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

His chaotic thoughts seemed to receive a glimmer of guidance.

But before he could figure things out, Lu Chenzhou stabbed him in the heart again.

"However, no matter how much a girl likes you or how enthusiastic she is towards you, if she doesn't get a response from you over time, or if she only gets your indifference, rejection, and setbacks, she will give up, no matter how much she loves you."

"With your personality, it's already quite impressive that you managed to keep Su Wan going for just a few days."

"If you hadn't laid a hand on her, she might have held out longer."

"But now that things are like this, it's all up to you."

"Think carefully about what you truly want in your heart."

After saying that, Lu Chenzhou stopped trying to persuade him and turned to walk towards the door.

Just before leaving, he paused, his voice deep and complex.

"My relationship with your sister-in-law isn't exactly happy, it's just stable."

"What makes me happy is Yao Yao, and all of you by my side."

The door was gently closed, separating the two worlds.

But not long after, Lu Chenzhou's voice came through the door again.

"Also, Lu Yuanfeng will be on vacation next month and will be coming back to visit his family."

Some things are best left unsaid.

Lu Chenzhou believed that with Lu Chenyuan's intelligence, he would definitely understand what he meant.

He just hoped that his silly younger brother wouldn't do anything foolish.

Based on his experience and insight, it's not hard for him to see that Su Wan hasn't completely given up on him yet.

She was only temporarily injured, like a frightened little animal, she shrank back and stayed where she was.

Given her family background and her orphaned status, it takes considerable courage for her to actively pursue Lu Chenyuan.

If Lu Chenyuan doesn't take that step soon, and Lu Yuanfeng and Su Wan meet and develop feelings for each other and establish a relationship, then this silly younger brother will probably be out of the picture.

Even if Lu Chenyuan belatedly realizes that he has fallen in love with Su Wan, so what?

Someone like Su Wan, once she truly gives up, will never look back.

If she falls in love with someone else after giving up on Lu Chenyuan, he will never be able to win her back in this lifetime.

After Lu Chenzhou left, Lu Chenyuan stood alone on the balcony for a long time.

Looking at the night view in the distance, he felt a mix of emotions, a bittersweet feeling that was hard to describe.

At this moment, Lu Chenzhou, after going downstairs, saw the concerned looks in his parents' and wife's eyes, but only smiled faintly and did not reveal a single word.

"Shen Yuan is just tired from work, nothing else. Let him get some rest."

After saying that, he picked up his coat and went out of the house.

He said this to Shu Yue as he was leaving.

"I'm not coming back tonight, so don't leave the door open."

According to their agreement, tonight was supposed to be the day they fulfilled their "marital obligations".

But Lu Chenzhou really wasn't interested right now; to him, it was more like a task that had to be completed than a tender moment between husband and wife.

He never felt truly satisfied when fulfilling his obligations, and he didn't even know what Shu Yue was thinking.

She remained in this bland and uneventful marriage, devoted to a man who only felt a sense of responsibility towards her, not love.

Don't you find it boring?

He spends most of his time in the military, so he has a place to vent his energy and time.

What about Shuyue?

She stays at home every day, facing an empty house and a husband who will never open his heart to her. What is she really thinking?

Lu Chenzhou suddenly felt that his marriage was like a cage.

A tranquil cage trapped him and Shu Yue inside.

His younger brother, Lu Chenyuan, envied his peaceful life and even thought he was very happy.

His marriage had already failed, so he wouldn't let Lu Chenyuan follow in his footsteps.

The concept of "marrying someone of equal social standing" is completely unnecessary for the Lu family now.

Lu Chenzhou raised his lips and smiled, a long-suppressed rage flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly felt a bit annoyed and wanted to relax, to temporarily escape this suffocating cage.

Just then, his phone vibrated; it was a text message from his cousin, Xu Yue.

"Brother Chenzhou, we're at the club. Do you want to come? You finally get a vacation, relax a bit."

Normally, Lu Chenzhou would never have paid any attention to such text messages.

He had absolutely no interest in those glitz and glamour.

But today, for some reason, after dissecting his inner thoughts to Lu Chenyuan, he felt very troubled.

I suddenly feel like having a couple of drinks to temporarily forget about those so-called responsibilities and obligations.

A low-key yet luxurious black sedan drove out of the Lu family mansion and sped towards the most luxurious clubhouse on the Huangpu River.

Meanwhile, Lu Chenyuan was alone on the balcony, lost in deep thought.

Like a trapped beast that has gotten stuck in a bull's horn, unable to break free.

The events of the past few days kept replaying in his mind.

Every scene, separated by time and distance, caused his heart to ache.

Lu Chenzhou's words were like a whirlwind, stirring up a storm in his heart and bringing forth things that had been suppressed for a long time.

Finally, desire broke free of its cage.

He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand fiercely.

I went back to my room and took out my phone.

My finger paused briefly on the screen before I tapped the blacklist.

I saved Su Wan's number.

Then, I clicked on that photo again.

At this inopportune moment, his long-suppressed desires surged forth like a tidal wave.

……

The cold water sprayed from the showerhead, drenching the burning skin and bringing a brief moment of coolness.

The phone was placed on the edge of the sink.

The heat seemed to be rooted in my bones, and no matter how much I tried to wash it away, I couldn't calm it down.

He closed his eyes, no longer running away, letting his mind be filled with thoughts of Su Wan.

Her dimples when she smiles, her lips slightly pouting when she's angry, her ponytail swaying when she dances, and the faint fragrance emanating from her when you get close.

And then there's the burning sensation I felt when my fingertips unconsciously brushed against his skin on the riverbank.

……

I can almost feel the softness of her when I supported her on the riverbank that day.

That delicate skin, that light weight, like a soft cotton ball, makes one fall for it with the slightest touch.

Desire, like the rising tide, surged stronger with each wave, breaching the dam of his reason...

It's not just psychological, but also physical...

Lu Chenyuan leaned against the cold tiles, letting the water wash over his body.

The images in my mind became clearer and more explicit—

He imagined her wearing that red dress, walking towards him step by step.

I imagine her dazzling appearance under the lights in the riverside bar.

He imagined her fingertips tracing across his chest, bringing a shiver of excitement.

Suppressed breathing mingled with the sound of running water echoed in the bathroom; he had never experienced such a moment of indulgence.

At this moment, he let her, who was thousands of miles away, stir all his senses.

……

When the ultimate pleasure fades, what remains is a deeper emptiness.

Cold water dripped down my hair onto my face.

He tried, he tried his best, but his desire for her was uncontrollable and would not dissipate with time and distance.

This realization hit him like a hammer blow, striking his heart hard.

He always thought he didn't like her, but his body language told a different story.

What exactly is this uncontrollable throbbing, this irrepressible desire?

Could it be true, as my brother said, that I've fallen for him?!
