The Yaohui Mall was bustling with noise and excitement.

Fei Yangyao stood at the entrance of his family's mall, his heart filled with a thousand emotions. Having lived two lives, this was the first time he was entering a mall so seriously to buy women's clothing.

Faced with a dazzling array of clothes, he was momentarily lost and unsure of what to buy.

After a brief thought, Fei Yangyao decided to follow the sales associate and pick out some everyday wear first.

"Your task today is to buy twenty sets of beautiful clothes, understand?" Young Master Fei instructed solemnly.

The little maid's face showed difficulty. "Twenty sets? Isn't that too much?"

Young Master Fei frowned. "Too much? Then add ten more sets! And you must have fifteen work uniforms!"

The little maid was dumbfounded. "Huh?"

"How about this one?"

He pointed to an outfit the sales associate was introducing: a loose, dark green shirt paired with high-waisted, dark blue denim shorts, and black loafers, exuding youthfulness and fashion.

The little maid was shocked when she saw the price: eight thousand eight!

"Isn't eight thousand eight too expensive? That's almost my food budget for a year."

However, Young Master Fei waved his hand without hesitation. "Take it!"

"Huh?"

Young Master Fei ignored her and pointed to the next outfit, Summer Flower Dream.

A bright yellow floral dress, made of light fabric adorned with delicate flowers. The V-neck puff-sleeve design outlined a retro and elegant style. The irregular hemline swayed gently. Wearing it with pink open-toe sandals, perfect for a light dress, felt like embracing the gentleness and fantasy of an entire summer.

"Stop dawdling, come look at this one?" He felt this one suited her better.

"Twelve thousand, even more expensive than the last one?"

"Take this one too."

"Huh?"

And so, the domineering CEO Young Master began his shopping spree with the "ah-bba" little maid.

"This one, this one, this one, this one... wrap them all up! Have her try them on."

Fei Yangyao waved his hand, pointing to several outfits he liked and telling them to have her try them on first.

"This is too wasteful," Jiang Anran said, looking very nervous.

"It's not what you think, it's what I think. Go change! Buy what suits you. Wearing those tattered old school uniforms, do you want to embarrass my Fei Family?"

Jiang Anran had no rebuttal to this reason and could only go change.

However, she secretly noted this kindness in her heart.

Some of these clothes were maid outfits and OL attire for work, but more were just beautiful everyday clothes, including everything she could and should wear – clothes, shoes, hats, scarves, small bags, and hair accessories.

Jiang Anran knew that Young Master Fei was "hiding goods" within the few embarrassing work uniforms. He was more thoughtfully and meticulously selecting new clothes for her.

Every outfit suited her perfectly.

Her heart was filled with not only gratitude but also determination.

Aside from Little, no one had ever treated her kindly.

Since she had ventured into society alone, she was no longer an innocent, naive little girl.

She had deeply understood: one cannot just listen to what others say; it's more important to observe what they actually do.

Fei Yangyao was the type of person who said he was doing bad things but whose actions honestly did good deeds.

This must be what they call "a sharp tongue but a soft heart," right?

Her previous bosses, including the convenience store owner, only said nice things but actually tried to take advantage of her at every turn.

It was always easy to be outwardly kind but inwardly wicked, while Young Master Fei anonymously did good deeds and bore a bad reputation.

Although she didn't know why Young Master Fei acted this way, Jiang Anran's determination to understand the matter grew stronger.

In just one day, if she had only been somewhat curious about Fei Yangyao before, now that he was genuinely kind to her and never looked at her with lewd eyes, she secretly decided to repay him with twelve parts of her effort.

The young girl's mindset quietly shifted at this moment.

Good heavens!

Fei Yangyao had no idea!

Once the idea that "Young Master Fei is a good person" took root in Jiang Anran's heart, his bad attitude was useless because he truly hadn't done anything bad to her, and he couldn't.

You must know, this is the female lead! She must be revered like a Bodhisattva, to prevent any mistakes and await the development of the plot.

If Fei Yangyao could know Jiang Anran's true thoughts, perhaps there would still be room for redemption.

