She thanked them softly, her tone so sincere that she seemed genuinely moved by their kindness: "It's so good to have you all here."
These words were like a good medicine, instantly soothing Lin Yanran's dissatisfaction, deepening Rong Shenghan's smile, brightening Yuan Xu's eyes, and softening Xie Zhecheng's tense lips.
They were all immersed in the gentle trap she had woven, willingly giving themselves to her and falling for her.
After dinner, Yu Jiuyuan returned to her study. The moment she closed the door, the smile on her face vanished, leaving only a cold indifference.
She opened the system panel, looked at the four perfect favorability scores, and gently swiped her finger across the screen, finally stopping at the "Graduate Entrance Examination" task bar.
This was an extra goal she set for herself, unrelated to any system task. It was simply to prove her abilities, to gain a foothold in Saint Sakura Academy, and to pave the way for her future plans.
"Ding—The system has detected that the host has completed the postgraduate entrance examination. According to the system evaluation, the answer sheet meets the full score standard. Congratulations, host!" The system's notification sounded in my mind.
Yu Jiuyuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
A perfect score was nothing more than an expected result for her.
Her life has always unfolded according to her own script, and everyone and everything must serve her goals.
As night deepened outside the window, the river breeze lifted the curtains, revealing the dazzling city lights in the distance.
Yu Jiuyuan walked to the window and looked down at the four men below, each busy with their own tasks.
Rong Shenghan was on the phone confirming the details of the wedding banquet, Lin Yanran was instructing her assistant to prepare follow-up gifts, Yuan Xu was reviewing information, and Xie Zhecheng was processing documents.
They are all working hard for her and making sacrifices for her; how wonderful.
She picked up a sample wedding invitation from the table. The red cardstock was embossed with gold patterns and had her and Rong Shenghan's names printed on it.
As her fingertips traced the words "newlyweds," her eyes held a tender yet playful gaze.
In the days to come, she will continue to play the role of the innocent, harmless, gentle and considerate eldest daughter of the Yu family, enjoying the treatment of being the center of attention and controlling everyone's emotions and destiny.
As for those so-called "love" and "sincerity," to her, they were nothing more than the cheapest things, yet also the most effective weapons.
She gently closed the invitation, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.
A perfect score on the postgraduate entrance exam was just one of her many trophies.
As night deepened, the soft light in the study could not penetrate Yu Jiuyuan's cold and crazed heart.
She leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and a meaningful smile played on her lips as she looked forward to the start of the next game.
