Just as Su Wan's heart was pounding and her cheeks were burning, several familiar male voices pierced through the bar's noisy music and drifted into the booth.
"Oh my, isn't this Miss Su?"
"That's right! I remember the young lady who brought Captain Lu the cake and coffee to our station that day so clearly!"
"And wasn't it the same girl that Captain Lu rescued at the farmhouse last time? I didn't expect to run into her here."
The group chatted amongst themselves, their voices full of curiosity, and walked straight toward the booth.
Su Wan suddenly looked up, and when she saw who it was, she froze.
It turned out they were Lu Chenyuan's colleagues; they were all watching when she jumped into the river at the farmhouse that day and was rescued.
The next day, she went to Lu Chenyuan's office to wait for them, and bumped into them in the corridor. She was stopped and questioned for a while.
She remembered how stubborn she was at the time. When asked how she got into the office area, she shamelessly said, "Of course, Lu Chenyuan let me in. He's the most hypocritical person. He says he doesn't like me, but he really likes me."
Now, with the old story being brought up again in front of Lu Chenyuan and his girlfriends, those arrogant and shameful words swirled in his mind.
Su Wan was so embarrassed she could dig her toes out of a three-bedroom apartment; she kept her head down and didn't want to say hello at all.
But seeing that she didn't say anything, the other person moved closer and closer, pressing her for answers even more.
"Miss Su, why haven't I seen you visiting Captain Lu lately?"
"I heard Captain Lu and Miss Lin broke up. This is a perfect opportunity for you to take advantage of the situation!"
"Absolutely! Everyone on the team thinks you two are a good match. You have a fiery temper, which is perfect for taming Captain Lu's cold personality. We've rarely seen him treat anyone differently, except you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chenyuan, who had been leaning against Su Wan, suddenly stood up.
He was tall and imposing, exuding an aura of authority as soon as he stood up. His cold gaze swept over the group, and his tone carried an undeniable authority.
"Very free?"
"Coming to a bar in casual clothes—is it an official visit or unauthorized absence from duty?"
This question almost made their jaws drop.
Their reverence for Lu Chenyuan was ingrained in their bones. Upon hearing that familiar, cold tone, they instinctively wanted to lower their heads and stand at attention, subconsciously avoiding his gaze.
But as soon as their gaze fell on Lu Chenyuan, all their awe was instantly replaced by shock.
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
The bar's neon lights danced on him, and his black fitted short-sleeved shirt accentuated the sharp lines of his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
Her neckline was slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone and faint red marks on it.
His work pants cinched his long legs, and the faint scent of perfume emanating from him made him look nothing like the composed and dignified police officer he usually was. Instead, he resembled one of those arrogant and unruly male models they had personally apprehended.
He exuded a seductive aura, and his eyes held a hint of unfulfilled languor.
He stood very close to Miss Su, their posture unusually intimate.
Looking at Miss Su again, she was wearing a black dress and sequined cardigan, with alluring makeup, but she deliberately shrank to the side.
Her body was tense, clearly resisting his approach, creating a striking contrast.
"Holy crap..."
Someone couldn't help but gasp softly, their voice filled with bewilderment.
"What's going on?"
"Captain Lu, he..."
Is the peacock spreading its tail feathers?
The group exchanged glances, all seeing the same emotion in each other's eyes.
I want to laugh, but I don't dare to.
Her shoulders trembled slightly from holding it in, but she could only bite her lip tightly.
She was afraid that if she laughed out loud, she would incur Lu Chenyuan's wrath.
They had to admit that Lu Chenyuan, without his police uniform, had lost some of his sharpness and gained more youthful exuberance. Standing next to Su Wan, they were a perfect match, a handsome couple with striking good looks, and there was an inexplicable sense of compatibility between them.
But the next second, a murderous aura suddenly appeared in Lu Chenyuan's eyes.
That familiar, chilling cold enveloped us once again, just like the same look in his eyes when he scolded people in the team.
The group instantly suppressed their thoughts, no longer daring to let their imaginations run wild. They quickly put on polite smiles and exchanged a few perfunctory pleasantries.
"We're not busy, we're just passing by!"
"Captain Lu, have fun! We're off now!"
Before the words were even finished, the group turned around as if fleeing, disappearing into the crowd without looking back, as if afraid that if they were a step too slow, Lu Chenyuan would grab them and give them a lecture.
