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

Fu Lu smiled slightly, picked up the bag in his hand and shook it, and said softly, "Let's eat, your favorite tomato beef brisket."

After saying that, he walked straight to a small round table not far away, gently placed the bag on it, and then began to untie it.

Song Zhi sat obediently on the edge of the bed, quietly gazing at Fu Lu's busy figure.

Fu Lu moved with practiced skill and efficiency, quickly taking out the food and setting it out.

Perhaps sensing the girl's gaze, he turned his head and met Song Zhi's eyes, who had been staring at him.

Fu Lu's lips curled up slightly, forming a charming arc, and then he slowly walked towards Song Zhi.

He reached out and gently pinched Song Zhi's round and lovely cheek, asking softly, "Why are you looking at me?"

Song Zhi raised her delicate face, looked at Fu Lu, and said sweetly, "It's nothing!"

After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and continued, "By the way, can I be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?"

Fu Lu nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, the old man said that after you are discharged from the hospital, he will take you home for a visit."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi felt a surge of tension and unease.

Because she knew very well that the old man had never really liked her.

She lowered her head dejectedly and asked timidly, "Can I not go?"

Seeing this, Fu Lu quickly sat down next to Song Zhi, gently reached out and took her soft little hand, and asked in a gentle tone, "What's wrong? Why don't you want to go?"

Song Zhi gently shook her head, her lips pressed tightly together, refusing to reveal the reason.

Seeing this, Fu Lu didn't rush to ask further questions, but continued to coax softly, "Are you afraid of my father?"

However, Song Zhi remained silent, only lowering her head even further.

Fu Lu gently leaned close to Song Zhi's ear and coaxed softly, "What are you afraid of? I'm right here with you."

Song Zhi raised her head slightly, her eyes flickering, and said softly, "But I know that your father doesn't like me, so I really don't want to face him."

Who said he doesn't like you?

Fu Lu reached out and gently touched Song Zhi's hair, refuting her words with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at Fu Lu, her lips trembling slightly as she said, "How could that be? I can feel it. Every time he sees me, he doesn't have a good look on his face."

"Silly girl, he's just not good at expressing himself. In his heart, he has already accepted you as his daughter-in-law. After all, how could he not like the person I like? Besides, if he doesn't accept you now, he might not even be able to hold his own grandson when he goes to his coffin!"

Fu Lu smiled mischievously and said teasingly.

Upon hearing his explicit words, Song Zhi's cheeks flushed crimson, and even her ears burned.

She gave Fu Lu a playful glare, muttering, "Oh dear, how could you say such nonsense!"

After saying that, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Fu Lu again.

However, at this moment, Fu Lu stared intently at Song Zhi, his heart stirred by her ripe apple-like cheeks and luscious pink lips.

He swallowed unconsciously, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down involuntarily, and called out in a slightly hoarse voice, "Zhizhi..."

Upon hearing Fu Lu's call, Song Zhi's body trembled involuntarily. She then slowly raised her head, looking timidly at Fu Lu with her large, watery eyes, and softly replied, "Um... what's wrong?"

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and then said softly, "Open your mouth."

Song Zhi looked completely bewildered, but still obediently opened her cherry-like mouth slightly: "Ah... um..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Lu swiftly leaned in and kissed her delicate, luscious red lips with perfect precision.

Song Zhi's eyes widened instantly as she stared in disbelief at the handsome face so close to her. Her brain seemed to stop working completely at that moment, and she froze on the spot, unable to react at all.

Just then, Fu Lu's slightly muffled, deep voice reached Song Zhi's ears: "Baby, close your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi quickly closed her eyes tightly, feeling Fu Lu's passionate and affectionate kiss.

The next morning, as the sun rose, sunlight streamed through the windows and shone on the hospital's pristine white walls.

Fu Lu got up early, washed up quickly, had breakfast with her, and then went to arrange her discharge procedures.

He first went to the nurses' station to communicate with the medical staff about the relevant procedures and precautions, and then went to the payment counter to settle his hospitalization fees.

Meanwhile, Song Zhi was sitting quietly in the ward waiting for Fu Lu.

Her gaze wandered, occasionally glancing at the large tree outside the window that had sprouted new buds. Suddenly, the cell phone on the bedside table rang with a crisp ringtone.

Song Zhi snapped out of her daze and turned to look at her phone screen.

The caller ID showed a completely unfamiliar number.

She hesitated for a moment, but still reached for her phone, pressed the call button, and politely said, "Hello."

"Hey."

Upon hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Song Zhi's expression immediately turned cold, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Pei Jinnian.

She didn't expect that Pei Jinnian would continue to contact her.

Song Zhi was a little annoyed, and before she could speak, Pei Jinnian's voice came again.

“Zhizhi, it’s me.”

Pei Jinnian's voice was still so gentle, as if those unpleasant things had never happened between them.

Song Zhi asked irritably, "Is there something you need?"

Her tone was cold and impatient as she spoke.

Where are you? I want to see you.

Pei Jinnian seemed oblivious to the change in Song Zhi's attitude and continued talking to himself.

Song Zhi could no longer tolerate his persistent behavior and said irritably, "Pei Jinnian, aren't you annoying? We're over a long time ago. Please stop bothering my life."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Song Zhi continued, "Don't contact me again. Also, don't threaten me with my family and friends anymore. That trick doesn't work on me anymore. Okay, I've said everything I need to say. That's it. I'm hanging up now."

After saying that, Song Zhi pressed the hang-up button without hesitation and threw the phone aside.

She took a deep breath; her good mood had instantly turned into unbearable irritation because of Pei Jinnian's phone call.

The phone rang again the next second.

Song Zhi glanced at her phone screen impatiently and found that it was still displaying a completely unfamiliar number.

She frowned and pressed the reject button without hesitation.

However, just a short while later, the phone rang again, relentlessly.

At this moment, Song Zhi was already extremely agitated and restless.

She took a deep breath, grabbed her phone, and pressed the answer button forcefully.
