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

As Xu Ning finished speaking, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Wei Yinuo looked up.

Then Song Zhi was seen standing at the door; clearly, she had also heard Xu Ning's confession.

Song Zhi was a little embarrassed: "Um, did I come at the wrong time?"

Wei Yinuo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said with a smile, "How could that be? Come in quickly."

Song Zhi brought over dinner: "I'm here to bring you dinner. Your uncle is waiting for me in the car and hasn't come up yet."

Wei Yinuo was somewhat surprised: "Why isn't he coming up?"

Song Zhi shook her head: "I don't know."

As he spoke, he took out the lunchbox and placed it on the table next to him.

Seeing this, Xu Ning quickly got up and came over to help: "Auntie, let me help you."

Song Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and teased, "You've already crossed generations."

Xu Ning smiled awkwardly: "I'll go with Nuonuo, don't worry about my brother."

After saying that, Xu Ning leaned closer and whispered, "Auntie, please, can you give Nuonuo and me some space? Please..."

After saying that, he put his hands together in prayer.

"What about confessing your feelings?"

Song Zhi asked in a low voice.

Xu Ning nodded: "Mm."

"You're still in school, haven't you forgotten what I told you before?"

"I can't wait, I just want a legitimate status to take care of Nuonuo."

"You're afraid her mother will find out and give you a beating."

“I have already informed Aunt Fu, and she agreed.”

Song Zhi was somewhat surprised by Xu Ning's words.

I didn't expect Fu Ya to be so open-minded.

"alright."

After Song Zhi finished speaking, she looked at Wei Yinuo and said with an embarrassed expression, "Nuo Nuo, I may have to go now."

"Oh, you're leaving so soon after you arrived?"

Wei Yinuo was somewhat frustrated.

“Your uncle is waiting downstairs.” He then looked at Xu Ning and said, “Take good care of Nuonuo.”

Xu Ning smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling: "Alright, I promise I won't fail you."

Song Zhi smiled helplessly, gave a few words of advice, and then left the ward.

Fu Lu was genuinely surprised that Song Zhi came out so quickly. He looked at the girl fastening her seatbelt with some astonishment and asked in confusion, "You got off so soon?"

Song Zhi nodded: "Xiao Ning is up there with her right now."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Xu Ning?"

Song Zhi chuckled and asked mysteriously, "Ninth Brother, what did you just see?"

"What?"

"Oh dear, you didn't even guess before asking me."

Fu Lu smiled helplessly, "Then let me guess."

After saying that, he thought about it very seriously, but after several minutes, he still couldn't come up with an answer.

Song Zhi couldn't wait any longer and said directly, "I went up and bumped into Xu Ning and Nuonuo confessing their love. I'm so sorry, I disturbed the young couple."

"What? A confession?" Upon hearing this, Fu Lu involuntarily raised his voice, his displeasure and dissatisfaction instantly showing on his face.

"They're so young, and they're already dating? That's outrageous..."

Fu Lu seemed to have a lot more to say, but Song Zhi quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

"Alright, alright, Ninth Brother, calm down, don't get agitated."

Fu Lu yanked Song Zhi's hand away from his mouth, his expression still not very pleasant.

"How old are they? How can they be so immature?"

Faced with Fu Lu's questioning, Song Zhi waved her hand dismissively and comforted him.

"Oh, Ninth Brother, don't worry about it. They're both adults, okay? Besides, in my opinion, Xu Ning is a steady and reliable person, quite dependable."

"Even so, that won't work. Wouldn't that completely mess up the generational hierarchy?"

Fu Lu clearly did not buy this explanation, his brows furrowed tightly, his worries undiminished.

"Oh, we're just dating, not getting married yet, don't worry about it so much."

Fu Lu stared at Song Zhi with a serious expression and said solemnly, "A relationship that is not aimed at marriage is just playing around."

Hearing this, Song Zhi couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated. She thought to herself that if the argument continued like this, given Fu Lu's straightforward and fiery personality, he might just go up and yell at them.

So she quickly changed the subject, saying coquettishly, "Ninth Brother, let's go back quickly, I'm so hungry, I want to eat your braised pork ribs."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile. He then reached out his large, warm hand and gently rubbed Song Zhi's soft head, softly replying, "Okay, let's go to the supermarket to buy groceries."

The two arrived at the supermarket.

Fu Lu skillfully pushed a shopping cart and walked side by side with Song Zhi.

Looking at Fu Lu beside her, Song Zhi felt a strange and indescribable feeling welling up inside her.

She felt as if her heart was enveloped in a warm current, feeling cozy and warm.

This is the future she envisions.

Just then, Fu Lu suddenly reached out his right hand and grabbed Song Zhi's left hand, their fingers intertwining tightly.

Song Zhi was taken aback for a moment, her cheeks instantly flushing red. She asked shyly in a soft voice, "W-what are you doing? We're still shopping at the supermarket."

Fu Lu, however, disagreed, raising an eyebrow and asking in return, "What's wrong with holding hands while shopping at the supermarket?"

Faced with such a confident answer, Song Zhi was speechless and didn't know how to refute it.

Fu Lu suddenly spoke again, "Song Xiaozhi, let's get married."

Song Zhi froze, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Fu Lu, stammering, "You...you said...what did you say?"

Fu Lu slightly curved his lips, looked down at her, and said softly, "I was saying let's get married. Just now, when I drove in, I saw a gold shop next to the supermarket. How about we go pick out two big gold bracelets for you after we finish buying the groceries?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's lips twitched slightly, and she asked with a face full of suspicion, "Where...where did you learn all this?"

Fu Lu replied with a calm smile, "What's there to learn? You need to prepare five pieces of gold for a wedding, right? If you think two aren't enough, how about I buy you ten big gold bracelets?"

His voice was quite loud, and the people shopping in the supermarket around them all turned to look at them.

Song Zhi felt a sudden wave of embarrassment and quickly urged in a low voice, "Alright, alright, let's hurry up and go buy the groceries."

After saying that, she quickly broke free from Fu Lu's tight grip on her hand and strode towards the vegetable section.

A short while later, Song Zhi arrived at the seafood section and suggested in a sweet voice, "Ninth Brother, how about we have fish for dinner tonight?"

There was no response from behind.

Song Zhi turned around in confusion.

Fu Lu was not behind him.

Song Zhi was momentarily stunned, wondering to herself: Did he really just run out and buy me a gold bracelet?

This person is so unpredictable.

Song Zhi sighed, turned around and walked back to look for the person.

She hadn't gone far when she noticed Fu Lu standing quietly in front of a row of shelves, his eyes fixed intently on the items displayed there.

Seeing this, Song Zhi quickly walked to his side and asked, "Ninth Brother, what are you looking at?"
