After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Will He Respond If You Call His Name?
Ye Lingfeng also looked at the scene with surprise, feeling a complex mix of emotions. After finally pushing the tiger’s head away, Zhouzhou spoke seriously, “Wangcai, you can’t lick me anymore, I haven’t washed my face, it’s dirty.”

The tiger looked at her blankly, not understanding the meaning of her words, and stuck out his tongue to lick her hand again. Zhouzhou burst into laughter, hugged him and rubbed against him, then turned to leave. However, Chen Tuo stopped her in time.

“Wait a minute,” Chen Tuo called out. Zhouzhou turned her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression, “Stinky Little Brother, what do you call me for?”

Chen Tuo’s mouth twitched, ignoring her address, and said, “Little Baldy, this is our tiger, called General, not Wangcai.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s little face stiffened. “Nonsense, I clearly picked him up.”

“He ran out of my house,” Chen Tuo responded.

Is that so?

Zhouzhou tilted her head, looking at the tiger, “Then do you have any evidence to prove that Wangcai is yours?”

“Then do you have any evidence?” Chen Tuo countered. Unexpectedly, Zhouzhou straightened her small chest and said, “Of course, I do.”

With that, she put General down on the ground and said, “I call him, and he responds. Will he respond when you call him?”

General’s father was Ye Lingfeng’s best companion, accompanying him through life and death. Chen Tuo didn’t want to lose General due to his negligence. He had spent quite some time with General and said, “Of course he will respond. I used to take care of him when he was a cub.”

“Then go ahead,” Zhouzhou said.

Chen Tuo followed suit and said, “General, come here.” But unexpectedly, General ignored him completely, not even giving him a glance. Seeing this, Zhouzhou squatted down, opened her arms, and said, “Wangcai, come here for a hug.”

At that moment, General immediately reacted and rushed into her arms, curling up in her embrace. He made it easier for her to hold him, and his tongue kept licking her. Although he was only a year old, he had considerable strength. General bumped into Zhouzhou, making her sit on the ground, but she played with him for a while before standing up while holding him. She looked at Chen Tuo and said, “Stinky Little Brother, see, Wangcai ignores you.”

Chen Tuo was also at a loss, instinctively turning to Ye Lingfeng, not knowing what to do. Ye Lingfeng looked at Zhouzhou for a moment, then his brow relaxed. “Hmm, from now on, he will be your Wangcai.”

“Boss?” Chen Tuo looked at him in astonishment.

Ye Lingfeng didn’t say anything, but he rubbed his temple with a headache. Zhouzhou glanced at him but didn’t say anything. She carried Wangcai and ran back. Grandma Qin happened to come out and saw her holding something in her hands. She curiously walked over, saying, “Zhouzhou, what are you holding? A lion dog?”

As she approached and saw the “王” on its forehead, she was startled, her eyes widened. After a few seconds, she reacted and quickly shouted, “Old man, A’lie, come quick and save Zhouzhou!”

“Don’t move, Zhouzhou. Don’t be afraid, Grandma is here.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou looked at her in confusion, as she wasn’t scared. Seeing her legs trembling, Zhouzhou understood and tried to comfort her, imitating her soft and gentle tone, “Grandma, don’t be afraid, Zhouzhou is here.” She finished speaking and grinned at her.

Grandma Qin was on the verge of tears, fearing that her soft and adorable granddaughter would become a meal in the tiger’s mouth. She reached out to make a phone call, but General suddenly turned its head and looked at her. Zhouzhou also noticed and waved her hand while holding his paw, saying, “Wangcai, this is Grandma, say hello.”

Wangcai: “Roar—”

When Grandpa Qin and Qin Lie arrived, they witnessed this scene. The tiger’s roar was deafening, shaking the house. Seeing the tiger in Zhouzhou’s arms, Grandpa Qin’s heart skipped a beat. Qin Lie carefully observed and found that he didn’t show any signs of aggression, which eased his worries. He asked, “Zhouzhou, where did you get this from?”

