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

Lu Chenyuan's breathing was somewhat heavy, clearly still angry about what had just happened.

Su Wan's breathing was slightly labored from drinking, and she looked at him with infatuation, her cheeks still as red as a ripe apple.

Lu Chenyuan felt uncomfortable under her gaze.

That undisguised, ardent gaze, like a burning flame, seared his skin and made him inexplicably irritable.

"Su Wan".

He finally couldn't help but speak, his voice low and hoarse, carrying a strong sense of warning.

Do you even know what you're doing?

Su Wan blinked, as if she had just snapped out of her daze.

She tilted her head, a silly smile on her face, tinged with a touch of innocent drunkenness.

"I'm looking at you, Lu Chenyuan. You're so handsome, a hundred times, a thousand times more handsome than in the photos."

Her tone was incredibly sincere, without the slightest hint of falsehood or flattery, as pure as a child praising their favorite toy.

But these words only made Lu Chenyuan angrier.

He felt that Su Wan was deliberately provoking him and intentionally humiliating him in such a frivolous way.

"Look at me?"

Lu Chenyuan sneered and swept his cold gaze over her.

"Su Wan, do you think you're so great? You dare to talk nonsense in public and lay hands on me. Don't you have any shame?"

His words were like icicles, piercing Su Wan fiercely.

Su Wan's smile froze instantly, and the infatuation and joy in her eyes faded little by little, replaced by confusion and grievance.

She didn't understand why he would suddenly say such a thing.

In her dreams, Lu Chenyuan had never spoken to her in such a hurtful tone.

"I...I'm not talking nonsense."

She defended herself softly, her voice trembling slightly.

"I really miss you, I really like you... I only touched you because I thought it was a dream, I was so happy..."

"Dream?"

Lu Chenyuan raised an eyebrow, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Su Wan, don't make excuses for your shamelessness. Do you think you can erase all those photos you posted and the things you said by simply saying you were drunk and dreaming?"

Su Wan blushed even more when the photos were mentioned.

She remembered the shower photo she had sent to Lu Chenyuan last night, and the words she had shouted in the corridor just now; her cheeks burned as if they were about to burst into flames.

But the intoxication made her lose her usual shyness and concerns, and instead gave rise to a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.

She raised her head, meeting Lu Chenyuan's cold gaze, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance, yet still resolute.

"I'm not making excuses! I posted the photos, I said the words, I just want you to know that I like you! I want to be with you!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, carrying a do-or-die courage.

Lu Chenyuan was speechless, choked by her blunt and almost shameless words.

He had seen women who took the initiative, but he had never seen a woman like Su Wan who, no matter how many times she was rejected or how much cold treatment she received, could still so frankly express her feelings.

He felt as if something was blocking his heart, making him feel both stifled and irritable.

He wanted to get angry, to give her a good scolding, and to make sure she never appeared in front of him again.

But looking into her wet, resentful, and stubborn eyes...

Looking at her flushed cheeks from drinking, his anger seemed to be doused with cold water, and he couldn't vent it at all.

"Su Wan".

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone.

"I'll say this one last time: I have absolutely no feelings for you, and there's no way we can be together. Stop bothering me; it's pointless."

"Meaningful!"

Su Wan immediately retorted, her eyes flashing with stubbornness.

"As long as I don't give up, you'll fall in love with me someday! Sister Li pursued her husband for so many years, and she finally succeeded, didn't she? Her husband even abandoned his first love and chose her! I can do it too, Lu Chenyuan, please give me a little more time, give me another chance, okay?"

As she spoke, she took a step forward, trying to get closer to him again.

Lu Chenyuan subconsciously took a step back to avoid her touch.

This action, like a blunt knife, cut deeply into Su Wan's heart, causing her to stop in her tracks and the light in her eyes to dim instantly.

Seeing his instinctive movement to avoid her, she felt a pang of sadness, and tears of grievance welled up again.

She knew she was being clingy, knew she might be annoying him, but she just couldn't control her heart.

Why?

She asked, her voice thick with emotion and choked with sobs.

"Lu Chenyuan, what's wrong with me? Am I not good-looking? Am I not physically attractive? Am I not good enough to you? Why don't you like me?"

Her question struck Lu Chenyuan's heart like a heavy hammer.

Looking at her red, swollen eyes from crying, he felt a strange mix of irritation and... pity.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say that we weren't a good match, but the words stuck in his throat.

"No reason."

He ultimately chose the coldest and most direct approach.

"If you don't like it, you just don't like it. There aren't that many reasons."

After saying that, he stopped looking at her and turned to leave.

This woman is like a hot potato; he can't touch her, he can't get rid of her, and she only annoys him.

"Lu Chenyuan, don't go!"

Seeing this, Su Wan quickly stepped forward, reached out, and tightly grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Just listen to me one more word, just one!"

Lu Chenyuan stopped in his tracks.

He could feel the pull from the hem of his clothes, and he could sense the fragility and helplessness of the woman behind him.

He was torn; on one hand, he wanted to forcefully shake off her hand and leave.

On the other hand, they were held back by the faint pull and the pleading look in their eyes.

Silence fell over the private room once again.

The wind outside the window continued to blow, causing the curtains to sway gently. Light and shadow flickered on Lu Chenyuan's body, outlining his tall and lonely figure.

Su Wan gripped his clothes tightly, as if it were her last hope.

Lu Chenyuan turned his head, wanting to hear what she said in her last sentence.

To her surprise, she still looked dazed, gazing intently at his face.

"May I...can I kiss you?"

The moment those words were uttered, Su Wan was stunned.

She turned her face away, her long eyelashes fluttering like startled butterfly wings, not daring to look into Lu Chenyuan's eyes again.

She knew all too well how he would react.

In the past, whenever she was so passionate and direct, a cold disgust would quickly rise in his eyes.

What followed were hurtful remarks like "shameless and disgraceful."

Those words were like needles chilled to the bone; hearing them once was painful enough, and she didn't want her heart to be riddled with holes again.

She didn't know why, but during a perfectly good chat, she said that.

Maybe it's because she misses him so much she's almost going crazy.

From the beginning to the end of the dinner, his image filled my mind. Now that he's standing right in front of me, how can I just give up?

Taking advantage of the moment when Lu Chenyuan moved his lips as if he was about to reprimand her, Su Wan suddenly got excited and pounced on him like a little beast that had gone all out.

She tiptoed and tilted her head back to kiss his lips.

His actions were exactly the same as last time in the bar, filled with a reckless and passionate gamble.
