Chapter 134
Zhi Yao stared in shock as Ling Jue climbed up from the ground. He didn't even open his eyes, yet walked effortlessly towards the door.
"Get back here." Watching Ling Jue's actions, Zhi Yi was utterly speechless.
As the words fell, Ling Jue turned around and came back.
This time, Zhi Yao clearly saw that his eyes were slightly open as he looked at Zhi Yi and asked, "Ah Yi, if you don't want to drink water, do you need to use the restroom? I can carry you there."
As he said this, Ling Jue became fully awake.
His originally slightly dazed and sleepy green eyes suddenly lit up the moment he approached Zhi Yi.
Just as his arms were about to touch Zhi Yi, "slap", Zhi Yi fiercely struck his arm.
The sound made Zhi Yao wince, feeling the pain.
But upon closer inspection, there was not a single red or swollen mark on Ling Jue's arm.
If that slap had hit Zhi Yao's hand, it would have swollen up instantly.
"Don't touch me," Zhi Yi glared at Ling Jue. "Did you hear what Yao Yao said earlier?"
Ling Jue was stunned for two seconds before finally realizing that the conversation he heard while asleep was not a dream.
It was only then that he noticed the other person beside Zhi Yi—Zhi Yao.
"Yao Yao, good morning!"
Zhi Yao stared blankly at this man, who seemed foolish, not like a wolf at all, but rather... a dog.
"Enough nonsense," Zhi Yi glared at Ling Jue. "Yao Yao said Ling Er is in danger, go check on him. And Pei Chiyao too, if anything happens to these two kids, I think you'll be to blame!"
Zhi Yi's tone was icy cold, chilling Zhi Yao to the bone. Yet Ling Jue didn't seem the least bit affected or struck by her tone. He quickly got dressed, "Okay, I'll go now."
Zhi Yao watched in disbelief. Just like that? No questions asked? No hesitation?
Evidently, Zhi Yi was used to this.
Ling Jue never questioned Zhi Yi's demands. To him, Zhi Yi's words were above all else, her words were commands.
Before, he only listened to Zhi Yi. Now, he had added Zhi Yao to that list.
"Mother, he... he just listens to your words like that?"
Zhi Yi watched as Ling Jue's figure disappeared, deep in thought for a while before answering, "Yes."
Actually, Ling Jue used to disobey her words too. As the Wolf King, he was used to having his own way and doing as he pleased.
When they first met, she didn't know his identity, but Ling Jue knew hers.
Until... everything could no longer be hidden, he took her back to the wolf den, almost like imprisonment.
It was around that time that Zhi Yi became pregnant...
Zhi Yi closed her eyes.
Later, she tried hard to take Zhi Yao back to the Fox Clan, but due to some accidents, she was captured by him again.
From then on, Ling Jue seemed to change into a different person.
From his former stubbornness, brutality, oppressiveness, and unreasonableness, he transformed into his current self.
One could say he became utterly obedient.
If Zhi Yi told Ling Jue to die, perhaps Ling Jue would do it without blinking an eye.
"Do you want to sleep a bit more? Yao Yao?" Zhi Yi gently stroked Zhi Yao's head. "Your father has gone, so you can rest easy."
In this world, perhaps no one had been born yet who could kill Ling Jue.
Although Zhi Yi's feelings towards Ling Jue were complex, she had to admit that Ling Jue was indeed an exceptionally powerful being.
Zhi Yao wasn't sleepy. Just as she was about to speak, it was as if she suddenly remembered something and abruptly sat up from Zhi Yi's embrace. "No, I can't. Mother, I have to go with him!"
With that, Zhi Yao ran off, ignoring Zhi Yi's persuasions.
Fortunately, Ling Jue hadn't left yet. He was checking Ling Er's location.
And at that moment, Ling Er's location... was at the airport.
"That... Ah... Ah..."
Zhi Yao struggled for a while but couldn't get the words "Ah Dad" out.
At that time, Ling Si was having breakfast. Seeing Zhi Yao's hesitant expression, he frowned and said, "What's wrong, Yao Yao? Can't you sneeze?"
Zhi Yao: "..." It's you who can't sneeze!
But Ling Jue immediately understood Zhi Yao's awkwardness. He smiled warmly at her and softened his tone, "Yao Yao, what's wrong? Don't you want to sleep with your mother a little longer?"
Zhi Yao shook her head. "I... can I go with you?"
Zhi Yao was very nervous. Usually in such situations, she would be dismissed as useless and not allowed to come along.
The young girl had steeled herself to persuade Ling Jue.
But to her surprise, Ling Jue readily agreed!
"Sure, but before that, you need to change your clothes first. And eat your breakfast too. That's my only request."
It was snowing outside, and very cold.
"Ah?" Zhi Yao was stunned, not immediately reacting.
Ling Jue glanced at his watch. "It takes about half an hour to get from home to the airport. Go change your clothes now, and you can eat breakfast on the way. It won't delay us."
"Oh, oh..." Zhi Yao finally realized that Ling Jue had agreed!
She quickly went upstairs to change.
Watching their enigmatic exchange, Ling Si felt confused. "Where are you guys going to play? I want to go too."
Yeah right, in your dreams.
The gentle expression on Ling Jue's face hardened after watching Zhi Yao disappear around the corner of the stairs.
He glared fiercely at Ling Si. "Go where? Eat your breakfast."
Today, he absolutely wouldn't let this little brat steal his spotlight!
No, he wouldn't let anyone steal his spotlight!
Including Pei Chiyao and Ling Er.
No matter what happened, today, he would become the strongest father in his daughter's eyes!
Ling Jue's mind was racing with calculations. Soon, Zhi Yao came back down after changing. By then, Ling Jue had also packed Zhi Yao's breakfast and handed it to the young girl.
Before going out, he had put a hat on the young lady's head, "Let's go."
The car drove at a rapid pace.
This was the first time Zhi Yao had been alone with Ling Jue for such a long time.
During the half-hour drive, Zhi Yao was so nervous that she didn't utter a single word.
Perhaps sensing the strange atmosphere in the car, Zhi Yao finally thought of a topic and spoke up, "Um... Is it really okay for just the two of us to go?"
It wasn't fear that Zhi Yao felt, she was well aware of her own abilities, but rather a concern that she might hold them back.
