After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: Selling Herself Too
Upon hearing this, Qin Lie glanced at him and didn’t refuse the hand Zhouzhou offered. He lowered his head and took a bite, calmly saying, “It’s pretty delicious.”

Ye Lingfeng: “!”

Provocation! Blatant provocation!

He was infuriated, but Zhouzhou, upon hearing his words, happily handed the cotton candy to Qin Lie and said, “Then, Dad, you eat it!”

Seeing Qin Lie’s face freeze instantly, Ye Lingfeng laughed in satisfaction. It was a case of sacrificing a thousand troops to harm the enemy, but he didn’t mind.

“Eat it, it’s Zhouzhou’s filial piety. If CEO Qin refuses, it would be a waste of her intentions,” Ye Lingfeng said, adding fuel to the fire.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie’s expression remained unchanged. He finished the tooth-aching sweet cotton candy without changing his expression and glanced back at Ye Lingfeng.

Formidable person.

Ye Lingfeng admired him.

He rolled his eyes and was about to leave after getting into the car. However, at that moment, a car suddenly stopped in front of them.

Ye Lingfeng squinted his eyes, his aura instantly turning cold. He glanced casually at the newcomer and his demeanor changed instantly. “Mr. Huo.”

The person who arrived was Huo Mingxuan.

He got out of the car and looked down at Huo Ji’an, furrowing his eyebrows. “Go home.”

Huo Ji’an didn’t move and asked, “Did you look for me yesterday?”

Huo Mingxuan hesitated. He had worked until past 2 a.m. last night and thought he should have already been asleep. So he didn’t check. He rushed to the company for a meeting in the morning, and his phone was switched off throughout the day. He only just found out that Huo Ji’an had run away from home.

Seeing his reaction, Huo Ji’an guessed the result. Disappointment flashed through his eyes, and he hummed heavily, turned his head, and arrogantly said, “I don’t need you anymore. I have a new dad now.”

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Lingfeng.

Huo Mingxuan followed his gaze and frowned even more.

He didn’t know Ye Lingfeng’s identity, but he knew he used to be from the Ye family, and the recent turmoil in the Ye family was caused by him. He didn’t have a good impression of him instinctively. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this?”

“Don’t ask me. I’m just a rented dad. Fifty yuan a day,” Ye Lingfeng casually replied. He took away half of the money, acting as the middleman and profiting from the difference. Selling him turned out to be quite smooth.

Ye Lingfeng lightly snorted.

“Nonsense.” Huo Mingxuan’s eyes instantly turned cold. He walked over to pull Huo Ji’an.

But unexpectedly, his wrist was firmly grasped by a hand. He struggled a bit but couldn’t move. He couldn’t help but look up in surprise.

He saw Ye Lingfeng casually holding his wrist. “What are you doing? Ruining my business?”

Zhouzhou watched the commotion and, upon hearing those two words, hurriedly covered her bag nervously and said loudly, “I’ve already given you the money. No refunds if you change your mind!”

Ye Lingfeng twitched at the corner of his mouth, suppressing the urge to roll his eyes. Was that the main point?

All she cared about was making money every day!

For a moment, he and Huo Ji’an had the same resentment.

But indeed, he couldn’t let him take Huo Ji’an away, otherwise, he would lose one hour every day.

With that in mind, he spoke, “Mr. Huo, if there’s nothing else, please move the car. We’re leaving.”

Huo Ji’an also nodded and directly sat in Ye Lingfeng’s car, with Zhouzhou sitting beside him. This made Huo Mingxuan’s temples throb.

Just as he was about to get angry, his bodyguard said, “Mr. Huo, it’s better to listen to the young master. He’s clearly still angry now. If you push too hard, it won’t end well, and the young master’s body can’t handle it either.”

Huo Ji’an couldn’t eat properly, let alone having other health issues. It was easy for accidents to happen when he was angry.

Huo Mingxuan pressed his lips together, suppressing his anger. He glanced at Huo Ji’an in the car, who still showed no intention of getting out, and without saying a word, he turned and left, slamming the car door shut.

Zhouzhou was attracted by his actions and said to Huo Ji’an, “Skinny Pole, I finally know where your habit of smashing things comes from.”

They were both true to their roots.

Thinking about it, she nervously said, “You can’t break our things. If you break them, you have to pay!”

“I know,” Huo Ji’an said sullenly. He didn’t break things every time, only when he was in a bad mood.

However, Zhouzhou was still worried about him and said earnestly, “Throwing things away is a waste of money. If you’re unhappy, you can pick fights with people instead.”

