Chapter 57: Youthful Ignorance of a Wife’s Allure
His face flushed crimson, scarlet staining his cheeks.
“Damn it! Damon swore, abandoning all pretense of decorum. He fled the bed, rushing into the bathroom. The roar of the shower drowned out his ragged breaths.
He wasn’t a teenager anymore. He i
he was past such intense reactions; his son was old enough for kindergarten. And yet, he’d just had a vivid, rather explicit dream.
He closed his eyes, the water cascading over his tense face. The dream was too vivid, too…
turbing.
Was he starved for female companionship? And why was it Jiang Wan Yue’s face he saw after dreaming about Luna?
It was absurd, ludicrous.
The ALI Math Competition finals arrived.ALI Group set up a small examination hall at Peking University, livestreaming the entire event.Addressing concerns about fairness, they aimed to showcase the competition’s integrity while boosting its popularity.
Luna stepped out of Fang’s jeep, having just dropped Zhou Zhou off at school. Fang drove her to Peking University.The majestic marble entrance loomed before her, evoking a bittersweet nostalgia.She’d never expected to return after graduating.
“No need to see me in,” she said, waving to Fang.She turned, inhaling deeply. “Divorce is wonderful!
She strode confidently toward the university. Fang stood like a statue, watching her go.She wore a nude–colored long coat, a black knee–length skirt, ankle boots, and a wool scarf, topped with a felt artist’s hat.She carried a laptop bag, radiating youthful energy.
Fang, arms crossed, wore a simple gray t–shirt despite the cool weather.His muscular physique, visible beneath his camouflage cargo pants, attracted attention.A black Cayenne discreetly parked a few meters behind him. Shane’s handsome face appeared in the lowered window, his eyelashes catching the winter sun. He watched Luna enter the university. Luna, oblivious to the onlookers, headed toward Kezhi Hall, noticing the crowd gathering in the lower lobby.
A student spotted her and tapped Wei An on the shoulder. Wei An turned, seeing Luna approach, her beauty enhanced by the golden carpet of fallen ginkgo leaves.A wave of melancholy washed over Wei An.
Jiang Qiming emerged, approaching Luna enthusiastically.
“Wan Yue, long time no see,” he said smoothly, despite barely speaking to her in the seven years since she’d married Damon.He looked harmless, a typical, unassuming professor with silver–rimmed glasses and a buzz cut. Don’t be nervous. The exam hall is heavily monitored. Just treat it like a regular test.” He paused.“I admire your courage; it takes guts to enter a top–tier national competition five years after leaving school.”
Luna smiled, her eyes cold as glacial lakes.
I admire your rise through the ranks to become a dean candidate in five years.” Jiang Qiming waved his hand dismissively. “Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just a token candidate.”

Luna’s tone shifted.“Your path may not be so smooth in the future, Mr. Jiang.” Her composure masked the rage she felt towards the man who’d stolen her research.She yearned for revenge.One day, she’d make him answer for his actions.

passed him.Her Jiang Qiming watched her go, adjusting his glasses. Once she disappeared, he muttered, “She’s so hot. I’d love to rip her dress off and pin her against the stairs. Her screams would echo through the hall.”
The young men around him visibly imagined the scene.
Wei An scoffed.“Jiang Wan Yue is pretty, but she’s had two kids. She’s probably loose.” The others erupted in laughter. They were elite students, brimming with potential. Yet, in that moment, their façade crumbled, revealing their base desires.
“Wei An, you don’t understand the allure of a wife. Once you loosen her belt, she’ll fall right into your arms.Jiang Wan Yue must have something special to keep my little brother from straying.” Wei An snorted.“ALI Group and the media have hyped her up. Once the results are announced, she’ll fall from grace. Then we’ll use a few tricks to let Professor Jiang enjoy Jiang Wan Yue’s… charms.”
Jiang Qiming straightened his expensive suit, his expression back to innocent docility. Yet, behind his glasses, his eyes held a sinister gleam.
Over a dozen cameras were focused on each competitor.ALI Group, aiming for maximum publicity, also provided individual livestreams for each participant.
