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

Inside the private room, Gu Mingxuan watched as Shen Man downed the tampered glass of red wine in one gulp, the mad ruthlessness in his eyes perfectly concealed behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Mingxuan, let's call it a day. I'm really tired." Shen Man put down her wine glass and rubbed her temples wearily.

"Okay, then I'll see you out." Gu Mingxuan stood up politely.

The two walked out of the private room side by side.

As she passed through the lobby, Shen Man's gaze almost involuntarily drifted to the window seat she had just been sitting in.

However, a strange couple was already sitting there.

Clearly, Lu Ci and Shen Nian had finished their meal and left.

Shen Man's heart suddenly felt empty, and then an uncontrollable thought surged from the depths of her mind.

Did they go back after they finished eating?

What would a man and a woman do if they were alone in a room together? Would they be intimate?

Lost in her fantasies, she suddenly felt a dry mouth and a strange heat rising from her lower abdomen, making even her breathing feel hot.

"It must be because I drank that glass of wine too quickly, and the aftereffects are kicking in." Shen Man touched her slightly flushed cheeks.

Gu Mingxuan followed behind, taking in every subtle change in her body, and his smile grew even wider.

Stepping out of the Western restaurant, the air outside was stuffy.

A few streaks of lightning flashed across the night sky from time to time, and muffled thunder rumbled in the clouds, signaling that a torrential downpour was imminent.

Gu Mingxuan looked at the luxury cars parked by the roadside and suddenly slapped his forehead in annoyance: "Oh dear! Look at my memory!"

He turned to look at Shen Man: "Manman, I drove here myself today. I gave my driver, Xiao Liu, the day off, but he drank some alcohol and can't drive now. Why don't you have your driver take you home first? I'll just wait here for a designated driver."

The sweltering night breeze blowing against Shen Man's body did not dispel her heat; instead, it made her feel the fire within her burn even more intensely.

She glanced at the impending downpour and felt a pang of guilt.

After all, it was someone else's kind invitation to dinner tonight, but I was distracted the whole time and even rejected their confession.

It's really unreasonable to leave someone alone on the street before the downpour.

"It's about to rain, and I don't know when the designated driver will arrive." Shen Man pointed to the Maybach parked in front of her. "Take my car. We'll go to my house first, and then I'll have my driver, Xiao Wang, make a special trip to take you home."

Gu Mingxuan had been waiting for these words!

He suppressed his overwhelming joy and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Manman."

The two men, one in front of the other, sat in the spacious back of the Maybach.

Driver Xiao Wang started the car.

He glanced at Gu Mingxuan sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror and thought to himself: President Shen has been getting really close to this Mr. Gu lately. Is he going to spend the night with him in the middle of the night?

However, as a professional driver for the wealthy, Xiao Wang knew the rule of "don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask," so he immediately looked away.

"Xiao Wang, take me home first, and then I'll trouble you to take Mr. Gu home as well," Shen Man said, leaning back in her leather seat and rubbing her temples.

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

The Maybach smoothly merged into the traffic.

No one spoke the whole way; the carriage was very quiet.

However, Shen Man felt that something was increasingly wrong with her condition.

That initial slight warmth had now transformed into a raging fire, raging wildly through her limbs and bones!

She felt every inch of her skin screaming with an empty longing, and her body twisted uncontrollably in the leather seat.

Shen Man felt that every breath she exhaled carried a scorching heat wave.

That once cold and proud face was now completely covered by an alluring blush.

A thick mist rose in her eyes, making her gaze unfocused, and a few strands of her once meticulously styled long hair fell loose onto her fair neck.

At this moment, Shen Man shed her cold exterior as a female CEO, exuding a seductive charm.

Sitting to the side, Gu Mingxuan swallowed hard, his eyes practically gleaming with lust, as he gazed at the breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The medication is taking effect!

Gu Mingxuan glanced at Xiao Wang, who was focused on driving, and then, with a bit of boldness, quietly moved a few inches closer to Shen Man.

He stared greedily at Shen Manna's chest, which was heaving with rapid breathing, and slowly reached out, tentatively touching Shen Manna's thigh, which was covered by her skirt.

The moment Gu Mingxuan's fingertips touched the fabric of the skirt.

