Chapter 112 Lu Chenyuan, remember this: I, Su Wan, am not a person with a good temper either.
After getting into the car, Lu Chenyuan immediately dialed Xu Da's number, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"Su Wan is asking for two hours off this afternoon."
Su Wan sat in the passenger seat, her mind as foggy as if shrouded in mist.
Hearing this, he instantly sobered up, his eyes widening in surprise and resistance.
Why did you ask for leave for me?
"I heard what the sales assistant at the counter said."
He interrupted her, his gaze sweeping over her flushed cheeks, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty.
"She suggested doing a deep cleansing and skincare routine first, then using those products. Your face needs care."
"You didn't get enough rest last night, so a nap at noon is just right."
He paused, then added.
"Didn't the client schedule an appointment for four or five o'clock? I'll go with you and wake you up at 3:50 sharp. You can go to the beauty salon to catch up on some sleep first."
As if it were the most natural thing in the world, he had already used his phone to navigate to the beauty salon, and the car drove steadily forward.
Su Wan, however, was preoccupied with how to return those things.
She had just secretly tried to verify his identity using his phone number and wanted to transfer money after confirming it was him, but when she checked her balance, she found that the amount was not enough.
Those five La Mer sets, plus Dior lipsticks, Lancôme face masks and eye masks, even with discounts, cost a total of over 80,000 yuan.
Su Wan cursed her embarrassment inwardly, her fingertips clenching with anxiety, yet she refused to borrow money from Lin Weiwei or anyone else.
The commissions from the two deals I signed last time haven't arrived yet, and I can't come up with a single extra penny.
The car came to a smooth stop in front of a high-end beauty salon. Lu Chenyuan opened the car door, his tone still commanding.
"get off."
Su Wan lowered her head and remained silent.
There's a saying that goes, "Either die in silence or erupt in silence."
She has made it this far in the sales industry because she is not weak or easily bullied.
From the night before until now, she has only been bewildered by a series of unexpected events, but that doesn't mean she has no temper.
The gifts in the car were already enough to upset her, and then she saw Lu Chenyuan's hand reach out again.
The hand with its distinct knuckles carried a familiar sense of control, and Su Wan finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"That's enough!"
With a fierce roar, she mustered all her strength.
Lu Chenyuan's outstretched hand suddenly stopped, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise as he looked at her.
He had never seen Su Wan like this before.
Even when he was furious and irritable on the riverbank that night, he was never this fierce.
She seemed to transform instantly, shedding her previous grievances and timidity. The tears in her eyes dissipated, leaving only a raging fire, like a long-silent volcano suddenly erupting.
She abruptly brushed his hand away, her tone cold and hard.
"I can get out of the car by myself, you don't need to help me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she slammed open the car door in her eight-centimeter high heels.
No more running away, no more backing down, she stood tall and proud before Lu Chenyuan.
His face was full of anger, and his aura was incredibly fierce.
"Lu Chenyuan, I won't accept any of these things you gave me."
Her eyes were cold, and her words were clear and distinct.
"Return it before it's opened."
"Also, I won't go to beauty salons with you. I never go to places like that."
"I can take care of my skin at home. I, Su Wan, am not destined to do that. I can't afford your love, and I'm not used to these high-end products."
"I know how to take care of my skin."
"I misunderstood things yesterday and this morning. I thought that if I talked to you nicely, you would back down."
She took a step forward, closing in on him, her tone full of sarcasm.
"But what do you mean by pulling and tugging like this? I've already said I won't like you anymore, and I won't accept your things again. Isn't that hypocritical?"
She paused, her eyes growing colder, and said, word by word.
"Do you understand what 'having your cake and eating it too' means? It means wanting to be a prostitute while also wanting to maintain a virtuous image."
"Okay, that's enough."
She grabbed her canvas bag from the passenger seat and clutched it tightly in her hand.
"And this bag, I really like it, but you keep looking at it with that disgusted look. What do you know?"
After two days of feeling pent-up frustration, Su Wan finally felt completely refreshed, and even her breathing became easier.
Lu Chenyuan stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
He had always thought Su Wan was bold and daring, but he had never seen her so fiery.
Little did he know, she was not a peaceful person to begin with.
