This was Yu Ning's first visit to the Huo family.

Legend has it that the home of the biggest villain in the entire book... is that?

After changing her shoes upon entering, the girl's fair face appeared calm and composed, but her slightly clenched palms were already damp with a thin layer of sweat; it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous and apprehensive.

But as she walked through the entryway into the living room, and her view gradually opened up, Yu Ning's gaze suddenly froze.

She had imagined what the residence of a top-tier wealthy family like the Huo family would be like—perhaps as magnificent and dazzling as the auction venue that day, but not like this…

Whether it's the house itself or the design and furnishings, the "expensiveness" is clearly visible to the naked eye. Although they try to be low-key, the noble air and heritage unique to the top-tier families cannot be concealed.

What truly surprised Yu Ning was...

—Warm and cozy.

These two words suddenly jumped into her mind when she saw the whole picture.

The cabinet is filled with rows of whimsical collectibles: little animal balloons tied to green plants, and exquisitely colorful candy jars...

Yu Ning's eyes, which hadn't blinked for a long time, trembled slightly, and she sat down on the sofa in a daze, following the footsteps of the people around her.

Moreover, there were no servants swarming around as I had imagined. There was only a housekeeper in the kitchen, two security guards at the villa entrance, and even the tea—

"..."

Yu Ning stared down at the cup of tea on the coffee table, her gaze lingering for a long while before mechanically raising her head to look at the person who skillfully served the tea—Xie Jingcheng.

Why does it feel like he's back home?

"Thank you, classmate."

Noticing that Aunt Ning was busy, Xie Jingcheng, who had just put down the tray and skillfully taken over the task of serving the guests, heard the girl's polite voice.

Yu Ning wanted to put on a friendly smile, but the attempt to force a smile felt forced, so she gave up.

How did Xie and Chaochao meet?

Xie Jingcheng raised the corners of his phoenix eyes slightly, twirled the bottom of the cup with his fingertips, and replied calmly, "Friendship between prominent families."

It's just that their friendship started with his generation and Chaochao's generation, but they were still neighbors, so how can that not count?

The moment he finished speaking, Yu Ci and Pei Yushen simultaneously glanced at Xie Jingcheng, the meaning in their eyes self-evident.

Except for Yu Ning, she believed it.

"I see."

Although the Huo and Xie families, who were rivals in the novel, suddenly became close friends in reality, which seems a bit unbelievable, it is not impossible. In this world, no one is an NPC who lives by giving orders, and there is no unchanging plot.

The Huo family's eventual decline in the book may not necessarily happen... but what if the male protagonist's halo is just too strong?

Yu Ning's thoughts drifted further and further away, and she gazed thoughtfully at the boy in black.

She was wondering if she should first bring down the Xie family, the original culprit, to eliminate future troubles, so that the little dumpling would be no threat in the future.

Yu Ning wants to protect Chaochao so she can grow up well.

Hearing Yu Ning's extremely dangerous words, 010 stepped forward and ruthlessly poured cold water on her: "Come on, you're still 1 billion in debt, how are you going to fight the Xie family? And you don't even know that the Xie family's stock price went up again the other day, do you?"

That day, both the Hox and Xie groups shared the launch date of Whalewave Intelligent Robot and also broadcast a preview.

That video garnered over 100 million views in just one day.

Anyone who clicks on the video will undoubtedly be extremely curious about the most powerful home AI that has yet to be revealed.

Yu Ning, who was ridiculed, was not annoyed: "...People should always have lofty ideals, otherwise, with this hanging in the air, how can they be motivated to earn that billion?"

010 was rendered speechless, and finally let out a bluffing hum before disappearing back into its sea of ​​consciousness.

"So... does Chaochao often pick you up from school?"

Yu Ning curled the corners of her mouth and asked the question with a smile, her eyes glancing at Yu Ci, who was quietly watering the green plants. Her beautiful smile contained a hint of gritted teeth.

She had even asked him before if his name was Yu Chaochao.

Yu Ci glanced sideways and smiled slightly at the girl.

—I have never admitted to that.

Yu Ning: "Heh."

This statement clearly had an implied meaning. Xie Jingcheng had a feeling that there was a past between the two that he was unaware of, but he was generally not interested in knowing about things outside of the court.

Instead of delving into other people's entanglements, Xie Jingcheng's phoenix eyes turned indifferently, his dark gaze falling on Pei Yushen, who was changing TV channels. His voice was not loud, but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear: "Hmm."

Pei Yushen's hand holding the remote control paused almost imperceptibly, then he pressed the button without making a sound, and the Peppa Pig animation interface immediately appeared on the ultra-high-definition screen.

Driven by a strong desire to witness the drama, Xiao Qi, unable to suppress her curiosity, sent a wisp of energy to lurk beside the 010 system, witnessing such a wonderful scene that she could only applaud in amazement.

Any two of these four could easily start a fight!

"Sister Yu Ning!!"

The little dumpling, who had disappeared as soon as she entered the door, suddenly burst out of the kitchen like a cannonball, stopping abruptly in front of her. "Sister, what kind of food do you like to eat? I can ask Auntie to cook it! Auntie's cooking is always super delicious!"

"My...my favorite dishes?"

Yu Ning's heart skipped a beat.

"Mmm!" Chaochao nodded seriously, and didn't forget to emphasize again, "It's really delicious!"

Yu Ning silently rubbed her fingertips together, then smiled and said, "I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything, there's no need to prepare any more dishes."

"But there's always a favorite, isn't there?"

Chaochao tilted her head. Putting aside her three older brothers, she talked about herself. Of course, she liked to eat everything, but "I like shrimp the most. It's delicious no matter how it's cooked!"

A certain little dumpling with a "shrimp brain" was talking about eight ways to cook shrimp with great expertise, but halfway through, she suddenly realized her mistake and quickly steered the conversation back to the original topic, her eyes sparkling with seriousness:

"I'll give you anything you like, sister!"

"Click—"

"Splash—"

"Bang--"

The little dumpling's sincere, childlike voice rang out, and almost simultaneously, three places in the hall made a sound.

Xie Jingcheng calmly placed the teacup on the tray.

Yu Ci shook the kettle in his hand slightly, spilling two or three drops of water.

Pei Yushen was about to put down the remote control when it accidentally fell onto the carpet.

The system chuckled loudly, its laughter sounding like a goose's call.
