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

Shen Wanyu was stunned, a look of surprise on her face, as if she were seeing her youngest son for the first time.

She glanced at Lu Chenyuan several times before turning to Lu Zhenguo without any hesitation and exclaiming in surprise.

"Old Lu, did you hear that? Our Shen Yuan, who's usually as tough as iron, has blossomed! He's starting to care about and cherish people!"

"You used to say that he wouldn't be able to find a wife when he grew up, and if he did, he'd beat her away. I think that's not true at all! He loves his wife so much!"

She spoke with a mix of joy and frankness, her gaze lingering on Lu Chenyuan, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Chenyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all, and just looked at Shen Wanyu indifferently.

"Okay, Mom, stop staring at us."

"I've been working hard every night these past few days, so please have the housekeeper cook some more nourishing food for me to eat after dinner."

"Ah...are you tired?"

A knowing yet ambiguous interest flashed quickly in Shen Wanyu's eyes.

She bypassed Lu Chenyuan, her gaze subtly sweeping over Su Wan's neck, immediately noticing several faint red marks, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Oh my!

The bite marks on his neck—

Hey, he's got a knack for being just as explosive as his father was back in the day!

"mom--"

Looking into her eyes, Lu Chenyuan knew what she was thinking and sighed helplessly.

"You go in first."

After he finished speaking, he squatted down and, ignoring Su Wan's quiet resistance, carefully changed her shoes.

Even without looking up, one could imagine how red Su Wan's face had become.

Shen Wanyu then smiled and responded.

"Okay."

The servants followed them into the house and began to quickly bring out dishes from the kitchen.

Su Wan changed her shoes and followed Lu Chenyuan into the house, where she was once again amazed by the understated yet extremely luxurious atmosphere.

However, this time, the impact wasn't as great as when she first entered the courtyard. With Lu Chenyuan holding her hand, she felt much more at ease.

She was still a little reserved. When she walked to the dining table and saw that not all the dishes had been served, she instinctively wanted to go to the kitchen to lend a hand.

Shen Wanyu saw it immediately and quickly grabbed her.

"Hey, silly child, where are you going? Did you do all the housework in Seoul?"

"That won't do. Our hands, as women, need to be well cared for, not used for such rough work."

After saying that, she gave her youngest son a reproachful look, blaming him for not knowing how to be considerate.

Su Wan was afraid that she would misunderstand Lu Chenyuan, so she quickly explained.

"That's not true. Lu Chenyuan didn't ask me to do anything."

"I felt embarrassed because it was my first time visiting their home, so I felt I had to do something."

"Oh, silly girl, you don't need to do anything."

Shen Wanyu squeezed her hand.

"Sitting down and eating properly is the proper thing to do."

"You've been on the road for ten hours, aren't you tired? Besides..."

Her gaze lingered ambiguously around Su Wan's neck once more.

Su Wan instantly realized what she was looking at, and her face flushed bright red.

Startled, she abruptly raised her hand to cover her neck, and hurriedly tried to explain in a low voice.

"Uh, it's nothing, it's just... a mosquito bite."

"Oh my, hahaha, you're so cute, I really like you."

Shen Wanyu burst into laughter at her appearance, and finally understood why her son liked this girl so much.

This personality is so interesting.

She looks generous and lively, but she can be quite silly when she's shy.

She is not coy, pretentious, or scheming, unlike some local girls who are sophisticated yet shrewd.

With a wife like that, her youngest son's good fortune is yet to come.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Wanyu became even more satisfied with Su Wan.

He was filled with affection and held her hand tightly as they sat down at the large round table made of rosewood.

Lu Chenyuan immediately followed and sat down close to Su Wan, afraid that she might feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

By this time, the dishes had been served one after another, and the servants quietly stepped aside, waiting for instructions.

The whole family was seated, but Shu Yue was still standing outside the door and hadn't come in.

Shen Wanyu glanced at the door, her eyes dimming slightly, and whispered to the maid beside her.

"Go and call Yueyue in."

"I don't know what's wrong with her these past few days. She's lost her appetite and hasn't been sleeping well. A few days ago, she even sent the child back to her parents' house and took a day off specifically for the child. I don't know why."

At this point, her high spirits from seeing Su Wan subtly faded a bit.

A short while later, Shu Yue was invited in by the maid. She silently sat down in the empty seat and didn't say much throughout, her expression indifferent.

The family finally started eating.

Just as Su Wan raised her hand to pick up some food, Lu Chenyuan gently pressed down on her wrist.

"Don't move, I'll do it."

