After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Uncle with a Sharp Tongue
Upon hearing those words, Qin Lie’s expression turned cold. He turned his head to look, and Zhouzhou followed his gaze.

In front of them stood a tall man, handsome in appearance and tall in stature. He had a somewhat wicked aura about him, and his fingertips were hooked around a small wooden barrel. His beautiful peach blossom eyes gleamed with mischief.

He called her a little food barrel!

Zhouzhou wrinkled her nose unhappily and gave him a glare before turning her head and looking at Qin Lie with a pleading expression. “Dad, he insulted me!”

“Mm, I heard it,” Qin Lie reassured her, patting her head. “Don’t mind him. It’s a blessing to have a good appetite. Zhouzhou, you can eat well, and you’re strong too. It’s not in vain.”

Exactly, exactly!

Zhouzhou nodded repeatedly, then turned back and made a face at Ye Lingfeng, as if to say that she had someone backing her up and wasn’t afraid of him. She proudly hugged Qin Lie’s neck, wiggling her chubby legs, and her invisible tail behind her wagged along.

Dad is the best. Dad would never despise her.

After comforting the little girl, Qin Lie turned his head to look at Ye Lingfeng, his gaze turning cold. He spoke in a calm voice, “When did you get out?”

Ye Lingfeng lazily yawned, looking carefree. “A few days ago.”

He didn’t seem to mind his time spent in prison, and his gaze fell on Zhouzhou. “Your daughter is doing well. She’s chubby, just like a little piglet.”

Zhouzhou turned her head immediately, her round eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at him. How could this uncle have such a sharp tongue?

How did he grow up without getting beaten up?

Qin Lie’s gaze also turned cold. “If you have nothing to say, then shut your mouth. No one treats you as a mute.”

After speaking, he warned him with a glance and finished serving the food before carrying Zhouzhou away, ignoring him.

Zhouzhou propped up her small chubby face, her little brows tightly furrowed, and she pouted as she asked Qin Lie, “Dad, am I really fat?”

“No,” Qin Lie looked at her double chin, gently pinching her chubby arm and shaking his head. “Just right.”

Children should be a little chubby to be cute.

Zhouzhou instantly became happy, nodding vigorously. “Grandma said I’m not fat too!”

Qin Lie nodded, pushing the bowl closer to her. “Go ahead and eat.”

“Mm!” Zhouzhou happily took the chopsticks and didn’t rush to eat. Instead, she first divided a pile of food for him. “Dad, eat!”

Qin Lie looked at the cakes and pastries in front of him with a puzzled expression. How did she determine that he liked sweets?

Zhouzhou eagerly looked at him, urging, “Dad, eat!”

Dad liked to eat sweets, right? He must like sweet things!

Seeing that she wanted to give him more, and that all she had in front of her were overly sweet things that could make one’s teeth ache, Qin Lie’s eyelids twitched. He quickly said, “I’ll just have one bite.”

As he spoke, he took a bite of the cake in front of him. The overly sweet taste melted in his mouth, making him want to frown.

But Zhouzhou asked him, “Dad, is it delicious?”

She had a hopeful expression on her face.

Qin Lie could only force a slight smile, reluctantly nodding and saying, “Yes.”

She knew it!

Zhouzhou happily divided another piece of cake for him. “Then Dad should eat more!”

Looking at the pile of sweets in front of him, and then at Zhouzhou’s expectant gaze, Qin Lie took a deep breath. For the first time, he felt that the care from his little daughter was somewhat too heavy.

He slightly lowered his head. “Let’s eat our meal quickly.”

He couldn’t handle eating sweets.

It was too much for him to bear.

Zhouzhou had no idea what her dad had gone through, but seeing him eating “happily,” she began to eat contentedly as well.

This scene fell into the eyes of Ye Lingfeng, who was not far away, and he couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. After all, he used to be their neighbor, so he knew very well that Qin Lie didn’t like sweets, or rather, he detested them. But he didn’t expect him to actually eat what the little girl handed him.

It was clear that the father and daughter had an excellent relationship.

Seeing him staring in one direction all the time, Chen Tuo curiously looked over and let out a surprised sound. “Wow, this little girl can eat!”