After saying that, she glanced at his small frame and collided with the roof, “Oh, forget it. It’s better not to. You’ll definitely get beaten up in a fight.”

Although Huo Ji’an was weak, he didn’t want to admit it. He looked angrily at the chubby little girl and said, “You’d be knocked down with just one punch.”

“Not at all! I’m the one who can knock people down!” Zhouzhou proudly raised her chin, but in Huo Ji’an’s eyes, it was just bragging. He didn’t believe it and scoffed, “I don’t believe you. You definitely can’t beat me.”

Ye Lingfeng, who had just entered, heard their conversation and raised an eyebrow, glancing at Huo Ji’an from head to toe. No wonder this kid didn’t eat. He was full on hot air alone. Quite good at bragging, huh? Zhouzhou could easily knock him down with just one finger!

The two little kids sat in the backseat, saying similar things. The only difference was that Zhouzhou spoke the truth, while Huo Ji’an was purely boasting.

An Ya sat in the passenger seat, occasionally turning back and smiling at them.

After getting off the car, Zhouzhou was about to return to the Qin family, but suddenly, someone picked her up. Instinctively, she swung her chubby little arms.

To her surprise, Ye Lingfeng had already anticipated it. He raised his hand and held both her wrists together, securely holding her and preventing her from moving. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “Did you forget about the promise you made to me?”

To spend an hour alone with him.

Zhouzhou lowered her little head and said to Qin Lie, “Dad, I’m going to earn money first. I’ll be back soon.”

She explained their agreement, realizing that she had forgotten about it while being busy counting money yesterday.

Qin Lie furrowed his brows slightly, suddenly realizing that this deal was not worth it. It seemed like he had sold Ye Lingfeng, but Zhouzhou was also sold.

What a silly girl.

However, the words were already spoken, and if Zhouzhou didn’t comply, she would likely be struck by lightning. Helplessly, Qin Lie nodded and said, “I’ll come pick you up in an hour.”

“Okay, okay.”

The father and daughter reluctantly separated, as if he were some kind of bully. Ye Lingfeng felt somewhat annoyed and carried Zhouzhou towards the Ye family.

An Ya smiled apologetically at Qin Lie and quickly followed them.

Zhouzhou was initially a little unhappy, but when she looked up and saw a golden bucket on the dining table, her eyes instantly lit up. Excitedly patting Ye Lingfeng’s shoulder, she signaled for him to put her down.

Ye Lingfeng did as she asked and smiled as he watched the little girl climb onto the chair, hugging the small golden bucket and laughing until her eyes curved.

With his hands in his pockets, Ye Lingfeng looked at Zhouzhou with a smile in his eyes. What a money-minded little girl.

The small golden bucket was short and chubby, with a cute appearance. There were carvings of pixiu on the sides, and it was made of pure gold. Zhouzhou couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!” Her round eyes followed his hand as she excitedly asked, “Sharp Tongue Uncle, is this for me?”

“Yes, do you like it?”

“I like it!” Zhouzhou emphatically nodded her little head, hugging the small golden bucket tightly and causing Huo Ji’an to comment, “Money lover.”

She didn’t mind and climbed onto the chair, only to find that the dishes on the table were also quite good. Curiously, she asked, “Sharp Tongue Uncle, did you make these?”

“Yeah,” Ye Lingfeng pretended to be casual. “I learned from your mom, and I succeed just tired once.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ji’an wrinkled his small face, looking at him speechlessly. Nonsense. He clearly saw “Dad” studying all night and talking to the air, strange and peculiar.

But Zhouzhou was oblivious to the situation. She exclaimed, “Wow!” and said, “You’re amazing!” Then, she started eating while hugging the bucket.

Ye Lingfeng also brought out a wooden bucket and the father and daughter competed to eat, each one eating more than the other. Huo Ji’an couldn’t help but touch his stomach, feeling the pain just by watching them.

It hurt to watch.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Ye Lingfeng asked casually when he noticed that Huo Ji’an wasn’t moving.

Huo Ji’an shook his head. “I don’t eat.”

Oh right, he had an eating disorder.

Zhouzhou also remembered this and reached into her bag while hugging the bucket. She took out a pill, which had a different fragrance compared to before. She had made an improvement so that she didn’t have to eat it; smelling it was enough.

Huo Ji’an didn’t know about this change, so he didn’t say anything and skillfully accepted it.

After finishing their meal, Zhouzhou was watched TV with Ye Lingfeng for an hour before being picked up by Qin Lie.

As he watched Zhouzhou instantly become happy as soon as she saw Qin Lie, Ye Lingfeng’s face darkened.

There was someone outside!
