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

"I want to know, before me, who else has ever been kind to you?"

"and then?"

Su Wan asked softly.

"Then, I want to know how he loves you, whether he loves you more than I do now. If I'm not doing enough, I'll treat you twice as well, understand?"

His voice was low and tinged with embarrassment.

"It's not the kind of thing you're thinking about, but the thought that someone once kissed you, hugged you, and held your hands... makes my heart ache and I feel really bad."

Su Wan was stunned.

She looked at Captain Lu, who was twenty-nine years old and appeared ruthless and omnipotent to outsiders, but was now talking to her in an extremely serious tone about trivial matters that only teenagers would care about.

She suddenly felt relieved.

Especially the panic in his eyes, the look of fear that she was really angry.

In the sunlight streaming through the window, his handsome face was filled with insecurity, even a hint of inferiority.

He was afraid that she had indeed had a more outstanding and gentler ex than him.

Su Wan suddenly smiled, and her previous grievances and anger vanished in an instant.

This was just a small episode in their relationship.

She reached out and gently tapped his forehead, then poked his chest with her fingertips.

"Lu Chenyuan, I can see it. You lack confidence; you're afraid..."

Before she could finish speaking, he pulled her tightly into his arms again, so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

She pressed herself against his chest and could clearly hear his rapid heartbeat.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I'm worried, I'm scared."

"I'm afraid that after we get together, a better and gentler ex will suddenly appear."

"I'm also afraid that someone better than me will come to love you in the future, like Lu Yuanfeng, who will always try to steal my lover."

Su Wan felt both amused and heartbroken, and could no longer laugh.

She gently pushed him away and looked intently into his eyes.

His eyes held genuine unease and fear, the kind of anxiety that fears the whole world will be taken away if he lets go.

My heart, which was just feeling down, instantly melted into a puddle of water.

She reached out and gently stroked his face, her fingertips brushing against his tense jaw.

Why would you think that way? You're already very good and excellent.

"I was the one who pursued you first, I was the one who fell for you first, you should be very confident."

Lu Chenyuan closed his eyes, his voice hoarse.

"I had a nightmare last night."

"I dreamt that we were about to get married, and then you suddenly told me you wanted to break up, saying I wasn't romantic and that I had treated you badly in the past."

"Then you left with Lu Yuanfeng without looking back."

"I woke up and found you lying next to me, but I just couldn't fall back asleep."

Su Wan was taken aback.

"So...you were really messing with me last night?"

Is this the reason why he wouldn't let her go all night?

"It's not just that."

Lu Chenyuan admitted in a low voice, his tone revealing an unprecedented vulnerability.

The more I have you, the more I feel unworthy of you.

"Everyone says my family is well-off, the Lu family of Shanghai. Anyone who marries into this family is marrying up."

"I used to think so too, that my sister-in-law was marrying above her station, and that Lin Man was marrying above her station by being with me."

But when I'm with you, I'm not sure anymore.

"I suddenly realized that it's not that you're lucky to be with me, it's that I... am not good enough for you."

He took a deep breath and blurted out everything he had kept hidden in his heart for so long.

"Putting aside family background and status, there's nothing about me that you should be proud of."

"I have a bad temper, I'm not romantic, I'm stubborn, and when I get stubborn, I don't care about anything."

"Last time, I almost got you killed."

"I lose my mind the moment I see you standing with Lu Yuanfeng."

"I get jealous as soon as I hear that you may have held hands or hugged other boys, and I feel so suffocated."

"I don't want to become like this. I was never like this before."

"But for some reason, these emotions have been bothering me lately, pulling me apart, and keeping me awake."

He looked at her with an almost pleading earnestness in his eyes.

"Wanwan, tell me, will you love me forever and stay with me forever?"

"Does accepting my gifts, spending my money, and wearing the ring I bought you mean you won't leave me?"

"If I keep treating you well and always satisfy your needs, will you never think of other men? Will you never abandon me?"

In one breath, Lu Chenyuan laid bare all the vulnerabilities he had kept hidden deep in his heart, vulnerabilities he had never told anyone before, in front of Su Wan.

The reason he exerted so much force was not simply to possess, but rather the fear of losing him, which forced him to use this method to confirm his identity.

She's still here; she truly belongs to him.

The two weeks of no contact beforehand, and her subsequent resistance, were like a thorn stuck in his heart.

Even now that they are in a confirmed relationship and very close, he still doesn't feel secure.

Su Wan looked at him, unable to smile anymore, her eyes gradually welling up with tears.

In the swirling sunlight, this twenty-nine-year-old man, standing before her, resembled a helpless young man, afraid of being left behind, his eyes brimming with tiny, glistening tears.

Carrying a sense of gain and loss.

He begged her for a promise, begged her for a future, begged her to promise him a lifetime.

Su Wan looked at him, and as she looked, she suddenly smiled.

But as she laughed, tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably, landing on her clothes and leaving small damp patches.

Lu Chenyuan's handsome face was filled with anxiety as he stared at her intently, waiting nervously for her answer.

"fool."

She suddenly reached out, grabbed his collar tightly, and pulled him down forcefully.

This was the first time she had ever taken the initiative to hug this tall, strong man tightly.

She gently pressed his head down and buried his face in her chest.

Like a mother embracing a frightened child, she held him gently yet firmly.

"You idiot, how could you ask such a childish question? You made me cry."

"You know what? You're the best."

"You're not as unlikable as you think, and I'm not the kind of person you believe I would run off with just anyone."

Warm tears soaked her skin, seeping through her thin black slip dress and burning into her heart.

That was Lu Chenyuan, a tough and unyielding man who never showed weakness, crying in her arms.

Su Wan gently hugged him, her fingers running through his slightly stiff black hair, stroking it gently, stroke by stroke.

"Don't worry, I will never have an affair in my life."

Being with you is the happiest thing in my life.

"Being able to shower, sleep, and eat with you is the most wonderful thing in my life."

"Just like the lyrics say—the most romantic thing I can imagine is growing old with you."

"Why do you have such thoughts? Why are you so worried about gains and losses?"

"You are already very outstanding. You have a good job, a good family background, and you are a reliable person."

"And you should know that what I'm attracted to is never your external qualities; what I'm attracted to is you as a person."

"Therefore, you should be more confident."

"You have such a wonderful inner quality and such a beautiful outer appearance. If I leave you, who else can I go to?"

"Aren't you right?"

Many people like me, but you are the only one who truly loves me and gives me a sense of home.

"Being by your side, I feel safe and secure; it's like... I've finally found a home."

At this point, Su Wan also broke down in tears.
