After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Why Keep the Old Dad When There’s a New One
“Little Skinny Pole, let’s go then. See you tomorrow,” Zhouzhou held Qin Lie’s hand downstairs, waving chubby claws at Huo Ji’an.

Huo Ji’an, now happily with his new dad, had all his attention on him. Hearing this, he waved his hand without hesitation, “Goodbye, chubby girl!”

Watching their figures disappear, Huo Ji’an finally felt happy, “Dad, let’s go home!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Ze was taken aback, looking down at the bright-eyed little boy, still not quite used to being called ‘dad.’

“You can call me uncle.”

“No.” Huo Ji’an shook his head decisively, holding both of Yu Ze’s hands stubbornly. “You are my dad.”

The boy, young as he was, had already become quite stubborn and refused to change his mind.

Helplessly, Yu Ze led him upstairs. He lived on the fourth floor of this renowned old and run-down complex with no elevator and broken stairwell lights that no one came to fix.

Everything was very crude.

Yu Ze turned on the flashlight on his phone, looking down at Huo Ji’an. He saw that the boy didn’t mind at all, tightly holding his hand with a smile on his face.

Moved by his innocent smile, Yu Ze didn’t say much more, silently leading him upstairs, unconsciously shifting the light source towards his side to prevent him from stumbling.

Noticing this scene, Huo Ji’an smiled even more happily. He really liked his new dad!

When they reached upstairs, the two looked at each other. Yu Ze had never taken care of a child before and now felt a little lost.

He looked at Huo Ji’an in his exquisite little suit and could tell instantly that the boy came from a well-off family.

Unable to help himself, Yu Ze asked, “If you already have a dad, why did you want to find another one?”

Hearing this, Huo Ji’an pouted and waved his little chicken claw, “Don’t mention him. A qualified former dad shouldn’t come back from the dead.”

Yu Ze: “…”

Furrowing his brow, Yu Ze looked at him for a long time and said dryly, “So what should we do now?”

“Bath, then sleep.” Huo Ji’an’s eyes rolled around, then he straightened his little chest and said confidently, “Dad, I’m still young, I don’t know how to bathe, can you help me?”

Indeed, he was still very young.

Yu Ze didn’t think much, nodded, and didn’t notice the craftiness that flashed in Huo Ji’an’s eyes.

The new dad was really good. The former dad always handed him over to the nanny and had never helped him bathe.

Never mind.

Forget it.

Completely ignoring Huo Mingxuan, Huo Ji’an quickly took off his clothes and followed him into the bathroom.

Although it was called a bathroom, it only had a simple shower head and no bathtub. Huo Ji’an had never seen such a small bathroom before.

But it was still very clean inside. He didn’t think much and looked up at Yu Ze with expectant eyes.

Yu Ze obediently helped him wash, occasionally using too much force because he wasn’t used to it, but Huo Ji’an never complained.

Huo Ji’an wiped the water off his face and quietly observed Yu Ze.

To bathe him, Yu Ze had to bend over, so close that he could see the concentration in his eyes clearly.

There was only him in Yu Ze’s dark pupils.

Huo Ji’an liked this feeling and couldn’t help but lean over and kiss his face.

Yu Ze paused, hearing the soft voice of the child: “Dad, I will definitely be good to you in the future, only you one dad, earn money to spend on you, buy a big house for you, raise old and send you …”

Before the last word was spoken, his hand was suddenly covered by someone.

Yu Ze quickly rinsed the foam off him, wrapped him in a bath towel and carried him out, shifting his attention.

Although he was now in a low point, he had never thought about this type of thing.

Within a day, hearing the children mention sending him away twice, he felt a bit overwhelmed.

Huo Ji’an, unaware of his new dad’s thoughts, sat cross-legged on the bed, obediently allowing him to towel dry his hair, then tentatively asked, “Dad, can you tell me a bedtime story?”

Yu Ze thought for a moment and honestly replied, “I need to search on my phone first.”

That was acceptable.

Huo Ji’an brightened up and said with a smile, “It’s okay, Dad, take your time.”

Seeing him so happy, Yu Ze looked at him suspiciously. Was there really a need to be this happy?

Of course there was! It mattered a lot!

Kids from the kindergarten said their parents always told them bedtime stories before sleep. Huo Ji’an had tried to mention it to Huo Mingxuan, but he had just bought him a story machine, which made him so mad that he smashed it on the same day.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt his new dad was great. Thanks to chubby girl for helping him find him, he would buy her something tasty to thank her tomorrow.

At this moment, Zhouzhou also got into the car, looking at the coins’ hexagram, and smiled happily. “Little Skinny Pole’s dad is really nice.” She felt they were a perfect match.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie didn’t say anything, but couldn’t help but think of Yu Ze’s situation, feeling a headache coming on.

He had originally thought the idea of finding a new dad was just a joke, but he hadn’t expected the two little ones to actually find one.

And it turned out to be him. Speaking of Yu Ze, he wasn’t actually a stranger. He had heard Qin Yan mention him before.

He was once a genius figure in the entertainment industry, exploding onto the scene with his superb acting skills in his first role, coupled with his good looks and high musical talent.

He quickly became a triple threat and rose to the top worldwide. He kept a low profile and had never been involved in scandals, which attracted even more fans.

However, he never expected that the higher he rose, the harder he would fall when accidents happened. One scandal directly ruined him.

Three years ago, a female actress claimed he took advantage of her and even released photos showing his hand holding hers, while her face was full of displeasure.

In an instant, the label of a cheeky man was stamped on Yu Ze’s head, followed by a torrent of scandals drowning him.

Former colleagues and classmates jumped out one by one to “expose” him. Overnight, the once top star became a scapegoat for everyone to vilify.

Curses, ostracism, and financial difficulties swarmed in, and soon there was no news of Yu Ze. At the time, Qin Yan was quite regretful about it.

Qin Lie thought he would never see him again, but he didn’t expect to meet him here, still living in such a dilapidated place. However, he didn’t mention these things, lest it sully Zhouzhou’s ears.

Glancing at the little girl in the rearview mirror, seeing her smile, Qin Lie couldn’t help but ask, “Zhouzhou, are you sure Yu Ze is really Huo Ji’an’s new dad?”

“Sure!” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her little head, pinching her chubby fingers and counting again, excitedly saying, “Uncle is about to turn things around, and Little Skinny Pole will have a dad to love him from now on.”

Saying this, she suddenly exclaimed, tilting her head, “But, Uncle’s career this time still has some ups and downs. He’ll either become very wealthy or even poorer than I used to be. It depends on whether he can seize this opportunity.”

Speaking up to here, Zhouzhou still seemed a bit worried. Qin Lie remained silent, but made a decision in his heart…
