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

Lu Chenyuan opened his mouth, but she didn't give him a chance to interrupt.

"It was right of you to push me; it's just that I wasn't standing properly, so I can't blame anyone else."

Her gaze swept over the files on the table, soaked with coffee, but her tone remained calm.

"And these files on your desk, do they need organizing? If so, I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now, please continue with your work."

This time, she truly showed no emotion as she turned and walked towards the door.

Gone was the panic of her first rush out; she even gracefully bent down and picked up her high heels as she passed the sofa.

As she bent over, she deliberately stretched out a hand to cover her chest to avoid exposing herself.

His movements were graceful yet awkward, a stark and jarring contrast to the woman who had just deliberately jumped into his arms and forcefully kissed him.

She held the shoes firmly in her hands, and when she looked up again, she gave him a slight smile.

The smile was extremely faint and shallow, and there was no warmth in his eyes.

It was simply politeness towards a stranger.

Or rather, it's about showing the respect due to Captain Lu, separated by an unspoken, distant distance.

"I'm gone."

Two words, as light as a feather, yet they struck Lu Chenyuan's heart with tremendous force.

He stood frozen in place, watching her slowly move, his mind blank for a moment.

What does this mean? Is this woman acting?

One moment they're passionate and fiery, the next they're unrestrained and straightforward.

One moment she's furious and crying, the next she's as cold as ice.

Now, only a completely unfamiliar calm remains.

Her figure was slender yet full-figured, and her bare feet on the cold floor exuded a silent elegance.

Lu Chenyuan then realized that she, with her back straight, was not as wretched as he had imagined.

Her long, jet-black hair reached her lower back, thick and lush. In the completely dark sky, it accentuated her beautiful figure, making her look like a fairy who had come from the darkness, teased and seduced him, and then vanished without a trace.

She was carrying her bag when her phone rang.

"Hello, this is Su Wan. Who is this?"

Her voice was polite and measured when she answered the phone, clear and melodious, like jade beads falling onto a silver plate.

Gone was the coquettishness and softness she displayed in front of him, and the deliberate allure; all that remained was the competence and poise of a professional woman.

"Mr. Wang, hello, hello! I've heard so much about you!"

Her tone carried just the right amount of enthusiasm, yet it was completely different from her attitude towards him.

"What? Really? Oh, I see. Okay, okay, I'll be right there."

The sound echoed through the corridor, carrying with unparalleled clarity, each word striking Lu Chenyuan's heart.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, don't worry. As long as it's introduced by Sister Li, I'll definitely give you a 20% discount! Don't worry, I'll get it done. Just wait for me in the office."

Lu Chenyuan remained in the same posture she had when she left.

If it weren't for the faint scent of her perfume still lingering in the air...

There were still undried coffee stains on the file.

And the strawberry cake box on the table, which was mostly empty.

He almost thought that everything that happened this afternoon was just an absurd dream.

An unreal illusion.

The woman, dressed in a flamboyant manner, barged in, jumped into his arms, kissed him forcefully, and refused to leave his office.

He took a nap, and when he woke up, he made a huge fuss because he was talking on the phone with Lin Man.

Finally... she seemed to have truly given up and left.

This is good, isn't it?

No one will bother him anymore.

His gentle push may have landed heavily on her heart, completely extinguishing her passion.

Lu Chenyuan shifted his feet, only to feel his body stiff as if it weren't his own.

He walked to his desk and began to sort through the files that were soaked with coffee.

The movements were slow and orderly, as if they were not affected at all.

Time ticked by, and he thought a long time had passed, but in reality, it had only been a minute.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the files he had just organized were slammed back onto the ground.

A colleague in the next office who was still working overtime got up to get some water. Hearing the noise, he jumped in fright and quickly pulled his head back.

Lu Chenyuan sat at his desk, unable to calm down any longer.

Her polite and courteous voice when she answered the phone was like a series of small hammer blows, striking his heart one by one.

She just said she was really sorry for bothering you today, Captain Lu—

That tone was exactly the same as her attitude towards client Mr. Wang on the phone.

With just a gentle push, did he become, in her heart, a customer or a stranger who needed to be treated with courtesy?

Her crying and tantrums, her threats of suicide, her relentless nagging—all of that must be irrelevant to him now, right?

Looking at the messy office and smelling the faint scent of perfume in the air, Lu Chenyuan couldn't help but recall the way she bent down to pick up her shoes and deliberately covered her chest when she left.

She seemed afraid he would see something, or perhaps afraid of being impolite in front of him.

She was a completely different person from the woman who had bitten and touched him so brazenly last night.

A nameless fear and panic quietly rose from the depths of my heart.

He couldn't pinpoint the source of his fear; he only knew that this woman seemed truly different.

She used to say she wouldn't give up, but this time, she really won't bother him anymore.

As darkness fell, only the faint light from the streetlights outside remained in the office.

Lu Chenyuan sat in the darkness, unable to hide the anxiety and frustration in his heart.

She must have left already, right?

They should have already left the police station to meet with that Boss Wang, right?

Just as he was pondering this, the office door was pushed open once again.

Lu Chenyuan suddenly looked up, a hint of anticipation hidden in his heart that he himself was unaware of.

In the dim light, under the hazy glow of the motion-sensor lights in the corridor, Su Wan's figure indeed reappeared.

She's back!

In that instant, an indescribable joy surged within Lu Chenyuan, shocking even himself.

He sat in the chair, motionless, watching her stand in the doorway, silently telling himself...

This time, I must soften my voice and not get angry at her again.

No matter what unreasonable demands she makes, do not lay a hand on her.

I'll indulge her for now, since I was the one who hurt her first.

But he was lost in his own thoughts and didn't see the politeness and indifference in Su Wan's eyes.

She smiled at him and gently knocked on the door: "May I come in?"

Lu Chenyuan was stunned—the door was clearly open, what did she mean?

Su Wan smiled at him again and pointed to the ground: "When I ran out just now, my ID card fell out of my bag."

Her ankle seemed to be even more swollen, and every step she took was accompanied by suppressed pain.

But she remained silent, standing tall and strong in front of him as if she had never sprained her ankle.

"Captain Lu, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to come back and bother you. I just need my ID card in a little while, so..."

She didn't finish her sentence; she simply lowered her head again, carefully clutching her chest, and bent down to pick up the ID card from the ground.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't look at him once, not even a glance from the corner of her eye.

After picking up the ID card, she nodded to him to indicate that she had received it.

Then he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
