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

"Does Pei Jinnian know it's Fu Lu?"

Qin Zheng frowned and asked again with a puzzled look.

Hearing this, Xiao Wan, who was sitting next to the hospital bed, looked impatient. She pouted and replied irritably, "What does it have to do with him? He has a girlfriend himself, so stop meddling and getting involved!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Song Zhi slowly raised her eyes and immediately saw Wei Yinuo and Xu Ning walking in side by side.

As soon as the two entered the room, they saw that there were other people present, and their faces immediately showed a little embarrassment and awkwardness.

"Auntie, I'm back!"

Wei Yinuo reacted quickly, and she immediately raised a smiling face and cheerfully called out to Song Zhi.

Song Zhi smiled gently at her and asked softly, "What did you two buy?"

Wei Yinuo quickly held up the bag she was carrying and said proudly, "We bought lots of fresh fruit and some delicious desserts, Auntie, would you like some?"

Song Zhi gently shook her head and politely declined, saying, "I don't want to eat anything right now."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Wan and Qin Zheng beside her, and warmly invited them, "Would you like to eat something?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan quickly waved her hand and said repeatedly, "No need, no need. I thought you would be bored staying in the ward alone, so I specially came over to keep you company."

Now that you have someone with you, I feel relieved. I'll head back now.

After saying that, she turned to look at Qin Zheng standing beside her, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Mr. Qin, shall we go?"

Seeing this, Qin Zheng also stood up. He smiled and said, "In that case, let's leave first and come to visit you another day!"

Song Zhi nodded slightly, and after exchanging pleasantries with them for a while, she watched the two leave.

As soon as the two stepped out of the ward, Xiao Wan couldn't wait to speak first: "How about it? Now you believe me, right? I told you long ago that you had no chance at all, but you just wouldn't listen to my advice."

Qin Zheng sighed helplessly and replied with a dejected look, "Oh dear, who would have thought that her boyfriend would be Fu Lu? You didn't tell me beforehand."

Xiao Wan spread her hands, looking quite innocent: "You didn't tell me either."

Qin Zheng shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, for someone as rich, handsome, and with a top-notch figure as me, what kind of beautiful woman in the world can't I get!"

After saying that, he asked with a curious look, "By the way, how did Song Zhi and Fu Lu meet?"

Logically speaking, they're from completely different worlds, so how could they know each other?

Xiao Wan shook her head slightly: "I don't know either."

Qin Zheng's eyes widened, clearly surprised by Xiao Wan's answer: "Aren't you two really close friends? How do you even know about something like this?"

Xiao Wan immediately retorted without backing down: "Please, brother, even among good friends, everyone needs to maintain some private space. Do you have to pry into everything?"

Just as Xiao Wan finished speaking, a crisp and melodious cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded...

Xiao Wan took her phone out of her bag and glanced at the screen. She found that it was her own brother calling. She quickly gestured for Qin Zheng to be quiet, then swiped her finger lightly to answer the call, saying, "Hello, brother."

No one knows what Xiao Wan's brother said. Xiao Wan sighed helplessly, "Oh dear, another blind date. I just graduated from university. I have a long life ahead of me. How can I jump into the grave of marriage so early?"

Upon hearing Xiao Wan's words, Qin Zheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gloating smile.

He was about to make a few teasing remarks to Xiao Wan when his phone rang the next second.

Qin Zheng took out his phone and glanced at it; it was a call from his elderly mother.

Qin Zheng sighed helplessly and pressed the call button.

"Hey, Mom."

"Where are you now?"

Qin's mother's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Qin Zheng looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Your aunt introduced you to a girl. Make time to meet her."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's previously relaxed face instantly fell, and he muttered irritably, "Blind date? Mom, can't you give me a break? I've only been back in the country for a short time."

"You've got it all figured out, arranging blind dates for me right away. Do you think your son is so ugly he can't even find a wife and has to resort to blind dates to solve his life's most important matter?"

Qin Zheng's mother on the other end of the phone clearly ignored his complaints and continued to urge him to go on blind dates.

Finally, unable to bear the nagging any longer, Qin Zheng reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay, I know, but I've been really busy lately and haven't had a chance to go on blind dates."

How about this: could you send me their WeChat ID? I'll add them and chat with them first, and then we can meet in person to discuss things in more detail later, okay?

Before Qin's mother could say anything more, Qin Zheng impatiently said, "I've already backed down to this extent, that's enough."

Qin's mother's slightly displeased voice came through the phone receiver clearly: "Are you still thinking about that Song Zhi?"

Hearing this, Qin Zheng was speechless. He frowned and replied, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? That happened so many years ago! It's all in the past."

However, Qin's mother clearly did not believe his explanation and continued firmly, "Hmph, don't think I don't know that you couldn't wait to go find her as soon as you got back."

Faced with his mother's questioning, Qin Zheng became increasingly irritated, but he couldn't show it, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing that her son had stopped talking, Qin's mother seemed to realize that she might have angered him, so she quickly softened her tone and gently advised, "Son, let me tell you the truth, that Song Zhi is really not suitable for you. Please don't be foolish and get stuck on this."

Qin Zheng sighed helplessly and replied, "I know."

At this point, Qin's mother changed the subject and brought up another matter: "So, regarding the blind date, you'll listen to your mother?"

Qin Zheng compromised: "Let's chat on WeChat first. If we meet in person, it will be awkward since we don't know each other well."

After hearing this, Qin's mother agreed: "Okay, then I'll go and tell your aunt to arrange for you two to add each other on WeChat first."

Qin Zheng casually replied, "Okay."

After his mother hung up the phone, Qin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put his phone into his pocket.

His feelings were quite complicated at that moment...
