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

Just then, the driver, Xiao Wang, quickly got out of the car with his umbrella.

He recognized that this was the residential area where President Shen's sister lived. Seeing the two of them in an unusual standoff in the rain, Xiao Wang immediately stepped forward alertly and blocked Gu Mingxuan by half a meter.

"Mr. Shen, do you need me to escort you upstairs?" Xiao Wang asked respectfully while keeping a wary eye on Gu Mingxuan.

Shen Man shook her head, forcing herself to maintain her last shred of clarity, and instructed, "No need. Just drive back. Mr. Gu has plenty of ways to get back; he'll find a way himself."

Xiao Wang nodded, holding his umbrella and standing still, silently watching Shen Man's slightly frivolous steps as she walked into the building's access gate until she completely disappeared from sight.

The rain suddenly intensified, with large raindrops pounding wildly on the ground.

Gu Mingxuan stood in the pouring rain like a drowned rat. He didn't chase after them anymore because he knew it was all over.

That once gentle and refined face was now twisted into a vicious expression under the streetlights.

"Damn it! That bitch!"

Gu Mingxuan roared madly in his heart.

Actually, he wasn't in such a hurry at all! Since returning to China and divorcing Shen Man, he had been taking things step by step, and their relationship had indeed grown closer. Winning her over was just a matter of time.

However, God did not wish.

Overseas creditors have been pressing for repayment relentlessly these past few days, and the huge financial holes in the Gu family's company are about to become completely unmanageable!

He needed the Shen Group's investment to save his life, but Shen Man always maintained that damned distance from him, and tonight's confession was rejected on the spot.

Desperate, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, attempting to force the issue to a fait accompli.

But now, not only have they failed, they've completely broken off relations.

Gu Mingxuan clenched his fists tightly, turned around with a gloomy expression, and slowly walked out of the residential area.

Xiao Wang cautiously drove his Maybach, slowly following behind him, until he watched the man hail a taxi at the intersection and leave. Only then did Xiao Wang step on the gas and drive away.

Meanwhile, in Shen Nian's cozy rented room.

The coffee table was piled high with grilled skewers and several cans of ice-cold beer.

Actually, Shen Nian originally planned to order a bottle of red wine at that romantic Western restaurant tonight.

After all, last time she used alcohol as an excuse to act cute and unreasonable, and even forced herself to crawl into Brother Lu's arms to sleep.

However, when she opened the wine list and saw the prices of those red wines that were often tens of thousands of yuan, she immediately felt a pang of heartache.

If it were her own money, it wouldn't matter, but tonight it's Brother Lu's treat. It's the first pot of gold that Brother Lu earned through hard work in the stock market. How could she bear to let Brother Lu be ripped off in a place like this?

So, after finishing her steak, Shen Nian's mischievous little mind turned around, and she playfully patted her stomach, suggesting that she wasn't full and wanted to go eat barbecue and drink beer!

Lu Ci thought that the portions at the Western restaurant were really not enough to fill a tooth gap, and the atmosphere was too cloying, so he readily agreed.

However, seeing that it was about to pour rain outside, the two simply packed a large amount of barbecue and took it home.

At this moment, Shen Nian was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, holding a half-glass of beer in her hand. Her pure and beautiful face was flushed from drinking, and her big eyes were darting around, her mind filled with pink bubbles.

"Once the alcohol kicks in a bit more, I can use that as an excuse to cheat again..." Shen Nian thought to herself.

"Brother Lu had a few drinks tonight. If... I mean, if he wanted to take advantage of me while he was drunk and do something else to me, should I hold back or just give in to him? After all... we haven't even officially defined our relationship yet..."

Thinking of this, Shen Nian's cheeks instantly became incredibly hot.

"Pah! Pah! Shen Nian, what nonsense are you thinking about!" She quickly covered her burning face.

It's all because a few nights ago, in order to "catch up" on what couples usually do, she inexplicably clicked on an indescribable website on her phone.

The content was so erotic and wild that she secretly peeked through her fingers at a few episodes while covering her eyes. Now, whenever she's alone with Lu Ci, those blush-inducing and heart-pounding images pop up in her mind like random pop-ups.

