After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 531 Zhouzhou's Grand Ambition

As the words fell, two cold gazes mixed with countless metaphorical daggers flew towards him.

Huo Ji'an was immediately startled, shrinking his neck and not daring to say another word.

The Ancestral Master looked at him as if he were a fool; speaking like this in front of both fathers, this child was truly lacking in sense.

Huo Ji'an pouted aggrievedly. Why were they so fierce? He had almost died just now; what was wrong with wanting a hug?

Seeing him, Zhouzhou remembered as well. Her dangling short legs quickly kicked, signaling Ye Lingfeng to put her down.

Ye Lingfeng clicked his tongue in displeasure, cast another glance at Huo Ji'an, and reluctantly set Zhouzhou on the ground.

Zhouzhou immediately ran to him, tugging at him and inspecting him carefully. "Little Skinny Pole, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Huo Ji'an, who had been on the verge of tears just moments ago, now grinned foolishly, patting his chest with pride.

"Chubby Girl, they wanted to catch you, but they mistook me for you. I didn't give you away, though. How's that for loyalty?"@@@@

"Great!" Zhouzhou nodded emphatically, giving him a thumbs-up, then puzzled, she asked, "How did they mistake you for me?"

They didn't look alike at all, not to mention the obvious difference in gender. How could they make such a mistake?

Hearing this, Huo Ji'an's face stiffened. Remembering Jiao Yong's words, his face darkened, and he pressed his lips together, refusing to speak.

He couldn't possibly tell Chubby Girl that they thought he was a fool, could he? Humph, who was the fool?

They were the fools! His cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish, looking thoroughly displeased.

Ye Lingfeng walked over and patted Zhouzhou's hair. "Let's go; we shouldn't stay here any longer."

"Okay." Zhouzhou nodded, holding his hand, then turned to Qin Lie, reaching out her chubby hand. Qin Lie said nothing, striding over to take her hand.

Huo Ji'an glanced at them, then looked down at his own hand. He wanted to be held too. Before he could speak, Ye Lingfeng grabbed his hand, "Let's go."

Forget about dreaming of holding his daughter.

Ye Lingfeng couldn't help but imagine his daughter at six feet two inches tall, and he shuddered, quickly patting Zhouzhou's head, afraid she might suddenly sprout up.

Looking at his plump daughter, he was at a loss for words. After a moment, he found his voice and coughed lightly, "Zhouzhou, girls don't need to be that tall."

"Why?" Zhouzhou tilted her head, displeased, "Dad, do you look down on me?"

How could he not trust her? The little girl, brimming with competitive spirit, declared, "I will definitely grow taller than Dad in the future."

Then she added, "Taller than both of you combined."

Ye Lingfeng: "..."

Qin Lie: "..."

There was no need for that. Ye Lingfeng wiped his face, unwilling to continue the conversation, fearing she might grow into a towering tree.

Anyway, she couldn't grow that tall, so no need to worry. With that thought, he sighed in relief and quickly changed the subject, "How's school? Have you graduated from kindergarten?"

Zhouzhou shook her head, "Not yet. Summer vacation starts next week. Dad, will you come to pick me up? Grandma said we should take pictures to commemorate."

Although usually only the kids from top classes of the kindergarten could participate in the graduation ceremony, the principal allowed them to join because they skipped grades.

Zhouzhou, who had never participated in a graduation ceremony, was very excited. She hoped both dads could be there.

See his daughter looking at him expectantly, Ye Lingfeng couldn't refuse, so he patted her head and nodded, "Alright."

Zhouzhou's face lit up with joy, and she threw herself into his arms. Qin Lie watched them, saying nothing, given their long separation.

Huo Ji'an glanced at Zhouzhou and then quickly ate his food. If Chubby Girl ate so much and still didn't grow taller, wouldn't he remain short forever? No, absolutely not!

Driven by a sense of crisis, Huo Ji'an proudly ate... half a bowl more. After dinner, the two children couldn't stay awake any longer.

After a night of excitement, Zhouzhou's eyes could barely stay open. Ye Lingfeng carried her back to the room, watching her sleep peacefully, and finally felt at ease.

Remembering Qin Lie's words, his face darkened again. Some people indeed needed to be dealt with.
