      CHAPTER 1 - AMOROUS PEACH BLOSSOM EYE

      goblets, crystal lamps, champagne beauties, guests toasting each other, laughter and chatter …

      Shen Xiran's curvy body leaned on the railing, holding a wine cup, he stood leisurely by Shangguan Zhe's side, looking down at the brightly lit scene with a calm appearance.

      After a long while, her bright red, full lips slightly opened, and her voice was lazy. You actually managed the family quite well … As expected, Shangguan Family's network was not what it used to be. I'm afraid that there will be quite a few big shots this time, right?

      Shangguan Zhe slightly nodded, Indeed, it is slightly different from five years ago.

      You're being modest. Shen Xiran laughed and muttered to himself in an extremely slow voice, However, time passes really quickly. It's been five years … I'm finally back.

      As she spoke, her eyes narrowed, and a strong undercurrent began to surge within her ink-black eyes.

      Five years of time, it was enough to turn a young girl into a queen, and it could also make a heart full of holes become ancient.

      Shangguan Zhe thought back to her experience, and a trace of love flashed past his heart. His large hand stretched out wanting to stroke her shoulder, but in the end stopped in mid-air, and he said indifferently, I don't think it's fast.

      Shen Xiran took a sip of the red wine but did not reply. The corner of her mouth curved up in an arc, his red nails occasionally tapping on the railing, You said, it's so lively, then he … Will he come? "

      He …

      Shen Xiran lowered his head and swirled the dark red liquid in his cup, as an image of a man's shockingly beautiful face appeared in his mind. That pair of peach blossom eyes, even in rage, was beautiful to the point of intoxicating.

      After so many years, I wonder if he's doing well?

      Shen Xiran exerted some strength into the cup in his hand, and his fingertips turned white. The red wine hung on the wall like a thin veil.

      God bless him, he must be able to live a peaceful life, and everything would go according to his wishes.

      Because only then would she have the chance to take away everything he cared about, to throw him down from the high clouds and look at his eyes filled with despair and pain …

      Shen Xiran raised his head and drank the last mouthful of wine.

      She would give him back what he had given her, ten or a hundred times.

      At the same time, in the Cloud Night Group Building, the scene of people working overtime was everywhere.

      Si Lianye was dressed neatly as she stood on the balcony, her hands clasped behind her back. Her sculpted facial features were distinct, and beneath her sword-like eyebrows, she had a pair of long, narrow, and sentimental eyes. However, the light in those eyes was too bright to look at.

      The cell phone's screen was still lit.

      Just now, he had received a report from the front saying that the person had appeared at Shangguan Family's banquet.

      Her heart began to contract violently, and her blood began to spread throughout her body like a tidal wave. Si Lianye slowly raised her hand to her chest, as if she couldn't believe the news she just received.

      It's been so many years … She had finally returned!

      Time was of the essence, Si Lianye immediately called the assistant from the inside, Today's meeting is cancelled.

      The assistant turned pale with fright, But CEO, you've been preparing for this meeting for so long …

      If I say cancel, then cancel. Si Lianye's voice was cold, like spring water in April, ice shards still floated on top of it, Also, immediately get me an invitation to the Shangguan Family's banquet, I want to go... Yes, I will."

      Si Lianye walked into the lobby with one hand in her pants, followed by the irrepressible screams of the female guests.

      He ignored them, raised his hawk eyes, looked around the place, and immediately saw the lady standing beside Shangguan Zhe from the crowd of guests.

      At this moment, she had a graceful smile on her face as she held a glass of red wine and was talking to someone else.

      Shen Xiran.

      Si Lianye closed her eyes, and recited her name in her heart. It really was her.

      However, a hint of sickness could be seen in her white eyes as she reminded him that she was no longer the same as before.

      The smile that had never left his dream all these years suddenly became so close to his hand that it felt like an illusion.

      Si Lianye restrained her inner emotions and forced out a polite smile. He picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and ambled over to them, offering her a toast. Long time no see, Xi Ran. How have you been?

      Shangguan Zhe noticed his approach and his eyes turned cold. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shen Xiran with a raise of his hand.

      She glanced up and down at the man in front of her.

      Time had hardly left a mark on his face, and he was still as beautiful as he had been when she left.

      This man had robbed her of everything she had cherished in her life, and now he was able to unabashedly say, How have you been?

      Shen Xiran clicked his tongue and took a sip of the wine. The light of the liquid made his red lips look even more bewitching. She shook his head and ridiculed in a mocking tone, Are you all right? Division really doesn't have a conscience after all.

      That light and relaxed tone caused Si Lianye's face to turn pale white.

      Are you all right? From the moment he made that decision, she would not be safe.

      Looking at her calm and peaceful eyes, Si Lianye, whose tongue was like a lotus flower on the market, suddenly didn't know how to respond. He actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, wanted to know if she was doing well, wanted to know …

      His thoughts were all over the place, but in the end he only set the goblet on the table, leaned forward slightly, and extended his hand in a gentle gesture. Would you like to dance, young lady?

      This scene was as though they had seen it for the first time.

      Shen Xiran raised his phoenix eyes slightly, looking extremely alluring.

      After a long time, she slowly hooked a smile that captivated one's soul, and her delicate hand rested on the back of his hand. Division is extremely pleased with your invitation.

