Who is Lu Shen truly in love with?
If the person he's talking about isn't Li Anran, then who is it?
It couldn't be me, could it?
She wasn't sure, and she didn't dare to ask.
Jian Ruoxi turned her head slightly away, avoiding looking directly into Lu Shen's eyes.
"If you want to find out who's behind Li Anran, I do have a way."
Unable to answer the question, she had to change the subject.
"Oh? What method?"
Now he was a little curious.
He sat back down on the edge of the bed, crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow at Jian Ruoxi, and waited for her to continue.
"Li Anran must know now that her plan to kill me has failed, and she must be terrified at the Lu family right now."
"I'm afraid of being discovered, especially by you."
"Because she doesn't know whether you will punish her this time."
Lu Shen recalled the countless phone calls Li Anran had made to him from yesterday to today.
He had initially thought she had something else on her mind, but after Ruoxi said that, he understood Li Anran's anxiety.
"So what do you want to do?" He propped his head up with one hand, staring at her with great interest.
He had a feeling that what Ruoxi was about to say would surprise him.
"Give her a push."
"If Li Anran were to lose everything she owns now, in her desperation, who do you think she would turn to for help in the end?"
Lu Shen's eyes lit up.
He had underestimated Ruoxi; she always managed to surprise him.
This would not only punish Li Anran, but also help to find out who was behind him.
He hadn't thought of this before.
"Ruoxi, your actions are making me wonder if you're settling a personal score."
Jian Ruoxi glanced at her lower abdomen.
"There was a personal feud between us."
During the period immediately following her divorce from Lu Shen, Li Anran relentlessly mocked her, but she refrained from arguing with her out of respect for Lu Shen.
But now, Li Anran has gone even further, determined to harm the child in her womb.
Otherwise, the assassin behind her would never have known she was pregnant.
When she looked up again, she had already concealed the expression on her face.
"As for how to force her, I don't think I need to explain that to Young Master Lu."
Isn't threatening and intimidating something Lu Shen is most skilled at?
Lu Shen looked serious, as if he were making a promise.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you."
"If there's anything I need your help with then, I hope Miss Jian won't find it troublesome."
He was determined to do everything in his power to bring Ruoxi back, just as he had pushed her away back then.
It's only temporary for Ruoxi to stay in the private villa; the next step is to take her back to the Lu family.
As for Li Anran, she should have left long ago.
The main hall of the Lu family mansion.
"By the way, is Anran still sitting in the hall waiting for Ashen?" the old lady asked the maid beside her.
The maid nodded and replied respectfully, "Yes, Miss Li sat in the hall all night last night."
"We still haven't seen the young master return."
The old lady's face immediately fell, and she looked displeased.
"What exactly is Ah Shen doing? Why is he making An Ran wait?"
If word gets out, who knows what people will say about them behind their backs.
"Madam, could it be that Miss Li upset the young master?"
They noticed Li Anran in the hall, who looked anxious and fearful.
It's hard not to make them think in that direction.
"Go and call Ah Shen back. What's the point of him staying out here all this time?"
"You're about to become husband and wife, what can't you talk about? Why do you have to make things so tense?"
The maid agreed rather reluctantly.
They didn't want to provoke the young master at this critical juncture.
Just as they went downstairs, they saw Lu Shen walking slowly in from outside.
"Young Master is back!"
Upon hearing the maid's voice, Li Anran abruptly looked up, her eyes immediately meeting Lu Shen's calm and unwavering gaze.
Does Lu Shen not know that Jian Ruoxi is in trouble?
Why is it so calm?
Or is it that he doesn't care about Jian Ruoxi at all?
Li Anran suppressed her doubts and stepped forward to greet him.
"Ah Shen, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you here all day yesterday. I couldn't sleep until you came."
When she was unsure of Lu Shen's true feelings towards Jian Ruoxi, she needed to remain calm and composed.
"Really?"
"I thought you couldn't sleep because you were worried I would come after you."
A look of horror crossed Li Anran's face.
Why would he say that?
How much does Lu Shen actually know about her sending people to kill Jian Ruoxi yesterday?
"Ah Shen, what are you saying? I... I don't quite understand." She was a little flustered.
Lu Shen took a step forward and looked down at her.
"Jian Ruoxi was first kidnapped by kidnappers yesterday, and then chased by assassins."
“My men have found a clue that seems to be related to you.”
Li Anran shook her head like a sieve.
Lu Shen is terrifying now; even a single glance from him can make her tremble.
He was clearly there to support Jian Ruoxi.
Is Jian Ruoxi that important to him?
Wasn't he uninterested in her before?
"How could that be? Ruoxi and I are acquaintances."
"Besides, she's Ah Shen's ex-wife, and she took care of you for three years."
"I'm so grateful to her, how could I possibly hurt her?"
