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

After doing all this, she felt a heavy weight lifted from her heart.

I felt incredibly happy, and even my breathing became much easier.

Lin Weiwei caught a glimpse of her action out of the corner of her eye, and while driving, she gave her a thumbs up, her tone full of approval.

"This is the Su Wan I know! It's such a waste for her to be upset over a man who isn't worth it!"

"Yes, it's not worth it."

Su Wan nodded emphatically, her eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.

"From today onwards, I will no longer avoid him. Avoiding him would only make it seem like I'm afraid of him. From now on, I will confront him directly, without deliberately harassing him or avoiding him. Why should I be where he is but not where he is?"

After saying that, she put her phone back in her bag, leaned back wearily in the passenger seat, and closed her eyes.

The fatigue of the past few days, the effects of alcohol, and the sense of relief in her heart quickly brought her to even breathing, and she drifted into a peaceful sleep.

Meanwhile, Su Wan's group chat with her best friends had already exploded with excitement.

Sisters, can you believe it? Captain Lu was acting like a madman tonight!

I just peeked at him, and he's really handsome, but his eyes were terrifying, like he wanted to devour me!

[I had previously advised Wanwan to pursue him, but now it seems I'm glad she gave up. That kind of man is too dangerous!]

Xiaoxiao said he forcibly took Wanwan away, but he doesn't know where he took her.

[He doesn't even like Wanwan, so what is he trying to do?]

Su Wan didn't see these messages until she woke up at noon the next day.

At this moment, Lu Chenyuan, standing on the riverbank, was still standing there, staring blankly in the direction Su Wan had left, motionless.

As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight pierced the darkness, his shadow stretched long.

His police uniform was still soaking wet, clinging to his body and chilling him to the bone, but he didn't notice at all.

His mind was in complete chaos.

Su Wan's last gaze, her last words, her final resolute decision, replayed repeatedly in his mind like a movie.

Every scene was like a knife, stabbing deeply into his heart.

He didn't know how long he stood there until his legs went numb, then he slowly turned around, opened the car door, and got into the driver's seat.

Instead of going home, he drove directly into the underground parking lot of the Municipal Public Security Bureau office building.

Walking into the office building, the corridors were quiet, with only the cleaning lady cleaning.

Lu Chenyuan walked straight to his office.

As you push open the door, a scent mingled with the aroma of coffee and the sweet fragrance of strawberry cake wafts out.

On the desk, there were still spilled coffee stains on the files that hadn't been organized yesterday.

The empty strawberry cake box lay quietly in the trash can, a silent reminder of everything that had happened yesterday afternoon.

Looking at the cake box, Lu Chenyuan felt a surge of irritation and lost all interest in working.

He didn't look at the files on the table, but went straight to the sofa, lay down wearily, and rubbed his throbbing forehead.

What exactly happened?

Why has his life completely spiraled out of control ever since Su Wan appeared?

He once thought his life would unfold step by step, like a pre-programmed sequence—

He worked hard, rose through the ranks, and then, according to his family's arrangements, married Lin Man and formed what seemed like a perfect family.

But Su Wan's appearance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, completely disrupting his plans and his mind.

He hated her relentless pursuit, her unbridled behavior, and how easily she could sway his emotions.

But when she actually said it was over, and that she was really going to let him go completely, he felt an unprecedented sense of panic and reluctance.

He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, but the lingering scent of Su Wan seemed to still be in the air—

It was a very light perfume scent, with a hint of sweetness and a long-lasting aftertaste.

It smelled just like yesterday, yet it was still clearly audible today, like an invisible thread tightly wrapped around his heart.

Frustrated, Lu Chenyuan unbuttoned the top two buttons of his police uniform, revealing his well-defined collarbone.

The chill on my body and the restlessness in my heart intertwined, and instead of subsiding, they became even stronger.

He felt like a wild beast trapped in a cage, wanting to break free but unable to find a way out.

Just then, the phone rang, breaking the silence of the office.

It was Director Zhang calling.

"Shen Yuan, last night's joint raid was brilliantly executed! The city has already given us verbal commendation!"

Director Zhang's voice was full of joy.

"Those people we arrested last night provided a lot of important clues, what a pleasant surprise! Keep up the good work, when I go to Shanghai in the future I'll definitely have a good talk with Lao Lu about this, like father, like son!"

Lu Chenyuan gave a perfunctory reply, his tone businesslike and devoid of any emotion.

After hanging up the phone, he tossed it aside, his face showing no joy at being praised.

Mentioning his father and his family background, he inexplicably recalled the hint of inferiority that flashed in Su Wan's eyes last night—

It was as if she was saying, "I pursued you before because I didn't know your family background was so good."

Whether his family background is good or bad is none of her business, why is she so insecure?

She suddenly disliked him and wanted to back away. Was it not just because he pushed her, but also because Lin Weiwei told her everything about his family, which made her afraid and want to firmly back away?

It must be like this.

She used to keep pestering him, saying she liked him, wanted to sleep with him, and wanted to give him her first time.

Then she coldly told him that she hated him, didn't like him, and told him to get lost.

How can there be such a fickle person?

What exactly does she mean?

What is he really thinking?

Is it really a decision to give up?

If it's true, shouldn't he be happy? Why is he so agitated?

My heart aches like it's being stabbed with a knife.

"Oh shit."

Captain Lu, unusually, swore. He suddenly opened his eyes, sat up from the sofa, and strode to the computer.

He couldn't keep thinking like this; he had to find something to do to distract himself.

However, when he turned on his computer, the blinking cursor on the screen left him at a loss.

His mind was filled with images of Su Wan from last night—

The way she sang, her eyes glazed over from drinking, leaning against the car door; the way she angrily threw his drink at him.

The resolute way she said she hated him, and his image reflected in her pupils.

Her pupils were so dark and so bright, and his figure appeared so clear and so... harmonious within them.

What would it be like if one day, her eyes were no longer filled with him, but with another man?

Once this thought arose, it grew wildly like weeds, instantly devouring his reason.

Lu Chenyuan felt an inexplicable anger erupt from the bottom of his heart.

He slammed his fist on the table, sending the mouse flying.

It crashed to the ground with a loud thud, making a cracking sound.
