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

This isn't fake crying or being spoiled; it's suppressed love.

It was the grievance of being rejected countless times, and the despair amplified by alcohol tonight, all intertwined in a genuine cry.

Tears streamed down her reddened eyes like pearls from a broken string.

It splashed onto the floor, leaving a small wet patch that quickly soaked the hem of her skirt below her knees.

"Lu Chenyuan, you bastard! You bullied me!"

She cried as she accused him in a heavily nasal voice, wiping away her tears haphazardly with her hands.

But the more she wiped away the tears, the more they flowed down her fingers, making her cheeks a complete mess.

"All you do is bully me! You only know how to bully easy targets like me! I can't beat you in a fight, I can't outmaneuver you. You're strong and look fierce, so you can only take your anger out on me!"

Her cries were urgent and loud, hoarse and helpless from alcohol, like an abandoned cub, making one's heart clench.

"What's wrong with liking you? I just like you! Will hugging you take a piece of my flesh? Kissing you won't make your lips rot, so why won't you let me kiss you? You're so heartless, sob... How can you be so cruel?"

Lu Chenyuan froze on the spot, his outstretched hand hanging in mid-air, unsure whether to go forward or backward, completely dumbfounded.

He had lived for twenty-nine years, seen all sorts of people, and handled all kinds of tricky cases, but he had never encountered a woman like this before.

One second she was like a wildcat with its claws outstretched, daring to pull his collar and use the most explicit words to provoke his bottom line.

The next second, she transformed into a child who had suffered a tremendous injustice, crying without any regard for her image, her shoulders trembling violently.

This sudden change caused his rebukes, warnings, and even the urge to push her away, which he had been preparing for so long, to all get stuck in his throat, turning into a strange sense of irritability and helplessness.

"I've been thinking about you ever since we parted yesterday, all day long!"

Su Wan cried so hard she could barely breathe, her chest heaving violently as she poured out all the longing in her heart.

"I had a wonderful dream all night, and it was all about you. When I woke up, my pillow was wet! This morning, I had no energy at work. I just stared at the computer screen, my mind filled with your face. I had no appetite at lunch, and even my favorite sweet and sour pork ribs tasted bland. When I was eating dinner tonight, watching my colleagues chatting and laughing, I was still thinking about you..."

She choked up, her voice broken and intermittent, yet every word struck Lu Chenyuan's heart with clarity.

"But what about you? It's fine if you don't like me, but why do you yell at me, shout at me, and be mean to me? Why do you look at me with such cold eyes? Do you know how sad I am? My heart is breaking!"

The tears flowed more and more fiercely, and her eyes soon swelled up like walnuts. Her long eyelashes were wet with tears and stuck together, making her look particularly pitiful.

Looking at her like this, Lu Chenyuan suddenly thought of his little niece who was far away in Shanghai—

That's his older brother's daughter, only five years old this year. Whenever she doesn't get the toy she wants or the candy she wants is refused, she looks like this, with snot and tears streaming down her face, looking all wronged.

As long as she cries and makes a fuss, the elders in the family have no choice but to give in obediently.

But Su Wan wasn't his little niece; she was a woman in her twenties.

What she wanted wasn't candy, but—his kiss.

The woman who dared to show off her figure in front of him without any restraint just a second ago, turned into a little girl throwing a tantrum on the ground the next second, just like a little girl who couldn't get candy. This huge contrast was like a fine needle, gently pricking him and inexplicably loosening the hard defenses in his heart.

"Lu Chenyuan, you bastard! You're the one who seduced me!"

Su Wan cried harder and harder, and the deepest feelings she had hidden in her heart, the excitement of their first encounter, poured out with her tears.

"I've always been a heartless, ruthless person. I've met so many men since I was little, and many people have pursued me, but I've never been moved by any of them! But that day, why did you go to that barbecue restaurant? Why did you let me see you?"

"And why did you help me fight off those thugs if you had nothing to do?"

Her voice was filled with deep resentment and despair.

"If you weren't going to help me, fine, I could have run away myself! But you insisted on intervening, wanting me to see how handsome and powerful you are, wanting me to fall in love with you, to fall hopelessly in love! Now that I'm in love with you, you don't like me anymore, aren't you just playing me? I love you, Lu Chenyuan! If you don't like me, I'll just die! What's the point of me living?"

She cried loudly, her voice sharp and piercing, making Lu Chenyuan's head buzz and his temples throb.

What made him even more helpless was that, from childhood to adulthood, because of his stern appearance, powerful aura, and intimidating gaze, not to mention outsiders, even his little niece was afraid of him and never dared to cry so unrestrainedly in front of him.

But this woman seemed completely oblivious to the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him.

Not only were they not afraid of him, they even dared to throw tantrums and wail in front of him, crying loudly and venting all their grievances on him.

Overcome with emotion, she grabbed a woman's handbag next to her and threw it at him.

The bag was soft, so it didn't hit him with much force, but it carried a childlike accusation.

"You bastard! All you do is bully me! If you don't give me a kiss today, I won't let you leave! I'll block your way here and never let you out!"

"Su Wan!"

Lu Chenyuan finally lost his temper. He gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead throbbing even more violently, and his voice was low and cold, carrying a strong warning.

He was so annoyed by the noise; the woman's crying seemed to have a penetrating power, drilling into his ears and disturbing his peace of mind.

"I know you're faking it!"

He stared intently at her, trying to calm her down with his eyes.

"Get out of my way! I already have a girlfriend. There's no way I'd ever kiss you first, never!"

"Girlfriend? You mean Lin Man?"

Su Wan paused in her sobs, then lifted her tear-streaked face, her eyes red but with a stubborn clarity.

"But I heard from others that you and her never slept together, you didn't even kiss! You two don't seem like a couple at all!"

"Not having it now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future."

Lu Chenyuan's voice was cold and hard as iron. He didn't want to argue with a drunk woman about these things, but as soon as he spoke, he saw Su Wan's tears fall like a broken string.

"Waaah... You're so mean! You're really so mean!"

She cried even harder, and her shoulders shook even more violently.

"You've already provoked me, you've made me fall in love with you, and you still want to go after Lin Man! Break up with her right now! Why don't you break up with her? I just want you to break up with her, I don't want you two to be together! You won't be happy together!"
