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

Although he kept his voice down, it still didn't escape Wei Yinuo's keen ears.

Wei Yinuo quickly turned her head, glancing at Zhou Yan with a provocative look, her face full of resentment.

Zhou Yan smiled helplessly: "His personality is like a little wildcat."

Wei Yinuo said irritably, "If you're talking about me, believe me or not, I'll bite you to death."

Zhou Yan was amused by the girl again, and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Wei Yinuo snorted coldly, not wanting to pay him any attention.

Zhou Yan didn't take it seriously, walked straight to the sofa, plopped down on it, crossed his legs, and started playing on his phone.

Seeing that Zhou Yan showed no sign of leaving, Wei Yinuo impatiently urged him on, "Hey, are you coming or not?"

Zhou Yan glanced at her and said lazily, "Uncle, I just arrived. Why are you in such a hurry to send me away?"

His voice carried a hint of laziness and casualness, sounding slightly husky, like the rustling of leaves in a summer afternoon breeze.

Wei Yinuo cursed inwardly, "What is this? It's clearly a scumbag's voice. You can tell he's not a good person just by listening to it!"

Wei Yinuo pouted, glared at Zhou Yan, and said irritably, "You're a grown man, and you've been staying here all this time. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Zhou Yan, however, seemed completely unconcerned, raising an eyebrow as he replied, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Are you shy? Are you captivated by your uncle's handsomeness?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yinuo's cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

She turned her head angrily, glaring at Song Zhi who was sitting leisurely on the edge of the bed eating, and said coquettishly, "Auntie, look how he bullies me."

Suddenly called upon, Song Zhi felt a little flustered. She looked up blankly and uttered a short question: "Huh?"

Seeing this, Wei Yinuo became even more furious. She quickly walked up to Song Zhi, her face full of grievances. She pointed her finger directly at Zhou Yan and pouted, muttering something.

"He's been bullying me, Auntie! Make him leave right now! I really don't want to see him again!"

However, Song Zhi seemed quite hesitant in the face of Wei Yinuo's request. She lowered her head slightly and replied cautiously in a low voice, "Oh dear, I'm afraid that's not a good idea..."

Hearing this, Wei Yinuo was incredulous. Her eyes widened as she stared intently at Song Zhi, raising her voice to retort, "Didn't you see it with your own eyes? He's already bullied me like this!"

Zhou Yan laughed and replied, "You were the one who bullied me first, weren't you? Look at my arms, they're covered in scratches and bite marks you left behind."

I told you, you little brat, you have quite the temper! If you keep this up, you'll never get married.

As he spoke, Zhou Yan deliberately raised his scarred arm.

Wei Yinuo pouted angrily, snorted, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him with her big eyes, saying, "Who told you to bully me? You deserve it!"

Her angry expression made her look just like an annoyed kitten.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's lips twitched slightly.

He muttered to himself, "How did this little brat become so temperamental? She used to be so well-behaved and adorable when she was little."

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but fall into memories, and the scene of his first meeting with Wei Yinuo gradually surfaced in his mind.

The little girl had two pigtails and wore a pink princess dress, looking like a porcelain doll.

When she first saw Zhou Yan, she took her short legs and ran towards him cautiously yet impatiently.

She hugged Zhou Yan's leg, raised her chubby little face, and said in a sweet, childish voice, "Brother, you're so pretty! Nuonuo likes you so much!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yan quickly squatted down, reached out his big hand and gently rubbed the little girl's soft hair, coaxing her softly in a gentle tone, "Sweetie, I'm not your brother, I'm your uncle."

After saying that, he winked mischievously at the little girl.

He didn't want Fu Lu to take advantage of him.

However, the little girl tilted her round head, blinked her big, bright eyes, and looked at Zhou Yan with a confused expression, seemingly puzzled by the address. She muttered to herself, "Uncle?"

Zhou Yan smiled and nodded, patiently explaining, "Yes, baby, I'm your uncle's good friend. According to seniority, you should call me uncle, not brother."

After saying that, he pinched the little girl's rosy cheeks, making her giggle.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan put aside his thoughts, raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Wei Yinuo. The moment their eyes met, Wei Yinuo glared at him fiercely.

Zhou Yan was both amused and exasperated.

They were cuter when they were little, all soft and cuddly.

Now that I'm grown up, my personality has become like a hedgehog, covered in thorns.

Zhou Yan shook his head, banishing these thoughts from his mind, and then slowly stood up.

He turned his gaze to Song Zhi and said softly, "I'm leaving now."

Before Song Zhi could speak, he left the ward.

As the door was gently closed, the ward fell silent.

Song Zhi raised her head, her gaze falling on the girl standing beside her. A hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes as she asked softly, "Yinuo, do you particularly dislike Zhou Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo paused slightly, then lowered her head, replying in a barely audible voice, like a child who had done something wrong, "No..."

Song Zhi smiled slightly, but did not say anything more.

Seeing that Song Zhi had stopped speaking, Wei Yinuo felt increasingly uneasy.

After a while, she finally couldn't help but ask again, "Auntie, can you promise me something?" As she spoke, she looked up at Song Zhi with expectant eyes.

Song Zhi looked at Wei Yinuo with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is it?"

Wei Yinuo quickly explained, "It's about what happened between Zhou Yan and me just now. Could you please not tell anyone else, especially my family?"

Song Zhi nodded in agreement: "Okay, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

After receiving a positive reply, Wei Yinuo finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

As for why she was so concerned about not letting her family know that she had been in contact with Zhou Yan, she couldn't explain it herself. She just subconsciously didn't want her family to know that she had been in contact with Zhou Yan.

For the entire day, Wei Yinuo stayed by Song Zhi's side in the ward.

Until Fu Lu returned to the ward.

When Wei Yinuo saw Fu Lu return, she didn't want to be a third wheel, so she softly suggested, "Auntie, my uncle is back, so I'll head back now."
