A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

At first, Lu Chenyuan was able to listen to what was being said.

Her brow relaxed slightly, and she would occasionally whisper a question like, "Which shades are popular?"

But as time went on, Xu Yue's words became increasingly absurd.

They even went so far as to suggest things like "we can arrange for a hero to save the damsel in distress," "showing weakness to evoke her sympathy," and even "forcing it on her and making it a fait accompli."

Lu Chenyuan's face darkened completely, and he immediately hung up the phone.

The moment he heard the busy tone on the receiver, he irritably threw his phone onto the passenger seat.

However—the methods Xu Yue mentioned earlier were quite good.

Cater to their preferences, make your presence felt, create surprises...

Starting tomorrow, he will take a vacation and take a week off in lieu of Director Zhang's leave to put his skills into practice.

Lu Chenyuan didn't go home. Instead, he sat in his car with a frown, staring at the lights on the roof of Su Wan's house.

The light in that window stayed on for a long time, its warm orange glow seeping through the gaps in the curtains, so gentle it was almost unbelievable.

He just stared at it quietly, smoking one cigarette after another, and soon the carriage was filled with a strong smell of smoke.

He didn't close his eyes until the light finally went out, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, his heart filled with helplessness.

If he had known things would turn out this badly, why would he have refused in the first place?

She lunged at him; he could have just caught her.

It all started that afternoon in the office.

That day, she was carrying a strawberry cake, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, but he coldly laid a hand on her...

He slammed his fist on the center console in frustration, the dull thud ringing out loudly in the quiet car.

Time passed by second by second, and every moment felt like being roasted on a fire!

The image of her feeding him strawberry cake with a fork kept replaying in his mind, like she was coaxing a child.

"Don't be upset, eating more dessert will make you happy."

Then there was the image of her hiding from him with tears in her eyes.

He wanted to slap himself twice.

……

Another hour has passed.

He got out of the car and bought a cup of soy milk and a fried dough stick from a nearby stall.

It was exactly five in the morning, and the sky was beginning to lighten.

A pale dawn was breaking on the distant horizon, and the air carried the slight chill of the early morning.

Xu Yue said that to pursue a girl, you should start by sending her flowers, taking her out to dinner, picking her up from get off work, and giving her gifts.

Su Wan seems to really like those things.

He had thoroughly examined everything in her room, including her dressing table, the bathroom, and the corners of the house.

Her home was cozy but also messy, as if she didn't like to tidy up.

The table was covered with sparkly earrings and various cosmetics.

There were a lot of lipsticks, round and square, filling an entire box.

She loves dressing up.

However, there were only a few bottles of perfume; there was only one that looked cheap, placed on the bedside table.

And her clothes, lots of them.

It seemed like the wardrobe wouldn't be big enough, so I bought an iron clothes rack.

It looks nice hanging on the shelf, but it doesn't seem to have any quality.

Most of them are dresses and T-shirts that look very affordable.

It was completely different from what his mother and sister-in-law usually wore and used.

However, the style of the lingerie hanging on the balcony was undeniably very tempting.

Lace, openwork, with delicate frills, almost exactly like the one in his dream.

Thinking of this, Lu Chenyuan choked on his soy milk, and the cough startled several sparrows by the roadside.

He finished his food in a few bites, and the greasy feeling of fullness suppressed the restlessness in his heart, making him feel a little better.

He leaned against the car door, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the exit downstairs from Su Wan's house, like a lurking beast patiently waiting for its prey to appear.

Around six o'clock, the sky was completely bright, and a few pedestrians began to appear on the streets. He took out his phone, found Director Zhang's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang twice before being answered. Director Zhang sounded very sleepy, and his voice was somewhat slurred.

"Hey? Shen Yuan? Calling so early, is there some case?"

Lu Chenyuan sat up straight, his tone becoming more respectful.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"It's nothing, go ahead, what is it?"

Director Zhang yawned.

"Has something unexpected happened again?"

"no."

Lu Chenyuan paused, carefully considering his words.

"I would like to request a week's leave in lieu of leave."

"Time off in lieu?"

Director Zhang's voice suddenly became much clearer, tinged with surprise.

"Weren't you the one who hated taking vacations the most? So many people in the team are fighting tooth and nail for a vacation, but you, you've been saving up your time off every year, why are you suddenly thinking about taking a vacation now?"

Lu Chenyuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and he was unusually speechless. In the end, he could only mumble something.

"I have some personal matters to attend to."

Director Zhang was a perceptive man. Hearing what he said, he didn't ask any further questions and just laughed heartily twice.

"Alright! You should take a break. You're always working on the team, you're going to wear yourself out."

"You couldn't take your last vacation, but now it's approved!"

"Take a good rest this week. Others are keeping an eye on things in the team, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Director Zhang."

Lu Chenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, a weight lifted from his heart.

"What are you thanking me for?"

Director Zhang laughed and scolded.

"Remember to relax and don't just think about work. Also, if there's anything you can't handle, feel free to call the department."

Director Zhang's last sentence was purely polite, because for Lu Chenyuan, there was nothing he couldn't solve.

Little did he know that Lu Chenyuan was about to encounter something that was related to his feelings.

But Director Zhang would never have considered that possibility.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the coldness in his eyes softened a bit.

There are only seven days left. No matter what method he uses, he must at least prevent her from resisting him like she does now.

He admitted that he had gone crazy and become unlike himself, but he believed that it was all worth it if he could bring her back.

What Lu Chenyuan didn't know was that Su Wan didn't fall asleep at all after he left.

She stood on the balcony, and through a thin curtain, she could clearly see his car.

I saw him leaning against the car door, smoking.

That figure was like a heavy mountain, pressing down on her heart, and it didn't leave all night.

Feeling that his gaze seemed to be fixed on her window, she hurriedly turned off the light.

I curled up on the sofa and stayed awake until dawn.

Lin Weiwei made countless calls, but Su Wan only answered one, her voice filled with exhaustion.

She didn't mention that Lu Chenyuan had forcibly kissed her, only vaguely saying that Lu Chenyuan had brought her back, and that she was now going to take a shower and go to sleep.

Lin Weiwei continued chattering on the other end of the phone, but she didn't hear a word she said. Her mind was filled with his hot breath and domineering kiss in the bathroom earlier.

I felt completely confused, as if I were tangled up in a mess.

In the end, she couldn't listen anymore, so she said a few words and hung up the phone.

I thought Lu Chenyuan would leave when it got light.

But to everyone's surprise, the car outside the window remained parked in the same spot, like a stubborn plaster that couldn't be shaken off.

Su Wan had already taken a shower, put on makeup, deliberately used foundation to cover the hickeys on her neck, and changed into her work clothes.

She stood in the entryway, hesitating several times, her fingers repeatedly stroking the doorknob, her heart pounding like a rabbit's.

I can't hide from him forever.

Last night, it was the confusion of the night that caused him to lose his mind.

But it's broad daylight now, and people are coming and going. Even if he blocks her, there's nothing he can do.

Su Wan felt uneasy, her palms were sweating, but she still took a deep breath, turned the door lock, and went downstairs with a stiff upper lip.
