After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 665

Chapter 665: Let’s Go Cause Some Mischief
Finally, Grandma Qin couldn’t bear it any longer. She lifted Zhouzhou and took her away, relieving the little granddaughter from the predicament.

Qin Lie cast a cold glance at Ye Lingfeng, “You’ve only been back for a few days, and you’re determined to make Zhouzhou cry? Are you happy now?”

Ye Lingfeng glanced back and shrugged, “If she cries, it’s me who will comfort her. Don’t worry, I won’t need a single kind word from you.”

Comforting a child requires taking her out to buy some delicious treats and then visiting the amusement park for a stroll, doesn’t it?

Since he caused her tears, he couldn’t trouble others anymore, so he had to take Zhouzhou himself.

He had no ulterior motives; it was just the reasonable consequence of his impudent remarks. Reading his mind, Qin Lie bit his lip inwardly.

How did An Ya ever see anything in him? Most importantly, he was somewhat worried that his chubby little daughter might become like this in the future. Just the thought of it made him uneasy.

Regardless of the future, Zhouzhou remained a soft and adorable little child. Nestled in Grandma Qin’s arms, she softly complained, “Sharp Tongue Daddy is so childish.”

Grandma Qin chuckled and patted her little head, “That’s because he loves you.”

If it wasn’t love, how could he specifically record every casual remark she made? After all, Zhouzhou was known for her cheekiness, and “I love you the most” was always on her lips, a phrase they had grown accustomed to.

Yet, Ye Lingfeng not only recorded it but also played it frequently, probably listening to that short audio clip a hundred times a day until even the seconds-long snippet became familiar to him.

It was somewhat amusing, yet also a bit poignant. He genuinely cared about Zhouzhou.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou pouted, looked up at her, and vigorously nodded her little head, “I know. Sharp Tongue Daddy loves Mommy and me the most, and I love him very much too.” She had only spoken casually earlier, but she still loved him dearly.

Naturally, Grandma Qin understood this. She gently pinched Zhouzhou’s hair, “Would you like to accompany your Sharp Tongue Daddy to bed tonight? He rarely comes back home.”

“Sure, sure!” Zhouzhou nodded eagerly, indicating for Grandma Qin to put her down. Immediately, she dashed downstairs and climbed onto Ye Lingfeng’s legs, her chubby hands cupping his face.

She looked at the bruise under his eyes and urged, “Daddy, let’s go to bed. It’s late. I’ll tell you a bedtime story to help you sleep.”

It was barely eight o’clock, but the little girl always slept early. Ye Lingfeng lifted her and glanced at Qin Lie with a visibly proud look in his eyes. His lips curled, “Goodnight, Mr. Qin. I’m off to listen to bedtime stories.”

Humph, whether he had reason to be proud or not was debatable. Qin Lie calmly set down his cup, nodded slightly, and turned to Zhouzhou with a gentle tone, “How about you tell him a different story tonight? Little Red Riding Hood’s tale gets old after so many retellings.”

Ye Lingfeng: “…”

What was there to boast about? Hearing no response from Zhouzhou, he simply carried her and walked out, his voice trailing behind, “We’ll stick with Little Red Riding Hood. I love hearing it.”

Here he goes again, sounding so jealous. Zhouzhou was almost dripping, smiling at Qin Lie before waving her chubby hand, signaling for Lu Ye and Wolf King to follow.

Off to bed, they went.

Arriving at the Ye family’s next door, Ye Lingfeng put down Zhouzhou, and he and Lu Ye went to take a shower first.

Although the little girl claimed not to mind their smell, he didn’t want to risk it. After quickly showering, Ye Lingfeng emerged to find Zhouzhou lounging on a chair, dangling her chubby feet and occasionally taking sips of water, looking utterly relaxed.

She resembled retired old men in the park.

Ye Lingfeng couldn’t help but chuckle and decided not to disturb her. Leaning against the door, he silently watched the little girl, feeling all the weariness from before dissipating.

Whenever he thought of her during missions, he found renewed strength. No matter how difficult the task, he could endure it.

Sensing his gaze, Zhouzhou looked over, and as soon as she saw him, her eyes lit up. She leaned forward and jumped off the chair, running toward him with open arms, “Daddy!”

Ye Lingfeng bent down to lift his chubby daughter, pinching her chubby cheeks, and couldn’t help but yawn. What he didn’t tell Zhouzhou was that he hadn’t slept for days.

Zhouzhou, however, noticed and felt sorry for him, urging him to lie down while she climbed onto the bed, her chubby paws lightly pressing on his head, “Daddy, let me give you a massage. You should sleep.”

Unexpectedly, her massage was quite good. Ye Lingfeng felt completely relaxed.

However, he couldn’t help feeling a little envious; Zhouzhou must have practiced on Qin Lie at home. Before he could say anything, he fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing him like this, Zhouzhou felt even more sorry for him and continued to massage him. Once he was sound asleep, she quietly slipped out.

Lu Ye was still sitting in the living room downstairs, seemingly awake despite the late hour, with Wolf King dozing by his side. Upon hearing her approach, both turned to look at her.

Zhouzhou hurried over, her chubby hand resting on Lu Ye’s knee as she asked softly, “Brother, can I ask you a question?”

“Sure, go ahead.”

Zhouzhou pondered for a moment and said, “Was this mission very difficult? Why did Daddy take so long to come back, and he looks so tired?”

Lu Ye shook his head, “It wasn’t particularly difficult. Your dad is very capable. He just took on several missions at once, hoping to finish them all and take a long vacation to spend time with you.”

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Zhouzhou’s eyes, deeply moved. Sharp Tongue Daddy really loved her!

“Then why did you come too?” Zhouzhou looked at him curiously.

When they were on the island, the uncles had told her that Lu Ye didn’t like interacting with people.

Lu Ye didn’t speak, just glanced at the little girl, his lips pressed thin, casually saying, “Just passing by.”

Wolf King let out a low growl, exposing his lie.

He missed you.

Zhouzhou’s eyes twinkled as she smiled mischievously, seeing through him. “Brother, did you also want to come and play with me?”

“What’s wrong with admitting it?” Zhouzhou hugged her chubby cheeks, exuding confidence. “I’m so cute. It’s normal that you want to play with me.”

Lu Ye: “…”

Wolf King: “…”

Truly confident Zhouzhou. Nothing has changed.

With a slightly exasperated look in his eyes, Lu Ye couldn’t help but smile at her. Seeing her chubby cheeks, his fingertips subconsciously twitched.

It tickled.

He wanted to pinch them.

Seeing through his thoughts, Zhouzhou grinned, pressing her chubby face into his palm and rolling around, the soft sensation causing Lu Ye’s eyelids to flutter.

Nice to pinch.

Wolf King watched the scene and approached, extending his wolf paw.

Zhouzhou glanced at him and refused. “Uncle Wolf, your claws are too sharp. You might hurt me.”

Hearing this, Wolf King lowered his head and let out a deep sigh.

Oh.

Suddenly, Zhouzhou pounced on him, knocking him to the ground. Then she pressed her chubby face against his belly and rubbed it, saying, “This way it’s fine.”

After a while of playing, Zhouzhou stood up, her face blushing. She looked at them, excitement brewing in her eyes, and whispered, “Brother, Uncle Wolf, let’s go cause some mischief!”
