After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Has He Been Cuckolded?
With a lick of her lips, Zhouzhou tucked the rice from the corner of her mouth inside, saying, “It was me.”

Grandma Huo felt as if the world had turned surreal.

The two little rascals remained oblivious, each uttering their piece to complete the narrative.

Huo Ji’an spoke first, “When I first arrived, I didn’t eat. Chubby girl wasn’t enough with her food, so she ate mine.”

Zhouzhou chimed in, “I didn’t eat for nothing, you know. I used medicine as payment for meals.”

Huo Ji’an continued, “At first, I thought she was joking, so I didn’t eat. But later, chubby girl swapped my medicine for a fragrant one. It made me hungry at night, so I started eating.”

This was something Zhouzhou was unaware of.

She turned to look at him, wearing an expression that said, “So, you didn’t trust me.”

As they discussed this, Huo Ji’an began to feel somewhat guilty and promptly shifted the blame, “Uncle Sweetie stopped me from eating. He said we shouldn’t eat random things.”

Zhouzhou let out a light hum, her lips pouting in displeasure. She decided not to give Uncle Sweetie any candy tomorrow.

The punishment for not trusting her!

Having narrowly escaped, Huo Ji’an breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Huo watched his expression and couldn’t help but smile along.

Although they later discovered the abuse suffered by their grandson and drove Luo Tingting away, the damage caused was irreversible.

He suffered from anorexia and psychological trauma.

Since that incident, Huo Ji’an’s temper hadn’t been very good, and he no longer played with children his age.

Unexpectedly, he had made such a good friend in kindergarten.

For a moment, she felt melancholic.

Thinking of another matter, she curiously asked, “What’s the deal with the ‘rented dad’?”

With suspicion, she glanced at Ye Lingfeng.

If he didn’t seem so familiar with chubby girl, she would have suspected him of being a human trafficker.

Ye Lingfeng casually sat in a chair, using chopsticks to pick out food for Zhouzhou, unconcerned about her inquiries.

This time, Huo Ji’an answered himself, “I pay Uncle Ye fifty yuan a day to pick me up from school. Uncle Ye is also chubby girl’s dad, you know. She has two dads, both of whom treat her very well. So, I want to find myself another dad too!”

It’s a pity Uncle Ye didn’t want to be rented for life.

Why, because he wasn’t chubby enough?

He glanced at Zhouzhou, who was already on her seventh bowl of rice, and suddenly realized.

Indeed, he was lacking in comparison to chubby girl.

Oh well.

Little did Grandma Huo know, upon hearing this, she was completely dumbfounded. “Another, another one?”

“Yes,” Huo Ji’an said earnestly, “Who says a person can only have one dad? Grandma, you should broaden your horizons.”

Grandma Huo: “Um?”

Although puzzled, upon careful consideration of his words, it seemed, there was some sense to it?

As for that idiot Huo Mingxuan, how could he be considered a good father to her good grandson?

He didn’t even know when his child was being bullied.

Even after the bullies left, he just worked every day and broke promises. Wasn’t that another form of bullying?

With such an unreliable biological father, wouldn’t it be unfair to Ji’an if he didn’t find another father?

Thinking this through, Grandma Huo’s mindset suddenly opened up.

It made sense!

She blinked, looking at her grandson who was happily eating, seeing a smile on his face she had never seen before, and felt a little moved.

Forget it, as long as the child is happy.

Anyway, Huo Mingxuan couldn’t even recognize his own biological son. It was best not to have such a father.

She resolutely refused to admit that she didn’t recognize him at the time.

It was all Huo Mingxuan’s fault for misleading her. Blame him.

Indeed.

Without any psychological burden, Grandma Huo instantly became magnanimous and happily served her grandson some more dishes.

“Have some more, eat until you’re as chubby as little chubby girl, so adorable,” Huo Ji’an nodded in agreement, adding another small portion of rice.

Once he fattened up too, Uncle Ye should agree to be his dad for life, right?

Upon seeing this, Zhouzhou immediately filled her bowl to the brim again.

Seeing Huo Ji’an struggle to eat after a few mouthfuls, she couldn’t help but pat his arm, gesturing for him to watch her, then proceeded to finish the entire bowl in front of him.

After finishing, she cast a glance at him, perhaps feeling a bit intimidated.

Thinking she’s cute? In your next life, maybe!

Her master said, few could out-eat her!

It’s her innate talent!

Understanding her intentions, Huo Ji’an patted his own belly, wanting another bowl, but alas, no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t fit any more.

He couldn’t help but envy her, really impressive.

It seemed hopeless to find Uncle Ye as his dad after all. Oh well, he’ll find someone else who can’t eat as much as her.

Chubby girl was just too formidable, really hard to compete with.

After finishing their meal and chatting for a while, seeing the two little ones getting sleepy, Grandma Huo reluctantly suggested taking them back to school.

The kindergarten was just across the street. Zhouzhou, originally planning to walk herself, was lifted up by Ye Lingfeng. Her small body relaxed, her chin resting on his shoulder, and she fell asleep in no time.

Huo Ji’an didn’t get such a good treatment. He was only held by Ye Lingfeng with one arm around his waist, quite perfunctorily.

He didn’t mind, closing his eyes and falling asleep too.

Watching this scene, Grandma Huo felt both heartache and contentment.

There was a designated resting area in the kindergarten, and by now, many of the children had already been lulled to sleep by the teachers.

Ye Lingfeng walked in quietly, first putting Huo Ji’an down.

Huo Ji’an groggily opened his eyes, kicked off his shoes, rolled into his little bed, and fell asleep again.

Dealing with Zhouzhou, Ye Lingfeng was much more careful. He held her with both hands, gently placing her on the small bed, then lightly covered her with a blanket, squatting beside her, gently patting her.

Zhouzhou didn’t wake up at all during the entire process, sleeping soundly.

Ye Lingfeng was tall, and everything in the kindergarten was mini-sized. He squatted by the small bed, his long legs looking a bit cramped, but he didn’t mind at all, looking at Zhouzhou with a gentle expression.

This scene also moved Grandma Huo a little.

If only her useless son had a bit of this awareness, her grandson wouldn’t need to rent a dad outside.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She took out her phone, tapping heavily on it, and sent a message.

At this moment, Huo Mingxuan had just finished socializing and was about to go to a meeting when his phone suddenly rang.

He lowered his head to look, but was stunned.

[Don’t bother coming back, stick with your work for the rest of your life! When Ji’an finds his dad, I’ll go live with my new son! — From Mom]

Huo Mingxuan: “?” What does that mean?

He stared at the message, his eyes widening slightly.

What, Ji’an isn’t his biological son? Has he been cuckolded?

His gaze shifted, and he saw the next sentence. The surprise in his eyes deepened, his brows furrowing tightly.

Could it be that he’s not his father’s biological son either?