“From the road,” Zhouzhou answered truthfully.

When she woke up, she saw something flash outside and immediately ran out. After catching up with Wangcai, she played with him for a while. Then she felt hungry and wanted to go back home, but Wangcai kept following her.

“I think he wanted to come to our house for a free meal,” Zhouzhou said with conviction, just like when she wanted to go home with Grandpa and Grandma. It was all for the sake of filling her stomach. She looked at them with her tender and white face, her eyes filled with inquiry.

Qin Lie’s eyelid twitched, not answering her question but instead asking about another matter, frowning slightly, “You just said that Ye Lingfeng claimed the tiger belonged to him?”

“That’s what Stinky Little Brother said, but he’s lying,” Zhouzhou said. “He called for Wangcai, but Wangcai ignores him. When I call, Wangcai comes back with me.”

That’s how she saw it, but Qin Lie knew very well that Chen Tuo hadn’t lied.

Among the residents in this area, no one else had heard of anyone keeping a tiger as a pet except for Ye Lingfeng, who had recently moved in.

Thinking of this, his frown deepened.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also realized the situation and saw the tiger being held by Zhouzhou, obedient and docile. They were somewhat amazed, “Why does this tiger listen to Zhouzhou?”

“Maybe it’s fate?” Grandpa Qin wasn’t entirely sure.

“I know, it must be because our Zhouzhou is so likable that even the tiger likes her and doesn’t want to eat her!” Grandma Qin said proudly, with her chin held high, appearing as if saying, “My granddaughter is the best.” This made Grandpa Qin slightly headache.

After a while, he looked at Qin Lie and said, “Go next door; we need to resolve this matter.”

Zhouzhou was just a child and believed that whatever she picked up belonged to her, but as adults, they couldn’t do that.

The tiger was not an ordinary animal, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to simply take him away.

Qin Lie nodded, looked at Zhouzhou, and asked, “Are you sure you want to keep him?”

Zhouzhou nodded innocently, misthinking that her dad didn’t want him. She hurriedly said, “Dad, Wangcai is very obedient, don’t believe me? Look.”

With that, she put Wangcai down on the ground and played the game they were playing earlier. “Wangcai, sit.”

The previously irritable General immediately squatted down on his hind legs and sat on the ground.

“Lie down.”

General immediately lay down on the ground.

Zhouzhou approvingly rubbed his head and looked at Qin Lie. “Dad, see, I didn’t lie, right?”

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin also looked at this scene in astonishment, and for a moment, they were somewhat skeptical. Could this really be a tiger?

However, both its appearance and voice indicated that he was indeed a tiger.

After confirming that he wouldn’t harm Zhouzhou, Qin Lie nodded and went upstairs to retrieve some documents before walking to the neighbor’s house.

It seemed like Ye Lingfeng had already anticipated his visit. He had prepared tea and casually poured a cup when he saw Qin Lie approaching. “CEO Qin, try this, it’s Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain.”

Qin Lie didn’t refuse, accepted the cup, took a sip, and his expression slightly paused.

This was not just any Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain; it was from the six mother trees, a priceless treasure that ordinary people couldn’t taste. Even his own grandfather only received 20g of it.

He put down the cup, looked at Ye Lingfeng, and said meaningfully, “It seems like CEO Ye has been doing well these years.”

Ye Lingfeng smiled, “Just making a living.”

Qin Lie didn’t have the mood to engage in small talk or continue the topic. He directly said, “Zhouzhou accidentally took something valuable from CEO Ye’s house. Please name your price.”

“You know what I want,” Ye Lingfeng looked at him intently.

That bracelet.

Qin Lie also looked at him, with an equally firm attitude. “It’s impossible, pick something else, anything else.”

“I only want the bracelet.”

Qin Lie ignored him, threw the documents he was holding onto the table, and said, “CEO Ye, take a look at this before making a decision.”

Upon hearing that, Ye Lingfeng furrowed his brows slightly, opened the documents, and glanced at them. His expression suddenly changed, “How did this end up in your hands?”
