After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: The Official Name of Zhouzhou
As if sensing something, Zhouzhou turned her head and her eyes immediately lit up, “Dad!”

With that, she swiftly moved her head away from Ye Lingfeng’s hand and hurriedly ran towards Qin Lie with her short legs.

Qin Lie’s expression relaxed, and he bent down to pick up the little girl. Zhouzhou giggled a few times, burying her chubby face in his neck and rubbing against it affectionately.

The father and daughter were skilled in their movements and coordinated perfectly, as if they had rehearsed countless times.

Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng inexplicably felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Coincidentally, Qin Lie also looked over. When their eyes met, a mutual dislike flashed between them. He had never realized before how detestable the other person was.

Not noticing the fiery gaze between them, Liu Hanqiu walked over with a hint of guilt in his eyes. “I’m sorry, Master, I didn’t know they were those kinds of people. If I had known, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”

As he spoke, his expression was also grim. He never expected that Du Wan would actually resort to physical violence. If anything were to happen to his Master, he would never forgive himself.

Hearing his words, Qin Lie frowned, “What happened?”

Zhouzhou complained with a huff, “I refused to let the bad guy treat me, so the bad woman wanted to hit me. Fortunately, Sharp Tongue Uncle arrived in time and scolded them. The bad woman was so angry that her face turned black.”

As she spoke, Zhouzhou happily swung her short legs and glanced at Ye Lingfeng.

Qin Lie’s eyelids twitched, and he also looked over. Seeing Zhouzhou so happy, his thin lips pursed slightly. Then he turned to Ye Lingfeng and said, “Thank you, CEO Ye. You can tell me anything you want as a reward for today.”

For some reason, Ye Lingfeng saw a guardedness in his eyes.

He raised an eyebrow and fixed his gaze on Zhouzhou, as if he understood something. His lips curved mischievously, “CEO Qin really wants to thank me?”

Qin Lie knew he wouldn’t say anything good, but he still said, “Yes.”

“Then let the little girl accompany me for a meal. I’ll treat,” Ye Lingfeng said.

A meal?

Zhouzhou’s ears twitched, and her gaze at him was somewhat difficult to express. She reminded him, “Sharp Tongue Uncle, it’s my dad who wants to thank you. Why are you paying for it yourself?”

Sharp Tongue Uncle is so silly.

Ye Lingfeng yawned indifferently and looked directly at Qin Lie. “That’s my request. CEO Qin, whether you agree or not.”

Qin Lie hadn’t spoken yet, but Zhouzhou leaned close to his ear and said, “Dad, please agree quickly. Eldest Senior Brother said, don’t miss out on any advantages!”

Qin Lie: “…”

He really didn’t want Zhouzhou to have more contact with Ye Lingfeng, but faced with the expectant eyes of the little girl, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. He could only nod and say, “Then I’ll trouble CEO Ye to treat us.”

Zhouzhou also nodded seriously, “Sharp Tongue Uncle really has to spend money today. I can eat a lot.”

They had witnessed her appetite before.

Ye Lingfeng waved his hand, “It’s fine, I can eat too.”

As they spoke, they all got into the car and headed to a restaurant.

When they arrived, Ye Lingfeng didn’t even look at the menu. He simply asked for all the dishes, and as for the staple food…

He looked at Zhouzhou and said, “Just bring a bucket of rice.”

Saying that, he smiled at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou snorted lightly, remembering how he called her a little rice bucket, she turned her head and ignored him.

Since getting in the car, Qin Lie had been much quieter, and now he became even more silent. He lowered his head to tie a small apron on Zhouzhou and set the tableware.

Zhouzhou looked up at him, sensing his mood sensitively, and worriedly asked, “Dad, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unhappy?”

“No,” Qin Lie said in a low voice.

Zhouzhou didn’t believe him. He clearly was.

She just didn’t know why he wasn’t happy.

Zhouzhou tilted her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression. After thinking for a moment, she beckoned with her chubby hand.

Qin Lie didn’t know what she wanted to do, but he cooperated by bending down. Then, Zhouzhou held his face and loudly kissed him, “Dad, don’t be unhappy. Remember to smile more.”

Saying that, she took his hand and placed it on her head, nudging her little head against it, “Let Dad touch it.”

She now had hair, no longer a bald head, but still soft. Qin Lie looked at her and couldn’t help but smile, all the annoyance in his heart dissipating.

He was happy, but Ye Lingfeng wasn’t pleased.

He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and looked at Qin Lie with a sour expression. He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart.

Seeing him like this, Chen Tuo also scratched the back of his head in confusion, looking bewildered. Wasn’t it normal for them to have a good relationship as father and daughter? Why was the boss unhappy?

He couldn’t figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it and brought up another topic, “Little Baldy, how did you learn medical skills at such a young age?”

She’s so young.

