Faced with Sheng Bai's refusal, Qiao An began to pester him relentlessly, all while stuffing her face. She tried all sorts of threats and bribes, but when nothing worked, she finally pulled out her trump card.
"If all else fails, how about I let you play with the Little Fox for a few days?"

With all these conditions on the table, Sheng Bai was a little tempted. It couldn't be helped; he'd been wanting a cute, well-behaved pet like the Little Fox for a long time. The fact that Xie Shan also adored the Little Fox made the deal even sweeter—he loved the idea of one-upping his rival.
