After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Qin Caicai’s First Day of Weight Loss
“What?”

Who’s going bankrupt?

When did this happen?

How could he not know?

Qin Lie was completely puzzled, and his heart tightened. He bent down and asked Zhouzhou, “Why would you say that? Did you notice something?”

She was adept at fortune-telling.

Zhouzhou shook her head, pointing her chubby little paw in Grandma Qin’s direction. “Grandma said, Grandma said that I can’t eat too much meat in the future. Before Master sent me down the mountain, it was the same, asking me to eat less.”

As she spoke, she nervously touched her belly and tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged his leg and sobbed, “Daddy, don’t send me away, I promise I’ll earn money properly.”

Huo Ji’an nodded nervously beside her. “Uncle Qin, I’ll give you all my money too, please don’t send Chubby Girl away.”

With that, he emptied his pockets of all the loose change.

Ignoring him, Qin Lie looked towards Grandma Qin.

Grandma Qin hadn’t expected to make her granddaughter cry with just one sentence, and she even thought about whether their family was going bankrupt and didn’t want her anymore.

She felt a bit guilty, but then she remembered that this whole thing started because of Qin Lie, so she straightened her back and looked back at him defiantly.

“Zhouzhou just asked me if she would be expelled from elementary school for not growing tall.”

After saying that, she provocatively looked at Qin Lie. This wasn’t her idea.

He could explain it himself.

At this moment, Qin Lie instantly understood what was going on, and he lowered his head to look at the short and chubby little girl. He also understood what his wife meant by eating less meat.

Looking at the chubby girl who was already preparing to beg for food, Qin Lie’s lips twitched slightly.

Could it be that, purely, she’s just chubby?

But Zhouzhou had never thought in that direction at all. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked up at Qin Lie, breaking his heart.

Qin Lie couldn’t bear it any longer. He bent down and picked up the chubby girl, gently wiping her little face with his fingertips and pinching her chubby cheeks, falling silent for a moment.

Then he spoke again, “Don’t cry, our family is not going bankrupt. Even if we did, Daddy wouldn’t abandon you. You’re my daughter, after all.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou finally relaxed, hugging his neck and rubbing her chubby face against it, softly saying, “Daddy, whether we have money or not, don’t ever reject me.”

Qin Lie’s big hand patted her back gently, feeling her slight trembling. He knew she was genuinely afraid of being abandoned.

His expression darkened slightly, but his tone towards her remained gentle, “That day will never come.”

Despite her mischievous antics when she tricked her master into taking her down the mountain, she had done a lot of psychological preparation for that day, accepting the possibility of being abandoned.

Thinking of the little girl who hadn’t grown tall yet, crying secretly under her blanket at night, worrying every day about being sent away, Qin Lie’s heart clenched.

How could she be called a little troublemaker? She was clearly a precious treasure.

He tilted his head slightly, leaning it against her little head. This time, Qin Lie didn’t hide anything from Zhouzhou. He didn’t want her to overthink, so he spoke the truth, “Zhouzhou, Grandma said that because she thinks you’re a bit chubby.”

After saying that, he emphasized, “That’s just her opinion. I don’t think so. Daddy thinks you’re perfect and very cute right now.”

What did that mean?

Did he suggest that she was criticizing her granddaughter?

Grandma Qin’s eyes widened in disbelief. She never expected him to pass the blame so quickly.

Who told the household staff to cut down on meat?

Grandma Qin gritted her teeth in anger, glaring at him fiercely, and immediately followed up, “Zhouzhou, don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense. Grandma loves you the most. No matter how you are, Grandma loves you. Even if you weigh two hundred pounds, I’ll still love you.”

She meant every word!

She didn’t criticize Zhouzhou for being chubby just now; she just wanted her to grow a bit taller.

Hearing their words, Zhouzhou blinked, touched her chubby double chin, pinched her chubby arms, and then looked down at Huo Ji’an on the ground, suddenly enlightened.

Oh, she was a little chubby.

So that’s what Grandma meant!

Now she didn’t have to worry about being sent away anymore.

Feeling relieved, her dangling short legs swung happily.

Even though she was called chubby, Zhouzhou didn’t get angry. “It’s okay, I’ll just eat less in the future and exercise more. I’ll definitely lose weight and be as skinny as Little Skinny Pole!”

Qin Lie pinched her chubby cheeks, “You don’t need to lose weight. You’re perfect as you are.”

Grandma Qin nodded along, “Just eat normally, you’re still young. No need to lose weight. Grandma didn’t consider it carefully earlier, Grandma apologizes to you, Zhouzhou.”

After careful consideration, children are children. What’s wrong with being a bit chubby? Maybe when she grows up a bit, she’ll naturally slim down and even grow taller.

Her Zhouzhou was just biding her time.

Huo Ji’an also vigorously nodded his head, “Yeah, Chubby Girl, you shouldn’t be too skinny. Otherwise, you’ll become a skinny girl, not pretty. My grandma said that chubby kids are blessed.”

Huo’s grandma was a staunch supporter of chubby kids.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked, “So should I lose weight or not?”

She was confused.

“Don’t lose weight,” three voices said simultaneously.

Qin Lie said, “No need to lose weight. I asked Ye Lingfeng, he was chubby when he was young, but later he slimmed down and grew taller. You’ve inherited his physique.”

At his words, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, thinking of Ye Lingfeng’s tall figure. In an instant, she felt ambitious and straightened her small chest, saying, “I’ll grow as tall as Sharp Tongue Daddy in the future!”

Hearing this, Qin Lie’s eyelids twitched.

Not necessarily.

But Zhouzhou pinched her own chubby waist and said, “Then I’ll eat one less bowl of rice at each meal and exercise more.”

She felt like she was a bit chubbier than other kids.

Thinking that she could eat nine bowls of rice in one meal, Qin Lie didn’t stop her this time.

Although the chubby girl indeed had a lot of fat, she grew well. The fat on her face didn’t squish her features together; instead, her chubby cheeks made her look even cuter.

Her chubby arms and legs resembled lotus roots, making people happy to see them, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But since she said so, let her do something about it.

Grandma Qin also gently tapped her own mouth, reminding herself not to speak carelessly in the future. Children were easily influenced.

Seeing Zhouzhou’s emotions calming down, Qin Lie put her down, “Go play, and go to bed early later. Sleeping early can make you taller.”

“Yeah yeah!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, took a step and ran upstairs, “Then I’ll go to bed now.”

Thinking that Huo Mingxuan was a bit shorter than Ye Lingfeng, and fearing that she wouldn’t grow taller than Chubby Girl in the future, Huo Ji’an hurriedly said, “I’m going too!”

Chubby Girl had said it, the early bird catches the worm.

He wanted to go to bed one minute earlier than her!

Seeing the two children being so spontaneous, Qin Lie didn’t say anything.

The Qin family also had a room for Huo Ji’an. Without saying a word, he lay down on the bed, worrying that he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep.

As a result, a hint of bitterness came to his nose. He subconsciously sniffed it, and the next moment, his breathing immediately calmed down, and he fell into a deep sleep.

A figure also jumped out of the cabinet and looked at the unconscious Huo Ji’an, sneering.

Ye Lingfeng, let’s see if you can still be arrogant now!
