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

However, Song Zhi stubbornly shook her head and said defiantly, "I'm not nervous at all!"

After she finished speaking, she subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Fu Lu held it too tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.

Seeing her adorable yet defiant appearance, Fu Lu couldn't help but smile and said nothing more.

Song Zhi took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily, as if this would release all the tension in her heart.

After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but speak again, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Ninth Brother, what if... what if your father doesn't agree to us being together?"

Hearing this, Fu Lu turned to look at Song Zhi, his eyes full of doting affection, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, he will definitely agree."

For some reason, when Song Zhi heard Fu Lu's confident words, her anxious heart actually calmed down a little.

About half an hour later, the car slowly approached a magnificent, ornate iron gate.

Upon seeing the magnificent building before her, Song Zhi's eyes widened, and an undisguised excitement appeared on her face: "Have we arrived? Are we already here?"

"Not yet, don't worry."

As Fu Lu finished speaking, the heavy iron gate began to slowly move to both sides, making a dull sound.

Song Zhi stared wide-eyed at the gradually opening door, and when she saw the scene behind it, she couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.

Behind the iron gate, a winding asphalt road stretched out.

Song Zhi thought that the iron gate led to the end of the road, but it turned out to be just an endless asphalt road.

Song Zhi pouted and said, "Why haven't we arrived yet? I thought we had already arrived."

Fu Lu smiled slightly and replied softly, "Don't rush, we'll be there in a few more minutes."

After saying that, he skillfully stepped on the gas and drove the vehicle onto the quiet asphalt road.

The Fu family's old residence is located in the middle section of Yufeng Mountain, with large groves of lush fir trees neatly arranged on both sides of the road.

These fir trees are tall and straight, with lush foliage, resembling a green ocean.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

Song Zhi was captivated by the beautiful scenery. Unable to contain her curiosity, she gently leaned out of the car window, pressed her face against the window, and stared intently at the rapidly receding tree branches and the azure sky outside.

A gentle breeze brushed her face, bringing a touch of coolness and the fragrance of grass and trees.

Wow, Ninth Brother, your family lives in such a beautiful place!

Song Zhi turned around excitedly and said to Fu Lu.

Fu Lu's lips curled up slightly: "So what do you think of this place? Do you like it?"

Song Zhi nodded vigorously: "Of course I like it. It's far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air is fresh, and the environment is beautiful. It's really suitable for retirement."

"Come stay here more often in the future."

Song Zhiwei was taken aback, then blushed and remained silent.

A cool breeze swept over her, dispelling the heat from her face.

Along the way, Song Zhi leaned against the window, admiring the beautiful scenery along the roadside.

Before we knew it, the towering fir trees had gradually disappeared from view, replaced by patches of lush green lawns and meticulously maintained, colorful flowerbeds.

Song Zhi quickly took out her phone to take a picture.

Fu Lu chuckled and joked, "If you want to take pictures, I'll go with you to take them later. These pictures don't look good on you."

Song Zhi took a few pictures, but they were not satisfactory, so she had to put her phone away.

After the car drove smoothly on the asphalt road for several minutes, Song Zhi finally saw a magnificent Chinese-style building standing not far away.

She slightly raised her hand, pointed in that direction with her index finger, and asked with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, "Is it there?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu, who was sitting to the side, turned his head to look at the place she was pointing to, and then nodded slightly in response.

Song Zhi's eyes widened in surprise, her face filled with undisguised astonishment. She murmured to herself, "So antique and beautiful."

As the vehicle slowly approached, the entire mansion gradually came into clear view before Song Zhi's eyes.

The house is obviously quite old, but thanks to its excellent repair and maintenance, the black bricks and white tiles look brand new, as if they were just built recently.

The two two-meter-tall stone lions in front of the gate are even more majestic, adding a sense of solemnity and grandeur to the entire mansion.

Finally, the car came to a smooth stop in front of the gate.

Song Zhi carefully got out of the car and stood beside Fu Lu with slightly restrained movements.

Before even getting close to the house, a noisy commotion could be faintly heard.

Song Zhi's heart tightened involuntarily. Her already uneasy heart became even more anxious. She subconsciously lowered her voice and said to Fu Lu, "Ninth Brother, are there a lot of people here? I'm a little nervous."

Fu Lu sensed Song Zhi's nervousness and gently took her hand, softly comforting her, "Don't be afraid, it's probably just relatives visiting during the New Year. Don't worry too much."

Just then, a man in a smart Zhongshan suit hurriedly stepped forward, his face beaming with a respectful smile as he greeted Mr. Fu: "Mr. Fu, you're finally back!"

Fu Lu nodded calmly, then took Song Zhi's hand and stepped into the entrance hall together.

As soon as the door was opened, the once noisy and bustling hall became completely silent, as if time had frozen at that moment.

The servants came forward and helped Fu Lu slowly take off his black cashmere coat, then gently and quickly hung it on a special hanger.

Then, he stood in front of Song Zhi.

Before the servant could even open her mouth to speak, Song Zhi already felt a wave of unease wash over her.

As if by reflex, she hurriedly reached out to unbutton her thick sheepskin coat.

As the coat was taken off, a white, fitted undershirt was revealed underneath.

This base layer perfectly hugged Song Zhi's slender figure, outlining her delicate waistline in a way that was both exquisite and curvaceous.

Just then, a strong, resonant voice rang out from the spacious, bright living room. "Ninth Brother!"

Song Zhi subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The large living room was now full of people, and unfamiliar faces were staring intently at them.

Song Zhi never expected there would be so many people.

Faced with this scene, she nervously gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands.

Noticing Song Zhi's unease, Fu Lu, who had been holding her hand tightly, gently comforted her, "Don't be nervous, just stay with me."
