After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: His Genes Have Issues
“It’s okay.” Qin Lie shook his head, holding her hand in his palm, his eyebrows raised in a domineering manner. “Who can bully me?”

“Really?” Zhouzhou didn’t quite believe it, looking at him skeptically.

“Really.” Qin Lie nodded firmly.

Zhouzhou stared at him for a while, seeing his calm expression that didn’t seem like a pretense, and then breathed a sigh of relief. “Then I can rest assured. If someone bullies Dad, you must tell me, and I’ll beat them up for you.”

As she spoke, she pouted and kissed him on the forehead. “I’ll make Dad one year younger. Dad, you’re not allowed to frown anymore, it’s not good-looking.”

Qin Lie was softened by the little girl’s coaxing, and a smile appeared in his eyes. “I just aged ten years a moment ago, subtracting one year is not enough.”

Zhouzhou instantly understood and pecked at his face like a woodpecker.

“Is it enough?” she asked with a mischievous smile.

Qin Lie thought for a moment and said seriously, “Five more years.”

Understanding, Zhouzhou hugged his face and continued pecking.

Qin Xu and Qin Er, who watched this scene, were dumbfounded and couldn’t believe their eyes. They never expected him to be this kind of person, tricking the little girl into kissing him!

Before, one kiss would subtract one year, and now it’s only half a year?

This depreciation is too fast!

Shameless!

Unfortunately, Zhouzhou didn’t fall for Qi Hua’s temptation just now, but she had no discernment when it came to Qin Lie. She believed whatever he said, looking silly.

But perhaps that’s what she wanted.

No need to say anything more.

After playing for a while, the father and daughter returned home.

Zhouzhou ran upstairs first and hid all her money in a sack, instructing Qin Er not to say anything about it. She wanted to give them a surprise.

When Qin Lie entered, he saw the little girl crawling under the bed, leaving only a pair of short legs sticking out, like a small animal burying its treasure.

He pretended not to see anything, quietly closed the door, and entered after a while.

Zhouzhou had already hidden everything and looked at him as if nothing had happened.

Qin Lie didn’t expose her and took her hand as they walked out.

The Lunar New Year was approaching, and the Qin family had already started decorating. Today, with Zhouzhou around, the family members who usually worked overtime on New Year’s Eve said they would come back.

Rarely did everyone gather together, and Grandma Qin was overjoyed, but she was also thinking about something else.

When Zhouzhou approached, Grandma Qin waved at her, hugged her granddaughter tightly, and looked at Qin Lie as she spoke, “Zhouzhou’s birthday is coming up soon. I was thinking, why not celebrate it in a big way and also hold her welcome banquet?”

Originally, she had wanted to do it when Mu Xuan’s welcome banquet was held, but then they got busy with the Mystery Sect Conference and kept postponing it.

Grandma Qin didn’t want to postpone it anymore.

Zhouzhou looked up at her and asked, “What’s a welcome banquet? Will there be delicious food?”

That was what she cared about the most.

Hearing her soft voice, Grandma Qin burst into laughter and affectionately touched her chubby double chin. “Of course, there will also be a birthday cake, sweet and delicious. Does Zhouzhou like to eat?”

Cake?

Zhouzhou’s ears perked up. Dad had bought her one before, and it was so delicious!

She was drooling with anticipation, vigorously nodding her little head. “Yes, yes!”

Seeing her like this, Qin Lie also nodded and said, “Sure, that’s what I planned too.”

Zhouzhou had never appeared in front of everyone before, so it would be nice to introduce her. It would prevent anyone with ill intentions from bullying her.

“Alright, then I’ll go and send out the invitations. Zhouzhou’s master and senior brothers must be invited for sure, and Old Liu, he’s Zhouzhou’s disciple, so he must be invited too. As for the rest, I mean, invite as many as possible.”

If it was just a birthday celebration, inviting close family members would be enough, but she wanted to introduce Zhouzhou to other people, so they needed a few more guests.

Qin Lie nodded. “No problem, I’ll prepare the guest list.”

“Alright, that’s settled. You’ll take care of the hotel arrangements. Let’s finish everything in the next couple of days. Also, there’s Zhouzhou’s school matter. The kindergarten where Little Bei and Little Nan are is good. I think Zhouzhou will be fine there, and she’ll have two older brothers to take care of her.”

“That’s fine. I’ve already talked to the principal about this. When school starts, we’ll take Zhouzhou there directly.”

Hearing this, Grandma Qin nodded in satisfaction. It made sense. Qin Lie treated Zhouzhou as his most precious treasure, so he must have considered all these things.

“Then let’s do it this way.”

“Okay.”

Zhouzhou sat quietly in her embrace, obediently letting them make arrangements. She was well-behaved, just give her something to eat!

Qin Lie turned his head and saw his little daughter looking at him eagerly. Understanding her intention, he handed his hand over and said, “Let’s go, let’s start by choosing the menu.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed his hand, hopping along with him to the study.

Grandma Qin couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She knew she couldn’t compete with him.

Well, let it be. She forgave him. As long as Zhouzhou was happy.

There were still many things to do for the New Year, and Zhouzhou suddenly became busy. During the day, she went shopping for New Year’s goods with Grandma Qin, and at night, she wrote invitation cards with Grandpa Qin.

Of course, the cards she wrote were for her master and senior brothers. Only they wouldn’t mind her messy handwriting.

Grandpa Qin had excellent calligraphy skills, and even one of his calligraphy pieces could be worth a lot of money if sold. But at this moment, he looked at Zhouzhou’s childish handwriting and praised her without blinking an eye.

“Zhouzhou is amazing.”

“Zhouzhou writes so well.”

“Why is Zhouzhou so smart?”

With these compliments, Zhouzhou’s little tail was about to wag up to the sky, and her writing became even more spirited. She had no idea of the frustration that would grip Li Yuanming’s heart when he received her invitation card.

Because Zhouzhou used a brush pen, her characters were so thick that they covered the characters underneath.

Fortunately, although Grandpa Qin was a doting grandfather, he also knew that and specifically attached a card that he had written himself, allowing Li Yuanming to finally see what was written on it.

It was an invitation for his little disciple’s birthday.

He had promised her that he would come, so he naturally had to keep his word.

He swore that it was definitely not because he was tempted by the food at the Qin family!

Ye Lingfeng also received an invitation, and it was personally delivered by Qin Lie.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Ye Lingfeng felt somewhat surprised. He looked at Qin Lie and asked, probing, “Qin, something’s not right with you.”

Sometimes, Qin Lie treated him with hostility, and other times, he was quite friendly. This ambiguous behavior made him can’t help but overthink.

He held the invitation in his hand and smiled ambiguously, “Qin, do you have any improper thoughts about me?”

He hadn’t heard of Qin Lie having any affection for any woman yet.

Could it really be as he thought?

Thinking of this, his gaze subtly changed.

Qin Lie looked at him with a difficult expression, suddenly understanding where Zhouzhou’s occasional foolishness came from.

The root cause was right here.

He frowned and disdainfully said, “Mr. Ye, you should go to the hospital to have your brain checked when you have time. Delusions are an illness. It’s better to treat it early and avoid burdening others.”

After speaking, he quickly left, as if he was afraid of being infected by him even for a second.

Leaving Ye Lingfeng in a state of confusion.

Burdening others?
