The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

Chapter 89-90

Chapter 89

The words had just left his mouth when Ling Jue's expression turned sharp and unsightly.

Almost in an instant, Zhi Yao felt as if the air around her had solidified. She trembled all over, her knees went weak, and her subconscious urged her to kneel before him!

Was this... a wolf?

Just as Zhi Yao was at a loss, a man who looked somewhat similar to Ling Jue hurried over and whispered something in Ling Jue's ear. Ling Jue's face changed dramatically.

He turned to leave, but after taking a step, he seemed to remember something and looked at Zhi Yao, asking, "What's your name?"

Zhi Yao bit her lip, clutching the Jade Pendant tightly in her palm, refusing to say a word for fear that he might try to seize it.

"Not telling? Then you're not leaving this place today!" he instructed the man beside him, "Find a way to get that jade pendant."

With that, he strode away.

The man nodded slightly, then looked at Zhi Yao, feeling a sense of recognition.

"Miss, haven't we met somewhere before?"

He had a feeling... that she looked familiar.

Zhi Yao eyed him warily without responding.

Seeing her awkwardly hiding the Jade Pendant, the man couldn't help but smile. "My father is like that, stopping at nothing to get what he wants. Don't take it personally. Since this is your treasured possession, I won't forcibly take it from you."

He shrugged, his smile a little helpless, as if with regret, "This is, after all, a society under the rule of law."

Father?

Zhi Yao was surprised to hear this and scrutinized the man more carefully.

Although his demeanor seemed less fierce than Ling Jue's, the occasional flashes in his eyes betrayed his ambition.

He was a wolf too!

Zhi Yao's alarms rang loudly.

Ling Si, however, found Zhi Yao intriguing. Not only was she cute and adorable like a bun, but most importantly... he finally realized who she resembled.

His mother.

It was well known that the Ling family treasured their mother above all else, and this little girl happened to share some resemblance with her. This stirred a sense of protectiveness in Ling Si, making it impossible for him to harm Zhi Yao.

Just then, Pei Chiyao realized that Zhi Yao was no longer following him and hurried back.

He had meant to hold her hand, but when he turned around, she was nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, she hadn't wandered far.

He pulled the little girl behind him, meeting Ling Si's inquisitive gaze. "Mr. Ling Si, long time no see."

Ling Si raised his glass, exchanging a few pleasantries with Pei Chiyao.

He tilted his chin toward Zhi Yao behind Pei Chiyao and asked, "Mr. Pei, is she your..."

"Wife," Pei Chiyao said openly. "Or rather... fiancée."

This time, it was Zhi Yao who was shocked.

Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Pei Chiyao.

Ling Si was also slightly surprised since he was a prominent figure in the Ling family and recognized most of the socialites' faces.

But he had never seen Zhi Yao before.
