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

It wasn't until after 5 a.m., when the sky outside the window had already turned white, that the absurd and violent storm finally subsided completely.

The messy bedding on the large bed in the guest room testified to the madness of the previous night.

Shen Man's face was flushed, and her whole body was so weak that she couldn't even lift a finger.

Like an ostrich, she curled herself up tightly under the covers, too embarrassed to even peek out.

Recalling the absurdity of that night, her heart pounded wildly.

This is outrageous... This is absolutely outrageous!

Although Lu Ci was gentle and considerate in the past, he was always very proper in matters of that kind.

But last night... he was like a wild beast released from its cage!

Did he take medicine? No way, he didn't know he was coming.

The morning breeze was a bit cool on the balcony of the guest room.

Lu Ci, wearing a long bathrobe, leaned against the railing, a freshly lit cigarette between his fingers.

Amidst the wisps of smoke, his eyes held a hint of helplessness.

"An eighteen-year-old's body really can't withstand even the slightest spark," Lu Ci thought to himself with a bitter smile.

Last night, Shen Man was so proactive; any normal man would lose control, let alone his body, which had just been reborn and was full of vigor.

However, to his surprise, Shen Man last night seemed different from any other time in their four-year marriage...

We should keep our distance from each other in the future...

In the corridor on the first floor, Shen Nian, carrying a canvas bag and holding a mobile phone, glanced anxiously at the clock on the wall.

It's already 7:30.

Last night at the dinner table, Shen Man confidently declared that she would personally drive her to school this morning.

But she waited on the first floor for almost half an hour, and there wasn't a soul in the entire villa except for Zhang Ma, who was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

Xu Hui didn't seem to sleep well last night and is still catching up on sleep in the master bedroom, while Shen Zongyao went out early this morning to practice Tai Chi by the river.

Shen Nian looked up at the second floor.

She originally wanted to knock on her sister's door, but her instinctive fear of Shen Man, which she had felt since childhood, made her hesitate in front of Shen Man's door for a long time before finally retreating silently.

After much deliberation, she could only muster her courage and head towards Lu Ci's guest room.

A knock came at the door.

Inside the guest room, Lu Ci stood by the window, swiping on his phone screen.

Just a few minutes ago, he received an interview invitation from a media company called "Shengshi Culture," scheduled for 9:00 AM today.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

Upon hearing the knock on the door, a fluffy head suddenly peeked out from the tightly wrapped silk quilt next to it.

Shen Man's face was flushed, and her eyes still held a trace of lingering spring fever and languor.

Hearing the noise outside the door, she suddenly realized something, slapped her forehead in annoyance, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh no! I promised to take Niannian to school last night!"

Lu Ci didn't look at her, but casually turned off his phone screen: "It's okay, I'm going out for an interview anyway, I'll go with her to school in a taxi later, it's on the way."

Hearing his cold, businesslike tone, as if nothing had happened, Shen Man's anger mixed with grievances instantly flared up.

"Why are you taking a taxi?" Shen Man wrapped the blanket tighter around herself, only revealing a pair of beautiful, resentful eyes as she glared at him. "You can take my car. The keys to the Panamera in the garage are downstairs in the entryway. You can drive that car from now on. Anyway, I usually ride with my driver anyway."

She thought that after last night's passionate, soul-connecting experience, Lu Ci's attitude would soften somewhat.

Consider this car as a way out she offered.

However, Lu Ci quickly put on his clothes and refused without hesitation: "No need. That's your premarital property. I'm leaving with nothing, so I'm not entitled to drive it. Taking a taxi is fine."

Seeing Lu Ci's indifferent demeanor, as if he didn't recognize her once he put on his clothes, Shen Man was so angry she gritted her teeth.

She poked half her body out from under the covers, her face full of resentment as she accused, "Lu Ci, you're disowning me now that you've put your pants on, aren't you?"

Lu Ci paused in his action of putting on his pants, almost laughing out of anger.

He turned his head, his eyes full of helplessness: "Mr. Shen, please get the facts straight. Who was it that came to my room in the middle of the night wearing a tank top? And who was it that couldn't even stand up straight in the bathroom and pounced on me... I'm the victim here, okay?"

Shen Man's face flushed red all the way to the roots of her neck.

She quickly shrank back under the covers, pulling them over her head completely, only letting out a faint, aggrieved mutter from beneath the blankets: "Well... I didn't see you refuse... I didn't see you being gentle either..."

Lu Ci took a deep breath, too lazy to argue with her about these messy, unresolved issues.

He quickly finished washing up and opened the door to the guest room.

"Brother Lu..." Shen Nian, who was standing outside the door, saw the door open and just put on a sweet smile. But the next second, her gaze inadvertently swept past Lu Ci's shoulder and into the room.

With just one glance, the smile on Shen Nian's face froze completely.

On the large double bed in the guest room, the blankets were in disarray, with a large bulge in the middle, clearly indicating that someone was hiding inside.

Not only that, the furniture in the room had obviously been moved. Most outrageous of all, a mahogany armchair was now prominently displayed in the center of the room, directly facing the huge full-length dressing mirror!

Add to that the perfume scent filling the air…

Even if Shen Nian was naive, she instantly understood what kind of crazy scene had unfolded in this room last night.

Shen Man, lying in bed, covered her mouth tightly, not daring to even breathe, afraid that her younger sister would hear the slightest sound, which would make her, as the older sister, completely lose face.

"Let's go. I'm going to a job interview at Shengshi Culture today. I'll give you a ride to school on the way. Let's take a taxi together." Lu Ci closed the door behind him, blocking Shen Nian's view.

"Oh... okay." Shen Nian's voice was noticeably lower.

……

Ten minutes later, the two got into a taxi.

The atmosphere in the train carriage was unusually somber in the early morning.

Shen Nian sat in the back row by the window, silently watching the street scene recede outside, her little hands tightly gripping the strap of her canvas bag.

She would occasionally turn her head to steal a glance at Lu Ci sitting next to her.

Her heart felt like it was stuffed with a tangled mess, bitter, stifling, and tinged with a kind of anger that she herself felt had no basis for.

She guessed who was in bed. Who else in this house could it be but her sister?

But they're already divorced!

Why do they still sleep together after getting divorced? Is my sister really that good?

That's true. My older sister has been beautiful since she was little, with a strong presence and a great figure... Although I'm confident that my figure is just as good as hers, in front of my older sister, I'll always just be an illegitimate daughter who can't be presented in public.

In Brother Lu's eyes, the two of them are the real perfect match, right?

Shen Nian felt increasingly wronged as she thought about it, and her eyes even reddened slightly.

She didn't know what she was angry about. Was she angry at Lu Ci's lack of principles, or at her own inferiority complex that she could never be as good as her sister?

The taxi stopped at the south gate of Jiangnan University.

"Brother Lu, I've arrived. Goodbye." Shen Nian pushed open the car door and ran into the campus without looking back.

Watching the girl's somewhat flustered retreating figure, Lu Ci sat in the car, scratching his head, looking completely bewildered.