But what if he didn't know?

Then there would truly be no way out!

Unsolvable!

"Young Master, I will serve you wholeheartedly!"

"Mhm! Go change! Have the sales assistant accompany you, and tell her if you need anything."

Fei Yangyao didn't notice at all that the maid's way of addressing him had subtly changed, nor did he notice her eyes were shining with excitement. He was instead immersed in the ding-dong sound of a mission notification, casually responding a couple of times.

[Ding!]

[Mission Complete!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining an increased drop rate for one lottery draw.]

[Mission Reward: Disposable Voice Changer]

[This voice changer can perfectly imitate a person's voice and becomes invalid after one use.]

A disposable voice changer? What use could this thing have?

Fei Yangyao couldn't think of any immediate uses for it.

"Young Master."

Snapping back from his deep thought, Young Master Fei lost himself again. Jiang Anran, who was originally dignified and graceful, became cute and playful in the mini-skirted maid outfit commonly known as a neon maid outfit.

She wore a white shirt with a small round collar, its edges outlined with delicate lace. The mini-skirt made of black fabric barely reached mid-thigh, meticulously sewn from black material. A black silk belt cinched her charming waistline. She wore black patent leather Mary Janes, their shoelaces adorned with small bows. Her long hair was styled into twin ponytails, tied with black ribbon bows that matched the belt.

Young Master Fei was momentarily stunned, a flush creeping onto his slightly tanned face, while his fair ear tips turned bright red. It was a charming contrast to the shy Jiang Anran. They stood in silence, neither knowing who should speak first or how to start, when a ringing sound broke the quiet.

Young Master Fei fumbled for his phone, saying, "Okay... okay, no need to try on the rest. My taste as Young Master Fei won't be wrong. Just wrap them all up. You... you change into a longer one."

"Mhm..." Jiang Anran murmured in response and went back to change into a long dress.

Young Master Fei raised his hand to answer the call, "Hello, who is this?"

A questioning voice came from the other end.

"You don't know who I am? You didn't save my number?"

"Huh? Who are you? Why would I save your number?"

"It's you, you idiot! You can't even recognize my voice?" the other person's tone grew harsher.

"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm hanging up."

His mind was a bit jumbled right now. Although the voice sounded familiar to Young Master Fei, he didn't need to grovel and guess. In this world, besides Gu Xiyue, no one made him...

Gu Xiyue?

Wait!

Fei Yangyao broke out in a cold sweat. He was so flustered by Jiang Anran that he'd forgotten Gu Xiyue's voice.

"Ah, Xiyue... This, this, you listen to my explanation..." Cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

Silence ensued between them. "..."

"What's your excuse?"

"Haven't thought of one yet."

Fei Yangyao wasn't being honest; his face was just too hot, his brain overloaded, and he couldn't think of a single thing.

"Where are you now?"

"Uh... What are you going to do?"

"Tell me quickly! I'm coming to find you!"

"At my family's mall."

"Wait there, I! Will! Be! There! Immediately!"

Hearing Gu Xiyue's suppressed anger, Fei Yangyao felt a sense of dread and wanted to slip away, but his persona wouldn't allow it.

Knowing the goddess was coming, it wouldn't be right for him, in his simp persona, not to rush out and greet her. How could he possibly slip away?

He stared intently at the entrance, awkwardly waiting, his big toe tapping on the ground, as if trying to build a garden villa on his little patch of land.

"Does it look good, Young Master?"

Turning around, he saw Jiang Anran, still dignified and graceful, a smile on her lips, her hands clutching the hem of her skirt. She was wearing the d-play brand yellow floral dress from earlier, which had a distinctly autumnal feel. It gave off a bright summer vibe, and even though she was being cooled by the indoor air conditioning, Young Master Fei immediately felt a gust of summer breeze, which was quite refreshing.

"It looks good, it suits your temperament perfectly."

Hearing the Young Master's compliment, Jiang Anran's smile bloomed like a flower.

"What looks good? Let me see too!"

That gritted-teeth voice?