      The slow blues blues sounded and the two of them slid onto the dance floor.

      After not seeing each other for so many years, the coordination of their steps seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. It was truly ironic. Shen Xiran looked at his lips, then lowered his eyes to hide the chill within.

      All these years, Si Lianye stared at the small face that was becoming sharper and sharper, trying to make her voice calm, How have you been?

      Didn't Division see it? Shen Xiran sneered in his heart, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, Just barely.

      Si Lianye did not answer.

      Why, I'm not looking for death like five years ago, she whispered to him in a low voice. Division was surprised?

      This action was very intimate, and to others, it seemed to be the whisper of a love affair. However, the coldness and hostility in his words were clearly transmitted to his mind through his eardrums.

      Si Lianye pursed her lips and stared at her, You won't die.

      As she spoke, she exerted her strength, causing her waist to spin.

      Shen Xiran reacted quickly and caught up with his footsteps. He opened his arms and a flower appeared on his fingertips. She deliberately took a step forward so that there was no gap between them.

      He stood on his tiptoes and breathed beside his ear like an orchid, With the blessings of Division … Of course I won't die.

      He only touched it once, then immediately left. Shen Xiran noticed a flash of astonishment in his eyes, and disdain rose in his heart.

      Of course she wouldn't die … Not only that, she even prepared more surprises for him.

      There were many women in the dance floor, and all of them were rubbing their shoulders. Many of them were looking in this direction with envy and jealousy.

      Si Lianye executed a dance step, cleverly protecting Shen Xiran from the crowd's attacks. Lowering her head, her lips lightly touched her crystal jade earlobes, You changed.

      A warm breath caressed her ear, and her body habitually trembled a little, but her heart didn't waver in the slightest.

      CHAPTER 2 - LAUGHING LIKE A FLOWER

      What is Division saying? Shen Xiran changed the position of his hand that was holding onto his shoulder, and changed it to a smile that was not a smile, People change their ways. Even cats and dogs know to be a good boy after getting hurt, let alone a human.

      You … Hearing the voice that seemed to be thousands of miles away, Si Lianye sighed, and a question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time was finally raised to the surface, Do you still love me?

      The two's dance continued, but Shen Xiran's speed was not affected at all by this question.

      Oh, love? Every word she said carried a bone-chilling chill. Let me think … Didn't love take me away with you when you forced me onto the operating table and took my kidney? "

      As expected, you still hate me. Si Lianye closed her eyes, At that time...

      Division thinks that I shouldn't hate him? Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted without any hesitation. Shen Xiran's eyes revealed a cold smile, Could it be that I should still be grateful for your kindness?

      Si Lianye held onto her slender waist and used quite a bit of strength in her big hands, Don't talk to me in such a manner.

      Although they had just reunited, what surprised him was that her feelings for her came so quickly and so strongly that they were completely out of his control.

      He could not bear her speaking to him in such a tone. There was only one thought in her head, and that was to tear that bad memory from her mind and make her smile again and call his name softly.

      Hearing this, a smile suddenly blossomed on Shen Xiran's face. What attitude does Division want? I can feign it for you to see.

      Si Lianye was a little agitated and pretended not to hear it.

      She was clearly smiling, but he knew that this smile was very hypocritical.

      What was even more hateful was that even though he knew it was just a reflection of the moon, he couldn't bear to destroy it.

      The rhythm of the music sped up as Si Lianye's footsteps quickened. Her palm pressed against her stomach as she whispered, Then, where are our children?

      In this position, there had once been a child of theirs, but in the end, he had no fate to meet them.

      He wanted to know where the child was. After all, it might be the only thing that mattered to them.

      Child? As if he had heard something interesting, Shen Xiran's fingertips brushed against his chin as if he was lost in thought.

      Just when Si Lianye thought that she was about to answer, she instead turned around and distanced herself from him. Her soft whisper transmitted into his ears through the loud music and even carried a trace of a light smile, Guess.

      Her seductive red lips, coupled with the swaying light, were even more alluring. Si Lianye suddenly didn't know how to express her thoughts with words. With a jolt of her mind, she immediately pulled her back. Her hand wrapped around the back of her head and his lips were about to press down —

      The man in his hand was like a nimble fish. His two soft petals slipped away from his hands before they could even touch.

      Shen Xiran stood still and panted a little, but did not forget to mock them, Who would have thought that after all these years, Division will still talk to everyone.

      Si Lianye wanted to refute her, but when she noticed that her face was even paler than before, a bad feeling suddenly flashed through her heart.

      What's the matter with you? he asked, reaching out to support her, but was overtaken by the other hand.

      Then, an unfamiliar woman was forced into his arms.

      Shangguan Zhe held Shen Xiran's waist tightly, allowing her to borrow strength and place weight onto his body without leaving a trace, yet his words were directed at Si Lianye, Xi Ran is my good friend from the past. Now that we have finally reunited, I do not want to be dominated by the Division for that long. Now it's time for you to come back.

      Shen Xiran leaned into the wide embrace, raised his head to look at the man with the cold face, and lightly pinched his forearm, expressing his gratitude silently.

      Although it was just a simple ballroom dance, with her weak physique, it still took away a large amount of her physical strength.

      If he were to continue with Si Lianye, it probably wouldn't be long before he would be able to see through everything.

