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

The silence in the carriage continued, like solidified ice, making it hard to breathe.

Lu Chenyuan drove the whole way, his back and arm muscles taut.

His body lines were as hard and cold as iron.

The already terrified best friend in the back seat clearly noticed it.

She huddled in the corner of the back seat, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, barely daring to breathe.

The low pressure emanating from Captain Lu was so intense, like a storm about to break out, and his suppressed anger almost burst out of the carriage.

She was really scared.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have offered to hitch a ride with him.

This isn't hitchhiking; it's practically handing yourself over to the tiger's den.

She desperately wanted to jump off the train immediately, even if it meant taking a taxi home, rather than enduring the torment in this oppressive carriage.

But looking at Lu Chenyuan's face, so cold it could freeze ice, and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from him—

She didn't even have the courage to speak, and could only silently pray that she would reach her destination quickly and be freed from this predicament.

Just then, Lu Chenyuan suddenly spoke, his voice still icy and devoid of any warmth: "Your home?"

"what?"

Her best friend was stunned and completely dumbfounded.

What is he asking?

Didn't I already ask that?

"Where do you live? I'll take you there first."

Lu Chenyuan repeated it again, his gaze still fixed straight ahead.

He didn't even glance at her, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority.

Just then, her best friend's phone rang.

The name Lin Weiwei appeared on the screen.

She was so nervous that her hand trembled and she accidentally switched to speakerphone.

The moment the call connected, Lin Weiwei's voice came through the receiver, tinged with anxiety.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao? Where are you guys? Did that guy surnamed Lu do anything to you and Wanwan?"

"Weiwei, we're fine. Captain Lu is seeing us off."

Xiaoxiao answered quickly, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's good that you're alright!"

Lin Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, then her tone became serious.

"Listen to me, let him take Wanwan home first, then take you! You absolutely cannot let them be alone together, understand?"

"Huh? But..."

Xiaoxiao was stunned, not understanding why Lin Weiwei would make such a request.

Logically speaking, it would be more convenient to take myself home first, and then take Su Wan home.

Lin Weiwei, on the other end of the phone, couldn't explain why, but she had a strong premonition—

We can't let Su Wan and Lu Chenyuan be alone together!!!

Otherwise, given Su Wan's lingering feelings for Lu Chenyuan, coupled with Lu Chenyuan's unusual behavior tonight...

She was afraid that Su Wan wouldn't be able to hold on and would be seduced by male beauty again, falling back into this fruitless relationship.

After all, he just said he would give up yesterday, and if they were alone together again today—

If Lu Chenyuan were to say or do anything else, Su Wan's hard-won resolve would likely crumble instantly.

Then, wouldn't all the grievances and hurts I suffered before be for nothing?

Moreover, Lu Chenyuan was indeed behaving somewhat abnormally tonight.

He was no longer the cold and distant person he used to be; instead, he paid special attention to Su Wan.

From deliberately approaching her at the night market stall, to forcibly stopping her car on the street, and now insisting on taking her home.

These actions are completely different from his previous attitude; in fact, they can be described as drastic changes.

The more Lin Weiwei thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and the more determined she became. She then gave Xiaoxiao instructions on the other end of the phone.

"You absolutely have to listen to me! Let me tell you, if my husband Qin Ang hadn't been urging me so hard, saying he'd skin me alive if I didn't hurry back, I'd be driving right behind you right now! You have to keep a close eye on Wanwan for me, don't let her say another word to that guy surnamed Lu, and definitely don't let them be alone together, understand?"

Before Lin Weiwei could finish speaking, Lu Chenyuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly reached out and snatched the phone from Xiaoxiao's hand.

His movements were so fast and forceful that Xiaoxiao didn't have time to react before the phone was already in his hand.

"you……"

Xiaoxiao was both shocked and furious, but dared not retaliate. She could only watch helplessly as Lu Chenyuan pressed the hang-up button.

He then turned off the phone and threw it back at her.

The moment the phone screen went dark, the atmosphere in the carriage became even more oppressive.

Lu Chenyuan turned his head and gave Xiaoxiao a cold look, the anger in his eyes almost burning her.

He asked again, his tone even harsher than before.

"Your home address? Say it again!"

Xiaoxiao was really scared and almost cried.

Despite her fear, she repeated her home address.

I thought to myself: Didn't I just read it once already?

Little did she know that when she gave him the location name, Lu Chenyuan's mind was entirely on Su Wan in the passenger seat, and he hadn't heard her at all.

His mind was filled with the image of Su Wan curled up in the seat.

After Xiaoxiao gave the address again, she lowered her head and didn't dare to say another word.

Lu Chenyuan slammed on the gas pedal, and the car sped toward the address Xiaoxiao had given him.

Ten minutes later, the car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the residential area.

"Get out of here."

Lu Chenyuan's voice remained icy, devoid of any warmth.

Xiaoxiao felt like she had been granted a pardon. She quickly pushed open the car door and ran out of the car almost as if she were escaping.

She even forgot to thank Lu Chenyuan and told him to take good care of Su Wan when she got home; all she wanted to do was get away from this terrifying man as quickly as possible.

After Xiaoxiao ran into the residential area, Lu Chenyuan turned his gaze to Su Wan in the passenger seat.

She was still fast asleep, her brows slightly furrowed, her face still pale.

Alcohol and exhaustion made her sleep soundly, oblivious to everything around her.

Lu Chenyuan's gaze softened, and his anger and hostility gradually dissipated.

Instead, a complex emotion arose.

There was heartache, guilt, and a hint of tenderness that even he himself was unaware of.

He didn't start the car immediately, but instead watched her quietly for a very long time.

The carriage was quiet; only the steady breathing of the two people could be heard.

The streetlights outside the window cast flickering shadows on her face, making her look exceptionally delicate.

After a long while, Lu Chenyuan took a deep breath, started the car, and turned it around.

This time, however, the car was not heading towards Su Wan's house, but towards the riverbank of Seoul.

The riverbank isn't too far from here; it takes about twenty minutes to drive there.

At this time of day, the riverbank is still very crowded.

The riverfront in Seoul has always been a popular spot for tourists to take photos at night.

So it was very lively.

The car slowly came to a stop in the parking lot by the riverbank. Lu Chenyuan turned off the engine, and the car fell silent once again.

He didn't wake Su Wan immediately. Instead, he got out of the car, walked to the passenger side, and opened the door.

The night breeze from the river carried a cool, moist air, dispelling some of the oppressive atmosphere in the carriage.

The cool breeze made Su Wan's brows furrow even more.

She instinctively shrank her neck, let out a soft moan, and slowly opened her eyes.
