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

I really don't have time to go and intercept him today.

The group purchase contract for the river-view villas that was agreed upon with Party A yesterday is to be signed today.

This was a big order that she had worked through several sleepless nights to secure, and she couldn't afford to be careless at all.

Love is important, but you can't lose your livelihood.

I have to pay my mortgage and car loan, and I have to make a living. I can't starve just to chase after a man.

Su Wan quickly got ready, choosing a smart white shirt and black suit pants.

She put on a sophisticated work makeup look that retained a touch of vibrancy while adding a professional feel.

When I drove to the company, my colleague had already prepared the contract text.

The communication between the two parties went very smoothly, and all the details were finalized and signed before noon.

"Su Wan, thank you so much today! Otherwise, we wouldn't have gotten the 20% discount."

The client's representative, Sister Li, smiled warmly and grabbed her hand.

"I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight at that eco-friendly farmhouse in the suburbs. Your whole department has to come, especially you—you absolutely can't miss it!"

Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively wanted to refuse—

She was even planning to ambush Lu Chenyuan downstairs at the police station that night.

But Sister Li held her hand tightly, her eyes filled with longing.

"We hit it off immediately, like sisters! You have to have a couple more drinks with me tonight!"

Su Wan knew perfectly well that Sister Li wasn't really close to her; she was clearly after Su Wan's drinking capacity.

Over the years she's worked in real estate sales, she's fought many tough battles at drinking parties, and her reputation for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk has long been established.

But since she had accepted the money and gifts, she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, Sister Li, I'll definitely be there tonight!"

In the evening, Su Wan changed into a dress so that it would be easier to eat and drink, as her shirt and trousers were too tight.

After a bumpy hour-long drive, Su Wan was still thinking about Lu Chenyuan as she and her colleagues entered the farmhouse.

This farmhouse restaurant is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a tranquil environment and wooden private rooms.

As she walked down the corridor, she stopped in her tracks when she passed the next private room and saw several familiar figures.

"Hey? Weren't you the girl who was looking for Captain Lu at that little restaurant the other day?"

A young man in casual clothes was the first to recognize her, his tone carrying a hint of curiosity but no malice.

Su Wan stared at the faces for a few seconds, and finally remembered—

They were the colleagues who had teased Lu Chenyuan that day at the small restaurant in the old alley.

She simply smiled openly and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, it's me. My name is Su Wan. I'm Lu Chenyuan's suitor, and I'm planning to win him over. I'll have to ask you guys for help in the future!"

Her bluntness made everyone in the private room laugh and start commotion.

"Well done, Miss Su! You've really got the guts to steal someone's love!"

"Captain Lu is like an iceberg. If you can melt him, we'll all be your wingmen!"

"Exactly! Captain Lu is almost thirty and has never had a serious relationship. We're all worried about him!"

"Having a girlfriend is practically the same as not having one. We're rooting for you."

Su Wan was touched by their enthusiasm and thanked them with a smile before entering her private room.

Not long after, Sister Li arrived with the client's people.

A group of people started their meal in a lively atmosphere, with the clinking of glasses and laughter filling the air.

Su Wan wasn't really in the mood for socializing, but she couldn't resist Sister Li's constant toasts, so she had no choice but to drink one glass after another.

After a few glasses of baijiu, Sister Li became more talkative, and she put her arm around her shoulder and started to cry.

"Su Wan, let me tell you, a woman should never look for a man she loves, but rather a man who loves her..."

She went on and on about her marriage.

She said that she married her ex-husband, who didn't love her, against her family's wishes, and devoted herself to him for ten years.

In the end, he was abandoned and is now all alone, with no one to talk to.

"I was so foolish. I thought that as long as I loved him enough, he would eventually be moved. And what happened?"

Sister Li's tears fell into the wine glass, making it cloudy and murky.

As Su Wan listened, her heart inexplicably clenched, as if something had pierced it.

Isn't that exactly what she is like?

Knowing that Lu Chenyuan had a girlfriend and that he didn't like her, she still rushed towards him like a moth to a flame.

What if I end up like Sister Li in the end?

This thought weighed heavily on her mind, and she drank even more heavily.

Before she knew it, she had drunk too much and her head was spinning.

The figures in front of me began to sway, and the noise around me became blurry.

At that moment, Lu Chenyuan had just parked his car in the parking lot of the farmhouse.

He never attends private dinners with colleagues, but today is Lao Li's birthday—

This veteran detective has worked at the unit for over twenty years and is known for his integrity.

He had even saved his life during a mission, and he always held him in high esteem, turning down all his work and driving over to see him.

As you walk into the wooden corridor of the farmhouse, the air is filled with the aroma of food and a faint scent of herbs and plants.

As I passed a private room, I heard a lot of noise coming from inside, including a woman's cries and shouts of urging others to drink.

He frowned subconsciously, but didn't stop walking, heading straight for the private room his colleagues had booked.

Unbeknownst to him, in the next private room, the woman who had been causing him such unease was completely drunk, her mind still churning with conflicting emotions about him.

Inside the private room, his colleagues were getting impatient, and they immediately started making a fuss when they saw Lu Chenyuan enter.

"Captain Lu, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you to start the meal!"

Lu Chenyuan took off his coat and casually draped it over the back of the chair, revealing a black T-shirt underneath. His broad shoulders and narrow waist were even more clearly defined under the light.

He pulled up a chair, sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

His gaze inadvertently swept towards the direction of the next private room, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

For some reason, the sounds coming from that private room felt strangely familiar.

"Captain Lu, what are you daydreaming about?"

His young colleague next to him gave him a push.

"Old Li is waiting for you to offer him a toast!"

Lu Chenyuan snapped out of his daze, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, picked up his wine glass, stood up, and walked towards Old Li, who was in the main seat.

Happy birthday, Brother Li.

The atmosphere at the table gradually became lively, with toasts being exchanged and laughter filling the air.

But Lu Chenyuan seemed somewhat distracted.

The sounds from the next private room kept coming over, especially the woman's voice that sounded like she was crying, which always made him inexplicably upset.

He thought of Su Wan, and of her drunken state in the bar.

Remembering her vulnerability when she shed tears, a strange thought arose in my mind.

What is she doing right now? Is she still thinking about how to pester him?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he forcibly suppressed it.

He picked up his glass and took a big gulp of baijiu.

The spicy liquid burned my throat, but it still couldn't dispel the irritation in my heart.

Meanwhile, in the private room next door, after several rounds of drinks, the atmosphere had already reached its peak.

Someone suggested going to karaoke, and as soon as the old sound system was plugged in, Sister Li, who was drunk, grabbed the microphone.

She gripped Su Wan's hand tightly, her fingertips icy cold and trembling from the alcohol.

"Su Wan, what was the song you sang at your company's annual party last year... what was it called again? It was so good, please sing it again, please."
