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

"I didn't want to turn back. I was afraid of being hurt again, afraid that the grievances and pain of the past would be repeated."

Her eyes were filled with struggle and helplessness.

"But you know, when it comes to feelings, no one can control them, and they are never up to you."

"Under his aggressive advances, and his gentleness and persistence, I have fallen for him once again."

"I just realized that I have never truly let go of him. I still like him and I still love him."

As she spoke, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her tone became somewhat hesitant, yet she remained incredibly candid.

"Moreover, we've already done everything we needed to do, except for the final step."

"We've done almost everything, including kissing, hugging, and all the things that only boyfriends and girlfriends do..."

"I'm no longer fit to date other men, and I can't hold any more men back."

Her eyes were incredibly firm, and her tone was incredibly sincere.

"So, please forgive me, Commander Lu."

"My heart now only has Lu Chenyuan; there's no room for anyone else, and I can no longer give you any more chances."

He said everything in one breath.

All the guilt, all the struggle, all the determination poured out.

Su Wan felt her heart pounding so hard it was about to jump out of her chest, her chest felt tight, and even her breathing became rapid.

She was panting heavily, her fingertips trembling slightly, and her cheeks were burning hot. She dared not look into Lu Yuanfeng's eyes.

She was terrified to see the disappointment and resentment in his eyes, for that guilt would overwhelm her like a tidal wave once more.

Before Lin Weiwei and Qin Ang returned, and while there was still a sliver of space between them, Su Wan quickly stood up, her gaze falling on the LV bag in the corner of the booth.

This gift that Lu Yuanfeng specially bought for her was exquisite and valuable, but it also became a burden in her heart.

"I really can't accept this bag, it's too expensive. Thank you for your kindness and for your preference."

Her tone was full of apology, and she apologized again and again.

"It's true, really, I'm so sorry."

"sorry."

"I've wasted so much of your time and let you down."

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't hesitate any longer. She grabbed her old bag that was next to her on the table, held it tightly in her hand, and turned to leave.

She just wanted to escape this place that made her feel incredibly guilty and tormented as soon as possible.

She just wanted to find Lu Chenyuan as soon as possible, tell him how she felt, and end this unexpected and ridiculous blind date as soon as possible.

But as soon as she took a step, Lu Yuanfeng behind her also stood up.

Without the slightest hesitation, his tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

"I'll see you off."

He didn't say a single unnecessary word, didn't question, didn't try to stop her, and didn't show the slightest disappointment or resentment. He simply followed quietly behind Su Wan.

He stood tall and walked with a steady gait, still possessing that gentle yet resolute demeanor.

It was as if the straightforward confession and her resolute rejection had never happened.

"No need to see me off, really, Commander Lu."

Su Wan paused, turned around, and spoke with a tone full of unease and guilt.

Her eyes darted away, avoiding his gaze.

"I can go back by myself. It's still raining heavily outside. Why don't you stay and have hot pot with Weiwei and the others? Don't delay your meal."

"Don't call me Commander Lu."

Lu Yuanfeng's voice came through, gentle and deep, with a hint of barely perceptible plea.

"That sounds too formal, just call me Lu Yuanfeng."

He continued to follow behind her, without stopping or saying anything more.

I just followed at a distance that wasn't too close or too far.

That persistence and that frankness made Su Wan feel increasingly guilty and uneasy.

The two walked slowly toward the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, one after the other.

As he passed the condiment station, Lu Yuanfeng looked up at Qin Ang, who was carefully mixing the condiments, and said in a calm and clear tone.

"You two eat first, don't wait for us. Su Wan and I have other things to take care of."

Qin Ang and Lin Weiwei simultaneously looked up at the two men's backs, their eyes filled with surprise.

Judging from this, could it be that the negotiations have broken down?

Lin Weiwei instinctively tried to follow, but Qin Ang grabbed her arm.

Qin Ang shook his head at her, signaling with his eyes not to disturb her.

Lin Weiwei finally stopped, her eyes filled with worry, but she could only watch as the two of them walked out of the hot pot restaurant, one after the other.

Su Wan felt Lu Yuanfeng still following closely behind her, and her unease grew stronger.

She stopped again, turned around, her tone full of helplessness and guilt, and her eyes became more determined.

"Lu...Lu Yuanfeng, I've made myself perfectly clear. There's really no way we can be together. You don't need to do this anymore. You really don't need to see me off. I can go back by myself."

Looking at the guilt and determination on her face, Lu Yuanfeng felt a fleeting hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he still smiled gently and spoke slowly in a calm tone.

"Su Wan, regarding what you just said, I actually already knew half of the story before I came here."

Su Wan was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she subconsciously asked.

"You...you know?"

"Yes, Qin Ang has already told me."

Lu Yuanfeng nodded slightly, his tone calm.

"He told me that there is someone in your heart, someone you once did anything for, and someone who also hurt you, which is why you are thinking of going on blind dates to escape the past."

"However, I was completely unaware of the latter half."

His gaze remained fixed on Su Wan, the gentleness in his eyes undiminished, replaced by a newfound determination and unwavering resolve.

"But regarding what you said about what happened between you and him... I want to tell you that I don't have a virginity complex, I don't care about the past, all I care about is you as a person."

He paused slightly, his tone becoming increasingly firm, and spoke clearly, word by word.

"Besides, aren't you actually together with him yet?"

Having said all that, his meaning was self-evident.

Even if she had feelings for someone else, even if she hasn't let go yet, he's unwilling to give up. He still wants to fight for it and give each other a chance.

Su Wan was completely stunned, staring blankly at Lu Yuanfeng, her eyes filled with disbelief and a deep sense of guilt.

She never imagined that Lu Yuanfeng would be so open-minded and tolerant. Even though he knew everything and she had rejected him so decisively, he still refused to give up and was still willing to give her a chance.

That sincerity and tolerance made her feel ashamed, and also strengthened her resolve.

She couldn't hold him back any longer, and she couldn't give him any more unwarranted hope.

Just then, the elevator doors in the mall slowly opened, their ding-dong breaking the silence between the two.

As if grasping at a lifeline, Su Wan quickly averted her gaze, no longer looking at Lu Yuanfeng, and strode into the elevator, wanting only to escape from this place as soon as possible, to escape this tenderness that made her feel so guilty.
