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

Shen Nian was led into the room by Lu Ci without resisting.

She was submissive from a young age and would even habitually blame herself for mistakes. The word "resistance" seemed to be absent from her dictionary.

So at this moment, although she found Lu Ci's excuse absurd, she still obediently let him lead her into the room.

"Math problems? This excuse is too perfunctory and too outrageous... Lu Ge has been out of school for so many years, why would he need to do math problems?" Shen Nian thought to herself with some grievance.

But when she was led to the living room and saw the review materials on the coffee table, as well as the Chinese test paper with "83" written on it, Shen Nian was completely dumbfounded.

Lu Ci touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and pointed to the review materials on the coffee table:

"Well, I was just killing time and suddenly wanted to challenge myself and find my peak knowledge level from my senior year of high school."

At this moment, Gu Xiaowei put down the book that was covering her face, forced a smile but still managed to be polite, and waved to Shen Nian as a greeting.

Shen Nian's mind was a bit blank at the moment, and she sat down on the sofa in a daze.

I had nothing to do, so I started studying?

This sounds utterly absurd.

But with such a huge pile of review materials in front of her, she couldn't find a reason to refute it for a moment.

Lu Ci carefully observed Shen Nian from the side. Seeing that the tears that had been welling up in Shen Nian's eyes had finally faded and her expression had returned to normal, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Dealing with a chaotic situation is too difficult! It's harder than solving a math problem!"

Lu Ci let out a silent roar in his heart.

However, having already said it, Lu Ci had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down between the two girls.

He picked up his pen and began working on a math practice test.

But he had long forgotten those formulas and theorems, so he had no choice but to frequently turn his head, asking the left side for help and the right side for advice.

For a moment, a strange yet inexplicably harmonious atmosphere filled the room.

A woman wearing a tight-fitting, alluring black bodycon skirt.

A young woman wearing white stockings and shorts.

Zheng Yi stood on either side of Lu Ci, their heads close together, their handsome brows furrowed, diligently helping him flip through the study guide, searching for formulas...

In the past, Lu Ci always believed that "studying in a hotel room" was an absolute lie used by boys to deceive girls.

He never dreamed that fortune would turn around, and one day he would actually put the literal meaning of that word into practice so thoroughly in a hotel...

Shen Nian and Gu Xiaowei's attention was gradually diverted by Lu Ci's barrage of math questions, and they began to seriously discuss how to draw the auxiliary lines for this geometry problem.

However, just as the three were getting into the swing of things...

"Thump, thump, thump."

There was another knock on the door.

Lu Ci could swear to God that this was absolutely the most terrifying and spine-chilling sound he had ever heard in his life, without exception.

His heart skipped a beat, and all the muscles in his body tensed up in an instant.

Although he managed to maintain a calm expression, his mind was actually in a complete panic.

Who is it again?!

Is it really true that today, Lu is beyond saving, and blood will spill in the hotel?!

Shen Nian and Gu Xiaowei, who were discussing the auxiliary lines, also froze.

Two pairs of eyes instantly fixed on Lu Ci's face.

Gu Xiaowei's eyes were full of sneers as she silently repeated the words "scumbag" a thousand times in her mind.

Shen Nian gently pursed her red lips, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with resentment.

Lu Ci was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a palace out of the ground with his toes, and he didn't dare to meet the eyes of the two of them.

He gave a somewhat guilty dry laugh, propping himself up on his knees as he walked towards the entryway, trying to smooth things over with an awkward smile:

"They might be hotel staff."

Lu Ci walked to the door and opened it.

When Lu Ci finally saw the exquisite face standing in the shadows of the corridor, he was taken aback.

Without hesitation, he instinctively tried to close the door again.

Because Shen Man was standing outside the door.

Today's Shen Man is completely different from the two girls inside who at least knew to wear a coat to cover themselves up.

She wore exquisite makeup and a black silk spaghetti strap nightgown.

