Chapter 176: Abandoned Puppy
Chapter 176
Sister Su watched as Zhi Yao indulged in letting herself go, already starting to shiver, wondering if Pei Chiyao would see this scene... would he completely kill her?
She hurried over to Zhi Yao's side and said, "Ancestor, my little ancestor, don't eat anymore. If you keep eating, when Pei Chiyao finds out you came here, he'll definitely kill me. He's so smart, he'll figure out you came to me very quickly."
After all, Zhi Yao didn't have many friends, just her to chat with.
Zhi Yao had just stuffed a potato chip into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out like a little squirrel. "I thought of that already, so..."
Zhi Yao reached out her hand to Sister Su, "Lend me some more money, and let's get a room. He definitely won't find us."
Sister Su: "..." If she really went with Zhi Yao to get a room, it wouldn't even be a question of whether she'd live or die—Pei Chiyao would dig her out of her grave and reduce her to ashes.
"No, no, Yao Yao, if you really think of me as a friend, hurry and go back."
Given how completely Pei Chiyao treated Zhi Yao like his treasure, these two actually managed to fight?
"I'm not going back!" Zhi Yao was determined. "Pei Chiyao is too mean. He deliberately made me stupid so I can't leave him, but I'm a dignified fox... person! From now on, I absolutely won't listen to Pei Chiyao! I'll be my own master!"
Sister Su: "???"
Sister Su was completely confused, having no idea what this little ancestor was ranting about.
Zhi Yao grabbed Sister Su and said, "Quick, let's go, or he'll come here soon. Don't worry, I'll pay you back the money I borrow from you. After I make money working in entertainment, I'll take care of you! You'll be my woman!"
For some reason, this time Zhi Yao came, Sister Su felt like she had become even more stupid.
She wanted to persuade Zhi Yao to go back, or secretly stall for time, but for some reason, Zhi Yao's strength suddenly became immense. Without a word, she picked up Sister Su and carried her to the door.
As the elevator descended, Zhi Yao browsed on her phone for a bit, planning to find a nearby hotel to hide in first. She randomly found one that didn't seem too expensive and said to Sister Su, "Sister Su, let's go with this one, it's not too pricey."
Sister Su leaned over to look, and her soul nearly jumped out of her body.
55555... 50,000?!
50,000 for one night?! She had just said it's not too expensive?!
No wonder she's Pei Chiyao's woman, to Zhi Yao money was probably just a number. Oh god! This precious little ancestor, she couldn't afford to take care of her! Only Pei Chiyao could probably afford it.
With the elevator's "ding dong" sound, the doors opened. Zhi Yao was obliviously looking at her phone, not noticing the person standing outside at all.
She walked out while browsing her phone, "But the reviews say the food at this hotel isn't that great, how about this one instead?"
"Yao... Yao Yao..."
Sister Su raised a trembling hand and poked Zhi Yao's arm.
"What is it?"
As she looked up, the little lady immediately saw the stern figure standing at the elevator entrance.
The man wore an ash gray coat, hands in his pockets. There were still some water stains on his shoulders, clearly having rushed over through the snow that had just melted. fr𝚎𝗲𝐰ebnov𝐞𝐥.𝐜o𝗺
His deep eyes stared unblinkingly at Zhi Yao. Zhi Yao stood there, silent.
His gaze then shifted to Sister Su.
Under Pei Chiyao's gaze that seemed to condemn a person to torture, Sister Su couldn't even last three seconds before confessing, "Yao... Lord Yao, I'll come clean. She drank two bubble teas today, ate three bags of spicy strips, a bag of potato chips, and even had ice cream! And then... the room, I was coerced, you you you... don't come after me, I'm out of here!"
As soon as she finished, Sister Su rushed back into the elevator at lightning speed, pressing her own floor number. Her speed was so fast it was like double speed, as if a wolf was chasing after her.
"Hey, Sister Su, how could you not wait for me!"
Before Zhi Yao's words could finish, the elevator doors had closed, leaving only Zhi Yao standing there, facing Pei Chiyao.
She watched helplessly as the elevator went up, then looked at the man standing before her, suddenly feeling like a little mouse whose tail had been caught, unable to stop herself from retreating two steps.
But after taking those two steps back, Zhi Yao suddenly thought, wait, why am I afraid?
"Why... why are you looking at me like that! I'm eating, it's not going into your stomach." She glared angrily at Pei Chiyao.
But unexpectedly... Pei Chiyao actually laughed. "Yao Yao, is this all you're capable of?"
She did say she would become smart, but Pei Chiyao had really believed her trick.
She didn't want to stay by his side, didn't want to be controlled by him, but the first thing she did to escape him was... secretly drink bubble tea?
"What are you laughing at!"
Zhi Yao's face immediately reddened. Besides eating, she didn't have any other hobbies.
"Don't laugh!"
But the angrier and more flustered the little lady became, the more heartily Pei Chiyao laughed.
Zhi Yao was so angry that she rushed up and covered Pei Chiyao's mouth with her hand. "Don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh! I drank your family's bubble tea?"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." He finally managed to stop laughing, lowering his gaze to see Zhi Yao leaning her whole body against him, standing on her tiptoes to cover his mouth, and a flash of light crossed the man's eyes.
In the next second, he threw Zhi Yao over his shoulder. "You wanted to get a room, didn't you? I'll satisfy you."
After a dizzying whirl, it took Zhi Yao a while to react. "I don't want to! I'm not getting a room with you, you stinky rascal! Let me go, Pei Chiyao, I want to break up with you. What right do you have to always control me!"
Break up?
Pei Chiyao's good mood vanished instantly. He raised his hand and smacked Zhi Yao's plump bottom hard. "Say those two words again, and today I'll make sure you can't get out of bed."
Zhi Yao immediately shut up.
She... was still in pain, she really couldn't provoke this dragon in its faqing period.
After all, his was... too... extreme.
The little lady was on the verge of tears.
"Pei Chiyao, you can't!"
She kicked her legs frantically, but even if Zhi Yao's strength had increased, she was like a child throwing a tantrum to Pei Chiyao.
"Baby, stop fussing."
Pei Chiyao sighed, putting Zhi Yao in the backseat, "What do I have to do for you to calm down? You don't want to see me that badly?"
Zhi Yao didn't know if it was her illusion, but at that moment, Pei Chiyao seemed unusually dejected.
He hung his head, his whole figure hidden in the darkness, with his bangs still damp.
He looked... he looked like a little puppy abandoned by its owner.
