Ling Jue lay motionless for a long while, until he heard Zhi Yao's shallow, even breathing right next to him. Only then did he dare to move slightly.
However, the slight movement caused Zhi Yao to frown and subconsciously try to turn over, though she did not wake up.
Frightened, Ling Jue immediately froze once more.
Ling Si was at home today, playing video games until midnight when he suddenly felt a little hungry and decided to go downstairs for a snack.
Little did he expect that as soon as he went downstairs, he saw a large dark figure in the spacious living room. Ling Si flipped the lights on, and the scene before him left him utterly dumbfounded.
This... This...
"Dad, what are you doing lying there?"
Hearing Ling Si's voice, Ling Jue clung to it as if it were his last lifeline, lowering his voice as he said, "Quick, quickly take your sister back to her room!"
Ling Si walked over to Ling Jue in his slippers, puzzled. "Why don't you just wake her up?"
As he spoke, he bent down to wake Zhi Yao, but Ling Jue let out a low growl that nearly scared Ling Si to death.
"You dare!"
Ling Si: "..."
Is she really that precious?! He remembered that when he accidentally fell asleep as a child, his dad would slap him awake and onto the floor.
The commotion completely woke Zhi Yao up.
The little lady rubbed her eyes, still in a daze. "What are you guys doing?"
No sooner had she said that than she grew drowsy again, hugging Ling Jue's neck and nuzzling the fur on his neck, clinging entirely to him.
Seeing this, Ling Jue's heart softened.
"Alright, get out of here. I'll take Yao upstairs myself."
And so... Ling Si watched as a wolf carried a little lady upstairs.
Such is the treatment a daughter receives! From childhood until now, not only had Ling Si never been carried like that, but he had never even touched a single strand of Ling Jue's fur.
Ling Jue carefully set Zhi Yao down on the bed, transformed back into a human, tucked her in, left a warm yellow night light, and only then did he leave, closing the door behind him.
...
At the same time, elsewhere.
Pei Chiyao drove to the address Ling Er had given him.
It was Ling Er's private residence.
Though she had just woken up, Zhi Yi's beauty was undimmed. Her entire body seemed to glow with a soft light, her foxy eyes gazing steadily at Zhi Yao with tenderness.
"Yao, what's wrong?"
She stretched out her arms, beckoning Zhi Yao over.
Zhi Yao glanced at the large lump on the floor, then unhesitatingly stepped over it to climb onto Zhi Yi's bed.
The little lady said to Zhi Yi with a pitiful look, "Mother, I have a lot of fur on me, like dog fur. I can't get it off."
With one look, Zhi Yi recognized that it was not dog fur, but Ling Jue's fur...
Zhi Yi: "..."
"Mother will help you take care of it later."
Hearing this, Zhi Yao finally let out a sigh of relief and said to Zhi Yi, "Thank you, Mother! You're the best. This is the pajamas Pei Chiyao gave me, I really like them!"
The little lady would be very disappointed if she couldn't wear them anymore.
It was a set of pink silk pajamas with two long floppy bunny ears on the back, very cute.
Zhi Yi reached out and stroked Zhi Yao's head, gently asking, "Baby, why don't you sleep a little longer? You woke up so early."
Zhi Yao didn't know either - she usually slept until late morning, but today she just suddenly woke up.
And... her heart kept pounding rapidly, as if... something was about to happen, making her feel a little afraid.
"Mother," Zhi Yao said in a very soft voice next to Zhi Yi's ear. "Mother, I'm a bit worried about Pei Chiyao."
Pei Chiyao?
Zhi Yi raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with him?"
Zhi Yao then told Zhi Yi everything Pei Chiyao had said, especially emphasizing that Zhi Yao was not allowed to go out for the next few days.
"I can stay inside, but... will Pei Chiyao be in danger? Will Second Brother also be in danger?"
The little lady said worriedly.
"Don't be afraid," Zhi Yi gently comforted Zhi Yao. "If you're really worried..."
She didn't continue speaking, but instead bent down, picked up a slipper from the floor, and with a "whap" sound, threw it at Ling Jue, who was laying on a makeshift bed.
The slipper landed squarely on Ling Jue's head.
With a "thump," Ling Jue immediately scrambled up from the floor, "Zhi Yi, what's wrong Zhi Yi? Do you need water? I'll go get you some right now."
Saying that, he was about to go out.
