Lin Fan's jaws just dropped down.
But before he could even say anything, Angela suddenly burst out in laughter.
She had been confused why the maids had been acting that way as well, but she had just put it all together.
Lin Fan came back to his senses when he heard Angela's wild laughter and he quickly glared at her.
She covered her mouth and tried to hold in her laughter, but she really couldn't do it. She broke out in laughter from time to time, trying her best to hold it in.

The little girl wouldn't look up as she said with her head in the pillow, "That's what I heard from the other girls, they said that there were nobles that had this kind of hobby. Sometimes they even took a few of the younger boys with them."
Lin Fan couldn't stop three black lines from appearing on his forehead.
He had saved this little girl out of kindness and now it was being mistaken as a hobby of bad tastes.
Back on earth, when he had been part of the upper stratum, he had seen this kind of thing happen.
There were even some people who had hobbies that were much more disgusting than this. However, whenever those people had offered Lin Fan the opportunity to join them, he had always declined.
Even with how bad he had acted in his previous life, he wasn't someone with these kinds of hobbies.
Angela once again couldn't take it anymore and broke out in laughter again. She couldn't help teasing him, "I promise I won't be jealous."
Lin Fan glared her down until she stopped laughing before talking to the little girl again, "I don't have those kinds of hobbies, I saved you for another reason."
The little girl raised her head with a confused look when she heard this, "Sir, I have nothing valuable, what reason could there be for you to save me?"
Lin Fan tried to act calm as he said, "I heard what those ruffians said. I was the one who gave you the crystal yesterday, so to a certain extent, what happened to you was my fault. That is why I saved you."
The little girl quickly came off the bed and shook her hands as she said, "No, no, sir, this is definitely not your fault. You paid for me to guide you and once I finished, none of this was related to you. This was merely payment in exchange for service."
Lin Fan came forward and stopped her from panicking by grabbing her head, "No, it was my fault. I was the one who gave you the crystal and that's why you were attacked."
When the little girl was about to panic again, Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand and asked, "What was your name again?"
The little girl was taken aback by this and just replied in a stunned voice, "Song Shu, they call me that because I look like a squirrel when I eat."
Now that this little girl had come out, Lin Fan finally got a good look at her. She really was something to look at once she was cleaned up.
While her body wasn't as developed in certain places, there were bumps that had begun to form. The most dazzling thing about her was her pure white skin that seemed like it was made of snow. It gave her an angelic feeling that could even match Angela's beauty.
He really had to praise the maids for their choice of clothing, the sundress gave her a youthful and vibrant look, even though there were still quite a few bruises on her.
Lin Fan then asked, "Other than guiding people around, what else do you do to make money?"
Song Shu lowered her head and muttered, "I tried to pickpocket someone once, but I was caught immediately and beaten up. After that, I only guided people around the city…"
Lin Fan stroked his chin as he fell into thought for a bit before saying, "Then how about you come working for me?"
Song Shu was stunned once again, "Sir, I'm just a lowly orphan, I don't even know how to count. How can I work for a noble like you?"
Lin Fan just waved his hand at this, "It's fine, the job is easy and you can learn how to count while doing the job. I'll even pay you one crystal a day."
While he had been stroking his chin and thinking, he had also been conversing with the system.
Lin Fan had asked, "System, do I need to upgrade the shop to hire new employees?"
"Host, you only need to upgrade the shop for employees that require contracts. Employees from this lower world do not need a contract to bind them to the store, so you can freely hire employees."
Song Shu was completely shocked.
What kind of a job was this that even earned her one crystal a day?
She hesitated a bit before asking, "Sir, are there any special requirements for this job?"
Lin Fan had black lines appear on his head again when he heard the implied tone in these words. Angela also broke out in laughter when she heard this, but this time she covered her mouth so she wouldn't make too much noise.
Lin Fan just said, "I own a pet shop, so I want to hire you to run the register and stock the shelves. It's a simple job, but my shop's prices are higher than normal, so that's why the wages are higher."
When she heard this, Song Shu's hesitant look relaxed a bit, but there was still a bit of hesitation.
Lin Fan saw this and asked, "What are you thinking about? Is there something that you're still not satisfied with?"
Song Shu quickly shook her hands as she said, "No, no, this is like a dream job for me, but…"
Lin Fan asked, "But what?"
Song Shu bit her lip for a bit before saying, "I also have some siblings who are still on the street, I can't just abandon them."
Lin Fan asked, "Siblings? Aren't you an orphan?"
Song Shu explained, "Life is hard on the streets, so we orphans gather together to make families. My family is made up of me, my two little sisters, and our big brother."
Lin Fan looked over her for a bit which made Song Shu lower her head, but then he said, "Alright, I'll get Angela to send you back tomorrow and you can pick up your siblings. I'll also offer them a job since they are your siblings. I'm sure they'll be like you."
Song Shu was still a bit hesitant as she said, "Stay here? But I need to go back or they will worry about me."
But Lin Fan wouldn't budge on this, "You're staying here tonight, who knows if something will happen to you with your injuries if you stay on the street tonight. Tell me where your siblings are and I'll get someone to go over there to bring a message. Once they are there, you can just talk to them through the communicator."
Seeing that Lin Fan was this adamant, Song Shu had no choice but to agree.
Once that was taken care of, Lin Fan went off to find someone to find Song Shu's siblings.
After around half an hour later, there was a call that came in on his wrist watch and when it connected, three dirty looking kids appeared on the screen.
The oldest one immediately revealed a tough look when he saw Song Shu, "Song Shu, if someone is holding you hostage, just tell us and we'll come get you right away."
While the two little girls looked a bit afraid, they also had a bit of determination in their eyes.
Song Shu immediately said, "No, no, this mister saved me when I was being beaten by the Urchins, he's a good person."
Seeing that Song Shu had an honest look on her face, the vigilance in the look of these children disappeared, but they still looked worried.
Lin Fan was happy when he saw this, it seemed like he had found a good bunch of kids.
Once they were done questioning Song Shu, Lin Fan cut in, "I'll get her to come pick you all up tomorrow. I'm sure you won't come tonight since it means coming with a total stranger."
The oldest one nodded before saying, "If I find out you've done anything to her, I won't let you off."
Why did everyone think he was a lolicon? Was there something wrong with his face?
After letting Song Shu say goodbye, he cut off the call.
He turned to her and said, "Alright, it's time for bed."
When she heard this, Song Shu jumped up with a bit of fright, but she still nodded.
Lin Fan turned to Angela and said, "You can sleep with her tonight." There was a special meaning in his voice.
She nodded when she heard this.
She pulled the little girl into the bed and cuddled up with her. Angela was someone who liked cute things and this little girl was just right for her.
As for Lin Fan, he went over to the couch on the side and laid down there.
In the morning, the first sound that came with the rising sun was, "Uncle, is my pet ready yet?"
But when Mu Xiao Hai opened the door, he was shocked by the scene inside.
