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

Upon seeing Xiao Wan, he frowned slightly and asked, "Is this the friend from before?"

Song Zhi nodded and replied, "Yes, it's her."

Fu Lu frowned even more, and said with some displeasure, "Didn't you two have a falling out?"

Song Zhi looked at Fu Lu with some surprise: "How did you know?"

"I know everything about you."

Song Zhi sighed: "There were some conflicts before."

Fu Lu asked, "You forgave her?"

"I wouldn't say I've forgiven them. We're just friends now, the kind who can have meals together."

"Didn't we agree to buy a pre-wedding gift?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi quickly took Fu Lu's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Oh, Ninth Brother, let's go eat first, we can buy it next time."

Fu Lu sighed helplessly, thinking that the little guy probably didn't want to buy it at all.

But since she said so, we have no choice but to go along with her for now.

"Okay, let's go eat first."

Fu Lu nodded, then looked at Xiao Wan and said, "Let's go to Yuxiang Pavilion, the food there is pretty good."

Song Zhi said with some surprise, "But don't you need to make an appointment over there?"

Fu Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know their boss. No appointment is needed. Let's go."

As he spoke, he took Song Zhi's hand and walked towards Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan stood at the door, watching Fu Lu and Song Zhi walk over from afar, a smile appearing on her face.

It seems to be done.

Finally, I don't have to deal with this weirdo alone anymore.

In the restaurant's private room, Song Zhi sat quietly next to Fu Lu, while Xiao Wan and Han Chengyuan sat opposite them.

To break the awkward atmosphere, Xiao Wan spoke first: "Zhizhi, are you two planning to get married?"

A shy smile appeared on Song Zhi's face; she smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Fu Lu picked up the conversation and said, "Yes, we do have that plan, so we're here to choose some pre-wedding gifts first."

His voice was deep and gentle, revealing his doting affection for Song Zhi.

"Wow, that's great!" Xiao Wan exclaimed excitedly. "Your boyfriend really spoils you. I'm so envious!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Chengyuan, who was sitting next to Xiao Wan, suddenly interjected, "They're all just empty talk. Living a real life is what really matters."

Upon hearing Han Chengyuan's words, Song Zhi's heart tightened. She subconsciously looked at Fu Lu and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed.

Clearly, Fu Lu was somewhat dissatisfied with Han Chengyuan's words, and might even be angry.

Song Zhi quickly tried to ease the tension, saying, "Alright, everyone, let's stop talking and order some food, I'm starving!"

Upon hearing Song Zhi's words, Fu Lu nodded and then gently asked her, "What would you like to eat?"

Song Zhi quickly replied, "I'm fine with anything, just keep an eye on things."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Chengyuan, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly said, "That's why women are the hardest to understand. They ask us anything and then make us men guess."

Fu Lu's face turned cold. He closed the menu and looked at Han Chengyuan, "My wife ordered the food, do you have a problem with that?"

Han Chengyuan paused for a moment, then said dismissively, "I have no objection. I'm just reminding you that you should just say what you want in the future. It's too much trouble to keep guessing."

"I like to guess, what do you think?"

Han Chengyuan: "..."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became somewhat awkward.

Song Zhi was speechless.

What kind of constitution does Xiao Wan have, and what kind of people does she attract?

Xiao Wan quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "By the way, Zhizhi, what jewelry did you buy just now? A wedding ring?"

Song Zhi shook her head: "We didn't buy anything, we just went in."

"What are you planning to buy? I can use that as a reference when I get married?"

Song Zhi looked at Fu Lu.

Fu Lu said calmly, "Buy her a few gold bracelets and other jewelry. We can have them custom-made by a designer later."

Xiao Wan exclaimed, "This must have cost a lot of money!"

"As long as Zhizhi likes it."

Song Zhi said with a smile, "I like money, so just give me the money."

What was meant to be a joke to ease the awkward atmosphere turned into something else entirely, with Han Chengyuan responding to it.

"Brother, if you ask me, a man's money is for women to see, not for women to spend."

The previously lively atmosphere suddenly fell into dead silence.

Xiao Wan was internally screaming "Holy crap!"

Why did my own brother arrange such a weirdo for a blind date?

He also made a fool of himself in front of Fu Lu in various ways.

Fu Lu had a smile on his face, but it disappeared as Han Chengyuan spoke.

Seeing this, Xiao Wan quickly said, "It's only natural for him to spend money on his girlfriend."

Han Chengyuan smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'it's only natural'? Men don't owe women anything. What I hate most is when we go on dates and the man always pays? Why should he?"

Song Zhi rolled her eyes, speechless, as she listened to the other person's words.

"My husband is willing to spend money, it's not your money, why are you so agitated? What? Are you very possessive of my husband's money?"

"So you're saying all women these days are gold diggers? If I remember correctly, you two aren't even married yet, you're just boyfriend and girlfriend, and you're already eyeing her. You're the one who's possessive of her money."

"Oh, I've been thinking about that. He's rich and naive, and he's happy to spend money on me. So what?"

Han Chengyuan shook his head with a smile, then said to Xiao Wan, "Wanwan, girls should learn to respect themselves. Don't be like your college classmate, a gold digger who only cares about money."

Song Zhi cursed inwardly, "What is all this nonsense?!"

It's just a meal, why is she being labeled a gold digger for no reason?

She opened her mouth, about to explain, when she suddenly felt a strong chill emanating from Fu Lu beside her.

Fu Lu, his face grim, slammed his teacup down on the table with a loud "crack" without saying a word.

The tea in the teacup splashed everywhere, wetting the table.

Xiao Wan was startled by this sudden scene. She quickly stood up and explained to Song Zhi with a face full of embarrassment, "Zhizhi, don't, don't be angry, I..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Han Chengyuan interrupted her, saying nonchalantly, "Oh, it was just a joke, why are you being so petty, bro?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu's face grew even more gloomy, and he stared at Han Chengyuan expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Song Zhi said softly, "Alright, Ninth Brother, don't be angry."

Fu Lu turned his head and looked at Song Zhi, only to see a helpless smile on her face, which calmed his anger slightly.

He whispered in Song Zhi's ear, his face full of disgust, "What kind of taste does your friend have? Going on a blind date with this kind of trash!"

Song Zhi quickly reassured her, "Don't be angry, we'll leave after we finish eating."

"How can you still eat after all this?"

Song Zhi smiled and advised, "Since we're already here, wouldn't it be a waste not to eat? Besides, the food will be served soon."

Fu Lu was a little annoyed, but since Song Zhi had said so, she didn't want her beautiful night to be ruined by someone else.

He whispered in Song Zhi's ear, "After you finish eating, go buy a gold bracelet."
