"Who is it? Coming, coming, don't knock anymore, it must be someone chasing utility bills again."

Xiao Yixuan frowned, shuffling in her slippers from the tiny bedroom of just over ten square meters to the living room to open the door.

"Excuse me, does Xiao Yixuan live here?" Standing in the dim, damp corridor, Lin Hai, upon seeing a girl opening the door and frowning, took the initiative to ask.

"I am, who are you looking for." Xiao Yixuan was already in a bad mood, and she replied with an unhappy tone.

"Whaaat?" Lin Hai rubbed his eyes, scrutinizing the girl before him. She looked very pure, her bare-faced appearance was quite cute, and totally not the little gangster girl he had pictured in his mind with lip and ear piercings and a messy, explosive pig-like hairdo.

"The difference is too big, isn't it?" Lin Hai clicked his tongue.

Impatient, Xiao Yixuan frowned even more: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

She had just finished speaking when she took a closer look at Lin Hai's face.

At that glance, she froze, her mouth forming an "O" shape, her eyes filled with disbelief, and then hesitantly asked in a weak voice, "Are you, are you Prince Yu's elder brother, Lin, Master Lin?"

"Cough cough cough." Lin Hai nearly choked on his breath.

"I am Lin Hai." After saying this, Lin Hai thought for a moment and added, "Don't call me Master Lin; I'm just an ordinary person, you can also call me Brother Lin."

Immediately Xiao Yixuan showed a sincerely frightened expression.

In her and her friends' perspective, Yu Tianlin was the high and mighty Crown Prince of Huadu, a legendary figure, extremely wealthy, living in mansions, driving luxury cars, desired by countless girls dreaming to become Prince Yu's woman.

And here was Lin Hai, unremarkable in appearance, incredibly low-profile, Prince Yu's elder brother, before whom even Prince Yu had to drive as a chauffeur, all respectful.

Now, this immortal-like figure was so approachable, Xiao Yixuan was somewhat struggling to accept it.

"Are you not inviting me in to sit?" Lin Hai flashed a sunny, gentle smile.

"Ah, Master Lin, no, Brother Lin, please come in, please come in."

Xiao Yixuan couldn't control the excitement on her face, speaking very warmly while being extremely cautious, fearing she might offend Lin Hai with a single misplaced word.

Sitting in the living room on the couch, looking at Xiao Yixuan in her pink pajamas and fluffy slippers, pure and charming, it was totally impossible to associate her with the little gangster girl. She was simply the sunny girl next door.

But at the moment, this girl next door looked anxious, and Lin Hai was speechless.

"Xuanxuan, you sit too, I'm not a tiger, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you."

"Ugh, I still can't imagine that Eldest Young Master of Huadu himself would come to my house." Xiao Yixuan spoke excitedly yet timidly.

"Speechless, I'm just an ordinary person, little sister Xuanxuan." Lin Hai could only sigh, wondering why young people these days are so enthralled with social figures like him?

"Brother Lin, I actually rather hope you would 'eat' me." Xiao Yixuan said, then added, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to marry me, I'm very well-behaved, very sensible, I know that being a big brother's woman shouldn't expect too much."

Lin Hai felt like fleeing with his hands covering his face, the girls today were just too bold.

"I came to ask if you would like to work a job? Since you've dropped out of school now." Lin Hai asked.

Xiao Yixuan stared with unbelievingly wide eyes at Lin Hai, murmuring, "Are you here to offer me a job?"

Lin Hai smiled, "Originally, you helped our CEO, and now she wants to return the favor, so she sent me here."

"Ah!" Xiao Yixuan covered her agape mouth, feeling both surprised and a touch moved inside.

"What? You don't want to take the job? Then I'll talk to the CEO and just give you a sum of money, how about that?" Lin Hai said with a smile. He secretly hoped the girl would agree to work. A regular job would build a structured life, and interacting with different people would have a significant influence on her future growth. Living every day with a bunch of little gangsters would surely lead to a carefree and potentially damaged future.

"No, it's just that it feels like a dream." Xiao Yixuan never expected these important figures to feel indebted.

"Heh, people, after all, should maintain their kindness," Lin Hai ambiguously uttered a piece of wisdom. If Ouyang Xiaoya and the others heard this, they would be greatly surprised; even the dead Beast could speak such high and mighty preaching words.

"I'll go change my clothes, Brother Lin, please wait for a moment," Xiao Yixuan said.

Lin Hai nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Just dress as you are now, it looks good. Don't go for the 'fatty piggy' style anymore—it makes outsiders think you have no family upbringing."

Hearing Lin Hai's words, Xiao Yixuan's cheeks reddened slightly, and she obediently nodded. If Eldest Young Master liked to see her pure, then she would be pure, although she felt a bit uncomfortable with it.

Xiao Yixuan went in to change her clothes, intentionally leaving the door crack open, so the bedroom inside could be clearly seen from the living room.

Lin Hai was speechless about her behavior. He wasn't a starving wolf that indiscriminately chased food; did she really need to tempt him like that?

A few minutes later, Xiao Yixuan came out with a sullen face, clothes unchanged.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hai asked, puzzled.

"I, I don't have any pure-looking clothes, all of them are the 'fatty piggy' style..." Xiao Yixuan frowned in frustration, pouting her lips.

"Err..." Lin Hai was speechless; the life of the little gangster girl was too...

"Forget it, I'll go buy some with you," Lin Hai thought for a while, after all, he could get reimbursed from the company.

"How embarrassing that would be," the little gangster girl said coyly, but her eyes betrayed her eager desire to go shopping.

Lin Hai touched his nose and smiled, "It's fine, you keep calling me Crown Prince, it's making me feel bashful. Let's treat getting you some clothes as a meeting gift."

"Woo, are you agreeing to let me be your mistress?" Xiao Yixuan asked excitedly.

"Damn!" Lin Hai immediately broke out in a sweat, hastily explaining, "I'm just buying you a dress, don't get it wrong, I'm a married man, a gentleman."

"But, I'm positive I can do a better job than your wife..." Xiao Yixuan seemed eager to prove her value to Lin Hai, though her sense of value left much to be desired.

Lin Hai almost spat out blood in shock. If Ouyang Xiaoya knew someone claimed to do a "better job" than her, who knew what she would think.

"Stop talking, let's go buy some clothes."

...

Several minutes later, outside a Gloria branded women's clothing store.

"This... Gloria, oh my god, we're buying clothes here?" Xiao Yixuan asked excitedly.

"It's just a regular brand store; the clothes inside aren't expensive," Lin Hai said and then suddenly realized that the little gangster girl used to wear street-vendor clothes and came from a not so well-off family. He closed his mouth feeling embarrassed, and thought to buy her a few more pieces.
