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

Fu Lu shook his head slightly, but a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips as he said softly, "Not yet, we're still pursuing it."

After saying this, he ignored his assistant's surprised look and strode out of the office.

Fu Lu arrived at the company building and stood quietly by the roadside waiting.

Time passed slowly, and after about ten minutes, a small and cute Beetle car slowly drove up.

This car was Song Zhi's vehicle, and Fu Lu recognized it at a glance.

Song Zhi skillfully parked the car in front of Fu Lu, then gently rolled down the window and smiled at him, saying, "Ninth Brother, get in the car."

Fu Lu smiled, opened the car door, and got into the passenger seat.

This was his first time sitting in the passenger seat of a girl's car, and it felt a little different.

The interior space was rather cramped, and for Fu Lu, who was tall and had long legs, it was indeed a bit uncomfortable to sit there.

However, he did not show any discomfort; instead, he looked around the interior of the car with great interest.

Song Zhi looked at his long legs, which seemed to have nowhere to go, with a slightly embarrassed expression, and said with a blush, "I'm sorry, the space in my car is a bit small. I'm sorry to have made you feel uncomfortable."

Fu Lu quickly waved his hand, fastened his seatbelt, and replied with a smile, "It's okay, it's fine. I think this car suits you very well."

Song Zhi chuckled, revealing an innocent expression: "I really like it! It's a gift from my dad for my eighteenth birthday!"

The two chatted casually like that.

Time flies, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the restaurant.

Song Zhi skillfully parked the car in the parking space and then quietly waited for Fu Lu to get out.

Fu Lu pushed open the car door and got out.

He looked up at the entrance of Yuxiang Pavilion, then turned to Song Zhi in the car and said, "Let's eat here today."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "Ah, didn't you say we could choose any restaurant around here..."

Fu Lu smiled slightly and explained, "Someone is treating, so we don't need to pay. Don't worry."

After saying that, he stepped inside.

Seeing this, Song Zhi had no choice but to quickly follow.

Just as Fu Lu stepped into the lobby, his phone suddenly rang urgently.

He stopped, took out his phone to check the caller ID, then turned to Song Zhi and said, "Go press the elevator button first, I'll take this call."

Song Zhi nodded in understanding: "Okay, sure."

Then, she walked quickly toward the elevator.

However, to her utter surprise, while waiting for the elevator, she encountered Pei Jinnian and Meng Huan walking out of the elevator on the other side.

Pei Jinnian spotted Song Zhi standing there at a glance, and a smug smile immediately appeared on his face. His tone was full of sarcasm: "What? Weren't you so proud? Now you're actually following me?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's lips twitched involuntarily.

Pei Jinnian's arrogant and conceited nature hasn't changed at all!

Song Zhi replied indifferently, "I wasn't following you."

Pei Jinnian's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he snorted disdainfully: "You've already followed us all the way here, and you still dare to say you weren't being followed?"

Song Zhi explained expressionlessly, "I just happened to be here for a meal."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinnian reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and scoffed, "Eat here? Do you even have the money?"

Hearing his arrogant and contemptuous words, Song Zhi felt a surge of annoyance and couldn't be bothered to pay him any more attention.

Pei Jinnian's face darkened instantly when he saw that Song Zhi was ignoring him.

Just as he was about to speak, Meng Huan interrupted in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Brother, maybe this senior is here to eat with her boyfriend. Don't underestimate her."

Song Zhi couldn't stand her pretentious, manipulative attitude, so she retorted bluntly, "Yeah, I'm just here to have dinner with my boyfriend. What's wrong with that?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Fu Lu's deep voice came from behind him: "Is the elevator here?"

Song Zhi's body stiffened abruptly, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.

Did he hear what he just said?

How embarrassing.

Song Zhi slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Fu Lu.

She opened her mouth to explain, but Fu Lu put his arm around her shoulder and said with a doting look, "Zhizhi, what are you daydreaming about?"

Song Zhi was a little embarrassed: "No."

The moment Pei Jinnian saw Fu Lu, the smile on his face froze instantly, and he couldn't keep his composure.

"Ninth Brother, you, you and her..."

Pei Jinnian tried to speak, but before he could finish, Fu Lu interrupted him, "You brought my girlfriend here for dinner, what can I do for you, Young Master Pei?"

Pei Jinnian's face immediately turned a deep purplish-red, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although he usually behaves in a rather unruly manner, he doesn't dare to act recklessly in front of Fu Lu.

Before Song Zhi could speak, the elevator doors opened, and Fu Lu put his arm around Song Zhi and walked into the elevator.

In front of Fu Lu, Pei Jinnian did not dare to stop them. He just stared straight at them until the elevator doors slowly closed, without looking away.

Meng Huan called his name softly a few times, but when Pei Jinnian did not respond, a wicked glint flashed in her eyes.

That bitch Song Zhi actually hooked up with Fu Lu, and she still has the nerve to hang around in front of her own brother trying to get attention. She's shameless!

Meng Huan reached out and tugged at Pei Jinnian's sleeve, asking cautiously, "Brother, do you still like Senior Sister?"

Pei Jinnian was puzzled after hearing this.

He himself did not know the answer to this question.

Does he really like Song Zhi?

He didn't know that, by then, the only thing he was clear about was that he couldn't accept Song Zhi being with other men.

He thought he would go crazy just thinking about Song Zhi belonging to someone else in the future.

At that moment, Pei Jinnian suddenly felt a pang of regret.

She regretted severing ties with Meng Huan and Song Zhi.

I regret saying those hurtful things.

Does he still have a chance to win her back?

Seeing that he was silent again, Meng Huan felt a little unwilling and continued, "Song Zhi is really something. She already has a boyfriend, and she still calls you. Does she want to have her cake and eat it too?"

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Jinnian suddenly stared intently at her and demanded sternly, "When did Song Zhi call me?"

Seeing Pei Jinnian's agitated reaction, Meng Huan realized she had said the wrong thing and shouldn't have brought it up.

So she feigned innocence and said, "No...no, I was just making things up."

Seeing Meng Huan's evasive words, Pei Jinnian knew that she was definitely hiding something.

Pei Jinnian then said in a sinister tone, "Huanhuan, don't lie to me. I don't like girls who lie."

Upon hearing this, Meng Huan's face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled slightly, and a look of fear and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, threatening to spill over at any moment.

She tried hard to control her emotions, but her voice still trembled with tears: "Brother, please don't be so mean to me, I'm scared..."
