Yu Jiuyuan listened quietly, her face still showing that innocent and harmless look, but her eyes remained completely calm.
She had anticipated Lin Yanran's confession; it was merely the final step in her plan to win him over.
She looked at the man before her, who had once been arrogant and unruly but now bowed down to her, and slowly curled the corners of her lips into a gentle smile: "Yanran, I know your feelings."
She stepped forward and gently took his hand. The warmth of her fingertips sent a shiver down Lin Yanran's spine. "I'm so happy that I can make you change and treat me with sincerity. Of course, you can stay by my side from now on."
A simple sentence filled Lin Yanran with ecstatic joy.
Looking into Yu Jiuyuan's gentle eyes, he felt that all the waiting and sacrifices had been worthwhile.
He wanted to hug her, but hesitated because of something, and in the end he just held her hand tightly in return.
[Ding! Lin Yanran's affection level has increased by 14, current affection level is 100, conquest successful!]
The system notification sounded in Yu Jiuyuan's mind. She remained calm, but her smile grew even gentler: "Alright, let's go back, or they'll be getting impatient."
"Mmm!" Lin Yanran nodded vigorously, took her hand, and walked back with light steps.
Back in the crowd, Rong Shenghan immediately pulled Yu Jiuyuan back to his side, his eyes filled with a barely perceptible hint of jealousy.
Yu Jiuyuan sensed his emotions, looked up at him and winked, a sly smile in her eyes.
She knew that when she returned to the villa that evening, she would need to coax him to calm his jealousy.
The graduation ceremony concluded with solemn music.
The students took group photos one after another. Yu Jiuyuan was surrounded by several people, with a perfect smile on her face, cooperating with them for the photos.
Xie Zhecheng stood to her left, his posture upright and his eyes focused.
Yuan Xu stood to her right, a gentle smile on her face.
Lin Yanran stood diagonally in front of her, his eyes filled with admiration.
Rong Shenghan stood behind her, his hands naturally resting on her shoulders, exuding possessiveness.
The photo captures a moment where the sunlight is perfect and life is peaceful.
The villa was brightly lit at night.
After seeing off the guests who came to offer their congratulations, Yu Jiuyuan returned to her bedroom.
Rong Shenghan had already finished washing up and was lying in bed waiting for her. He was wearing a black silk robe, the collar slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone, and he was looking at her with deep eyes.
Yu Jiuyuan walked to the bedside, leaned down and hugged his neck, gently placing a kiss on his lips: "What's wrong? Still jealous?"
Rong Shenghan put his arm around her waist, led her to the bed, rolled over and pressed himself against her, his eyes burning: "What did you say to Lin Yanran?"
“It’s nothing,” Yu Jiuyuan blinked innocently, “It’s just that I’m grateful that you agreed to let him stay with me.”
"Is that so?" Rong Shenghan lowered his head and kissed her neck, the action carrying a hint of punishment. "Then shouldn't you make it up to me?"
Yu Jiuyuan chuckled softly, raised her hand to hug his back, and a hint of crazy possessiveness flashed in her eyes.
She enjoys the feeling of being cared for and sought after, and even more so, the thrill of having these exceptional individuals firmly under her control.
“Of course,” she whispered in his ear, her voice sweet and seductive, “I’ll do whatever you say.”
As night deepened, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the bedroom.
No matter how she interacts with others during the day, at night, Yu Jiuyuan ultimately belongs to Rong Shenghan.
These were the rules she set, and also the unique privileges she granted to this man.
In the other rooms of the villa, Xie Zhecheng was dealing with the final handover documents, but the image of Yu Jiuyuan on the podium during the day kept replaying in his mind.
Yuan Xu sat at her desk, looking at the biological sample in her hand, but her mind had already wandered far away.
Lin Yanran lay on the bed, recalling the confession under the camphor tree that afternoon, and couldn't help but smile.
They all knew they were just one of Yu Jiuyuan's many "pets," yet they willingly allowed themselves to be tamed by her, becoming hopelessly immersed in the gentle trap she had woven.
The graduation ceremony at St. Sakura Academy marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another.
Yu Jiuyuan has successfully won over all her targets and is about to enter St. Sakura University with her "pets" to start a new life.
And her taming manual will continue to write more wonderful stories in the new chapter.
As the heiress of a top-tier wealthy family, and a cold-blooded, selfish madwoman, she will continue to control everything, enjoying the thrill of being admired and adored, and holding everyone's hearts firmly in her grasp.
Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, falling on Yu Jiuyuan's sleeping face. A satisfied smile played on her lips, like that of a queen who ruled the world.