"I will never look at those harmful things again! Delete them! I'll delete all my browsing history tonight!" The little girl vowed firmly in her heart.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Just then, a dull and urgent knocking sounded, interrupting the atmosphere inside the room.

The two exchanged a glance.

Lu Ci put down the skewers in his hand, stood up and walked over.

The security door was opened.

When Lu Ci saw who was standing outside the door, he was stunned.

Shen Man was seen leaning weakly against the door frame, her whole body soaking wet.

She slowly raised her head, her delicate face now covered with an abnormal flush, her eyes were glazed and unfocused, and her legs were weak, making it difficult for her to even stand.

"Shen Man? What's wrong with you?" Lu Ci frowned, noticing that something was wrong with her.

When Shen Nian, who was sitting by the coffee table, heard the name "Shen Man," the smile on her face instantly froze.

A strong sense of foreboding instantly enveloped her. "My sister is trying to steal Brother Lu again!" She threw down her wine glass and hurriedly got up and ran over.

At this moment, Shen Man, who was outside the door, saw that the person in front of her was Lu Ci. The evil fire that had been suppressed in her body suddenly erupted like a volcano and completely lost control.

She let out a soft moan of unbearable longing and threw herself into Lu Ci's arms.

Two slender arms tightly encircled Lu Ci's neck. Shen Man stood on tiptoe, closed her misty eyes, parted her red lips slightly, and followed Lu Ci's breath, about to kiss him directly.

"Holy crap?!"

Lu Ciren was dumbfounded: "No, sister, are you crazy?!"

Just as those hot red lips were about to touch him, Lu Ci shrank back.

Shen Man missed her target, her head sank, and she fell heavily into Lu Ci's neck.

She pressed her cheek against Lu Ci's neck, inhaling his scent.

The scalding body temperature was clearly transmitted to Lu Ci's skin through the thin fabric.

Lu Ci felt the hot, restless body in his arms, and for a moment his hands were suspended in mid-air, at a loss.

"It's summer, but it feels like springtime, when everything is coming back to life!"

Lu Ci smelled a faint scent of alcohol on her and subconsciously assumed that she was drunk and acting crazy.

He tried to push her away in frustration: "Shen Man! Wake up, okay? Open your eyes and see who I am!"

"Lu... Lu Ci..." Shen Man nestled in his arms, murmuring the name with unbearable tenderness, her voice sending chills down one's spine.

Shen Nian, who had followed, turned pale upon seeing the scene.

She bit her red lips, and the slight tipsiness from the alcohol she had just drunk was instantly washed away.

She couldn't take it anymore, took a deep breath, and shouted at Shen Man:

"sister!!"

The sound made Shen Man, who was in a semi-dazed state, suddenly shudder.

Her movements froze instantly, and a sliver of clarity finally returned to her eyes.

She stared blankly at the surrounding furnishings, and at her younger sister standing to the side, her face full of defensiveness and hostility.

Right... This is Shen Nian's home. What am I doing? In front of my sister, and my sister likes Lu Ci. More importantly, she and Lu Ci... are already divorced!

Her remaining rationality made her loosen her grip on Lu Ci's neck.

However, the potent effects of the imported drugs could not be suppressed by willpower alone.

Even though she tried her best to control herself, the moment she opened her mouth, her voice completely changed, with a captivating, whiny ending.

"Gu Mingxuan...Gu Mingxuan drugged my drink. I...I felt safe only here, so I came here..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci's brows furrowed instantly: "Weren't you two all lovey-dovey lately? Why would you resort to such a despicable method as drugging me?"

Hearing Lu Ci's harsh sarcasm, Shen Man recalled how she had resolutely faced her own feelings and rejected Gu Mingxuan in the private room.

With tears welling in her eyes, she frantically shook her head, explaining, "No, we're not together, Lu Ci, I still love you! I was wrong before... Please forgive me, let's start over..."

Shen Man tilted her head back, her eyes filled with a pitiful mist.
