Half an hour later, Xu Tingchuan slowly drove the car toward a solemn mansion.

The red iron gate of the mansion slowly opened automatically. The tall trees on both sides and the guards standing straight made Ni Sitian feel even more pressured, and her body involuntarily tensed up.

After driving along a long tree-lined avenue, Ni Sitian saw a garden courtyard with a fountain.

The environment here is quiet and serene, with lush trees. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known that Yihai City had such a large and beautiful house.

The eighty-year-old European-style building stood there elegantly, and Ni Sitian couldn't bear to blink. It felt like a castle isolated from the outside world.

Xu Tingchuan parked the car, got out, walked around to Ni Sitian's car door, opened the door, and took her hand to get out of the car.

Ni Sitian's feet touched the ground, and she felt like Alice in Wonderland, finding the beautiful scenery before her incredible.

"You like this architectural style?" Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly when he saw Ni Sitian's eyes become blank.

Ni Sitian nodded quickly and said in a dreamy tone, "Every girl has a princess dream like this, living in such a beautiful castle and waiting for a handsome prince."

Xu Tingchuan tightened his grip on her hand, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Your prince is right beside you, no need to wait."

Ni Sitian chuckled, her previously tense nerves relaxing a bit.

Just as he was about to say something more, two servants came over carrying fresh flowers. When they saw Xu Tingchuan, they bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, young master and young mistress."

Ni Sitian was stunned for a moment before realizing that they were greeting her, but Xu Tingchuan hadn't introduced her yet. How did they know her identity?

Just then, Xu Jiayue's voice came from the front.

Ni Sitian looked up and saw Xu Jiayue coming out from inside, walking down the steps, and happily saying to her, "Sitian, you're here, come in quickly."

"You're being disrespectful. You should call her 'sister-in-law'," Xu Tingchuan corrected.

Xu Jiayue made a face at him and teased, "Sitian is even younger than me, it feels awkward for her to call me sister-in-law. Blame it on you, an old cow eating young grass."

Ni Sitian felt much more relaxed after their bickering.

Xu Jiayue affectionately took Ni Sitian's hand and smiled brightly, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

As she spoke, she led Ni Sitian toward the steps. Xu Tingchuan shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to carry the gifts and follow.

Two servants carrying bouquets followed Xu Tingchuan inside.

Ni Sitian entered the house and was amazed by its interior design.

The exterior already resembles a castle, but the interior is even more magnificent and grand than a palace, with every furnishing exuding understated luxury.

"Sitian, sit down." Xu Jiayue gestured for her to sit down.

The maid immediately served herbal tea and snacks, then bowed slightly and said, "Please enjoy your meal, young mistress."

"Thank you." Ni Sitian was a little unsure how to respond; she had only ever seen such scenes on television.

Yesterday, she shouldn't have only focused on how to please her in-laws; she should have also looked into how to be a guest in the palace...

The unfamiliar situation put her under immense pressure, causing her to unconsciously become reserved, sitting with her back ramrod straight.

After Xu Tingchuan came in, he put the gifts on the coffee table.

Ni Sitian looked at the gifts she had chosen and felt embarrassed; these things were completely out of place here.

Just like her, she doesn't fit in at all here.
