Her gaze lingered on his face without any attempt to look away.

From his furrowed brows to his tightly pursed thin lips, and then to his sharply defined jawline, the more you look at him, the more captivating he becomes.

While he was eating his kebabs with his head down, she quietly stretched out her foot and gently rubbed the tip of her high heel against his calf.

Lu Chenyuan's body tensed instantly, and he pulled his leg back abruptly as if he had been burned. When he looked up, the anger in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"What are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything."

Su Wan blinked innocently, but her feet didn't stop; instead, she took advantage of the situation and moved closer.

"I just think Captain Lu's legs are really long, and I can't help but want to touch them."

Her boldness made the veins on Lu Chenyuan's forehead throb. He suddenly stood up, wanting to change his position, but Su Wan grabbed his wrist.

Her fingertips were slender and warm, gripping his wrist tightly as if she were grasping at a lifeline.

"Lu Chenyuan, don't go!"

Su Wan's voice softened, carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance.

"I just wanted to talk to you more, do you hate me that much?"

Her fingers gently caressed the skin on his wrist, feeling the throbbing of his pulse, and her heart fluttered.

Lu Chenyuan's hands were large, with rough palms covered in a thin layer of calluses.

Those were marks left by years of gun-handling training, but at this moment they made her feel incredibly at ease.

Lu Chenyuan tried to shake off her hand, but Su Wan held on tightly and even moved closer to him on purpose.

She pressed her body almost against his arm, her voice low and alluring.

"Lu Chenyuan, do you really have absolutely no feelings for me? I don't believe it."

Her breath brushed past his ear, carrying a faint scent of perfume, sweet but not cloying, like a feather gently tickling his heart.

Lu Chenyuan's body stiffened instantly, and the disgust in his eyes deepened.

Just as he was about to reprimand her, a gentle female voice suddenly rang out: "Shen Yuan?"

Su Wan and Lu Chenyuan turned their heads at the same time and saw a woman in a white dress standing not far away.

With long, flowing hair, a gentle demeanor, and a hint of confusion and shyness on her face.

When Lu Chenyuan saw her, his eyes softened slightly. He walked over, took the woman's hand, and said coldly to Su Wan.

"This is my girlfriend, Lin Man."

Su Wan's smile froze instantly, her gaze fixed on their clasped hands.

It felt like her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain almost making it hard for her to breathe.

She never expected that Lu Chenyuan's girlfriend would suddenly appear.

Lin Man's cheeks flushed slightly as Lu Chenyuan held her hand, and she looked at Su Wan with a mixture of curiosity and unease.

Looking at Su Wan's instantly pale face, Lu Chenyuan's eyes showed no pity, but rather a cold indifference of relief.

"Ms. Su, I think I've made myself very clear. I have a girlfriend, and I love her very much. In my eyes, you're not even worth a hair on her head. So please don't bother me anymore and have some self-respect."

His words were like a sharp knife, piercing Su Wan's heart and leaving her feeling cold all over.

Seeing the undisguised disgust in Lu Chenyuan's eyes, and the completely different tenderness he showed towards Lin Man, tears welled up in her eyes instantly, falling one by one onto the table and shattering into a cold fragment.

She couldn't understand what she lacked compared to Lin Man.

Lin Man looks so ordinary and gentle; she's simply not a good match for a man like Lu Chenyuan.

Lu Chenyuan, he clearly has no feelings for Lin Man, so why did he say such hurtful things?

Looking at her tear-streaked face, Lu Chenyuan felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.

It felt like being gently stung by something; it was a feeling of compassion I had never experienced before.

But he quickly suppressed that feeling; he didn't like women like Su Wan.

It was too bright and flamboyant, with a strong sense of aggression, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

He had to make her give up completely, otherwise it would never end.

Lin Man was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. She gently tugged at Lu Chenyuan's arm and whispered something.

"Shen Yuan, stop talking, she seems very sad."

"She's just ungrateful."

Lu Chenyuan's voice remained cold.

Just then, Su Wan suddenly raised her head, wiped away her tears, and the grievances and vulnerability in her eyes were instantly replaced by stubbornness and unwillingness.

She looked at Lin Man, then at Lu Chenyuan, a defiant smile playing on her lips.

"Miss Lin, I'll make a bet with you."

Lin Man was taken aback: "Huh? What are we betting on?"

"I'll bet three months."

Su Wan's voice was firm and loud, her eyes gleaming with a determined light.

"I bet you and Lu Chenyuan will break up within three months, and I will become Lu Chenyuan's woman."

"you……"

Lin Man was so shocked by her boldness that she was speechless, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red.

Lu Chenyuan's face darkened instantly, and anger surged in his eyes once again.

He never expected Su Wan to be so persistent, refusing to give up even at this point.

"Su Wan, don't go too far!"

Lu Chenyuan's voice was so cold it could freeze someone to death.

"I'm warning you, stop your nonsense, or I won't be polite!"

"You're welcome? What can you do to me?"

Su Wan looked up at him, a hint of provocation in her eyes.

"Lu Chenyuan, you wait. I mean what I say. In three months, I will make you willingly be with me."

Looking into her stubborn and burning eyes, Lu Chenyuan felt both angry and helpless.

He knew that reasoning with someone like Su Wan was useless; she simply wouldn't understand.

"Let's go."

Lu Chenyuan didn't want to get entangled with her any longer, so he took Lin Man's hand and turned to walk towards the alley entrance.

Su Wan watched their figures walk away side by side. The man was tall and upright, and the woman was gentle and petite. They looked so well-matched.

But the resentment and discontent in her heart grew wildly like weeds.

Why? Why can't he see her good qualities?

Why would he rather choose a blind date with whom he has no feelings than give her a chance?

With nowhere to vent her frustration, Su Wan picked up the ice-cold beer on the table and took a big gulp.

The coolness of the wine couldn't suppress the burning heat and pain in my heart.

She suddenly stood up, turned around, and walked towards the bar outside the alley.

She wanted to drink, to let loose, to vent all the grievances and resentment in her heart.

But she knew in her heart that even if she got completely drunk, she would not give up on Lu Chenyuan.

This man was the one she had chosen as her nemesis, and also the prey she was determined to possess.

She can definitely do it in three months.

The bar was dimly lit and the heavy metal music was deafening.

The scents of alcohol and perfume mingled together, creating a dizzying effect.

Su Wan was lying on the bar counter with several empty bottles in front of her.

His cheeks were flushed an unnatural red, and his eyes were glazed over; he was already half-drunk.

The frustration in my heart seemed to be ignited by alcohol; the more I drank, the more intoxicated I became, and the more aggrieved I felt.

She picked up the whiskey on the table and took another big gulp from the bottle.

The spicy liquid burned her throat, yet it made her feel incredibly refreshed.

The image of Lu Chenyuan holding Lin Man's hand and saying that she was not as good as a single hair on Lin Man's head kept replaying in his mind.

Her heart felt like it was being repeatedly pounded by a blunt instrument, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.

"Lu Chenyuan...you bastard..."
