After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 886

Chapter 886: From Now On, Just the Two of Us!
Hearing that voice, Zhouzhou froze, then suddenly looked up to see Ye Lingfeng awake, a mischievous smile on his face as he pinched her chubby little cheek.

“What’s wrong? Worried about me that much? Have you realized I’m actually your favorite dad?”

He teased, the first thing he did upon waking was to vie for her affection against Qin Lie.

Zhouzhou’s lips trembled for a moment, but she couldn’t hold back and threw herself into his arms, shouting, “Dad!”

Her voice was loud enough to wake Chen Tuo and the others, who rushed in without hesitation, exclaiming, “Boss!”

Ye Lingfeng looked at them with a smirk, then feigned annoyance, “What are you all doing here? Don’t interrupt my time with Zhouzhou!”

Since he could joke like that, it seemed he was really fine.

Chen Tuo chuckled, “Just worried about you. I’ll go call the doctor. As long as the doctor checks you out and says you’re okay, I’ll leave immediately, promise not to interrupt you two.”

With that, he hurried out.

Not long after, the doctor arrived, checked him over, nodded, and said, “You’re fine now. Just take it easy for a few more days, and don’t rush into any vigorous activity.”

“Okay.” Ye Lingfeng nodded.

Once the doctor left, his gaze fell back on Zhouzhou. Seeing her arms soaked from crying and her eyes swollen like walnuts, he felt a pang of pity. “Why are you crying so hard?”

His expression was a mix of concern and joy because his little girl was crying for him.

Chen Tuo opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally said, “Boss, don’t be so self-absorbed. Zhouzhou isn’t crying for you; she’s upset about Qin Lie.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng shot him a look.

He squinted, his tone dripping with sarcasm, “What? Did Qin Lie end up in the hospital too?”

“No, not at all,” Chen Tuo shook his head.

Ye Lingfeng snorted.

If Qin Lie hadn’t been hospitalized, how could he make Zhouzhou cry like this?

She was definitely crying for him!

Seeing him like this, Chen Tuo rolled his eyes. He knew Ye Lingfeng was just trying to delude himself.

Ye Lingfeng didn’t care about him, barely lifting his eyelids as he waved him away. “Get lost already.”

Finally awake, he didn’t want to be upset again!

What a good guy, but he just had to run his mouth!

Knowing he wasn’t welcome, Chen Tuo cheerfully left.

As long as the boss was awake, he could rest easy.

Ye Lingfeng looked at Zhouzhou, wiped her face with his thumb, and softened his gaze. “Alright, Dad’s awake now, so stop crying.”

Zhouzhou hesitated, thinking about how she was an honest person and couldn’t lie. She said, “Sharp Tongue Daddy, I really cried because of daddy. I already cried for you, but you didn’t see.”

Ye Lingfeng’s face darkened instantly. He suspected his little girl was doing it on purpose.

Waking up was probably worse than staying unconscious!

What kind of nonsense was this? He lay here in a coma, and instead of crying for him, she cried for Qin Lie, who was perfectly fine!

Was there any justice in this world?

He was filled with grievances and felt wronged.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou hurried to comfort him. “Dad, I really cried for you! Don’t be angry; I cried so hard.”

“If you don’t believe me, I can cry again! I promise this time it’s only for you.”

As she said this, the little chubby girl opened her mouth, ready to cry. Ye Lingfeng quickly covered her mouth, both amused and exasperated. “Alright, I was just joking.”

He pulled her back into his arms. “Now tell me, why were you crying? What happened?”

Mentioning the incident made Zhouzhou’s eyes turn red again as she rubbed her head against his clothes.

Ye Lingfeng rolled his eyes in frustration. However, seeing his little girl cry like this meant something serious had happened, so he had to act like a concerned father.

After calming down, Zhouzhou said, “Dad doesn’t want me anymore.”

“Oh?” Ye Lingfeng’s eyebrows shot up, his tone filled with a hint of excitement.

Had she just become solely his?

This happiness came way too suddenly!

Zhouzhou paused, looking up at him, confused about whether she had misheard.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Lingfeng quickly suppressed his smile, furrowing his brow and pretending to be serious. “Why wouldn’t he want you? You’re so great; how could he bear to let you go?”

“I’m not great.” Zhouzhou lowered her head, hugging him. Her little chubby hand grabbed his shirt, wiping her snot and tears on it, her muffled voice coming out, “I made Dad angry, and I even drugged him to make him faint.”

At this, Ye Lingfeng’s expression brightened even more.

It seemed Zhouzhou was starting to get annoyed with Qin Lie too.

“Why did you drug him?” he asked, eagerly anticipating the gossip.

Zhouzhou recounted the whole story.

As he listened, Ye Lingfeng’s smile gradually faded, his brow furrowing in genuine concern. “You went to get revenge on Garen?”

His tone suddenly turned heavy and serious.

Zhouzhou’s heart raced, and she quickly said, “Dad, I really know I was wrong. Don’t abandon me too! I only have you.”

If he abandoned her again, she would be a child without a father.

Thinking about this, Zhouzhou’s tears fell again.

Ye Lingfeng looked at her, feeling a mix of anger and heartache.

Seeing her so scared, his sympathy finally won out, and he hugged her. “Okay, don’t cry anymore.”

“Did you get hurt?”

“No.” Zhouzhou shook her head.

Ye Lingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn’t hurt, that was good.

Still worried, he continued to ask, “How did you deal with Garen?”

Zhouzhou told him how she had brought Lan Tian into the rainforest and played a game of “Who is the Spy” while using the Invisibility Talisman, causing them to turn on each other.

Ye Lingfeng: “……”

How did his little girl get so clever?

He couldn’t help but applaud.

Well done, she even saved her own bullets.

He had long accepted that Zhouzhou would take on missions, so he was only a little annoyed at first but quickly got over it.

Thinking back on Zhouzhou’s cleverness, he felt proud.

She was brave and cunning–very impressive.

However, he couldn’t praise her now, fearing she would become even bolder in the future, and if something went wrong, they would regret it.

He said, “In the future, don’t go off on your own. Even if you want to go, take Chen Tuo or Skinny Monkey with you.”

Zhouzhou hesitated. “But what if they won’t let me go?”

“They will,” Ye Lingfeng assured confidently. “As long as you insist on going, they’ll definitely accompany you.”

“And even if you don’t go, we’ll still have to go again.”

Their mission wouldn’t end until it was completed.

If they didn’t finish once, they would come back again; it had to be dealt with.

“Not to mention Skinny Monkey and the others; they are your team members, and you’re the leader. Their job is to obey your orders.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou finally relaxed.

Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng held her hand and said, “Zhouzhou, do you know why Qin Lie was angry?”

Zhouzhou’s expression dimmed. “Because he was worried about me.”

She already knew this.

“So,” Ye Lingfeng said, stroking her head, “if you sneak away without saying a word, we’ll just worry more.”

“Next time, you must tell us.”

Zhouzhou nodded, indicating that she understood and promised there wouldn’t be a next time.

Ye Lingfeng looked at her and smiled again. “Well, if he doesn’t want you, then so be it! From now on, just the two of us!”

He was overjoyed–his little girl finally belonged only to him!