Under the warm orange light of the corridor, large swathes of snow-white, delicate skin were almost dazzlingly white.

A pair of straight, slender, beautiful legs were exposed to the air, with high heels on her feet.

Seeing that Lu Ci was about to close the door as soon as they met, Shen Man's beautiful eyes widened slightly. She reacted quickly, raised her arm, and took a step forward to block the door.

She blinked her big, watery eyes and puffed out her cheeks slightly. The usually aloof female CEO suddenly displayed a surprisingly cute and endearing "mature woman acting cute" attitude in front of Lu Ci.

Lu Ci's face darkened as he looked at her.

He was already barely able to calm down the two troublemakers in the house, and if he were to let his ex-wife Shen Man, whose status was awkward, in as well, he would definitely be on the verge of extinction today.

"Is there something you need?"

Shen Man, however, didn't care about his cold face at all.

She tiptoed slightly, wearing high heels, and peeked through the crack in the door.

When Shen Man saw Shen Nian sitting upright in the living room, a glint of light flashed in her almond-shaped eyes, and a triumphant smile of "caught red-handed" appeared on her pretty face.

But then, when her gaze fell on Gu Xiaowei beside her, the smile on her lips instantly froze completely.

Shen Man took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. Her eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a righteous excuse:

"I...I'm here to see Niannian! My dad specifically told me in Jiangcheng that Niannian is simple-minded and asked me to keep an eye on her when I go out."

Lu Ci glanced back at Shen Nian sitting on the sofa, then turned his head away with some annoyance:

"Niannian is safe with me, and I can take good care of her."

Shen Man shook her head firmly, refusing to let go of the door handle.

She specially changed into this outfit today with the intention of seducing her ex-husband.

Even if she is rejected or scolded, she doesn't care, because she's already used to it.

But she never expected that her younger sister, Shen Nian, had already sneaked over.

It's one thing for Shen Nian to be here, but why is Gu Xiaowei in the room too?!

The thought of Lu Ci spending time with two girls but refusing to accept her made Shen Man feel as sour as if she had spilled a bottle of aged vinegar.

She didn't care anymore; she had to get into this room today!

Shen Man bit her red lips and said stubbornly, "No! My dad said that as the older sister, I have to take good care of Niannian."

Hearing this, Lu Ci loosened his grip on the doorknob slightly.

His mind raced, and he suddenly realized that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to "break the deadlock".

Since Shen Man has brought up the parents' position, I can take this opportunity to let Shen Man take Shen Nian back to their own room, and also send Gu Xiaowei back to the next room.

In this way, this farce can finally come to a complete end.

Thinking of this, Lu Ci turned his head and cast a questioning gaze at Shen Nian in the living room.

Shen Nian met Lu Ci's gaze.

She instantly understood the meaning in the other person's eyes.

He was telling himself to go back with his sister, Shen Man.

However, Shen Nian caught a glimpse of Gu Xiaowei sitting upright to the side, wearing a black stockings and a bodycon dress, her curves incredibly alluring.

In an instant, alarm bells rang in the little girl's heart.

If I went back with my sister...

Wouldn't that mean only Brother Lu and Gu Xiaowei would be left in this room?

No! Absolutely not!

An unprecedented courage and possessiveness to "protect food" instantly overwhelmed Shen Nian's usual cowardice.

Her beautiful legs, clad in white knee-high socks, tensed slightly. She raised her head, met Lu Ci's gaze, and shook her head vigorously. Her soft, sweet voice now carried an unprecedented stubbornness.

"I...I'm not leaving!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Man, who was standing at the door, immediately lit up with joy.

Before Lu Ci could react, Shen Man pushed the door open and slipped into the room at lightning speed.

She even thoughtfully reached behind her back and closed the door.

Shen Man brushed a strand of hair behind her ear: "Since Niannian isn't leaving, I'll stay and keep her company."
