?" she asked, looking at the scene before her with a puzzled expression.

He took a few more steps and returned to his original spot, taking the pen from her hand as he did so.

Li Siyuan sat down on the sofa and casually tossed the documents onto the coffee table.

Shen Xuan remained in the same position, except that her right hand, which had been resting flat on the table, was now clenched into a fist.

"Are you really able to understand Shen's documents?"

Seeing that focused look, I felt both amused and helpless. When will this strong desire to control end?

He didn't answer her question, but just sat there silently for a while before standing up.

Almost at the same moment, someone grabbed her arm like a chick.

"The coffee table is too low; it's uncomfortable to bend over."

After saying that, the man casually dragged her away, then sat down in her seat and began to carefully review her documents.

She was standing next to him and was about to drink some water when she almost couldn't hold it in and spat it out.

He barely even glanced at the document before quickly signing his name on it; his efficiency was astonishing.

"Li Siyuan, you..."

Seeing her surprised expression, he interrupted her, "My signature isn't good enough? It can make you look good, show our relationship, and help you handle things. You can just take any one of these to a negotiation, there's no need to say anything more."

Shen Xuan pressed her lips together, finally realizing that he had feelings for her, although she found his arrogant manner somewhat hard to accept.

But now, not only does the Li family and Jiangcheng belong to him, but she herself and the entire Shen family are also treated as his personal possessions...
