Lin Fan hung out in the marketing department for a while and casually bragged with a few old acquaintances.

Although he’s number one in the marketing department, he hasn’t had much work to do since his few busy days after returning to the country; he’s mostly been idle.

As it was nearing noon, Lin Fan finally got the car keys from Nalan Suqin and headed to Coastal First Grade!

Parking the car in the Coastal First Grade lot, Lin Fan gazed at the luxury building in front of him, feeling a surge of emotions!

He remembers his first time coming here vividly, it was also his first comeback confrontation, facing off against Zheng Weilan.

And now, Zheng Weilan died for Zheng Yunlong, who also perished at Lin Fan’s hands.

He also recalls meeting Ye Fei’Er here for the first time, giving her the nickname "Big White Legs," and accusing her Rafael of being fake, which really riled her up.

And now, half a year later, Ye Fei’Er has become his woman!

"I wonder if that girl is getting used to life in the army, I should find time to visit Yanjing, and maybe check in on those old folks!"

After considering for a while, Lin Fan entered the Coastal First Grade lobby, and upon entering, he ran into Manager Huang, who took over Ye Fei’Er’s position.

"Mr. Lin," Manager Huang immediately approached Lin Fan with a courteous smile.

"Manager Huang, Happy New Year!" Lin Fan greeted with a smile.

"Happy New Year to you as well, Mr. Lin. What’s brought you here this time?" Manager Huang asked curiously.

"I’ve come to meet a friend Miss Nalan Suqin sent over last night." Lin Fan replied.

"Would you like me to accompany you?" Manager Huang offered courteously.

"No need, I can find my way on my own, no trouble for Manager Huang."

After a smile, Lin Fan headed toward the elevators!

Manager Huang couldn’t help but tightly furrow his brows as he watched Lin Fan’s back, having personally seen Miss Xiang’Er last night.

Her beauty aside, just her long legs were enough to captivate countless men.

"This guy... how many women is he involved with? I really worry about Miss Ye." Manager Huang shook his head and sighed helplessly.

...

By this time, Lin Fan had arrived on the ninth floor, found room 999, and went to knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Who is it?"

Soon, a cautious voice came from inside.

"It’s me, Lin Fan!" Lin Fan replied with a smile.

Shortly, with a soft "click," Xiang’Er opened the door, her captivating face immediately appearing before Lin Fan!

"Beautiful!"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but appreciate inwardly.

"Why are you here?" Xiang’Er asked, puzzled.

"Your master entrusted you to me, so naturally, I have to make sure you’re safe and well taken care of."

Lin Fan smiled as he walked inside, taking a look around the room; though it wasn’t a presidential suite, it was still a luxurious room.

At the table by the window lay the ancestral notebook of Master Wolong and Xiang’Er’s translation book, indicating she was busy reading!

"Are you comfortable here?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.

"It’s fine! Conditions are much better than in the mountains!" Xiang’Er admitted truthfully.

"Of course, this is a five-star hotel!" Lin Fan laughed. "It’s almost lunchtime, you probably haven’t eaten yet. I’ll take you out for lunch. What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat... big pot corn porridge!" Xiang’Er thought for a moment before answering.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan rolled his eyes. The so-called big pot corn porridge is cooked in a large pot with firewood.

"Uh... There is corn porridge here, but mostly as breakfast, and not in big pots; that’s been phased out here." Lin Fan said helplessly.

"Well... What else is there to eat?" Xiang’Er blinked her big watery eyes, like an innocent little girl.

"Alright! Since that’s the case, let me take you out to eat and you should tidy up!" Lin Fan said.

"Okay!"

Xiang’Er nodded, immediately packed away the notebook and books, and stood in front of Lin Fan.

"You’re ready?" Lin Fan looked at Xiang’Er’s rustic, rural attire, stunned.

"Yes! What’s wrong? I look clean, don’t I?" Xiang’Er looked down, inspecting her clothes to find them clean as she had just changed them before leaving.

Lin Fan patted his forehead, frustrated. "I mean, sister, dressed like this outside, people will think you’re filming a movie! Alright then, follow me; I’ll get you some new clothes!"

"But... I don’t have money!" Xiang’Er pouted with a troubled expression.

"Don’t worry, I’ll pay for it. Come along!" Lin Fan said, turning to head out.

At this moment, watching Lin Fan’s back, Xiang’Er suddenly felt... this guy isn’t so annoying after all, just a bit of a loudmouth!

Soon after, Lin Fan and Xiang’Er went downstairs together, and as expected, Xiang’Er’s rustic attire attracted a lot of attention. After all, this was a five-star hotel, where only the wealthy stayed, and without Lin Fan by her side, security would have probably thrown Xiang’Er out!

After leaving Coastal First Grade, Lin Fan drove Xiang’Er to East Sea’s largest mall.

Clearly, Xiang’Er’s appearance continued to draw much attention; her attire... was overly rustic!

"Do you have any favorite brands?" Lin Fan asked.

"I’m not too sure, but I’ve heard Dior and Chanel are pretty good." Xiang’Er replied cautiously, worried about saying the wrong thing.

Lin Fan rolled his eyes helplessly; this chick isn’t dumb, she knows Dior and Chanel are good!

Lin Fan had to take Xiang’Er to the Dior boutique.

"Sir, Miss, welcome to..."

The store clerk smiled as she approached, but upon seeing Xiang’Er’s rustic attire, and Lin Fan’s equally ordinary outfit, the "shop" she was about to say was swallowed back bitterly.

Immediately, the clerk’s smile vanished, and her attitude became unpleasant.

Most of those coming to shop at Dior were wealthy young ladies or heirs, and upon seeing Lin Fan and Xiang’Er’s attire, she immediately classified them as "beggars!"

This term "beggar" does not refer to street beggars, but rather refers to people who can’t afford the clothes, and only come to luxurious stores to have a look, touch, or take pictures to show off!

"Sorry, our store doesn’t allow idlers, you should check out street-side goods, don’t dirty our floors!"

The store clerk has seen a lot of rich people here, naturally looking down on Lin Fan and Xiang’Er, her attitude was very proud!

"Really arrogant!" Lin Fan narrowed his eyes!
