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

Wei Yinuo hurriedly looked away, as if Zhou Yan's gaze was burning with intense heat.

She tried hard to control her emotions and pretended not to see Zhou Yan.

When Song Zhi saw Zhou Yan, a look of surprise was clearly visible on her face.

"Why did you suddenly come here?" Song Zhi asked subconsciously.

Zhou Yan replied softly, "I just came to take a look around."

As soon as he finished speaking, as if he suddenly remembered something important, he turned to Song Zhi and said, "Oh right, Ninth Brother wants you to go to the company."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi was somewhat surprised and frowned slightly as she asked, "Go to his company to find him? Is there something important?"

Zhou Yan shook his head slightly: "Well... I'm not too sure either."

Song Zhi was filled with doubts and hadn't spoken yet when Wei Yinuo, who had been silent all along, suddenly shouted, "Auntie, don't go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yinuo regretted it.

She felt somewhat annoyed, realizing that her behavior had been a bit too extreme.

Song Zhi was taken aback at first, then smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Nuonuo, I won't leave. I'll call your uncle right now and ask what's going on."

As he spoke, he took out his phone to dial a number.

Zhou Yan, who had been standing to the side, reached out and stopped Song Zhi from making the call.

Song Zhi looked up with suspicion, only to meet Zhou Yan's deep and slightly cunning eyes.

Zhou Yan kept winking and making faces at her.

In an instant, Song Zhi suddenly realized.

Zhou Yan lied about Fu Lu asking him to go to the company just to get rid of her so he could be alone with Wei Yinuo.

After realizing what had happened, Song Zhi felt quite helpless and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"What will happen to Nuonuo if I leave?"

Zhou Yan said, "Go ahead, I'll stay here."

Song Zhi nodded and looked at Wei Yinuo: "Nuo Nuo, I'll go over there first and be back soon. Don't worry, Zhou Yan will stay here with you."

Wei Yinuo was speechless.

She just didn't want Zhou Yan to be with her.

But I can't say it.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Song Zhi left.

For a moment, the entire ward seemed to be shrouded in an invisible awkwardness, and the air seemed to become heavy.

Wei Yinuo placed her hands on her abdomen, stared blankly at the ceiling, her mind completely blank, unable to think of anything to say to Zhou Yan in front of her.

So she simply gave up and said nothing.

Zhou Yan slowly stepped forward and finally stopped beside the hospital bed.

His tall figure resembled a mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

He leaned down slightly, gazing down at Wei Yinuo on the hospital bed.

Wei Yinuo was able to maintain a semblance of calm, but when she felt Zhou Yan's direct gaze, a ripple stirred in her heart, and her body involuntarily twisted, making her appear extremely uncomfortable.

She gave an awkward smile and said, "Uncle Zhou, I'm so sorry, I'm fine now and can take care of myself. You're so busy with work, so please don't waste your time here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Yinuo suddenly felt the bed next to her sink.

Zhou Yan sat directly on her hospital bed!

Wei Yinuo was instantly at a loss, staring wide-eyed at the man so close to her, her heart pounding.

Especially when Zhou Yan remained silent, staring directly at her with his sharp eyes, Wei Yinuo felt as if countless gazes were piercing through her body, making it difficult to even breathe.

"Uncle Zhou Yan, um, I'm a little sleepy and I want to go to sleep. You can go back first."

Wei Yinuo stammered, not daring to meet Zhou Yan's gaze. Instead, she quickly closed her eyes, pursed her lips tightly, and pretended to be asleep.

For a moment, the ward fell silent. If it weren't for the sound of Zhou Yan's breathing, Wei Yinuo would have thought he had already passed away.

She panicked.

I wonder what this person is trying to do?

He sat on his hospital bed, not saying a word, just staring at himself.

What's so interesting about it?

If you don't know what to say to yourself, just leave.

She didn't know how to face Zhou Yan.

Just as Wei Yinuo was lost in thought, Zhou Yan's somewhat hoarse voice came through.

"Nono."

Wei Yinuo's eyelids twitched, but she didn't open her eyes or respond.

Zhou Yan knew she was pretending to be asleep, but he wasn't annoyed.

He just watched quietly, observing her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth.

"Nono."

Zhou Yan spoke again.

Wei Yinuo kept her eyes closed.

Zhou Yan continued, "Actually, that day, when we were at the doctor's, I saw you being tied up in the car by Wei Min."

As Zhou Yan spoke, Wei Yinuo, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"You...saw it?"

"I'm sorry, if I had gone in sooner, perhaps you..."

He didn't say the rest, but Wei Yinuo knew what he was going to say.

Wei Yinuo forced a smile, stared at the ceiling, and murmured, "Don't apologize to me anymore."

Since she woke up, almost everyone has been apologizing to her.

No one has wronged her; this is fate, and also her calamity.

There's no escaping it, no hiding from it.

"Okay, no more."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside, and the doctor and nurses came in to perform an examination on her.

Zhou Yan stood quietly to the side, waiting for the doctor to examine her.

After the examination, while the nurse was giving Wei Yinuo an IV drip, he followed the doctor out of the ward to inquire about Wei Yinuo's condition.

As Zhou Yan left, Wei Yinuo's tense body gradually relaxed.

After the nurse helped her hang up the IV bag, she checked her over and left the room.

Wei Yinuo lay on the hospital bed. Although her body was extremely exhausted and her consciousness was gradually fading, the intense fear deep in her heart kept her from closing her eyes and falling asleep.

She strained with all her might to keep her heavy eyelids open, staring intently at the white ceiling above her, trying not to fall asleep.

However, as time passed, Wei Yinuo's eyelids became increasingly unresponsive, as if a heavy burden was pressing down on them, and slowly closed up.

Shortly after she closed her eyes, a loud bang suddenly came from the previously quiet ward, where only her own breathing could be heard.

Bang.

The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside!

Wei Yinuo woke up instantly, staring wide-eyed at the doorway, where she saw the kidnappers and Fu Yao's ferocious figures approaching her step by step.

Their faces wore chilling smirks, smiles like those of demons from hell.

"Run, you bitch, you think you can get away?"

The kidnapper cursed filthy language as he roughly ripped open his dirty, tattered clothes, revealing his strong, muscular but malevolent chest, and walked step by step toward Wei Yinuo...
