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

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Because she had to go to work, Song Zhi got up early.

After she finished washing up, she went to the dining table and sat quietly waiting for Fu Lu to feed her.

Suddenly, the phone that was placed to the side rang.

Song Zhi glanced at the screen; it was a call from Wei Yinuo.

She glanced at the time with some confusion. It was only a little before eight o'clock. Why was Wei Yinuo calling so early?

Song Zhi swiped the screen and answered the call.

"Hey, Nono, what's wrong?"

Her voice was gentle and concerned.

On the other end of the phone, Wei Yinuo's voice sounded somewhat low: "Auntie, can you and my uncle come to the hospital to see me?"

Song Zhi was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked, "Today?"

"Um, can you come over now, today?"

Wei Yinuo's tone revealed a hint of urgency.

Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, after all, she still had to go to work, but after hearing what Wei Yinuo said, she really felt embarrassed to refuse.

"Yes, come over now, I want to see you right now."

"Okay, we'll be right there."

After saying that, she hung up the phone and let out a soft breath.

She opened the company's DingTalk group and found her supervisor's DingTalk profile picture.

I sent the message requesting to continue taking leave today.

After the message was successfully sent, she stared at the screen, watching the other party's status show that the message had been read, but there was still no reply.

Song Zhi felt a little disappointed and sighed silently.

I've already taken so much leave, and I was supposed to go to work today, but now I can't.

She knew in her heart that her supervisor would definitely have a problem with her taking leave so frequently.

It seems she's going to lose this job and will probably have to find another one.

Fu Lu came over with breakfast in his hands.

He placed one of the portions in front of Song Zhi and did not leave immediately.

Who called you?

Fu Lu looked at Song Zhi and asked casually.

Song Zhi raised her head and answered truthfully, "It was Nuonuo. She said we should go to the hospital now."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "What? Aren't you going to work?"

Song Zhi shook her head helplessly and explained, "I've already asked my supervisor for leave."

Did your supervisor approve it?

Song Zhi said with a wry smile, "What can I do if they disagree? At worst, I'll just find another job."

Fu Lu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said, "You can be my assistant then."

Song Zhi rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Stop it, I don't want to hear you say that again."

Seeing this, Fu Lu deliberately teased her, "What? Are you so reluctant to work with me?"

Song Zhi looked at Fu Lu with a helpless expression, muttering to herself, "Why is Ninth Brother acting like a child, so childish?"

Upon hearing Song Zhi's words, Fu Lu reached out and pinched Song Zhi's cheek, deliberately putting on a resentful expression as he complained, "Are you disliking me again?"

Seeing this, Song Zhi quickly reached out and grabbed Fu Lu's hand, then looked up at him with her face tilted upwards.

After a long while, she whispered, "Ninth Brother, you are so handsome."

Fu Lu was clearly taken aback by Song Zhi's sudden remark, and he was stunned.

Is this little girl trying to entice me again?

"Song Xiaozhi".

"Huh? What for?"

"Open your mouth."

Song Zhi obediently opened her mouth, looking at Fu Lu with a puzzled expression.

The next second, Fu Lu reached out and tightly gripped the back of Song Zhi's head, then kissed her without hesitation.

Song Zhi was completely unprepared for Fu Lu's sudden kiss. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she was stunned.

She stared blankly at Fu Lu, who was so close to her, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Looking at Song Zhi's adorable, bewildered expression, Fu Lu felt a wave of tenderness wash over him.

He slowly released Song Zhi, then gently stroked her slightly reddened lips with his thumb, and said softly, "Song Xiaozhi, stop seducing me."

Song Zhi's cheeks instantly flushed. She lowered her head shyly and muttered softly, "Who, who seduced you? Hurry up and eat, we still need to go to the hospital after we finish eating."

Fu Lu's smile deepened. He reached out and pinched Song Zhi's cheek before returning to his seat, satisfied.

Song Zhi looked at the cup of black coffee that was placed in front of him as always, and said with dissatisfaction, "Ninth Brother, can you please not drink black coffee?"

After taking a sip of his coffee, Fu Lu lazily asked, "What's it to me?"

"If you don't want me to take care of you, then I won't say anything anymore."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and began eating his breakfast.

Seeing this, Fu Lu quickly said, "No, please."

Song Zhi feigned anger and said, "Anyway, I can't control you anymore. I won't say anything more from now on. Do whatever you want."

"Honey, I was wrong!"

Fu Lu looked at Song Zhi with a wronged expression.

Song Zhi choked, thinking to herself: Why has this person suddenly become so abnormal?

She felt that Fu Lu seemed to have become a completely different person.

When they first met, Fu Lu wasn't exactly aloof, but he was at least someone who knew his boundaries and always spoke politely.

But now? He's always acting cute and charming, there's not a trace of the person he used to be.

The more Song Zhi thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. This must all be Fu Lu's disguise!

Once he succeeded, he began to let himself go and completely disregarded his image.

“Ninth Brother, if you had acted like this before, we definitely wouldn’t have had a future.”

Song Zhi couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu immediately became displeased: "What's wrong with me now?"

When Song Zhi was asked this question, she became hesitant and stammered. After thinking for a while, she couldn't come up with a good answer. In the end, she could only manage to say two words: "Never mind."

However, Fu Lu refused to give up. He pressed on, "That doesn't count. You have to explain to me clearly what my current situation is."

Song Zhi sighed helplessly and said, "You're not reserved at all now. You used to be aloof and handsome."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a low chuckle.

"Oh, so you like my aloof side?"

Song Zhi: “…”

Her lips had just parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, when suddenly her phone lit up, the screen flashing with a DingTalk message notification.

Song Zhi's attention was immediately drawn to it. She quickly swiped through the messages and saw Li Ming's message appear on the screen.

[Song Zhi, do you think this company is your home?]

These words were particularly jarring to Song Zhi, and she couldn't help but feel speechless.

Despite her dissatisfaction, she politely replied, "I really have something important to do today."

However, Li Ming's next message chilled Song Zhi's heart.

Why come to work if you have so much to do? Don't come tomorrow.

Upon seeing this message, Song Zhi realized that she might need to find a new job.

Song Zhi sighed softly.

Sitting beside her, Fu Lu noticed her change in mood and heard her sighing. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
