My dad took my mom here for their first date, and that’s how I was conceived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing smiled confidently as she introduced Dongjia Restaurant to Mo Yiqing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If their food were bad, I wouldn’t even exist today. Dongjia is perfect—except seafood is a bit expensive because most of it comes from cold-water seas, making it extra sweet and fresh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yu Xueqing’s description, Mo Yiqing’s eyes lit up; she grabbed Yu Xueqing’s hand and rushed into the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An expert’s touch reveals everything—cold currents usually have high salinity and low temperatures, producing seafood with exceptionally firm flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, due to cold currents, seafood grows slowly, making their sweetness even more pronounced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing “cold-water seas,” Mo Yiqing immediately knew Yu Xueqing was a true sister—she’d brought her to this hidden gem of a restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the restaurant, to the left stood a fish tank shaped like a giant ship; condensation fogged the glass from the temperature difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome! How many guests?” A hostess at the right-side counter smiled forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two. Bring chrysanthemum tea. Book us a quiet private room that allows pets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing told the hostess, then happily grabbed a net and dashed toward the fish tank. The hostess froze, then rushed after her, grabbing her arm in alarm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, guest, you can’t! Those fish—the dragon grouper and the red snapper—are our bosses. They’re not for sale!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That dragon grouper and red snapper have lived here for sixteen years—they’re our boss’s pet fish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Yiqing looked crestfallen: “Why put them right by the entrance then? Tease me into a frenzy, then tell me my period just started? Isn’t that forcing me to sprint toward a red-light district?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon grouper in the tank was enormous—nearly a meter long—but Mo Yiqing’s target wasn’t the fierce, black-skinned monster. It was the bright red fish beside it, resembling a golden snapper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m truly sorry for the trouble,” Mo Yiqing’s crude words made the hostess blush furiously. “I’ll apply for a discount for you right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All seafood in the tanks had price tags—except the dragon grouper and the red snapper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guest didn’t even glance at the prices—she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to net the “feng shui fish manager.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah Qing… I think I now know who taught you those filthy jokes.” An Sheng sat on the counter, watching Yu Xueqing’s face, now streaked with black lines and embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When it comes to filth, Mo Yiqing is the real queen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little fox kept whimpering, complaining about Mo Yiqing—its whimpers echoed directly into Yu Xueqing’s mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! Master, master, look! Auntie Mo, the scarred hunter on her belly, goes straight for the strongest fish! Auntie Mo fights the whole ocean alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s not just fighting the ocean—I looked at the prices and my wallet screamed,” Yu Xueqing said, wiping sweat from her brow as she watched Mo Yiqing order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four-li abalone: 98 yuan each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sashimi-grade oysters: 39 yuan each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giant Arctic clams: 69 yuan each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Premium swimming crabs: 238 yuan each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the sea cucumbers and fish sold by weight—Mo Yiqing ordered three portions of the per-piece items, then, after glancing at Yu Xueqing, ordered the weighed items by the jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ordering, Mo Yiqing subtly opened her phone’s payment page just before entering the private room, slipped it into the hostess’s basket, and gave her a knowing look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hostess paused, then nodded, understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing sat in her chair, enjoying the air-conditioning, unconsciously tugging at her collar, then looked at the little fox on the table and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I nearly died of heat in the Tianhou Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yu Xueqing spoke, she pulled a wet wipe from her small bag, lifted her shirt, and wiped the sweat from her chest—the little fox was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve finally found the little fox’s flaw—you can’t hold him when it’s hot, or you’ll get heat rash,” Yu Xueqing complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the Tianhou Palace was smooth, but leaving was not—tourists kept asking Yu Xueqing if they could take photos with the fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was delighted so many people loved her little fox,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in the sweltering summer without AC, holding a fur-covered fox for over ten minutes under a tree while posing with strangers, Yu Xueqing finally understood what “happy trouble” meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox is too cute—what can I do.jpg\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little An… you’re too hot. Let Chen Zhiyu cut your fur later, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing lowered her shirt, smiling sweetly at the little fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Yu Xueqing’s deception,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng thought for a moment, sat up on the table, and turned to face Yu Xueqing, lifting his hind leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s eyes widened in horror—she snatched a teacup and covered his vital point in one swift motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little An, dare you! I’ll snip your balls off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1206,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b2ff5152f09e75285463ed6d971aac1747a3f28d66557d41c6cf0503f89e428a","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-109","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-107",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
