Chapter 75
Zhi Yao was truly overjoyed. After all, in her eyes, all words related to foxes were compliments!
Their fox clan were the most wonderful, adorable, and beautiful creatures in the whole world!
At this moment, Zhi Yao's fondness for humans reached its peak!
She took out her phone and handed it to Pei Chiyao, saying, "I just heard everything! Turn on the internet quickly, I want to post on Weibo!"
Seeing that Zhi Yao wouldn't give up unless he opened the WiFi, Pei Chiyao compromised.
The first thing the little girl did after getting online was to post a Weibo update.
Older Brother Sun looked at Zhi Yao curiously, wanting to lean over and see, but he had barely taken a step when he received Pei Chiyao's slightly oppressive gaze, and he immediately dared not move.
After posting on Weibo, Zhi Yao was in a good mood. "Mother will be so happy to see so many people praising me."
Older Brother Sun couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips. After seeing the Weibo post Zhi Yao made, he almost fainted.
Zhi Yao: "Thank you all for praising me! Little foxes are especially cute little animals, hehe, I also think I look like a little fox, we're both very charming!"
As soon as this Weibo post was made, Zhi Yao was instantly bombarded with insults.
Some called her sly and odd, others said she was mentally ill.
Pei Chiyao calmly took away Zhi Yao's phone, not planning to let her see it again.
"Older Brother Sun, look into who's behind that marketing account and who provided those recordings, and invite Lu Yi to the studio to give her a warm welcome," Pei Chiyao calmly instructed.
In fact, internet bullying is honestly something that won't bother you if you're mentally strong enough. Pei Chiyao was like that.
And someone like Zhi Yao... who doesn't understand anything and can't even tell that people are insulting her, Pei Chiyao felt it was rather nice.
He had originally worried that Zhi Yao would be upset.
Sighing, he got up and walked over to Zhi Yao, pinching her soft cheek and saying, "Once the filming is done, is there any reward you want?"
A reward?
Upon hearing this, Zhi Yao's eyes instantly lit up. "Really? I can have a reward?"
Pei Chiyao nodded. Actually, there were many advertisement endorsements that had contacted Zhi Yao, and even some minor variety shows, but after this incident, those advertisers and program crews immediately withdrew their invitations.
He had been planning to gradually retire from the entertainment industry anyway, so once Legend of the Fox Demon wrapped up filming, Pei Chiyao would finally have some free time to spend properly with the little girl.
Zhi Yao thought for a moment, then said, "I want to drink ten cups of milk tea!"
Pei Chiyao: "..."
How unambitious!
He frowned at Zhi Yao and tapped her forehead. "Baby, can we have a more sophisticated wish?"
Zhi Yao covered her forehead and glared at Pei Chiyao. "What's not high-class about milk tea?"
Milk tea is the absolute best drink in the world!
After gazing at Zhi Yao for a while, a thought suddenly occurred to Pei Chiyao. "I'll take you to drink something else."
Something else?
Zhi Yao couldn't help but feel a little excited. "Better than milk tea?"
"I think so."
With those words, Zhi Yao was instantly impatient! She had never met anyone more discerning than Pei Chiyao. Something that Pei Chiyao considered delicious must be even more delicious!
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now!" She tried to pull Pei Chiyao out the door, but no matter how hard she tugged, he didn't budge.
When she turned to look at him, Pei Chiyao could only feel exasperated. "We haven't changed clothes yet."
She was still wearing her pajamas.
Zhi Yao slapped her forehead. "Oh right!"
She almost forgot!
She let go of his hand and was about to go upstairs to change when suddenly, she felt her body lighten as Pei Chiyao picked her up and carried her upstairs. "Be good, I'll help you change."
Zhi Yao only felt a sense of foreboding, but before she could refuse, she was pinned by Pei Chiyao against the door of the dressing room, kissed until she couldn't utter a single word.
...
It took almost an hour to change just one set of clothes before they finally left.
Zhi Yao wore a hat and mask, bundled up tightly by Pei Chiyao.
Winter had arrived, and the weather was even colder.
She huddled inside Pei Chiyao's coat, basking in his warmth, not feeling cold at all.
In the past when she spent winters with Mother, Mother would also wrap her tightly with her big fluffy tail. Mother had nine tails, and Zhi Yao's favorite thing was to slide down Mother's tails like they were a playground slide.
During winter, Mother's tails were the warmest blanket for her.
The little girl watched the scattered snowflakes outside the window, her thoughts drifting far, far away...
Mother, where are you?
She couldn't help but sniffle, really... really missing Mother so much.
"What's wrong?" Her barely noticeable movement immediately caught Pei Chiyao's attention.
Zhi Yao was sitting on his lap, her head buried in his chest as she shook her head. "No... nothing..."
She didn't want anyone to know about Mother.
But what Zhi Yao didn't know was that even if she didn't say anything, Pei Chiyao had already figured it out.
The little girl herself didn't realize that whenever she showed this sad and nostalgic expression, she must be thinking about her mom, right?
He didn't press further, his large hand gently patting Zhi Yao's back in a comforting manner.
Soon, the car came to a stop.
It was only then that Zhi Yao's attention was finally pulled away from her heavy thoughts, looking outside.
Pei Chiyao had already picked her up, her whole body buried in his warm coat, only her head peeking out. Her appearance was reminiscent of when she transformed into a little fox and burrowed into Pei Chiyao's shirt.
The difference was... this time Zhi Yao was very obedient.
The club's doorman immediately noticed Pei Chiyao, quickly running over with an umbrella to welcome him. "Mr. Pei, the usual arrangement?"
Pei Chiyao gave a slight nod, his voice calm and cold. "Yes, have all your signature services ready for me today."
"Understood."
The doorman responded respectfully.
This was Zhi Yao's first time at this club. She curiously looked around and couldn't help asking, "Why did you bring me here?"
"To meet a few of my friends."
Friends?
Zhi Yao's eyes widened, accidentally blurting out her thoughts. "You have friends too?"
"What? Do I seem so unfriendly to you?"
Zhi Yao quickly shook her head. "No, no, I like you."
It's just that Pei Chiyao usually seemed so cold and aloof, and he rarely socialized with others, so Zhi Yao couldn't imagine he would have friends.
Although he knew Zhi Yao's 'like' was different from the way he liked her, Pei Chiyao still couldn't help but feel his mood improve from the little girl's words.
"I knew them from when I was abroad before. Recently, they've also returned to the country."
That group was insistent on seeing what kind of person could make the almighty Pei Chiyao so infatuated, which is why he brought Zhi Yao here.
And at the same time...
Thinking of this, Pei Chiyao couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He had to investigate Xie Qinzhou's background.