She's passionate and outspoken, bold and unrestrained. When she's in a frenzy, she'll smash a beer bottle over a man's head; when she's wild, she'll risk her life.
This side of him was unexpected, yet it inexplicably touched a chord deep within him, leaving him somewhat lost in thought.
Taking advantage of his momentary daze, Su Wan turned around and tried to flag down a car.
Lu Chenyuan then seemed to wake from a dream and quickly stepped forward to try to pull her.
This time, however, Su Wan reacted quickly and refused to indulge his temper.
She turned around abruptly, her high heel slamming hard onto his instep.
"Lu Chenyuan, remember this: I, Su Wan, am not a person with a good temper either."
Her eyes were as cold as knives, and her tone was laced with warning.
"You should have seen it before: I'm unreasonable, hot-tempered, daring, wild, and willing to do anything."
"I was just scared out of my wits last night. If you keep pushing me, don't blame me for tearing you apart and fighting right here in the street."
Her gaze was so resolute, carrying a ruthless determination to destroy everything, that Lu Chenyuan froze in place.
This scene is exactly the same as the fierce determination she showed when she jumped into the river that night at the farmhouse when we first met.
He suddenly became unsure whether she would really pounce on him and scratch his face if he took another step forward.
Just then, Su Wan's phone rang, and the words "Lin Weiwei" appeared on the screen.
"Su Wan, something's not right. Your voice sounded off just now. Tell me..."
On the other end of the phone, Lin Weiwei's tone was full of worry.
Su Wan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her eyes, and her voice returned to its usual cheerful tone.
"Weiwei, it's okay, it's really okay, you're overthinking it."
"I'm busy right now. Can we talk after I get off work?"
This is the Su Wan that Lin Weiwei knows.
Neat, unrestrained, and with an undeniable certainty.
Lin Weiwei finally felt completely relieved.
For nearly a month, Su Wan went from teasing and seducing Lu Chenyuan to being hurt and giving up. She seemed to have lost her soul, sometimes acting crazy and sometimes cowardly, sometimes excited and sometimes depressed. She either drank herself into oblivion or pretended to be happy, looking exactly like someone who had lost their mind.
Only now has the vibrant and flamboyant Su Wan truly returned.
"How about we go to a bar tonight?"
Lin Weiwei's tone became lighter, but with a hint of grievance.
"That damn Qin Ang hasn't let me go for ages. I told him it was just for drinking, but he wouldn't believe me. He keeps bothering me, forcing me to take time off to be with him."
"Now that he's finally back in the army, I really want to relax."
Su Wan raised the corners of her lips and glanced warily at Lu Chenyuan out of the corner of her eye.
Sure enough, the kick worked; he remained standing there, not daring to go any further.
"Okay, I'll go with you. You decide on the location and send it to me."
She paused, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
Seoul's bars have always been lively. Lin Weiwei loved going to bars when she was in college, preferring those deafeningly loud places that could blow your eardrums off, rather than the quiet bars by the riverbank.
She herself hadn't been there in a long time. The last time was when Lu Chenyuan brought Lin Man to the barbecue stand, which upset her so much that she went to a bar and got drunk. It seems she even forcibly kissed him while drunk.
Thinking about it now, it really did throw people into a state of complete confusion.
Su Wan hung up the phone, opened her best friend group chat, and looked at the chat history inside.
The past events are still vivid in my mind, and I feel both ashamed and ridiculous.
The group message was still from half a month ago, the night Lu Chenyuan forcibly took her away from the urban village.
Xiaoxiao said he forcibly took Wanwan away, and he doesn't know where he took her.
[He doesn't even like Wanwan, so what is he trying to do?]
She swiped her finger across the screen, finding it increasingly absurd, and even she herself found her appearance at that time terrifying.
No wonder Lu Chenyuan avoided her like the plague. Any man would be afraid of such obsessive and crazy pursuit.
But then I thought, with such seduction, what man could resist?
It's normal to fall in love and develop feelings for someone.
However, Su Wan never takes responsibility for her past actions.
After all, those were those embarrassing, out-of-control days.
She hadn't forgotten a single slap from Lin Man, nor the force with which he pushed her.
