He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Before Song Zhi could speak, Xiao Wan knocked urgently on the door again.

"Zhizhi, are you awake yet? Hurry up and open the door."

Hearing Xiao Wan's urging, Song Zhi became even more flustered.

"Why don't you get up first?"

Song Zhi called out anxiously.

However, Fu Lu seemed not to hear her, and continued to gaze at her quietly. At the same time, he reached out a large hand and gently but firmly took Song Zhi's small hand that was originally pressed against his chest.

The next second, Fu Lu pulled out an exquisite ring from somewhere on his body and slipped it onto Song Zhi's slender ring finger without hesitation.

Song Zhi stared in disbelief at the dazzling ring that had suddenly appeared on her finger.

After a while, she came to her senses and stammered, "What...what are you doing?"

Fu Lu smiled slightly, gazing affectionately at Song Zhi, and said slowly, "Zhizhi, the ring is already on your finger, so when do you plan to give me a formal title?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's lips twitched involuntarily, and she replied irritably, "Is this a confession or a marriage proposal?"

"Together."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi immediately became somewhat displeased.

She angrily reached out to take off the ring, and said irritably, "Hmph, no! Get up right now! How can someone propose like this so perfunctorily?"

After saying that, she pushed Fu Lu hard, trying to break free from his grasp.

They haven't even officially started dating yet, so why is he proposing?

Besides, when others propose, the room is often filled with the enchanting fragrance of fresh flowers, colorful balloons hang throughout the room, and there is a romantic and cozy candlelight dinner to accompany them.

Thinking of this, she glared angrily at the person in front of her, her little mouth opening and closing as she said, "Get up right now! Otherwise, I really won't talk to you anymore!"

After hearing this, Fu Lu looked at Song Zhi quietly for a while before getting up and sitting up.

Upon seeing this, Song Zhi quickly scrambled out of bed.

Fu Lu stared intently at Song Zhi with his deep, still eyes: "Why won't you agree?"

While hurriedly tidying her slightly disheveled clothes, Song Zhi picked up the ring on the bedside table and, without saying a word, stuffed it into Fu Lu's large hand, saying in a low voice, "Don't go out yet."

After saying that, before Fu Lu could react, she dashed to the door and opened it without hesitation.

The moment the door opened, a figure appeared in the doorway.

Xiao Wan stood there quietly, looking Song Zhi up and down with a suspicious expression.

She asked, puzzled, "Zhizhi, what are you up to? Sleeping in the house in broad daylight?"

Faced with Xiao Wan's sudden questioning, Song Zhi couldn't help but feel flustered and embarrassed.

She forced an awkward smile and stammered, "Oh, well, I went to bed too late last night, so I'm a little sleepy today, hehehe..."

As she spoke, she subtly moved out of the room, gently closing the bedroom door behind her.

Xiao Wan immediately noticed Song Zhi's guilty look, and her curiosity grew stronger. So she quickly stepped forward, grabbed Song Zhi's arm, and pressed, "You don't seem right. Tell me honestly, is there a man in the room?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi waved her hands repeatedly in denial, saying, "What nonsense! Don't make wild guesses and spread rumors, okay?"

Before she could finish speaking, the old lady's slightly aged but still strong voice drifted out from the small room: "Zhizhi, has that Xiao Fu already left?"

Upon hearing this, a fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed Song Zhi's face, but she quickly regained her composure and casually replied, "Yeah, they're gone, they should be gone."

As she spoke, she grabbed Xiao Wan's hand without a word and hurried towards the entrance, saying in a low voice, "Let's go, my grandma is staying with me right now, it'll be more convenient for us to talk outside."

Xiao Wan stopped her, saying, "It's snowing outside, it's so cold."

Song Zhi glanced helplessly out the window and saw that it was already snowing heavily.

Song Zhi sighed and conceded, "Alright, alright, then you sit down for a while, I'll go get you a glass of water."

Xiao Wan grabbed Song Zhi's arm and shook it coquettishly, "No need, no need, you..." Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Wan glanced up and her gaze fell on Song Zhi's slightly swollen lips.

She was taken aback at first, then leaned forward with a mischievous grin, teasingly winking and saying, "Oh ho, look at how swollen your little mouth is, have you made up with Pei Jinian? He wouldn't be hiding right here among us, would he?"

Song Zhi's heart pounded, and her eyes darted furtively toward the bedroom door, silently praying that Fu Lu wouldn't come out at this moment.

Seeing that he did not appear, Song Zhi finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Song Zhi hurriedly denied it, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. I have no relationship with Pei Jinnian for a long time."

As she said this, Song Zhi unconsciously raised her voice a few decibels, as if trying to increase the credibility of her words.

Xiao Wan stared at Song Zhi with suspicion, pressing her for an answer: "Who is that person inside the house? Could it be your new boyfriend?"

"There's no one here! There's absolutely no one here!"

Song Zhi waved her hands repeatedly, her expression showing some panic and helplessness.

However, her explanation clearly failed to convince the shrewd Xiao Wan.

Suddenly, Xiao Wan pointed directly at Song Zhi's mouth, and said with a half-smile, "Still trying to hide it from me? Before you lie to me, shouldn't you take a look at how swollen your own mouth is?"

Hearing Xiao Wan say that, Song Zhi felt a sudden pang of panic.

She quickly took her phone out of her bag, opened the camera app, and pointed the lens at her face.

When Song Zhi saw the two swollen, red lips on the screen, like ripe cherries, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Song Zhi thought to herself: Fu Lu, that bastard, must have done it on purpose.

You bastard!

While cursing Fu Lu in her heart, she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth, forcing out a dry smile, and stammered, "No, it's just a sore throat."

Clearly, this statement lacks credibility.

Xiao Wan persisted, asking, "Stop with the nonsense, just tell me the truth, who's the man in the room? Is he handsome? Is he powerful?"

Faced with Xiao Wan's relentless pursuit, Song Zhi was simply unable to cope.

She didn't want to talk to Xiao Wan too much right now, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about me anymore. By the way, didn't you just say you were getting married?"
