Anyone seeing it would feel breathless, as if their heart might stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But An Sheng didn’t know this—he only thought the blue watch sparkled nicely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying’s wealth was beyond An Sheng’s imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah—what a shame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting on his new outfit, An Sheng turned to face Lin Ying, still lost in thought, and sighed deeply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, I think we’re a perfect match—you rich, me poor—and we both have long legs. Too bad we can’t speak the same language!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In this regard, Yu Xueqing utterly crushed me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng’s boastful words dissolved into a chorus of whimpers echoing through the dressing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng leapt down from the display table and strutted in front of the full-length mirror, admiring his new outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng snapped out of his self-admiration, stepped forward on his golden-banded legs, stood upright, and plopped onto Lin Ying’s thigh: “Hey! Stop zoning out—it’s past mealtime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lend me these for a few days—I’ll return them. Don’t worry! My place is right across the street, and I’ve got a smuggling record with the Security Bureau—I won’t run.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of clear, childlike whimpers, like laughter, roused Lin Ying from her daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying’s smile faded; she patted the little fox’s head without a word and turned back toward her bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clean up the scraps in the dressing room. Don’t bother with that fox.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Miss Lin.” The maids had been about to block the fox’s exit, but upon hearing Lin Ying’s order, they fell silent, staring at the fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They widened their eyes as An Sheng walked from the master’s room down to the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox, as if feeling too clean, deliberately rolled on the ground, leaving faint scratches from the golden bracelets scraping the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ssshh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maids winced, watching the fox—let the bracelets scratch, just don’t lose the watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ying didn’t care—but they did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving Lin Ying’s house, An Sheng rolled on the ground several times, deliberately making himself dirty, preparing to pose as a stray fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, as a fox young master who had accidentally been abandoned by a wealthy family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used to be the one you ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, how much do I resemble my former self?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superstition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on, come on—try pushing me away now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you see I’m dripping in gold and jewels? Look at my living conditions—how absurd! So tell me, don’t you want that reward from a rich family that doesn’t even exist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng would bet his bell that Yu Xueqing’s father would have his eyes pop out upon seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superstition means nothing against wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ying ying ying—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng wore a smug grin, strutting with his fox head tilted so high it nearly touched the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached the alley beside Yu Xueqing’s house and Lai Fu’s home, he let out two slow, deliberate whimpers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d spent hours inside Lin Ying’s house getting dressed, skipping his precious lunch—now his stomach was starving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng licked his lips, spotted the windowsill at the alley entrance, and scrambled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Yu Xueqing suddenly heard the clear whimper of Xiao An—her breath hitched, and she frantically scanned the room for the escaped pup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Aren’t all the mushroom rats in the pot? Where’s the rat noise coming from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zhenghong, sprawled on the sofa scrolling through short videos to aid digestion, froze, eyes narrowing as he scanned the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Husband, husband.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s mother, spotting the source of the childlike laughter, turned and, with a barely noticeable kick to her husband’s foot, gasped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, look at the dining table windowsill—I think my eyes are playing tricks on me! There’s a golden fox!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her mother’s call, Yu Zhenghong and Yu Xueqing both turned sharply toward the dining table windowsill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ssshh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zhenghong and Yu Xueqing inhaled sharply in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw it: a tiny, pure white fox with no blemishes, clinging to the windowsill, its two tiny paws adorned with four gleaming gold bracelets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side of its collar, a dazzling blue watch reflected brilliant light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Zhenghong didn’t know what the shining object on the collar was, but he recognized gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That fox’s paws were wearing gold bracelets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the thing wrapped around its waist—he couldn’t forget that pattern. It was fucking Chanel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just bought it for his wife to celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d paid for it with blood from his heart—and now he saw it on a stray fox!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xueqing’s eyes bulged; she had no idea what had happened to Xiao An in just one afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hnnngh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng leapt from the windowsill onto the dining table, smirking at Yu Xueqing’s father, then slowly raised a paw and proudly tapped the food cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he held his head high, it was as if he were saying: “Feed this great lord some food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Xueqing… where did this thing come from?” Seeing the fox’s utterly unshakable confidence, Yu Zhenghong’s eyelid twitched, voice tinged with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s greeting you. It’s hungry,” Yu Xueqing said, translating, her mouth agape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Sheng slowly extended his paw, beaming with pride, and let out a languid whimper:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allow me to introduce myself: I am the Grade Two creature who solves the flaws of dogs who won’t cuddle and cats who won’t cling—while combining the noise of dogs and the mischief of kittens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am the White Albino Red Fox of Jingcheng—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Image: Super Unshakably Confident Fox]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please follow and vote for monthly tickets\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1297,"2026-06-20T23:19:16.017Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","743364f0700b0769dc0d3df595d19103c292af3d1dee32cea7d87c3b0ba7b1c3","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-15","the-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-chapter-13",354,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fox-has-no-malicious-intent-cover.jpg"]
