The third time Su Ming visited Xu Qianqian's villa, he no longer went to the reception room or the backyard. Instead, he came to Xu Qianqian's room.
Xu Qianqian led Su Ming into her own room, leaving the belatedly startled Su Ming somewhat stunned.
What surprised Su Ming even more was the way Xu Qianqian's room was decorated.
The room had neither the pink hues of a young girl nor the lavish splendor typical of a great family's children. Instead, it was unusually plain, simple, and monotonous.
"What? Surprised?"
Seeing Su Ming's astonished expression, Xu Qianqian asked him flatly.
"A little." Su Ming came back to himself, scratched his cheek, and said, "But thinking about it carefully, this does seem like your style."
She didn't need too many extravagant decorations or much outward show. Xu Qianqian had always been this simple, direct, and straightforward.
Still, for a young lady like her, he wondered whether such a life might be too dull.
"My room in the Xu Family isn't like this."
It was unclear whether she had seen through Su Ming's thoughts, but Xu Qianqian said this.
"Of course, I don't really like that family."
With that, Xu Qianqian turned toward Su Ming.
"Where's Xiao Hai'er?"
As expected, the young lady's first concern was the pet she had once cared for.
"Miling!"
Before Su Ming could say anything, the Mermaid Maiden let out a joyful cry, dispersed the mist, and appeared in the room before pouncing toward Xu Qianqian.
Xu Qianqian caught her smoothly, and her usually cool, pretty face softened considerably despite herself.
"Looks like you've been doing well."
Xu Qianqian stroked the Mermaid Maiden's little head in her arms, making Xiao Hai'er beam with delight.
The sight made Su Ming shake his head and sigh repeatedly.
