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

Then, Fu Lu said calmly and expressionlessly, "I overheard him saying that on the phone by chance."

As Fu Lu finished speaking, Fu Ya sprang up from her seat like a firecracker, her eyes wide with anger, and cursed indignantly, "That bastard, how dare he do such a thing! I'll teach him a lesson!"

As she spoke, she stood up aggressively and strode straight toward the door.

Just then, Fu Lu reacted quickly, rushing forward and blocking her path with his arms outstretched. He anxiously called out, "Sister, don't be impulsive! What if they deny everything when you just run out and confront them?"

Upon hearing her brother's words, Fu Ya instantly cooled down considerably.

Yes, I was indeed somewhat reckless in my actions.

So she stopped, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down.

After a moment, Fu Ya finally regained some composure and thought to herself: That's right, I can't be so reckless. I must investigate the matter thoroughly first.

Moreover, I need to think carefully about how to explain this to my daughter.

Thinking of this, Fu Ya couldn't help but feel a surge of unease, but she still forced herself to cheer up and let out a heavy sigh.

Immediately afterwards, as if she had suddenly remembered something, Fu Ya turned her head and looked at Song Zhi who was standing to the side.

A faint look of guilt appeared on her face. She lowered her eyes slightly and said with a guilty expression, "Zhizhi, I'm so sorry. What I said just now may have been a bit too harsh. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi quickly waved her hands and replied anxiously, "Oh, no need to apologize to me, it's really okay."

However, Fu Ya simply smiled and said nothing more. She then turned around and walked slowly out of the bedroom with light steps.

Song Zhi's gaze followed Fu Ya's receding figure until she completely disappeared from sight. Only then did she turn to Fu Lu beside her and ask cautiously in a low voice, "Ninth Brother, should I not have told you about that?"

Fu Lu looked puzzled and asked in return, "Shouldn't we have mentioned that matter?"

Song Zhi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up her courage to continue, "It was those things I overheard my brother-in-law saying that I shouldn't have said."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu gently pulled Song Zhi into his arms with one hand and stroked her hair tenderly with the other, softly comforting her, "Even if you don't say anything, this matter will be exposed sooner or later, so you don't need to feel too guilty or worried about it."

Song Zhi nodded gently, but her worries didn't lessen much. She couldn't help but sigh deeply again, and asked with some concern, "But how do you think my eldest sister will handle this? After all, in a family like yours, a marriage often involves complex relationships between two families..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Lu interrupted her: "Don't worry, Zhizhi. I believe that your sister has the ability and confidence to handle all of this properly. You should have faith in her and believe that she will be able to handle all the problems."

“But…” Song Zhi frowned, her lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something, but Fu Lu simply stretched out his long fingers and gently placed them on Song Zhi’s delicate, pink lips.

"Alright, don't worry about it."

As Fu Lu spoke, his gaze fell on Song Zhi's abdomen. "Isn't your stomach uncomfortable? Go and rest for a while."

Song Zhi shook her head and said, "No, let me finish what I have to say first."

Seeing this, Fu Lu nodded helplessly and said softly, "Alright, then you can speak."

After receiving permission, Song Zhi took a deep breath and slowly said, "If we really get a divorce, it will definitely cause a lot of harm to Yinuo."

At this point, her eyes reddened slightly, and her voice choked with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu's heart softened.

He reached out and gently rubbed Song Zhi's head, a faint smile playing on his lips as he comforted her, "Silly girl, Yinuo is almost an adult now, she'll gradually understand many things."

As he spoke, he stood up, swiftly and decisively scooped Song Zhi up in his arms, and strode toward the bedside.

Suddenly, she was lifted into the air. Song Zhi instinctively cried out in surprise and quickly reached out to hug Fu Lu's broad and strong neck tightly.

"Ninth Brother, what are you doing?" she asked, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Be a good girl and lie down and rest for a while."

As Fu Lu responded softly to Song Zhi, he carefully placed the person in his arms gently on the bed.

Looking at Song Zhi's slightly shy and embarrassed appearance, a hint of doting flashed in his eyes.

Somewhat embarrassed, Song Zhi pulled the blanket over herself from head to toe, leaving only her big, watery eyes blinking as she looked at Fu Lu.

Fu Lu slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a charming smile. He slowly extended his long, strong hand, gently took her small hand, and kneaded it in his palm.

"Does your stomach still hurt?"

Song Zhi nodded gently and replied in a low voice, "Yes, it still hurts a little."

Upon hearing this, a hint of heartache flashed in Fu Lu's eyes, and then he said softly, "Come on, let me rub it for you."

Before he finished speaking, he reached his hand under the covers without hesitation.

Before Song Zhi could fully react, she felt a warm sensation quickly spread throughout her body.

Fu Lu's large, warm hands were already covering her lower abdomen. The warmth of his palms penetrated through the thin clothing and reached her skin, giving Song Zhi an unprecedented sense of comfort and security.

Fu Lu's fingers began to massage rhythmically, with just the right amount of pressure—not too heavy to cause discomfort, yet effective in relieving the pain.

Gradually, Song Zhi's tense body relaxed, and the pain that had been bothering her slowly lessened under the gentle caress.

Feeling Fu Lu's thoughtful care, Song Zhi felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and couldn't help but tease him, "Ninth Brother, you're really skilled at this, haven't you given massages before?"

Fu Lu naturally understood the hidden meaning in his child's words. He slightly curled the corners of his lips, revealing a meaningful smile, and said softly, "You are the first."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi was taken aback and didn't react for a moment. She asked blankly, "What did you say??"

Fu Lu gently pinched the soft skin of her waist with his hand, and then slowly explained again, "This is my first time, you should understand now, right?"
