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

She instinctively lowered her head, too shy to look the other person in the eye. Her hands nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, and she muttered to herself, "Hmph, I'm not a child anymore. I'll be an adult in a few months."

Zhou Yan didn't hear Wei Yinuo's mutterings. He simply picked up a large shrimp and put it in Wei Yinuo's bowl, saying gently, "Eat more, and try to grow taller."

Wei Yinuo was feeling quite pleased with Zhou Yan's praise, but after hearing these words, all her good mood vanished instantly, replaced by a surge of anger.

What is this? Is it implying that you are short?

Even though I'm not exactly tall, I can't just say that so bluntly in front of other people.

This is too much!

Wei Yinuo grew angrier the more she thought about it, and glared angrily at Zhou Yan.

Sitting to the side, Lin Chu saw everything. Seeing Wei Yinuo's furious expression, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Then, she gave Zhou Yan a coquettish look and spoke up for Wei Yinuo, saying, "Zhou Yan, how could you say that about a young girl?"

Zhou Yan, however, seemed completely unconcerned, shrugged, and casually replied, "That little girl has a lot on her mind."

After saying that, he looked at Wei Yinuo and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Uncle won't look down on you."

Wei Yinuo: "..."

After finishing their meal, Zhou Yan stood up, smiled, and said to Wei Yinuo, "Let me take you home."

Wei Yinuo waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No need, no need, really no need to trouble you."

She didn't want to be a third wheel anymore.

Zhou Yan clearly didn't see through the little girl's thoughts and insisted, "Yinuo, I promised your uncle that I would take you home safely. It's my responsibility."

Hearing this, Wei Yinuo felt somewhat helpless, but didn't know what else to say.

At this moment, Lin Chu smiled gently and asked softly, "Yi Nuo, where do you live?"

Wei Yinuo quickly replied, "I live on Limin Road, which isn't on your way, so it's more convenient for me to take a taxi back."

However, before Lin Chu could speak, Zhou Yan took over without hesitation: "It's okay, we'll take you back first, and then take Lin Chu."

These words surprised not only Wei Yinuo, but also Lin Chu.

After all, she and Zhou Yan had known each other for so many years. Although they often went out to eat and socialize together, Zhou Yan had never offered to take her home.

This time, Lin Chu was pleasantly surprised to find that she was being given a ride along because she was taking Wei Yinuo home.

Seeing Zhou Yan's determination, Lin Chu naturally wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip by.

She immediately smiled and agreed, "That's right, Yinuo, let your uncle and I take you home first."

Before Wei Yinuo could say anything, Zhou Yan reached out and unceremoniously blocked her slightly thin shoulder, saying in an unquestionable tone, "Let's go, my little niece."

Without saying a word, he pulled Wei Yinuo toward the car.

Soon, the two arrived at the car.

Zhou Yan didn't say a word more than necessary. He went straight forward and opened the passenger door without hesitation.

Wei Yinuo quickly refused, saying, "I still want to sit in the back."

However, faced with Wei Yinuo's resistance, Zhou Yan had a forced smile on his face and continued to coax her, "Oh, be good, just sit next to me."

Hearing this, Wei Yinuo was speechless and muttered to herself: This guy is really a complete straight man!

She subconsciously raised her head, and her gaze fell on Lin Chu who was standing next to her.

Lin Chu's expression didn't look too good at the moment, and she seemed to be showing a hint of displeasure.

Wei Yinuo's eyes darted around, and a bright smile immediately appeared on her face. Then she said to Lin Chu, "Sister Lin Chu, how about you sit in the passenger seat? I usually prefer to sit in the back when I'm in a car because I feel that the space there is more spacious."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Chu with her big, expectant eyes.

Lin Chu was clearly taken aback by Wei Yinuo's sudden words, but only for a moment before she reacted and smiled in response, "Is this really okay?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhou Yan, who was standing to the side, as if waiting for his opinion.

At this moment, Zhou Yan slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and replied nonchalantly, "Lin Chu, you can sit in the back. This little girl always likes to play on her phone when she's on the bus, so I have to keep an eye on her all the time."

Lin Chu's expression froze instantly, and an awkward look quickly crept onto his face. He forced a smile and said, "That's true. Playing on your phone in the car is not a good habit."

After saying that, Lin Chu opened the back door of the car on her own, got in quickly, and closed the door behind her.

Wei Yinuo, left standing to the side, stomped her feet in anger, her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish. She glared fiercely at Zhou Yan, her eyes filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yan looked rather helpless, and could only shake his head with a wry smile. Then he gently placed his hand above the door frame and said softly, "Alright, my young lady, please get in the car."

Wei Yinuo rolled her eyes at Zhou Yan before bending down and getting into the car.

After the car started, it drove on, and the interior was unusually quiet, as if time had stood still.

Only Lin Chu would occasionally break the silence and chat with Zhou Yan about their university days.

Suddenly, as if remembering something important, Lin Chu asked, "Hey, Zhou Yan, do you still remember that girl you used to pursue so desperately?"

Zhou Yan scratched his head blankly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Oh, you mean Zhang Meng? What happened to her?"

Lin Chu raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, and said, "Oh dear, they're already married. Didn't you even receive an invitation?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan shook his head and frankly replied, "No, I really didn't receive it."

Lin Chu looked slightly surprised: "I was thinking you would receive an invitation."

"It's good that we didn't receive it; this way we can save on the money for the gift."

Lin Chu chimed in, "You, Young Master Zhou, aren't short of money."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh, "In the blink of an eye, we've already graduated for three or four years. Time really flies."

Zhou Yan didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze to An An sitting quietly beside him, a slight smile playing on his lips as he teased, "My dear niece, what year are you in college this year?"
