As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

Faced with the old woman's direct question and the curious gaze from Chen Yuan beside her, Padofilis immediately felt her cheeks burning, as if two flames were burning inside.

She then lowered her head shyly, not daring to look anyone in the eye, and kept gently tapping the ground with her toes. After a while, Padofilis finally mustered up her courage and responded in a soft, mosquito-like voice, "Um...no...that's right, it's me."

"Oh, is that so... Old lady, could you please bring that dress over so I can take a look?" Seeing Padofilis's expression, Chen Yuan then waved to the old woman.

Upon hearing this, the old woman's face quickly lit up with a kind smile, and she replied softly, "Of course, no problem, sir." With that, she walked steadily to Chen Yuan and handed it over.

"This princess dress is specially prepared by our shop for a lovely and charming little girl like your child!" The old tailor introduced with a smile, while also admiringly looking at Padofilis in front of him.

Chen Yuan nodded with a smile, indicating his agreement with the old woman's statement, and then reached out to take the dress. He examined it carefully from front to back for a while.

Then she gently stroked the fabric of the skirt with her hands, feeling its delicate and soft texture and exquisite workmanship.

After confirming that everything was correct, she handed the beautiful dress to Padofilis with a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Come on, little Padofilis, take a look and see if you like it?"

Hearing Chen Yuan's gentle words, Padofilis shyly reached out her hands and slowly accepted the dress she had longed for.

The moment her fingertips touched the dress, a jolt of electricity seemed to run through her body, causing her to tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, her rosy cheeks turned bright red, like ripe apples, and even the roots of her ears were tinged with an alluring blush.

At this moment, Padofilis was overjoyed, but dared not show it too obviously. She could only carefully stroke every inch of the dress, her eyes revealing an undisguised fondness.

However, this longing vanished in an instant, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, and she forcibly suppressed it deep within her heart.

“This…this is truly beautiful, Lord Chenyuan…” Padofilis stared wide-eyed at the magnificent dress before her, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

After hesitating for a long time, she slowly stretched out her hands and carefully unfolded her skirt, a slightly shy and embarrassed smile immediately appearing on her face.

“However, Lord Chenyuan, although this dress is indeed very beautiful, I feel that it doesn’t quite suit me.” As Padofilis spoke, she lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the ground beneath her feet, seemingly unable to meet Chenyuan’s eyes.

Upon hearing Padofilis's words, Chen Yuan asked, "Why do you have such thoughts?" As he spoke, the corners of Chen Yuan's mouth turned up slightly, forming a faint smile.

Padofilis kept her head down, silently gazing at the dazzling dress in her hands, and after a long silence, she spoke softly.

"Look, this dress is so beautiful. The embroidery and the sequin embellishments make it look very elegant. And I'm just an ordinary girl..."

However, Chen Yuan chuckled lightly, unperturbed, and gently stroked Padofilis's little head, comforting her.

"Silly girl, how can you think like that? It's not like that at all. In my eyes, you are the cutest girl in the world."

"No one is more suited to this dress than you. Trust me, once you put it on, you will definitely become the center of attention."

“But…” Despite Chen Yuan’s sincere words, Padofilis was clearly still hesitant. She raised her head, gazing at Chen Yuan with her large, watery eyes, her lips parting slightly as if she wanted to say something more.

But in the end, he swallowed his words back. After a moment, as if he had finally made up his mind, he nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since you've said so, Lord Chenyuan, then... then please trouble that old woman to help me measure my figure."

“Alright, young lady.” Upon hearing this, the old woman deftly took out a delicate ruler from the drawer of the table next to her, and then slowly walked up to Padofilis.

The former gently raised his hand and carefully placed the ruler on Padofilis's shoulder, then began to measure her slender arms, graceful waist, and legs.

Padofilis appeared extremely nervous at this moment, unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt, her hands trembling slightly. Her large, bright eyes were fixed intently on the old tailor's fingers.