      When Si Lianye heard the clearly hostile words, her sword-like eyebrows knitted together, Xilan was clearly me …

      The rest of the words choked in his throat.

      Who was she to him? What status and position should the current him have to say such words?

      While Si Lianye was stunned, Shangguan Zhe had already indifferently turned his head around, held Shen Xiran's hand, and walked deeper into the crowd.

      Do you want some medicine? After walking for a long distance, Si Lianye's figure finally left their line of sight. Only then did Shangguan Zhe stop, and she couldn't help but reveal a concerned expression.

      No. Shen Xiran covered his chest with one hand, smoothed out his breathing, and stubbornly shook his head, I can hold on until the end of the song.

      Shangguan Zhe knew her personality and knew that no one could be more stubborn than her when he decided on something. After thinking about it for a few seconds, she finally gave in and said, Alright, once this song ends, go and take your medicine.

      The music had changed to a slow rhythm as he had instructed. The two of them shook their bodies slowly, neither of them speaking.

      Even so, when the music stopped, Shen Xiran still felt that his strength was insufficient.

      Cold sweat poured down her back. She took a few deep breaths before the feeling of lack of oxygen eased a little. He casually greeted Shangguan Zhe, I'm going to the guest room.

      Seeing that she was in such a bad state, Shangguan Zhe couldn't help but take a step forward, Let me accompany you.

      I can do it alone. Shen Xiran slightly frowned, his voice wasn't loud, but his attitude was firm, It's good that you stay here and entertain guests.

      After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked up the stairs.

      Her progress was not considered smooth. With some difficulty, she climbed up the last flight of stairs. Lowering her head, she found the key card in her hand. When she looked up, she saw a tall and straight figure standing at the corner.

      The figure moved slowly toward her, its beautiful face outlined against the light.

      Si Lianye.

      Shen Xiran's heart was preoccupied with the matter of taking the medicine, and now that he was blocked by this person, he naturally could not be bothered to put on a good tone and expression, and asked: What's the matter?

      Si Lianye stared at her without blinking, her black eyes revealing a look of love. He reached out to touch her hair, then stopped, her fingers curled awkwardly against his palm.

      There's no need for Division to worry. Shen Xiran did not look at him, he lowered his head and pushed him to the side, Move aside.

      Si Lianye's body stood unmoving.

      Shen Xiran exerted all his strength on his hand, and more cold sweat flowed down. His eyes suddenly became dizzy, but it still did not have any effect. Anger welled up from his back. Are you going to let me go?

      Si Lianye did not answer, but her posture was enough to explain everything.

      If you don't take the pill now …

      Shen Xiran squinted his eyes. In a split-second, he had already made up his mind. He exerted force with his pointed high heels and stepped on's shiny leather shoes with all his might!

      Si Lianye did not expect her to do this. He saw that she had already ran to the end of the corridor and opened the door to enter.

      When he arrived, his fingers had just touched the door that slammed shut.

      He used all his strength to lock the door. Even though he knew he didn't have a room key, he still locked the door twice.

      Shen Xiran pressed his back against the door and tried to take deep breaths several times before finally being able to see.

      Damn it … He had almost done something bad.

      CHAPTER 3 - EYEBROW POWDER

      Her long, thin eyebrows creased. Now was not the time to fuss over such matters. Taking medicine was the most important thing to do at the moment.

      Shen Xiran supported his body with his hands, supporting himself against the wall, he slowly walked over and sat on the bed. He poured out the pills from the drawer on the night table, but before he could get the hot water, he opened a glass of cold water and swallowed it.

      He felt cold all the way down to his stomach. Finally, his heart calmed down a little.

      His back was still drenched in cold sweat. Shen Xiran thought for a while, took off his shoes, covered himself with the blanket and laid down, then closed his eyes and waited for the effects of the medicine.

      Outside, Si Lianye knocked twice on the door, and gradually did not make any sound.

      He should have left already, right?

      A feeling of weakness overcame him, making him unable to resist the urge to sleep. Shen Xiran moved his body, he found a comfortable position, and his eyes fell into a field of gentle darkness.

      He did not know how long he slept, but when he opened his eyes, his body felt much more relaxed. Shen Xiran took his phone from his pillow. It was already 9: 30 at night.

      It was two hours later than when she had come in.

      After sleeping for so long, Shangguan Zhe should be worried again. In order to prevent trouble when he stopped what he was doing to look for her, Shen Xiran decided to return to the banquet.

      He took off his sweaty clothes and stuffed them into the washing machine, then carefully mended his makeup in front of the mirror. She picked up her bag, opened the door and was about to go downstairs.

      As soon as he opened the door a crack, the figure standing straight outside caught him off guard.

      Si Lianye, he still hasn't left?

      Shen Xiran instinctively wanted to slam the door, but his reaction was still too slow. Inadvertently, he picked up a gap in the door and strongly rejected it. He even stuck a foot in the door, preventing the door from closing.

      When he looked down and saw the foot that was dressed in expensive shoes, Shen Xiran felt a sense of stuffiness and raised his leg again, wanting to step on it. Unexpectedly, he lost all his strength and the door was opened by him without any resistance.

      Xiran, let me see how you are doing.

      The concern in his voice only increased.

      Seeing that Yue Yang was once again elegantly standing in front of him, Shen Xiran only wanted to smash the hypocrisy in his palm. Just as he raised his hand, he was firmly grabbed by the wrist, unable to struggle free.

