After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 876

Chapter 876: Countdown to Beaten Up
However, Zhouzhou spent an entire day at school, with Qin Lie never leaving her side. Even when she went to the bathroom, he waited outside the door, insisting that if she took too long, he would go in to look for her. A few minutes was all it took; even if she ran the moment she entered, she wouldn’t get far before her dad caught her. That would only confirm his suspicions, and he would definitely believe her even less.

By the end of the day, Zhouzhou found no opportunity to slip away. Feeling a bit discouraged, she pouted, hugging her chubby cheeks. The next time they met, she would tell Zhao Xinghua to recruit her dad into the Fourth Bureau! With his investigative skills, he would be an excellent asset!

Qin Lie, on the other hand, had no interest in investigation; he simply knew Zhouzhou too well.

After school, he led Zhouzhou back to the hospital. She rushed to Ye Lingfeng’s bedside and complained, “Dad followed me to school all day today.” She continued, “Sharp Tongue Daddy, when are you going to wake up? You can come to school with me, and Grandma will definitely be very happy to see you!”

“I can even make you a backpack just like mine! Let’s have matching outfits!”

Hearing this, Chen Tuo and the others glanced at Qin Lie, then at Zhouzhou’s cute treasure backpack, imagining the scene and couldn’t help but chuckle. The thought of the three of them holding hands, all wearing matching backpacks to elementary school was simply too funny.

Chen Tuo suddenly ran toward the door, and before it was even closed, his laughter echoed in the room. The others in the room couldn’t help but laugh along.

Only Qin Lie remained unfazed, sitting down in a chair and looking at Zhouzhou, saying blandly, “Even if you launch a public opinion attack, it won’t work.”

After all, he had been in the business world for so many years; if he fell apart from a few laughs, he would have been finished long ago. Zhouzhou’s tricks were nowhere near enough to faze him.

Zhouzhou paused, tilting her head at him with a look of innocence, “What public opinion attack? Dad, I’m craving chicken. Can you buy me some?”

Qin Lie nodded, and before Zhouzhou could breathe a sigh of relief, he took out his phone and opened the delivery app, “Do you want rooster or hen? Fried or stewed?”

Zhouzhou: “…”

Dad was too difficult to deal with!

Sometimes, having someone who understood you too well could be a disadvantage!

Zhouzhou huffed and said, “I want them all!”

Qin Lie nodded slightly without saying much and proceeded to order everything available. Various cooking methods, various flavors. After all, she ate a lot, and there was no need to worry about waste.

This made Zhouzhou seem a bit unreasonable. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she scratched her head and then sat beside Ye Lingfeng’s bed, resting her chubby face against his palm and calling out, “Daddy.”

Unfortunately, Ye Lingfeng still showed no signs of waking up. Zhouzhou quietly stayed by his side, and soon, she couldn’t help but doze off.

The little girl looked quite pitiful. Chen Tuo sighed softly and approached, ready to carry Zhouzhou to the bed next to Ye Lingfeng.

Just as he picked her up, Zhouzhou woke up, rubbed her eyes, and, still half-asleep, anxiously said, “Dad.”

“Boss is still here,” Chen Tuo quickly reassured her. Seeing her distressed, he added, “How about you sleep with Boss?”

Only then did Zhouzhou finally settle down, obediently nodding her little head.

Once Chen Tuo placed her on the bed, she carefully avoided Ye Lingfeng’s injuries, hugging his arm and gently nuzzling against him, looking completely dependent.

This scene made the big men’s eyes turn slightly misty. They were all hoping for their boss to wake up soon. How could he leave when his little girl was this adorable?

Zhouzhou, inhaling Ye Lingfeng’s familiar scent, felt reassured and soon fell asleep again.

When she next woke up, it was because the aroma of chicken filled the air. Before her eyes even opened, her nose twitched and found the chicken’s location.

Seeing her like a little puppy, Qin Lie couldn’t help but chuckle, “Want to come eat?”

“Yes.” Zhouzhou nodded, jumped off the bed, but before rushing over, she tucked Ye Lingfeng’s blanket in.

Though she had asked for a variety of dishes, most of what Qin Lie ordered was relatively light, as fried chicken wasn’t great for children. She still wanted to grow taller.

Zhouzhou wasn’t picky; she loved all flavors, hugging her bowl and devouring her food.

After eating, Qin Lie took her out for a stroll to help her digest. Then they returned to the ward, where Zhouzhou lay on the bed next to Ye Lingfeng.

Peeking over at him, she asked, “Daddy, where am I sleeping?”

There was only one extra bed here.

Qin Lie replied, “You sleep with me.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes sparkled as she solemnly declared, “Dad, I’m chubby; I might squish you.”

Qin Lie replied blandly, “It’s okay; I’m thin.”

With that, he stared at her calmly, his gaze seemingly able to see through all her little thoughts.

Zhouzhou: “…”

Alright then.

The little chubby girl grinned and leaped into his embrace, “Then I’ll sleep with Daddy.”

As she nestled against him, her little chubby hand clutched his shirt, looking extraordinarily obedient.

Qin Lie undid her hair, which was frizzing up everywhere. After a while of smoothing it down, he simply gave up and turned off the light while holding the little chubby girl.

“Zhouzhou, are you mad at me?” he asked quietly.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou felt a pang in her heart, and she nuzzled against him, shaking her head vigorously.

“I know, Daddy is doing this for me, Daddy loves me the most.”

But this time, she was bound to make her dad sad.

Qin Lie didn’t see her expression; he kissed the top of her head and said, “Sleep now, Ye Lingfeng will wake up soon.”

“Mm!” Zhouzhou didn’t quite believe that.

But she still needed to take revenge.

That night, as the night deepened, listening to Qin Lie’s steady breathing, Zhouzhou suddenly pressed her hand quickly against his sleeping spot.

Qin Lie furrowed his brows, his eyelids twitching as he was about to wake up when Zhouzhou swiftly stuffed a drug into his mouth.

This was given to her by Li Yuan when she left.

Even she had succumbed to its effects and fainted back then, let alone Qin Lie, who hadn’t received any professional training.

In the business world, he was a king, but on the battlefield, he was still lacking.

With one pill, Qin Lie completely passed out.

Zhouzhou glanced at him with guilt, hugging his head and nuzzling it, whispering, “I’m sorry, Daddy.”

After that, she quietly got off the bed, took out paper and pen from her bag, wrote a few words, and placed them by Qin Lie’s pillow.

Then she ran to Ye Lingfeng’s bedside and grabbed his hand.

Looking at his pale face, her eyes gradually filled with determination.

She would definitely not let her dad suffer in vain.

Outside, Chen Tuo and the others were still on guard. Zhouzhou slipped out through the window; despite being chubby, she was quite agile and quickly landed on the ground, leaving quietly in a specific direction.

At that moment, in another hospital room, Lan Tian had just finished taking out his dad’s IV drip needle and was about to sleep when his ears suddenly perked up.

His eyes darkened as he listened to the noises outside. He abruptly flung open the door, and before he could see who had arrived, he kicked out with his foot.

A little chubby hand firmly grabbed his leg, “Brother, it’s me!”
