Chapter 147
"Never say that she can turn into a human, never say it!" Zhi Yao prayed frantically in her heart. Halfway through her prayer, the little girl remembered that Anthony could read minds, and abruptly stopped.
Unexpectedly, this action made Anthony burst out laughing. "How adorable."
Zhi Yao glared at him.
This man is so infuriating!
He Kaiting really disliked the way this lecherous fox spirit seduced men. Unable to hold back, she shot her a fierce glare, then said to Anthony, "Let's go. Since Pei Chiyao doesn't want to see you, then forget it."
As for this lecherous fox spirit, she believed it wouldn't be long before Pei Chiyao abandoned her. Hmph!
From start to finish, Anthony only had a faint smile on his face. He Kaiting had stormed off in a huff, but Anthony turned around and said to Zhi Yao once more, "Miss Zhi Yao, if you need anything, feel free to come find me. This is my card."
With that, he handed his card to Zhi Yao.
Zhi Yao was in her little fox form and couldn't take the card, so Anthony simply placed it on the ground. The little girl stared at it and froze in shock.
It had a row of strange, squiggly characters that she couldn't recognize at all. They looked like tadpoles.
Zhi Yao remained motionless for a long while before finally realizing—she had come to find Pei Chiyao!
The little one grabbed the card in her mouth and scurried towards the door they had come through.
The door had opened a crack, and Zhi Yao squeezed through the gap. As soon as her head poked through, she froze again.
She... she couldn't move!
Was she stuck?!
Oh no!
The little one strained forward with all her might, but the door didn't budge an inch.
It was a heavy red sandalwood door. Even if Zhi Yao used all her strength, she couldn't budge it at all.
The little one was on the verge of tears. If Pei Chiyao saw her like this, wouldn't he laugh her to death?
But Zhi Yao didn't expect that sometimes, what you fear most comes true.
Pei Chiyao had just finished a meeting and returned when he saw a snowy white ball of fluff. Half its body and a fluffy tail were sticking out, its hind legs kicking and struggling, with faint whimpers.
"Heh..." Pei Chiyao couldn't help but chuckle.
He reached out and pushed open the heavy door. Zhi Yao was in the midst of struggling when the door suddenly opened, causing the little fox to tumble out headfirst, landing upside down with her tail and hind legs sticking straight up in the air.
It was such a silly, adorable sight that Pei Chiyao's heart melted.
He bent down and scooped Zhi Yao up, cradling her in his arms. He stroked her chin soothingly with his long fingers, as if comforting her.
Right now, the little fox was completely dazed, the card she had been holding in her mouth dropped somewhere unknown.
"You silly thing, you really can't bear to be apart from me?"
He had only left home for three hours, yet Zhi Yao was already so impatient to find him?
Silly Zhi Yao didn't know that Pei Chiyao had done it on purpose.
He had deliberately let slip his office address to Zhi Yao, to see if she would come looking for him.
He had bribed the Ling Family's driver to report Zhi Yao's movements to him if she went out.
He just didn't expect that Zhi Yao had been out for so long, and only came looking for him at his office now.
Of course, Zhi Yao was oblivious to all this.
She glared at Pei Chiyao, and that glare made Pei Chiyao look so innocent. "Darling, why are you glaring at me? I haven't done anything wrong."
"Hmph."
Zhi Yao let out a light huff. Pei Chiyao savored the extremely soft sensation under his fingertips, wishing he could hold and ravish the little fox.
But what Pei Chiyao didn't expect was...
As he leaned closer, he caught a whiff of a scent on Zhi Yao that didn't belong to her.
For some reason, that scent seemed... somewhat familiar?!
The man's previously pleasant expression instantly darkened.
"Zhi Yao, who did you see just now?"
Who did she see? Pei Chiyao actually had the nerve to ask that!
She knew full well that he had rushed all the way here to his office to see He Kaiting!
Thinking of this, the little girl grew even angrier!
She angrily swished her big tail and buried her whole face in it, refusing to even look at Pei Chiyao.
But how could an arm ever outtwist a leg?
Pei Chiyao only had to raise one finger to brush her big tail aside. "Zhi Yao, speak."
His tone was utterly threatening, like a storm about to break.
"Pei Chiyao!" Zhi Yao finally spoke. "You came to see He Kaiting! You thought I didn't know?"
The little girl glared angrily at Pei Chiyao. "Hmph, you're so eager to see other women!"
For some reason, Zhi Yao's behavior in this moment instantly dissipated much of Pei Chiyao's anger.
"You saw?"
Zhi Yao didn't answer, but her expression made the answer clear.
"Jealous?"
The man's previously gloomy mood suddenly turned joyful again.
Zhi Yao couldn't help but glance at Pei Chiyao. After suppressing it repeatedly, she finally asked, "Pei Chiyao, are you... schizophrenic or what?"
She really thought Pei Chiyao might be a bit schizophrenic...
He had been so unhappy just a moment ago, yet now he was so happy again. If he had a tail, she was sure it would be sticking straight up in the air right now.
Before Zhi Yao could finish speaking, another light slap landed on her furry bottom, shaking her little body slightly. Unlike before, this slap was quite gentle.
"You still haven't answered my question, darling."
"You haven't answered mine either!"
How typical, allowing the officials to light fires but not the civilians!
It infuriated her!
Seeing that the little girl was truly getting angry, Pei Chiyao finally coaxed her soothingly, "Darling, I didn't come to see her. There was just an issue at the company I needed to deal with. She somehow heard about it and rushed over before me, even bringing someone with her, saying that..."
The next words, Pei Chiyao seemed to want to say something but held back.
"What is it?" Zhi Yao flicked her tail and gave Pei Chiyao's arm a light swat.
She had clearly used some force, but Pei Chiyao could only feel the soft touch of her fur brushing against his arm, causing him to shudder involuntarily.
"She said... you are a fox spirit."
As soon as the words left his lips, Zhi Yao was startled, her fur standing on end!
She knew? She really knew?
