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

She originally planned to wait for her uncle to come over, and then she would quietly go home.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan was already waiting for her downstairs at the hospital at five o'clock.

Wei Yinuo had some doubts about whether Zhou Yan was not going to work.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Yinuo couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She got up and went to the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror to look at herself.

Today I'm wearing a simple sweatshirt and jeans.

A very ordinary combination.

She regretted it a little; she should have worn a skirt.

Song Zhi watched as Wei Yinuo went into the restroom and didn't come out for a long time, and a sense of curiosity welled up in her heart.

She finally couldn't help but shout, "Yinuo, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you come out yet!"

Wei Yinuo hurriedly walked out of the toilet.

Upon closer inspection, Song Zhi was surprised to find that Wei Yinuo's hairstyle had changed.

Her high ponytail had been transformed into a neat bun, and her lips seemed to have been coated with a light layer of lip balm, making her look even sweeter and more playful than before.

Seeing this, Song Zhi secretly wondered: Could it be that this little girl is going out on a date?

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she asked in a teasing tone, "Yinuo, who called you just now?"

Wei Yinuo answered subconsciously, "It was...it was Zhou Yan who called."

As soon as she spoke, she realized she had spoken too quickly and too directly, and hurriedly tried to cover it up, but it was too late.

A sly glint flashed in Song Zhi's eyes as she pressed, "Oh? It's Zhou Yan. What did he want to call you about?"

Wei Yinuo instantly became a little nervous. Her brain was working at lightning speed, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse to get out of it.

Just then, a thought flashed through her mind, and she said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. He just wanted to thank me for helping him last time, so he invited me to dinner."

However, Song Zhi clearly didn't believe her easily and continued to tease her, "Oh ho, so are you going on a date with him now?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, protesting with a flushed face.

"Oh dear, Auntie, don't talk nonsense! I... I didn't go on a date with him!"

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, Wei Yinuo began to stutter while speaking, appearing somewhat at a loss.

Song Zhi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile, but she didn't say anything.

After a moment, she said with a soft laugh, "Go on, he's probably already waiting for you downstairs."

Wei Yinuo nodded slightly, a hint of reluctance on her face, and mumbled an explanation: "Actually, I really don't want to go, but he keeps insisting on inviting me, and I've already refused so many times!"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi couldn't help but laugh and jokingly replied, "I didn't expect Zhou Yan to be so persistent."

Wei Yinuo frowned, her face full of disdain, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, I think he's just bored all day and has nothing to do."

Song Zhi shook her head helplessly, patted Wei Yinuo's shoulder lightly, and urged, "Alright, alright, since you promised, let's hurry up and go, so as not to keep them waiting too long."

At this moment, Wei Yinuo seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly asked, "By the way, why hasn't my uncle arrived yet?"

Song Zhi smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, he just messaged me saying he'll be here soon, he should be here in a little while."

Relieved by the reply, Wei Yinuo nodded and waved to Song Zhi with a grin, saying, "Okay, I'll go downstairs now. Goodbye, Auntie."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

As the door closed, the room fell silent, leaving Song Zhi sitting there quietly alone.

She felt rather bored and didn't know what to do to pass the time.

My gaze fell on the flowers on the balcony.

She slowly stood up and walked towards the balcony.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Stepping onto the balcony, Song Zhi looked down at the flowers placed to the side.

This was specially delivered to her by Fu Lu today.

She carefully untied the bouquet and gently trimmed the excess leaves.

Carefully insert each flower into the exquisite vase.

Just then, a slight noise suddenly came.

The door to the ward was gently pushed open from the outside.

Song Zhi was overjoyed, thinking that Fu Lu had arrived.

My eyes lit up immediately.

She turned around with joy, about to call out, "Ninth Brother, you..."

However, upon seeing who it was, the words that were left unsaid seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand, stuck in their throats.

Pei Jinnian stood expressionless at the door, his eyes coldly fixed on the flowers she was fiddling with.

The smile that had just appeared on Song Zhi's face vanished as quickly as the tide, replaced by coldness and disgust.

"Pei Jinnian, what are you doing here?"

Song Zhi questioned him bluntly, her voice filled with obvious dislike.

Pei Jin glanced disdainfully at the flowers in her hand, then said slowly:

"I heard you were sick, so I came to see you."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi couldn't help but sneer and coldly replied, "No need. You should leave now. You're not welcome here!"

After saying that, she turned her head away and stopped looking at him, continuing to focus on her flower arranging.

Pei Jinnian, however, seemed to have no intention of leaving. Instead, he let out a cold laugh and approached Song Zhi step by step.

He looked down at her and said something sarcastic.

"What? Are you so afraid of your lover seeing us together?"

Song Zhi's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She bit her lip, trying to suppress her anger.

With a hint of impatience, he asked, "What exactly are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to come and see you."

As he spoke, his gaze fell directly on Song Zhi's face without any attempt to conceal it.

Although the handprint from the slap on her face was not as obvious as it had been initially, it was still faintly visible.

Upon noticing this, Pei Jinnian's originally gentle eyes instantly turned cold, as if a layer of frost had formed.

He stared intently at the still-fading handprint, and asked in a low, cold voice, "Who did this?"

Song Zhi acted as if she hadn't heard him, quickly shifting her gaze away to avoid Pei Jinnian's sharp stare.

"What's it to you? Just get out of here and don't ever come looking for me again!"

As soon as he entered the door, the thing Song Zhi said to him most was to leave.

Pei Jinnian was somewhat annoyed: "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

"No."

Song Zhi was somewhat irritated.

Fu Lu is coming soon.
