Divorced and Determined: The CEO’s Ex-Wife Fights for Love

Xiaomi's single word, 'Boss Lady', caused Lu Qin, Shen Muyan, and even Lu Xiyao to look at her with wide eyes. After thinking for a moment, Lu Qin realized that Xiaomi must have heard the little one call Shen Muyan "Mom," and from that, she concluded that Shen Muyan was the "Boss Lady."

Logically speaking, this assumption wasn't wrong. Xiaomi only understood basic social etiquette and wouldn't delve too deeply into reading people's emotions. Otherwise, she would have noticed that although Lu Qin and Shen Muyan were the child's parents, they didn't live together.

They also didn't display any intimate gestures, so it would have been clear to her that they were probably separated, and "Boss Lady" wasn't a title one could use casually. But Lu Qin didn't correct Xiaomi; it was just a name, no need for an explanation.

Shen Muyan, on the other hand, observed Xiaomi again. Previously, she had noticed Xiaomi's eyes were clean and pure, a girl without much pretense.

Now, hearing "Boss Lady" from her so naturally made Shen Muyan like her even more. This girl really knew how to talk—she had a "bright future."

Shen Muyan considered giving her a red envelope later on. Shen Muyan's mood lifted, and she smiled. Lu Xiyao tilted her little head and looked at Xiaomi, her big eyes sparkling.

Hearing the "Boss Lady" made her realize there was "business potential." Last time, the "Boss Lady" name tag got her three ice creams, so if she called Mom "Boss Lady" this time, wouldn't that make her happy?

If she's happy, would she buy her ice cream?

If one "Boss Lady" didn't work, maybe two would. If that still didn't work, she could call her in front of Dad. Thinking this, Lu Xiyao seemed to see ice cream raining down on her.

"Yaoyao, what are you grinning about?"

Lu Qin glanced at the little one, who was grinning so widely her mouth almost reached her ears, her eyes a little mischievous.

"I'm thinking about going to Haishi, I'm so happy~!"

Lu Xiyao climbed into the back seat of Lu Qin's car, eager with excitement. Lu Qin shook his head with a smile, gave Xiaomi some instructions, loaded the suitcase into the trunk, and took the driver's seat.

Shen Muyan didn't sit in the passenger seat but went to the back. Because of the "Queen's Seat," it was very comfortable to lie down. Xiaomi placed a bag of food containers in the back seat, containing fruits, milk tea, mung bean paste, ice crystal cake, and crystal shrimp dumplings for the road.

"Thanks, Xiaomi, bye-bye~!"

"Goodbye."

…

The car drove along the ring road, heading north onto the highway.

"Yaoyao, we're on the highway now, close the window."

Lu Qin reminded her, setting up the navigation and turning on the smart driving mode.

"Okay."

The little one pulled her head back inside and began playing with the tablet. Shen Muyan lay half-reclined in the "Queen's Seat," stretching her limbs as much as possible, revealing her beautiful, alluring curves.

Today, she was wearing a black pleated sequined pencil skirt with a pure white fitted Chanel T-shirt on top. It was a casual yet fashionable outfit with a touch of youthful energy—pure and regal at the same time.

Shen Muyan's long, slender, fair legs were stretched out, resting on the footrest behind the passenger seat. The car was quiet, with soothing music playing, and despite being on the highway, the road noise was minimal.

The 'Queen' was enjoying some longan, peeled by the little one, feeling quite content. She had always focused on work, and work was endless, leaving her with only exhaustion.

Wealth? Status? A sense of accomplishment?

Shen Muyan gradually realized that none of those compared to having a warm, cozy dinner with her family and child.

When Shen Muyan shared this thought with Fang Ya, Fang Ya clasped her hands in prayer, almost bowing to her and said, "My God, you finally get it!"

…

Lu Xiyao peeled a longan for herself and then one for Shen Muyan, acting sweet and obedient.

In the little one's mind, flattering a rich woman had to be done well, and ice cream was a must.

"Daddy, here's a longan I peeled for you~!"

Lu Xiyao set a small bowl of longans on the cup holder of the center console. The little one was very thoughtful, knowing that Lu Qin was the one doing the hardest work driving, so she made sure to provide the needed supplies. Lu Qin ate a few longans, they were sweet and juicy.

After finishing the fruit, Shen Muyan placed a cup of milk tea in the cup holder. Lu Qin took it and had a sip, noticing that it was already half-drunk. He turned his head, thinking it was the little one who had drunk it, but then saw that she was happily sipping from her own cup of milk tea.

Lu Qin glanced at Shen Muyan, who looked calm but had no expression. Lu Qin didn't say anything and took another sip of the milk tea before continuing to drive.

Shen Muyan appeared calm on the surface, but her heartbeat quickened slightly. Five minutes later, Lu Qin couldn't hold back and said to the little one, "Yaoyao, there's a thin blanket behind you. Could you help cover Mom's legs? She's cold."

"?!"

Shen Muyan, who had been resting with her eyes half-closed, opened them and looked at Lu Qin. Because the "Queen's Seat" was reclined, the passenger seat had moved forward. Then, a pair of snow-white, delicate legs were stretched out, and every time Lu Qin looked in the rearview mirror, he could see this beautiful and tempting sight.

The jade-like toes were together, unpolished, clean, and white. Any normal man would find it hard to resist. Shen Muyan noticed that Lu Qin's gaze was unconsciously drifting towards her legs. She subtly raised the corner of her mouth.

Lu Xiyao put down her milk tea, picked up the thin blanket, and asked, "Mom, are you cold?"

"A little," Shen Muyan said and nodded slightly, though she wasn't actually cold.

The little one covered Shen Muyan's legs with the blanket and then went back to sipping her milk tea. Two and a half hours later, the car exited the highway and drove towards the city.

Another twenty minutes later, the car reached a five-star hotel under Sheng Group. Ouyang Lin had some business to attend to, so he sent the hotel's general manager to greet them.

The manager, recognizing these guests were important, didn't dare be careless. He called two bellboys to help park the car and carry the luggage.

After a quick observation, the manager understood that this was a family of three because the super cute little one kept calling them "Dad" and "Mom."

He kindly prepared a luxurious suite for them. He escorted them to the 18th floor, showed them to their room, left his contact information, and then left, allowing the guests to rest. The suite was indeed large, with a floor-to-ceiling window offering a stunning sea view. The décor was luxurious, clean, and tidy, with a massage bathtub.

But…

There was only one large bed. Lu Qin and Shen Muyan were both silent. The manager had been very considerate, and asking for another room felt inappropriate. Lu Xiyao, on the other hand, was extremely excited. She ran over to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the beautiful sea view, feeling a sense of wonder.

"Dad, Mom, look! There's a ship on the sea~!"