      She was so angry that she almost laughed and pulled her hand out, Division is actually so thick-skinned now?

      Si Lianye stared at her with her black eyes, and her tone did not sound like she was being mischievous, I only treat you like this.

      During the time he stood outside the door, he had already thought it through clearly.

      He could not do without her, so in the coming days, he would definitely take her back.

      Like... It was the same way when he had chased her for the first time all those years ago.

      Shen Xiran thought back to the past and the trace of a smile involuntarily formed on his lips. Shen Xiran looked even more dazzling as he ridiculed, Then I must really thank Division! What virtue or ability do I have to actually get the Division's favor?

      Si Lianye's imposing body completely blocked the door, just as she was about to explain, her phone rang.

      Who would call him then?

      Si Lianye took out the phone and wanted to press it down, but when she saw the number, he was startled. After thinking for a while, he picked it up, Hello?

      This was his cousin Shen Zimo's home number. Normally, she wouldn't look for him unless there was an emergency.

      Sure enough, as soon as the line connected, the anxious voice of the Shen family's nanny, the Auntie Lu, could be heard from the microphone, Yue Ye, the Auntie Lu is here to find you for a favor … Your cousin is in the hospital with bad food. She's in the hospital right now and she's trying to get out.

      Discharge? Si Lianye frowned, If you're sick, then stay well. Why are you leaving the hospital?

      You know her temper. Since young, she has always listened to you the most, and I was also unable to find any other way — — Do you think it's possible for me to go to the hospital and treat it as giving face to the Auntie Lu?

      Si Lianye hesitated.

      Ever since he was young, the Great Auntie Lu had a good relationship with him, but this was the first time he was asking him for help.

      I know. After thinking for a long time, he finally replied in a low voice, Alright.

      The Auntie Lu was relieved and gave her address. She then hung up the phone in gratitude.

      Shen Xiran was watching the show with folded arms, vaguely hearing that he was about to leave. Seeing that he kept the phone in his pocket, she became excited, Division is busy? Then hurry up and go, it's not good to delay."

      Si Lianye looked at her steadily for a while.

      With her personality, she might just disappear after he left, causing him to be unable to find her again …

      He had been looking for her for so many years, and this time he did not want her to slip away from him.

      There are indeed things to be busy with. In the blink of an eye, Si Lianye had already made a decision in her heart. She extended her hand and grabbed onto her forearm, But, I didn't say that I'm alone.

      Shen Xiran was stunned, only to see the corner of his mouth curling up into a determined smile.

      Until he was pulled into the car and strapped into his seat, Shen Xiran had not given up on resisting.

      This man actually forcefully took her away from the back door of the Shangguan Family and stuffed her into his car!

      She fumbled around for the door's location, and just as she was about to open it, Si Lianye, who was in the driver's seat, raised her long fingers and pressed a button on the left side.

      With a click, all four doors were locked.

      Shen Xiran's action of opening the car door became meaningless. He turned his head, and his ice-cold gaze seemed to reduce the temperature of the car by several degrees.

      This man was indeed as strong as he was back then!

      Si Lianye ignored her gaze. She stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

      The royal blue sports car sped along the highway.

      Originally, there was no need to rush to the hospital, but Si Lianye secretly thought that if she could complete the task earlier, she would have plenty of time to save the woman beside him.

      As he thought about this, he pushed his gear forward another step, and his speed almost reached the red area.

      Shen Xiran sat in the front passenger seat and folded his hands together. His amber eyes were unmoved.

      At this speed, jumping off a car was completely unrealistic. Then, he would have to find an opportunity to stop the car, and then use that opportunity to escape.

      She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was waiting for an opportunity.

      Maybe Si Lianye's sportscar was too eye-catching, as countless people came to overtake him, but none of them were faster. Shen Xiran glanced at the white car speeding away in front of them, and the corner of his mouth raised.

      Her eyes swept across Si Lianye, who was looking at the road in front of her seriously.

      Now!

      Taking the chance that he wasn't paying attention, Shen Xiran suddenly extended his left hand and pulled the steering wheel towards him.

      What are you doing! Si Lianye thought that it was better for her to do this, and quickly turned the steering wheel to stabilize herself.

      However, it was already too late. The car was moving too fast, so they immediately skidded to the right as the car passed by.

      Even in such an urgent situation, Shen Xiran's smiling voice came over at a moderate pace, "Division, don't you know that if you were to randomly carry someone, you might have to pay a heavy price?

      With a ka sound, the two cars intimately clashed against each other!

      CHAPTER 4 - LINGERING GHOST

      The two men in the car leaned forward uncontrollably and were forced back by the seat belt.

      Si Lianye saved the car in time, the car was only scratched slightly, no one was injured, but the responsibility of the traffic accident could not be escaped.

      The owner of the white car cursed as he got out of the car to call the police. In his exasperation, he kicked the hood of the car over.

      Si Lianye knew that it was her party's fault and didn't intend to make things difficult for the other party, but when he thought about her desperate move just now, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, Do you want to die?

      Shen Xiran leaned his head against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind, pretending that he did not hear anything.

      The traffic police's efficiency was surprisingly high, they quickly arrived at the scene to investigate, and Si Lianye was also called down to inquire about the situation.

      What she wanted now was the result.

