He tricked the female lead into becoming his boyfriend, but then went on to criticize the male lead.

The car smoothly drove into the lush, upscale villa area, passing by neatly trimmed greenery and well-arranged courtyards.

Sang Jiuning leaned against the car window, her eyes filled with undisguised surprise.

She originally thought that moving with her mother, Fu Xulan, would just be moving to an ordinary upscale apartment, but looking at the impressive detached villas in front of her, her heart started beating faster.

When the car slowly came to a stop in front of a European-style detached villa, with marble steps and exquisite wrought iron railings, the villa was simple yet exuded luxury. Sang Jiuning was completely stunned. Her mouth was slightly open, and her heart was filled with a huge wave of excitement: This is too magnificent!

The wealthy and powerful families in novels have become a reality!

Uncle De, the driver and butler, had already gotten out of the car. He first respectfully opened the car door for Fu Xulan and Sang Jiuning, and then skillfully took out Sang Jiuning's luggage from the trunk and handed it directly to the middle-aged woman who came to greet them.

The middle-aged woman was a very kind-looking person with a friendly smile on her face. She took the luggage and said with a smile, "Madam, Miss, you must be tired from your journey. I am Wang Ma, and I am in charge of cooking."

"The rooms have all been prepared. Miss and Madam's rooms are on the second floor, in the best-lit areas," said Wang Ma, as she picked up her suitcase and walked into the villa. Her tone was familiar and caring, showing no sign of unfamiliarity.

Stepping inside the villa, Sang Jiuning was immediately struck by its understated luxury, devoid of ostentatious opulence. The high-quality furniture and soft, warm lighting showcased exquisite craftsmanship in every detail.

She followed Fu Xulan upstairs on the soft carpet, her heart filled with a mixture of doubt and surprise, and she became even more curious about her mother's past.

"Miss, this is your room. It faces the sun and gets sunlight all day long; it's very comfortable." Wang Ma stopped and pointed to a bedroom with a half-open door, introducing it with a smile. She then pointed to the next room, "Madam's room is right next door. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Fu Xulan raised her hand and gently pushed open the door.

In an instant, a gentle pink hue swept over her, completely filling Sang Jiuning's vision.

The pale pink velvet curtains hung halfway down, and the warm sunlight slanted in through the sheer curtains, casting soft, warm-colored bands of light on the smooth teak floor.

The room is decorated in a princess style, with a pink princess bed draped with delicate gauze curtains that sway gently in the breeze. The matching sheets and duvet covers are soft and cozy. The wardrobe and desk next to it are simple and gentle light pink, and every detail touches the softest spot in a girl's heart.

Sang Jiuning stood at the door, completely stunned, her eyes filled with amazement and disbelief.

Looking at her daughter's stunned expression, Fu Xulan smiled gently, reached out and affectionately stroked Sang Jiuning's soft, long hair. Her fingertips were warm to the touch, and her voice was so gentle it could melt water: "Ningning, do you like the room I prepared for you?"

Sang Jiuning suddenly came to her senses, her heart felt like it was soaking in a honey pot, sweet and warm, and her nose felt slightly sore.

In her past life, she never dared to dream of having a princess room that perfectly suited her tastes. This completely fulfilled her long-held dream of being a princess.

She blinked hard, suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes, and nodded vigorously, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy and emotion: "Mom, I love it so much! I absolutely love it! It's the most beautiful room I've ever seen!"

Seeing the sparkle in her daughter's eyes, Fu Xulan was filled with joy, feeling that all the preparations had been worthwhile. She asked softly, "I'm glad you like it. You must be tired from the journey. Would you like Mom to help you unpack?"

"No need, no need, Mom, go check your room!" Sang Jiuning quickly shook her head, pushing Fu Xulan's arm, her voice sweet and coquettish, "I can tidy up myself, it'll be quick, you go and rest."

"Okay, then take your time tidying up. If you need anything, just call for Mom, or you can call for Aunt Wang." Fu Xulan smiled helplessly and affectionately, gave a few instructions, and then turned and left with Aunt Wang, gently closing the door behind her.

In an instant, only Sang Jiuning was left in the room. She threw herself onto the soft princess bed, hugged the fluffy pink pillow, and rolled around happily, her joy almost overflowing.

Suddenly, on a whim, the first person who flashed through her mind was Wen Zhaoci.

Such a beautiful room, such a gorgeous princess bed—she wanted to share it with Wen Zhaoci immediately, to show him her new room, and to give him a little taste of her newfound vanity.

Sang Jiuning immediately sat up in bed, tidied her long, loose hair, found the best angle in the sunlight, tilted her head back at a 45-degree angle, gently pressed her left index finger against her pouting lips, raised her phone with her right hand, and pressed the shutter button on herself.

In the photo, the girl's long hair falls smoothly over her shoulders, and the warm golden sunlight shines on her delicate face, giving her a soft halo. Her eyebrows are curved, her smile is bright and sunny, and she radiates a dazzling light. She is cute and touching.

She looked at the photo, nodded in satisfaction, immediately opened the chat box with Wen Zhaoci, sent the photo, and quickly typed a line of text, her fingertips brimming with joy.

After sending the message, Sang Jiuning held her phone, staring at the screen with anticipation, and couldn't help but mutter to herself: Wen Zhaoci, hurry up and come out and praise my new bed!

Just a few seconds later, the phone vibrated, and Wen Zhaoci replied to the message instantly.

Sang Jiuning couldn't wait to open the message. As she read the text he sent, a faint blush instantly spread across her cheeks. She felt sweet inside, and her vanity instantly surged.

[ZC: Beautiful! The baby is super cute, and the bed is beautiful too.]

Sang Jiuning only noticed the last four words, ignoring the rest. Having received the praise she wanted, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

No, that's not enough. She wants to take a few more pictures to satisfy her little vanity.

Holding her phone, Sang Jiuning quickly walked to the balcony of her room. The view was open and the sunlight was abundant. She took two more beautiful selfies and even dug out her treasured "Totoro wearing a hair tie and wiggling its butt" emoticon pack, sending them to Wen Zhaoci. Her heart was full of girlish pride and coquettishness.

After sending the message, Sang Jiuning leaned against the balcony railing, holding her phone, eagerly awaiting Wen Zhaoci's reply.

Soon, the phone lit up again, and Wen Zhaoci's message came again. There were no extra words, only a big Totoro emoji with its hands holding a heart, which was cute and full of affection.

Sang Jiuning looked at the meme and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
