Chapter 156
Zhi Yao: "???"
Why was he looking at her belly? Was there something wrong with her belly?
Zhi Yao rubbed her flat little stomach, feeling genuinely a bit hungry.
But what Zhi Yao didn't know was that her little gesture looked radiantly maternal to Ling Si.
"Scoundrel!" Ling Si glared angrily at Pei Chiyao. "You scoundrel."
Poor Pei Chiyao, being insulted for the second time today: "..."
Why did these people instantly think of pregnancy whenever going on a trip was mentioned? He didn't understand, he really didn't understand...
Seeing Ling Si insult Pei Chiyao, Zhi Yao was instantly displeased. "Fourth brother, why are you insulting Pei Chiyao?"
"Yao Yao, you're still defending him!" Ling Si felt like banging his sister's head open to see what was inside.
Although the Wolf Tribe had no concept of marriage, after living in the human world for so long, Ling Si understood. Getting pregnant before marriage meant this person was unscrupulous and irresponsible!
A man like that was unworthy of Yao Yao!
Zhi Yao looked utterly baffled.
The veins on Pei Chiyao's forehead were throbbing. "Ling Si, Yao Yao is not pregnant."
"Pfft." Ling Si clearly didn't believe him. "You say she's not pregnant, and she's not? Would you dare take Yao Yao for a medical check-up? You won't even admit it!"
This Pei Chiyao didn't seem like an upright gentleman at all. His sister Yao Yao was so beautiful, so adorable, so charming - only an idiot would let that go untouched.
Unless Pei Chiyao was...incapable.
But he didn't seem so! This man could be described as ravenous as a wolf.
To the side, the bewildered Zhi Yao's eyes widened, her face flushing red. "What...what are you two talking about?"
Pregnancy?!
That was too absurd!
Since she had arrived, had she said a single word related to pregnancy? How did Fourth Brother's imagination run so wild?!
"Come, Yao Yao, let's go to the hospital right now. I want to make this heartless brute see the truth!"
With that, Ling Si tried to drag Zhi Yao away.
"Hey hey hey..."
Zhi Yao stood there, trying to resist, but Ling Si's strength was too great. Even if Zhi Yao used all her might, it seemed like child's play to Ling Si.
"Stop."
Finally, Pei Chiyao spoke up. "Ling Si, let me tell you one last time - Yao Yao really isn't pregnant."
How could he explain this?
He couldn't just bluntly tell Ling Si that he and Yao Yao hadn't yet...
Thinking of this, Pei Chiyao hated that seal even more, wishing he could take Zhi Yao to Xuanling Town right then.
These people were just rubbing salt in his wounds!
"You say she's not pregnant, and she's not? Do you think you're an ultrasound machine?"
That retort completely stumped Pei Chiyao.
In desperation, Zhi Yao hurriedly said, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, I really am not pregnant. Pei Chiyao...he, he can't!"
As those words came out, the previously lively restaurant fell completely silent.
Everyone's gaze fixed on Zhi Yao.
Zhi Yao: "..."
Damn, she had meant to say that he hadn't done that with her, but instead it came out as him being incapable!
Tonight...Pei Chiyao would probably kill her...
Ling Si scrutinized Zhi Yao suspiciously from head to toe, feeling that she was lying to him, still defending Pei Chiyao.
Trembling, Zhi Yao lifted her sleeve, revealing the distinctive markings of the Fox Tribe.
"Tsk..."
Ling Si gasped deeply. "This this this..."
Had he just discovered a shocking secret?!
For a moment, he didn't know whether to sympathize with Pei Chiyao or Zhi Yao...
"Ah this..."
He released Zhi Yao's hand, an awkward expression flashing across his handsome face. "That...I know some doctors, do you need..."
"No need!" Before Ling Si could finish, Pei Chiyao cut him off.
His voice sounded forced through gritted teeth.
Ling Si sensed imminent danger. "I just remembered I have something to do, I'll leave first."
He then bolted away immediately.
Zhi Yao stared wide-eyed, in disbelief at her Fourth Brother's rapidly retreating back.
"Fourth Brother! Come back here!"
It was Fourth Brother's fault for twisting things to this point! She was doomed, doomed to be severely dealt with by Pei Chiyao tonight!
"Pei..."
Zhi Yao stood there like a child who had done something wrong, gaze fixed on her toes, not daring to look up at Pei Chiyao.
"Weren't you hungry? Let's eat."
In those brief few minutes, Pei Chiyao had regained his composure.
His casual tone sounded impossibly calm to Zhi Yao.
The young lady abruptly raised her head. "You're...not angry?"
"No, I won't nitpick with a kid."
"Really?" Zhi Yao couldn't believe Pei Chiyao was being so magnanimous today.
The servants brought the dinner to the table. With only Ling Si at home earlier, and him having caused trouble and fled, the dining table now only had Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao remaining.
"Of course not, have you caused so little trouble?"
When put that way, it made sense.
The young lady swiftly moved beside Pei Chiyao, endearingly grasping his hand. "Pei Chiyao, Pei Chiyao, I really didn't mean it! I just misspoke a little, you have to believe me!"
"I know, let's eat."
At that time, Zhi Yao didn't yet understand one truth.
Before a storm arrives, the sky is often very calm.
Of course...Zhi Yao only realized this after returning from Xuanling Town.
...
The next day, Pei Chiyao took the little fox girl and left home.
Last night, Zhi Yao slept very well - Pei Chiyao didn't actually do anything to her!
Her opinion of Pei Chiyao immediately improved!
Once in the car, the young lady kept gushing, "Pei Chiyao, you're so good, Pei Chiyao, you're so generous, I like Pei Chiyao the most now!"
Pei Chiyao smiled faintly, but didn't speak.
Only after leaving City Y did Zhi Yao realize something. "Where's Anthony? Isn't he coming with us?"
"He's behind us."
Pei Chiyao glanced in the rearview mirror - sure enough, another car was following theirs.
"You sent someone to pick him up?"
"Yes."
For now, Anthony could not be fully trusted, so naturally Pei Chiyao had people keep a close watch on him.
After leaving the city, Anthony's car gradually overtook Pei Chiyao's, taking the lead.
According to Anthony's description, the location of Xuanling Town should be more than two hundred kilometers away from this city.
The current direction should be heading toward City Y.
But... Pei Chiyao had never heard of a town like that in City Y.
Yet for some reason, as they gradually approached their destination, his head also started to ache violently, and some scattered images began to flood into his mind...
It seemed he saw a... fox?
