The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 27: Male Lead Rong Yiqing

When Maya Monroe woke up, it was already daylight, and she found herself not in the car but in her bedroom.

Too lazy to think about how she got back, Maya quickly found the bracelet she had prepared in advance. She even went out of her way to find a gift box to package it.

The gift box looked elegant and beautiful, but the bracelet inside...

Maya was already eager to see the expressions on The Rowe Family’s faces.

After getting in the car, Ian handed her a gift box. "This is a gift prepared for you to present to Grandma during the birthday banquet."

In past holiday banquets, the gifts Maya prepared were always unsatisfactory, so Ian would prepare an extra one for her.

After all, Maya also represented his reputation.

Maya did not take the gift, she just firmly said, "I’ve prepared a really good gift this time, it will absolutely amaze Grandma! In any case... keep this gift for yourself, the one I chose will better express my feelings. Don’t you agree, hubby?"

Seeing how confident she was, Ian put it away.

She had changed a lot during this time, and he unknowingly started to trust her a bit more.

The Rowe Family matriarch had three sons and a daughter.

The eldest son, Adrian Rowe, and his wife, Tanya Taylor, had two sons, Ian Rowe and Eric Rowe. Adrian and Tanya passed away in a car accident ten years ago, leaving Ian in charge of the family. Eric had just finished his studies abroad and was quite a mischievous character growing up.

The second son, Franklin Rowe, and his wife, Jessica Young, had a son and a daughter, Howard Rowe and Fiona Rowe. Howard was a painter with a knack for antiques and such. Fiona was younger and still in high school.

The third son, Tristan Rowe, was adopted and often traveled abroad for business. He had not married yet, but the matriarch was very fond of him.

Quentin Rowe married a famous musician, and they had a four-year-old son, Woody Moss.

Maya recalled the details about these people, then went with Ian to wish the matriarch a happy birthday.

The matriarch had been bedridden recently due to illness, but she seemed much better now. She wore a festive Tang suit and walked around with the help of Erin Hayes.

Ian stepped forward to support her. "Grandma, why aren’t you resting in your room?"

Yolanda Sawyer waved her hand. "Lying in bed every day is making my limbs atrophy! I’d rather walk around like this; with a good mood, any illness can be cured, right?"

Yolanda looked at Maya with affection and waved her over. "Oh Maya, come here, come here. You’ve become so beautiful in just a few days; I almost didn’t recognize you." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Maya walked up to Yolanda Sawyer. "Grandma."

Yolanda nodded repeatedly. "I haven’t seen you in a while; you seem much calmer now. Say, Ian hasn’t been bullying you, has he?"

After Maya said no, Yolanda continued, "If he bullies you, don’t bear it, come to me, and I’ll stand up for you!"

Maya nodded.

The matriarch liked her at the moment, but unfortunately, she would soon be disappointed in her.

"Bro!"

Suddenly, an excited voice rang out, carrying the clarity of youth.

The matriarch chuckled. "Eric just returned this morning, and he couldn’t wait to see you. Go and chat with him for a while."

Yolanda Sawyer then looked at Maya, who was somewhat absent-minded. "Maya, when you married Ian, Eric was still studying abroad. Now that he’s back, go over and join them!"

Maya had no choice but to nod.

Eric Rowe was the male lead of this novel, "The Undefeated Naïve Girl." He was a super-rich second-generation who hit it off with Kiki Monroe while making his way in the entertainment industry. Ultimately, he used his handsome looks and superior social standing to outshine other male interests and win over the beauty’s heart!

Kiki Monroe would also attend this birthday banquet, marking the beginning of their acquaintance. Eric was impressed by her artistic talent and beauty, leaving a lasting impression on him.

Eric was twenty-two, like Ian, with a tall stature. He wore branded clothes head to toe, and even his shoes were limited edition. Eric’s appearance resembled Ian’s to some extent, but he was more cheerful and still retained some youthful vibe.

"Big bro, I missed you so much! Now that I’ve finished my studies, you have no excuse to keep me away anymore!"

Ian glanced at his slightly darker than tan skin. "A bit tanned, and you’ve lost some weight."

"Hahaha, it’s from playing golf in the sun!"

Eric then looked at Maya approaching, raising an eyebrow. "Hey, who’s this pretty young lady? I don’t think I’ve seen her before."

Maya hesitated for a moment.

Ian glanced at him, introducing, "Maya Monroe, your sister-in-law."

Eric instantly became excited. "Ah, so you’re my sister-in-law! Nice to meet you, sis-in-law. I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

Eric could hardly associate the stunning girl before him with the infamous Maya Monroe.

"I didn’t expect sis-in-law to be so beautiful. I’d have to use you as a standard when looking for a spouse in the future."

At the table, the whole family sat neatly together, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Only Tristan Rowe was busy with business abroad and couldn’t return but sent a gift.

The most out of place was Kiki Monroe.

Kiki Monroe was dressed in a tasteful white dress, enhancing her pure temperament.

Kiki couldn’t resist glancing in Ian’s direction, feeling he seemed familiar as if she’d seen him somewhere. Looking at his face, her heart raced; this man was much more attractive than any male star. Realizing he was Maya’s husband, Kiki felt a twinge of displeasure.

Soon, Kiki noticed a gaze studying her. She looked over to see a handsome man, mistakenly assuming he was captivated by her, and gave him a gentle smile.

Unexpectedly, his expression turned somewhat complex.

Eric felt a chill; he noticed this woman staring intently at his brother and instinctively glanced at her. Unexpectedly, she looked at him with such a gaze as if he were a puppy admirer...

Suppressing his displeasure, Eric directly asked, "I don’t think I’ve met you, who are you?"

Kiki was taken aback, instinctively clutching her dress, feeling a surge of embarrassment under the gazes of others.
