After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 214

Chapter 214: He is Zhouzhou’s Father
“What’s going on here?” He walked over quickly, looking at the blood on Zhouzhou’s hand, his brows furrowing tightly.

Zhouzhou also lowered her head and glanced, instantly understanding. She shook her chubby little paw and said, “It’s okay, Dad. I got this when I was applying medicine to Uncle just now.”

“Uncle?” Qin Lie questioned in confusion.

“Yeah, an injured uncle, and he’s a good person too.” When it came to Xi Mo, Zhouzhou became somewhat excited and told him everything that happened.

After listening, Qin Lie narrowed his eyes but remained calm as he led Zhouzhou inside, handing her over to Grandma Qin. Then he pulled Qin Ren to the side and asked, “What’s going on?”

They had already booked the entire venue, so it was impossible for anyone else to enter. How could a wounded person suddenly appear?

Qin Ren shook his head. “I’m not sure either. The person had injuries and seemed surprised when he saw us, as if he didn’t expect us to be there.”

Moreover, the garage was a bit far from the main hall, and if it wasn’t for Zhouzhou’s sensitivity to the smell of blood, no one would have noticed that someone was there.

He felt that the person didn’t intentionally lead them there.

“And Zhouzhou said he has merit radiance and is a good person.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie felt slightly relieved, but he still didn’t dare to let his guard down.

Doing good deeds doesn’t necessarily mean being good to everyone.

“I’ll check the identity of that person later,” Qin Lie said in a low voice.

Qin Ren nodded to show his understanding.

Soon, the banquet began, and the two of them stopped talking, their gazes focused on Zhouzhou.

On the stage, Zhouzhou wore a birthday hat as Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin pushed a cake trolley forward.

Because Zhouzhou had a big appetite, they ordered a large cake, five layers high, resembling a small mountain.

Zhouzhou’s eyes curved as she looked at it, and a drool could be faintly seen at the corner of her mouth.

Qin Lie chuckled.

Qin Bei led the singing of the birthday song, but his tone was so off-key that it couldn’t find the right pitch, relying solely on the atmosphere to carry it.

After the song, Zhouzhou was held by Grandpa Qin to cut the cake, but she didn’t rush to eat. Instead, she ran to Qin Lie first, holding a plate in her small hands and tiptoeing, saying, “Dad, you eat first.”

Qin Lie looked at the full plate of cake she handed over and suddenly felt a toothache.

He shouldn’t have accepted those two candies in the first place!

Then Zhouzhou wouldn’t have misunderstood that he likes sweet things.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ren couldn’t help but purse his lips and secretly laugh, casting a sympathetic glance at Qin Lie.

Being able to resist not eating and letting him eat first showed how much Zhouzhou cared about him.

He couldn’t refuse this 120% sweetness of love.

Qin Lie also thought so, which made him even more distressed. He bent over and hugged his little daughter, pretending to be calm as he took a bite and then calmly fed the rest to Zhouzhou.

However, his hurried hand betrayed the panic in his heart.

“Dad…” Zhouzhou wanted to say that she also had some, but before she could, another piece was placed at her mouth, and the sweet taste instantly made her forget what she wanted to say.

After taking a bite, she remembered, but before she could continue, another piece was brought to her mouth. Her mind hadn’t caught up yet, but her mouth had already opened.

“Nom, nom…” What was she going to say?

Afraid that she would remember, after feeding her, Qin Lie quickly put the plate aside and sat down with Zhouzhou in the main seat. He placed her on the child’s chair, put a bib on her, and placed a bowl and chopsticks in front of her. Zhouzhou instantly forgot about everything.

Time to eat!

Seeing her enjoying her meal, Qin Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he met Grandma Qin’s teasing gaze, he turned his head and took a sip of water to calm himself down.

He truly couldn’t handle this kind of affectionate father role.

Chen Tuo watched this scene from the side and couldn’t help but want to laugh.

He didn’t expect the mighty and decisive Living King of Hell- Qin Lie, who commanded respect outside, to be so cautious in front of his own five-year-old daughter.

His boss was better in that regard. As a man, he should focus on his career, and it would be awkward for him to become a full-time father.

Just like his boss, when he went on a mission, he was silent and efficient, never saying too much. If he were to become a father who only knew how to take care of children one day, no one would believe that he was the leader of the Dragon Group.

