The housekeeper was very sensible.

"Miss Jiang, rest assured, it just made Mr. Gu and Miss Bai understand some principles."

The butler tactfully took the tablet, but inwardly glanced at her a few more times.

Before leaving, Mr. Shen gave instructions regarding dinner, the dressing room, grooming supplies, and cat food.

Even this photo was specifically instructed to be shown only to Ms. Jiang herself.

Given Mr. Shen's usual temperament, he has never had this kind of patience.

Miss Jiang looks soft, as if she would be wronged if touched.

But when she smiled just now, her charm was undeniable.

No wonder Mr. Shen cares about people so much.

Jiang Li sat down on the living room sofa with the cat in her arms, gently wiggling her toes.

This logic is quite flawed.

Honey, be kind.

I've already been very kind; I didn't even go to the scene myself.

The black and white cat looked up at her.

When the two met eyes, Jiang Li almost lost her composure again.

After she had finished laughing, she remembered her business.

[Tongzi, isn't Bai Yuan the female lead in the original novel?]

She must have the protagonist's halo, right?

How come Shen Yan is completely unaffected?

The black and white cat perched on her lap and licked its paws.

The halo primarily affects important characters in the original storyline, especially the original male protagonist group.

You are an outsider, not drawn into her storyline.

Jiang Li listened attentively.

Even someone with such high willpower and power level as Shen Yan is difficult to be swayed by a halo.

He was originally just a minor character in the original work, appearing only briefly in the story. Crucially, the original novel portrays him as the unattainable "white moonlight" of the female lead, solely to advance the subsequent plot.

The goal is to make the male leads feel inferior, so that all three will fall in love with the female lead, achieving a harem ending.

So Bai Yuan's approach didn't work on him?

[At present, it seems useless.]

The system paused for a moment, then added another sentence.

Moreover, even if her three original male leads were combined, their power might not be enough to suppress Shen Yan.

Jiang Li felt better.

No wonder Bai Yuan was beaten up like that today.

In the original novel, Bai Yuan relied on her pitiful appearance to win over all the male leads, but when she came to Shen Yan, she couldn't even finish her opening lines.

Her current assessment of Shen Yan is somewhat complicated.

The danger is real, and so is the protection of their own.

Although he was far away on a business trip, he still managed to collect the money Gu Ze owed and even overturned Bai Yuan's tea bowl.

This kind of execution ability is something she could only dream of having in her past life—a client in the workplace.

Unfortunately, the client himself was too oppressive.

It makes your legs go weak just by getting close to it.

To make matters worse, he's also ridiculously good-looking.

A cool-colored shirt with broad shoulders and a narrow waist; the neckline revealed when the collar is loose is impeccably clean.

Just thinking about how he looked down at people made Jiang Li's ears burn.

【Honey, you're imagining things again.】

【Shut up.】

The data shows that your body temperature has risen.

At that moment, a soft sound came from the restaurant.

The housekeeper arrived quickly.

"Miss Jiang, dinner is ready."

Jiang Li originally wanted to maintain some composure.

But she came back from school today after all that trouble, and her stomach was already empty.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, the aroma immediately pushed her back into her chair, trying to maintain her composure.

The long dining table was laden with dishes.

The cordyceps-stewed chicken soup is served in a white porcelain bowl. The soup is golden in color, and the steam rises with a fresh aroma.

The steamed grouper was just drizzled with scallion oil; the fish meat was snow-white and tender, falling apart at the slightest touch of chopsticks.

Slow-cooked Wagyu beef is cut into thick slices, the cut surface is pink, and the juices pool at the bottom of the plate.

The crab roe risotto is incredibly fragrant, with each grain of rice infused with the aroma of crab roe and truffle.

The lobster is baked in cream and topped with caramelized cheese. The lobster meat is springy and has a milky flavor.

There was also braised sea cucumber in abalone sauce on the side; the sauce was thick and glossy, and it looked very expensive.

The dessert is divided into several small portions.

The grapefruit sorbet is refreshing, the caramel soufflé is still steaming, and the fruit tart is topped with neatly cut berries.

Jiang Li picked up a spoon and drank a bowl of chicken soup first.

"Child, I feel like I wasted my past life."

Next to the black and white cat, there was a small bowl containing specially prepared fish puree and cat food.

The fish meat was cut into very fine pieces, and it had a faint, fresh aroma.

[Honey, the food of the rich in this world tastes so good.]

Jiang Li added a piece of grouper.

The fish meat is tender and fresh when you bite into it.

Her eyes lit up.

The butler stood not far away, originally thinking that Miss Jiang would eat very little.

After all, she was too thin, with fair skin and slender shoulders and neck. When she ate with her eyes down, she was so well-behaved that she didn't seem like someone who would ask for an extra bite.

Ten minutes later, the butler quietly changed his mind.

Miss Jiang has a good appetite.

Ten minutes later, he mentally crossed out the word "very good".

This can no longer be called good.

She doesn't eat rudely; her movements are even quite refined.

She tasted and ate each dish with great care, as if she had the utmost respect for food.

The housekeeper brought in warm water and had an empty bowl removed from the table.

"Mr. Shen instructed that Miss Jiang can tell the kitchen what she wants to eat and doesn't need to hold back."

Jiang Li raised her head, her cheeks flushed a light pink from the hot soup.

She lowered her eyes a little embarrassed.

"Did I eat too much?"

The restaurant lights shone on her face, her lips were moistened by the soup, and her eyes sparkled.

The housekeeper's attitude remained unchanged.

"I'm glad Miss Jiang likes it."

That's incredibly wealthy.

Jiang Li lowered her head and silently forked up half a piece of fruit tart.

[Tongzi, I think I understand now. Being raised in luxury is truly blissful.]

[Baby, don't be too touched. Shen Yan's rating has increased, but his danger level has also risen.]

I understand.

That's what I was thinking.

But as she ate her caramel soufflé, she couldn't help but mentally give Shen Yan an extra two points.

Even though the person is not there, the care is everywhere.

This feels a bit strange.

Shen Yan's long, slender hands, though not directly touching her, had already arranged everything she could reach.

Jiang Li recalled his sharp shoulders and back beneath his black shirt, and the way he looked down at her with a lowered gaze.

The man's collar was never buttoned up properly.

Cold, restrained, yet carrying an inexplicable sense of danger.

Why was she thinking of these things? She quickly picked up her water glass, took a sip, and suppressed those chaotic thoughts.

【Honey, why is your mind wandering to color again?】

【Shut up.】

This system only detects changes in the host's body temperature.

That's because the soup was too hot.

The black and white cat looked at her, its whiskers twitching.

[Honey, being stubborn will affect your digestion.]

Jiang Li ignored it and continued eating her sorbet.

By the end of dinner, she was completely enveloped in a sense of satisfaction.

The maid showed no extra expression as she cleared the table.

But Jiang Li still felt that she had revealed something.

She picked up the calico cat, intending to hurry back to her room.

As we reached the stairwell, the housekeeper gently reminded us again.

"Ms. Jiang, the rooms next to the bedroom have been cleaned and are ready for your use."

Jiang Li nodded.

"it is good."

Back on the second floor, she first put the cat on her shoulder.

The black and white cat skillfully lay down, resting its chin on her shoulder.

"Honey, taking a walk after meals helps with digestion."

You just want to see the show, don't you?

This system has no human desires.

[When you were eating the fish paste just now, your tail was practically wagging like a fan.]

The black and white cat quieted down.

Jiang Li suppressed a laugh and walked forward along the corridor.

She had only intended to peek into the next room, and as soon as her hand touched a door, it opened gently.

The lights then turned on.
