After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 595

Chapter 595: Not a Burden, but an Armor
Observing him in this manner, Zhao Xinghua felt even more proud. He looked at Ye Lingfeng and Zhouzhou without hesitation, praising them generously, “Well done, well done. You performed excellently this time.”

Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, “Of course.”

Zhouzhou shook her head and, like a little teacher, corrected, “Daddy, remember to be modest.”

With that, she immediately made a small arc with her chubby little hand and said, “Uncle Zhao, we’re only a little bit talented, you know.”

Although she said so, both her and her father’s tails were almost wagging up to the sky. The father and daughter shared the same trait.

Zhao Xinghua chuckled speechlessly, while the commander’s eyes turned even redder. How come such a talented and adorable little girl wasn’t his?

He looked at Xi Mo, bringing up the old topic again, “When are you going to have children?” He couldn’t wait to have a little Xi Mo, preferably identical to Zhouzhou!

Xi Mo remained silent on this topic, nodding respectfully and saying, “Commander, let’s proceed with the post-match analysis.” With that, he led the way with his team.

Ye Lingfeng followed with a stern expression. They should focus on the analysis instead of indulging his daughter!

Zhouzhou, swinging her little legs, asked in a soft voice, “Uncle, is it okay that me join the meeting?”

Whenever Uncle Zhao and the others had meetings, they often didn’t let her join.

Xi Mo nodded, saying seriously, “The meeting might take a while, so I’ve decided to grab a meal first. What do you think of this idea?”

“I think it’s great!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up instantly, her voice crisp, and her little tummy rumbled in agreement.

Xi Mo smirked and quickened her pace. Zhouzhou happily wrapped her arms around his neck and waved to Ye Lingfeng, “Daddy, come on, Uncle is taking us to eat.”

Did they really need him to lead? Ye Lingfeng snorted lightly but still followed towards the direction of the restaurant.

After the meal, they all walked together into a meeting room.

Xi Mo’s mention of the post-match analysis was not just for show; they indeed needed to conduct one. Not only them, but Ye Lingfeng’s team also had to participate.

Commander gathered them together and played the entire match video, pausing occasionally to point out the strengths and weaknesses of various individuals.

Zhouzhou sat between Xi Mo and Ye Lingfeng, taking a bite of fruit to her left and a sip of milk to her right.

Her chubby little hand rested on the armrest as she leaned back in her chair, swinging her legs leisurely, resembling a little queen.

To those unaware, it seemed like she was playing rather than attending a meeting!

The commander glanced at them and couldn’t help but avert his gaze with disdain. Could these two be a bit more serious and focus on the meeting?

Look at how chubby the little girl had become, and they were still indulging her!

Seemingly understanding his thoughts, Zhouzhou patted her little tummy and shook her head, declining Xi Mo’s offer to feed her. “Uncle, Daddy, let’s focus on the meeting.”

“Exactly,” Zhao Xinghua chimed in, giving them a stern look. “You are more immature than Zhouzhou.”

In reality, the two of them could easily spot the mistakes made by their teammates and had already planned how to train them in the future.

While it seemed like they weren’t paying attention, most of their focus was on the task at hand.

The commander and Zhao Xinghua understood this about them but still felt the need to maintain some formality.

It was a bit too casual.

Ye Lingfeng and Xi Mo didn’t say much at that moment, instead, they stared at each other’s hands for a while, neither willing to let go first.

Just as the two of them were at a stalemate, Zhouzhou took the strawberries and milk bottle, saying, “I’ll do it myself.”

Only then did the two relent.

At this point, they began analyzing the last few minutes of the video.

The commander frowned slightly when he saw Ye Lingfeng using himself as bait, reminding him, “You shouldn’t be too conspicuous. Being reckless might lead to trouble one day. What if something happens to you? What will happen to the little girl?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou turned her little head nervously and grabbed Ye Lingfeng’s hand tightly.

Ye Lingfeng looked at her and nodded slightly. “I know.” He wouldn’t let himself get into trouble. Everything he did was planned, but it still carried risks.

To comfort her, he squeezed her chubby little hand and took a deep breath.

Seeing his reaction, the commander didn’t say anything further and adjourned the meeting after concluding the analysis.

Zhouzhou reached out to Ye Lingfeng, wanting a hug. Ye Lingfeng thought she was just being lazy and didn’t want to walk, so he picked her up without much thought.

But then, Zhouzhou whispered in his ear, “Daddy, am I a burden to you?”

Ye Lingfeng was surprised. “Why would you ask that?”

Zhouzhou swung her little legs and looked somewhat gloomy. She nuzzled into his neck and said, “With me around, you have to consider me in everything you do. You can’t just focus on yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng chuckled softly. Zhouzhou looked at him blankly, not understanding what was amusing him.

Ye Lingfeng playfully pinched her chubby cheeks. “You’re my daughter, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

After some thought, he figured Commander’s words had scared her. Ye Lingfeng explained, “Actually, today I spotted Xi Mo’s position, but since he didn’t show himself, I had to lure him out. It seemed dangerous, but I had it all planned out. You’re not my weakness; you’re my armor. I wouldn’t let anything happen to myself, even if it’s just a drill.”

Ye Lingfeng laughed heartily. “Besides, did you notice today that I’m actually more capable than your uncle? How could he possibly harm me?”

With that, he lifted his chin proudly.

Upon hearing his words, Zhouzhou’s spirits finally lifted, and she nestled into his embrace. “Daddy, I love you the most. Please take care of yourself.”

Besides this, she also wanted to earn more merits for him. Even if he encountered any danger, these merits could save him.

With this in mind, Zhouzhou became even more motivated.

However, Ye Lingfeng suddenly said, “I recorded what you just said.”

“Huh?” Zhouzhou looked up in confusion, only to see Ye Lingfeng leisurely taking out his phone and playing back the recording.

The phrase “Daddy, I love you the most” was clearly audible.

Zhouzhou was completely stunned.

Was Daddy always prepared for this?

She had guessed correctly, after all. Even though he could predict where Xi Mo’s gun would be aimed, he couldn’t predict when Zhouzhou would say such things.

He leisurely opened the chat with Qin Lie and glanced at his chubby daughter. “Do you think your wild dad will be jealous when he hears this?”

Zhouzhou: “…”
