Confessing love
I don't know why.
Of all these men, Gu Mohan was the coldest to her.
But she was particularly fond of him. Perhaps it was her desire to conquer him; she simply wanted to bring him down from his pedestal.
She wanted to see the previously cold and aloof sheriff confess his love to her.
Then she'll give another firm rejection. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
As for whether you like it or not.
Ye Wanqing believed that a strong woman should act like a strong woman, and she liked all of that! But she didn't love anyone! She only loved herself!
Thinking of this, she followed, calling out, "Wait a minute, Gu Mohan!"
Gu Mohan stopped and turned to look at her.
"What's wrong?"
"I have something to tell you."
Ye Wanqing, panting, said, "You helped me this time. After we get off the train, I'd like to treat you to a meal. Will you give me a chance?"
"I'm busy."
Gu Mohan finished speaking coldly, then turned and left.
Ye Wanqing grabbed his arm, and Gu Mohan looked down at her hand. "What are you doing?"
"Gu Mohan, if you don't agree, I won't let go." Ye Wanqing was prepared to be shameless to the end.
"Let go, I have things to do." He lowered his voice and tried to struggle.
"I won't let go unless you agree to it." Ye Wanqing reached out and hugged his arm.
"You..." Gu Mohan tried to remove her hand, but she wouldn't let go.
Passersby on the train all stared at them, so Gu Mohan had no choice but to answer in a low voice.
"Okay, I agree."
“Then you can’t go back on your word.” Ye Wanqing reached out her hand and made a pinky promise with him.
Gu Mohan frowned, thinking it was a bit childish, but still reached out and tugged at her arm as if possessed.
This is truly bizarre.
The moment my little finger touched her, it felt like I was struck by lightning.
He quickly shrank back, not daring to look at her again...
Soon, after arriving in Shanghai, it was already late.
Ye Wanqing then hailed a taxi and took Gu Mohan directly to a five-star hotel.
As night deepened, the lakeside hotels were brightly lit, reflecting on the shimmering lake surface and creating an atmosphere of extravagance.
Inside the restaurant, a white tablecloth covered the long table, and silver candlesticks flickered with warm flames.
"I'm going to the restroom first. The food will be served in a bit. Don't leave, okay? If you dare to leave, I'll come to the police station to find you," Ye Wanqing reminded him.
"All right."
This was also Gu Mohan's first time eating here, and he looked around at the scenery.
Ye Wanqing went to her room early to change her clothes. She put on a wine-red silk slip dress, which made her skin look as white as snow.
She had also put on makeup, and her makeup was exquisite, her eyes sparkling with charm.
When she returned and stood in front of Gu Mohan, he could hardly take his eyes off her.
This woman, in such a short time, has actually dressed up like this...
"How do I look, Officer Gu?" Ye Wanqing smiled as she noticed him staring at her.
"Hmm." Gu Mohan quickly lowered his head, picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and his ears turned a little red.
Ye Wanqing noticed his change and was secretly pleased. "Officer Gu, I'm not a monster. You don't need to be afraid of me."
Gu Mohan's inner monologue: You're not a monster, but you're more alluring than one. He could kill a monster with a single blow, but not her.
Soon, the waiter brought the food and filled the table.
She sat opposite Gu Mohan and gracefully served him food, "Officer Gu, try this."
Gu Mohan's handsome face remained expressionless, his eyes deep and cold. In response to Ye Wanqing's enthusiasm, he merely nodded slightly, polite yet distant: "Thank you, you should eat too."
He took a few bites, his manners elegant. "It tastes good."
Ye Wanqing was not discouraged. She picked up the bottle of red wine that had been decanted and smiled, "Shall we have a drink to celebrate our rare time alone?"
Her fingertips lightly traced the stem of the glass, her gaze fixed intently on him.
Gu Mohan glanced at the wine glass, hesitated for a very brief moment, but still picked it up and gently clinked glasses with her.
The crystal glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound. Ye Wanqing tilted her head back and drank it all, but her gaze never left him.
Under her gaze, Gu Mohan slowly finished the wine in his glass.
"Gu Mohan, do you know how long I've been looking forward to this day of going on a date with you?"
"..." Gu Mohan almost spat out the wine in his mouth.
"What date? What are you talking about?"
Ye Wanqing smiled, and she stretched out her foot to secretly tease his trouser leg from under the table.
"Of course it's a date! In this situation, with only one of us, a man and a woman, what else could it be but a date?"
"Sorry! If that's what you mean, then I'm leaving!"
Gu Mohan quickly stood up. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, something uncontrollable might happen.
When Ye Wanqing saw that he wanted to leave, she didn't stop him and continued to sit there drinking tea with a calm and collected demeanor.
At this moment, Gu Mohan's brows furrowed slightly. He raised his hand to rub his temples, his eyes began to glaze over, and he felt a little dizzy.
"Officer Gu, are you alright? Are you a little drunk?"
Ye Wanqing then moved closer and asked with concern.
Gu Mohan shook his head, trying to stay awake, but his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
"This drink...there's something wrong with it..."
"How could there be a problem? You must be too tired. Let me help you to rest."
Ye Wanqing stood up and walked to his side, her soft arm "just right" supporting his swaying body. Gu Mohan tried to push her away, but his arm was too weak.
His consciousness was rapidly fading, and finally, a heavy sense of dizziness completely overwhelmed him, causing his head to tilt to the side and slump onto the dining table.
Ye Wanqing looked at his unguarded profile and smiled triumphantly. She gently stroked his thick black hair and murmured, "Gu Mohan, you are finally mine."
"Waiter, my boyfriend is drunk. Could you carry him back to my room for me?"
...
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting a bright spot on the carpet.
Gu Mohan was awakened by a splitting headache. He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and the unfamiliar crystal chandelier ceiling instantly alerted him.
He tried to sit up abruptly, but felt a strong wave of dizziness.
"Where is this?" He tried hard to recall and then remembered that he seemed to have been having dinner with Ye Wanqing last night.
Looking down at himself lying naked on the bed, he turned his head and saw Ye Wanqing lying next to him, fast asleep.
Her long, seaweed-like hair was spread out on the pillow, her shoulders were partially exposed, revealing her beautiful and delicate face.
The room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Gu Mohan's face instantly turned ashen as fragmented memories from last night flooded his mind...
Last night this was...
At this moment, Ye Wanqing's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. She stepped forward and took his arm, even snuggling up to him, and said coquettishly, "Gu Mohan, you're awake... You were so naughty last night..."
Gu Mohan blushed and asked awkwardly, "What happened between us last night?"
