He quickly glanced at her a few times, then looked at Lu Shuli behind him, and already understood that Shen Feiyan had come to find him on purpose.

He had no idea when their relationship had become so intimate.

Not long after Shen Xuan returned to the private room, she received a call from Li Siyuan.

She glanced at it, turned off her phone, and stuffed it into her bag.

It wasn't until after the event ended and they got into the car that Cheng Lu asked her with concern, "You seem a little off?"

She leaned back in her seat and said with an unusually calm expression, "It's nothing!"

"I'm not going back to the Shen family today, Xiaolu. I'll stay at your place for the night. We haven't had a proper chat in a long time."

Cheng Lu didn't ask too many questions, nodded and said, "Sure, would I refuse?"

She could tell that Shen Xuan was a little upset again.

Over the years, she had long since gotten used to coming to her to complain whenever she was mistreated in the Li family.

She wondered why she would suddenly come looking for her unless something had happened.

But I don't know what caused this little emotional outburst.

Shen Xuan stopped talking and just leaned there wearily.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Siyuan will definitely go to the Shen family to confront her.

She didn't want to see him, especially after what happened yesterday and the argument today; she wanted nothing more to do with him.

The car was parked downstairs at the apartment building, and the two women went inside together.

Standing at the door, she couldn't help but glance at the tightly closed door next to her, feeling a little uneasy.

A short while later, Cheng Lu had already turned on the lights in the living room.

She casually tossed her car keys onto the shoe cabinet by the door, crossed her arms, and then asked Shen Xuan, "So, what happened this time?"

Shen Xuan glanced at her, knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, and confessed, "You know, Li Siyuan keeps bothering me, and he'll probably come to the Shen family to find me again. I'll just stay here for a couple of days and go back when he stops bothering me."

"Haven't he toned it down a lot since you two came back? Why is he suddenly chasing after you like this!"

Cheng Lu asked, puzzled.

Shen Xuan found it difficult to talk about, but she still told Cheng Lu what happened yesterday, which surprised Cheng Lu greatly.

"You were drugged?" Cheng Lu jumped up from the sofa.

"Does that guy Li Siyuan have any...?"

"No!" she retorted without even thinking.

No matter what happened, she was unwilling to admit it or let others know.

Although she was unconscious at the time and did not know the details, she could not accept Li Siyuan's actions.

"Okay, okay, that's good!" Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down on the sofa.

Shen Xuan rubbed his forehead and suddenly said seriously, "Xiao Lu, do you have any wine?"

"..." Cheng Lu was speechless.

The next day, the living room was a mess, with things scattered on the coffee table and sofa.

The two girls were lying haphazardly on the sofa. Cheng Lu was sitting on the floor with her head resting on the sofa, while Shen Xuan was lying down with one foot on the ground.

Both of them were completely drunk and unconscious.

"Cheers, keep drinking!" Cheng Lu muttered to herself, still holding the bottle in her hand.

"Xiaolu, give me some wine! We're not leaving until we're drunk!"

Shen Xuan lay on the sofa, her hair covering her entire face, looking very dejected.

The cell phone on the coffee table kept ringing. Cheng Lu looked up groggily and fumbled around.

On the coffee table, Cheng Lu's phone screen displayed the name "Yin Xuan".

"Xiaoxuan, it's time to go to work." She fumbled for her phone for a while but couldn't find it until the ringing stopped.

She lay there and continued sleeping.

Yin Xuan lingered at the door for a long time, but Cheng Lu didn't answer the phone. In the end, he simply used the spare key to open the door and go in.

He was stunned by the sight before him as soon as he entered.

The two girls were completely drunk, sleeping in all sorts of strange positions, with empty cans and bottles scattered all over the sofa, making the whole scene a complete mess.

He frowned, his gaze suddenly shifting to the two girls, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

"What's going on?"

After a while, he walked over, looked at the two of them, and then nudged Cheng Lu's shoulder: "Wake up! Have you forgotten what you were supposed to do today?"

After calling for a long time, Cheng Lu still did not respond.

Seeing that she showed no signs of waking up, he had no choice but to carry her to the room.

Then he went back to the living room, sat on the sofa, and called out, "Xiao Xuan!"

His gaze was fixed on her, and his fingers brushed the strands of hair from her face.

Looking at her rosy face lying there quietly, his hand involuntarily reached out and stroked her soft cheek.

Shen Xuan felt uncomfortable and pushed his hand away, muttering, "Stop messing around, stay away from me."

Then she turned over, using her arm as a pillow, and lay there quietly.

Seeing her resistant expression, he awkwardly withdrew his hand, realizing his lapse in composure.

He sighed helplessly, noticed Cheng Lu's phone, and picked it up to take a look.

He gently picked up Shen Xuan and placed her on the bed in the room, together with Cheng Lu.

He didn't stay in the apartment for long; he just tidied up the living room a little and then left.

We had planned to visit a newly opened company together today.

Seeing Cheng Lu's current state, he knew he couldn't wake her up anytime soon, so he had to postpone the company's schedule.

When Li Siyuan left Peng Yanzhou's house, he heard his assistant report that Shen Xuan had not returned to the Shen family last night and had not gone to work today.

He suddenly stopped, turned to look at his assistant, and asked with great surprise, "She didn't go home?"

"Yes," the assistant replied affirmatively.

Not far from Peng Yanzhou's house, Li Siyuan's car was parked there, while he himself stood on the road between the door and the car.

"She's avoiding me again."

He adjusted his watch and continued walking out, expressionless.

She didn't answer his call yesterday, and he guessed that she might be angry because of Han Xin, which once again completely destroyed the goodwill he had worked so hard to build up towards her.

The assistant following behind him added, "The Li family just called. The old lady asked when you're going back."

Li Siyuan had already stepped one foot into the car. Upon hearing this, he stiffened for a moment before fully entering the car and said in a deep voice, "I'll go back after Xinxin leaves."

The assistant asked with some surprise, "Tonight is the old lady's birthday banquet. Are you really not planning to attend, sir?"

Li Siyuan pursed his lips, thinking that since Shen Xuan didn't want to go with him, there was no point in him going alone.

Besides, I also have to face Han Xin, so I really can't muster the energy.

"I won't go. Just have a few more people set up the venue. I have some things to do at the company. Can you take me there?"

He lazily crossed his legs, rested his arm on the car window, and propped his face up with his hand, looking somewhat tired. He rubbed his temples with his fingers.

The assistant didn't say anything more, but seeing Li Siyuan trying his best to avoid meeting Han Xin, coupled with his persistent attitude towards Shen Xuan, he couldn't help but think, "He's worse than an animal."
