"Hehe, another big bag of good stuff!" At this moment, Padofilis was squatting happily in a dark alley, clutching the rather thick-looking wallet tightly in her hand.

Bright sunlight struggled to penetrate the narrow alleyway, casting a few rays that fell precisely on her slightly mischievous face, making her sly smile exceptionally clear.

Padofilis cautiously turned her head, her large eyes darting around as she carefully surveyed her surroundings. Once she was sure it was safe, she confidently and slowly opened her wallet.

As the wallet was slowly opened, stacks of colorful banknotes were instantly revealed to Padofilis.

With excited blinking eyes, Padofilis quickly flipped through the banknotes, muttering to himself, "Not bad, not bad, so much money. Let's give some to the adults."

"As for the rest, I can use it to buy some urgently needed supplies for those little ones." Thinking of this, Padofilis couldn't help but grin, a silly smile unconsciously appearing at the corners of his mouth.

While happily fantasizing about how to distribute this windfall, he couldn't help but mutter to himself in self-admiration, "A righteous thief...hehe...I'm a thief who robs the rich to help the poor, a chivalrous thief..."

However, just as Padofilis was immersed in her beautiful fantasy, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"Yes, you're a great hero." This sudden voice was like a thunderclap, startling Padofilis so much that she almost dropped her wallet.

Startled, she turned around and immediately saw Chen Yuan's figure, which held a hint of mockery and amusement. She recognized him as Chen Yuan.

Padofilis's large eyes, which had been wide with fright, instantly lit up. She then jumped to her feet excitedly, her face beaming with delight, and exclaimed, "Lord Chenyuan, did you come to see me today for something?"

"Hmm, almost. I did come here today specifically to find you." Chen Yuan smiled, his gaze tenderly fixed on the adorable appearance of Padofilis before him, feeling his heart melt.

Then he stretched out his arms and hugged Padofilis tightly, and began to gently rub her fluffy little head with his hands.

"Hehehe, Lord Chenyuan, please be gentle, or you'll squash my little head!" Padofilis laughed crisply as she twisted her body, trying to break free from Chenyuan's embrace.

Her face was already flushed with a beautiful blush from shyness, as alluring as a ripe apple. Finally, when Chen Yuan released her hands, Padofilis quickly tidied her slightly disheveled hair.

Then, blinking her big, watery eyes, she asked curiously, "So, what is it that Lord Chenyuan specifically sought me out for today?"

Chen Yuan deliberately put on a stern face and said with a very serious expression, "Don't panic. I just want to see what you've done all day. Alright, quickly present all your achievements for me to review."

Upon hearing this, Padofilis hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and carefully handed the wallet in her hand to Chen Yuan, while muttering to herself with her head down.

"This is all my spoils for today, Lord Chenyuan. However... all this money was secretly stolen from those local thugs who do all sorts of evil."

Chen Yuan took the wallet and opened it. "My little hero, there's quite a lot of money in here!" After saying that, Chen Yuan returned the wallet to Padofilis. "So, do you have any specific plans for this money?"

Hearing Chen Yuan's praise, Padofilis smiled brightly. She pouted slightly, rested her chin on her hands, and struck a pose of deep thought.

After a while, he raised his head and said with a firm gaze, "Well... I plan to give a portion to you, Lord Chenyuan." He paused for a moment and then continued.

"As for the rest of the money, I want to use it to help those little ones. So they can have enough to eat and money to buy medicine and see a doctor when they're sick."

Chen Yuan listened quietly to Padofilis's words, a pang of heartache rising in his heart. This innocent little girl, even with her own advantages, still only thought of others.

"Didn't you ever think about using this money to buy yourself some new clothes or other things you like?"

Padofilis was taken aback at first, then shook his head and said with a smile, "Oh dear, Lord Chenyuan, those little ones need this money more than I do."

"Besides, my clothes are a bit old, but they're still wearable, so it's okay!" Hearing this, Chen Yuan sighed and slowly stood up. He stretched out his arms and gently hugged Padofilis.

"Eh... Lord Chenyuan?" The sudden feeling of weightlessness caused Padofilis to involuntarily let out a soft cry. Her face instantly turned bright red, and she lowered her head shyly.

She said in a low voice, "Um... Lord Chenyuan, please put me down quickly, my clothes are too dirty, they'll get you dirty..."

"What's dirty about it? Our little Padma is absolutely adorable!" Chen Yuan looked at Padma Philis with a smile, then gently extended a finger and playfully tapped her delicate little nose.

Padofilis blinked her large, bright eyes, a blush rising to her cheeks, and muttered softly, "Lord Chenyuan... you really don't need to do this..."

Although Padofilis said she refused, her voice trembled slightly, and a hint of expectation shone in the depths of her eyes.

"Oh dear, be a good girl and listen to me. You have to do everything I say today!" Chen Yuan coaxed Padofilis gently. Before he finished speaking, he strode towards the alley entrance.

No matter how much Padofilis struggled and resisted, Chenyuan held her tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

As they walked, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped, looked down at Padofilis in his arms, and asked, "By the way, little Padofilis, where is the place that sells clothes?"

At this moment, Padofilis seemed too shy to look up. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly extended a finger and pointed in a direction not far away.

Afterwards, she buried her little head deeply in Chenyuan's arms. From an outsider's perspective, the scene looked just like a father taking his beloved child out shopping.

Following the direction pointed out by Padofilis, you can see a shop with a prominent sign above it that reads "tailoring shop" in large English letters.

Several pieces of fabric hung in front of the shop, swaying gently in the wind, attracting the attention of passersby and making this small tailor shop stand out on the bustling street.

"This is it!" Chen Yuan said softly, then quickened his pace to the entrance of the tailor shop. Padofilis remained quietly in his arms. "Little Padofilis, what do you think?"

He looked up at the somewhat worn signboard above the shop, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. However, after only a moment, he nodded slightly.

Upon entering the store, the first thing that catches the eye is a variety of neatly stacked exquisite fabrics and several old-fashioned sewing machines arranged in an orderly manner.

At this moment, an elderly woman with gray hair but a sprightly spirit was focused on the unfinished clothing making work in her hands. Upon hearing someone enter the shop, she quickly stopped what she was doing and looked up at the door.

When he saw Chenyuan and Padofilis, a kind and friendly smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly went to greet them.

"Welcome to my humble shop, gentlemen. Is there anything I can do for you?" the old woman asked with a smile.

Chen Yuan first politely returned the old tailor's smile, then gently lifted Padofilis aside and placed her down, before turning to the old tailor and speaking.

"Could you please take this young lady's measurements first, and then make two new sets of clothes for me?"

"One set will be made into a princess dress style, while the other set will be designed as a more casual and comfortable outfit."

“Yes, sir, I understand your needs,” the old tailor said with a smile, as she slowly shifted her kind gaze to Padofilis.

“Miss… Hmm? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before, a strange sense of familiarity is welling up inside me.” The old tailor murmured softly, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he was trying hard to recall something.

Upon hearing the old woman's words, Padofilis's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly became flustered and at a loss.

She quickly waved her hand and stammered, "No...it's nothing, Grandma, you must have mistaken me for someone else!" However, her slightly trembling voice betrayed her true feelings.

"Aren't we going to measure your figure? I'm all ready, we can start anytime..." Padofilis said, trying to sound calm, while quickly changing the subject.

But just then, before she could finish speaking, the old woman suddenly clapped her hands excitedly, "Oh~ I remember now!" Then, the old woman quickly walked to the display case next to her and took out an exquisite dress.

"Young lady, do you often come to our shop and stare at this beautiful dress?" the old woman asked, holding the dress and smiling at Padofilis.
