Chapter 210
The young girl's body trembled nervously, but... the expected event never happened.
Because...
"Huh? Why won't it open? It doesn't seem to be locked... is the door broken?"
Ling Si shook the door forcefully a couple of times.
"Yao Yao, Pei Chiyao, are you in there? If you are, just make a sound!"
But still, no one answered.
After a while, Ling Si left, muttering to himself.
Once he was completely gone, Zhi Yao finally let out a sigh of relief, breathing heavily. Her eyes were filled with emotion and glistening with moisture. The young girl glared at Pei Chiyao resentfully and said, "Pei Chiyao! You're so annoying, you scared me to death!"
Pei Chiyao chuckled softly, his voice both alluring and husky, "I wouldn't dare let anyone else see you like this. Look at yourself in the mirror, you're so beautiful."
Hearing this, Zhi Yao suddenly turned to look at herself in the mirror.
Her golden eyes sparkled, filled with glimmering light, incredibly lively. More dangerously, her cheeks were flushed red, looking utterly shy, which only made one want to... tease her even more.
As she gazed at the mirror, the man behind her had his eyes locked firmly on her.
While the young girl was lost in thought, Pei Chiyao unexpectedly bit her rosy earlobe, startling Zhi Yao.
"You're mine."
His eyes flashed with an abnormal darkness, as black as ink.
"Baby, you're mine, mine alone."
He murmured softly, as if he wanted to devour Zhi Yao right then and there.
But... considering the child in her belly, Pei Chiyao restrained himself.
He nuzzled her neck anxiously, "Yao Yao, kiss me."
He suddenly felt very insecure. His Yao Yao was so beautiful, what if someone took her away?
He would surely go mad.
Zhi Yao had grown accustomed to Pei Chiyao's behavior. She raised her hand and gently stroked his head, her movements tender, "Mm, I'm yours. Don't be afraid, I won't leave."
She had been angry just moments ago, but seeing Pei Chiyao so vulnerable and insecure, Zhi Yao's heart softened again.
She knew that her life was over.
She had completely fallen for Pei Chiyao.
When they finally emerged from the bathroom after their intimate moment, half an hour had passed.
The big white cat was lying on the hospital bed, its gaze avoiding Zhi Yao's eyes.
Zhi Yao immediately realized that cats have excellent hearing. She wondered when Yan Mu had woken up. Surely... she hadn't heard everything that happened between her and Pei Chiyao in the bathroom!
Oh no! This was too embarrassing!
The young girl suddenly couldn't look Yan Mu in the eye either.
Pei Chiyao, on the other hand, walked straight to the bed, unhesitatingly lifted the sheets, shooed Yan Mu away, and then stripped off all the bedding and threw it on the floor. "Change everything. We'll stay for two more days to make sure your body is completely fine, then we'll leave."
Zhi Yao: "..."
Yan Mu: "..." Damn it! She was clean, okay? As a human, she bathed and scrubbed daily, and as a cat, she groomed herself three times a day. How could this person... how could he be so disgusted by her!
Yan Mu wanted to pounce on him and scratch him.
But...
When Pei Chiyao cast a glance her way, she was so frightened that her fur stood on end.
This... blood lineage suppression from deep within was truly terrifying.
In reality, Pei Chiyao hadn't even looked at her properly.
He got up, walked past Yan Mu, and gestured for Zhi Yao to sit on the sofa.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Pei Chiyao's suddenly serious expression, Zhi Yao felt a bit nervous.
Could it be... could it be related to the film crew?
"Mm, you've guessed correctly."
Zhi Yao was very pure, with all her thoughts written on her face.
"It is related to the film crew."
Pei Chiyao poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Zhi Yao, asking, "Yao Yao, when the incident happened, did you feel anything unusual?"
Unusual?
Zhi Yao shook her head, it didn't seem like it...
But then, her keen sixth sense seemed to remind her of something – the appearance of He Kaiting!
The young girl suddenly looked up at Pei Chiyao and asked, "Do you know something? Was it... He Kaiting who did it?"
Pei Chiyao lowered his eyes in thought, "Mm. I had someone investigate the film crew, and they quickly discovered that the props team and the martial arts instructor had been bought off by He Kaiting."
Zhi Yao frowned, "Why does she keep targeting me like this? Just because... you like me?"
At this, Pei Chiyao felt immense regret. Fortunately, Zhi Yao hadn't been hurt or met with an accident. If he had known earlier, he should have had someone deal with He Kaiting.
To avoid all future risks.
Luckily... truly luckily... it wasn't Zhi Yao who was hurt this time, but another male actor.
"I'm sorry."
He lowered his gaze, very seriously apologizing to Zhi Yao, "I'm sorry, Yao Yao. It's my fault. This kind of situation won't happen again."
His sudden apology startled Zhi Yao.
At that moment, the white cat Yan Mu also spoke up, "Yes, I can confirm it was He Kaiting. When I was hooked up to the wire, I saw her exchange a look with the martial arts instructor. I didn't understand it then, but now I realize..."
After a long silence following these words, Zhi Yao didn't speak.
Until...
The young girl suddenly remembered something, "Pei Chiyao, at that time, I felt like there was a force protecting me..."
She had been dizzy from the fall, her consciousness blurry, but Zhi Yao could still feel that just as her body was about to be impacted, a very gentle force had protected her.
Pei Chiyao smiled, "You finally noticed?"
Zhi Yao was surprised, "Was it you?"
"Not me. Who do you think could protect you at all times?"
Zhi Yao thought for a long while but couldn't figure it out.
Until Pei Chiyao tapped her forehead hard, "Silly, it's our little one."
Little one?!
The Dragon Cub!!
As a dragon offspring, it actually had consciousness very early on, and its power had manifested even while still in the womb.
When its mother was in danger, it could automatically sense it.
Hearing this, Zhi Yao's eyes widened, "Won't it be harmed?"
Although he didn't want to discourage Zhi Yao, Pei Chiyao still chose to tell her the truth, "Baby, you can feel it, can't you? When he was in your belly, his spiritual power was actually stronger than yours."
Zhi Yao: "..."
She seemed... to indeed be able to feel it...
How disheartening! It was just an embryo!! And it was already more powerful than her?
She really was a top-tier good-for-nothing, waa!
Seeing the young girl's dejected expression, Pei Chiyao gently rubbed Zhi Yao's head and comforted her, "It's alright. This is good too. With him by your side, I'll feel more at ease."
