After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: You Won This Round
When Qin Lie arrived at the shopping mall, he saw three little kids chatting and giggling around the car. Zhouzhou’s eyes were squinted as she laughed with joy. Sensing something, the little girl turned her head, her eyes brightening as she hurriedly ran towards him, hugging his leg. “Dad!”

“Yeah,” Qin Lie bent down and lifted the little girl up. “You have good luck.”

Zhouzhou shook her head and said seriously, “It’s mainly about the touch.”

Both of them were balls, identical in appearance. Just by their color, it was impossible to tell the difference by touch. Qin Lie didn’t understand what she meant and didn’t think much of it. He quickly walked over to the staff and asked, “What procedures do I need to complete?”

Upon seeing him, the staff member was momentarily stunned, but the manager quickly recognized him and respectfully said, “Please follow me.”

After saying that, he couldn’t help wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Fortunately, they didn’t deny their promise and gave the car to the little girl. Otherwise, Qin Lie would have made sure they regretted it. Who would have thought that the girl’s father would be Qin Lie? It was truly terrifying.

With trembling hearts, they completed the procedures under his guidance and respectfully saw him off. Only then did everyone’s tension finally subside.

Qin Lie decided to drive the red sports car back, while his own car was called by phone and the driver was sent to pick it up. Zhouzhou happily fastened her seatbelt and suddenly remembered something. “Dad, didn’t you go to meet someone? Did you get the Elder Stork Herb and Little Worm Herb?”

Hearing her words, Qin Lie paused for a moment and shook his head. “Not yet.”

“What?” Zhouzhou was taken aback. She didn’t expect this outcome. She wanted to say something but seeing his expression not looking good, she swallowed her words and just tilted her head, looking at him with confusion.

Did Dad encounter some trouble? Could it be that someone bullied him?

Thinking of this, her small nose wrinkled, and her chubby fist clenched.

The car ride was silent. Qin Lie drove home, and Qin Er and Qin Bei didn’t dare to stay in front of Qin Lie and quickly ran away with an excuse. Zhouzhou handed him a cup and said, “Dad, drink water.”

“Sure.” Qin Lie took it and suddenly noticed something. He held her hand and looked at her reddened palm, frowned, and asked, “What happened to your hand? Did it get burned?”

“No,” Zhouzhou shook her head and nodded, “Not by hot water, but by golden light.”

“Golden light?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, glanced at the red sports car parked outside, and felt proud. “Dad, let me tell you a secret. When I touched those balls earlier, I could feel the golden light on them. The more golden light, the hotter it felt in my hand.”

It was because of this that she was able to find the special prize. However, she was “destined to lack money in her life” and had an affinity for money, so the golden light would burn her.

Now, Qin Lie finally understood the meaning behind her earlier words about relying on touch. It turned out to be the literal meaning.

He pursed his lips slightly, but didn’t say anything. Instead, he took out the ointment and gently applied it to her hand.

Sensing that something was not quite right with his expression, Zhouzhou’s proud look gradually disappeared. She carefully asked, “Dad, are you unhappy? Did I do something wrong?”

“No,” Qin Lie snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Zhouzhou’s uneasy expression. He realized that his emotions had affected her and quickly said, “Dad is just worried about Zhouzhou. Zhouzhou, in our family, we have money and don’t need you to hurt yourself for money.”

Selling talismans and medicines wouldn’t stop her; she had the ability and the need for money, and she also enjoyed making money. As long as she was happy.

But he still hoped she could be healthy and safe.

Zhouzhou listened attentively, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, “Dad, I understand. I won’t do that anymore. I’ll change. Dad, please don’t be angry, okay?”

“Dad is not angry.” Qin Lie touched her little head, his expression gentle.

Zhouzhou looked at him and seeing that he was really not angry, she instantly pouted her lips. She nestled her chubby face into his embrace, acting spoiled. “Dad is the best. Zhouzhou likes Dad the most.”

Even if Qin Lie was really angry, he would have been completely worn down by the little girl at this moment.

He held her hand and said, “Alright, don’t move. Let me apply the ointment first.”

“Okay, okay.” Zhouzhou immediately sat obediently. After a while, she remembered something and looked up at him, asking, “Dad, did something happen today? Why didn’t you bring back the herbal grass? Did someone bully you?”

At the last sentence, Zhouzhou’s small fist clenched again.

Qin Lie smoothed her hand and chuckled. “Who can bully me?”

As he said that, his gaze became somewhat complicated, and he asked, “Zhouzhou, do you like the bracelet I bought at the auction before?”

“I like it,” Zhouzhou nodded. “It’s worth a lot of money. Sharp Tongue Uncle even spent a hundred million to buy it back. When you don’t like it anymore, we can sell it and make a net profit of fifty million!”

As she said that, she spread her five fingers, wiggling her little chubby hand, her eyebrows and eyes curved, looking like a little money enthusiast.

Qin Lie chuckled, “So, besides money, is there anything else you like?”

Hmm, let me think. Zhouzhou tilted her head and spoke honestly, “Dad, let me tell you something. When I saw that bracelet, I felt a strong connection to it. Dad, does that mean I have a special fate with that bracelet?”

Qin Lie remained silent, lightly touching her hand with his fingertips.

Zhouzhou didn’t pay attention to his reaction and continued, “But my favorite thing is still gold, just like the golden Pixiu you gave me. I love it the most!”

As she said that, she looked at Qin Lie with a delighted expression.

Qin Lie patted her head and asked again, “If you had to choose between the bracelet and your Senior Martial Uncle Tang, who would you choose?”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked, feeling somewhat surprised. It seemed she didn’t expect these two options to be presented together. She didn’t hesitate and said, “Of course, I would choose Senior Martial Uncle Tang. There are plenty of bracelets, but there’s only one Senior Martial Uncle Tang. He can also let me participate in the Mystery Sect Conference. Without Senior Martial Uncle Tang, I would have to become a grandson.”

She didn’t want that!

If she had to be a grandchild, she wanted to be the granddaughter of Grandpa and Grandma, not the grandson of the Big Fool.

Hearing her words, Qin Lie’s brows relaxed. It turned out that he had been overthinking everything from the beginning to the end.

He nodded to indicate that he understood.

Zhouzhou looked at him, puzzled, and asked, “Dad, why did you suddenly bring this up?”

“It’s nothing, just something that suddenly came to mind.”

Is that so?

Zhouzhou looked at him with some suspicion. It seemed that it wasn’t just that simple.

Qin Lie didn’t say anything and changed the topic, “The person who owns those herbs said they would give them to me in three days. You can start preparing the other herbs.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou became overjoyed, “Really?”

“Yes, really.”

“Then I need to quickly prepare and review. We must bring glory to our Sanqing Temple in the Mystery Sect Conference this time!”

As she spoke, she jumped off his lap and quickly ran upstairs after closing the door.

Qin Lie smiled as he watched her figure. After she closed the door, the smile on his face slowly faded.

He took out his phone and sent a message.

“CEO Ye, you won this round.”
