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

Wei Yinuo hadn't expected the topic to suddenly shift to her, and was momentarily stunned. Her mouth opened slightly, and she subconsciously responded, "Huh? What...what?"

Seeing this, Zhou Yan smiled helplessly, reached out and gently tapped her forehead, his tone full of affection: "Look at this child, she was so engrossed in daydreaming that she didn't even hear her uncle talking to her."

Wei Yinuo quickly waved her hand, trying to cover up her embarrassment: "I was thinking about something, so I didn't notice what you just said?"

Zhou Yan repeated his previous question: "What year are you in college this year?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo's eyes darted away unconsciously, appearing somewhat guilty. She lowered her head and answered softly, "Big, first year."

Zhou Yan didn't notice anything unusual about the girl. Instead, he nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Hmm, not bad, not bad. Which university are you at now?"

Zhou Yan's sudden questioning made Wei Yinuo even more flustered. She secretly groaned, but on the surface she still pretended to be very impatient and said, "Oh, why do you have so many questions?"

Zhou Yan wasn't angry at all; instead, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said, with a half-smile, "Oh, you're starting to get impatient already?"

His gaze fell with interest on Wei Yinuo, who was standing beside him with her head down, like a child who had done something wrong and dared not utter a sound.

Wei Yinuo bit her lip tightly, her head almost buried in her chest, secretly annoyed.

Her academic performance was consistently poor, and she even struggled to get into an ordinary undergraduate university.

Fortunately, her parents did not criticize or pressure her excessively. Instead, they had already made plans to send her abroad to gain experience and prestige as soon as the college entrance examination was over.

After all, in their circle, many rich heiresses and young masters of wealthy families followed this path, and Wei Yinuo could only silently accept the future path arranged for her by her parents.

At this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly asked her which university she would attend in the future, which made Wei Yinuo, who was already feeling guilty, instantly flustered.

After hesitating for a long time, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she blurted out, "Peking University!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Wei Yinuo wanted to slap herself. How could she have been so impulsive?

However, it's too late for regrets now.

Because she really didn't want Zhou Yan to know that the real her was just a pretty face with no real talent.

Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Yan was visibly taken aback, but quickly recovered, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration as he smiled and praised, "Wow, that's amazing! I never expected you to get into Peking University. That's fantastic!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yan's praise, Wei Yinuo's cheeks flushed crimson, as if they had been roasted by fire.

The blush spread from her fair neck to her ears, making her already charming and lovely face even more shy and captivating.

Sitting in the back seat, Lin Chu also looked surprised and exclaimed, "Yinuo, it turns out you're an alumnus of our school! What a coincidence!"

Wei Yinuo was secretly surprised. She never expected that Zhou Yan, who always seemed carefree and irresponsible, would actually be a top student at Peking University.

Looking at the seemingly unruly but actually quite shrewd man before him, Zhou Yan forced a slightly stiff smile and said in a forcedly relaxed tone, "Yeah, fate, hehe..."

After saying that, she shrank back into her seat and remained silent. Only she knew that her heart was pounding with anxiety.

While waiting at a traffic light, Zhou Yan suddenly leaned close to Wei Yinuo and said in a gentle, slightly teasing tone, "Junior, if you ever encounter anything that requires my help in the future, just give me a call."

His voice seemed to possess a magical power, penetrating Wei Yinuo's ears and causing her heart to race as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

Wei Yinuo nodded hurriedly, not daring to look directly into Zhou Yan's deep eyes, afraid that she might accidentally reveal her true thoughts.

Overwhelmed with nervousness, she could barely speak and ultimately had to remain silent with her lips tightly closed.

Zhou Yan continued, "By the way, Song Xiaozhi is also a student at Peking University, and she's already a senior. If you have any questions or difficulties, you can ask her for help."

Wei Yinuo was startled again upon hearing this and blurted out, "Is it also my aunt?"

Zhou Yan smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said slowly, his eyes shining with undisguised admiration, "That's right, she is truly outstanding."

Sitting to the side, Wei Yinuo keenly caught the undeniable change in his expression, and her heart skipped a beat, as if she had been struck hard by something.

However, just as she was about to say something, the car had already smoothly come to a stop on the side of the road.

"Yinuo, we've arrived," Zhou Yan reminded him.

Wei Yinuo snapped out of her daze and hurriedly turned her head to look out the window.

Sure enough, what came into view was the familiar scene downstairs in my own neighborhood.

At this moment, her mind was in complete turmoil, and she was unable to calm down at all.

But out of politeness, she lowered her voice and said softly, "Thank you."

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly reached out and opened the car door, then jumped out of the car.

Watching Wei Yinuo's retreating figure, Zhou Yan was first taken aback, then couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, muttering to himself, "That little girl, she really runs fast!"

At this moment, Lin Chu, who had been sitting quietly in the back seat, suddenly chimed in, "Yi Nuo, why did she run off in such a hurry without even saying goodbye? That's so rude of her."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yan's face, which had been carrying a faint smile, instantly turned extremely gloomy, as if covered with a layer of frost.

He pursed his lips tightly, remained silent, slammed on the gas pedal, and sped off.

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became heavy and oppressive, making it feel somewhat suffocating.

Looking at the road ahead that was completely opposite to the way home, Lin Chu couldn't help but feel a little confused. After hesitating for a while, she finally couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "Zhou Yan, this road doesn't seem right. Shouldn't we turn around?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yan suddenly seemed to remember something important and slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a steady stop on the side of the road.

He turned around and said with a slightly apologetic expression, "I'm so sorry, Lin Chu, I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take you home. How about this, you can take a taxi back here, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chu's smile froze instantly. Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief: "Wh-what?"