Su Wan's first reaction was to look up at Lu Chenyuan, thinking that he must feel a little uncomfortable being dressed so flamboyantly and being caught by his teammates.
Unexpectedly, he just snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.
"Nonsense, you're all just bored."
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and put his arm around Su Wan's waist.
His palms were burning hot, and his strength was so great that she couldn't break free. He pressed her directly into his arms.
"Sit down and teach me how to roll the dice."
The warm sensation spread from her waist to her whole body, causing Su Wan to stiffen and her cheeks to burn even more.
He seemed completely unconcerned about the earlier incident, as if her rejections over the past two days had been nothing but a passing breeze, his nonchalant attitude infuriating.
Before she could resist, Lu Chenyuan grabbed her hand and pressed it onto the dice cup.
He stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips, his tone carrying a hint of coquettish assertiveness.
"Come on, how do we play?"
"Lu Chenyuan?"
"Don't you dare touch me!"
Lin Weiwei and Su Wan spoke almost simultaneously, the former looking wary and the latter full of embarrassment and annoyance.
Just then, Lin Weiwei's phone rang; it was her husband, Qin Ang, calling.
She glared at Lu Chenyuan, then turned and quickly walked to a quiet place to answer the phone.
Lu Chenyuan glanced at her back dismissively, then turned to look at Su Wan, his grip on her hand remaining firm.
Su Wan tried to pry his hands off, but she couldn't. Instead, he held her even tighter.
The restless hand moved upwards along her waistline, then slowly rubbed downwards, its burning heat wantonly exploring her skin.
"Lu Chenyuan!"
Su Wan was both angry and ashamed. She suddenly stood up, broke free from his embrace, and her chest heaved violently.
She stood there, glaring at him angrily.
Lu Chenyuan remained seated on the sofa, leaning back casually, his gaze calm and composed, waiting for her to speak.
The way it looked was as if it was saying, "So what? I'm just hugging you, what can you do about it?"
That shameless face again!
She's had enough from last night until today.
This is a public place, and there are a group of her best friends watching. She doesn't want to make things too embarrassing by resorting to violence. She can argue however she wants in private, but this situation will only make her more awkward.
Su Wan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and glared at him fiercely, her tone harsh.
"I...I need to use the restroom."
After saying that, he turned and fled in panic.
It was true that she needed to use the restroom, but it was even more true that she wanted to get away from him. She had drunk quite a bit of alcohol earlier, and this was the perfect excuse to escape.
After Su Wan left, Lu Chenyuan waited in the same spot for less than a minute before becoming somewhat impatient.
But he didn't get up, remaining lazily slumped in the sofa of the booth.
The dim neon lights of the bar danced freely on him.
He leaned back slightly on the sofa, one long leg casually crossed over the other, his knee slightly bent, outlining the clean lines of his legs. The fabric of his black cargo pants stretched taut over his muscular physique, exuding a sense of lazy strength.
With her upper body slightly relaxed, her broad shoulders appeared even more upright against the backdrop of the black fitted short-sleeved shirt, and the slightly open neckline perfectly revealed her delicate collarbone and a faint red mark.
He casually rested one hand on the armrest of the sofa beside him, his fingertips lightly touching the corner of his lips.
With his other hand, he casually tapped the side of his leg, the rhythm slow.
The profile of her face was softened by the light and shadow, making it appear sharper and smoother, with a clear curve in her jawline.
His deep eyes were lowered, his gaze fixed on the direction Su Wan had left in.
There was a hint of barely perceptible anxiety hidden in his eyes, yet he also possessed an innate air of nobility and roguish charm.
Despite her impatient demeanor, she was more alluring than any scenery in the bar.
He's languid and abstinent, so handsome you can't take your eyes off him.
The girl next to me could no longer suppress the flutter in her heart. She carefully approached the booth sofa with her wine glass in hand, a bold smile on her face, and tentatively opened her mouth in a soft voice.
"Hey handsome, was that your girlfriend just now? She didn't look that great. Want to add each other on WeChat and get to know each other?"
Lu Chenyuan didn't even lift his eyelids, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.
His gaze was as cold as ice, filled with undisguised disgust.
He parted his thin lips slightly and uttered only one word.
"roll."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling aura, completely different from the tender and affectionate tone he had shown towards Su Wan just moments before.