His voice was deep, gentle, and natural.

"Tell me what you like to eat, and I'll get it for you."

In front of his parents and sister-in-law, he made no attempt to hide his affection for her, openly and blatantly protecting her.

Shen Wanyu saw this and her smile deepened.

Lu Zhenguo glanced at the two of them but didn't say anything, remaining as taciturn and serious as ever.

Su Wan wasn't afraid of him at all, only slightly uneasy.

After all, it was my first time visiting such a family and my first time having a formal meal with the elders.

She subconsciously became much more proper, unaware of whether the Lu family had a rule against talking during meals.

She simply lowered her head quietly and ate the food that Lu Chenyuan had put in her bowl.

Lu Chenyuan ate very slowly, chewing each bite carefully.

Su Wan quietly noticed that he was acting differently than when they had a casual meal together in Seoul.

He was clearly slowing down on purpose, waiting for her.

A warm feeling quietly washed over me again.

Overall, the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite warm and harmonious.

The servants were tidying up nearby when one of them stepped forward and quietly asked Shen Wanyu.

"Madam, how should we categorize the gifts that the second young master and second young mistress brought back, and which storeroom should we put them in?"

Shen Wanyu's face immediately lit up with a smile when she saw the exquisitely packaged gifts, and she spoke gently to Su Wan.

"You're too kind, child, buying so many things for your parents, really..."

Seeing how happy she was, Su Wan acted impulsively and blurted out the words without thinking.

"Actually... I didn't pay for that. Lu Chenyuan bought it while I was asleep."

These words were spoken.

The atmosphere at the dinner table paused for a moment.

Even Shu Yue, who had been silent all along, looked at Su Wan incredulously.

In these kinds of situations, you usually just have to go along with what the elders say and make them happy. How did she have the courage to tell the truth so bluntly?

Little did Shu Yue know that Su Wan was from a completely different world than her and Lin Man.

She has a straightforward and honest personality; she speaks her mind without much beating around the bush.

More importantly, she genuinely wanted Lu Chenyuan's parents to know that this was a token of their son's affection, and that they would be even happier to know.

Her thought process is peculiar, yet endearingly pure.

Shen Wanyu was only stunned for a brief moment before bursting into laughter, not caring at all, but rather even happier.

"No matter what, I still want to thank Wanwan."

"If it weren't for you, your father and I wouldn't be able to see all of this."

"We raised him with such care and hardship, nurturing him into such an outstanding individual, and we've never received a single penny from him."

"If it weren't for you, why would he have thought of buying these things to please us?"

"No matter what, Wanwan, you are a great hero for raising such a good son for us."

After a few words, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's relationship instantly became as harmonious as if they had just met.

Su Wan felt even more ashamed, her face turning bright red, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Looking at her curled-up, kitten-like figure, Lu Chenyuan felt a strange itch in his heart. He wondered why this meal was taking so long; almost half an hour had already passed.

Finally, when he picked up more food for her, Su Wan gently shook her head, indicating that she couldn't eat anymore.

But she was too embarrassed to suggest leaving the table.

Seeing this, Lu Zhenguo was very considerate. He put down his chopsticks, looked at everyone, and spoke calmly.

"Have you all finished eating?"

He said this to everyone, but Shen Wanyu and Lu Chenyuan could both tell that he was looking out for Su Wan and giving her a way out.

Su Wan nodded gently, her voice obedient.

"The food was quite good. Half the table was filled with seafood, and the other half with dishes from my hometown. It was very thoughtful and delicious."

Lu Zhenguo then got up.

"I'm going out for a walk and I've arranged to play chess with Old Li next door. You guys stay inside and have a good chat."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Wanyu and gave her special instructions.

"Don't talk for too long. They just arrived and are tired. Let them get some rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chenyuan spoke up.

"Dad, we're not tired. We're going out in a bit. We can talk about it tomorrow."

He looked at his mother.

"Mom, let Wanwan keep you company and have a good chat tomorrow."

"Tonight I asked Xu Yue to organize a gathering so that Wanwan can go out and see the night view of Shanghai and meet the younger generation in the family."

Shen Wanyu showed no displeasure whatsoever. Instead, she gently tapped her youngest son's forehead and smiled tenderly.

"Okay, have fun, be careful, and come back soon."

Lu Chenyuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

He suddenly realized that his parents today seemed different from those of the past.

I was extremely happy from beginning to end.

Su Wan sat to the side, surrounded by a room full of tenderness, and the initial unease and inferiority in her heart were gradually melting away.

She seems to be starting to believe it.

This place will gradually become her home.
