After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 735

Chapter 735: Qin Zhouzhou Pulls Up the Weeping Willow
Without hesitation, Zhouzhou quickly wiped her tears and ran towards Ye Lingfeng, opening her arms to hug his legs.

Startled, Ye Lingfeng quickly stepped back to avoid her. It was the first time Chen Tuo and the others had seen him look so flustered.

It was quite amusing.

The others stifled their laughter, but Ye Lingfeng couldn’t hold back his smile. He grimaced and looked at his chubby little daughter with a hint of helplessness.

Zhouzhou, noticing his reaction, looked aggrieved, “Daddy, do you think I can’t lift you?”

“No,” Ye Lingfeng shook his head seriously.

It was precisely because he knew she could lift him that he was trying to avoid it! What a joke; if she managed to lift him, he’d be the subject of ridicule. And it wasn’t just about others; even those present would laugh at him.

Seeing the smirks on their faces, Ye Lingfeng gritted his teeth.

But he didn’t have time to dwell on them now; his main concern was his little girl. Fearing she might try to lift him anyway, Ye Lingfeng quickly changed the subject, “Zhouzhou, what game are you playing?”

At the mention of this, Zhouzhou’s face fell again, and she started to whimper, “I made a bet with Third Brother. I said if I skip breakfast, I’d definitely lose weight. Third Brother said I wouldn’t lose weight and might even gain some. The loser would give the winner one hundred yuan, and as you can see…”

She didn’t need to elaborate; the scene they walked in on told the story.

Thinking about Zhouzhou’s sudden stop before she could lift him, Ye Lingfeng felt a tinge of displeasure. “So, is that one hundred yuan more important than me?”

It was obvious she was eager to win the money, and her hopes had been dashed.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked nervously, wringing her little hands, and gave him a sheepish smile, trying to act innocent.

She fluttered her eyes and said innocently, “Daddy, how could it be? You said I was too fat to be lifted, so I wanted to see if I’d lost weight.”

Having already lost a hundred yuan, Zhouzhou didn’t want to lose her daddy as well.

With her short legs, she quickly embraced his legs and said, “Let me hug Daddy!”

Before Ye Lingfeng could react, she tightened her grip and effortlessly lifted him.

Despite being much shorter than him, Zhouzhou’s strength allowed her to lift him straight up.

The scene resembled the legendary act of Lu Zhishen pulling up a willow tree.

“Ha ha ha ha!” Chen Tuo couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Wan Leng and Lu Ye, known for their stoic expressions, also cracked a smile.

Even Wolf King grinned like a Samoyed.

The Qin family tried to suppress their laughter.

Ye Lingfeng’s face turned dark. His once-glorious reputation was now tarnished by his little girl!

“Zhouzhou, put me down,” he gritted his teeth.

Zhouzhou, thinking he was still upset, hugged him tighter. “No, Daddy, I’m holding you. Don’t worry, I’m not tired.”

He was tired!

With the laughter echoing around him, Ye Lingfeng, despite his thick skin, struggled to hold his composure.

He raised a hand to cover his face, feeling utterly embarrassed.

He sternly said, “Zhouzhou, let go. I don’t want my injury to split open.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou instantly stopped moving and looked at him anxiously.

Qin Lie walked over and asked, “Where are you injured?”

From Ye Lingfeng’s demeanor, it didn’t seem like a serious injury, but he had a habit of downplaying things and neglecting his health.

Zhouzhou quickly asked, “Yes, Daddy, where are you hurt?”

“Shoulder,” Ye Lingfeng replied, knowing they wouldn’t be at ease until they saw it.

Since he had already treated it, it didn’t matter much.

Qin Xu pondered for a moment and probably guessed the nature of his injury. He said, “Go upstairs to rest. Let Zhouzhou check it out for you.”

Showing the wound in front of them was inappropriate. They were too perceptive and hard to fool.

It wasn’t about intentionally hiding Ye Lingfeng’s identity but protecting it due to its sensitivity.

He knew what Ye Lingfeng was thinking, and Ye Lingfeng nodded, carrying Zhouzhou upstairs.

Zhouzhou felt regretful about having gained weight. If she had been a bit thinner, it would have been easier for her dad to lift her.

She squeezed the fat on her body in frustration, unable to understand why she gained weight despite skipping meals.

Seeing her thoughts, Qin Lie patted her head, saying, “It’s okay, you haven’t really gained weight. Weight fluctuates throughout the day. You’re lightest in the morning and heaviest at night.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes widened in surprise.

Heavier at night? That meant she couldn’t let Daddy lift her in the evening either?

Her emotions were always on her face.

Ye Lingfeng, holding her with one hand, lightly jostled her, “Don’t worry, I can lift you easily.”

Zhouzhou thought for a moment, tilted her head, and said, “Daddy, actually, I can lift you easily too. How about I lift you from now on?”

Ye Lingfeng’s face darkened immediately.

He clenched his teeth, forcing a smile, and said, “Zhouzhou, let’s not talk about that. We can still be father and daughter.”

She could tell he was indeed angry!

She should have lifted him as soon as she walked in!

But she was too short now. Once she grows to meters high, she’d hold him like a princess!

Before she could say more, Qin Lie covered her mouth, whispering, “He’s injured.”

Say less to avoid making him more upset.

Zhouzhou blinked in confusion. She knew that.

She was just trying to comfort Daddy.

Unfortunately, her good intentions were not well-accepted.

With no other choice, Ye Lingfeng had to lie weakly on the bed, trying to divert Zhouzhou’s attention.

“It hurts so much,” he moaned.

Immediately, Zhouzhou stopped mentioning carrying him.

She rushed to the bedside, sat cross-legged, and asked urgently, “Daddy, where exactly are you hurt?”

Ye Lingfeng pointed to his shoulder.

Zhouzhou quickly pulled up his shirt, and upon seeing the wound, her eyes turned red.

She knew Daddy’s injury was serious.

Unable to hold back, Zhouzhou cried out, “Wah!”

Hearing the commotion, Chen Tuo and the others came in.

Seeing Zhouzhou’s distress, Chen Tuo comforted her, “It’s okay, Zhouzhou. Once the boss dies, you’ll be rich. His money will be yours, and you’ll become a little wealthy lady. How exciting is that?”
