Her forearms were actually quite toned, with nice lines—no flab at all even when she waved her hand.
Xu Chengan suddenly stood up from his chair. He moved so abruptly that the chair behind him shifted.
“Comrade Lu Wan!” Xu Chengan’s expression was tense, his face serious.
Lu Wan was startled and looked up at him with a pout: “What’s wrong?”
“Has no one ever taught you not to undress in front of a man?” Xu Chengan tried hard to restrain himself, veins visible on his forehead.
Didn’t she know that not every man could resist her like this? She could be putting herself in danger.
“I’m wearing clothes underneath.”
Her shirt today was a jacket-style one with no buttons, layered over a gray sleeveless vest—completely normal attire.
“That’s still not allowed!”
“I’m not naked, and anyway, you’re my boyfriend. There’s no one else here. Is it still not allowed for me to show you?”
“Even with a boyfriend, it’s not allowed. You can’t wear clothes like this anymore!” Xu Chengan said coldly, then pulled money and tickets from his pocket. “Buy yourself some proper winter clothes.”
He had come today to give her money, and had exchanged quite a few fabric coupons with colleagues. Clothes that exposed arms or legs were no longer allowed.
Lu Wan glanced at the stack of money and tickets on the table—quite a lot. He really was generous.
Though she wasn’t short of money, it was the gesture that mattered.
Handsome, capable, generous—men like him were hard to find even with a lantern.
Lu Wan felt even more satisfied with him and reached out to grab his arm.
Xu Chengan stepped back, turning his face away. “Put your clothes on properly and keep your distance.”
Lu Wan stomped her foot in frustration. “Xu Chengan, are you even my boyfriend or not?”
Xu Chengan’s throat felt dry, his whole body scorching like red-hot iron. “I have to go now. I’ll come see you when I have time.”
Lu Wan didn’t expect him to leave so suddenly. She chased after him, grabbed his arm, and wriggled into his embrace. “No! I won’t let you go.”
Xu Chengan struggled to restrain his body. She was deliberately tormenting him.
His Adam’s apple rolled, and his voice was low and harsh as he looked down at her: “Lu Wan, do you really insist on this?”
Before she could even understand what he meant, he bent down and kissed her lips, his arms holding her firmly against his chest.
Xu Chengan had clearly no experience with this at first—he didn’t know how to kiss properly, bumping into her teeth several times.
But he learned quickly and soon got the hang of it, making Lu Wan gasp softly.
His eyes were red, his arms muscular and strong, like walls of bronze and steel, restraining Lu Wan. She needed to learn a lesson—some things shouldn’t be done in front of a man.
Xu Chengan finally let go, looking at her slightly swollen lips, plump and glossy like ripe berries, making him want to taste them more.
“Do you dare to do that again?” His voice was hoarse, restraining the desire inside him.
Lu Wan caught the warning in his tone but wasn’t afraid at all. Her fox-like eyes sparkled with a mischievous smile.
She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him again, teasingly blinking. “I dare. I want to kiss you more.”
Xu Chengan’s face darkened. This little demon was driving him crazy. Didn’t she know his self-control wasn’t that strong?
“I’ll be out for a few days. Take care of yourself,” Xu Chengan said, still not pushing her away.
“Where are you going?” Lu Wan looked clearly disappointed.
They had just started dating, and now he was leaving.
Xu Chengan remained silent. Lu Wan pouted. “I get it. You can’t say because of discipline.”
He couldn’t help but say softly, “I’ll come back as soon as possible.”
All the spies in Yong’an County were caught last night. He had to report back, but he should return to duty soon.
Also, his marriage report needed approval from the team. Once he handled it, they could get the marriage certificate.
“Then… can you kiss me again?” Lu Wan blinked at him, looking pitiful.
He couldn’t say where he was going, couldn’t say when he’d return, but surely he could at least kiss her, right?
She loved company. Even at school, she would drag her best friend to the bathroom with her.
Now, being alone here felt empty. She really wanted someone with her.
And of course, she most wanted him there.
Xu Chengan was about to be driven insane by her. Which man could resist this?
He bent down, and Lu Wan immediately stood on tiptoe to press her lips to his.
Xu Chengan had gained experience. The room was filled with soft, intimate sounds.
Lu Wan’s hands hugged his waist, exploring under his shirt. His abdomen was flat and toned—the kind of lean strength she liked, honed from real training, different from gym muscles.
Those exaggerated muscles were nothing compared to his natural strength.
Lu Wan couldn’t resist pinching his waist.
Xu Chengan immediately grabbed her hand, his breathing heavy. “You’re really tormenting me!”
He would deal with her properly once he returned this time.
…
When Lu Wan arrived at the factory, she saw a crowd gathered around the bulletin board, chattering excitedly.
Lin Zhenzhen’s apology letter had been posted for two days, so it shouldn’t have caused such a stir.
Could there be a new notice from the factory?
As Lu Wan hesitated, she noticed people looking at her strangely as they came out.
Zhang Na squeezed through the crowd and, seeing Lu Wan, hesitated for a moment before running over. “Come on. Don’t look. It’s all nonsense—disgusting.”
“What is it?”
“They’ve posted several love letters on the bulletin board, written to you by who knows who. It’s super gross.”
