The President's Tender Trap

As their wedding approaches, Su Wan and Lu Ming's relationship, despite its sweetness, begins to become strained. Although both strive to make each other happy, seemingly minor misunderstandings begin to creep in, creating a sense of unease in both of them.

That night, Su Wan was busy preparing the details of the wedding at home when she suddenly received a call from Xiaoya.

"Su Wan, have you heard? It seems that there has been new progress in the matter between Lu Ming and Li Yan." Xiaoya's voice came through the phone with a little surprise.

"What new progress?" Su Wan's heart suddenly tightened, and she felt an uncontrollable uneasiness.

"I heard that Li Yan came back recently. She works in your company, did you know that?" Xiaoya said cautiously, as if afraid of affecting Su Wan's mood.

"I don't know." Su Wan's voice trembled slightly, and her heart was in turmoil. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "I'll ask Lu Ming."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wan felt a surge of irritation. She tried to tell herself not to be so sensitive, but the uneasiness within her surged like a tide. During dinner, Su kept thinking about how to ask Lu Ming.

"What's wrong today? You look absent-minded." Lu Ming asked while cutting vegetables, his eyes full of concern.

Su Wan forced a smile, trying to hide her inner fluctuations: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

"You should have a good rest and don't be too tired." Lu Ming said, his eyes full of worry.

At this moment, Su Wan felt unhappy. Thinking of what Xiaoya mentioned, she couldn't help but ask, "Lu Ming, Li Yan came back recently, right?"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then looked puzzled: "How did you know?"

Su Wan's heart tightened, and she felt a little uneasy. What she said in front of Xiaoya was actually heard by Lu Ming. She had no reason to hide it, so she answered frankly: "I received a call from Xiaoya today. She mentioned that Li Yan had returned."

"I see." Lu Ming's tone was filled with helplessness. "She did come back, but I have nothing to do with her anymore."

"You are still working in the same company now, it's hard for me not to think too much." There was a hint of uneasiness in Su Wan's voice, and her trust in Lu Ming began to waver again.

"Su Wan, I've told you many times that the past is the past, and I hope you can let it go." Lu Ming's tone began to become a little impatient, and he seemed to be bored with this topic.

"Let go? How can I let go? You know I've always been a little worried." Su Wan's voice rose a few degrees, and her emotions gradually became agitated.

"I sincerely hope you can believe me instead of always doubting me!" Lu Ming's face also became serious, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes.

Su Wan was hurt by his words and retorted: "I'm not doubting you, I just want to know the truth!"

"I've already told you the truth. Isn't that enough?" Lu Ming's voice was filled with dissatisfaction. "I hope you can trust me, instead of being suspicious!" The atmosphere between them suddenly became tense, and the once warm dinner became extremely awkward. Su Wan felt wronged, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't want to shed them in front of Lu Ming.

"I just want a clear answer. Is this wrong?" Her voice was low and her heart was full of helplessness.

"I hope you understand how I feel, too." Lu Ming's tone softened, but the anger in his eyes remained. "I don't want to talk about Li Yan anymore. It's all in the past."

Su Wan said nothing more, simply lowering her head silently, her heart filled with loss and unease. She didn't know how to face Lu Ming, nor how to make him understand her feelings. Their arguments had left her exhausted, and her doubts deepened. After dinner, Su Wan sat alone on the sofa, a whirlwind of emotions. She felt her trust in Lu Ming weakened by their repeated arguments, and the shadows of the past seemed to return to her. She wanted to communicate with Lu Ming, but she was afraid that such communication would only spark another argument.

"What should I do?" Su Wan muttered to herself, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

At this moment, Lu Ming came over and sat next to her, his eyes full of concern. "Su Wan, I know you are unhappy about our quarrel just now, but I hope you understand that I really care about you."

"But I'm always worried that Li Yan is still in your heart." Su Wan finally couldn't help it, tears burst out, and all the grievances in her heart burst out completely at this moment.

"I have never hidden my feelings from you, Su Wan, I only love you." Lu Ming's voice gradually softened, and a gentle light flashed in his eyes.

"But I just can't control my emotions." Su Wan sobbed, feeling a surge of guilt in her heart. "I don't want to disappoint you, but I'm just scared."

Lu Ming gently held her hand, and the warm touch calmed Su Wan's heart a little. "I hope you can trust me, and I hope we can be honest with each other instead of hurting each other due to misunderstandings."

"I understand, but sometimes it's really hard for me." Su Wan raised her head, a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"I will try my best to make you feel safe, Su Wan. I hope you can be brave enough to share your feelings with me instead of hiding them in your heart." Lu Ming's voice was gentle and firm, his eyes full of expectations for the future.

"I will try my best." Su Wan's heart gradually calmed down, and her tears were gradually replaced by understanding and warmth.

Just then, Su Wan's phone suddenly rang. It was Xiaoya's message. She opened it and saw the message: "Su Wan, I heard that Li Yan has been very active in the company recently. Are you okay?"

Looking at this message, Su Wan's heart tightened, and her doubts surfaced again. She didn't know how to reply to Xiaoya, nor did she know how to explain these things to Lu Ming.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Ming noticed her mood change and asked with concern.

"It's okay, Xiaoya just sent a message." Su Wan hesitated a little, but finally decided to conceal the message, thinking that she didn't want to provoke a new quarrel anyway.

"You must remember that I will always be by your side to support you." Lu Ming said softly, with a firm belief in his eyes.

After this argument, Su Wan and Lu Ming's relationship was put to the test. Although both tried hard to make each other happy, the uneasiness in their hearts remained. Su Wan realized that only through honest communication could they resolve their misunderstandings and rebuild the bridge of trust.

In the following days, Su Wan tried to communicate more with Lu Ming. She began to express her feelings bravely, and Lu Ming also tried to make her feel safe.

However, even with Li Yan's return, Su Wan's uneasiness persisted. She began to frequently monitor Lu Ming's movements, fearing a new connection between him and Li Yan. Whenever Lu Ming received a call from Li Yan, Su Wan felt a surge of unease. Although she tried to remain calm, she couldn't suppress the emotion.

"How should I face all this?" Su Wan said to herself, her heart full of confusion.
