Chapter 148
Seeing Zhi Yao's terrified look, Pei Chiyao couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Baby, did you really believe me?"
Zhi Yao finally realized that Pei Chiyao had been fooling her!
She was so angry that she opened her mouth, wanting to bite Pei Chiyao's hand, but he didn't dodge. Instead, he stretched out his hand toward her. "Here, go ahead and bite. If you bite me, you won't be angry anymore."
With his gesture, Zhi Yao couldn't bring herself to bite him.
This damn scoundrel!
The little girl looked up and glared fiercely at Pei Chiyao.
"Be good, don't be angry," he said, stroking her fur. "Baby, He Kaiting wanted to talk to me about the company, but I sent her away. I promise I didn't say a single unnecessary word to her. If you don't believe me, my office has surveillance cameras, you can watch them anytime."
Zhi Yao believed Pei Chiyao. When He Kaiting walked out earlier, her red eyes revealed that Pei Chiyao must not have said anything nice to her.
Zhi Yao didn't distrust Pei Chiyao; she just wanted to throw a little tantrum sometimes. Fortunately, Pei Chiyao was skilled at coaxing her.
Before long, the little girl was purring contentedly as Pei Chiyao stroked her fur.
"Baby, want to change back?" Pei Chiyao asked, looking at the drowsy little creature in his arms. Although Zhi Yao's fur was soft and felt nice, he still preferred her creamy, delicate skin.
It felt even more irresistible to caress.
Zhi Yao was too sleepy to respond to Pei Chiyao.
The little creature in his arms was too lazy to pay him any attention. Seeing this, Pei Chiyao felt helpless.
Nevertheless, he carefully placed the fox on the sofa and covered her with a blanket.
Just as he was about to return to his seat and review the documents, he stepped on something.
Pei Chiyao looked down and saw a business card.
He didn't think much of it at first, but as soon as he read the words written on the card, his expression froze.
If he wasn't mistaken, earlier when Zhi Yao came in, she was indeed carrying something in her mouth.
Could it be... this business card?
The card had an English string written on it. Of course, Zhi Yao couldn't understand it, but Pei Chiyao could.
He clenched the card tightly in his hand, his grip slightly trembling, and immediately grabbed his phone and walked outside.
Throughout all this, Zhi Yao remained sound asleep on the soft sofa, completely unaware of what had happened to Pei Chiyao.
...
When Zhi Yao woke up, it was already 6 p.m.
The little creature stretched out her snow-white, soft belly with her paws raised high, yawned lazily, licked her paws, and then crawled off the sofa.
The office lights were on, but Pei Chiyao was nowhere to be seen.
Zhi Yao was a bit puzzled as she jumped off the sofa. Just as she was about to go look for Pei Chiyao, the door opened from the outside.
She didn't even need to look up to know who it was.
It was Pei Chiyao.
The faint scent of sandalwood wafted from his body, drifting into Zhi Yao's nostrils.
The little fox immediately jumped to Pei Chiyao's feet, rubbing her head against his pant leg.
"Pei Chiyao~"
Zhi Yao didn't sense Pei Chiyao's strange mood and continued to act coquettishly.
But the next second, Pei Chiyao suddenly picked her up.
Immediately, Zhi Yao met Pei Chiyao's gaze.
Black as ink, deep and unfathomable.
Zhi Yao was startled.
"What's... wrong with you?"
For a long while, Pei Chiyao didn't respond.
His stare made Zhi Yao's heart race.
The little creature racked her brain, but she couldn't recall doing anything outrageous recently...
Why did Pei Chiyao look so angry again?
As she puzzled over this, Pei Chiyao finally spoke. "Tell me, who did you encounter this afternoon?"
Encounter who...
She didn't encounter anyone...
Zhi Yao looked completely bewildered.
Seeing her expression, Pei Chiyao knew this silly little thing hadn't realized yet. He took out the business card he had found and held it in front of Zhi Yao's face.
That's when Zhi Yao remembered... the man who could read minds!
She had slept and completely forgotten about the incident.
Zhi Yao hurriedly said, "Pei Chiyao! I remember now! I met a man this afternoon!"
Seeing Zhi Yao confessing voluntarily, Pei Chiyao's gloomy mood cleared slightly.
It seemed this silly little fox wasn't intentionally hiding it from him; she simply had a bad memory.
Zhi Yao also realized what was going on. This man... was most likely jealous again.
She felt that she and Pei Chiyao were really interesting. Every day, they were either jealous of each other or on their way to being jealous.
Could this be the legendary jealous couple?
Pei Chiyao didn't say a word, so Zhi Yao continued to explain.
"I was going to your office to find you, but before I could open the door, that man suddenly appeared behind me. I had no choice..."
Zhi Yao felt wronged. She didn't have eyes on her back!
"Then... then he picked me up..."
From there, Zhi Yao spoke in an increasingly smaller voice, afraid that the next second, Pei Chiyao would go crazy.
After all, when Pei Chiyao got jealous, it wasn't like her little tantrums. He would truly go mad.
"Wuwuwu... It's not my fault, is it? Can't I just go wash my paws now?"
As she spoke, she struggled to jump out of Pei Chiyao's arms and go wash her paws, but she couldn't break free.
"Then what happened?" Pei Chiyao held the constantly squirming Zhi Yao securely. "Tell me everything before you go."
"I'll wash them for you myself."
For some reason, Zhi Yao felt a sense of danger in those words.
Darn it! If Pei Chiyao washed her, wouldn't he scrub her fluffy little paws bald?!
She couldn't bear that!
Seeing Zhi Yao's silence, the man clicked his tongue and tugged at her plump, velvety ear.
Zhi Yao finally snapped out of it and looked at Pei Chiyao with puppy eyes. "That... that man could read minds!"
Just thinking about it made Zhi Yao feel scared.
Originally, there were not many people who knew that she was a fox spirit. The only human—Shen Yilian, and Shen Yilian's father are now both dead.
She had been at ease before, but now there is another person, Anthony. That man looks very frightening, and Zhi Yao always feels like he is a ticking time bomb.
Seeing Zhi Yao's distracted look again, Pei Chiyao could not help but grit his teeth, "Are you thinking about that man again?!"
He had contacted that man, and the man told him that Zhi Yao must contact him personally...
The paper contained information about the seal on Zhi Yao.
Who is he, really?
