After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 452

Chapter 452: Daddy Qin’s Online Persuasion
He was smiling when suddenly he saw another comment pop up. It was from Yu Ze, who said, “So Ji’an wants to learn characters now. I can teach him when I read bedtime stories to him at night.”

He actually reads bedtime stories to the young master. Now, that’s a real good dad, with genuine patience. He couldn’t help but reply, “A great dad indeed.” He added a thumbs-up emoji.

After posting, it took him a minute to suddenly realize something. He opened his social media feed in a hurry, hands trembling.

He was about to delete that comment when a phone call came in.

He jolted, almost dropping his phone, causing the two kids to look up at him with confusion.

Huo Ji’an was a bit annoyed, “Uncle Sweetie, go outside to make your call. Don’t disturb us while we’re studying.”

They were still studying, and his life was nearly slipping away.

Zhouzhou glanced at his expression and suddenly said, “Uncle Sweetie, you’re going to lose money.”

The bodyguard’s face instantly turned bitter. How coincidental, he had the same thought.

Seeing the bold “Huo Mingxuan” on the screen, he hurriedly ran out, finding a corner to lean against the wall for support before answering the call cautiously. “Hello, sir.”

On the other end, Huo Mingxuan’s voice came through, “What did Yu Ze do?”

“Huh?” The tone was calm, not the angry shout he had imagined. The bodyguard was momentarily stunned, unable to react.

Huo Mingxuan frowned, looking at his reply. He pointed out with some impatience, “What did he do to make you think he’s a good dad?”

The bodyguard smiled awkwardly, not daring to lie. He could only read Yu Ze’s comment word for word. Seeing no response from the other end, he felt his heart rise to his throat.

Huo Mingxuan lowered his eyebrows. Storytelling? He remembered, Huo Ji’an used to ask him to tell stories, but where did he have the time?

He always asked him to find a nanny instead. Later on, he seemed to have torn up all the storybooks.

At that time, he only thought he was being unreasonable, but he didn’t think deeper into it.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Mingxuan realized that he hadn’t done well before. But he would change. However, there was no need to tell the bodyguard that. He continued, “No bonus this month.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The bodyguard burst into louder sobs. Waaah, what kind of mess did he get himself into? Why did he rely to Yu Ze’s comment just now?

He even forgot that Huo Mingxuan could see his replies when he liked his posts. He walked back dejectedly, catching the attention of Zhouzhou and Huo Ji’an.

Seeing him like this, they couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Sweetie, what’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

At this, the bodyguard looked at Huo Ji’an, sighed, and tilted his head in a sad expression, looking at the sky.

Seeing his expression, Huo Ji’an understood. He licked his candy and said, “It must be your former dad bullying Uncle Sweetie. He’s just very unreasonable.” He shook his head sympathetically at the bodyguard.

Zhouzhou looked at his troubled expression and sighed, “Making money is really not easy.”

After saying that, she took a deep breath and continued to bury herself in learning characters.

The TV said that kids need to win at the starting line. She couldn’t slack off. That’s right!

After starting to study, Zhouzhou used her daytime wisely, not letting go of her dictionary. By the afternoon, Huo Ji’an couldn’t sit still and pulled at her sleeve.

“Chubby Girl, let’s go out and play for a while,” he said, eagerly watching the happy kids outside, his face filled with anticipation.

Zhouzhou shook her head, earnestly saying, “No, we haven’t finished learning yet. Brother Dafu said that earning scholarships nowadays is difficult; we need to work harder.”

“But we’ve been studying for so long,” Huo Ji’an said, his eyes sparkling with exhaustion.

“After we finish learning, we need to take a break. Besides, we still have several years before we go to primary school.”

Zhouzhou did some calculations with her chubby hands. She was only in kindergarten now, so there were still two years left.

It felt so slow. She wondered if there was any way to speed it up. She couldn’t wait to start taking advantage of the school’s benefits.

“Okay,” Zhouzhou compromised, “let’s go out and play for a while then.”

It seemed like big brother didn’t study all the time either.

“Yeah!” Huo Ji’an’s eyes lit up. He grabbed Zhouzhou’s hand and ran outside, playing happily for a while. When the school bell rang in the afternoon, they reluctantly lined up to go back.

Zhouzhou was still at the front.

Qin Lie arrived ten minutes early, looking at his little “shorty” of a daughter with some worry.

This wouldn’t do; Zhouzhou’s height was a bit of a problem. He needed to figure out a way to make her gain some weight.

Unaware of his thoughts, Zhouzhou ran over with her short legs like a little koala, hanging on to his leg and swaying gently. “Daddy, I miss you!”

Qin Lie chuckled, bending down to lift the chubby girl up, gently pinching her cheek. “It’s still early. Want to go for a walk?”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou nodded her little head, but she looked puzzled, holding his face and asking, “Daddy, are you tired?”

He never used to like going out before.

Patting his shoulder, she said, “It’s okay, I’ll accompany Daddy.”

Qin Lie smiled, without explaining anything. He glanced at the obedient Qin Feng standing beside him and gestured for him to follow.

As for the twins, Qin Nan and Qin Bei, they had already tacitly run to the car with the Qin family driver as soon as Qin Lie looked over. They didn’t want to be with their little uncle.

Huo Ji’an quickly raised his hand and said, “Chubby Girl, I want to play too!”

“Sure, come along. It’s more fun with more people.”

“Yeah yeah!” Huo Ji’an nodded vigorously, looking up at Yu Ze expectantly.

Yu Ze nodded, a gentle glint in his eyes. Watching the instantly happy kids, he smiled too.

Qin Lie took them to a nearby snack street. Zhouzhou clung to him, bringing up what had just happened. “Daddy, can I go to primary school early?”

She didn’t want to wait for two years.

Qin Lie wasn’t surprised by her idea. He said, “Based on your age, you should be in the middle class. But we thought you might not be able to adapt since you’ve never attended school before, so we put you in the junior class. When the next semester starts, you can go straight to the senior class. That way, you’ll be right on track for primary school.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she was just about to speak when he suddenly changed his tone.

“However,” Qin Lie glanced at Zhouzhou, “there is a height requirement for the senior class. You now…”

He looked at Zhouzhou with some difficulty.

Qin Feng tilted his head to look at him and blinked. Height requirements? How come he didn’t know about this?

Huo Ji’an was also puzzled and was about to speak when Yu Ze suddenly squeezed his hand. Huo Ji’an looked up and saw him giving a meaningful look, signaling him not to say anything.

Although strange, Huo Ji’an obediently kept quiet.

Zhouzhou had never even attended school. She didn’t suspect a thing and immediately panicked, “What should I do, Dad? If my height isn’t enough, can I make up for it with my weight?”

Saying this, she stretched out her two chubby hands, fingers spread wide, proudly proclaiming, “I can eat ten bowls of rice now.”

Even if her vertical growth wasn’t great, she could still grow horizontally!

Qin Lie switched her to his other arm and coldly replied, “No, you must meet the height requirement.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s face fell in distress, “What if I can’t grow taller? Dad, do you have any methods?”

Qin Lie nodded, and under her expectant gaze, he slowly revealed his true intention, lazily uttering two words: “Eat meat.”