Time ticked by, and finally, the old woman finished taking all the measurements. Nodding in satisfaction, she smiled and said to Padofilis, "Hmm, it seems that even in my old age, my eye for detail is still as good as ever!"

"Don't worry, young lady. With my years of experience and exquisite craftsmanship, I will definitely make you the perfect dress," the old woman confidently promised Patofilis.

Upon hearing these words, Padofilis felt an indescribable joy welling up inside her. A faint blush instantly spread across her originally fair cheeks.

After all, what young girl in the prime of her life wouldn't love pretty clothes? It's just that for a child like Padolilis, who comes from a poor background.

Wearing such exquisite clothing is simply an unattainable dream. On ordinary days, even just catching a glimpse of those gorgeous clothes from afar is considered a luxury.

However, at this moment, seeing her long-cherished wish about to become a reality, Padofilis even felt as if she were in a beautiful dream, where everything seemed so illusory and wonderful.

Meanwhile, the old tailor neatly folded the measurements he had just recorded and put them into a drawer. Then he said softly, "This little girl is so lovely."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, his gaze then gently falling on Padofilis, as if he could already imagine her charming and beautiful appearance in her new clothes.

Then, turning to the old tailor, she added, "Oh, by the way, madam, regarding this casual outfit, please try to design it to be as relaxed as possible so that it can be easily paired with other clothes."

Upon hearing this, the old woman nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Don't worry! Leave it to this old woman, I definitely won't let you down. I will prepare two beautiful outfits for this lovely little girl."

After saying that, she turned around and walked unsteadily toward the shelf displaying various fabrics, muttering to herself, "Well... first of all, I naturally have to choose some suitable fabrics."

"Little Padma, after this dress is finished, I'll take you out for some fun. What do you think?" Chen Yuan watched the old woman's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

He then slowly crouched down, gazing tenderly at Padophilia before him. Upon hearing this, Padophilia abruptly raised her head, her large eyes instantly lighting up.

"Really...really?" she asked incredulously, her voice filled with barely suppressed surprise and anticipation.

Before this, all Padofilis could do was idly while away the long hours in the narrow alleys.

Seeing Little Paddy's excited expression, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, then nodded gently in affirmation. This child had endured so much hardship and suffering since birth; now it was time for her to taste the sweetness of life.

Just then, the old woman hurried over, carrying several pieces of fabric of different colors and materials. She then enthusiastically showed them to Chenyuan and Padofilis.

"Hey guests, come take a look! I've carefully selected several different styles and textures of fabric. Do you like them?" As she spoke, she displayed the colorful fabrics in her hands to them one by one.

Chen Yuan and Padofilis leaned closer to examine the fabrics closely. Padofilis gently stroked a piece of pink silk with her fingers, a hint of fondness on her face.

"This one is so beautiful!" she said, unconsciously biting her lower lip, clearly very fond of it. "I think it suits you quite well too," Chen Yuan agreed. "Then let's choose this one."

The old woman nodded in agreement and then invited Padophilia to choose fabric for her casual wear. Looking at the pile of fabrics in various colors, Padophilia finally made her choice.

She chose a piece of light blue cotton cloth, simple yet very clean. The two garments were quickly settled under the old woman's arrangement. "Thank you, old woman, I'm really looking forward to these two clothes!" Padofilis said excitedly.

"Haha, this is a happy thing for me too." The old woman smiled kindly, busy noting down the details, and then asked, "Young lady, when do you plan to come and pick it up?"

"In the next couple of days! I want to see her in her new clothes as soon as possible." Chen Yuan looked at the little girl's joyful expression, his heart filled with satisfaction. "Do I need to pay a deposit?"

"According to tradition, we need to collect a deposit here," the old woman said apologetically. "Of course, that's no problem for me," Chen Yuan nodded understandingly.

Chen Yuan is not short of money now. After dealing with those thugs that night, Chen Yuan casually took all their wallets. He originally intended to give them to Xiao Paduo, but then forgot about them.
