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

Song Zhi chimed in, "That Wei Min is really bold, daring to bring his little lover to our hospital for a prenatal checkup."

Even more outrageous, his mistress, for some reason, actually posted about it on her WeChat Moments—wasn't that just walking right into a trap?!

Fu Lu nodded: "I know."

Song Zhi was somewhat surprised.

"How did you know? Did Yinuo tell you?"

Fu Lu shook his head and began to explain.

“After you told me he might be cheating on me, you started investigating him, including his mistress.”

Song Zhi sighed: "Ninth Brother, is it because you're getting older that you all want to have a son?"

"Why do you ask that suddenly?"

"Isn't Wei Min a perfect example? He had a perfectly good life but had to cheat on his wife and find a mistress. In the end, it was Nuonuo who got hurt."

"Don't worry, she won't be affected."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi couldn't help but purse her lips and ask with a puzzled look.

Why are you so sure she won't get hurt?

Faced with Song Zhi's questioning, Fu Lu smiled slightly and said softly, "Would you like to hear about my sister's life when she was young?"

Song Zhi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Fu Lu with some surprise, seemingly not expecting him to suddenly bring up his family's private affairs.

After a moment of silence, she asked softly, "Can I really hear this?"

Fu Lu nodded, still with a faint smile on his face, and replied, "Of course."

Then, Fu Lu slowly began to tell the story of Fu Ya.

It turns out that when Fu Ya was young, the old man in her family took it upon himself to arrange a marriage between her and the young master of the Si family.

However, the stubborn Fu Ya was unwilling to accept such an arranged marriage, so on the eve of her engagement, she resolutely chose to run away.

When the old man learned of this, he was furious and, in a fit of rage, cut off all of Fu Ya's bank cards.

At that time, Fu Ya, who was penniless and had nowhere to go, could only solve her accommodation problem by finding roommates online.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi chimed in, "What if your roommate is a guy, and you developed feelings for him?"

Fu Lu looked up at her: "Do you still want to hear it?"

Song Zhi immediately nodded: "I'll think about it."

"Then be quiet."

"Ow."

After learning that the other party was a male roommate, Fu Ya planned to refuse, but she didn't have much money on her, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

The two lived under the same roof, and over time, feelings did develop between them.

Not long after, Fu Ya became pregnant.

Fu Ya was only 20 years old that year.

After becoming pregnant, she wanted to marry him for the sake of the child.

The two also planned to get married.

Later, by a twist of fate, she learned that her boyfriend was the young master of the Si family, with whom she had been engaged years ago.

Si Nian.

Si Nian was also unhappy with the marriage arranged by her family and ran away from the wedding.

After learning that Fu Ya was his arranged marriage partner, Si Nian felt that he had been tricked.

So, in a fit of anger, he ran away abroad.

When Fu Ya found out, she neither cried nor made a fuss.

She gave birth to the child, and to avoid gossip about the child, she found Wei Min, a poor student she was sponsoring, and married her.

“From the beginning, we agreed not to have children.” Fu Lu said calmly, “I never expected that over the years, Wei Min’s ambition would grow. He not only cheated on his wife and had a child, but also secretly transferred a lot of the company’s assets.”

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi roughly understood.

Wei Yinuo is not Wei Min's child.

It's that guy named Si Nian.

Song Zhi never expected that a woman as elegant, intellectual, and successful as Fu Ya would also encounter a scumbag.

Song Zhi said indignantly, "Ah, Wei Min is too bad, and that young master of the Si family is no good either."

"The greed of a 'phoenix man' is like a bottomless pit; he is never satisfied."

"Then, what about Si Nian? Haven't you been in contact with him all these years?"

Fu Lu shook his head: "I don't know what happened after that, I didn't ask."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi felt somewhat disappointed: "I thought we could reconcile."

"There's no such thing as a broken mirror being mended. Once a mirror is broken, it's cracked and can never be made whole again."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi lowered her head.

I thought of her and Fu Lu.

Their relationship can be considered reconciled.

"Ninth Brother, is there a rift between us?"

Fu Lu looked up at her, amusement in his eyes, and asked, "When did things break down between us?"

Song Zhi: “…”

She muttered under her breath: "Where is it not broken? You've been secretly abroad for many years now."

Fu Lu didn't say anything, but instead switched to massaging her foot.

Song Zhi leaned lazily against the hospital bed, her gaze falling on Fu Lu, and asked softly, "Ninth Brother, when do you think I can be discharged from the hospital?"

Fu Lu raised his eyes slightly and calmly replied, "I can be discharged next Monday."

Upon hearing this answer, Song Zhi couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Ah, we have to wait a full three days! These days are too unbearable!"

After saying that, she pouted slightly, her face full of annoyance.

Seeing this, Fu Lu asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you bored here?"

Song Zhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, replying, "Absolutely! It's incredibly boring!"

"Where's Nuonuo? Didn't she come to keep you company?"

Upon hearing the mention of Nuonuo, Song Zhi quickly explained, "Nuonuo has exams in a few months, and her studies are so demanding. She can't come here every day. Please don't let her come tomorrow, so as not to waste her precious study time."

"In that case, I'll arrange for a caregiver to come over for you tomorrow."

However, Song Zhi shook her head repeatedly and hurriedly refused, saying, "No need, no need, Ninth Brother. Actually, I only get IV drips every day in the hospital, and there's nothing else to do. Why don't I just not stay in the hospital and go home after the IV drip is finished?"

Fu Lu looked at her with concern and insisted, "No, I'm worried about you traveling back and forth every day like this."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi immediately sat up straight, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and pleaded in a coquettish manner.

"Oh, brother, I promise you, I'm really fine. If I stay in this ward for another day, I feel like I'll grow mushrooms."

As she spoke, she gestured with her fingers to make the shape of a small mushroom, looking quite adorable.

When Fu Lu saw Song Zhichao acting coquettishly towards her, his heart softened instantly.

Especially when she calls him "brother" in a sweet, cloying way, it's like pulling him into your arms and showering him with kisses.

Thinking of this, Fu Lu reached out and pulled her into his arms. To Song Zhi's astonishment, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Song Zhi stared wide-eyed at the man so close to her, and grumbled as she reached out to push him away.

Sensing the girl's resistance, Song Zhi released her: "Didn't you want to go back?"

Song Zhi's cheeks flushed, and she muttered softly, "We don't need to kiss when we get back."

"The reward for letting you go back."

Song Zhi lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, not daring to utter a sound.

Fu Lu chuckled softly and reached out to rub Song Zhi's head.

"Okay, I'll go ask the doctor first. If the doctor agrees, I'll take you home."
