Zhi Yao raised her eyes, originally intending to vent her anger, but upon seeing Pei Chiyao in such a state, she instantly froze in place, looking helpless and at a loss.
"Yao, if you don't want to be with me, I won't force you anymore. I admit, I was selfish. I disregarded your wishes and placed a seal on you, forcibly keeping you by my side. I was wrong."
Pei Chiyao's eyes, black like obsidian, seemed to mist over with emotion. Those usually sharp eyes were now devoid of their usual powerful aura, instead exuding a pitiful vulnerability.
He was naturally handsome, his face often leaving Zhi Yao in a daze. But now... he looked heartbroken.
For a moment, Zhi Yao felt as if her heart had been wrenched out by Pei Chiyao.
"Since you don't want to see me, I'll leave. It's cold outside and still snowing. You stay in the car, and once the snow stops, you can go wherever you want."
With those words, he moved to open the car door.
As the door swung open, the cold wind rushed in, immediately snapping Zhi Yao back to her senses.
The young lady hurriedly scooted over and hugged Pei Chiyao's waist, crying out, "No no no, don't go!"
Seeing his dejected expression, she felt her own heart shattering. She even thought that the truly wicked one was her, not Pei Chiyao!
"I'm not angry anymore, don't go."
The young lady leaned closer to see his expression, but he turned his head, unwilling to meet her gaze directly.
Zhi Yao bit her lip dejectedly, saying, "You're not wrong, it's all my fault."
It's all because this man is so devilishly handsome.
When he looks hurt, she wants to tear her heart out for him.
Moreover... moreover, she had only intended to act coy, letting Pei Chiyao chase after her and dote on her for a few days. Then she would tell him not to control what snacks she eats anymore. But who knew... she would end up making Pei Chiyao cry?!
"Pay attention to me..." Zhi Yao clung to Pei Chiyao's arm, shamelessly coaxing and cajoling him, pressing her entire body against his arm and nuzzling him.
Seeing that Pei Chiyao still didn't respond, his shoulders even trembling slightly, Zhi Yao instantly regretted her actions even more.
Oh no, oh no, this time she had really gone too far, making Pei Chiyao cry!
The young lady decided to go all out, brazenly rushing over and nuzzling her head against Pei Chiyao's chest. "I was wrong!"
The fluffy sensation instantly made Pei Chiyao narrow his eyes.
His fingertips caressed her lightly, as if he longed to pin the young lady down on the backseat and thoroughly ravish her.
But he restrained himself.
"You don't need to placate me. I know you don't like me. It's only because of the seal that you can't leave me, making you think you like me." Here, he choked back a sob. "Go and like someone else. You were right, you should have your own life, not a world with only me in it."
Zhi Yao was stunned.
These were words Pei Chiyao could actually say?!
When did he start down this self-sacrificing path?
Shouldn't Pei Chiyao say something like, "If you dare find someone else, I'll kill that person first, then kill you, and finally kill myself"?
That's more in line with his character!
Oh no, oh no, this really is bad.
Pei Chiyao was crying, and now Zhi Yao felt like crying too.
This won't do, but what can she do?
She was so flustered her fur was practically standing on end.
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
Got it!
The young lady climbed onto Pei Chiyao's lap, thankfully the car's interior was spacious enough for her to move about freely.
"Husband, don't be angry anymore, okay? Yao knows she was wrong. Yao won't throw tantrums again." She spoke gently in his ear, nuzzling his chin affectionately.
Yet she failed to notice the bob of his Adam's apple.
"How could I ever leave you? Without you, how would I live? If... if you're really afraid I'll leave, then I..."
The young lady steeled herself and said the words. "Then I'll have your cubs. With little fox cubs, I definitely won't be able to bear leaving you..."
Before she could finish, Zhi Yao found herself spun around, suddenly pinned beneath Pei Chiyao on the backseat.
Their faces were so close, she could clearly see the amusement dancing in his obsidian eyes.
It was only then that Zhi Yao realized - damn it! She'd been tricked!
"You tricked me?!"
The young lady gnashed her teeth angrily.
Pei Chiyao curved his lips, though his eyes glinted with fractured light. Zhi Yao had never seen him in such high spirits.
"Little fox cubs? Really?"
"No!" Zhi Yao glared at him. "You big liar!"
"Ah, but lying foxes' noses grow longer, didn't you know?"
Reminded of that incident, Zhi Yao felt a pang of embarrassment.
She had truly been... so foolish back then.
She lowered her head, not wanting to meet Pei Chiyao's gaze, but he gripped her chin and forced her to look at him.
"Baby, I'm really looking forward to little fox... um... shall we have a daughter?"
His hand had already slipped under her skirt. Just as Zhi Yao was about to speak, Pei Chiyao captured her lips in a searing kiss.
He kissed her until she was dizzy with desire, Zhi Yao even forgetting to resist as she murmured, "Pei Chiyao, you... you're so silly. We foxes have litters, not just one."
Pei Chiyao chuckled deeply. "Alright, a litter. Then I want three sons and one daughter. In the future, we'll leave all our assets to our daughter."
He really thought far ahead.
Zhi Yao rolled her eyes, but before she could retort, her lips stung from another nip.
This man! He bit her again!
"It seems... starting today, I need to work extra hard..."
"You... you can't shift into your dragon form..."
Zhi Yao whispered faintly.
She really couldn't take it, it was too... too painful.
"Today, I'll be very gentle."
...
He held Zhi Yao in the car, still not sated, as the cramped space was too limiting.
Pei Chiyao carried the limp young lady back home.
Zhi Yao was truly on the verge of tears. Why did she have to run her mouth like that? She knew full well that Pei Chiyao had always wanted to have children with her.
Moreover, she had always felt that this smelly man wasn't obsessed with children, but rather with the act of conceiving them.
Wasn't this tantamount to her cleaning herself up, wrapping herself in a pretty bow, and offering herself up to Pei Chiyao's mouth?
She was so foolish, really!!!!
