Can anyone tell me why she has to make such a big fuss when she gets home?!

This was even more extravagant than the lavish banquets she had seen on television before.

She instinctively straightened her back, trying not to show any awkwardness, and walked steadily towards the villa.

Jiang Kun quickly followed, considerately opening the heavy, carved wooden door for her, stepping aside to lead the way, while turning to instruct the servants behind him:

"Miss, you must be tired from your long journey. Quickly bring out the prepared meal. Remember, keep it light and avoid spicy food."

"Yes, butler." A servant immediately responded and turned to walk quickly toward the kitchen.

Jiang Wenxi followed Jiang Kun into the villa, her gaze unconsciously sweeping across the living room.

The high ceilings, the dazzling crystal chandeliers, the priceless oil paintings, the soft velvet sofas... every detail exudes ultimate luxury, yet it doesn't feel ostentatious.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.

Chapter N: My Own Harbor

Jiang Wenxi wasn't surprised by the thoughtful arrangements and walked straight towards the restaurant.

Having traveled all the way from the airport, and with the mental strain of time travel, her stomach was already growling with hunger.

The restaurant is in a typical European style, with a long solid wood dining table covered with a creamy white lace tablecloth, and a bouquet of fresh champagne roses in the center, the rich fragrance of which lingers in the air.

As soon as she sat down in the main seat, three maids in clean uniforms filed in carrying trays and gently placed the dishes on the table.

Three dishes and a soup, light and refreshing. A plate of steamed sea bass, tender and white; a dish of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, vibrant green and tempting; a bowl of smooth steamed egg custard; and finally, a pot of warm yam and pork rib congee.

The dishes were all light and easy on the stomach, clearly taken into consideration that she had just gotten off the plane and her stomach had not yet adjusted, so they deliberately avoided greasy and spicy food.

Jiang Wenxi picked up the silver spoon, scooped up a mouthful of porridge, and put it in her mouth. The warm porridge slid down her throat, instantly soothing her empty stomach, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to dissipate somewhat.

Seeing that she had started eating, Jiang Kun nodded slightly to the servants behind him.

Everyone immediately bowed and quietly withdrew, leaving the large restaurant instantly quiet except for a nimble maid who stood in the corner with her hands at her sides, ready to give instructions at any time.

The meal was comfortable and enjoyable.

After the meal, Jiang Wenxi slowly got up and began to look around the villa that belonged to her.

The villa has four floors, each with a clearly defined function.

The first floor features a living room, dining room, kitchen, and reception room, primarily for social purposes; the second floor houses guest rooms, a study, and an entertainment room, suitable for both leisure and work; the third floor is her private domain, and the fourth floor also includes a rooftop garden and an outdoor swimming pool.

Following Jiang Kun all the way to the third floor, Jiang Wenxi couldn't help but pause for a moment when she pushed open the door to the master bedroom.

The master bedroom is ridiculously large, with its own bathroom and a balcony with a view. Sunlight streams in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

What impressed her most was the walk-in closet connected to the master bedroom—it occupied half of the third floor, with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes on both sides and a row of exquisite jewelry cabinets and shoe racks in the middle. The space was so spacious that it could accommodate dozens of people.

However, at this moment, in the huge walk-in closet, there were only a few well-tailored clothes hanging on the wall, and only a few pairs of comfortable flat shoes on the shoe rack, which were obviously rushed back by the housekeeping team for emergency use.

Jiang Wenxi looked at the empty wardrobe and couldn't help but smile.

It seems this walk-in closet will have plenty of opportunities to be filled up in the future.

After a long day of running around, she was exhausted. After a quick wash, she picked out a soft silk nightgown from the walk-in closet, put it on, and collapsed onto the large bed covered with velvet sheets.

The mattress had just the right firmness, and the blankets still carried a faint scent of sunshine. Jiang Wenxi fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow, and even her dreams were peaceful.

As the sun gradually set outside the window, its orange-red afterglow filled the entire room, enveloping her peaceful sleeping face in a warm halo.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky outside the window had completely darkened, and the last trace of orange-red afterglow was swallowed by the thick night. The streetlights in the villa courtyard lit up one after another, casting warm yellow halos.

Jiang Wenxi sat up, rubbing her temples. The hangover-like fatigue had mostly subsided. The silk pajamas she wore carried a faint jasmine scent, an unfamiliar yet incredibly comforting aroma.

She walked barefoot on the thick cashmere carpet, the soft touch feeling like walking on clouds, slowly strolling along the third-floor corridor.

Her fingertips traced the two-meter-wide carved door of the walk-in closet, and with a gentle push, the hinges made a very soft sound. A warm yellow motion-sensor light immediately illuminated the large space.

The floor-to-ceiling wardrobe was polished to a shine, reflecting her image. The empty clothes racks gleamed coldly under the light, with only a few emergency clothes hanging in the corner, swaying forlornly.

Jiang Wenxi looked at the empty walk-in closet and couldn't help but smile.

This place definitely needs some things added quickly.

She slowly walked downstairs, and the faint aroma of food wafted from the direction of the restaurant on the first floor.

The servants had prepared dinner in advance. It was still a light and palatable meal, but it was more refined than lunch, clearly because they had figured out her tastes.

As soon as he sat down at the table, Jiang Kun strode over and stood respectfully to the side with his hands at his sides.

"Miss, you're awake. Dinner is ready. Would you like to eat now, or wait a little while? Also, would you like to go for a walk later, or just stay home and rest?"

Jiang Wenxi picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of stir-fried asparagus, and felt the tender texture spread across her tongue. She thought for a moment, then shook her head.

Having just arrived in this world, although her identity had been taken care of by the system, she was still unfamiliar with everything here. Going out rashly might cause her some trouble.

It would be better to stay home first and figure out the system's functions and rewards; that's the important thing to do.

"I won't go out later," she said calmly, putting down her chopsticks. "I'm going to the projection room; I have something to take care of."

She paused, then remembered the empty walk-in closet, and added:

"By the way, Uncle Jiang, please contact a few top haute couture and jewelry brands for me. Have them bring their latest designs and customization plans to my house tomorrow morning. Remember, get the best, don't skimp on the price."

The few lonely clothes in my closet are really unworthy of the status of the owner of Tan Palace No. 1 Villa. I need to find them some "companions" as soon as possible.

A knowing glint flashed in Jiang Kun's eyes, and he quickly bowed in agreement:

"Yes, Miss, I'll arrange it right away. I have contact information for several top brands in Shanghai, and I'll make sure they bring their latest styles tomorrow on time, so as not to delay your schedule."
