Chapter 131
Zhi Yao immediately realized she had caused trouble. She hurriedly reached out to check Pei Chiyao's chin, but as she tried to climb out of his embrace, the armrest got in the way, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight towards Pei Chiyao.
"Ah!"
Zhi Yao was kneeling on the chair at the moment, so she was slightly taller than Pei Chiyao.
Yet she didn't expect...this pose to be so weirdly awkward.
Her two soft mounds ended up brushing against Pei Chiyao's face in an unlucky accident.
That touch softer than cotton instantly grazed Pei Chiyao's face.
Zhi Yao: "......"
She was utterly mortified.
Pei Chiyao couldn't help but laugh lightly, "Baby, this consolation method is quite nice. I don't feel pain anymore."
Zhi Yao: "......"
Please stop talking!
[The shy vixen went into self-isolation mode].
The young lady quickly sat back in her seat, hugging her legs and facing the car door in deep reflection.
Could she still claim it wasn't intentional?!!!
"Alright." Pei Chiyao reached out and ruffled the vixen's head. "Let's talk business."
Business?
Zhi Yao glanced at Pei Chiyao quickly. Today, he didn't seem to have...
That thought hadn't even finished before Pei Chiyao caught on swiftly.
"Yao Yao, don't tell me...you were expecting something?"
Zhi Yao shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum, "No, no, really not at all."
She just didn't know why Pei Chiyao seemed to have turned over a new leaf today.
She was afraid of provoking Pei Chiyao's wolfish desires, so the young lady quickly changed the topic: "Pei Chiyao, what did you just say? Someone is actually willing to cast me in a production?"
"Yes." Pei Chiyao nodded. "Why wouldn't anyone cast you? Yao Yao, you're already famous."
Zhi Yao doesn't go online much, so she didn't know she was already wildly popular on the internet.
Originally, because of Pei Chiyao's involvement, 'Legend of the Fox Demon' had already become a huge hit even before its release.
Now, after its premiere and Pei Chiyao officially announcing their relationship, coupled with the show's high production values and the trendy sweet romantic plot, it was impossible for it not to be a smash hit.
Zhi Yao hadn't been on Weibo for a while, unaware that her follower count had already surpassed ten million.
The young lady's golden eyes sparkled brightly, "Pei Chiyao, does acting mean I can earn money?"
She suddenly remembered what Sister Su had mentioned before, but she didn't really understand the concept of money.
Zhi Yao wanted to earn money to buy gifts for Mother and Pei Chiyao!
As well as her brothers!
"Yes." Pei Chiyao glanced at Zhi Yao. "What do you need money for?"
Previously, Pei Chiyao had deposited Zhi Yao's earnings from 'Legend of the Fox Demon' into a bank account for her. He also transferred one million into that account every month, to serve as Zhi Yao's personal piggy bank and allowance for when she needed to spend money.
However, the young lady was trying to surprise Pei Chiyao, so she kept her mouth shut and only said: "I'm just asking, because...if I have money, I can buy lots and lots of yummy food!"
This response was quite in line with her usual behavior, so Pei Chiyao didn't press further.
"Yao Yao, forget about earning money for now. Let me ask you one question - do you still want to act?"
He actually didn't approve of Zhi Yao entering the entertainment industry because once in it, she would frequently get embroiled in all sorts of gossip and controversies - something she had already experienced more than once.
To be honest, Pei Chiyao was quite sick of it, let alone Zhi Yao.
Forgetting about earning money...
Zhi Yao pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Yes! I think acting is really fun, and a lot of people will like me too!"
This was Zhi Yao's original thought when she first entered the entertainment industry, and it hadn't changed until now.
Pei Chiyao gently patted Zhi Yao's head. "Our Yao Yao is already the most likable little vixen. A lot of people already adore you."
Zhi Yao's eyes brightened, as if she had heard Pei Chiyao's implied meaning. "But, Pei Chiyao, I know everyone thinks I'm not worthy of you."
Even the dumbest, most naive little vixen could read words.
She didn't go online much, but sometimes she would accidentally come across some comments and remarks.
Pei Chiyao was stunned.
He would have never imagined hearing these words from Zhi Yao's mouth one day. Immediately, Pei Chiyao's expression changed. "Yao Yao, did someone say something to you? Or did you see something?"
Zhi Yao shook her head, then nodded again. She originally didn't want to tell Pei Chiyao about this.
Ever since they went public that day, Zhi Yao's private messages had been flooded by Pei Chiyao's fans.
But even if she didn't say it, Pei Chiyao could more or less guess.
In the entertainment circle, many male celebrities would face a massive wave of so-called "girlfriend fans" unfollowing and backbiting when they started dating.
Even though Pei Chiyao's popularity didn't rely on "girlfriend fans", a small portion of irrational fans would still inevitably go out of their way to hurt Zhi Yao.
This was one of the reasons why Pei Chiyao wanted to retire from the industry as soon as possible.
He couldn't bear for his little lady to be scolded by anyone.
Especially because of him.
"Pei Chiyao, you're right." Zhi Yao leaned against him dejectedly. "I'm not a little vixen anymore. I need to learn how to be a person, to grow up. I can't always rely on you. But..."
She deliberately dragged out her tone, then raised her head to look at Pei Chiyao with a charming, innocent smile. "I would never think I'm unworthy of you. I'm so beautiful, I don't believe anyone could be more suited for you than me."
Her words gently dispelled some of the gloom that had just formed in Pei Chiyao's heart.
He was truly afraid that Zhi Yao would leave him or be unwilling to stay with him because of these rumors...
If anything like that really happened... he would rather have Zhi Yao remain a little vixen forever, as long as she could always stay by his side.
"Pei Chiyao, I will continue acting! I want everyone to know that only you are unworthy of me, not the other way around!" She couldn't let Mother down!
Pei Chiyao hugged the soft young lady in his embrace and kissed her cheek. "I truly am unworthy of our Yao Yao, so...will our Yao Yao be kind enough to pity me and stay with me forever?"
Zhi Yao nodded. "Then I'll reluctantly keep you company!"
Pei Chiyao laughed.
Zhi Yao recalled the words Pei Chiyao had said to her earlier, then she grabbed his tie again and said, "You're not allowed to quit either! You have to stay with me."
Pei Chiyao did not immediately agree, "Baby, I'm still considering this matter. But no matter what, I'll be by your side."
Regarding this issue, Pei Chiyao had already figured out Zhi Yao's thoughts, which was enough for him.
He would make his little darling the brightest star in the entire entertainment industry.
