Villa, Hospitality, Understand?

Huh? How did Jiang Anran wake up?

Not only Young Master Fei saw Jiang Anran, but Ye Chen—who bore the reputation of a human teddy radar—also spotted her, instantly leaking a bit of... drool. He hurriedly sucked it back in, teddy instincts triggered, and rushed forward to ask, "Pardon me, miss..."

Before he could finish, a gurgling sound accompanied by a gush of yellowish-green matter burst forth, gradually filling the lobby with a bizarre odor faintly discernible amid the pungent disinfectant. Ye Chen's face flushed a deep, blazing red as he clamped his butt cheeks together and bolted out.

"Young master, not seeing the doctor anymore? Why are you leaving?" A Jiu followed.

"Young master, did you smell that just now? Someone was taking a dump in there! So impolite!"

"Shut up! Don't follow me! You're the reason I've completely lost face!"

He remembered previously instructing her to buy chrysanthemum medicine, only for her to say yesterday when he returned that she didn't buy it because she got lost.

Lost? Then how could she find her way back? Why didn't she get lost out there?

He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized she had so many issues.

Maybe bringing only A Jiu along was the most wrong decision he had ever made in his life?

The onlookers around watched this young man treat a young woman this way, one after another standing by and pointing fingers.

"This young man looks scholarly, how come he's so crude?"

"Public morals are degenerating day by day. Back in our era, such tender little kids were treated like treasures and offered up."

"There's a stench coming off this guy. One look and you can tell he's a creepy jerk."

"He's so rude, I love it~"

"You're not normal!"

"By the way, did you guys smell something?"

"I don't know, I have rhinitis."

"Looks like someone took a sh..."

Waves of noise surrounded Ye Chen. Facing the chattering mob like an ocean, a rush of anger surged to his heart, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"Shut up!" He casually blasted away two people blocking his way and ran off recklessly.

"Young master!" A Jiu was about to follow.

"You're not allowed to follow!"

A Jiu felt wronged???~

Leaving aside where Ye Chen ran off to.

Over here, the onlookers sent those two to the hospital and called the police.

"What's your name, little miss?"

Having just found Young Master Fei, Jiang Anran was given a strange errand by him: to take a can of beer to A Jiu and ask her a few questions. Matched with that wretched smile of his, it was hard not to think of him as a lewd man plotting in his mind how to violate this innocent young maiden.

Had she not known beforehand that Young Master Fei was definitely not as sleazy as he looked on the outside, Jiang Anran felt she would have definitely overthought it.

"Jiu Yun... Wow (*^▽^*)!" A Jiu, who had been feeling sad, caught sight of a can of top-quality... Green Island Beer, and stars instantly popped up in her eyes.

"Do you like it? Then answer big sis a few questions, and big sis will give it to you." Jiang Anran felt like she was luring a child.

"Okay, big sis, go ahead and ask. A Jiu will definitely answer honestly."

"What's wrong with your young master?" Listening to the questions in her earpiece, Jiang Anran copied them word for word.

"Young master... Young master said I can't tell others about his business."

Hearing the answer from the other side, Young Master Fei hadn't expected her to have such good self-protection awareness. But anyway, he wasn't harming her, so he could just take a roundabout approach.

Young Master Fei knew there was no need to play mind games with A Jiu.

"Oh, then what about you? What did you do today?"

From Ye Chen's previous reaction, Young Master Fei could roughly guess that it had something to do with what he did with A Jiu.

"In the morning, XX and I..."

So A Jiu told Jiang Anran everything from the morning onward one by one, naturally replacing the parts involving Ye Chen with XX.

Ye Chen taught her exceptionally "well"!

She had a very strong sense of confidentiality!

Jianren Convenience Store?

Is this that convenience store from before?

As far as Jiang Anran knew, Jianren Convenience Store was not a franchise, and there was only one in the entire South City.

Even though A Jiu didn't explain it very clearly, Jiang Anran, who used to work part-time there, understood that it must have been the batch of expired food she previously intended to dispose of that the boss took out to sell!

Expired!

Not near-expiration!