Hearing his nickname, Zhouzhou snorted, “Stinky Little Brother, why are you so big and still don’t know how to talk properly?”

She’s no longer Little Baldy. Don’t hinder her from making money!

Chen Tuo choked and couldn’t find words to reply.

“And what about my two million?” Zhouzhou took out an IOU from her bag and slapped it on the table with a fierce expression. “Hurry up and repay the money!”

Ye Lingfeng didn’t know when he owed her money and turned his head to give him a glance.

Chen Tuo’s face turned red. It was the first time someone had chased him for money. He quickly took out his bank card and said, “Here, here, I’ll give it to you right now.”

That’s more like it. Zhouzhou took out a POS machine and skillfully transferred the money.

Two million received!

The little girl’s eyebrows immediately curved up, and she handed the card to Qin Lie. “Dad, take it and spend it. Grandma said that buying things when you’re unhappy will make you feel better.”

Ye Lingfeng’s mood worsened even more.

He tapped the table with his fingers, feeling displeased. “Little girl, I helped you today, don’t you want to give me a gift?”

Zhouzhou thought for a moment and took out a stack of talismans from her pocket, handing them to him. “Then these Protective Talismans are for Sharp Tongue Uncle. You have too many life-threatening situations, so you need more protection.”

As she spoke, she propped up her chubby cheeks and curiously asked, “Sharp Tongue Uncle, what do you do? How come you encounter more danger than my Second Senior Uncle?”

And you have more merit than Second Senior Uncle.

It’s so strange.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s eyelids twitched, and he instinctively glanced at Qin Lie, thinking that he had found out. Then he immediately thought it was impossible. His information was classified as SSS-level confidential, and only a few people knew about it. Even if Qin Lie had a wide network, it was impossible for him to find out.

Thinking of this, he relaxed a little and continued teasing Zhouzhou, “You’re both a doctor and a talisman expert, how did you become skilled in both?”

Knowing what he wanted to say, Zhouzhou proudly shook her little head and said, “My Eldest Brother said that at the end of science is metaphysics, and science and metaphysics are closely related!”

Little brat, she’s just spouting nonsense.

Thinking back to what he saw in Sishui Forest that day, Ye Lingfeng had no doubt about her abilities. After contemplating for a moment, he accepted the talismans, “Thank you then.”

Zhouzhou casually waved her hand, “You’re welcome, it’s a thank-you gift.”

With that, the food arrived, and the most prominent item was a large bucket of rice.

Zhouzhou pouted, but it was indeed convenient to eat like this. She didn’t mind being called a little rice bucket anymore since she didn’t have to keep asking for rice. And she also noticed something.

“Sharp Tongue Uncle, you can eat a lot too!”

He had already eaten nine bowls, even more than her!

It was the first time she had seen someone who could eat so much.

Ye Lingfeng casually responded with a “Hmm,” and said, “I was born this way.”

“What a coincidence, I was born this way too!” Zhouzhou was delighted. It was the first time she had encountered someone who could eat as much as her, and she felt a closer connection. She was about to say something when Qin Lie, who was sitting beside them, suddenly picked up a piece of food and put it in her bowl. “Eat.”

“Right, right.” Zhouzhou was immediately attracted and enthusiastically buried her head to eat.

With Ye Lingfeng, who could eat even more than her, she had no pressure during this meal.

She was still excitedly talking about this on the way back in the car. Qin Lie in the front seat remained silent, his brows furrowed, and his heart was full of turmoil.

After returning home, he suddenly spoke, “It’s time to register Zhouzhou’s household registration.”

He brought up this matter out of the blue, and Grandma Qin was a little confused but nodded, saying, “Yes, Zhouzhou’s household registration hasn’t been done yet. We should do it. We’ve been forgetting about it.”

It was because Zhouzhou couldn’t be registered under her and Grandpa’s household registration that they had decided to let Qin Lie adopt her.

“But why did you suddenly think of this?” Grandma Qin asked.

“Didn’t you mention sending Zhouzhou to kindergarten after the Chinese New Year? We need to take care of the household registration beforehand,” Qin Lie casually found an excuse.

Household registration?

Zhouzhou was rolling around with Wangcai nearby, but when she heard this, she popped her little head up, curious. “What is household registration?”

“It means writing our names in a book, so legally we’re recognized as a family,” Grandma Qin explained in simple terms.

A family!

Zhouzhou was delighted. “Then I want to register!”

This matter needed to be done quickly, without delay. Grandma Qin immediately urged Grandpa Qin to make an appointment and said, “To register, we need to give Zhouzhou a proper name. Do you have any ideas?”

“I do!” Before Qin Lie and Grandpa Qin could say anything, Zhouzhou raised her hand and eagerly answered.

Grandma Qin was pleased. “Then what does Zhouzhou want to be called?”

Zhouzhou stood up from the floor, hands on her waist, lifting up her chubby double chin, looking proud. “I want to be called Qin Dafu!”
