"Yes."

The man's voice was completely flat.

"So please don't bother me anymore."

After saying that, he suddenly released her wrist with such force that she staggered back a few steps and almost fell.

Several clear red marks were left on my wrist, like marks he left behind, both painful and burning.

Su Wan looked at him, and finally, tears welled up in her eyes and fell.

It slid down her cheek, hit the ground, and shattered into a cold fragment.

She wasn't crying because she was rejected, but because her passion had been so easily trampled on.

She cried because it was the first time she had actively pursued someone, and it ended up in such a pathetic state.

The man seemed to want to get out of the way and turned to get into his car.

"etc!"

Su Wan suddenly spoke, her voice trembling with tears, yet still revealing a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.

"Even if you have a girlfriend, I won't give up! There's never been something I, Su Wan, haven't gotten!"

The man paused for a moment, but did not turn around, leaving her with only his cold, hard back.

A deep voice drifted through the night breeze, carrying a hint of barely perceptible weariness.

"Whatever."

After saying that, he opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

The sound of the engine breaking the silence of the night, and the black police car disappeared into the end of the street like a bolt of lightning.

Su Wan stood there, watching the direction the police car had disappeared in, her tears flowing even more fiercely.

The red marks on my wrist still throbbed faintly, and my heart ached with a bitter feeling, as if something was blocking my breath.

"Wanwan! Are you alright?"

Lin Weiwei rushed over and supported her swaying body.

Seeing her red eyes and the red marks on her wrists, I said with heartache.

"Look at you, you had to provoke him. Now look what happened! You're suffering now, aren't you?"

Su Wan leaned on Lin Weiwei's shoulder and began to sob, like a wronged child.

"He has a girlfriend... He said I was deliberately seducing him..."

"Okay, okay, stop crying."

Lin Weiwei patted her back to comfort her.

"That kind of clueless man isn't worth your tears. It's his loss that he has a girlfriend. With Wanwan's looks and qualities, what kind of man can't she find?"

Lin Weiwei tried to persuade her for more than half an hour, her lips almost worn out.

She stubbornly refused to move, her shoulders trembling slightly, her cries filled with resentment and grievance.

"Wanwan, okay, let's go home, alright?"

Lin Weiwei had no choice but to take out a tissue and wipe the tears off her face.

"Look at you, you've cried so much, your makeup is all ruined, you look awful."

Su Wan sniffed, choked back tears, and shook her head.

"I won't reply... What right does he have to say that to me? What right does he have to reject me so decisively just because he has a girlfriend?"

She was seething with anger, both at the man's indifference and at her own disheveled state.

But when she thought of his crisp police uniform, his deep, cold eyes, and the burning force with which he gripped her wrist, the resentment in her heart grew wildly like weeds.

Lin Weiwei felt both heartache and helplessness looking at her like this.

She knew Su Wan too well; once that indomitable spirit in her bones kicked in, not even ten oxen could pull her back.

After hesitating for a while, she suddenly remembered something and took out her phone.

"Fine, fine, I give up. My cousin works in the publicity department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, right? I'll ask him if he can find out anything about that policeman. We can't let you get caught like this without knowing why."

Su Wan's crying stopped abruptly, and her eyes lit up instantly.

As if grasping at a straw in the darkness, he looked longingly at Lin Weiwei.

"Really? Your cousin was able to find out?"

"I think so."

Lin Weiwei said as she dialed the number.

"He deals with various departments every day and knows a lot of people. It shouldn't be difficult to ask him who that epaulette corresponds to."

After the call connected, Lin Weiwei briefly explained the situation to her cousin, emphasizing the key information such as "two-star rating" and "criminal police captain".

My cousin was silent for a few minutes, seemingly looking up information, before replying quickly.

"Found it."

Lin Weiwei turned on speakerphone, and her cousin's voice came through the receiver.

"Lu Chenyuan, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, is 29 years old. He was transferred from Shanghai. He has an exceptional ability to solve cases, but his personality is as cold as ice. Few people in the bureau dare to say more than a few words to him."

Su Wan held her breath, her ear practically pressed against the phone.

"What's his relationship status?"

Lin Weiwei quickly pressed for more information.

"Feelings..."

My cousin paused.

"It seems he has a girlfriend, whom his family introduced him to through a blind date. They've been dating for almost a year, but I heard their relationship is rather lukewarm. They only see each other a few times a year. I heard from his colleague that they've only met less than ten times in total, and they've never even held hands, let alone kissed. It's purely to appease his family's pressure to get married."

"What?"

Su Wan suddenly raised her voice, and her tears stopped instantly.

The resentment and unwillingness in his eyes were replaced by disbelief and ecstasy.

"No holding hands, no kissing? See each other less than ten times a year?"

"yes."

My cousin's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

"That's probably it. I'm not entirely sure of the specifics; I just overheard people from their unit talking about it. Why are you asking?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Lin Weiwei quickly tried to smooth things over.

"I was just curious, thanks cousin!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Wan jumped up and down, all her previous grievances and embarrassment vanished, and her eyes shone like stars.

"Weiwei! Did you hear that? He and his girlfriend have no feelings for each other at all! He's just putting on an act for his family!"

Lin Weiwei rolled her eyes helplessly as she watched her face instantly brighten from cloudy to sunny.

"I heard him, but even so, didn't he still reject you?"

"That's different!"

Su Wan excitedly grabbed Lin Weiwei's hand, her fingertips trembling.

"He rejected me before because he felt he had a girlfriend and a responsibility, but they have no feelings for each other at all, which means I still have a chance!"

Her mind was already racing with calculations.

Since they met through a blind date and their relationship is so distant, there's definitely no emotional foundation between them.

If she puts in a little more effort and shows her charm, she'll definitely make Lu Chenyuan see her good qualities.

Let him understand what true love is.

"I knew it! How could I let go of the man I, Su Wan, have my eye on?"

Su Wan's lips curled into a confident yet sly smile, her eyes gleaming with an air of certainty.

"I'll go wait for him at Old Chen's barbecue stall again tomorrow!"

Lin Weiwei wanted to persuade her, but seeing her so determined, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She knew that once Su Wan made up her mind about something, she would definitely see it through to the end. Rather than trying to persuade her to give up, she would stay with her to prevent her from causing any more trouble.