Because she was only responsible for the morning shift cashiering, Jiang Anran didn't know when that batch of bread was stocked, but that bread had been sitting there ever since she started working this month!

No wonder the boss stopped her every time she tried to throw it away.

So he had been secretly selling it all along!

How detestable!

Listening to Jiang Anran's indignant pants through the earpiece, Young Master Fei, who knew her personality, said coldly, "Don't get excited, it has nothing to do with us. Let's stay out of this matter."

"But..."

"Aren't you my maid? I don't care what you think, I care what I think. Listen to me, listen to everything I say, okay?"

He maintained his persona as a wicked young master just a little bit.

Young Master Fei himself deeply loathed this kind of thing, but there was no need to make a public spectacle of it.

Recalling the original novel, there didn't seem to be any extra plot for this shop; it merely served as the birthplace of the female lead, Jiang Anran.

He would just secretly resolve this matter afterward. That way, he could do his good deeds in secret while leaving others clueless—perfect!

"Big sis, who were you talking to just now?"

"It's nothing, A Jiu. Here is your reward!" Jiang Anran handed her the Green Island.

"Thank you, big sis!" A Jiu took it like a prized possession and immediately started drinking it with gurgling gulps.

Then, her body instantly went limp, and just as she was about to collapse to the ground, a gust of wind swept past. Young Master Fei used his quick wits and nimble hands to catch her.

"What's wrong with her?" Jiang Anran was somewhat startled. This was clearly canned beer she bought from a nearby shop; the alcohol content wasn't high, and she hadn't slipped any drugs into it either. How could this happen?

"This chick just has this constitution: she drinks the moment she sees alcohol, collapses the moment she touches it, and forgets the moment she collapses! She won't remember a single thing that happens next!" Young Master Fei added two wretched chuckles. "Hehe! Quick, take advantage of this moment to bring her back to the villa first; I'm going to properly host her."

Young Master Fei intentionally placed heavy stress on "host," afraid Jiang Anran wouldn't catch it, making the hint exceptionally obvious.

Although his persona was that of Gu Xiyue's devoted simp who couldn't pluck even a single wild flower, Jiang Anran didn't know that!

Occasionally tasting some game meat could deepen the "wicked young master" image in Jiang Anran's mind.

No outsiders would know, and it wouldn't affect the public's perception of his simping image either.

However...

"Okay!" Jiang Anran didn't know what she was thinking; without much hesitation, she agreed quite readily.

Wait, that's not right. Shouldn't she step up and stop me?

Jiang Anran's reaction left him baffled. This didn't fit her persona at all.

Or did she still not get it?

"Hospitality! Do you understand? If you don't understand, you need to ask more!"

"Then Young Master Fei, what does hospitality mean?"

"Hospitality, you see, means making both host and guest thoroughly happy. You understand host and guest thoroughly happy, right? It means doing that thing where everyone is super happy!"

Young Master Fei believed he had made himself very clear.

"Understood, Young Master Fei!"

"Then aren't you going to show some expression?" Seeing that Jiang Anran still wore a nonchalant expression, anger flared up in Young Master Fei.

You're the female lead, for crying out loud! What about your character setting?

A detestable bully is supposed to be picking on an innocent girl!

And she even looked so cute and dazed, too!

Just to be safe, fearing she still didn't understand, Young Master Fei decided to lay his cards on the table. "It means making babies!"

Even though he was playing the role of a wicked young master, saying such words still made him somewhat flush with embarrassment.

Mind you, having lived two lives, he hadn't even held a girl's hand—not even back in kindergarten.

Originally, although she trusted Young Master Fei to a certain extent and knew Young Master Fei of the Fei family was different on the inside than he appeared—hm, in a complimentary way—Jiang Anran still felt somewhat uneasy and intended to follow along to take a look.

Now, seeing Young Master Fei's wretched expression while his hands remained properly behaved, and hearing him say things that clearly contradicted his heart—Young Master Fei was so adorable that a mischievous urge suddenly flared up in Jiang Anran, and she decided to tease him properly.

"Expression? Young Master Fei, A Jiu still looks young and might not be good at making babies yet... If Young Master Fei is willing, how about you switch to me instead?"
