"Mmph!"
Zhi Yao struggled desperately, waving her paws and legs, trying in vain to break free from the person's restraint.
"Goodness! This is the young master's lunch! How could it become like this?!" The voice of another maid trembled.
Pei Chiyao's mood fluctuated wildly... The aura surrounding him was so chilling, it made one shudder just thinking about it!
"Hurry and take away these dishes! Throw this dead fox out! Don't you know the young master hates these furry things the most?"
Resentment filled the voice behind him.
Zhi Yao struggled desperately, "Mmph!" Don't take it away! She hadn't eaten her fill yet!
"I'll throw the fox out right away!"
Zhi Yao, a tiny bundle, was carried away by the scruff. The little one looked around desperately, hoping to find Pei Chiyao to call for help.
But this place was so huge, no matter how much she screamed her throat raw, she didn't see any sign of Pei Chiyao.
"Wah~"
Could it be that her fate with Pei Chiyao ended here?
Come to think of it, she was rather reluctant to part with him... Where could she go? Her fox parents were gone, and her fellow foxes had all been caught by humans.
It seemed... Pei Chiyao was her only family left in this world.
Just as Zhi Yao was lost in thought, a clear female voice suddenly rang out.
"Stop right there, what do you have in your hand?"
The maid immediately halted her steps, respectfully saying, "Miss, I don't know where this fox came from, I was just about to throw it out."
Fox?
With one glance, Pei Ning saw the snowy white furball with delicate pink complexion in the maid's hand. Especially the jade pendant around its neck, it was clear at a glance that it must be valuable.
A fox wearing such an expensive jade pendant couldn't possibly be a wild one!
In this mansion where only the rich and noble lived, it must be a lost pet of some family.
"Give it to me."
Pei Ning held out her hand.
The maid hesitated, "Miss, this fox is dirty, it probably has bugs all over..."
"I said give it to me!" Pei Ning suddenly sharpened her tone, "It looks very clean to me, cleaner than you."
The fur was so soft and white. As soon as Pei Ning took Zhi Yao, she smelled a faint scent of sandalwood on her.
Such a familiar smell...
However, Pei Ning didn't have time to ponder further.
She had been utterly enchanted by Zhi Yao!
Too too too cute!
Zhi Yao was still whimpering, "!@#¥#@!"
When Pei Ning opened her eyes again, she thought she was dreaming.
What did she see???
What did she see!!!
Huh?!
Pei Chiyao was gently holding the little fox, while its front paws clung to his shoulder, chattering away, occasionally glancing back at the maid behind her.
It was as if... telling on her.
And Pei Chiyao just listened quietly, the corners of his lips even curving up slightly.
Pei Ning rubbed her eyes in disbelief, even pinching her thigh.
This world is doomed!
She had to accept one fact: This beautiful little fox actually belonged to Pei Chiyao!!
Impossible!
Illogical!
Finally, Zhi Yao nuzzled Pei Chiyao's ear with her head, a hint of ingratiation.
She didn't want to leave Pei Chiyao again.
"Spoiled thing." Pei Chiyao gently poked Zhi Yao's little nose. "I know."
The instant his gaze left the little fox, it turned icy cold.
He looked at the maid from before. "You don't need to come tomorrow."
In an instant, the maid paled in fright. "No, no, young master, I didn't know this was your fox!"
After all, servants were informed from their first day working for the Pei family—not a single hair was allowed in the Pei household.
Who could have imagined Pei Chiyao would suddenly keep a fox? And one with so much fur! It could shed over ten strands with one shake.
"Mmph mmph mmph!" Zhi Yao also panicked. She only wanted the maid to apologize, not cost someone their job!
She quickly looked to Pei Chiyao, chattering at his ear.
Pei Chiyao sighed, "You're so hard to please."
Hearing this, Zhi Yao instantly puffed up her cheeks angrily.
She wasn't hard to please at all! It was clearly Pei Chiyao who didn't understand her meaning!
Her golden eyes clearly expressed three words—it's all your fault.
Pei Chiyao laughed lightly, "Now it's become my fault?"
"Fine, apologize to her."
Otherwise, who knew what this ancestor would stir up.
The maid's mind blanked instantly.
Apo...apologize to a fox?
