He Kaiting's face was a little embarrassed, but she was very familiar with Pei Chiyao's character, he had always been so cold to people.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the little fox who was reluctantly being wiped by Pei Chiyao's hand, and said, "Chiyao, I saw you raised a fox the other day, so I looked up some information when I went back. I heard that foxes are not very suitable as pets, so I asked my friend to bring a cat back from abroad."
As she spoke, she opened the pet carrier, inside was a snow-white cat with eyes like sapphires.
Zhi Yao was stunned on the spot.
Pei Chiyao narrowed his eyes.
He Kaiting thought she knew Pei Chiyao quite well.
She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, this cat has a special pedigree, its fur is hypoallergenic."
She knew Pei Chiyao was allergic to animal fur, so she went through great pains to find this breed of cat.
She just didn't like that fox. In He Kaiting's opinion, the eyes of that fox made her feel unusually uncomfortable.
It was like...a human.
She had heard that foxes were things that bewitch their masters, otherwise they wouldn't be called fox spirits or enchantresses.
Her intuition told her that the fox could not stay by Pei Chiyao's side.
Since he liked this kind of creature, he might as well keep one she gave him. She had even thought about it already, if Pei Chiyao posted this kitten on Weibo afterwards, she would also post a few photos of the cat.
By then, netizens would naturally find out that it was the same one.
She had even bought the PR article ready, then hype up the scandal between her and Pei Chiyao, and she would become the first of Pei Chiyao's scandal partners.
He Kaiting thought smugly, completely oblivious to the fact that the cat she brought, upon seeing Zhi Yao, was so frightened that its fur stood on end and it hid directly in the pet carrier, refusing to come out.
This cat looked good even to her, how could it compare to a white fox?
However, after waiting for a long time, she still did not get Pei Chiyao's gaze to fall on her face.
Finally, He Kaiting realized that the cat was cowering in the cage and refusing to come out.
She immediately bent down to try and coax the cat out, but no matter what, the kitten refused to come out.
Zhi Yao sat motionless on Pei Chiyao's lap, her golden eyes staring at the cat unwaveringly.
The cat was deterred by Zhi Yao's pressure and shivered in fear.
He Kaiting smiled awkwardly, and immediately disregarding everything, reached out to grab the cat.
"She wasn't like this before, very friendly, she must be scared in a strange environment today. Chiyao, wait a moment, I'll get her out right away."
However, what He Kaiting did not expect was... in a state of fear, the kitten was very irrational.
As soon as her hand reached in, the next second - "Ah!"
He Kaiting yelled in pain, immediately retracting her hand, and as expected, three claw marks instantly appeared on the back of her hand.
He Kaiting was so angry she immediately picked up the pet carrier and mercilessly dumped the cat out.
Only then did Pei Chiyao see what the cat looked like.
He snorted disdainfully, far inferior to his fox.
He Kaiting hugged the cat, trying to get it close to Pei Chiyao.
But the cat was as if it had seen a tiger, refusing to go near Pei Chiyao.
It screamed desperately, turned and ran, hiding directly under the sofa and refusing to come out.
Zhi Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, her chocolate!
The little one immediately disregarded everything, slipped out from under Pei Chiyao's hand, and dove under too.
After this, things gradually developed in a strange direction.
Seeing Zhi Yao, the cat screamed again and again, rolling and crawling out from under the sofa, pouncing straight at He Kaiting, leaping onto He Kaiting's shoulder, its paws piercing He Kaiting's clothes painfully.
"What's wrong with you?!"
He Kaiting really couldn't stand it anymore. The cute little cat from the past was like it had taken the wrong medication today.
It was just a fox, what was there to be so afraid of?
Its size was even twice that of the fox!!
Zhi Yao made sure the cat didn't have designs on her chocolate, before crawling out from under the sofa.
The fur she had just wiped clean was dusty again.
She shook her body and met Pei Chiyao's gaze. Zhi Yao immediately dodged guiltily, backing up two steps.
Seeing Zhi Yao come towards it, the cat became even more afraid. "Meow!!!"
She screamed desperately, even more panicked, climbing straight onto He Kaiting's head.
He Kaiting immediately shouted, "Get down!! Get down now!!!"
Her hairstyle!!!
Zhi Yao turned around and bared her teeth at He Kaiting, the annoying woman was so noisy this early in the morning, hurting her ears.
The cat, mistakenly thinking Zhi Yao was behaving this way towards it, was scared to the extreme.
Then, a smell of urine filled everyone's nostrils, and He Kaiting's hair was thoroughly soaked.
Zhi Yao: "..."
He Kaiting: "Ahhhhhh——"
Pei Chiyao really couldn't stand watching this farce anymore. "Miss He, are we very familiar with each other?"
He Kaiting, who was screaming, instantly stopped, not understanding what Pei Chiyao meant.
"I have no dealings with you, I hope Miss He can call me Mr. Pei in the future. As for the cat..."
He got up, picked up Zhi Yao, and prepared to leave, "My little fox has a bad temper, and is very jealous, raising her alone gives me enough headaches, you should keep your cat for yourself."
He sneered coldly, "Butler, see the guest out."
Having said that, without even glancing at He Kaiting, he directly left.
He Kaiting watched blankly as his tall and straight figure disappeared from her sight, reluctant to part...
Pei Chiyao's room had been cleaned up, he took the little fox back to the room.
As soon as he put Zhi Yao down, Zhi Yao wanted to scurry away.
No! She couldn't leave He Kaiting alone with her chocolate, otherwise her chocolate would definitely not be safe!
"Come back."
Before she could scamper off, Pei Chiyao called her back, "That cat just now, did you do that?"
Zhi Yao was surprised for a moment, and immediately decided to play dumb, "What are you talking about, I don't know."
She looked at the sky and the ground, anywhere but Pei Chiyao.
Pei Chiyao sneered coldly. He recognized that breed of cat, the Siberian forest cat, bred by the warrior race, how could it possibly be so timid.
He had noticed that the cat in the pet carrier kept sizing up Zhi Yao's expression.
This matter definitely had something to do with Zhi Yao.
"Are you sure?"
After a three-second standoff, Zhi Yao finally nodded.
Yes, she did it on purpose.
She looked at Pei Chiyao carefully, afraid of upsetting Pei Chiyao.
"I shouldn't have scared it just now."
Pei Chiyao was a little surprised. He didn't expect this proud little fox to actually apologize, and at the same time realized that Zhi Yao had misunderstood.
"Yao Yao, come here."
His tone suddenly softened.
Zhi Yao stood still where she was, still unwilling to go over.
Since she didn't move, Pei Chiyao had to go over instead.
He reached out and ruffled Zhi Yao's hair, saying, "What are you worrying about? What I said just now was meant for He Kaiting to hear, and also for you to hear."
What he said just now...?
Zhi Yao thought back carefully. At last, she suddenly widened her eyes in realization—"My little fox has a bad temper and is quick to get jealous. Keeping her is already giving me a headache. You should keep your own cat."
So...she's such a headache for him? So annoying?
Zhi Yao couldn't help crying again.
"Pei Chiyao, you big bully!"
The little girl sobbed until she was gasping for breath, "If...if you find me annoying, I'll leave right now!"
