Yuan Xu held his incubator, intently watching the experimental data on the tablet. Occasionally, when he looked up, his gaze would unconsciously fall on Yu Jiuyuan.
Lin Yanran leaned against the window, seemingly admiring the scenery, but when the air currents blew, she would subconsciously reach out to protect Yu Jiuyuan beside her, even though she herself frowned because of the turbulence.
Yu Jiuyuan saw all of this, but her eyes remained completely calm.
She already knew exactly what these men were thinking.
Xie Zhecheng's silent protection, Yuan Xu's pure infatuation, Lin Yanran's hypocrisy, and Rong Shenghan's gentle possessiveness are all perfect footnotes in her taming manual.
They were all her spoils, a diversion from her boring life, and the perfect vehicle for her desire for control.
As evening fell, the plane landed at the private airport. The Yu family's convoy was already waiting outside, a line of black cars, exuding an imposing presence.
The butler respectfully stepped forward and took their luggage: "Miss, gentlemen, the villa is ready and dinner is prepared."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhang." Yu Jiuyuan nodded in response, her tone gentle yet carrying an innate air of nobility.
The convoy drove smoothly toward the villas in the city.
As the car drove into the familiar tree-lined avenue, Yu Jiuyuan watched the scenery flash by outside the window. The relaxation in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by her usual calm and detachment.
This is her territory, the starting point for her to control everything.
Back here, she once again became the aloof and superior eldest daughter of the Yu family, the all-around perfect warrior.
When we returned to the villa, dinner was already laid out.
The long dining table was laden with exquisite dishes, all of which were to the liking of the group.
Xie Zhecheng pulled out the chair for Yu Jiuyuan in an elegant and respectful manner.
Yuan Xu sat next to her, still muttering about the experimental data in a low voice, but she would subconsciously slow down her speech when Yuan Xu picked up food.
Lin Yanran sat opposite her, seemingly nonchalant, but would subtly push her favorite dishes toward her.
Rong Shenghan sat on the other side of Yu Jiuyuan, constantly putting food on her plate, his tone gentle: "Eat more, you haven't eaten properly on the trip."
Yu Jiuyuan accepted the food with a smile, occasionally picking up a piece of food and handing it to the person next to her, which made Xie Zhecheng's eyes light up, Yuan Xu stop muttering, and Lin Yanran's lips unconsciously curve upwards.
She's like a queen, and any casual gesture from her can make her "loyal dogs" ecstatic.
After dinner, Xie Zhecheng took the initiative to clean up the dishes. His perfectionism meant that he strictly followed the steps even when washing dishes.
Yuan Xu, clutching his incubator, eagerly returned to his room, clearly wanting to begin his experiment immediately.
Lin Yanran went to the terrace, took out her phone and called someone, her tone still somewhat arrogant, but without her usual hostility.
Yu Jiuyuan and Rong Shenghan sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the night view outside the window.
The city lights shone brightly, illuminating the tranquility of the villa.
"You'll be busy again when you get back, won't you?" Rong Shenghan held Yu Jiuyuan's hand, his tone tinged with concern. "Don't forget to adjust your work schedule and don't overwork yourself."
He knew Yu Jiuyuan's personality; she wanted to do everything to the extreme. Even after she started assigning tasks, she would still keep a firm grip on the core matters.
He felt sorry for her hard work, but he also knew that this was her choice and her responsibility as the heir of the Yu family.
Yu Jiuyuan leaned against him, feeling his warm body temperature and strong heartbeat, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips: "I know, I won't make myself too tired."
It was late at night. After washing up, Yu Jiuyuan returned to the master bedroom.
"The trip is over. Do you feel much more relaxed now?" Rong Shenghan's voice was deep and gentle as his fingertips lightly traced her back.
"It's alright." Yu Jiuyuan nuzzled against his chest, her voice soft and sweet. "As long as you're here, it's the same wherever we are."
Her tone carried just the right amount of dependence, but only she knew that this dependence was merely a means of taming her.
Rong Shenghan is her most prized "creation," the man she bestowed the title of master upon. Treating him well will make him more devoted to her and keep the other "loyal dogs" in line.
Rong Shenghan was clearly taken with this. He tightened his arms and hugged her even tighter: "I will always be with you."
Yu Jiuyuan did not respond, but instead raised her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and kissed his lips.
The temperature in the room gradually rose, and an ambiguous atmosphere replaced the coolness of the night.
The lights outside the window still shone brightly, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually faded away, and the villa was quiet.
In the master bedroom, their breaths mingled, tender and passionate.
Yu Jiuyuan lay in Rong Shenghan's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, a smile of complete control curving her lips.
Her journey has ended, but her path continues.
Xie Zhecheng's indifference, Yuan Xu's infatuation, Lin Yanran's arrogance, and Rong Shenghan's possessiveness are all the most interesting seasonings in her life.
In her world, there is no true love, only control and being controlled.
Returning to the familiar city and her busy life, she will still be that seemingly innocent and harmless young lady who is indifferent and in control of everything.
The affairs of the new student council, the power of the Yu family, and the men around her whom she has firmly tamed will all proceed step by step according to her plan.
As night deepened, Yu Jiuyuan fell into a deep sleep in Rong Shenghan's arms.
She knew that when she woke up tomorrow, a new round of busyness and challenges awaited her.
But she was not afraid; on the contrary, she was full of anticipation.
