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

Seeing Shen Man come out of the second bedroom, Lu Ci stood up and walked straight into the room.

The computer is still on the table in the second bedroom.

Lu Ci turned on his computer, skillfully logged into the stock trading software, and displayed the candlestick chart of the stock he had bought.

Are you trading stocks?

Before anyone knew it, Shen Man had reached the door of the second bedroom.

Looking at the complex red and green curves on the screen, she immediately recognized it as the stock market index.

In her memory, during the four years of their marriage, she had never seen him come into contact with anything related to finance.

"Where did you get the principal?" Shen Man frowned slightly, her habitual, high-ranking, scrutinizing and lecturing posture unconsciously revealing itself.

Lu Ci was focused on the steep upward curve and had no time to pay attention to her.

"It's none of your business," Lu Ci said dismissively without even looking up.

Shen Man was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, but she still couldn't help but say, "The stock market is a deep and murky place. I know a few high-quality stocks with potential insider knowledge. If a complete novice like you plays around with these stocks, you'll easily lose money and get trapped."

Lu Ci didn't even bother to glance at her.

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Shen Man couldn't help but take two steps forward and look at the computer screen.

On the screen, the stock was all in the green, showing a promising upward trend, just like a rocket soaring forward.

However, Lu Ci's mouse was already on the "Clear All" button.

"Are you crazy?" Shen Man couldn't help but question him. From her years of business experience, she could tell that the stock was still rising.

"You should wait for this kind of good stock that is clearly overvalued; it can still rise. Selling it now would be a huge loss."

"Smack."

Lu Ci clicked confirm, and all the stocks were sold off instantly at the highest point, with all the funds returned to his pocket.

Listening to Shen Man gesturing wildly in his ear, Lu Ci helplessly closed his laptop.

He turned around, his deep gaze fixed on Shen Man, his tone revealing obvious annoyance:

"Miss Shen, I don't need you to teach me what to do. Whether I make a profit or a loss, it's all my own money, so don't worry about it."

"You should take care of yourself first. You're not young anymore, and you're the president of a group, after all."

Putting aside the fact that you usually have very little rationality and act entirely on impulse, you can't even see people clearly. I don't want what happened yesterday to happen again... no...

Lu Ci paused, then corrected, "I don't want you to drag me into the mess caused by your own stupidity. If this kind of trouble happens again, I don't mind moving to another city and staying far away from you."

If this blunt lesson had been delivered two weeks ago, the arrogant CEO Shen would have immediately lost his temper, coldly retorted, and angrily rebuked him for being ungrateful.

But at the moment.

Shen Man stood there blankly, staring at Lu Ci's impatient and indifferent expression.

Her heart felt as if it were being repeatedly sawed by a dull knife, the pain making it hard to breathe.

Because she sadly discovered that Lu Ci was absolutely right.

During this period, she really acted like an unreasonable and crazy woman, constantly causing trouble.

They hadn't even seen through Gu Mingxuan's true colors yet.

"I'll get better..." Shen Man murmured, her head bowed, her eyes red-rimmed, as if pleading, "I won't let you down again..."

Lu Ci stood up, interrupting her, picked up the computer on the table, and walked out: "That has nothing to do with me."

Shen Man's body trembled slightly.

Shen Nian stood quietly in the living room, watching the conversation between the two without saying a word.

Shen Man took a deep breath and forcibly held back the tears welling up in her eyes.

She walked out of the bedroom and awkwardly said to Shen Nian, "I'm sorry, Nian Nian, I caused you trouble yesterday."

After saying that, she picked up her bag, put on high heels, and left the rented room in a disheveled state.

……

Downstairs, driver Xiao Wang had been waiting in his Maybach for quite some time.

Shen Man got into the car, her mind a complete mess.

She leaned back in her seat and, almost unconsciously, took out her phone and opened the stock trading app.

She typed in the stock code she had just seen on Lu Ci's computer screen.

The moment the page redirected, Shen Man's cold and beautiful face was instantly filled with disbelief and shock.

Her rosy little mouth was slightly open.

Just ten minutes after Lu Ci sold the stock, which had been a bright red and surging, the market index plummeted.

The previously strong upward trend has plummeted at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"How...how is this possible?!"

Shen Man stared at the screen in shock, recalling Lu Ci's decisive clearance sale just now.

Could it be that... he had accurately predicted that this stock would crash at this point?

His move just now was an incredible escape from the absolute peak, a perfect escape from the top.

She had never seen such incredible market sense and sharp insight, even among the top traders at the Shen Group who earned millions a year...

Shen Man's grip on her phone tightened slightly.

She suddenly felt that she could see her ex-husband, with whom she had lived day and night for four years, more and more clearly, and she uncontrollably felt a strong urge to explore and understand him.

……

7 PM.

Lu Ci arrived at the Twilight Chill Bar.

Chen Feng had sent him the bar's share transfer agreement that morning.

After confirming that there were no problems, Lu Ci arranged to come over tonight to formally sign the papers.

The bar was not officially open to the public at this time.

The lobby was brightly lit, and many waiters were diligently cleaning and tidying up the drinks on the bar, preparing for the upcoming influx of customers.

As soon as Lu Ci entered the room, he saw Chen Feng standing next to the stage, talking to a striking figure.

It's Qin Meng.

Today, Qin Meng is dressed in a cool and feminine style.

She wore a fitted black short-sleeved knit top that accentuated her stunning curves.

The lower half is a high-waisted, flowing long skirt with excellent texture.

The hem of the long skirt almost covered the instep, and she casually wore a pair of strappy high-heeled sandals.

Those ten fair and rounded toes, painted with mauve nail polish, stood out against the black skirt.

In addition, her cool and stunningly beautiful face with a beauty mark under her eye is captivating at first glance.

Hearing footsteps coming from the doorway, the two turned around at the same time.

When Qin Meng saw that the person who came was Lu Ci, she turned her head and said something to Chen Feng very quickly, then turned around and walked into the backstage dressing room without looking back.
