You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

"Let's get a divorce."

The main lights in the living room were not on; only a floor lamp emitted a dim, yellowish light.

Lu Ci sat deep in the sofa, the cigarette in his hand glowing intermittently, his voice calm.

At the entrance, Shen Man, who had just pushed the door open, paused.

She kicked off her high heels and casually hung her black trench coat on the hanger.

As her coat was removed, the form-fitting black velvet jumpsuit underneath instantly accentuated her stunning figure.

Her slender waist, long and straight legs, and the dazzling expanse of white skin at her neckline exuded an astonishing mature charm in the dim light.

In the air, besides her usual cool woody perfume, there was also a distinct smell of alcohol.

Her eyes, which had been slightly drowsy, cleared a little in an instant. Her brows furrowed slightly, and as if she hadn't heard clearly, she asked, "What did you say?"

"Let's get a divorce."

Lu Ci stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, which was already overflowing with cigarette butts.

Shen Man was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

She walked to the sofa, sat down next to him, and her soft body, slightly flushed with alcohol, moved closer to him.

"Are you still angry about the movie?" Her tone carried a hint of casual apology as she reached out to tug at his sleeve.

"You know, I really wanted to watch that movie with you today, but I got a last-minute call and had to meet a very important overseas client. I couldn't help it. How about... I cancel my engagement tomorrow and watch it with you then?"

Lu Ci didn't look at her: "Did you reach an agreement?"

Shen Man's fingers paused slightly, then she casually withdrew her hand and tidied a stray hair behind her ear: "No, the client had an urgent matter and couldn't come."

"Didn't come?" Lu Ci finally turned his head, his deep gaze piercing her eyes. "So, the client didn't come, and you drank with him half the night, right?"

The two of them knew perfectly well who "he" referred to.

Gu Mingxuan, the man who went abroad to study in high school, comes from a wealthy family, and was her childhood sweetheart, recently returned from his studies abroad.

Shen Man's face immediately darkened, and the last bit of patience in her voice vanished: "Can you please stop being so suspicious?"

"Yes, I did drink with him, so what? He just returned to the country not long ago, and besides me, he doesn't know anyone else in this circle. As an old friend, I chatted with him and caught up, what's wrong with that?"

She became increasingly self-righteous as she spoke: "Lu Ci, you're a grown man, can't you stop being so petty? Everything between us is innocent, nothing happened!"

"An old friend?" Lu Ci gave a short, cold laugh. "How many times have we argued about you, this 'old friend,' in the past month since he returned to the country?"

Those absurd images that had been suppressed in his heart flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

Last week, he had a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius and was receiving an IV drip at the hospital alone. He called her to ask if she could bring him some clothes, but she said she was in a meeting and couldn't leave. However, he later saw on someone else's WeChat Moments that she was picking him up at the airport VIP channel at the same time that day, with a bright smile on her face.

For the past month, she has been glued to her phone every night, often sending messages to the other party late at night under the pretense of "talking about work and projects," with a light smile always on her lips that she herself was unaware of.

The two of them were supposed to go to the movies and shopping today, but half an hour into the movie, a message came in, and Shen Man left the theater under the pretext of meeting a client, telling Shen Ci to go home first.

Shen Ci didn't leave, nor did she feel like continuing to watch the movie. She sat there reminiscing about their four-year marriage.

And the changes during this period.

He suddenly felt a bit bored.

This relationship really should come to an end.

Looking back, their union was nothing more than an absurd arrangement where each party got what they wanted.

At that time, he had just graduated from university and was facing the harsh realities of society. He had also just broken up with his ex-girlfriend, and he was at rock bottom, just waiting to die.

As a wealthy heiress, she is being pressured by her family into a business marriage, which is extremely annoying for her.

Two down-on-their-luck individuals, who happen to meet by chance at a bar, are college classmates who, fueled by alcohol, hit it off immediately.

He wanted a peaceful and stable life, to be a lazy and irresponsible husband. She needed an obedient shield to shut up her family.

A prenuptial agreement clearly divides everything.

He thought he was just a cold-hearted son-in-law, but during the four years they spent together, he developed some feelings that he shouldn't have had.

It wasn't until Gu Mingxuan appeared that it was like a resounding slap in the face, waking him up.

Seeing Lu Ci remain silent, radiating an aloof indifference that keeps people at arm's length, Shen Man felt even more irritated.

But looking at the still handsome but lifeless face in front of him, coupled with the rising effects of the alcohol he had just drunk, a strange heat and impulse surged into his heart.

In her opinion, Lu Ci was just throwing a tantrum.

How could a man who has nothing and depends on her really be willing to divorce her?

Moreover, although their marriage over the years has been more like a win-win cooperation, they have gotten to know each other over the years, and Lu Ci is gentle, considerate, and not bad-looking, so it would be a lie to say there are no feelings between them.

As the saying goes, couples who quarrel in bed make up before they get out of bed.

The simplest and most direct way to relieve a man's sexual desire is through physical comfort.

"Alright, stop being so temperamental..."

Shen Man suddenly chuckled, her eyes flashing with a captivating charm that she rarely displayed.

She suddenly straddled Lu Ci's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, her beautiful eyes now hazy, and pressed her red lips, which smelled of wine and sweetness, down on him.

She pounced on Lu Ci on the large leather sofa without hesitation, her movements urgent and proactive.

Full curves fill the gaps.

Lu Ci didn't know how things had suddenly developed this way, but he thought that this might be the last time he would be with this stunningly beautiful wife.

He began to respond as well.

That night, I gained more knowledge, but the sofa and table almost fell apart.

……

early morning

The hangover headache made Shen Man frown uncomfortably.

She rubbed her throbbing temples and propped herself up to sit up.

The silk quilt cover slid down her smooth shoulders, revealing large patches of skin covered with ambiguous red marks.

She glanced at the empty seat beside her.

"Hmph..." She snorted softly, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Last night, Lu Ci's sudden statement, "Let's get a divorce," did indeed startle her for a moment.

But as it turns out, that's how men are; no matter how harsh their words, their actions speak louder than words.

If she lowers her stance a little and offers a way out, she can easily be soothed and compliant during sexual intercourse.

She put on a silk nightgown and walked out of the bedroom barefoot.

The faint hum of the range hood could be heard from the open kitchen.

Lu Ci, dressed in a simple white loungewear outfit, was facing away from her, skillfully chopping scallions at the counter.

The clay pot was bubbling away, releasing the familiar aroma of preserved egg and lean pork congee, mixed with the sweet and sour scent of hangover soup, filling the spacious living room.

Looking at the man's broad back, Shen Man felt a sense of security that was hard to describe.

This is her husband. Although he has no achievements in his career and just makes a living by running a milk tea shop, he is absolutely perfect in taking care of people.
