Zhi Yao suddenly rushed into the bathroom, startling Fifteen so much that he quickly ran after her, shouting, "Mommy! Are you okay?"
Zhi Yao was dizzy and nauseous from vomiting, feeling terribly uncomfortable. But seeing Fifteen's worried expression, she forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Mommy's fine."
She silently counted the foods she had eaten today, and upon reflection, Zhi Yao realized she might have indeed eaten too many different things.
First, she had an ice pop in the morning, followed by a pack of spicy snacks, and then various fried chicken and pizza...
Who wouldn't throw up after all that!
But Zhi Yao couldn't be blad entirely. After all, it was rare for Pei Chiyao to be out, and she had seized this opportunity to indulge in forbidden foods.
When Pei Chiyao was at ho, he strictly controlled Zhi Yao's three als a day... Let alone ice pops and spicy snacks, she couldn't even touch anything slightly spicy or greasy.
This made Zhi Yao feel that life was utterly dull!
What's the point of living if you can't eat spicy snacks?!
Zhi Yao returned to the sofa looking pale, but as soon as her gaze fell on the plate of fried chicken on the coffee table, the nauseous feeling surged up again.
Zhi Yao threw up once more, violently.
Her first thought was: It's over.
Not that her body was done for, but that she was in trouble.
When Pei Chiyao ca back and saw how she had recklessly indulged, he would surely punish her severely.
No... this wouldn't do!
Compared to being punished by Pei Chiyao, Zhi Yao would rather endure physical discomfort.
Just as she walked out of the bathroom, she saw that Fifteen had already cleaned up and thrown away the fried chicken on the table. Fifteen, extrely worried, hugged Zhi Yao's legs and nuzzled her with his little horns, "Mommy, are you feeling really bad?"
Fifteen looked at Zhi Yao with tears in his eyes. Seeing Zhi Yao in distress was more painful for him than if he were suffering himself.
If only he could... he'd rather be the one feeling this awful.
"Mommy..."
Zhi Yao's heart nearly lted seeing Fifteen like this.
She reached down to pat Fifteen's head and sat him on her lap, "It's okay, it's okay. Mommy just ate too many different things today. It's nothing serious, don't worry."
"Mm-hmm!"
Fifteen responded, but his eyes still brimd with concern as he looked at Zhi Yao.
"Fifteen..." Zhi Yao hesitated for a long while before speaking, "Don't tell your daddy about this. Mommy's fine, and you mustn't tell daddy that Mommy ate spicy snacks, ice pops, fried chicken, and pizza today, okay?"
"But..."
Fifteen was genuinely worried about his mommy's health.
However, before he could finish, Zhi Yao put on a pitiful expression, "You don't want Mommy to be punished by Daddy, do you?"
In this family, while Zhi Yao seed to have the highest status, in reality... the one at the top of the food chain was Pei Chiyao.
For other matters, Zhi Yao could use her charm and coquettishness to get Pei Chiyao to agree, but when it ca to health, Pei Chiyao wouldn't budge an inch.
It had been a year since Zhi Yao gave birth, yet Pei Chiyao still strictly controlled her diet and daily routine.
Making her eat bland food every day was one thing, but he also dragged her out of bed at six every morning to run, not letting her rest until she completed 800 ters.
It was... it was worse than a demon!!!
Zhi Yao really wanted to cry...
She was a fox spirit, with no need for postpartum confinent, and had basically recovered in a month or two. Yet Pei Chiyao treated her like she was made of glass, claiming: "Your stamina is too poor, passing out after just an hour every night. We must strengthen your endurance."
Now, Zhi Yao could last two hours before passing out.
But... but this wasn't benefiting Zhi Yao at all!
The one reaping all the benefits while pretending to be considerate was Pei Chiyao, wasn't it!
Seeing the fear in Zhi Yao's eyes, Fifteen's heart softened and ached for her.
He hugged Zhi Yao tightly and said, "Don't worry, Mommy! Fifteen will grow up quickly! Then, I'll be in charge of this family, and Mommy can eat whatever she wants! We won't have to worry about Daddy's mood anymore!"
"Good boy!"
Zhi Yao touched Fifteen's head, moved by his words. "Mommy will wait for you to grow up."
"Mm!" Fifteen clenched his fist, looking at Zhi Yao with determination.
With Fifteen's help in cleaning up the cri scene, the empty bags of spicy snacks and ice pops in the trash can were quickly disposed of without a trace.
She had to admit, she really did give birth to a wonderful son!
Around six in the evening, Pei Chiyao returned ho right on ti.
These days, his work wasn't as busy as before.
He mostly worked from ho, and even when he had to go out, he would return before dinner.
Pei Chiyao knew that his little wife had terrible self-control, so he had to supervise her als.
As soon as Pei Chiyao walked in, Zhi Yao felt a bit guilty, but thanks to a signal from Fifteen, she managed not to give herself away.
Zhi Yao hurriedly walked over and hugged Pei Chiyao, nuzzling against his chest, "Darling, I missed you so much."
Fifteen: "..."
He really wanted to tell Mommy — "Unsolicited enthusiasm is either a trick or a trap."
Obviously, Pei Chiyao also noticed sothing unusual about Zhi Yao.
He handed his coat to the servant and wrapped an arm around Zhi Yao's slender, soft waist, saying, "What's this? Did you sneak so spicy snacks today?"
Zhi Yao's body instantly stiffened, then she shook her head frantically, "No, no! I didn't! I've been so good, you can ask Fifteen if you don't believe !"
She suddenly looked at Fifteen, who imdiately began nodding vigorously.
Pei Chiyao curved his lips into a smile with an unclear aning, "Fifteen? Even if you committed murder, he would help you bury the body. Asking him is less reliable than my own guesses."
Fifteen: "..." His dad really understood him so well!
Zhi Yao: "..."
"Really, I didn't."
Zhi Yao kept squirming in Pei Chiyao's arms, trying to charm her way out of trouble.
But Pei Chiyao wasn't buying it at all.
He gave Zhi Yao's bottom a light smack and said, "That trick won't work."
Zhi Yao imdiately stood at attention.
Fifteen took the opportunity to sidle up to Zhi Yao and tugged gently at her sleeve, whispering, "Mommy, stay calm. I've already thrown away all that stuff!"
Oh right, oh right!
Fifteen had already taken care of everything, so what was she nervous about?
Zhi Yao took a deep breath, quickly trying to calm her racing heart.
Pei Chiyao glanced at the trash can, which was suspiciously clean, as if soone was trying too hard to cover sothing up.
He turned to look at his young wife, who was pretending to be calm, and curved his lips into a slight smirk. "It seems you've been quite obedient today."
Hearing this, Zhi Yao instantly breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly walked to Pei Chiyao's side, nodding vigorously like a bobblehead. "Of course I have! I've always been obedient. The fact that you doubt like this really breaks my heart."
Her pouty expression made Pei Chiyao chuckle quietly.
"Although you've cleaned up the trash can nicely, still..."
Pei Chiyao raised an eyebrow and pointed towards a takeout receipt that had been forgotten in the corner of the sofa. "You're still the sa little clumsy fox as before."
"Of course, now there's also a little clumsy dragon to keep you company."
