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

Shen Man looked down at the silk loungewear she was wearing.

She stood up unsteadily, went back to her bedroom, and rummaged through the deepest part of her closet to find a black lace slip dress that she rarely wore.

After changing into her nightgown, she stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at herself.

The black silk fabric clung to her proud, curvaceous figure like water. The thin strap on her left shoulder was pulled outwards, whether intentionally or unintentionally, just hanging on her rounded shoulder, revealing a large expanse of dazzling white skin and delicate collarbone.

After doing all this, Shen Man took a deep breath, stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet, and tiptoed upstairs to the second floor.

Standing at the door of the guest room, a sliver of remaining rationality suddenly flashed through Shen Man's alcohol-numbed mind.

How shameless of a CEO to dress like this and show up at her ex-husband's door in the middle of the night!

Will Lu Ci think that I've given in first? He'll definitely take the opportunity to laugh at me, won't he?

Just as she was hesitating and even considering giving up, she heard the sound of running water from the showerhead in the room just a door away.

The sound of "splashing" water.

It was magnified infinitely in the quiet night.

In an instant, Shen Man's mind uncontrollably conjured up the image of that body, which had undergone a five-day transformation, now with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

Thinking of those eyes, Shen Man's legs involuntarily tightened slightly, and her breathing became rapid.

The last shred of reason was completely swallowed up by surging desire and alcohol.

She gritted her teeth, reached out and grasped the doorknob, and gently turned it.

The door was unlocked.

Shen Man pushed open the door and slipped inside like a thief cat.

The room was empty, with a warm yellow overhead light on.

Only the frosted glass bathroom door let in bright light, and the sound of running water came from inside.

Shen Man's face turned bright red, and her heart pounded like a drum.

She had only intended to wait for him to come out of the room, but the alcohol made her unable to control her feet.

She swallowed hard, walked to the bathroom door, and pushed open the slightly ajar glass door.

The bathroom was filled with steam and the temperature was almost scorching.

Because the shower was so loud, Lu Ci didn't hear the door open outside at all.

He had just finished showering and turned off the tap. He casually grabbed a white bath towel and loosely tied it around his waist.

Hearing the bathroom door being suddenly pushed open, Lu Ci was startled and subconsciously turned his head.

Their eyes met through the mist.

Shen Man was completely stunned.

Water droplets dripped down Lu Ci's wet black hair, tracing his broad, muscular chest, flowing over his well-defined, sculpted eight-pack abs, and finally disappearing into the powerful V-lines along the edge of the towel.

And those eyes, which seemed somewhat bewildered at this moment, appeared even clearer and more innocent because they were moistened with tears.

But it was precisely this unknowing purity that automatically triggered the ability of the entry the moment their eyes met.

Shen Man felt like she was about to stop breathing.

Lu Ci looked at Shen Man standing at the door, dressed in extremely revealing and alluring clothes, her eyes glazed over, and smelled the strong scent of alcohol on her. His brows furrowed slightly.

"You've had too much to drink and came to the wrong room." Lu Ci casually picked up a towel and dried his hair. "Go back and rest. I'll take you back to your room."

He sighed inwardly.

If only the [Youthful Gaze] reward from this system had an on/off switch! Now that they're divorced, being stared at by his ex-wife with those wolfish eyes not only makes him feel awkward, but also makes him feel like the surging blood in his eighteen-year-old body is about to burst out of control.

However, Shen Man, who was dizzy and completely out of her mind, couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

All she saw was a pair of affectionate eyes gazing at her.

She stepped onto the wet, slippery bathroom tiles and slowly approached him.

I had only taken two steps when my foot suddenly slipped.

"what!"

She lost her balance and fell forward uncontrollably, landing on her knees in front of Lu Ci.

"Be careful!"

Lu Ci subconsciously bent down, wanting to reach out and help her.

But Shen Man's soft, boneless hands instinctively grabbed the edge of the bath towel around Lu Ci's waist.

With a gentle tug.

Then...

Lu Ci's outstretched hand, which he had reached out to help, suddenly froze in mid-air.

...At this moment, everything was completely out of control.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and he instinctively tilted his head back.

……

As night deepened, in the master bedroom next door.

Shen Zongyao had been drinking that night and was fast asleep, snoring regularly.

Xu Hui, who had just put down her phone and was about to go to sleep, suddenly frowned.

Although the villa has excellent sound insulation, there is a slight echo in the bathroom drainpipes and vents.

Moreover, the noise coming from the next room tonight was really too loud.

Even through a wall, the deliberately suppressed yet unstoppable female voice still drifted intermittently into Xu Hui's ears.

Xu Hui's expression changed instantly, and she sat up abruptly from the bed.

What's going on?!

Lu Ci and Manman are clearly divorced! So who is Lu Ci with in this guest room in the middle of the night...?

An utterly absurd and terrifying thought flashed through my mind in an instant: Could it be Nian Nian?!

The way that girl looked at Lu Ci today was strange, and the two of them even came back together.

Xu Hui broke out in a cold sweat. Without even putting on her slippers, she hurriedly ran barefoot out of the master bedroom and headed straight for Shen Nian's room.

She carefully turned the doorknob and, using the light from the hallway, saw the girl on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, sleeping soundly.

Xu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief; the heart that had been hanging in her throat finally settled down.

If it's not Shen Nian, then who else could it be in this house?

Xu Hui shook her head helplessly, turned around and went upstairs to Shen Man's bedroom.

Pushing open the door, I saw that the bed was empty, and the blankets hadn't even been pulled back.

Looking at the empty room and listening to the faint, intense noise coming from the guest room next door, Xu Hui felt both annoyed and amused.

That brat, she's as stubborn as a duck when she's eating, saying she has no regrets and that he'll come back to beg me.

And what happened? In the dead of night, he went to her room and threw himself into her arms!

Xu Hui sighed helplessly and returned to the master bedroom, lying back down on the bed.

However, listening to the incessant, seemingly tireless noise from next door, and looking at her husband sleeping like a log beside her, only snoring, Xu Hui couldn't help but feel a flush of heat rise on her face.

The more she listened, the more annoyed and angry she became. Finally, she rolled over and punched her father hard on the shoulder: "Old man, all you do is sleep!"

Mr. Shen smacked his lips, turned over, and continued snoring.
