Affection System: I have everything the goddess wants.

As soon as the bell rang, Cao Xu made up an excuse that "my roommate needed to see me urgently" and left with Zhou Lei and the others, completely ignoring Xu Niannian beside him.

Xu Niannian watched his hurried departure, feeling somewhat depressed. She had originally planned to have lunch together, but he left at the last minute, leaving her feeling a little disappointed.

Cao Xu hurried to the school gate and saw Shen Huimin from afar.

She still had thick, straight bangs and wore large black-rimmed glasses that almost covered most of her face. She was wearing a faded long-sleeved T-shirt and straight-leg jeans. Her hands were placed in front of her, her head was slightly lowered, and she looked rather thin. She exuded a timid and reserved aura, just like at yesterday's dinner party. Her presence was so low that she was almost ignored.

Cao Xu walked quickly to the parking lot outside the school, opened the door of the G63, got in, and then drove up to Shen Huimin and called out, "Shen Huimin, get in the car."

Shen Huimin paused for a moment, glanced up at him, then quickly lowered her head, carefully opened the back door, and gently sat down, her hands still neatly placed on her lap, her posture restrained.

As soon as she sat down, she realized Xu Niannian wasn't in the car, and a sense of doubt arose in her heart. Looking at Cao Xu, who was driving, she asked in a low voice, "Isn't Niannian with you? What exactly is this part-time job you mentioned? Where are we going now?"

Cao Xu glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said casually, "Don't ask any questions. Just follow me. Do you think I'd sell you out?"

Shen Huimin didn't press the matter further, but kept her head down, sitting quietly in the back seat, her heart filled with trepidation and unease.

Not long after, Cao Xu drove to the entrance of Gaoke Rongjing residential area. The car slowly drove into the community and stopped at the entrance of the property management center.

He led Shen Huimin into the property management center, where staff immediately greeted them respectfully: "Sir, are you here to view the property?"

Cao Xu handed his ID card to the staff member and said, "I bought a house and I'm here to complete the registration procedures."

After quickly verifying the information, the staff skillfully processed the registration procedures and entered the license plate information while smiling and explaining, "Mr. Cao, the property certificate for your house has been fully processed. Here is the smart lock management password. You can change the password and enter your fingerprint and facial recognition. In addition, you also have the community access card, which can be used to enter and exit the community and your building."

The whole process took only a few minutes. The staff handed over the property certificate, the house key, and two access cards with both hands, their attitude respectful and attentive. After all, they knew the owner would be a valued homeowner from now on, so they naturally dared not neglect them.

Cao Xu took the property certificate and keys, led Shen Huimin into the apartment building, swiped the access card, and pressed the elevator button, all with composure.

Shen Huimin grew increasingly uneasy. As she watched Cao Xu collect the property certificate and keys, she asked him several times in a low voice, "Where are we going?" Cao Xu replied, "You'll find out soon."

The elevator doors opened, and the two stepped inside. The elevator was spacious, with spotless mirrored walls.

Upon arriving on the 23rd floor, Cao Xu first changed the room password, registered his fingerprint and face, and the moment he pushed open the door, bright light burst out.

He led Shen Huimin slowly into the house, introducing it as they walked: "Let's take a look around. This is my new house. You saw it earlier. This is my first time here too."

Gaoke Rongjing Community is located in the core area of ​​Zidong next to Xianlin Lake, only 1.2 kilometers away from the Xianlin Campus of Jinling University of Finance and Economics, which is only a 15-minute walk away.

The house rewarded by the system has a building area of ​​280 square meters, one unit per floor, four bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms, good ventilation from north to south, a 270-degree panoramic balcony, and is delivered fully furnished in a modern light luxury style. The living room is paved with marble floor tiles and the bedrooms are equipped with solid wood flooring.

The living room connects to an extra-large viewing balcony, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Xianlin Lake.

Shen Huimin looked around the house with curiosity. The living room was spacious and bright, and the north-south ventilation design allowed a gentle breeze to blow through, bringing a refreshing feeling.

The extra-large viewing balcony overlooks the shimmering Xianlin Lake, offering an excellent view.

The kitchen is open-plan and fully equipped with cabinets, a range hood, a gas stove, and other kitchen appliances.

The four bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the wardrobes and bedding are all delivered fully furnished, simple yet elegant;

The house was clean and tidy, exuding a high-end and sophisticated feel, a living environment she had never experienced before.

After looking around, Shen Huimin lowered her head silently, clasping her hands together, appearing even more reserved.

Looking at her, Cao Xu softened his tone and got straight to the point: "I've heard Niannian talk about your situation before. I know you've been working part-time to support yourself, which has been quite tough for you."

I just bought this house and only stay here occasionally. I'd like to ask you to use your spare time to help me clean it.

"You can come two or three times a week, and I'll give you 3000 yuan a month. Occasionally, if I need anything, you can cook me a meal, but not often. I'll cover the groceries. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Huimin abruptly raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise, then a hint of hesitation appeared, and she asked softly, "You brought me out today, Niannian doesn't know, right?"

Cao Xu shook his head, his tone sincere: "My hiring you has nothing to do with Niannian. I have no other intentions. I just think you are very brave and kind, and I want to provide you with some help within my capacity so that you don't have to work so hard."

Shen Huimin bit her lower lip, her tone firm yet tinged with guilt: "I'm sorry, Niannian has always been good to me. I can't keep her away from her and have private contact with her boyfriend. That would be too unfair to her."

Cao Xu knew that winning her over would be difficult, so he could only create more opportunities to get to know her and slowly figure out a way. If he didn't have a suitable reason, he wouldn't see her more than twice a semester, let alone increase her favorability.

So he slowly said, "I believe you on this point. You are a girl with very positive values, and so am I."

Niannian didn't know about this house. She had previously considered living with me, but I felt that things were progressing too fast between us, especially after I became rich. I could clearly feel that Niannian's attitude towards me had changed a lot.

You're her roommate, and you've spent more time with her than I have. I'm sure you know that she's a bit materialistic and vain.

After a pause, he added, "I don't actually mind this. Everyone has their own pursuits. But I need to reflect on whether our relationship is truly love."

I still yearn for love. In my heart, love is sacred and cannot be sustained by money alone.

So hiring you to work here really has nothing to do with her, and you won't do her any harm.

Besides, I haven't even seen your face clearly yet, and you're dressed so plainly. You wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think I want to do something to you, would you?
