The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot - C.178: Let’s Get Married

"Baby, if we're going to have a child, we can't waste the opportunity."

Pei Chiyao whispered softly in Zhi Yao's ear, "Be good, bear with me..."

Zhi Yao was close to a breakdown, "I don't want to have one anymore, I don't want it..."

The night was still long.

...

When Zhi Yao woke up again, her whole body felt sore and weak, as if she had been beaten up, with no strength left.

Pei Chiyao... she really fell for his trickery!

No! No! This time, she really had to run away from home!!!

If this continued, she would die.

The young girl struggled to sit up, and as she did, she realized that she wasn't at home, but in a hotel?

It was the hotel she had taken a liking to, intending to hide from Pei Chiyao, but unexpectedly, Pei Chiyao had brought her here.

She was sitting on the bed, dazed, when the bathroom door suddenly opened, and Pei Chiyao emerged, looking refreshed as if he had just finished showering.

He stood in stark contrast to Zhi Yao, who lay on the bed, barely able to move.

Zhi Yao: "..."

She had reason to suspect that Pei Chiyao was actually a fox spirit! And one that had drained her of all her energy, at that.

Seeing the young girl staring blankly at him, Pei Chiyao immediately strode over and said, "Yao, you're awake? Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

Zhi Yao didn't want to eat anything.

She glared fiercely at the man, turned her head away, and didn't want to say a word.

"How about some milk tea? Or a hot pot?"

Milk tea? Hot pot?

Upon hearing those two words, Zhi Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, but she still remembered she was angry and didn't immediately forgive Pei Chiyao. Instead, she said, "I want two full-sugar pearl milk teas with pudding and popping boba!"

"For the hot pot, I want a spicy broth, with beef, tripe, potatoes, fish balls..."

She rambled on, listing a long list of dishes, until her throat was dry.

Pei Chiyao picked up a nearby glass of water and helped the young girl drink a couple sips. "Mmhmm, got it."

Got it?

Zhi Yao took small sips of water, suddenly feeling less angry.

That man was even smiling ever so gently, "Are you sore? Yesterday... I couldn't control myself."

When has he ever controlled himself? Every time, it's as if he hasn't eaten for three days and three nights.

Zhi Yao had been exhausted by him to the point of collapse.

"Let me take a look?"

He moved to lift the blanket, but Zhi Yao dared not let Pei Chiyao do so, quickly covering herself, "Don't look, don't look!"

She suddenly reached out her hand, her palm white and soft, which made Pei Chiyao's heart stir, and he couldn't resist leaning down to gently kiss her palm.

Her body was fragrant and soft, even her palm had a sweet, alluring scent.

Zhi Yao was afraid Pei Chiyao would lose control of himself, so she quickly pulled her hand back, "Who said you could kiss it? I was asking you for money! I still owe Sister Su over a hundred dollars!"

Zhi Yao only realized this time when she ran away from home that she was truly poor, so poor that she had nothing, not even money for transportation, which Sister Su had helped her pay for.

She started to feel a sense of crisis. No, no, this wouldn't do!

Thinking of this, Zhi Yao remembered her acting fee, which Pei Chiyao had taken from her!

"Pei Chiyao, you big liar! What about my acting fee? You're just using me! Not only did you make me dumb, but you're not even giving me money! Are you planning to kick me to the curb once you've had enough of playing with me?!"

Using her?

Pei Chiyao nearly laughed out loud.

But Zhi Yao did seem genuinely angry.

He couldn't help but let out a light chuckle, "Why do you need money? You're with me every day, aren't you?"

"Hmph, yesterday at Sister Su's, I watched a TV show where the male lead was very rich. He gave the female lead a black card that Sister Su said had a lot, a lot of money in it, so much that you could never spend it all. I'm not even asking you for that, just give me my acting fee, which should be at least a few thousand, right?"

She had worked quite hard on the filming, after all.

A few thousand?

This little fox really had no concept of money.

"Why won't you give me the money? How can you be so stingy? I won't have children for you if you won't even give me money."

How come it was so easy for others to ask for money, but so difficult for her? And she was just asking for the money she had earned herself!

"Baby, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you." Seeing the young girl didn't seem keen on talking to him, Pei Chiyao finally stopped entertaining the thought of teasing Zhi Yao and got up to find his wallet.

Zhi Yao secretly glanced at Pei Chiyao, already calculating in her mind how many cups of milk tea a few thousand could buy.

She really wanted to drink some!

She felt like her blood was made of milk tea.

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands...

She counted on her fingers, but before she could reach a conclusion, something dark was suddenly handed to her.

The young girl looked up, completely shocked.

Black cards?

There were rows of black cards?

One, two, three, four, five, six... a total of ten cards?

She looked at Pei Chiyao in a daze, unable to say a word for a moment.

"Which one do you like? Or do you like them all? I'll give you all of them."

Pei Chiyao knew that Zhi Yao, this little fool, would only spend the money on buying food, and probably just wanted the money to secretly snack behind his back.

Zhi Yao's hand trembled as she picked up one of the cards and stared at it for a long time. It had strange symbols on it, unlike when Sister Su paid, where numbers would be displayed.

How does one use this?

But she couldn't ask, or she would seem particularly stupid.

She was smart now, very, very smart!

The young girl arrogantly stretched out her hand and took all ten cards, "I want them all!"

"Then they're all yours."

He reached out and ruffled Zhi Yao's hair.

What Pei Chiyao didn't tell her was that he had set aside a large sum of money for her, more than the total amount in all those cards combined.

He was truly afraid of the events of his past life repeating themselves. If anything happened... if he went ahead of Zhi Yao again, then this money should allow the young girl to live a decent life.

Moreover, Zhi Yao now had parents, so no one would bully her anymore.

The silly, naive young girl cradled the stack of black cards, even secretly taking a bite out of one.

Watching Zhi Yao's antics, Pei Chiyao's heart nearly melted into a puddle.

He didn't even want to have little fox cubs anymore, because Zhi Yao... she was his most beloved little fox.

His most beloved cub.

"Baby, let's get married."

He suddenly blurted out these words, leaving Zhi Yao stunned.

Get... married?

She looked up at Pei Chiyao in a daze, "How do we get married? Does getting married mean getting betrothed?"

She didn't quite understand marriage, but she knew the meaning of getting betrothed.

"Yes, getting betrothed."
