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

He quietly kicked Xiao Qu's butt and scolded her in a low voice.

"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting! Captain Lu kindly treated us to dinner today, so say something auspicious and stop spreading rumors."

"oh."

Xiao Qu scratched the back of his head, still looking completely bewildered.

He scratched his head, wondering to himself: He didn't seem to have said anything wrong, so why was he scolded and kicked?

The group smoothed things over and, laughing and joking, headed towards the private room at the farmhouse restaurant.

Lu Chenyuan stopped in his tracks, watching Su Wan walk towards him with tender eyes.

Her steps were a little unsteady, clearly she had just woken up and hadn't fully recovered yet.

He quickly stepped forward to greet her, extending his hand and speaking gently.

"Come here, let me hug you."

"No need for you to carry me, I'm strong enough."

Su Wan's legs were indeed a little weak when she first got off the bus, but after taking a couple of steps, she felt much more at ease.

She laughed and dodged his hand, then grabbed his outstretched arm. Her gaze inadvertently fell on the pond beside them, and she instantly remembered everything that had happened here last time.

She jumped into the river, he saved her, and there were moments of despair and joy.

She couldn't help but reach out and pinch his arm hard—a real pinch, quite forceful, enough to show the little resentment in her heart.

Lu Chenyuan wasn't in any pain at all. He was strong and healthy, and this amount of force was nothing to him.

He didn't want to say anything, but seeing Su Wan's sullen expression, he suddenly guessed what she was thinking.

She must have thought of the unpleasant things that day, just like him, which is why she wanted to pinch him to vent her frustration.

If he doesn't pretend to be in a lot of pain, she might have nowhere to vent her anger and become unhappy again.

So, Lu Chenyuan deliberately exaggeratedly exclaimed "Ouch!" with a tone full of "pain" but his expression carried a hint of genuine grievance, making for a very lifelike performance.

Su Wan didn't realize he was faking it at all. When she saw him cry out in pain, she immediately giggled, and most of the resentment in her eyes vanished instantly. She raised her little face and gave a haughty snort.

"Hmph, I hope it hurts to death! Who told you to ignore me before, and almost get me hurt..."

Before she could utter the word "drowning," Lu Chenyuan abruptly silenced her with a kiss.

He suddenly pulled her into his arms, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist, kissing her passionately, with a mix of urgency, lingering fear, and an irresistible possessiveness, as if he wanted to meld her whole being into his body.

He reluctantly released Su Wan only when she was almost breathless from the kiss and her face was flushed red. He pressed his forehead against hers, his breathing still a little rapid.

"Wanwan, don't joke like that, and don't say the word 'death'."

Lu Chenyuan looked into her eyes, his expression serious and solemn.

"I'm scared."

Seeing his tense and serious expression, the little bit of resentment Su Wan had left in her heart instantly vanished.

She nodded gently, responding softly in a gentle voice.

"Okay, I won't say anything more."

After saying that, she quietly took his hand, their fingers intertwined, and they walked slowly towards the private room of the farmhouse.

After all, it hadn't been too long since their last visit, and most of the staff at the farmhouse still recognized them.

After all, Lu Chenyuan was exceptionally handsome, with a tall and straight figure and outstanding temperament, while Su Wan was also beautiful, with lively eyes and fair skin.

The two stood together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, very eye-catching, the kind of people you can remember at a glance and who are hard to forget.

So, the waiters huddled together and started whispering among themselves.

"See that? It's that girl who was chasing after a guy last time, and the guy she was chasing after."

"Look at them, they're together now, aren't they?"

"Wasn't there another woman there before? She looked like she worked at an office, quite refined. What happened to her? Did she get dumped?"

"Probably. It seems this girl really went all out to win him over. She's ruthless."

Their murmurs were very quiet and hushed, and Lu Chenyuan and Su Wan, who were walking ahead, didn't hear them at all.

The waiters huddled together and discussed for a while, then dispersed to continue with their own tasks after watching the two enter the reserved private room.