Just imagining that scene, Chen Tuo shook his head. Such a situation would never happen.

Ignoring his thoughts, Zhouzhou continued to eat her meal, her round little belly finally stopping when it was full.

Remembering something, she turned her head to look at the stage. Seeing that no one had touched the top layer of the cake and after asking others who didn’t want it, she had it packed up.

Seeing this, Qin Lie casually asked, “Are you not full?”

“No.” Zhouzhou held the cake and carefully placed it in a spot where no one had touched, shaking her head. “This is for Sharp Tongue Uncle. I promised to save him a piece of cake.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that to be the answer.

For a moment, he looked a little lost, but then he rubbed her head with his big hand, looking at the cake in her hands. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked, “Zhouzhou, do you want to go up the mountain and take a look?”

He didn’t expect himself to suddenly suggest this. Zhouzhou tilted her little head and asked in confusion, “Look at who? Sharp Tongue Uncle?”

“And that Auntie,” Qin Lie added.

Today was Zhouzhou’s birthday, but it was also An Ya’s Memorial Day. She should go and pay her respects too.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes widened, and she vigorously nodded her little head. “Yes, yes!”

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Li Yuanming and Yi Yun, looking at them with expectant eyes.

They didn’t have as much appetite as Zhouzhou and had already put down their chopsticks.

Seeing this, Li Yuanming said, “We’re actually heading back too. Let’s go together.”

Yi Yun nodded in agreement.

When Grandma Qin heard that they were going up the mountain, she was a bit puzzled. “Why are you going up the mountain?”

Qin Lie hugged Zhouzhou and pursed his lips, whispering, “To go and see.”

Grandma Qin found it strange but didn’t say anything, waving her hand. “Alright, go ahead then.”

“Okay.”

It was just after 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Qin Lie drove quickly, and it took a little over an hour to reach the mountain.

After another hour of climbing, when they arrived in front of the temple, they coincidentally ran into Ye Lingfeng, who had just come out.

Looking at Zhouzhou’s shining clothes, the corners of Ye Lingfeng’s mouth involuntarily curved up, and he raised an eyebrow, asking, “Why are you here? Isn’t it Little Toad’s birthday today?”

He was the Little Toad!

Zhouzhou huffed in anger, stomping her foot, and widened her round eyes, glaring at him. She held the cake tightly in her chubby little paws and kept it behind her back.

Not giving him a piece!

Without answering, Qin Lie led Zhouzhou into the temple.

Li Yuanming called out to them, “You’re going the wrong way.”

Why were they going to the old bald donkey’s place?

Qin Lie turned around and said, “Since we’re already here, let’s pay our respects…” He paused for a moment, looked at Zhouzhou, and then said, “Let’s pay respects to An Ya.”

“Oh, right.” Zhouzhou also thought of this and waved her hand at Li Yuanming. “Master, I’ll go and see Auntie and come out.”

The deceased deserved respect, and Li Yuanming couldn’t say anything.

Yi Yun nodded slightly and walked in.

Ye Lingfeng’s smile faded a bit, and he followed closely behind.

An Ya’s tablet was placed in a side hall, with a small tablet next to it.

Yi Yun handed Zhouzhou a joss stick, and Zhouzhou paid three bows. She was about to leave when Qin Lie said, “Zhouzhou, kowtow one more time.”

Huh?

Zhouzhou was a bit puzzled, and Ye Lingfeng also turned his head to look at Qin Lie, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He felt that Qin Lie’s reaction was a bit strange.

Zhouzhou didn’t ask further and obediently kowtowed three more times. After finishing, she didn’t rush to get up but instead brought the cake over and looked up at Yi Yun. “Master, can I let Auntie taste my birthday cake?”

The offerings in the temple had specific rules.

Yi Yun smiled slightly. “Of course.”

He was about to step forward, but Ye Lingfeng suddenly took a step forward and took the cake from Zhouzhou. “Let me do it.”

Yi Yun looked at him, about to say “okay,” but when his gaze fell on Ye Lingfeng’s face, his eyes suddenly froze.

He blinked, almost thinking he was mistaken. Then he looked at Zhouzhou, and the usually gentle and compassionate gaze widened slightly, filled with surprise.

This Mr. Ye was clearly Zhouzhou’s father!
