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

Xu Ning nodded: "Of course."

Wei Yinuo could not hide her excitement as she took out the small gift box from the bag and opened it.

It's a four-leaf clover bracelet.

Wei Yinuo's eyes lit up immediately: "So beautiful."

Xu Ning's gaze fell on her face, and a faint smile appeared on his originally cold expression: "I'm glad you like it."

"thank you."

Xu Ning didn't speak, but just stared at her intently.

Wei Yinuo felt a little uncomfortable under his staring gaze and awkwardly asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Ning opened her mouth, "Yi Nuo, actually I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yan's voice came from behind him: "What are you doing standing there?"

Wei Yinuo looked up and met Zhou Yan behind Xu Ning. Her expression became somewhat evasive. She moved closer to Song Zhi and whispered, "Auntie, let's go, let's go. I don't want to see him."

Song Zhi looked at Wei Yinuo with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Wei Yinuo said somewhat guiltily, "It's nothing, let's go back to the private room."

With that, he grabbed Song Zhi and left.

When Zhou Yan met Wei Yinuo's gaze, Zhou Yan smiled slightly, but Wei Yinuo didn't even glance at him and walked straight past him toward the private room.

Zhou Yan's smile faded, and he looked up at Xu Ning with a serious expression: "Why did you chase after me?"

Xu Ning complained, "Brother, why did you suddenly come over? You made me, I..." Xu Ning stammered and couldn't finish her sentence.

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "What did it do to you?"

Xu Ning mustered her courage and said, "I was just about to confess to Yinuo, it's all your fault."

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and slapped Xu Ning on the head: "Are you looking for death? You're so young and you still want to have a relationship?"

Xu Ning covered her head in dissatisfaction, looking resentful: "I'm not in a relationship yet, I'm already nineteen."

"Are you unsure what your top priority is right now? Should I speak with Yinuo's uncle?"

Xu Ning immediately cowered when Zhou Yan mentioned Fu Lu.

"No, brother, I was wrong. Please don't tell Ninth Brother. If he finds out, he'll definitely beat me up."

Zhou Yan snorted coldly: "Not only does he want to beat you up, but I want to beat you up now too."

Xu Ning pursed her lips and remained silent.

Zhou Yan continued his stern reprimand: "Stop thinking about that and study hard. If you can't finish your studies, I won't hesitate to talk to your parents and arrange for you to study abroad."

When Zhou Yan said this, he emphasized the words "studying abroad" very much.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning scoffed dismissively.

"Then I'll confess to Yinuo in June, okay?"

Hearing that he was still planning to confess, Zhou Yan scoffed coldly: "You? Forget it."

Xu Ning protested, "Why?"

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and then said, "She won't agree."

"Why not agree? I'm just as good as you."

"She already has someone she likes."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning looked shocked: "How is that possible? How do you know she has someone she likes?"

As Xu Ning spoke, Zhou Yan couldn't help but recall the scene of that little brat confessing his feelings to him while drunk that day, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Seeing that Zhou Yan remained silent, Xu Ning pressed on, "Brother, tell me, how did you know so early?"

Zhou Yan grew impatient with his questions. But he couldn't very well tell Xu Ning that Wei Yinuo liked him, so he said irritably, "Anyway, I knew it. Give up."

Xu Ning snorted unconvinced, then, as if struck by a thought, her eyes crinkled into a smile: "Brother, you said Yinuo has someone she likes, could it be me? After all, we're childhood sweethearts, we've known each other since we were little..."

Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, Zhou Yan's face darkened, and he impatiently interrupted her.

"Impossible, she doesn't like you."

"Why don't you like it? I'm excellent too, okay?"

Zhou Yan looked at him with disdain: "Are you out of your mind? If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why are you asking so many questions?"

With that, she ignored him and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

Seeing him frequently return to the private room, Xu Ning called out to his retreating figure, "Brother, where are you going?"

Zhou Yan waved his hand with his back to him, "If you have something to do, you guys have fun by yourselves, but don't stay out too late."

Xu Ning gave a soft "oh".

All I could think about was what Zhou Yan had just said.

Does Wei Yinuo have someone she likes?

How can it be?

They grew up together and contacted each other every day.

He couldn't possibly not know that.

Even if there is one, it can only be yourself.

Thinking of this, Xu Ning relaxed and returned to the private room.

Inside the private room, three girls were singing.

When Wei Yinuo saw Xu Ning come in but didn't see Zhou Yan, she was a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask him directly.

Fu Yao, who was sitting near the door of the private room, smiled and asked, "Xu Ning, didn't Uncle come back with you?"

Upon hearing this address, Xu Ning frowned slightly and said with some annoyance, "Could you please stop calling me 'Uncle'? It's a bit disgusting."

Fu Yao's face stiffened, and her eyes involuntarily reddened. "No, I didn't..."

Upon seeing this, Wei Yinuo rushed over and said righteously, "Xu Ning, you're bullying Fu Yao again, aren't you?"

Xu Ning looked speechless: "I didn't bully her at all."

Wei Yinuo leaned closer to Fu Yao, and after seeing the tears welling up in her eyes from hunger, she angrily said to Xu Ning, "She's about to cry."

Fu Yao reached out and tugged at Wei Yinuo's hand. "Yinuo, I'm fine. Don't argue with Xu Ning because of me."

Song Zhi, standing to the side, looked at Fu Yao and couldn't help but sigh.

She's definitely a green tea bitch. Her ability to judge tea is probably thanks to the years she spent with Pei Jinnian.

Just as Song Zhi was about to speak, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside again.

"Baby, have you been drinking...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Min stopped abruptly after recognizing the people in the private room.

Wei Yinuo was overjoyed to see her elderly father suddenly appear.

She ran towards Wei Min with a smile, and affectionately took his hand: "Dad, how did you know I was here?"

Wei Min withdrew her gaze and said with a smile, "We were discussing work matters here, so I came over after hearing what the receptionist told me."

When Wei Yinuo heard that Wei Min had come for work, she realized that it was obviously not her birthday.

She angrily shook off Wei Min's hand: "Dad, today is my birthday, did you and Mom forget?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Min's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but she quickly concealed it.

He laughed and said, "How could that be? Dad prepared a gift for you."

As he spoke, he took a necklace out of his suit pocket and handed it to Wei Yinuo: "Look, this is a surprise Dad prepared for you. Do you like it?"

Looking at the necklace in Wei Min's hand, Wei Yinuo's grievances vanished. She picked up the necklace from his palm and excitedly gave Wei Min a quick kiss on the cheek: "Thank you, Daddy! I knew Daddy loved me the most, hehehe..."

Fu Yao, who was standing to the side, looked at the necklace in Wei Yinuo's hand, and unconsciously tightened her grip on her lap.
