Chapter 13
"What are you still dazing around for?" Pei Ning immediately spoke up to remind.
The maid then came back to her senses, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry young master, I didn't know this was the fox you raised. I'm sorry little fox, I didn't mean it, I thought you ran in from outside to steal food."
Zhi Yao immediately waved her hand to indicate it was nothing.
It must be known that she was an extremely generous little fox! She would not care about such a trivial matter.
"Chirping!"
Zhi Yao leapt back into Pei Chiyao's arms in one go. She raised a paw and rubbed her belly.
The little fox was hungry, hungry, food food QAQ.
"Got it."
Pei Chiyao didn't look at the maid again. He carried Zhi Yao and turned to walk towards the dining room.
Pei Ning saw this and immediately followed.
"Bro... cousin..."
She trembled and asked: "When did you raise a fox?"
It was known that Pei Chiyao was the one the younger generations of the Pei family feared the most. They would flee at the sight of him on a normal day.
But there was no alternative, the little fox was too cute.
Pei Ning really wanted to get this little fox from Pei Chiyao.
Pei Chiyao didn't even lift his eyelids and said: "Recently."
"Oh..." While Pei Ning was thinking about how to phrase her request, she didn't expect that Pei Chiyao had already seen through her thoughts.
"Pei Ning, this fox is mine, do you understand?"
It was simply a light sentence, but Pei Ning immediately understood Pei Chiyao's meaning.
Pei Chiyao was warning her!
This was his belonging. No one else should think of having ideas about it.
Pei Ning immediately became dejected. She had never seen such a cute little fox...
"Then cousin, can I still come to see her later? Can I make some clothes for her?"
Make clothes?
Zhi Yao's ears immediately perked up. "Cooing?"
Really?
She also wanted to wear beautiful clothes!
Seeing those young ladies wearing such good-looking dresses, she was drooling over them!
Especially that bad woman the other day. Although she was a bad person and threw away her chocolate, her strappy dress looked so nice!
If only she could try it on too...
Zhi Yao happily thought. She immediately leapt out from Pei Chiyao's arms and ran circles around Pei Ning's feet, chirping while gesturing.
Pei Ning didn't understand for half a day.
Coincidentally, the TV in the living room was broadcasting a fashion show at this time. Zhi Yao immediately rushed over there and pointed at the model wearing a strappy dress, "Cheeping!"
This one!
She also stretched out her chubby paws and patted her furry chest.
The entire hall fell silent.
Pei Ning looked at Zhi Yao in disbelief and said, "You... you also want to wear a strappy dress?"
"Cooing!"
Yes!
She was the most beautiful little fox in the world.
"Pfft..."
Pei Ning couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Hahahaha... you're killing me!"
She imagined the little fox wearing a strappy dress and laughed until tears almost came out.
Pei Chiyao also couldn't help laughing. His tone was full of unstoppable laughter, "Little thing, who taught you these?"
Zhi Yao didn't understand what was so funny!
Her ancestor was the charming Su Daji! What was wrong with wearing a strappy dress?!
She angrily ran over and stomped Pei Chiyao's foot. "Humph!"
The little one glared at them angrily.
Don't laugh, don't laugh!
Not funny at all!
After five minutes, Pei Ning finally laughed enough. "Alright alright, I got it. I'll make you a strappy dress when I get back. Pfft... Hahahaha..."
Zhi Yao: "..."
So speechless.
Where exactly was the joke?!
The little fox didn't understand! The little fox was very confused!
Pei Chiyao picked up the little fox from the ground and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
The little fox lifted her head, "cooing" twice.
She wanted meat, she wanted meat!
She only got to eat half of it just now before being grabbed. She felt awful!
Soon, all the servants in the villa also knew that Pei Chiyao had raised a little fox, one that he doted on with all his heart.
No one dared provoke that little fox.
The villa wasn't too far from the set. Pei Chiyao didn't like staying in hotels. He had been living at home these past few days.
The little fox was being served by the servants. Her days were extremely comfortable, and her fur became more and more sleek and glossy.
Pei Ning came running here frequently, just wanting to take the chance to touch the fox fur more when Pei Chiyao wasn't home.
She knew Pei Chiyao didn't like others touching his belongings, but she couldn't help it. The little fox was just too cute!
What could she do? She could only secretly come to touch!
That day, as Pei Ning carried Zhi Yao, she suddenly felt...
"Little fox, have you gotten fatter?"
She somehow felt her to be softer now, chubby, heavier in her arms too.
Fatter?
Fatter!
These words were like thunder, striking the little fox's heart.
She hadn't!
"Awoo!"
Zhi Yao immediately struggled free and ran into the bathroom to look in the mirror.
Sure enough, just as Pei Ning said, her entire fox self had grown a size bigger.
It was fine for the fox to grow bigger, but... what if she also grew a size bigger when transformed into a human?!
Thinking of her plumper self, Zhi Yao felt her scalp go numb.
No... no!
Beauty was hereditary in her fox clan. How could it change with her!
But... but... the meat smelled and tasted so good and delicious!
What to do, woo woo woo...
Zhi Yao dejectedly jumped down from upstairs. Pei Ning hugged her and asked in some worry seeing her total look of unhappiness, "What's wrong little fox?"
Zhi Yao didn't want to talk.
She listlessly lay on Pei Ning's lap. But when she raised her eyes, she just happened to see a weight loss advertisement playing on the huge LCD TV screen in front.
"Are you still bothered by obesity?"
"Do you still want to continue having elephant legs and bucket waist?"
No!!
No—
Zhi Yao let out an angry howl. She decided, starting today, to go on a hunger strike!!
Hunger strike!!!
Come dinnertime, the servants upstairs and downstairs discovered one thing.
The little fox had stopped eating.
They were extremely anxious about this.
"What to do? If the little fox starves herself ill, the young master will definitely blame us."
"Is she uncomfortable? Should we call a veterinarian to take a look?"
Zhi Yao ignored all the whispers downstairs.
She lay on Pei Chiyao's bed, the whole fox completely dispirited and lifeless.
Hungry... so hungry...
Within Pei Chiyao's room, anywhere she looked, there were jade artifacts and stones.
It was the loot from that day.
To Zhi Yao this was no different from heaven itself. Her whole fox self was being soaked in spiritual energy.
But spiritual energy couldn't substitute for food!
She closed her eyes, trying to hypnotize herself with sleep. But Zhi Yao didn't see that in the reflection of the full length mirror, there was an extremely beautiful woman, lying on the bed...
