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

But before she could finish speaking, she heard the old man's loud and kind voice: "Zhizhi, how is your recovery going?"

Startled by the old man's sudden question, Song Zhi quickly sat up straight and put on a demure smile as she replied, "I'm completely healed."

The old man nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good. I've already instructed the gardener to thoroughly disinfect the yard, so there will definitely be no more situations like before. From now on, you can come and visit anytime you have time."

Upon hearing the old man's words, Song Zhi was startled, her face filled with disbelief.

Does this mean that the old man has already acknowledged and accepted me?

Before she could figure it out, the old man's steady voice came again.

"Let's find a suitable day so that our two families can get together and discuss your marriage with Lao Jiu properly."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

Seeing this, the old man looked at Fu Lu with a puzzled expression: "Ninth Brother, what's this?"

Fu Lu quickly reached out and squeezed Song Zhi's hand: "Zhizhi, my dad is talking to you."

Song Zhi then snapped out of her daze and hurriedly replied, "Oh, go ahead..."

She was so nervous that she stammered and couldn't form coherent sentences.

Fu Lu chuckled softly, "Take a look at Grandma and your dad's side, and when they have time, make some arrangements."

Song Zhi snapped out of her daze, but still couldn't suppress her astonishment, and blurted out instinctively, "Ah, how could it be so fast?"

She stared wide-eyed at Fu Lu.

Upon seeing this, Fu Lu frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Song Zhi's reaction.

He pursed his lips slightly and muttered, "Where is it fast?"

Song Zhi suddenly felt embarrassed, and a faint blush rose on her face.

She smiled awkwardly at Fu Lu, then lowered her voice and asked, "What's going on? Why were the parents arranged to meet?"

Looking at Song Zhi's bewildered yet adorable expression, Fu Lu's smile deepened.

Fu Lu gently patted Song Zhi's shoulder and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, just do as my dad says."

After he finished speaking, he slowly turned his gaze to his elderly father sitting at the other end of the sofa and said softly, "Dad, I will discuss this matter with her first, and I will inform you as soon as we have determined the specific time."

The old man nodded slightly: "Alright, just let me know in advance."

Fu Lu responded, then leaned close to Song Zhi's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Baby, how about I take you to your room to rest for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at the old man somewhat shyly and said softly, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Before he could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand with a smile and said kindly, "Go on, go on, you young people don't need to worry about this old man. I just remembered I have some things to take care of!"

After saying that, the old man slowly stood up and walked steadily toward the entrance.

Song Zhi gazed quietly at the old man's receding figure, then turned to look at Fu Lu beside her and asked cautiously, "Ninth Brother, has your father truly accepted me now?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu smiled slightly and nodded indulgently, replying, "Of course. If I didn't truly accept you, why would I agree to let us arrange for our parents to meet? Don't overthink it, silly girl."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi pouted and said coquettishly, "I'm not stupid. I just find it a bit unbelievable."

Fu Lu raised an eyebrow: "How is that unbelievable?"

"I never thought your father would accept me?"

Fu Lu reached out and gently patted her head, saying softly, "You're so wonderful, of course my dad will accept you."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly asked, "Really?"

Seeing how happy she was, Fu Lu couldn't help but reach out and gently ruffle her hair, smiling as he replied, "Really. Okay, stop thinking about it. I'll take you to my room for a tour."

After he finished speaking, he took Song Zhi's hand and led her upstairs.

As soon as he entered, Fu Lu quickly grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

His movements were so swift and powerful that Song Zhi had no time to react and was instantly pinned against the hard door.

Song Zhi looked at the man in front of her, who had suddenly become so domineering, somewhat bewildered, her eyes filled with confusion and surprise: "Ninth Brother, what... what are you doing?"

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was both surprised and nervous by Fu Lu's actions.

Fu Lu lowered his eyes and gazed at Song Zhi in his arms. His deep, pool-like eyes seemed to be burning with intense flames.

He gently pressed his head against Song Zhi's forehead and whispered, "Song Xiaozhi, are you happy to marry me?"

His tone was deep and magnetic, carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi was slightly taken aback.

She hadn't expected Fu Lu to ask such a direct question, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

After a moment, she came to her senses and asked, "Is this a marriage proposal?"

However, Fu Lu shook his head without hesitation and denied it, saying, "No."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and complained coquettishly, "Then why did you ask me? That's really ridiculous."

After saying that, she tried to struggle to break free from Fu Lu's embrace.

But Fu Lu did not let go because of her resistance. Instead, he lowered his head and gently placed a tender kiss on her pink and soft lips.

The kiss was as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, yet it sent a shiver down Song Zhi's spine.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Lu rested his head in the crook of her slender neck and murmured like a child, "A little excited..."

As Fu Lu spoke, his warm breath fell on Song Zhi's sensitive neck like a spring breeze, bringing a wet and hot sensation that made Song Zhi feel unbearably itchy all over.

She subconsciously reached out and pushed Fu Lu, calling out in a sweet voice, "Fu Lu, please let go of me and put me down, okay?"

However, Fu Lu seemed to ignore her request, showing no sign of letting go. Instead, he began to slowly walk around the bedroom with her in his arms.

As he walked, he said softly, "Be good, don't move. I'll show you around my room."

This sudden action startled Song Zhi, who was being held in his arms, and she was afraid that she might slip out of his arms at any moment.

She quickly reached out and wrapped her arms tightly around Fu Lu's neck, saying coquettishly, "Fu Lu, put me down quickly, I want to look around by myself, I don't need you to carry me."
