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

"I know you want to save face." Shen Man took a deep breath and glanced at her high school classmates who were listening intently to the gossip.

She seemed to be making a huge concession, saying in a condescending tone, "Okay, stop making a scene. If you move back now, I can give you a chance to start over. I can forgive and forget what happened before."

Upon hearing this, the entire booth fell into an eerie silence.

The high school students were completely dumbfounded. What was going on?

This isn't right! I thought it was President Shen showing off her new love to her ex-husband, but judging from her tone... it sounds like she's indirectly begging Lu Ci to come back?

Lu Ci rubbed his temples; he now truly felt that Shen Man was seriously ill.

"You've had too much to drink, really." Lu Ci looked at Su Li, his eyes full of helplessness. "Please get her out of here quickly, don't let her act up."

Shen Man's temper flared up again.

She felt that Lu Ci was simply unreasonable. She had already put a way out for him, but he was still putting on airs.

"What more do you want? I've already given you a way out!" Shen Man's voice rose a few decibels, carrying a habitual lecturing tone: "Lu Ci, when did you become so unreasonable?"

Just as the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Lin Wan, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, suddenly moved.

She put down her wine glass, stood up, and walked to Lu Ci's side.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, she naturally and intimately took Lu Ci's arm, leaning against him.

"Sister, you might have really misunderstood." Lin Wan's voice was soft and sweet: "Brother Lu sang those two songs just now specifically for me. After all... I was his first love in high school."

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

Shen Man was stunned.

Lu Ci was completely numb.

He glanced sideways at Lin Wan, who was clinging to his arm with a loving expression, and his mind raced.

When did I get a first love? Nobody told me about this!

On stage, Qin Meng, who was originally hosting the event, kept her eyes drawn to this side.

When she saw Shen Man appear, she was still marveling at the woman's beauty and aura, but when she turned around, she saw another pretty girl holding Lu Ci's arm.

"Just as I thought!" Qin Meng sneered inwardly, her gaze towards Lu Ci turning cold again: "I knew this guy was a scoundrel who had caused a lot of trouble! Look at this chaotic scene."

At this moment, Shen Man was completely bewildered by what she was seeing.

Just a few days ago, I caught him sleeping with Shen Nian, and now suddenly a high school sweetheart I've never heard of pops up.

It's only been half a month since the divorce, but it feels like high-quality women are popping up around this man like mushrooms after rain.

Seeing Shen Man's distraught and exasperated state, Lin Wan added sarcastically, "Sister, you've had too much to drink, you should go back and rest. It's not easy for us high school classmates to get together, and you're... really bothering us."

Seeing the strange looks from those around her, and with Lin Wan's provocative smile, Shen Man finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Lu Ci, you've gone too far!"

She left behind this harmless but hurtful remark and turned to walk out of the bar.

Su Li sighed and quickly followed.

Gu Mingxuan stood there, his face so dark it was almost dripping with malice. He stared at Lu Ci and warned him menacingly, "Lu Ci, I'm warning you, you're divorced. Please don't show your face around Manman again. It's better for everyone!"

Lu Ci frowned, looking at Gu Mingxuan with extreme annoyance: "Am I sick or are you? You're the one who brought her into this world! And I'm warning you, don't let her disrupt my life!"

Gu Mingxuan's face turned ashen. He snorted coldly, turned around, and strode away.

At this moment, Chen Feng walked over, glanced at Gu Mingxuan's back, frowned, and asked, "Who's this idiot?"

"A simp with a slightly abnormal brain." Lu Ci waved his hand, not wanting to explain any further.

After this commotion, the atmosphere in the booth had mostly dissipated.

Although everyone still had many gossip questions to ask, seeing Lu Ci's current state, they all wisely left.

Around 10 p.m., Lu Ci and Lin Wan were walking on the street along the river.

The night breeze was slightly cool. Lin Wan carried her bag by the metal chain hanging down in front of her, walking briskly.

She occasionally turned her head to look at Lu Ci, her bright eyes hiding a smile.

"Brother, were you upset because I interfered?" Lin Wan deliberately adopted a teasing tone, tilting her head as she teased, "We could have moved back to the big house by simply following the rules, brother, you won't be mad at me, will you?"

Looking at her mischievous expression, Lu Ci smiled and shook his head: "No, life is pretty good now, much more comfortable than before."

The two strolled under the streetlights, chatting about fun things that happened in high school.

"And you? You're so pretty, didn't you find a boyfriend in college?" Lu Ci asked casually.

Lin Wan kicked a small pebble at her feet, shaking her head with a smile: "I dated someone in college, but unfortunately, you guys are naturally dishonest. You say you like someone but don't know exactly what you like. If you can't get what you want in a short time, you'll be anxious to find the next target that you can get, just to hide your desires."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci remained silent for a moment without responding.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of a residential area.

Lin Wan stopped, looked behind her, and said with a smile, "I didn't realize we'd arrived here. My home is in this neighborhood. Would you like to come up for a drink of water?"

Lu Ci glanced at the residential area and shook his head.

Seeing that he refused, Lin Wan suddenly leaned forward and moved slightly closer to Lu Ci.

The distance between them instantly closed, and her scent, faintly reeking of alcohol and perfume, wafted over him; her alluring tone sounded especially captivating in the night.

"My cat can do backflips! Aren't you going to go check it out?"

Lu Ci was stunned.

He looked at the exquisite face so close to his, at those cunning eyes and alluring red lips.

Isn't this one of those jokes circulating online about scumbags lying to girls? How come now a girl is saying it to him?

Before he could answer, Lin Wan had already grabbed Lu Ci's hand with a smile.

"Let's go, it really can do a backflip!"

Lu Ci looked at the slender figure holding his hand in front of him.

This beautiful woman with a radiant smile seems to have a different face from the classmate in my memory who had a high ponytail and would push the snacks given by her suitors to the boy who hadn't eaten breakfast. But that bright smile has never changed.
