CIATB Chapter 47 Unbelievable! Lu Chenyuan actually laid a hand on her.
Chapter 47 Unbelievable! Lu Chenyuan actually laid a hand on her.
She had just woken up and was still a little groggy, with a slight morning grumpiness, and her body felt weak from lack of sleep.
She was wearing ten-centimeter high heels, which made her unsteady to begin with. When she lunged at him, she used too much force, and her body was already somewhat unsteady.
In the instant his thoughts were churning, in a fit of rage, he raised his hand and shoved Su Wan away.
He trained in the military compound for many years and later became a criminal police officer. He had well-developed arm muscles and was incredibly strong.
Su Wan is 1.68 meters tall, which is not short for a girl, but in front of Lu Chenyuan, who is over 1.9 meters tall, she looks like a weak kitten, powerless to resist.
"Bang!"
Although the force of the swing was not great, Su Wan was still thrown away.
It traced a brief arc in the air before slamming heavily against the corner of the desk.
The half-finished iced Americano on the table instantly tipped over, spilling brown liquid everywhere.
Most of it spilled onto the spread-out files, soaking the paper and causing the ink to spread.
Some of the splattered liquid landed on Su Wan's burgundy skirt, leaving dark stains and making her look quite disheveled.
Su Wan groaned, and before she could even cry out in pain, she slid off the desk and onto the floor.
"hiss--"
A piercing pain shot through her ankle, as if her bones were about to crack, causing her to gasp in shock.
She twisted her ankle when she landed.
Tears could no longer be held back, falling drop by drop onto the cold floor, spreading out a small wet patch.
She stared in disbelief at Lu Chenyuan standing by the window, her eyes filled with shock and fear.
He hit her!
This realization was like a sharp dagger, piercing her heart and causing her excruciating pain that made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She grew up without parents and was raised by her grandmother. What she longed for most was a sense of security.
The moment she saw Lu Chenyuan, she was drawn to his tough, masculine aura. She felt he was someone who could give her a sense of security and was a man full of boyfriend potential.
He later saved her in the alley, which further strengthened her resolve to pursue him.
Through their constant entanglement, she had already fallen completely in love with him.
She thought that even if he didn't like her now, at least he wouldn't hurt her.
In the past few days, he had pinched her wrist, pushed her away, cursed at her, yelled at her, and warned her.
But never before had I hit her so hard and so viciously!
If Lu Chenyuan could read minds and know what she was thinking right now, he would probably go crazy.
How can this be called fighting?
If he really wanted to hit someone, with his strength, Su Wan's small frame probably couldn't even withstand a single finger of his.
He was only angry and unconsciously pushed her to get rid of her entanglement; he had no intention of hitting her at all.
But in Su Wan's view, this was a beating!
This is irrefutable evidence that he laid a hand on Lin Man in order to protect her!
Her eyes instantly filled with fear and panic, all of her composure and stubbornness from before gone.
It's a feeling of helplessness and fear after being hurt by someone you trusted.
Like a frightened fawn, it huddled on the ground, trembling.
After a while, the panic gradually subsided, replaced by a deep sense of vigilance, resistance, and alienation.
She lay on the ground, staring blankly at Lu Chenyuan, large tears welling up in her eyes.
The tears slid down her cheeks, but didn't ruin her carefully applied makeup.
She bit her lip tightly, refusing to let out a single cry, using only silent tears to condemn his evil deeds.
Time ticked by, and both of them remained frozen in place.
After a while, Su Wan slowly pushed herself up from the ground, trying to stand up.
But she had barely stood up for half a second when a sharp pain in her ankle made her legs buckle and she quickly fell back down.
"hiss--"
She couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Lu Chenyuan then realized that his push just now seemed to have really hurt her.
He hung up the phone in disbelief, ignoring what Lin Man was still saying.
She stood there, stunned for a long while, her gaze unconsciously drifting to the hand that had just pushed her.
He couldn't understand how she could fall to the ground and fly more than a meter away when he only gave her a light push.
Moreover, the coffee was spilled, and the case file was soaked.
She was covered in coffee stains and looked quite disheveled.
Lu Chenyuan's gaze fell on her ankle, where a striking red and swollen mark had appeared on her slender, jade-like ankle, which looked shocking.
She was... gently pushed by him and flew out, even twisting her ankle?
He couldn't believe it; was this woman made of air?
It has absolutely no weight?
At this moment, Lu Chenyuan completely forgot that last time at the KTV, he had also used the same light touch to send someone flying, crashing into the wall and knocking them unconscious.
He trained for many years, so he was tall and strong, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
He didn't realize that what he called a "light touch" was actually quite forceful for an ordinary person.
Su Wan lowered her head and didn't look at Lu Chenyuan again, but gently rubbed her ankle with her hand.
They moved very carefully.
She was genuinely heartbroken, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
There was pain, grievance, panic, and deep disappointment.
She suddenly realized that Lu Chenyuan was truly terrifying.
She only wanted to grab his phone, she was just jealous, and he actually hit her.
And yet, they showed no mercy to women.
After the call, there wasn't a single word of greeting.
They neither cared how badly she was injured, nor did they offer to help her up.
It turns out that in his heart, she really meant nothing.
He actually went so far as to do this to Lin Man just to talk on the phone.
It seems that all her persistence and all her efforts were in vain.
There's absolutely no way he could be moved by her.
Su Wan gritted her teeth and silently made up her mind.
Forget it, so be it.
Su Wan also has a temper and a bottom line.
Her bottom line is that she cannot physically assault anyone.
No matter the reason, hitting someone is unforgivable.
Today, he actually hit Lin Man because of her.
It's better not to talk about these feelings.
Consider today's cake and coffee as food for the dog!
Su Wan was so angry that she completely forgot about the box of strawberry cake, and Lu Chenyuan only took a small bite.
She ate most of the rest herself.
"Captain Lu, should we...?"
It was time to leave work.
The colleague I had dinner with yesterday walked excitedly to the door of Lu Chenyuan's office.
I wanted to invite him downstairs for a couple of drinks, but I froze on the spot the moment I opened the door.
The second half of the sentence got stuck in his throat.
Because the atmosphere in the office was eerily frightening.
Su Wan collapsed onto the cold floor, her burgundy skirt stained with brown coffee, looking utterly disheveled.
Her once beautiful and charming face was now as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with a deathly despair.
Tears still clung to the corners of her eyes, and her long eyelashes drooped wetly.
A silent sob.
Her tearful appearance was both touching and pitiful.
Lu Chenyuan, on the other hand, stood like a stiff wooden stake by the blinds.
His back was straight, yet there was an indescribable stiffness about it.
His eyes were lowered, making his expression unreadable, and the oppressive aura surrounding him made people hesitant to approach him.
