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

Looking in the mirror, a sly yet determined smile curled at the corners of her lips; she already had a new plan in mind.

She scooped up a handful of water, intending to wash her face and clear her head.

Inside the restaurant, Lu Chenyuan watched Su Wan's hurried departure and felt a strange sense of irritation welling up inside him.

He clenched his fist, his fingertips still seemingly retaining the sensation of Su Wan's grip.

That throbbing sensation, like an electric current, surged forth uncontrollably once again.

Seeing his somewhat absent-minded look, Lin Man felt increasingly uneasy.

She spoke softly, "Shen Yuan, let's continue eating."

Lu Chenyuan snapped out of his daze, nodded, picked up his knife and fork, only to find that he had lost his appetite.

The romantic atmosphere in the air had long since vanished with Su Wan's appearance, leaving only a strange sense of awkwardness and tension.

He had a feeling that Su Wan wouldn't leave so easily.

This date probably won't end so smoothly.

He guessed right.

The cold water from the bathroom splashed on her face, and the icy touch cleared most of Su Wan's muddled thoughts.

She looked at her reddened eyes in the mirror and pinched her palm hard with her fingertips—

What's the use of crying?

Lu Chenyuan wouldn't soften because of her tears; on the contrary, he would only think she was being pretentious.

In Su Wan's dictionary, the word "admit defeat" has never existed.

She touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror, and the bright red lip gloss covered her lips again, as if giving her new courage.

She adjusted the neckline of her strapless dress, making sure the cleavage was just right—alluring yet tasteful.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the bathroom door and walked back into the restaurant.

An eerie silence had fallen over the dining table.

Lu Chenyuan gripped the knife and fork tightly, his knuckles turning white.

His gaze seemed to be fixed on the steak on his plate, but his peripheral vision kept drifting towards the restroom.

Lin Man sipped her red wine, her eyes occasionally glancing at Lu Chenyuan's tense profile, a growing unease creeping into her heart.

She knew Lu Chenyuan's personality all too well; he was always calm and composed.

But ever since Su Wan appeared, his emotions have always been on the verge of getting out of control.

Su Wan walked back, her high heels swaying as she went.

This time, instead of sitting back down between the two of them, she walked around to Lu Chenyuan's side and deliberately slowed down her pace.

As she passed behind him, she tripped and her body lurched forward.

She precisely splashed the half-glass of lemonade she had just taken from the waiter onto Lu Chenyuan's suit pants.

"Oh dear! I'm so sorry!"

Su Wan immediately steadied herself, her face filled with panic, but a hint of cunning lurked in her eyes.

"Captain Lu, it's all my fault for being careless while walking and getting your pants dirty. What are we going to do about it?"

Lu Chenyuan's body stiffened instantly. The icy liquid flowed down his trouser leg, soaking the fabric and sticking to his leg, making it extremely uncomfortable.

He suddenly looked up at Su Wan, his dark eyes surging with anger, but he was speechless because of her tearful appearance.

Lin Man panicked and quickly pulled out a tissue to hand over: "Quickly wipe it off, did you get burned?"

"No need to trouble Miss Lin."

Su Wan quickly took the tissue and then squatted down in front of Lu Chenyuan.

Almost touching his thigh, her fingertips, warm to the touch, gently wiped the water stains off his trouser leg.

This pose is too suggestive.

She lowered her head slightly, her long hair falling down, just brushing against Lu Chenyuan's knees.

The warmth of his breath seeped through the thin fabric, carrying a faint scent of perfume, making his heart itch.

Lu Chenyuan could clearly see the view beneath her strapless neckline and the delicate skin on her slender neck.

That familiar heat surged uncontrollably within him again, making his whole body tense.

"Su Wan, get up!"

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with suppressed anger.

"I'll do it myself."

"No, Captain Lu."

Su Wan raised her head, her eyelashes glistening with tiny drops of water, her eyes innocent yet alluring.

"If you don't wipe this stain clean quickly, it will be difficult to wash once it dries. Your suit looks very expensive, and I can't afford to pay for it if I damage it."

As she spoke, she deliberately moved her fingers down, brushing against the inside of her thigh, her fingertips almost imperceptibly...

Lu Chenyuan's body trembled violently, as if struck by an electric current, and he subconsciously tried to close his legs.

But Su Wan held him down, preventing him from moving.

Lin Man sat opposite, watching this scene, her face instantly turning deathly pale.

Her hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but she was speechless because of Su Wan's completely unexpected expression.

She was gentle and not good at arguing with people, so she could only watch helplessly as Su Wan and Lu Chenyuan maintained such an intimate distance, feeling as if her heart was being pricked by needles.

"Captain Lu, what's wrong?"

Su Wan noticed his stiffness and deliberately moved closer.

The voice was kept extremely low, so that only the two of them could hear it.

"Did I rub too hard? Or... are you reacting to me being so close?"

Her breath brushed past his ear, carrying the scent of red wine and lemon.

The ambiguous words, like little hooks, tickled his heart, making him unbearably itchy.

Lu Chenyuan's breathing instantly became heavy, his dark eyes churning with a struggle between desire and reason.

He stared intently at Su Wan, his eyes so cold they could freeze someone to death, but his body language betrayed him—

The uncontrollable heat was even more intense than it had been in the bar.

"Stop it right now!"

Lu Chenyuan finally lost his temper and grabbed Su Wan's wrist with such force that he almost crushed her bones.

He suddenly pulled her up, stood up, and created distance between them.

Su Wan staggered back two steps, a sharp pain shooting through her wrist, but a victorious smile appeared on her face.

"Captain Lu, why are you so agitated? I just wanted to help you wipe the stains off."

The surrounding diners had already noticed the commotion and were casting curious glances at them.

Lu Chenyuan's face grew increasingly gloomy. He straightened his wet suit trousers, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Shen Yuan, shall we leave now?"

Lin Man suggested softly, her tone tinged with grievance and unease.

She simply couldn't bear the scene; Su Wan's boldness and directness left her feeling helpless and embarrassed.

Lu Chenyuan glanced at Lin Man's pale face, then at Su Wan's smiling face, and his frustration reached its peak.

He knew that his date today was completely ruined.

He looked at Su Wan, his voice as cold as ice: "Su Wan, what exactly do you want?"

"I don't want anything to happen."

Su Wan shrugged, looking completely innocent.

"I just feel that we are very destined to meet, and I just want to make up for my mistake earlier."

She abruptly changed the subject, her gaze falling on Lu Chenyuan's wet suit, her eyes filled with ambiguity.

"How about this, Captain Lu? I'll take your trousers to the dry cleaners and deliver them to the police station myself. Or, you can come with me to the nearby shopping mall now, and I'll buy you a new set. Consider it my apology."

This is clearly an attempt to continue the entanglement!

Lu Chenyuan was about to refuse when Su Wan preemptively grabbed his arm.

She gripped his sleeve tightly with her fingertips, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry.

"Captain Lu, please say yes, otherwise I'll feel guilty."
