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

Xu Ning clung tightly to Fu Ya's clothes, refusing to let go, and continued to plead: "Auntie, I'm telling you the truth. I really like Nuonuo, and my parents like Nuonuo just as much."

My dream is to marry Nuonuo and make her my wife, so please, you must allow me to pursue her.

As Xu Ning spoke, her eyes reddened, and she gazed at Fu Ya with a firm and unwavering look.

Fu Ya gazed quietly at the young man in front of her, who was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, she spoke softly again, "Xiao Ning, Nuonuo has been through what happened before, perhaps..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Ning interrupted him with her impatient words.

"Auntie, I don't care about any of that. All I love is Nuonuo as a person. No matter what she has been through, I will love and cherish her as always."

"You don't care?"

Fu Ya looked at him with disbelief, her voice trembling slightly as she asked.

Xu Ning responded calmly, "Why should I care? Nuonuo is the victim. The ones who should really die are those bad guys who bullied her!"

After saying that, he clenched his fists tightly, a hint of anger in his eyes.

Hearing this, Fu Ya was deeply moved, and tears welled up in her eyes. She tried her best to hold back the tears, but the redness in her eyes betrayed her excitement.

After a while, Fu Ya took a deep breath and slowly said, "I won't object to what's between you and Nuonuo. I respect Nuonuo's own choice. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Ning's initially uneasy heart instantly calmed down.

He nodded vigorously and said excitedly, "Thank you, Auntie. Don't worry, I will definitely treat Nuonuo well. I will also try my best to become a better person and give Nuonuo a happy future."

Seeing Xu Ning's sincere expression, Fu Ya couldn't help but smile slightly, a gentle curve appearing at the corner of her lips: "Alright, stop standing here talking, come with me upstairs to see Nuonuo."

With that, she turned and walked toward the elevator.

Xu Ning hurriedly agreed and followed Fu Ya into the elevator with great excitement.

As the two stepped out of the elevator, they saw Si Nian and Zhou Yan sitting in the corridor.

Fu Ya quickly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you all outside?"

Zhou Yan opened his lips, but ultimately said nothing.

Si Nian, however, looked worried: "Ya Ya, Nuo Nuo's condition is not very good. I think it would be better to arrange for a psychologist to come and counsel her."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Si Nian explained, "Nono seems fine on the surface, but she's been keeping it all bottled up inside. This incident has hurt her deeply, and it'll probably leave her with serious aftereffects... Sigh..."

He sighed as he spoke.

"I'll go in and take a look."

After Fu Ya finished speaking, she walked to the door of the ward, reached out and pushed the door open to go inside.

When Wei Yinuo saw Fu Ya, she smiled and said, "Mom, what brings you here?"

Looking at Wei Yinuo's smile and recalling what Si Nian had just said, Fu Ya felt extremely distressed.

But she didn't show it. Instead, she smiled and walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and took Wei Yinuo's hand in hers.

"Nono, how are you feeling today?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Fu Ya reached out and gently brushed aside the stray hairs on Wei Yinuo's forehead.

“My Nuonuo has grown up and become sensible. That’s wonderful.”

After saying this, Fu Ya's eyes still involuntarily reddened.

Seeing this, Wei Yinuo said helplessly, "Mom, don't be like this. I'm really fine. Don't worry about me."

Fu Ya shook her head: "Mom wasn't worried about you. Mom meant it."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and continued, "The police said they were coming to take a statement, is tomorrow okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo was somewhat surprised by her mother's change.

"Tomorrow is fine."

"Then I'll arrange to come tomorrow morning."

Wei Yinuo nodded.

"Xiao Ning has come to keep you company."

Fu Ya spoke.

Wei Yinuo was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "He's here?"

"Yes, the child came over right after school; he's in the hallway."

Wei Yinuo sighed.

Seeing this, Fu Ya casually asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want him to come over?"

"I'm afraid it will affect him."

Fu Ya smiled and said, "It's no big deal. If I remember correctly, Xiao Ning's grades are much better than yours."

Wei Yinuo pouted: "He's always been someone else's child."

"When he was little, he volunteered to stay in the same grade as you so that he could be in the same class."

Wei Yinuo pouted: "We're not in the same class anymore."

"You can go to university together, Nuonuo. Would you like to go to the same university as Xiaoning?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yinuo was somewhat surprised: "Didn't you say it wasn't allowed before? How come it's allowed now?"

"Mom can do it if you're willing."

Wei Yinuo lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Fu Ya continued to ask, "What's wrong? Don't you want to?"

"Mom, let's talk about the future later."

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now."

Wei Yinuo remained silent and slowly reached out to gently hug Fu Ya.

Fu Ya was slightly taken aback by her daughter's affectionate behavior and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Wei Yinuo gently hugged her and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to hug you."

Fu Ya smiled and teased, "Oh, you silly child, why are you being so affectionate with your mother today?"

Wei Yinuo nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, Mom."

"Mom is here."

Wei Yinuo hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "That Uncle Si Nian, is he... my father?"

As soon as Wei Yinuo said those words, Fu Ya's body suddenly froze.

After a long while, she came to her senses, bit her lip, and slowly said, "He told you? That old bastard, I warned him a long time ago not to talk nonsense."

Fu Ya's tone was clearly annoyed and dissatisfied.

Noticing her mother's change in mood, Wei Yinuo quickly explained, "No, Mom, he didn't tell me directly. I overheard you talking on the phone earlier, and that's what you said."

Fu Ya understood immediately.

It was in the morning that Wei Yinuo overheard it.

Fu Ya gently pushed the person away, somewhat at a loss: "Nono, Mom didn't mean to hide it from you, don't be angry."

Wei Yinuo smiled and said, "No, I'm not angry. I feel quite fortunate."

"What's there to be thankful for?"

"Your Uncle Si Nian will take care of you from now on."

"Are you pushing me to that old man? Are you not planning to take care of Mom anymore? Aren't you going to support me in my old age?"

Wei Yinuo smiled helplessly.

"No, I just feel at ease knowing he can take good care of you."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ya immediately sensed something was amiss.

But something felt off, and she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She had just opened her mouth to ask further questions when the ward door was pushed open from the outside...
