After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 586

Chapter 586: Three Hundred Thousand Has Arrived!
After flying for more than four hours, the plane finally landed on an island.

There was already another plane parked there, belonging to Xi Mo and his team.

This island was specially chosen by them for this competition.

Having only participated in competitions at the Fourth Bureau before, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but be curious, pressing her chubby little face against the window to look outside.

Upon landing, she saw the tall figure outside and her eyes lit up. As soon as the door opened, she couldn’t wait to run over, arms outstretched like a swallow returning to its nest.

“Uncle!” she exclaimed.

Xi Mo caught the little chubby girl’s head steadily, his stern expression softening instantly.

“Uncle, uncle,” Zhouzhou exclaimed happily, pressing her chubby face against his neck and swinging her short legs happily in the air.

“I missed you so much.”

Her soft voice instantly melted Xi Mo’s heart.

He patted Zhouzhou’s little head and said gently, “Uncle missed you too.”

“I know!” Zhouzhou said proudly, holding her chubby face, “I’m so cute, how could Uncle not miss me? He must miss me a lot!”

Xi Mo chuckled and pinched the little girl’s nose, gently rubbing her forehead against his.

He couldn’t imagine someone in this world not like this little girl.

Ye Lingfeng was used to seeing this kind of scene, but Ma Hao and the others were not as composed.

They were all shocked, unable to help but marvel.

My, is this still the cold-blooded Military King they knew?

He didn’t seem cold-blooded at all; look how gentle he was smiling.

Seeing this, they couldn’t help but smirk.

It seemed that the strategy they had just discussed was completely effective. Xi Mo couldn’t resist Zhouzhou at all.

Humph, did they really think that her little chubby body was just for show? Every ounce of it would surely play its part.

Even Luo Jin and Lu Ye looked at them in slight surprise.

Then they remembered their own attitude towards Zhouzhou and didn’t find it surprising anymore.

After all, this little chubby girl was indeed quite charming.

However, Ye Lingfeng wasn’t as happy.

He stood aside with his hands in his pockets, sourly saying, “Alright, that’s enough. You’ve been hugging for one minute already.”

At his words, Xi Mo glanced over, his expression suddenly turning cold.

Ye Lingfeng also looked over with a similar expression. The two of them looked at each other, their faces equally indifferent.

If it weren’t for Zhouzhou still in Xi Mo’s arms, it would be hard to tell that they were related at all.

It was just that Xi Mo didn’t acknowledge this relationship, and Ye Lingfeng didn’t care for it.

When he met An Ya, she was an orphan, and only when something happened did her family show some interest.

Not to mention Xi Mo.

He was already resentful towards Ye Lingfeng because of An Ya’s situation. He managed to keep his composure and not start a fight as soon as they met, all for Zhouzhou’s sake.

Now, seeing each other, they were completely like strangers.

They didn’t hide it, and Zhouzhou wasn’t a fool, she naturally noticed.

She sighed heavily, looking from one to the other.

Adults are really troublesome.

Why can’t they just get along peacefully, sigh.

The heavy sighs of the little girl attracted the attention of both men.

“What’s wrong?” Xi Mo’s gaze softened instantly as he asked gently.

“Nothing, I just feel like every time Dad and Uncle meet, it’s like cockfighting.”

Xi Mo: …

Ye Lingfeng: …

What kind of metaphor was that?

They instantly felt like elementary school kids, fighting meaninglessly.

Commander walked over with a smile, “Alright, you must be tired from the plane journey. Dinner is ready, let’s go eat.”

As he spoke, his gaze occasionally fell on Zhouzhou, and his mind was ticking away with calculations.

Seeing the way the little girl looked at Xi Mo, he couldn’t help but feel pleased. Wasn’t it settled then to bring her over?

With that thought, he subtly signaled to Xi Mo.

Zhao Xinghua also made a gesture to Zhouzhou, mouthing “three hundred thousand.”

Zhouzhou immediately recognized it, her eyes lighting up as she looked in the direction he indicated, instantly getting excited.

She had already heard the sound of three hundred thousand arriving in her account!

And her burning gaze also caught Commander’s attention.

Seeing the way the little girl looked at him, he couldn’t help but touch his own face, feeling somewhat pleased.

Could it be that she liked him too?

If that’s the case, and Xi Mo proves to be inadequate, then he’ll step in!

He’ll lay it all out for this little genius!

The trains of thought of the two men were miles apart, each calculating their own moves.

Only Xi Mo and Ye Lingfeng knew each other’s thoughts, and they both silently agreed not to interfere.

Xi Mo: Reminding wouldn’t do any good anyway.

Ye Lingfeng: Why remind him and delay his daughter’s fortune.

So, neither of them said much, and as a result, both Commander and Zhouzhou were very happy.

“Let’s go and eat,” Xi Mo said, patting Zhouzhou’s head.

“Okay, okay,” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, then turned to look at Ye Lingfeng and called out, “Dad, come on.”

Ye Lingfeng naturally didn’t want to spend much time with Xi Mo, but when his little daughter called him, he had to go.

The two of them were silent on the way, with only Zhouzhou happily looking around and asking questions.

Xi Mo had been here before and was familiar with the place, patiently explaining things to her.

Zhouzhou leaned on his shoulder, listening attentively, her eyes full of reliance and trust in him.

She hadn’t forgotten her jealous old father, occasionally turning her head to smile at him.

The two were getting along quite well.

Knowing Zhouzhou’s appetite, Xi Mo had instructed the kitchen master to prepare extra food and ordered some dishes that the little girl liked.

When Zhouzhou saw them, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow.”

Xi Mo’s eyes softened as he placed her on a chair and brought over a pair of clean chopsticks, also made of gold, with a big the golden ingots motif printed on them. It was obvious they were specially prepared by him.

“Enjoy,” he said.

Zhouzhou couldn’t take her eyes off the golden chopsticks.

Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng sneered.

What’s so special about them? He had even given her a golden chamber pot before! It was much bigger than this.

But at this moment, Zhouzhou was enchanted by the gold, oblivious to her old father’s expression, happily embracing the golden chopsticks. She liked them so much.

Plus, they were her favorite dishes. She immediately dug in, eating ten bowls of rice, until her little belly bulged and she couldn’t eat anymore, reluctantly putting down her chopsticks.

She glanced at Xi Mo sneakily, seeing that he wasn’t looking, she tried to stuff them into her bag.

If the gold wasn’t taken back home, she wouldn’t be Zhouzhou!

But just as she was about to succeed, a large hand suddenly intercepted her wrist…