"Come on, Captain Lu, it's your treat today, you order!"

As soon as the two entered the private room, Xiao Li immediately greeted them with a smile, handing the menu to Lu Chenyuan in a respectful and enthusiastic tone.

"Look, we don't know what our sister-in-law likes to eat, so we don't dare to order anything randomly."

Lu Chenyuan took the menu without hesitation and began to carefully flip through it, his eyes focused as he meticulously selected each dish, as if he were handling some important task.

Su Wan sat down next to him, watching his serious expression, and secretly competed with him.

I'll remain silent and see if you truly know what I like to eat and if you really care about my preferences.

A short while later, Lu Chenyuan put down the menu and spoke to the waiter in a natural and confident tone.

"Braised pork ribs, turtle hot pot, and make it extra spicy."

"There's also dry pot spicy chicken, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and stir-fried eggs with green peppers."

"I'd like a beef patty as my main dish."

After saying that, he turned to his colleagues and added with a smile.

"These are all your sister-in-law's favorite dishes. As for the rest, you can order whatever you want. Don't worry about saving me money today. Order whatever you like."

"Alright!"

Xiao Li and his friends immediately took the menu and excitedly gathered together to add more dishes, muttering that they wanted to order a few more hearty dishes.

Lu Chenyuan casually handed the car keys to Xiao Li and gave him a nonchalant instruction.

"Oh, right, I have cigarettes and alcohol in my trunk. Go get them, one pack of cigarettes for each of you, and three bottles of baijiu."

He paused, his tone calm.

"You guys drink as much as you want tonight, have a great time, I won't drink."

"ah?!"

The group immediately erupted in chaos, creating a commotion.

"Captain Lu, how can you not drink?"

"You're treating tonight, how can you not drink!"

"Several of us squeezed into one car to come here just so we could drink with you tonight."

"What's the point of this meal if you don't drink?"

"If you don't drink, we're all leaving now. We're not going to give you any face!"

Seeing that they were making a big fuss, Lu Chenyuan subtly shifted his gaze to Su Wan beside him.

"They're making you drink, why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Wan's heart skipped a beat. Her first thought was, "Could he be trying to get me to shield him from the bar?"

But then she thought about it again and immediately understood.

He wasn't asking for her help; he was seeking her consent.

Sure enough, the next second, Lu Chenyuan asked in a low voice.

"Can I drink it, Wanwan?"

"what?"

Su Wan was a little unaccustomed to it and was slightly stunned.

Does he really need to ask her opinion before he drinks?

"Oh...so he's henpecked!"

"I'm afraid my sister-in-law will scold me when she gets back, haha!"

"If Sister-in-law Wanwan doesn't give the order, Captain Lu won't dare to drink!"

Everyone immediately burst into laughter, making jokes without any malice, and winking at each other.

"Sister-in-law, please tell Captain Lu, is it okay to drink tonight?"

"If Captain Lu doesn't listen to orders, will he have to kneel on a washboard when we get back?"

The lively teasing echoed, making Su Wan's cheeks flush and her ears turn bright red.

She never expected that this group of people would be so disruptive and cause such a ruckus.

Seeing that Su Wan was embarrassed and her face turned red, Lu Chenyuan immediately switched to his wife-protecting mode and scolded her with a stern face.

"Shut up, all of you! Hurry up, Li, get in my car and get your stuff!"

"You two, you're just trying to cause trouble because I'm in a good mood, aren't you?"

"No, no, Captain Lu, we wouldn't dare, hehe."

Seeing that Lu Chenyuan was seriously protecting Su Wan, the group immediately lowered their voices and dared not make any more noise.

Lu Chenyuan then turned his gaze to Su Wan, his eyes gentle, and asked the same question that hadn't been answered earlier—

Is it drinkable? Or not?

Looking into his expectant and earnest eyes, Su Wan felt a surge of warmth in her heart and whispered.

"Then...then you should drink less. Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health."