      Shen Xiran, whose eyes had been closed all this time, finally opened them. Without hesitation, he opened the car door, and while no one was looking, he walked to the side and waved for a taxi.

      Si Lianye accidentally turned her head and saw a taxi stop right in front of her.

      She really wanted to run away again!

      Si Lianye did not care about the police's question and directly handed all of her documents to the police. She asked them to take care of it in their stead and then abandoned the car and ran over, forcing the door open to get in the same car as her.

      Shen Xiran watched him walk in the opposite direction, his tall body casting a shadow on her body. This was the first time he had a headache, Why are you so persistent?

      Because I want to be with you. Si Lianye answered flatly, then turned and spoke to the driver with an unquestionable tone, To the hospital on Texas Road.

      Texas Road Hospital!

      Hearing this name, Shen Xiran's body uncontrollably trembled, so much so that he forgot to refute.

      That hospital... It was there five years ago that she had her kidney forcefully removed.

      After a long moment, she said firmly, I need to get out of the car.

      Si Lianye crossed her legs and sat in the back seat in a relaxed manner, Now that the car is on the ramp, parking the car is very dangerous.

      You! Shen Xiran pointed at him in anger, his lips trembling.

      Things can be done soon. Si Lianye did not feel anything as she turned to look at her with a gentle gaze.

      …

      The taxi quickly stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Si Lianye opened the car door and pulled the person beside him out.

      Shen Xiran was forcefully dragged to the entrance of the hospital, feeling his legs go weak.

      That's right... This is the place.

      The feeling of being anesthetized on the operating table and being unable to control her body surged up one by one, making her feel dizzy uncontrollably.

      She struggled, but this little bit of strength was not a threat to Si Lianye. He merely took her arm in a leisurely manner, squinted to determine the direction, and chose a corridor.

      The deeper they went, the more that feeling of fear became stronger. Shen Xiran tightly gripped his fingers as his lips turned white.

      It wasn't easy for him to get to the ward, but in this sealed room where he could rest and recover, that suffocating feeling slightly dissipated.

      Shen Xiran pushed Si Lianye to the front and silently held onto his chest, breathing heavily.

      Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Zimo, who was looking out of the window sulking, turned around excitedly. Cousin brother, I knew you would —

      Before she even finished speaking, her gaze landed on Shen Xiran who was behind Si Lianye. The feeling of elation was suddenly replaced by another emotion. She opened her mouth slightly in surprise. It's you?

      The next moment, undisguised hostility seeped out of his voice. You're still alive?

      Many years ago, this woman occupied a different position in his cousin's heart. Later on, there were a series of changes, and she thought she would disappear from his life. Unexpectedly, this woman came back shamelessly!

      A flame of jealousy rose from Shen Zimo's back as she glared at the person in front of his.

      Shen Xiran squinted his eyes, and a thorny light shot out from his eyes, passing by Shen Zimo's body.

      The woman in front of him was really an old friend … To think that they would meet again here.

      Moreover, compared to his defeated state back then, Shen Zimo's current face was extremely healthy and rosy.

      She had almost forgotten that all the torture she had gone through over the years had something to do with this woman.

      Are you disappointed that I'm still alive? Shen Xiran tapped his feet on the ground, his posture relaxed and relaxed, What, the Miss Shen is using someone else's things, do you have time to do it?

      Without waiting for a reply, she swept her eyes across him again, Seems like it will work. After all, the Miss Shen is already starting to think about the other items of the original owner.

      You! Upon mentioning that, Shen Zimo's face flushed red, If the situation wasn't urgent, do you think I would have accepted? I still think it's dirty!

      Shen Xiran smirked coldly, but just as he was about to speak, Si Lianye had already spoken first, Shen Zimo, what are you saying?

      Upon hearing his voice, Shen Zimo's attitude softened a bit. She did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her cousin, but before she shifted her gaze, she still used her gaze to gouge Shen Xiran fiercely.

      Shen Xiran turned a blind eye. For the time being, she didn't place such an opponent in her eyes.

      Si Lianye naturally sensed the tension between the two of them, after pondering for a moment, she decided to end the battle quickly, I heard that you are trying to cause a ruckus and leave the hospital?

      I … Seeing his cousin's stern expression, Shen Zimo felt a little guilty, and began to hesitate to speak.

      I'll ask the doctor about his condition before making my decision. Si Lianye was too lazy to listen to her explanation. Since a young age, Shen Zimo's willfulness had become a law. He reached out his hand towards Shen Xiran, You come with me.

      Shen Xiran frowned, he took a step back in disgust, and moved his hand away as if it was flowing water, I am good as long as I am here.

      She would rather stay in the ward than endure the endless torment of memory in the corridor. Besides, facing Shen Zimo was evidently much easier than facing him.

      Seeing her determined attitude, and thinking that the doctor's office was the only path that had to be taken to the outside of the hospital, Si Lianye could always be on the lookout for her escape, so he looked at her from head to toe and nodded, That's good too.

      The door to the ward opened and closed, and Si Lianye's figure disappeared from her field of vision. Only Shen Xiran and Shen Zimo were left in the space.

      Upon seeing Si Lianye leaving, Shen Zimo immediately changed his expression. He arrogantly raised his hand and pointed his finger at Shen Xiran's nose. You, come here.

