At the study room.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Two n sat facing each other, neither speaking, both suppressing their anger.
Qin Lie leisurely brewed tea, displaying his hospitality by pouring a cup for Ye Lingfeng.
Ye Lingfeng gave him a cold glance. In the end, he compromised and took a sip of tea before directly asking, "Zhouzhou is my daughter, right?"
Although it was a question, his tone was full of certainty, indicating that he had already confird it long ago.
He stared at Qin Lie, not missing any of his subtle expressions. He thought that Qin Lie wouldn't admit it, considering how much he had done just to prevent him from taking Zhouzhou away.
"Yes." Unexpectedly, Qin Lie admitted directly.
Ye Lingfeng's pupils contracted, and after a mont, he chuckled, "CEO Qin is so capable. Are you not afraid that I will take Zhouzhou away, or are you certain that I can't?"
His imposing aura burst forth, pressing fiercely towards Qin Lie.
Qin Lie lifted his fingertip lightly, continued brewing his tea, and effortlessly diffused his pressure.
He calmly said, "For soone whom the Killing God wants to take, how could they possibly not be taken?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng's expression froze, and the expression on his face completely dissipated. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Lie, rubbing the fingertips of his thumb and index finger together. If Chen Tuo were here, he would surely recognize the killing intent in his eyes.
"CEO Qin is well-inford."
Qin Lie slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze sweeping past Ye Lingfeng's fingertips, seemingly indifferent. He spoke in a calm voice, "CEO Ye, are you determined to continue this ga of cat and mouse with ?"
He wasn't an impatient person. On the contrary, after so many years in the business world, he was well-versed in negotiation skills and had plenty of patience. But now he couldn't afford to be patient with Ye Lingfeng's evasiveness. He went straight to the point, "I'm not interested in what you're doing. I only care about one thing.
I asked CEO Ye before if his work would affect his family, and the answer he gave at the ti was that it was precisely because you had no family that you achieved what you have now."
Ye Lingfeng rembered those words, and as he recalled them, he wanted to give himself a big slap in the face.
Why didn't he think of it then? Why did Qin Lie ask that question out of nowhere? It couldn't be that he cared about Ye Changming and the others, right?
He felt a surge of frustration, but he refused to show weakness in front of Qin Lie. "Yes, but if I had known that CEO Qin was referring to Zhouzhou, I would have definitely answered differently. I won't let Zhouzhou encounter any more accidents. I won't let anyone harm her, whether it's through hope or strength, I can do it."
"Are you sure?" Qin Lie wanted this answer, but he had so doubts about Ye Lingfeng's response. "I rember that several of CEO Ye's brothers, including CEO Ye himself, were saved by Zhouzhou."
With his capabilities, was he really able to protect Zhouzhou?
Don't tell Zhouzhou would have to protect them in the end.
What kind of situation was this? Who was whose father, and Zhouzhou was at a disadvantage.
Ye Lingfeng choked, his neck stiff as he said, "That was in the past. From now on, such things will never happen again."
He used to think he had no attachnts and didn't care about his own life, but now that he had Zhouzhou, he would cherish his life more than anything.
He had already missed five years with Zhouzhou, and he would definitely accompany her throughout her future life.
With that in mind, Ye Lingfeng regained his composure, not letting Qin Lie control the situation, and took back the initiative, asking, "So, CEO Qin, when do you plan to return my daughter to ?"
"Return?" Qin Lie looked at him with a smile. "Five years ago, although you were frad, if it weren't for your own improper actions and giving people too much leverage, how could you have been falsely accused? If it weren't for you not protecting them properly, how could An Ya have died, and how could Zhouzhou have been abandoned right after she was born?"
His tone was low, even though he was facing the Killing God, he showed no fear.
At this mont, he was just Zhouzhou's father.
He said, "If it weren't for the Master Abbot happening to co down the mountain, if it weren't for Zhouzhou's good luck, in a few more minutes, Zhouzhou would have been gone."
At that ti, the weather was like this too, with sudden warmth and cold. A newborn child was forcefully thrown into the snow. One can easily imagine the slim chance of survival.
As the words fell, the study fell into silence.
Ye Lingfeng clenched his fists, his breath stagnated, and his eyes filled with guilt.
He knew that it was because he failed to protect them that everything happened later. He had always known.
Looking at him, Qin Lie's tone suddenly changed, "Rember your current feelings, and rember your words. With your life, protect Zhouzhou well. Otherwise, even if you're the Killing God, don't think about getting close to Zhouzhou!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Qin Lie to suddenly make a concession. This was completely unlike his usual style.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll take Zhouzhou away?" He couldn't understand and asked directly.
Qin Lie sipped his tea without changing his expression, "You can take her away as long as Zhouzhou recognizes you."
Hmph, whom do you think you look down upon?
Ye Lingfeng sneered. He was Zhouzhou's biological father. How could Zhouzhou not recognize him?
Joking!
At this mont, in the children's room.
Wen Jing looked at Zhouzhou with a headache, trying to speak well for her boss, "Zhouzhou, having an extra dad would be great. You'll have one more person to protect you, and you'll even get more pocket money. Isn't that good?"
"Humm humm" Yeah, yeah.
Chen Tuo and Zheng Yu couldn't speak and could only nod frantically.
Zhouzhou looked at them strangely, "Stinky Little Brother, Light Bulb Brother, did you make Sister Marvelous angry again?"
As she spoke, she skillfully took out two pills from her bag and handed them to them.
Chen Tuo had already witnessed Zhouzhou's dical skills and didn't hesitate. He imdiately put the pills in his mouth and soon regained his ability to speak. He hurriedly echoed, "That's right, having another dad ans more New Year's money!"
Which kid wouldn't like New Year's money?
However, without expecting it, Zhouzhou guarded her bag, and with a slight movent of her chubby hand, she flicked a pill into his mouth, instantly making him mute again.
The little girl huffed, "I don't want it. With more dads, I'll have to give out more New Year's money. Stinky Little Brother will swindle . You better not speak."
They had thought so much, but they didn't know that in Zhouzhou's eyes, New Year's money was given by children to their elders.
Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Dad could give, but not other people!
Seeing Wen Jing about to say sothing again, Zhouzhou imdiately covered her ears, "No, no, I have one dad, and that's enough."
She couldn't afford another one!
Wen Jing looked at her resistant appearance and didn't know what to say for a while.
Qin Ren walked over, soothingly touched Zhouzhou's head, and looked at the few of them with slightly narrowed eyes.
They wouldn't say such things for no reason. Unless they had truly found Zhouzhou's biological father.
The only one who could make them speak well was...
Just as he was thinking, Ye Lingfeng walked in.
His gaze fell directly on Zhouzhou, and Qin Ren's premonition deepened instantly.
About to speak, Ye Lingfeng raised his hand, and Chen Tuo imdiately pulled them all out without saying a word. In the blink of an eye, there were only Zhouzhou and Ye Lingfeng left in the room.
Seeing this scene, Zhouzhou tilted her head and said, "Huh?" She blinked her eyes and looked at Ye Lingfeng approaching her, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Ye Lingfeng looked at her eyebrows and eyes that resembled An Ya, and his heart pounded again.
He thought she was no longer in this world, but he didn't expect that fate had spared her.
She was his only flesh and blood in this world.
It was the gift that Yaya had left him with her life.
He almost lost her.
Thinking of this, his eyes involuntarily turned slightly red. He slowly approached Zhouzhou, his knees slightly bent, half squatting on the ground, eting her gaze at eye level, his eyes filled with restrained excitent.
He slowly spoke, "Zhouzhou, I am your dad."