Zhouzhou held a bronze bowl that was bigger than her face, almost burying her face in it. Her chubby cheeks were bulging, and it didn’t take long for her to finish a bowl of fried rice.

But it didn’t end there. She held the bronze bowl and hopped off the chair to get more rice. The little girl was still shorter than the dining table, and she couldn’t reach it even on tiptoes. No one expected her to have such a big appetite.

Qin Lie went over and picked her up, helping her scoop another full bowl and taking her back to continue eating.

Seeing her eating style, Chen Tuo also felt hungry. He took another bite of his rice and exclaimed, “Boss, this little girl can eat just as much as you.”

Hearing that, Ye Lingfeng also looked at Zhouzhou curiously, wondering how much she could eat.

Chen Tuo also wanted to know. Following Zhouzhou’s lead, he ate more than usual, as if watching a mukbang. He ended up eating an extra bowl of rice and was already full, but the little girl added another bowl, so she ate a total of four bowls, no, four bronze bowls, which were much bigger than regular bowls.

But it didn’t end there. She even ate all the dessert on the table.

“Wow, this girl is like a bottomless pit. She can eat so much!” Chen Tuo couldn’t help but exclaim.

Ye Lingfeng didn’t say a word, his gaze drifted away. If his child were still alive, they would have been this age by now.

Thinking of this, his heart ached, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. He asked in a cold voice, “Has anyone from the Ye family come?”

Talking about business, Chen Tuo’s expression also became serious. “Yeah, Ye Lingran came alone. This damn bastard is good at hiding. Finally, he showed up. Boss, should we cripple one of his arms or one of his legs?”

As he spoke, he grew somewhat excited.

Anyone who dares to bully his boss should be prepared to die, Ye family included!

Ye Lingfeng glanced at him and said, “We’re in Jing City now. Let’s keep a low profile.”

After speaking, a bloodthirsty and cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was no warmth in his eyes. “Let’s cripple all three of his legs.”

Ye Lingran dared to have thoughts about Yaya, so let’s start with him.

The Ye family’s past accounts would be settled one by one!

Thinking about this, he looked at Zhouzhou’s direction and then turned around and left.

Almost in the instant he turned his head, Qin Lie looked over.

Staring at his figure, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

He had changed a lot.

Noticing his gaze, Zhouzhou curiously asked, “Dad, what are you looking at?”

As she spoke, she also looked in the same direction and saw Ye Lingfeng avoiding the crowd and leaving. She took a bite of the cake, her mouth covered in cream, and puffed her cheeks, saying, “That Sharp Tongue Uncle has a lot of bloodthirst on him.”

But it was strange, although his hands were stained with blood and carried a sense of bloodthirst, he also emitted a lot of virtue. It was somewhat similar to Second Elder Uncle, but he had much more virtue than Second Elder Uncle.

Upon hearing her words, Qin Lie’s eyes flashed with deep thought. After a moment, he turned his head and looked at Zhouzhou, calmly picking up the cake in front of him and feeding it to her.

Zhouzhou was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn’t notice. She gulped it down in one bite. After a while, she suddenly realized that his plate was already empty, and her eyes widened. “Oops, I ate all of Dad’s cake. Dad, let me bring you some more.”

As she was about to jump off the chair, Qin Lie grabbed her and lifted her up. His movements were so fast that even Zhouzhou didn’t notice when he stood up.

“No need.” Qin Lie wiped her mouth and carried her away from the dining area. “I’m not hungry today.”

He had almost finished all the sweets he would eat in his entire life.

Next time, he would make sure to inform the hotel not to serve desserts.

Thinking about it, he looked at the little girl in his arms who seemed unsatisfied. Well, her portion alone was enough.

“Not hungry?” Zhouzhou tilted her head and looked at him, puzzled and worried. “Dad, are you not feeling well?”

“No.”

Then why didn’t he want to eat?

Zhouzhou couldn’t figure it out. Just as she was about to speak, she caught sight of a dark figure in the distance.

Zhouzhou’s ears twitched, and her heart skipped a beat. She turned her head to look, and suddenly exclaimed, “The Sharp Tongue Uncle?”