Shen Man, who seemed to be lost in passion, suddenly jolted and violently dodged to the other side of the car door as if she had been electrocuted.

Shen Man turned her head against the car door, and her previously hazy, watery eyes regained a sliver of clarity at that moment.

As a group president who has been in the business world for so many years, she is definitely not the kind of naive and innocent girl who has never experienced the ways of the world.

The overwhelming, abnormal reaction in her body, coupled with Gu Mingxuan's lewd probing actions just now, made her instantly understand everything!

There must have been something wrong with that drink; Gu Mingxuan drugged her!

Extreme anger and fear surged into my heart instantly.

However, Shen Man's remaining rationality told her that she absolutely could not lose her temper on the spot!

The car was speeding along, and the effects of the drug in his body were still kicking in. Gu Mingxuan was a strong and healthy adult man.

If she exposes him now, who knows what might happen in his desperation?

Shen Man bit her tongue hard, using the intense pain to forcefully maintain the last shred of consciousness.

She squeezed her legs together in pain, gripping the edge of the seat tightly with both hands, her nails almost digging into the leather.

Faced with Shen Man's warning gaze, Gu Mingxuan, feeling guilty, avoided her eyes.

A bead of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, his heart pounding like a cat on a hot tin roof: What's going on?! That drug was clearly the strongest imported one, how could she have lasted so long?!

Gu Mingxuan glanced at Xiao Wang in the driver's seat, not daring to make any further moves.

"Wait a little longer. Once the medication takes effect, she'll be delirious. As soon as we get to her house, I'll offer to help her upstairs. Once we're in her room... it won't matter if she finds out afterwards." Gu Mingxuan frantically reassured himself.

Just then.

Shen Man, who had been staring out the window trying to suppress the effects of the medication, glanced outside and saw that they were passing by Jiangcheng University.

"Xiao Wang!"

Shen Man's voice trembled slightly, breaking the silence in the car: "Don't go to Jiangbei. Turn around at the next intersection and go to the single apartment complex behind the commercial street at the south gate of Jiangda University."

Driver Xiao Wang paused for a moment, but immediately turned the steering wheel. "Okay, Mr. Shen."

Gu Mingxuan, who was sitting in the back row, was stunned when he heard this.

A single-apartment complex? What would he be doing there? As far as he knew, Shen Man didn't own any property in that area.

If she were to return sober, she definitely wouldn't let him in.

As the gate of the residential area drew ever closer, Gu Mingxuan's plans were completely disrupted, and a strong sense of unease arose within him.

The Maybach drove through the dull night and finally came to a steady stop in front of the single apartment buildings near the south gate of Jiangnan University.

At this moment, raindrops began to fall from the sky.

Inside the carriage, Shen Man felt her remaining sanity being gradually consumed by the violent heat.

She didn't even have time to wait for the car to come to a complete stop before frantically pushing open the car door and stumbling into the rain.

She didn't know why she had inexplicably chosen to come here under these circumstances.

All she knew was that she was terrified. Gu Mingxuan was a beast in human clothing who had drugged her, and the driver, Xiao Wang, was also a grown man.

In this world, the only person she felt was the safest, the one who would never hurt her, was Lu Ci.

Even though they were already divorced, all she wanted was to hide by his side and endure the terrible effects of the drug.

When Gu Mingxuan saw that Shen Man had managed to get out of the car despite her injuries, he panicked and hurriedly pushed open the door to chase after her.

"Manman! It's raining, where are you going!"

Shen Man was walking towards the security door of the apartment building, leaning on the flower bed, when she heard a sound behind her and turned around.

At that moment, even though her face was flushed and her steps were unsteady, her beautiful eyes still revealed a cold glint.

"Gu Mingxuan!"

Shen Man gritted her teeth, her voice icy: "I don't want to say another word about this today! And don't treat me like some naive girl who would compromise for the sake of her reputation!"

You should be thankful nothing happened tonight, otherwise, even if my reputation is completely ruined, I would personally send you to jail to rot in jail!

"I originally thought you were still the same Mingxuan from back then, but now it seems I'm utterly disappointed in you. I hope you never appear in front of me again!"

This stern warning sounded resounding in the stormy night.
