Zhi Yao wanted to speak, but Pei Chiyao kept his hand over her mouth, muffling her words. "Mmm!"
The young lady made muffled "mmm mmm" sounds, resembling the noises of a kitten.
Pei Chiyao glanced at her briefly, noticing her obedient expression, and then released his hand. "Phone."
Unsure of his intentions, Zhi Yao innocently handed over her phone.
Then...
She witnessed Pei Chiyao opening her chat with Sister Su.
[Sister Su: Holy sh*t holy sh*t holy sh*t! Yao Yao, remember that story we read last time? The super hot one! Quick quick quick, I've got the author's latest work, it's steaming hot! Read it now! [Very Spicy Meat.doc]]
He casually opened that document, which displayed explicit, X-rated content across the screen.
Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao were both silent.
After recovering from the shock, Zhi Yao frantically stood on her tiptoes, trying to grab the phone from him.
Unfortunately, her short stature was a disadvantage. No matter how hard she tried or jumped, she couldn't reach it.
The young lady was on the verge of tears, "Pei Chiyao, give it back to me!"
"Is this what you usually read?"
Zhi Yao shook her head vigorously, "No, I've never read those."
She usually read proper novels, and it was only recently that Sister Su had started introducing her to more mature content... But Zhi Yao rarely used her phone, so whenever she opened it, the system would automatically censor everything...
She hadn't had a chance to read any of them.
She was completely caught off guard when Pei Chiyao caught her with Sister Su's latest work!!!
Pei Chiyao let out a cold laugh, "Seems like it was my mistake."
Zhi Yao paused her attempt to grab the phone, surprised that Pei Chiyao would suddenly admit his fault.
She immediately stopped and stood upright, looking at Pei Chiyao with a very gracious tone, "It's good that you realize your mistake. I won't blame you for taking my phone. Pei Chiyao, please return my phone. I forgive you."
Upon hearing her words, Pei Chiyao was so enraged he almost had a heart attack.
He laughed bitterly, "You silly vixen, it seems I've been too lenient with you lately."
He swiftly pocketed Zhi Yao's phone and, without further ado, slung her over his shoulder.
The young lady felt dizzy from the sudden motion, and by the time she regained her senses, Pei Chiyao had already carried her away in large strides.
"Pei Chiyao, what are you doing? Aren't you going to find my second brother?"
She hadn't even conveyed Jiang Zhu's message to him yet!
As soon as the words left her mouth, she was struck – not gently as usual, but with slightly more force, leaving her dazed.
"Your brother already knows. No need for me to relay it. Behave yourself."
The young lady fell completely silent.
Pei Chiyao had actually hit her? He had actually hit her?!
He unceremoniously carried her into the backseat of the car. As soon as she landed, Zhi Yao glared at Pei Chiyao resentfully.
This morning he had scolded her, saying he didn't like foxes! Now he had even hit her! He was so mean!
Zhi Yao wanted to bite him, but looking at his handsome face, she couldn't bring herself to do it...
Meanwhile, Pei Chiyao only lowered his head, his long fingers tapping repeatedly on Zhi Yao's phone screen. Zhi Yao didn't know what he was doing, so she glared at him several times, but the man showed no reaction.
The little vixen's curiosity was piqued, so she quickly leaned over to look. When she saw the phone screen, her fox-like eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
What... what did she see?!
Pei Chiyao had forwarded all the mature works that Sister Su had sent her... to himself??
At this point, Zhi Yao was completely baffled.
What on earth was Pei Chiyao trying to do?
After finishing that, Zhi Yao watched helplessly as Pei Chiyao deleted and blocked Sister Su.
Zhi Yao: "......"
He then took out his own phone, found Sister Su's contact, and sent her a message.
[From now on, please send any material like this directly to me. [image]]
The image was a screenshot of the chat between Sister Su and Zhi Yao.
Zhi Yao watched as the "[typing...]" indicator stayed on Sister Su's chat window for a long time, but she never sent a reply to Pei Chiyao.
Evidently, Pei Chiyao had no intention of waiting for her reply.
He put away his phone and looked at Zhi Yao.
At this moment, Zhi Yao had a dazed expression on her face.
"Yao Yao likes reading this kind of stuff? Seems like I haven't been doing a good enough job lately."
He loosened his tie, recalling that damned seal, which only made Pei Chiyao feel more annoyed.
He had already sent people to investigate, but for some reason, they hadn't found any information.
After all, it was an ancient matter from over a hundred years ago. It would be strange if they could find anything.
However... that didn't prevent him from tormenting the young lady.
With a slight smirk, recalling the document he had seen earlier, which also took place in a car...
He abruptly flipped Zhi Yao over, making her lay across his lap. He gently patted her back, as if comforting her. "Why aren't you talking to me? Are you mad that I deleted Sister Su?" His tone was conciliatory, but his actions showed no remorse.
"Pei Chiyao, what are you doing?" Zhi Yao protested, struggling fiercely.
She didn't like this position – it was uncomfortable.
"Smack!" Pei Chiyao struck her again. Zhi Yao turned to look at him in disbelief and dejection, her golden eyes and voice filled with hurt. "You actually hit me?"
She couldn't believe that Pei Chiyao would do such a thing to her!
Pei Chiyao raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening with a hint of mischief.
For some reason, at this moment, Zhi Yao felt that between the two of them, Pei Chiyao resembled a fox more – a bad fox!
"Pei Chiyao, you..."
Zhi Yao couldn't help but whimper softly. It was just... too humiliating.
"I already admitted my mistake earlier," Pei Chiyao drawled lazily, leaning back against the car seat. His large hand caressed the soft, smooth skin on the inside of Zhi Yao's thigh, and the sensation made him narrow his eyes instinctively.
"Now, it's time for the disobedient young lady to be punished."
"Does Yao Yao enjoy this?" For some reason, the thought of Zhi Yao reading the material Sister Su had sent filled him with jealous rage.
"I can learn too, for Yao Yao's sake. Doesn't Yao Yao believe me? Hmm?"
Zhi Yao really wanted to cry, "I haven't seen it... I really haven't seen it..."
Zhi Yao was hit again, although Pei Chiyao controlled his force very well, Zhi Yao still couldn't help but shudder.
The man's voice was low in the dim car, strangely tinged with a bit of seduction, "A lying little girl will receive a more severe punishment."