      Shen Xiran looked at her and secretly sneered in his heart. He took a step closer, How is it?

      Let me tell you, Shen Zimo looked outside and made sure that no one would suddenly come in, then lowered his voice, threatening them, Although I don't know why you came back, but you have to understand one thing – my cousin is mine, don't have any thoughts of coveting for him.

      Shen Xiran felt that the fierce look on his face was extremely funny, so she really laughed.

      That's it? After receiving the other party's nod, Shen Xiran crossed his arms and looked down at her from above, showing a pondering expression, About this …

      Shen Zimo was scared all over by her, he looked fierce but inside, he was feeling weak, What are you doing?

      I'm not thinking of anything. I just want to tell you that I … Under Shen Zimo's anticipating eyes, Shen Xiran suddenly smiled seductively, I'm really not interested.

      CHAPTER 5 - SPIRITUAL CLAMP

      After he finished speaking, he did not care about Shen Zimo's reaction as he walked out of the ward and called Shangguan Zhe from the balcony, telling him to come pick him up.

      After giving the address, he was assured that he would be there in ten minutes. Shen Xiran completed his mission and put the phone back in his pocket. Coincidentally, he met Si Lianye, who had just returned from an inquiry.

      His figure and demeanor were exactly the same as they were all those years ago. But... He would never be so infatuated again.

      had already started buying supper for him. He made some calculations in his mind, then casually found a reason to send him away, Then I'll go buy supper. I'm hungry anyway.

      You're not coming with me? Si Lianye directly ignored Shen Zimo, and did not loosen his guard against her in the slightest, obviously not believing her words.

      Why are you going with me? Shen Xiran looked straight at his searching eyes, and revealed everything he said, What exactly are you worried about? It's late at night and we can't even get a car here.

      She raised her chin slightly, knowing that this provocation would be effective.

      Si Lianye never liked for others to see through his thoughts, if someone was lucky enough to see through him, it would all be covered up by him.

      Sure enough, Si Lianye slowly turned her eyes away, giving up on her control over her spirit, and casually retorted, I didn't.

      Shen Xiran did not stab him, and nodded in satisfaction: That's good.

      Aiya, Cousin, if you don't go soon Xin'er will starve to death. Shen Zimo's voice suddenly cut in. She couldn't stand their interactions the most, so he forcefully pulled Si Lianye's attention back and pushed him towards the door, Hurry.

      In the end, he didn't say anything. He gave Shen Xiran a deep look, and with one hand in his pocket, he walked out of the room with large strides.

      In the corridor, the footsteps made by the leather shoes gradually disappeared into the distance. Shen Xiran's chest moved up and down almost indiscernibly, and he slowly let out a breath.

      At least they had let him go.

      Speaking of which, he had to thank his jealous cousin. Otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

      After hearing the sound of his sports car starting up outside the window, Shen Xiran immediately took action. Without a care in the world, she slung his satchel over her shoulder and reached for the door handle.

      Hey, what are you doing? Shen Zimo suddenly stood up from the bed, his eyes suspiciously watching her movements, Want to run?

      Run? The door was already opened by Shen Xiran, and one of her feet had already left the sickroom. When she looked back, his eyes flashed with mockery that was not a smile. If I run away, wouldn't that be more advantageous for you?

      This … Shen Zimo suffocated, he actually felt speechless.

      Indeed, from the very first moment she saw Shen Xiran, she secretly hoped that she would disappear.

      It was best to disappear completely without a trace.

      Thinking about it, Shen Zimo clenched his teeth, and pretended to be deaf and mute outside the window. Let her go, if his cousin insisted that he wanted to beat her up, he would just say that he was not feeling well, and would not be able to stop her.

      Shen Xiran reached his goal, steadied his mind, and closed the ward with a click. She tried to ignore the panic in the empty corridor. As she walked out, she picked up the phone. You don't have to drive in. Just wait for me at the gate.

      When Si Lianye carried the two cups of lean meat porridge back to the ward, she received a message like this: Shen Xiran had just left two minutes ago.

      Gone? The porridge was slammed onto the cabinet beside the bed and a few drops of it spilled out. Where did you go?

      Shen Zimo lowered his eyelids, his eyes flashed with venom and hatred.

      She hadn't thought that that woman would occupy such an important position in her cousin's heart. All these years, although her cousin had been indifferent to her, he had never been so strict with her.

      Over there. Shen Zimo pointed towards a direction unwillingly. Then, he saw a flash in front of him and the figure inside the ward had already run out.

      Her suit fluttered in the wind as she ran, and when she finally reached the main gate, Si Lianye only saw Shen Xiran getting on his car. Then, the car turned around quickly and left in a cloud of dust.

      Damn it!

      The food that was specially bought for her was stuffed into the trash can fiercely, Si Lianye scratched her head in annoyance.

      How easy it was for him to believe her!

      After burying her forehead into her hands that were icy cold from the cold wind, he finally calmed down a little. Si Lianye quickly returned to the car and started up the engine. With one hand on the steering wheel, she pressed the Bluetooth earpiece into her ear.

      The phone was quickly connected, and his voice returned to its usual calm and collected state. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was like a king giving orders, Send me her phone number and address. Right away."

      Yes. On the other end of the line, the secretary's voice sounded a little shaky.

