All the servants loved Zhi Yao very much. Who wouldn't love a little milk dumpling that acts coquettishly in front of you?
However, this was only limited to mealtimes.
They had never seen such a food-loving animal before. As soon as the snack cabinet was knocked on, the little one ran over, pestering people for food.
At ordinary times, however, not even a shadow of her could be seen.
But after all, this was a fox raised by Pei Chiyao, and they didn't dare go up and touch it.
The servants carefully divided the chicken cubes and potatoes and put them in Zhi Yao's bowl.
But Zhi Yao didn't want to lick and eat like an animal, which was too inelegant. She was going to become Su Daji's woman!
Without even thinking about it, she grabbed Pei Chiyao's fork, but her paws were too small and she couldn't pick up the fork at all. As she moved, she accidentally slapped Pei Chiyao's fork to the ground.
Pei Chiyao sighed, "What's the silly idea you've come up with now?"
Zhi Yao raised her paw, and before she could start gesturing, the next second, the whole fox was picked up by Pei Chiyao.
"I'll feed you."
Pei Chiyao fed very carefully, and Zhi Yao closed her eyes comfortably.
This was too, too happy!
Being a fox, she didn't even have to move to eat. She suddenly didn't want to turn into a human anymore!
As if sensing Zhi Yao's thoughts, the jade stone hanging on her chest suddenly flashed very fast, but no one noticed.
Seeing that Zhi Yao was finally willing to eat, the servant heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Young Master, you don't know, when you were not at home, the little fox missed you so much that she wouldn't drink water or eat food. We were so worried in the afternoon, afraid that she would starve. It turns out she only eats when you feed her. You see how much the little fox relies on you."
When Pei Chiyao heard this, he gave a cold laugh.
She wasn't lovesick at all.
But...
Looking at the very dependent Zhi Yao, Pei Chiyao's mood inevitably improved.
It would be best if she couldn't live without him for the rest of her life.
He gently tapped Zhi Yao's little nose with his index finger and said, "Since you miss me so much, you should just come with me to the set from now on."
"Uh?" Zhi Yao tilted her head.
But she couldn't get up! And the set was windy and sunny.
But...
She didn't want to never see Pei Chiyao again either.
Thinking of this, the little fox weighed it over and over again, and finally nodded her fox head obediently.
Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Pei Chiyao's heart melted.
After dinner, Pei Chiyao ordered the servants below to prepare more than a dozen women's outfits and put them in his wardrobe.
Seeing those extremely beautiful dresses, Zhi Yao really couldn't control her paws from loving them.
"Mmm mmm!" So pretty! Were they for her?
She kept spinning around Pei Chiyao's feet.
"Want to wear them?"
Zhi Yao nodded madly, "Mm!"
I want them! Of course I want them!
"Then hurry up and find a way to turn into a human, understand?" He gently coaxed.
Looking at the beautiful dresses in front of her, the little fox clenched her paws, and suddenly ignited ambition in her heart at that moment.
"Mm!"
She would definitely find a way to turn into a human sooner!
Zhi Yao happily wandered around the wardrobe. Seeing that she was having fun, Pei Chiyao didn't stop her. At this moment, his phone rang, and Pei Chiyao went out to answer the call.
It took quite a while before he came back.
"I have to go out for a bit. Do you want to stay home or come with me?"
Zhi Yao naturally chose the latter.
She was almost moldy from boredom at home.
...
An hour later, Pei Chiyao took Zhi Yao to an entertainment club.
Pei Chiyao arrived a little late. As soon as he entered the door, several gazes inside immediately fell on him.
He was too lazy to talk nonsense and sat directly in the main seat. "Do you have any clues about what I asked you to investigate?"
He tapped his knuckles on the table, making a crisp sound!
Zhi Yao hid in Pei Chiyao's pocket, poking out two pointed ears and a pair of eyes, curiously looking around.
She had never seen any of the people here before!
As if sensing the unusually solidified atmosphere here, after watching for a while, Zhi Yao shrank back again.
No one saw that there was a small moving object in Pei Chiyao's pocket.
Until—
"Sorry I'm late."
"Young Master, I've investigated clearly what was left at the Pei Family Old House that time, back then..."
Zhi Yao couldn't hear anything else.
This voice...
This voice was...!
She would never forget it!
It was this man who captured many of her fellow fox spirits!
She suddenly jumped out of Pei Chiyao's pocket when she saw the man's face again. Zhi Yao was completely sure now!
That's right, it was him!
It was him who took Mother away! It was him!
She was so angry she couldn't stand it anymore.
Taking advantage of the gap when the man came to hand documents to Pei Chiyao, Zhi Yao leapt out of Pei Chiyao's pocket.
With a "chua" sound, she stretched out her sharp claws and left three or four wounds on the back of the man's hand. Blood flowed immediately.
Zhi Yao arched her back, ready to fight, also making "zhi zhi zhi" sounds from her mouth!
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change. No one knew where a fox had popped out from.
Someone reacted first. "Mr. Gu, are you alright!"
The man suddenly pulled out a knife. "I'll kill this evil beast now!"
But before his blade could aim at Zhi Yao, the next second, his tiger's mouth suddenly went numb. Then the knife flew straight out.
Pei Chiyao laughed lightly. "No need to panic. It's just that my little friend here is a bit naughty."
He reached out and picked Zhi Yao up, looking at the red blood staining her snowy fur. Pei Chiyao helplessly tapped her forehead. "Didn't I tell you not to scratch people with your claws? Getting your fur dirty... When we get home, I won't wash you."
He casually glanced at Gu Xingzhi standing to the side. "Mr. Gu, I'm really sorry. When I get home, I will be sure to discipline this disobedient little friend."
But Gu Xingzhi couldn't hear anything.
He stared straight at the fox in Pei Chiyao's arms, looking crazy.
A fox... a fox...
The looks of this fox were unmatched! It was a snow fox that couldn't be bought with money.
At that moment, he didn't care about his bleeding hand anymore. His gaze hadn't left Zhi Yao at all. "Young Pei, name your price for this fox. I want it!"
He had caught so many foxes, but none of them could compare to the one in front of him!
Zhi Yao was already furious. Hearing these words made her even angrier!
This bad man! He had harmed so many of her fellow fox spirits, and now he wouldn't even let her go?!
She hated herself for being unable to speak. Otherwise, she would definitely loudly question this man about where he had taken Mother!
