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

……

Meanwhile, in the second bedroom of the apartment.

The heavy blackout curtains blocked the glaring morning sunlight from the window, making the room dimly lit, with only the faint sound of the air conditioner blowing cool air.

Lu Ci had actually been awake for a while on the large double bed.

But he didn't dare to move at all.

Because in his arms, the girl who had forced her way into his bed last night was now clinging to him like an octopus.

Shen Nian's body was half-pressed on Lu Ci's chest, her pure and fair face pressed tightly against his neck.

One of her arms was wrapped around Lu Ci's waist, and her long, slender, snow-white legs, which had broken free from the blankets while sleeping, were placed directly and domineeringly on Lu Ci's thighs.

For a man who possesses the peak vitality of an 18-year-old and has spent the entire night on this bed, this position is nothing short of a unique form of torture.

Recalling the torment of last night, Lu Ci couldn't help but shed a tear of bitterness.

In the first half of the night, with such a fragrant and incredibly voluptuous "treasure" in his arms, feeling its amazing softness with every breath, how could he possibly fall asleep?

That burning anger rose and fell repeatedly, and he even silently recited the "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops" several times in his mind.

It wasn't until late at night, when I was so tired that I couldn't stay awake any longer, that physical exhaustion finally overcame my reason and I drifted off to sleep.

Looking at Shen Nian, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, breathing evenly and gently, Lu Ci sighed helplessly.

I don't know if Shen Nian has class today, but I figured it's not a big deal to skip an 8 a.m. class occasionally in college.

Besides, this girl drank so much last night, and if we forcibly wake her up now, her hangover headache will definitely make her feel terrible.

Let her sleep a little longer.

Lu Ci tried to relax his arm, which had become numb from being pressed down, and let her hold him.

In the dim light, Lu Ci lowered his head slightly, quietly gazing at the face so close to his.

In her sleep, Shen Nian's long eyelashes cast faint shadows under her eyelids like two small fans, and her exceptionally rosy and full lips were slightly parted beneath her straight nose.

With each breath, the neckline of her loose nightgown inevitably slipped a little, revealing a deep, snow-white area that could drive any man mad.

Looking at this beautiful and pure girl, Lu Ci's mind uncontrollably replayed the question she had asked in the living room last night, her voice trembling with tears and drunkenness:

"If I'm so great, why don't you like me?"

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Lu Ci's heart.

If he were truly an 18-year-old, naive teenager full of romantic fantasies, he would absolutely embrace such a stunning beauty who throws herself into his arms and confesses her love without hesitation.

The reality is that although his body has returned to the age of 18, his soul is that of a man who has been married and divorced.

"You're so beautiful, so kind, with such a bright future ahead of you..." Lu Ci sighed silently to himself, "How could you be so blind as to fall for me, a divorced ex-brother-in-law with nothing to his name?"

He truly didn't know how to repay this emotional debt. He also didn't know whether he should complete the system's confession task.

Just as Lu Ci was caught in deep self-doubt and inner turmoil, a very faint yet clear sound suddenly came from the direction of the living room.

That was the sound of the electronic security door being opened from the outside.

Immediately following was the sound of high heels clicking on the wooden floor, the footsteps deliberately lowered but still producing a faint thud.

Lu Ci's brows furrowed sharply, and he instantly became alert.

A thief broke in?!

This is broad daylight! Has the security situation in Jiangcheng deteriorated to this extent?

And the thief even dared to wear high heels when he broke in?!

Lu Ci's brain was racing, and his muscles instinctively tensed up, ready to react to any unexpected situation at any moment.

He slightly moved the arm that was being held down, trying to sit up from the bed.

However, his movement startled Shen Nian, who was in his arms.

"Well……"

The girl let out a soft moan, her long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her large, sleepy eyes.

Shen Nian's brain was still somewhat malfunctioning from a hangover.

She blinked in confusion, then her gaze gradually focused.

When she clearly saw the man's jawline, with its somewhat rugged features, so close to hers, and her own ambiguous posture of clinging to him like a koala...

All the memories flooded back to my brain like a tidal wave.

Last night's drinking, crying, forceful kiss, and the crazy act of me groping my way onto his bed in the middle of the night, clinging to him and begging him not to leave—all of it exploded clearly in my mind!

Shen Nian's fair face instantly turned as red as if it were about to bleed, and even the base of her ears became incredibly hot.

Overwhelmed by shame, her mind went blank. She instinctively wanted to scream and pull away from Lu Ci's embrace.

However, before she could make any move, before Lu Ci could even remind her that there were people outside, she was in a difficult situation.

"Bang!"

The half-open wooden door to the second bedroom was violently pushed open from the outside.

The force was so great that the door slammed heavily against the damper on the wall, producing a deafening thud.

Lu Ci and Shen Nian were both startled. The two, still in that intimate and ambiguous embrace with the woman on top of the man, turned their heads in unison to look at the doorway.

At the bedroom door frame.

Shen Man was dressed in an exquisite and haughty haute couture business suit, clutching the limited edition bag tightly in her hand.

She stood there, her gaze fixed on the two figures embracing on the bed.

Her eyes were red, and her chest heaved violently with extreme anger and disbelief.

"What are you doing?!"

Shen Nian, who was on the bed, was startled by the sudden loud noise and roar.

She was already in a dazed state from just waking up from a hangover, and her brain was completely shut down.

When she saw her sister standing at the door, her eyes blazing with anger, a sense of fear that had been building up since childhood instantly enveloped her.

At that moment, she even forgot that the two of them were already divorced, and subconsciously felt that she had really committed an unforgivable crime.

She couldn't suppress her feelings and actually had an affair with her brother-in-law, only to be caught red-handed!

"Sister...Sister..."

Shen Nian turned pale with fright and, like a startled rabbit, broke free from Lu Ci's embrace and shrank to the other side of the bed.

She kept her head down, not daring to even look at Shen Man, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

Lu Ci frowned, his eyes filled with confusion and speechlessness.

"What's wrong with you so early in the morning?"

Seeing Lu Ci's self-righteous and unashamed demeanor, Shen Man's anger burned even more fiercely, as if a bucket of gasoline had been poured over it.