      From top to bottom, almost everyone in Cloud Night knew the importance of the her mentioned by the CEO. Five years ago, when she mysteriously disappeared, the CEO tried his best to find her, but to no avail.

      However, the president did not give up and instead increased his efforts. As a result, she had just returned home and had fallen under their surveillance.

      Now, was the Division finally going to take action?

      Si Lianye casually pressed a button and retracted the string. In less than thirty seconds, a new message appeared on the screen.

      Following the directions shown, Si Lianye finally stopped in front of the apartment, which was 1 in the morning.

      The room on the sixth floor was lit up by soft lights.

      Fortunately, she was still there and had not escaped to a place he could not find.

      Si Lianye relaxed her mind, she gently leaned her head against the back of the chair and quietly breathed out.

      Since there were no other cars around, it was obvious that after Shangguan Zhe sent her back home, he had already gone back by himself, and did not even bother to take a seat. In other words, the two of them hadn't acted against each other yet, so naturally, they didn't have any special relationship with each other.

      Si Lianye analyzed it from the bottom of her heart, and for some reason, a feeling of secret joy spread out.

      He had to admit that at the banquet, when he saw her standing together with Shangguan Zhe, he felt a sense of jealousy and despair rise up from all around him, almost forcing her into a dead end.

      Si Lianye picked up her phone with her clear fingers and saved the numbers in the message. After thinking for a while, she carefully typed in the word Ran as a comment. Then the screen stopped at the dial.

      He wanted to forcefully pull her back to his side, but for some reason, she looked just like a youth that had just experienced a new level of cultivation. He would care about her opinion, and there would even be times when he was at a loss. He didn't even act like himself.

      If she answered the phone, would it be in the same indifferent tone?

      Si Lianye's finger lingered around the dial icon for a while. Just as he was hesitating, the lights on the sixth floor suddenly went out like faint fireflies.

      Everything was quiet, and in the end, the number did not come out. Si Lianye gave up, and quietly waited until it was white in the east before driving away.

      CHAPTER 6 - INDOLENT LETHARGY

      The moment he left the compound, he dialed his secretary's number again. It was a rich, sexy bass voice.

      Empty the house nearest her. If there are residents, just ask them to ask for the price.

      Yes, do not delay it. Deal with it by today.

      The next morning, as the gauzy sunlight covered the land with warmth, the entire city gradually woke up.

      Shen Xiran had rested too late last night, so today he directly slept until he woke up naturally. When he woke up, he felt that his entire body had become much more comfortable.

      He covered his mouth with his hand and yawned elegantly. The phone beside his pillow rang.

      With one hand, Shen Xiran picked up the phone, and with the other hand, he propped himself up from the bed. He leaned on the headboard, and said with an indolent tone, I just woke up, and you already called.

      After knowing each other for so many years, I naturally know your habits. Shangguan Zhe gave a rare chuckle, "Last night, you agreed to accompany me to the customers' table today. How about it?

      Shen Xiran looked at the clock on the wall lazily. It was already 10: 30 in the morning. Only then did he remember his promise from last night, No problem, I'll see you in an hour.

      The two of them made an arrangement to meet downstairs. Shen Xiran waited for the other party to hang up, then casually threw his phone on the soft bed and started to wash up.

      She took her slippers to the bathroom to take a bath, and the mirror reflected her snow-white body.

      Shen Xiran habitually turned around to look at his back. At the back of his waist, a hideous scar snaked downwards, ruthlessly cutting through his smooth skin and extending to his buttocks.

      The scenes from that year flashed through his mind one by one. The cold anesthetic, the white light, and the dull feeling of the scalpel slashing through his body.

      She gently closed her eyes.

      Under the terrible scar, one of her kidneys was gone.

      The warm water opened and mist rose up. Very soon, the human figure in the mirror became unclear.

      Shen Xiran pursed his lips, the ball slowly brushed past his body. At the same time, his heart gradually became firm and cold from seeing Si Lianye's anger and nervousness at first glance.

      She would no longer avoid him.

      If he didn't enter the tiger's den, he wouldn't get the tiger. This was the 'parting gift' Si Lianye had given her … How could he not retaliate?

      After finishing the shower and getting dressed, Shen Xiran made a face in the mirror. A pair of long eyelashes were drawn, and a pair of phoenix eyes appeared even more enchanting.

      After changing into a bag and high heels that matched her clothes, she took a final look at herself in the mirror before leisurely heading downstairs.

      Shangguan Zhe's Maybach was already waiting downstairs. He was dressed in a white suit with tassels of gold and brown on the pockets, and a tie-pin glinting with metal made him seem even more ethereal.

      Now, as he watched her go downstairs, his eyes filled with a dark surge of emotion, he politely averted his eyes as she approached and opened the door for her. You're punctual.

      Shen Xiran smiled sweetly and lowered his body to sit inside, We are.

      In the downtown music restaurant, a foreign young lady is playing a piano piece flexibly. The magnificent dome was decorated with glittering crystal lights. The interior of the hall was decorated in a high-end style.

      Sir, you two? The courteous greeter crossed his hands, bowed slightly, and said with great respect, Do you have an appointment?

      Yes. Shangguan Zhe gave his surname and table number, the receptionist politely pointed in a direction and led the two of them away.

      Shen Xiran followed gracefully, holding his arm and observing the surroundings from time to time.

      It was indeed a rare place, graceful and quiet, very suitable for business negotiations.

