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

As the office door closed, Zhang Ying shook off Li Bin's hand, tidied her makeup, and then said with a smile, "Assistant Li, you see, I told you President Zhou wouldn't fire me."

Li Bin looked at Zhang Ying with a complicated expression.

Is this person delusional? The boss's attitude is already like this, isn't that obvious enough?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Ying assumed he agreed and said nonchalantly, "Once this project is completed, President Zhou will definitely look at me differently."

As she spoke, she swayed past Li Bin and headed straight for the office.

Looking at Zhang Ying's retreating figure, Li Bin was unsure of what to do.

But what we need to do now is hurry to the reception room to greet the guests.

When Li Bin arrived at the reception room, he saw Fu Lu and his assistant sitting in the main seats.

He stepped forward respectfully and said politely, "Mr. Fu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Fu Lu looked up at Li Bin and said calmly, "Where's your boss?"

"The boss has something to attend to and might be a little late."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu frowned.

What's up?

He took out his phone and dialed Zhou Yan's number directly.

But no one answered the phone.

Fu Lu frowned: "What's going on? He's not answering his phone. Is he in his office right now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bin nodded truthfully: "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Lu stood up: "I'll go straight to his office."

Seeing this, Li Bin hurriedly said, "Mr. Fu, please sit here and wait a few minutes. I'll go over and urge our boss for you."

Fu Lu thought for a moment and gave a faint reply.

……

At that moment, Zhou Yan sat in front of Wei Yinuo and raised an eyebrow at her: "Lift your legs up and put them on my lap."

Wei Yinuo looked at him somewhat awkwardly: "Ah, is this... not a good idea?"

"The doctor said to apply this ointment twice a day, but you didn't apply it even once today."

Wei Yinuo chuckled twice.

That's true.

But she never expected Zhou Yan to personally apply the medicine for her.

She only came to get her medicine.

She had planned to leave after everyone else had left, taking the medicine with her.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan simply had her sit on the sofa and helped her apply the medicine.

How embarrassing.

"Um, Uncle Zhou, how about I do it myself?"

When Wei Yinuo said this, her eyes flickered, and she was somewhat shy and embarrassed, not daring to look the person in front of her directly in the eye.

Her fair cheeks were as red as ripe apples, making her incredibly adorable.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan smiled slightly, his expression one of doting affection and tenderness.

Without hesitation, he reached out and gently but firmly lifted the girl's injured foot, carefully placing it on his thigh.

"Han Zhou specifically instructed that it should be massaged thoroughly with medicine."

As Zhou Yan spoke, he looked down and carefully examined the girl's foot injury.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "Actually... I can massage it myself."

"With those little hands of yours?"

Zhou Yan chuckled, his words full of teasing, "You'd better behave yourself."

After saying that, he ignored Wei Yinuo's protests and picked up the medicine bottle that had been prepared beforehand.

He opened the bottle cap and slowly poured some of the medicine into his palm.

Then, he clasped his hands together and rubbed them back and forth until he felt the medicine was completely warm before gently holding Wei Yinuo's slightly swollen ankle.

"Will this hurt?"

Zhou Yan looked up at Wei Yinuo.

Wei Yinuo shook her head slightly.

At that moment, she felt a tingling sensation coming from her ankle, making her involuntarily want to pull her foot back.

Zhou Yan suddenly gripped her foot tightly and whispered, "Don't move!"

Wei Yinuo immediately lowered his head obediently, like a child who had done something wrong, and dared not move an inch.

Her cheeks flushed even more as she shyly stared at the large hands that were tightly gripping her ankles, her heart pounding faster than ever before.

His hands were so big, and his palms were warm, like a burning flame, gently touching her skin and making her feel a little itchy.

Wei Yinuo couldn't suppress the strange feeling and involuntarily shrank back slightly.

Zhou Yan keenly noticed her reaction, raised his deep eyes to look at her, and asked softly, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Wei Yinuo quickly shook her head in denial: "No, it doesn't hurt."

She had barely finished speaking when her phone, which was lying to the side, rang.

Zhou Yan seemed completely oblivious to the ringing of his phone, continuing to focus intently on massaging Wei Yinuo's sprained ankle with skillful and gentle movements.

Seeing this, Wei Yinuo couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "Uncle Zhou, your phone..."

"Could you take this for me? My hands are full of medicine right now."

Zhou Yan said without looking up.

Hearing this, Wei Yinuo had no choice but to bend down and reach for her phone.

When she saw the note on the caller ID, she froze.

It was my own uncle calling!

For a moment, Wei Yinuo's heart was in complete turmoil, and she stammered helplessly, "My...my uncle..."

Zhou Yan slowly raised his head, a half-smile playing on his lips, and stared at her with interest, teasingly asking, "What? Afraid to answer?"

As if her thoughts had been read, Wei Yinuo shook her head frantically and answered urgently, "No, absolutely not!"

Looking at the extremely nervous girl in front of him, Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

He smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I won't answer."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had been granted a pardon.

She quickly put the phone back where it was, then pretended nothing had happened and ignored it.

Zhou Yan gently massaged Wei Yinuo's calf muscles, while a slight smile appeared on his lips as he softly said, "So afraid of your uncle?"

Wei Yinuo wrinkled her cute nose and pouted unconvinced, replying, "Who's afraid? This is clearly out of respect for him, okay?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes, and he smiled slightly, "I've never seen you respect me."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo blurted out without hesitation, "You are different from my uncle."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately became interested: "Oh, how is it different?"

Wei Yinuo lowered her head and remained silent, feeling somewhat guilty.

Suddenly, she remembered something and whispered, "By the way, Uncle Zhou Yan, do you know what my uncle has been up to lately?"

Zhou Yan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

“It seems that my aunt and uncle had a fight. Last night, my uncle went to make up with them, but my aunt ignored him. This morning, he bought breakfast for my aunt, but she didn’t eat it.”

Zhou Yan was somewhat surprised: "Did the couple have a fight?"

Wei Yinuo nodded: "I think so. I asked my aunt, but she wouldn't say. I don't know what my uncle did to offend her."
