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

Her fingertips were warm; you could feel the burning heat even through the fabric.

Lu Chenyuan's body tensed up again, and he tried to shake off her hand.

But seeing the probing gazes of the diners around him, and considering Lin Man beside him, he could only force himself to hold back.

Lin Man looked at their clasped arms and could no longer hold back. She suddenly stood up and said, "Chen Yuan, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Chenyuan's response, she picked up her bag and walked quickly towards the restaurant entrance.

Her back view looked somewhat lonely, even a little disheveled.

As Lu Chenyuan watched Lin Man's departing figure, a sense of guilt welled up in his heart, but he felt an even greater sense of relief.

He abruptly flung Su Wan's hand away, the force so great that she staggered back a few steps.

"Su Wan, are you satisfied?"

His voice was so cold it could drip water, and his dark eyes were filled with anger and disgust.

"You really enjoy ruining other people's dates? Have you no self-respect at all?"

"Self-esteem?"

Su Wan laughed, a somewhat manic laugh.

"In front of you, my self-esteem is worthless. Lu Chenyuan, let me tell you, I like you and I want to cling to you. Unless you agree to be my man, I will not give up."

She approached Lu Chenyuan step by step, her eyes burning and resolute, as if declaring her sovereignty.

"You and Lin Man have no feelings for each other at all. You are only together to get married and to appease your families. You have no desire or attraction for her, only a sense of responsibility. But it's different with me. You have a physical reaction to me. You get angry, irritable, and lose control when you see me. This shows that you have feelings for me, but you just don't want to admit it."

"You're absolutely unreasonable!"

Lu Chenyuan was so angry at her words that he trembled all over, and he turned around to leave.

"Lu Chenyuan, don't go!"

Su Wan grabbed his wrist, this time with great force, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

"I know what I did just now was very wrong, but I couldn't control myself. Seeing you with her made me feel bad, and I just wanted to win you back. Please give me a chance, okay? Just one month. If you still think I'm not right for you, I'll never bother you again."

Looking at the stubbornness in her eyes and that barely perceptible vulnerability, Lu Chenyuan felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.

In his twenty-nine years of life, he had never been so entangled with a woman, nor had any woman ever made him lose control like this.

Su Wan is like a malignant tumor; once you're hooked, you can never get rid of her.

He took a deep breath and tried to pry her hands off.

But Su Wan gripped him tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

More and more eyes were drawn to him, and whispers began to rise, making him feel extremely embarrassed.

"open!"

Lu Chenyuan's voice was as cold and hard as ice.

"I won't let go!"

Su Wan stubbornly looked up at him, her eyes reddening again.

"Unless you agree to it!"

The two remained frozen in place, the air thick with tension and a palpable tension.

Looking at Su Wan's reddened eyes and her hand gripping his wrist tightly, Lu Chenyuan's anger was gradually replaced by a complex emotion.

He suddenly remembered his erotic dream from last night, and the innocent kiss in the bar.

He recalled the alluring sight and warm breath she had given him when she was half-squatting in front of him.

The body's reaction grew stronger, while reason desperately resisted.

Finally, he forcefully shook off Su Wan's hand, turned around, and strode towards the restaurant entrance.

"Lu Chenyuan!"

Su Wan shouted at his retreating figure.

"I'll wait for you! I'll wait for you in front of the police station every day! Until you say yes!"

Lu Chenyuan paused for a moment, but did not turn around. He simply quickened his pace and soon disappeared at the restaurant entrance.

Su Wan stood there, watching his resolute back, and finally couldn't hold back her tears.

She knew that what she had done today was indeed excessive, even somewhat unscrupulous, but she really had no other choice.

She was terrified of losing Lu Chenyuan, terrified that he would really marry Lin Man and that there would be no place for her anymore.

The waiter approached and asked cautiously, "Miss, do you need any assistance?"

Su Wan wiped away her tears, shook her head, picked up her bag, and turned to walk out of the restaurant.

As night deepened, a cool breeze blew, but it couldn't dispel the restlessness and resentment in her heart.

She looked up toward the police station, her eyes gleaming with a determined light.

Lu Chenyuan, you can't escape.

No matter how you reject me, I will keep bothering you until you fall in love with me.

Meanwhile, Lu Chenyuan sat in his car, watching the night view rushing past the window, and irritably loosened his tie.

The lemon juice stains on the suit trousers had dried, leaving faint marks.

But the icy touch and the warmth of Su Wan's fingertips seemed to be etched onto his skin, lingering there.

He recalled Lin Man's lonely figure, and a pang of guilt welled up in his heart.

He knew that his feelings for Su Wan had gone beyond mere disgust.

That kind of physical urge, that kind of emotional loss of control, were things he had never experienced before.

He took out his phone and found Lin Man's contact information: "Where are you? I'll take you home."

When Su Wan returned to her apartment, she was still carrying the lingering warmth of the confrontation at the Western restaurant.

The red welts on her wrists from Lu Chenyuan's grip throbbed faintly, but the fire in her heart burned ever brighter—

His tense body, heavy breathing, and the instant stiffness when she touched him were all the most direct signals.

She couldn't wait to open her best friend group chat and recount the whole farce that happened at the Western restaurant.

She even made sure to do the small things, like deliberately spilling lemon water and then half-squatting down to wipe the stains.

The group chat exploded instantly, with messages flooding the screen so fast it was impossible to see them all.

[Holy crap! Sister Wan is awesome! That was such a daring move!]

[I knew Lu Chenyuan definitely had feelings for you! Physical reactions don't lie!]

But sister, that was a risky move!

Some people have raised concerns.

[Lu Chenyuan is too rule-abiding. He already considered Lin Man his marriage partner, and now you're pushing him too hard. What if he cuts off his own escape route and sleeps with Lin Man? Then you'll have no chance at all!]

【Yeah, yeah! A man with such an overwhelming sense of responsibility, once he sleeps with Lin Man, even if he likes you a lot, he'll still marry her out of a sense of duty! Then you'll have nowhere to cry!】

He and Lin Man have been dating for a year without crossing any lines, but now that you've pushed him too far, he might really go all out!

Seeing her best friends' reminders, Su Wan's smile gradually faded.

As her fingertips swiped across the screen, a wavering arose in her heart for the first time.

Yes, Lu Chenyuan is not one of those cynical playboys.

His inherent sense of discipline and responsibility were qualities she had always admired.

But now, this trait has become her biggest obstacle.

If he really does have a relationship with Lin Man in order to get rid of her, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?

This thought was like a thorn stuck in her heart, making her restless.

She took out her phone and found the profile picture of Lu Chenyuan that she had secretly saved.

Looking at his hard jawline, I felt a mix of emotions.

She didn't want to pressure him, but she was even more afraid of losing him.
