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

In the private room.

Zhou Yan handed the menu to Wei Yinuo.

"Order what you like."

"Thank you."

He then took the menu.

Zhou Yan was a little surprised by the girl's sudden politeness and joked with a smile, "So polite?"

Wei Yinuo rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Uncle, I've always been very polite, okay?"

After saying that, he ignored Zhou Yan and looked down at the menu.

After ordering two dishes she liked, Wei Yinuo pushed the menu in front of Zhou Yan: "I've ordered."

Zhou Yan smiled and took it: "You've ordered so quickly?"

The girl responded softly, then asked the waiter, "Do you have a charger? My phone is dead."

Upon hearing this, the waiter smiled and asked, "What model do you have here?"

Wei Yinuo took out her phone and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter took it and glanced at it: "Yes, please wait a moment while I bring it to you."

Wei Yinuo shook her head: "Where is it? I can go get it myself."

"It's at the front desk. Order your dinner and I'll bring it to you."

"It's okay, I'll go by myself."

After Wei Yinuo finished speaking with a smile, she got up and left the private room.

After taking the charger from the front desk, Wei Yinuo returned the way she came.

It was lunchtime, and the corridor was quiet, with only occasional sounds of conversation coming from the private rooms.

"A promise."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Wei Yinuo turned around and saw her mother walking towards her with a puzzled look on her face.

"Mother."

Fu Ya stepped forward, looking at her with some confusion: "Why did you come here?"

Wei Yinuo said dismissively, "Come and eat."

"You and who?"

Without even thinking, Wei Yinuo blurted out, "With Uncle Zhou Yan. He said he'd treat me to dinner, hehe."

Fu Ya frowned: "Zhou Yan? When did you become so familiar with him?"

"Didn't you ask me to deliver something to my uncle? I ran into him in his office. He happened to be driving me home and stopped by for lunch. By the way, Mom, who are you having lunch with?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room next to him opened.

A well-dressed man came out.

When he saw Fu Ya, he smiled and asked, "Xiao Ya, what's wrong?"

Fu Ya stepped forward somewhat awkwardly, subtly blocking Wei Yinuo's path, and said to her, "It's okay, it's okay."

Wei Yinuo looked at her mother's actions with some confusion, feeling puzzled.

She asked in confusion, "Mom, aren't you going to introduce this uncle to me?"

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Fu Ya's face showed a hint of unease.

Before he could speak, the man beside him smiled and said to Wei Yinuo, "Yinuo, I am your mother's good friend."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Fu Ya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, "This is your Uncle Si, a very good friend of Mom's."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo thought for a moment and then said, "A very good friend, then he's also Dad's good friend?"

Fu Ya paused for a moment, then smiled dismissively, "Well, sort of, we all know each other."

Wei Yinuo nodded thoughtfully.

Si Tingye, standing to the side, smiled and asked, "Yinuo, would you like to have dinner together?"

Faced with Si Tingye's invitation, Wei Yinuo waved her hand repeatedly: "No need, no need, I'm with my friends."

Si Tingye generously suggested that Wei Yinuo invite her friends over for dinner, but Wei Yinuo declined.

He was about to say something more when Fu Ya spoke up, "Alright, if she doesn't want to, then forget it."

Then, looking at Wei Yinuo, he said, "Nuo Nuo, call your mother when you get home after you finish eating."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo frowned slightly: "Isn't Mom coming home tonight either?"

Fu Ya smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, of course I'll go back, but it will be very late if I go back, and Mom doesn't want to bother you."

Wei Yinuo pouted in dissatisfaction: "You and Dad are both so busy, and I'm all alone at home. I don't even want to be at home."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ya gently comforted her, "Okay, baby, Mommy will spend more time with you after I'm done with this busy period, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo was somewhat disappointed, but she still agreed.

"Okay, I'm going then."

Fu Ya nodded: "Go ahead."

Wei Yinuo nodded, looked at Si Tingye beside her, and politely said, "Goodbye, Uncle Si."

After saying that, he walked past the two men toward the private room Zhou Yan had booked.

When Zhou Yan saw the girl come in, he smiled and asked, "I thought you were lost and was about to go find you."

Wei Yinuo shook her head: "How could that be? I just ran into my mother and chatted with her for a while."

"Your mother?"

"Ah."

"What did she say?"

"She didn't say anything, just told me to call her when I got home after I finished eating."

Zhou Yan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this: "Is your mother trying to keep an eye on me?"

Wei Yinuo asked, puzzled, "Why would I need to protect myself from you?"

Zhou Yan smiled but didn't explain. "It's nothing. All the dishes are served. Let's eat. I'll take you home after we finish."

Wei Yinuo sighed and said, "But I don't want to go home."

"Why?"

"My parents definitely won't be back tonight, and I'm scared to be home alone."

Zhou Yan sighed and said helplessly, "Then what do you want, ancestor?"

Wei Yinuo thought for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yan expectantly: "Uncle, can I come to your house?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan suddenly started coughing violently.

Cough cough cough...

His face turned red from coughing.

Wei Yinuo didn't expect him to react so strongly, and said dismissively, "It's just going to your house, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? If you don't want to, then forget it, I'll go to Xu Ning's house instead."

After calming down, Zhou Yan stared straight at Wei Yinuo: "So, you often go to Xu Ning's house?"

Wei Yinuo shook her head: "No, this is my first time going. After my phone is charged, I'll call Xu Ning and ask him to come pick me up. You don't need to take me back."

"No."

Zhou Yan spoke without even thinking.

Wei Yinuo looked completely bewildered: "Why? You won't let me go to your house, and you won't let me go see Xu Ning either?"

"Who said I wouldn't let you come to my house? I'll take you home after dinner."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo's eyes lit up instantly.

"Yay, Uncle is still the best."

After finishing her meal, Wei Yinuo walked out of the restaurant and happened to see her elderly mother and Si Tingye getting into their car.

She instinctively chased after it, but the car had already driven off.

Zhou Yan, looking completely bewildered, chased after him: "What's wrong with you?"

Wei Yinuo pointed to the exit ahead: "My mother's car."

"They've already left."

Wei Yinuo didn't say anything, but just stared at her mother's car until the taillights disappeared into the traffic before turning around and getting into the passenger seat.

I had just fastened my seatbelt when someone knocked on the car window.

Wei Yinuo looked up.

I saw a well-dressed woman with a slim waist, long legs, and fair skin standing by the car.

She rolled down the car window with a puzzled look on her face.

When the woman saw Wei Yinuo, she paused for a moment, then smiled and said to Zhou Yan in the driver's seat, "Oh, Young Master Zhou, have you changed your taste?"
