The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

Chapter 205

Therefore, regarding this accident, Zhi Yi became increasingly worried about Zhi Yao's health.

Seeing Zhi Yi's concerned expression, Ling Er immediately comforted her, "Mother will be fine. Father will return with a doctor soon, and then we'll have them give Yao Yao a thorough examination."

Moreover, Zhi Yao showed no signs of injury, either in her mental state or physical appearance. Ling Er believed the little girl's body likely had no major issues.

...

The little girl later fell asleep again. When she next awoke, it was to the sound of crying.

Zhi Yao furrowed her brow, opening her eyes in confusion. She realized the crying was coming from outside the door.

And... the voice sounded familiar?

"Can I... can I please go in and see Yao Yao?"

Was that... Yan Mu?

Zhi Yao suddenly threw off her blanket and opened the door. The sight that greeted her was Ling San and Ling Si standing guard outside with vigilant expressions.

"Who are you? We've never seen you before. Yao Yao is sleeping and can't receive visitors. Please leave."

Yan Mu refused to go, lingering at the doorway. "No, please let me see her! Just one look! I'm her colleague from the film crew. Please, just let me see her."

Yan Mu herself had suffered some minor scrapes, but nothing serious. When she heard how severe Jiang Cheng's injuries were, she completely lost her composure. She was terrified that Zhi Yao might be in a similar state...

After all, Zhi Yao had helped her twice. No matter what, Yan Mu couldn't bear the thought of Zhi Yao suffering such harm.

She hated herself bitterly, hated that she hadn't done everything in her power to save Zhi Yao at the time.

If something truly terrible had happened to Zhi Yao... Yan Mu couldn't even bring herself to imagine it.

"Just let me see her, please!"

Yan Mu finally broke down. Ignoring Ling San and Ling Si's attempts to stop her, she raised her hands to push past them, trying to force her way in. But Ling San and Ling Si were tall and strong: how could Yan Mu possibly overpower them?

Yan Mu's behavior thoroughly angered Ling San and Ling Si, making them suspect she had ulterior motives. Maybe... maybe she was the mastermind behind the plot to harm Zhi Yao!

Although the film crew kept insisting it was an accident, their instincts told them this didn't seem like an accident... but rather... something deliberate.

The two of them looked at Yan Mu with intense suspicion, making her heart race. Finally, Ling San's expression suddenly changed. "It was you, wasn't it? You're the one trying to hurt our Yao Yao?"

As he spoke, his demeanor became fierce and menacing, no longer restraining the intimidating aura emanating from his body.

In an instant, Yan Mu felt every pore on her body open up, her hair standing on end, her very soul seeming to tremble. This was the instinct ingrained in animals... the instinct when faced with danger.

Terrified, her face turned deathly pale, and in that moment, her ears and tail involuntarily popped out.

This sudden reveal instantly exposed Yan Mu's true identity.

Ling San and Ling Si were both taken aback. They exchanged a glance, their suspicions of Yan Mu growing even stronger. "Well, well! So you're actually a cat spirit?!"

As they spoke, they moved to charge at her, looking as if they intended to tear Yan Mu to pieces.

"Wait!"

Zhi Yao couldn't stand by any longer and hurried to intervene. "What are you doing?!"

"Yao Yao? Yao Yao, why are you up?"

Ling San and Ling Si's attention immediately shifted from Yan Mu to Zhi Yao. They quickly ran to her side, each supporting her on one side, treating her as if she were a fragile piece of crystal.

Zhi Yao was exasperated by their behavior. "Yan Mu is my friend. You don't need to be so on guard."

Friend?

Ling San and Ling Si's doubts weren't completely dispelled. They continued to eye Yan Mu, who remained standing in place, and said, "Where did you meet such a foolish cat spirit? She can't even control her own ears and tail."

Zhi Yao: "..." She suspected they were making a dig at her!

But before Zhi Yao could speak, Yan Mu rushed over to her. She examined Zhi Yao carefully, and seeing that she truly seemed unharmed, finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Yao Yao, are you alright?!"

"I'm fine. Yan Mu, why did you come?"

"I was worried about you." After narrowly escaping herself, she had turned back to see Zhi Yao and Jiang Cheng's condition, and it had nearly scared her out of her wits.

"Let's go inside to talk. I'm getting tired of standing in the doorway."

As she spoke, she moved to invite Yan Mu in. Ling San and Ling Si followed closely behind. Now that Zhi Yao was possibly injured and pregnant, the Ling family had agreed to take turns staying by her side, ensuring her safety until she successfully delivered the baby. Only then would they slightly relax their vigilance.

In their eyes, Zhi Yao was now like a precious crystal ornament: invaluable and fragile.

Zhi Yao found their attitude both amusing and exasperating. "Alright, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you can go about your own business. I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."

How could they not worry?

But before Ling San and Ling Si could respond, Zhi Yao closed the door with a "bang."

Yan Mu placed the fruits and snacks she had brought on Zhi Yao's bedside table, looking at her cautiously as she said, "Yao Yao, I'm so sorry... It's all my fault for not protecting you properly at the time."

She was extremely apologetic, keeping her head lowered, not daring to look at Zhi Yao, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Zhi Yao's eyes lit up the moment she saw the things Yan Mu had brought.

She rummaged through the snack bag, discovering several of her favorites inside. She hurriedly took one out, opened it, and popped it into her mouth to chew. It was delicious.

With her cheeks puffed out as she ate, her words came out muffled, "It's fine, it's fine. Why are you apologizing? You're not the one who tampered with the wire. You don't need to feel sorry at all, okay? This kind of thing, no one wants it to happen."

Zhi Yao spoke rapidly while chewing and swallowing a few bites. Her way of eating made Yan Mu nervous again, afraid that Zhi Yao might choke.

She quickly poured a glass of water for Zhi Yao and handed it to her.

Zhi Yao then asked, "How is Jiang Cheng... doing now?"

"I heard he's still in the ICU."

Yan Mu had just stopped by to take a look, but the person was still unconscious and no one was allowed to visit him.

So...

Zhi Yao also decided to find some time to visit Jiang Cheng. Those two were really unlucky...

She was very fortunate, perhaps because she had spiritual power to protect her, but Jiang Cheng... wasn't so lucky.

Zhi Yao wanted to ask about Jiang Cheng's condition, but when she looked up, she saw Yan Mu with his hands clasped together, a faint white light emanating from his surroundings.

Zhi Yao keenly sensed it - that was the aura of spiritual power.
