After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 587

Chapter 587: A Gift for You
It was Xi Mo.

Taking the chopsticks, he spoke, “No rush, these are for you. I’ll wash them first before packing.”

With that said, he stood up and walked to the sink, carefully washing and drying the utensils, leaving no trace of water stains, before placing them into Zhouzhou’s bag.

Zhouzhou happily touched her bag, her eyes narrowing into a smile, but she couldn’t contain her excitement.

She just adored gold.

Even more so, she adored her generous uncle who treated her so well!

Embracing him with a peck on the cheek, Zhouzhou revealed a toothy grin, but before she could say anything, a hand lifted her off the chair.

“Let’s go,” Ye Lingfeng said coolly.

Still not done in front of him, huh?

Innocently blinking, Zhouzhou sighed helplessly, “Oh, here we go again.”

Her dad was so jealous, and he was no better than Jinbao.

Oh well!

Listening to the little girl’s grumbling, Ye Lingfeng’s mouth twitched with a hint of frustration.

It wasn’t easy for him. He had finally managed to spend two months alone with his little daughter, only to have various interruptions constantly divert her attention.

Could you blame him for being jealous?

He didn’t want to, but he couldn’t control it.

Sensing his mood, Zhouzhou immediately wrapped her chubby arms around his neck, kissing his face several times, and earnestly said, “Daddy, I love you the most.”

If Jinbao were here, he would sarcastically call her a “scum girl” again.

But Ye Lingfeng fell for it every time, unable to resist feeling happy when he heard those words. He pinched her chubby cheek and asked, “Really?”

“Yeah! I super love Daddy,” Zhouzhou said loudly. “Daddy is handsome, tall, wealthy, and can eat…”

Listing his virtues while pulling at her chubby hands, Zhouzhou’s praises made Ye Lingfeng feel somewhat elated.

Zhouzhou continued, “Daddy is also very generous. So, Daddy, can I sleep with Uncle tonight? I haven’t seen him in so long.”

Ye Lingfeng instantly regained his composure. He glanced at her and said, “So, all that praise was just for this last request, right?”

“Not really,” Zhouzhou hugged him, her voice milky, melting his heart, “Everything I said earlier is true. Doesn’t Daddy think he’s the best daddy in the world because he’s tall, handsome, wealthy, and kind?”

Ye Lingfeng: “…”

The little troublemaker knew how to set him up.

How could he deny it? If he shook his head, he wouldn’t be her favorite daddy anymore.

But if he nodded, she would go find someone else.

Pinching her fortune pigtails lightly, Ye Lingfeng gritted his teeth, “Fine, you’re so good at tricking Daddy.”

With her lifeline in his grasp, Zhouzhou’s face instantly lit up with a pleasing smile. “Daddy, just one night, okay? After tonight, I won’t bother Uncle anymore. I haven’t seen him in so long.”

Seeing her hopeful eyes, Ye Lingfeng’s heart softened.

He let her go and said, “Go on then.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou’s mouth lifted instantly, and she waved her chubby hand at him, saying as she ran, “See you tomorrow, Daddy. Thank you, Daddy, you’re the best.”

Hmph, who would believe her nonsense.

The little troublemaker was good at coaxing people.

With that in mind, his mouth involuntarily curved upwards.

“Big Uncle!” Zhouzhou rushed to the entrance of the dining room, just as Xi Mo was walking out from inside. She ran over and hugged his leg, her chubby legs hanging on his body like a little pendant.

Seeing her, Xi Mo glanced somewhat surprised in the direction Ye Lingfeng had left, then bent down to pick up the little girl, “Back again? Not full yet?”

“I’m full, I’m full,” Zhouzhou shook her head repeatedly, embracing him happily, “Daddy asked me to come and chat with Big Uncle.”

Did Ye Lingfeng send her?

Xi Mo didn’t believe it at all.

Most likely, the little girl came on her own.

She said so probably to ease the tension between them.

Reading her thoughts clearly, Xi Mo didn’t expose her. He skipped the topic and continued, “Let’s go, Uncle will accompany you tonight.”

“Okay!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously.

Remembering his lack of reaction earlier, her small face couldn’t help but furrow in worry.

It seemed like the relationship between Uncle and Daddy was really bad. When would they become good friends?

It was really worrying for a child.

She wore her thoughts on her face, and Xi Mo couldn’t help but smile, pinching her chubby cheek, “Don’t worry too much, I’m just not familiar with your dad. We’re not enemies.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou fell silent. Her eagerness to meddle in their relationship diminished greatly.

She murmured softly, “But daddy wasn’t responsible for mommy’s death, it was the bad guys.”

“Yeah, I know.” Taking a deep breath, Xi Mo smiled somewhat reluctantly, “Give Uncle some time, okay?”

Seeing the genuine smile on his face, Zhouzhou felt a sourness in her heart. Her chubby hand couldn’t help but press against his mouth, suppressing that curve.

“If Uncle doesn’t want to smile, then he won’t.”

She hugged his neck, murmuring, “Sorry, Uncle, I won’t force you and Daddy to make up again. As long as you two are healthy and happy, it’s enough.”

The little girl’s words were full of concern and guilt.

This time, Xi Mo’s smile came from the heart.

“Okay,” he replied warmly.

This little episode soon passed, and Zhouzhou changed the subject, “Uncle, let’s go to where you live. I brought you a gift.”

With that, the little girl covered her small bag mysteriously.

Seeing this, Xi Mo nodded and, amidst the envy of his teammates, straightened his back and carried the little girl back.

This island was only their competition venue, and the conditions weren’t great. The tents were newly set up.

Luckily, with Xi Mo’s current status, he had his own tent.

He swiftly set up the marching bed and, fearing it might be too hard for the little girl, added an extra layer of mattress on top.

Zhouzhou sat with her chubby legs crossed on the bed, pulling him to sit beside her. Then, she carefully took out the statue of Ancestral Master.

She said, “Ancestral Master, I’m here with my Uncle. Can I give him the gift now?”

Immediately, a golden light entered Xi Mo’s body.

The light was not large but extremely dazzling, with a warm glow that wasn’t intimidating.

Xi Mo sat steadily, making no effort to avoid it, allowing the golden light to enter his body obediently.

In an instant, he felt a warmth spreading through his body, and the hidden injuries on his body began to improve.

This, this was…