      Shen Xiran silently nodded his head, but out of the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure.

      What a coincidence, he was also here?

      Si Lianye and a few other kids were sitting by the table, waiting for the dishes to arrive. Hearing the guide leading the way, they inadvertently raised their heads to look, but didn't expect to see the woman whom he guarded the whole night.

      Her eyes drifted down, catching a glimpse of the way she was holding someone else's arm, and a black flame flared in the depths of her eyes.

      The goblet that was tightly held in Si Lianye's hand was set aside. She suddenly stood up, walked to the front of the two of them, and extended her hand out to Shen Xiran.

      What a coincidence. It's only been a few hours since we've parted, and now we meet again.

      His voice was not soft. After all, they were all handsome men and beautiful women. For a moment, many people looked in their direction, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

      The customer who was treating today was just beside them, and did not want to attract the other party's attention by making too much of a fuss, so Shen Xiran had no choice but to take his hand out from Shangguan Zhe's arm and hold Si Lianye, Indeed, it is my greatest pleasure.

      As soon as the dragonfly touched the water, she retreated before he could grasp her.

      Shen Xiran raised his eyes and indicated his direction, Division has had a good time, we still have things to take care of, let's not keep you company.

      Once she finished, she walked shoulder to shoulder with Shangguan Zhe towards the square table that the customer was already waiting for. Only this time, due to Si Lianye's destruction, he did not walk forward with his arms crossed.

      A satisfied smile appeared in Si Lianye's eyes as she turned around and walked back to her seat.

      The meal went on without a hush. Si Lianye's gaze would occasionally land on the table not far away and as she watched them chat jokingly, she inadvertently took a sip of the red wine.

      Even the normal jovial kids noticed his unusual behavior today and restrained their noisy behavior.

      There must be something between that woman and Si Lianye.

      The small fries suppressed their curiosity and worked hard to eat their meal to the point where they needed twice as much time as usual, hoping that Si Lianye would take the initiative to say something. However, Si Lianye gracefully put down the wine cup, inadvertently glancing at everyone and spoke casually: Have you finished eating? Someone who is familiar with Shangguan Zhe should go and help that table settle their debts. I'll double the amount.

      Double?

      Double the price of this restaurant, that would be a big deal.

      Although the children were all rich, who wouldn't want to fight for this prize? Furthermore, they were all positive because they wanted to help Si Lianye obtain the return of the beauty.

      But unfortunately, after they asked each other, none of them had any relationship with Shangguan Zhe.

      Although Shangguan Zhe was the patriarch of the Shangguan Family, he was cold and aloof, and rarely interacted with other people, so his friends were even rarer.

      After discussing for a while, one of them, called Lin Zixuan, used his hand to pinch his chin and said, I don't know Shangguan Zhe, but I do know the customer that is treating them to a meal, I wonder if that will work?

      Si Lianye placed one hand on her knees, and with the other hand, she drummed on the table, lifting her eyelids to look at the customer, she nodded her head in agreement.

      Shen Xiran's meal was nearing its end, but unexpectedly, a person walked over with a bill and directly handed it over to the customer. He intimately put his arm around Yue Yang's shoulders, "Boss Fang, your table has already settled the bill for you.

      Zi Xuan? CEO Fang was clearly a bit surprised. However, the relationship between the two of them seemed to be quite good, so he didn't decline and just politely said, How can I accept this?

      There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Lin Zixuan pointed to Shen Xiran with a grin, If you want to thank her, thank her. You have invited a great benefactor today after all.

      Miss Shen? What happened to her? Director Fang was at a loss.

      Lin Zixuan tilted his head, opening up a path for them, When our Division sees that she is betting on something, help her settle the bill, you, just take it as you got away with it.

      CHAPTER 7 - JUST THINKING ABOUT THINGS

      Shen Xiran looked up, to see the deep look in Si Lianye's eyes. Their eyes met in the air.

      When he left the restaurant, it was already 2 in the afternoon.

      Shen Xiran sat in the carriage on the way back, the scenery on both sides flying past the corner of his eyes, without saying a word.

      Was it affected by him? Shangguan Zhe earnestly stared at the road in front of him. While busy himself with work, he pulled out the space in the rearview mirror and looked at her thoughtfully.

      Nope. Shen Xiran laughed casually, and looked at him in the mirror, I was just thinking about something.

      He was indeed thinking.

      Many years ago, Si Lianye had also used a similar method to catch him.

      Back then, she was extremely moved by his romance. Now, it seems that it was really because she was too young and ignorant.

      When he returned home, he found that the empty house next door was moving. Things were brought in one by one, and people were also urging the workers, Hurry up, the owners spent a lot of money to say that they are going to live here today.

      Shen Xiran laughed, who would be in such a hurry to move house? Could it be that he really couldn't find a place to stay?

      She had always ignored these matters of others. Even if it was her future neighbors, she had no intention of interacting with them. Shen Xiran shook his head, took out the key and opened the door, closing the busy door behind him.

      He watched the financial news at home for an afternoon, and only when the sun went down did he realize that he had not eaten dinner.

      Shen Xiran got up and slowly walked towards the kitchen. He had prepared the pot and spices, and when he opened the refrigerator, he found that there were no ingredients inside.

      As expected, he had been so busy recently with Si Lianye that he couldn't even take care of his
