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

What exactly are his feelings for Su Wan?

Is it disgust? Is it annoyance? Is it helplessness?

It seems like it is, and yet it seems like it isn't either.

He felt inexplicably uncomfortable when Lin Man hit Su Wan just now.

He found it offensive when that male colleague put his arm around Su Wan's waist.

Now, as Su Wan cried and said sorry, he felt a strange pang of heartache.

These emotions were things he had never experienced before; they were unfamiliar and filled him with dread.

He didn't know how to face Su Wan, how to handle this chaotic relationship, or how to deal with the changes in his own heart.

So he chose to escape—to leave in silence.

Lin Man watched Lu Chenyuan's departing figure, feeling somewhat uneasy, but mostly secretly delighted.

She felt that Lu Chenyuan's silence and departure at this moment were because he was disgusted by Su Wan and that he was on her side.

She turned to look at Su Wan, who was still crying, a hint of smugness and disdain flashing in her eyes.

"Miss Su, I advise you not to bother Chen Yuan anymore. We're getting married soon, and what you're doing is just a waste of your energy."

After saying that, she stopped looking at Su Wan and quickly chased after Lu Chenyuan.

Her colleagues dispersed, their gazes towards Su Wan a mixture of sympathy, amusement, and disdain.

After all, her words and actions just now were indeed too outrageous.

Su Wan stood alone, barefoot, on the cold ground.

The pain from Lin Man's slap still lingered on her cheek, and her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife.

As she watched Lu Chenyuan and Lin Man's figures gradually disappear into the distance, and as they walked side by side toward the black SUV, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.

She knew she had really messed things up this time.

She hit Lu Chenyuan, fought with Lin Man in public, and said so many shameless things.

Lu Chenyuan must hate her even more now, and may never want to see her again.

Is this how it ends?

No, she was not willing to accept it.

Su Wan wiped away her tears, and a stubborn light rekindled in her eyes.

She liked Lu Chenyuan, and she didn't want to give up like this.

Even if he hates her now, even if he wants to marry Lin Man, she will fight for him one more time.

She looked up in the direction where Lu Chenyuan's car had disappeared, silently repeating to herself—

Lu Chenyuan, I will not give up.

Even if you don't like me now, even if you help her, I will keep pursuing you until you fall in love with me.

A cool night breeze blew by, making her shiver.

She stood barefoot, like a wild grass growing tenaciously in the cold wind, displaying an indomitable resilience.

The sight of Lu Chenyuan and Lin Man walking away side by side was like a sharp needle, piercing her heart.

Lin Man's words were still echoing in my ears—

We're getting married soon. Even if I gave you my whole life, I still couldn't catch up with Lu Chenyuan.

Every word carried a chilling sarcasm, sending a cold shiver down her spine.

She subconsciously touched her cheek, where the burning pain from Lin Man's slap still lingered.

Lu Chenyuan's silence and obstruction just now were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

Her heart felt like it was being ripped apart, the pain so intense she could barely breathe.

"Lu Chenyuan!"

Su Wan suddenly seemed to go mad, shouting loudly at the backs of the two people, her voice hoarse but filled with unyielding stubbornness.

"You drank so much tonight, you can't go with her! She'll definitely take advantage of you! This woman isn't as innocent as she seems; she's after you!"

Her voice echoed in the quiet night, causing her colleagues who hadn't gone far to turn around and look at her with strange eyes.

Lu Chenyuan paused, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Did Lin Man have ulterior motives towards him?

How could that be?

They had been dating for a year, and both sets of parents had given their approval.

They even started discussing marriage, so if something were to happen, it would be a natural progression.

But as soon as the thought popped into his head, he forcefully suppressed it.

He had to admit that even after spending a year with Lin Man, he wasn't ready to take things further with her. Even a simple kiss required him to consciously cultivate the right emotions.

Just like now, Lin Man is walking beside him, but he has no urge to hold her hand at all.

It was as if having her follow him from a distance was the best distance between a boyfriend and girlfriend.

He remained silent, did not turn around, and continued walking forward.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Wan took it as a tacit agreement, and her panic instantly intensified.

Her girlfriends had said before that men will do anything when they're pushed to the limit. If Lu Chenyuan really does have sex with Lin Man tonight, then she'll have no chance at all.

"Lu Chenyuan, I won't let you leave! I won't let you go with her! Come back!"

Su Wan was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. Ignoring the whispers of her colleagues, she chased after the two figures for a few steps.

"I need you to take me home! You have to take me home!"

Seeing her relentless attitude, her colleagues began to whisper among themselves.

"Is this woman just drunk, or is she acting strangely?"

"Captain Lu has already left with his girlfriend, but she's still clinging to him. She's so clueless."

"Captain Lu was clearly on his girlfriend's side just now, why won't she give up?"

"Sigh, women in love are really crazy."

These comments pierced Su Wan's heart like needles, but she couldn't care less about them right now.

All she knew was that she couldn't let Lu Chenyuan and Lin Man leave.

She ran forward while shouting, the pebbles under her feet hurting her feet, but she didn't even notice.

Suddenly, she tripped over something and lost her balance.

With a "thud," it was flung out and crashed heavily to the ground.

"hiss--"

A sharp pain shot through Su Wan's knees and wrists, causing her to gasp and tears to well up instantly.

She looked down and saw that her knee was scraped.

Blood flowed down her calves, staining the white hem of her skirt red.

My wrist was also scraped and burned.

"Miss Su, are you alright? How are you?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Chenyuan's colleagues quickly ran over.

After all, they were all men, and they couldn't bear to stand by and watch a little girl fall so badly.

One of her young colleagues, who wore glasses, knelt down to help her up, his voice full of concern.

"Your knee is bleeding, should we get it treated?"

Lu Chenyuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He slowly turned around, his gaze complex as he looked at Su Wan, who had fallen to the ground.

Under the moonlight, she lay alone on the ground, her skirt stained with mud and blood.

Her hair was scattered messily on both sides of her face, making her look disheveled and pitiful.

That glaring red, like a hammer, slammed into his heart.

He knew that he had reached the limit of his rationality.

But he couldn't be soft-hearted towards this woman.

Once you soften your heart, the consequences will be endless.

Even now that he's acting so coldly, she still dares to pounce on him and pester him again and again.

If he goes back to care for her now, will she think he has fallen in love with her and become even more demanding in the future?

However, seeing her wincing in pain and her eyes brimming with tears, he felt a strange pang of pity.

Those wet, teary eyes, like those of a wounded fawn, reminded him of the kitten he had accidentally stepped on when he was a child.

Lu Chenyuan stood there, hesitating and struggling, his heart swaying back and forth between indifference and soft-heartedness.
