Sensing her stubbornness, Han Haoming met her gaze for a few seconds before suddenly striding forward and pulling her arm, heading towards his car.
"Han Haoming, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
Qin Siyue struggled in surprise. However, due to the vast difference in strength, she couldn't break free from his strong grip and was directly shoved into the passenger seat of a black Audi.
A few police officers watching from a distance were stunned by the scene.
Captain Han, although usually stern and reserved, treated his colleagues like brothers. Never before had he displayed such a domineering side.
At this moment, someone shouted with concern, "Captain Han, how can you be so rough with a girl? This won't win her over, it will only scare her away."
Han Haoming's expression darkened. Without even glancing at him, he drove the car out of the compound.
Sitting in the car, Qin Siyue rubbed her arm, her voice tinged with a hint of hoarseness as she spoke with grievance.
"Han Haoming, wasn't your behavior just now going too far?"
"I'm sorry, I... I was too hasty." Han Haoming glanced at her slightly red arm, his heart filled with guilt.
He felt he hadn't used much force, so how could it have turned red?
Qin Siyue glared at him with slight anger, "Are you that afraid of me coming to the police station to find you?"
But after waiting for a long time, the man did not respond, his lips pressed together, his gaze fixed straight ahead with a blank expression.
"Where are you taking me?" After a while, seeing his car turn onto the outer ring road, Qin Siyue couldn't help but ask.
This time, Han Haoming finally spoke, "Didn't you want to talk with me? Let's find a quiet place."
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped by Dongyue Lake in K City.
The two got out of the car, and Han Haoming, following a small path, walked towards the lakeside first.
Qin Siyue paused for a moment and then followed him.
The lake was vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye could see. The streaks of crimson from the evening sky were reflected on its surface, shimmering with the ripples stirred by the gentle breeze.
They stood side by side by the lake, gazing at the beautiful scenery. They couldn't help but take deep breaths, and their chests seemed to widen.
"What did you want to talk to me about? Go ahead," Han Haoming glanced at the woman beside him, his voice calm.
Qin Siyue looked at his chiseled profile and slowly began, "I know the content of your conversation with Sister Xi yesterday at noon."
"Oh," Han Haoming replied calmly, turning to look at her. "Since you know everything, I don't need to say more.
Qin Siyue, you should understand by now why I rejected you. Please stop wasting your time on me."
Yesterday, after telling Shen Xi the truth, he had guessed that Qin Siyue would find out soon.
He hadn't expected to encounter her before he even left.
"Understand what? What do you mean by wasting time?" Qin Siyue chuckled lightly, "Han Haoming, don't you think you're a coward when it comes to matters of the heart?
We like each other, so why can't we be together? Besides, that incident doesn't directly involve my father, so why do you insist on holding onto it?"
"Ha." Hearing her words, Han Haoming's heart trembled slightly, and he let out a low laugh. "Miss Qin, you are not me, so how can you understand the shadow that incident has cast in my heart?
We are simply not from the same world. I advise Miss Qin not to waste any more words. We have no future.
You should find a more suitable match of equal standing."
After speaking, he turned and began to walk away.
Qin Siyue, however, quickly stepped in front of him, reaching out to block his path. "Han Haoming, although you are a police officer, your heart is filled with resentment. You are not at all radiant and lack the courage to face your own feelings directly.
Don't you think living like this is exhausting? I came to see you today precisely to tell you this. I will not give up on this relationship, nor have I ever considered giving up."
Han Haoming frowned, looking at her with confusion. "Qin Siyue, I have already told you everything that needs to be said. Why are you still so persistent?"
Abruptly, Qin Siyue stood on her tiptoes and, catching him off guard, placed a kiss on his lips. "Because you are the man I've chosen in this life, and I can't fall for anyone else.
Don't worry, my brother is investigating your father's death within the company, and he will surely provide an explanation.
Alright, I've said what I needed to say. I'm leaving now."
After turning around, her small face flushed with embarrassment. As she started to walk away in her high-heeled sandals, she moved too quickly and lost her footing, twisting her ankle.
The man standing behind her was stunned, still reeling from the kiss, when he heard Qin Siyue cry out, "Ah!"
His eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to catch her swaying body.
"Qin Siyue, are you alright?"
