"Alright," Qin Ren said, understanding Zhouzhou's concerns. The little cousin wouldn't get hurt; only soone as foolish as Qin Bei would think Zhouzhou's skills had declined. If Qin Dong believed that, he might really end up in the hospital on the first day of the year.
What was more important was that Zhouzhou would likely end up having to compensate for Qin Dong's injury or at the very least bring him so treats to visit him. Spending money on the first day of the New Year would definitely upset the little money-grubber. It was too unlucky.
With this thought, he separated the siblings and changed the subject. "No fighting on the first day of the New Year. Let's go play in the snow instead."
Zhouzhou agreed. After all, what if Qin Dong ended up getting beaten up all year? She didn't want that to be her fault. Her little head shook vigorously as she thought, but she also didn't want to disappoint her older brother. So she said, "Third Brother, I'll beat you up after the New Year. Don't worry!"
"Okay, okay!" Qin Dong nodded, still a bit naive. But then he realized sothing was off. "Wait, why do you get to beat ? Isn't it just practice?"
"It's the sa!" Zhouzhou waved her hand dismissively, as if there was no difference.
He couldn't beat her anyway; now that she had gone through special training, she was much stronger than before. If it was just practice, it would simply be a one-sided beating.
The little girl swayed her head arrogantly, causing Qin Dong's fists to clench in determination.
Zhouzhou had learned from the worst--why did she have to pick up bad habits from Uncle Ye? Look at how infuriating her talk was now!
Ye Lingfeng, leaning against the doorfra, smiled as he watched the children play. Hearing this exchange, he nodded without hesitation. "That's right, my daughter is the strongest."
Exactly! Zhouzhou's little tail seed to waggle up to the sky at his praise.
Now, Qin Dong couldn't help but wish the New Year would hurry up and pass; he wanted to see just what skills Zhouzhou had to be so cocky!
She was certainly capable, but she preferred not to show it easily, as it might send soone to the hospital.
At this mont, Zhouzhou wasn't really interested in fighting him. Simply put, the gap in their abilities was too wide. Luckily, Qin Dong had no idea what she was really thinking; otherwise, he'd be furious.
Qin Ren didn't see a problem with Zhouzhou's confidence--she was strong, after all. The kids played for a while until Zhouzhou kept glancing at the bushes.
Qin Bei, puzzled, asked, "Zhouzhou, what are you looking at?"
Zhouzhou reluctantly withdrew her gaze, shaking her head. "Nothing. I thought there might be so big bad guys to catch, so I could earn so money. But it looks like they're not coming."
She was disappointed; such a cowardly bunch!
With her chubby little hands, she rubbed together, full of anticipation. But looking at the empty bushes, she could only sigh in disappointnt.
"Daddy!" she walked over to Ye Lingfeng, leaning against his leg with a pout.
Ye Lingfeng imdiately understood her thoughts, gently rubbing her head. "Don't worry; you'll definitely get to earn that money."
"Really?!" Zhouzhou's eyes sparkled as she looked up at him, excitent all over her face. "When?!"
She looked like she could rush out to catch the bad guys at any mont, making Ye Lingfeng chuckle lightly, though there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. After all, it was a dangerous world out there, and only Zhouzhou would be excited about seeing them.
Of course, he was anticipating it too. Since they had co for Zhouzhou, it wouldn't be long before they found out about their relationship.
anwhile, on the other side of the ocean, in a house, a muscular man looked at Zhouzhou's photo, raising an eyebrow. "Ye's daughter?" His voice was rough, his expression fierce.
The n around him dared not speak loudly, clearly fearful of him.
"Let's go. I'll et her myself," the man said, putting down the photo, his aura exuding nace.
That very day, a group headed for Hua Country.
Commander quickly noticed this and imdiately called Ye Lingfeng. He didn't joke around but went straight to the point as soon as the call connected. "They're coming for you. Be careful."
Ye Lingfeng wasn't surprised; he had guessed this the mont Zhouzhou had caught those n the previous night. He just hadn't expected them to co so soon.
Originally, he wanted to keep them around until after the sixth day of the New Year, but since they were rushing to their demise, he would gladly help them along.
With a flash of cold light in his eyes, he glanced back at the busy Qin family mbers, saying nothing as they finished their al. After dinner, he looked at Qin Lie.
Although they were competitors vying for favor, they had developed so tacit understanding over ti. With just a glance, Qin Lie understood what he ant and stepped into the study.
Ye Lingfeng took Zhouzhou along with him.
This ti, he needed her help. Those guys were too slippery.
Now that Zhouzhou was in their sights, they had to eliminate any future threats completely.
He didn't hide anything from Zhouzhou, explaining the situation clearly.
After listening, Qin Lie frowned, staring at Ye Lingfeng in disbelief. "You want to take Zhouzhou with you?"
Ye Lingfeng nodded. "With Zhouzhou's little Compass, even if they run away, she can track them down."
This ti, he was determined not to let them escape.
Qin Lie's expression remained serious. "You can go with the things, but Zhouzhou doesn't need to take such risks."
Before Ye Lingfeng could respond, Zhouzhou piped up, "No way! Daddy, I want to go!"
She was looking forward to making money!
"Zhouzhou," Qin Lie's voice deepened, "this is not the ti to think about money."
He rarely used such a tone with Zhouzhou.
Startled, she montarily didn't know how to respond.
Realizing he had scared her, Qin Lie softened his tone a little but still didn't relent. With a sigh, he said, "I'm sorry. Daddy just--"
Before he could finish, Zhouzhou jumped into his arms, rubbing her little head against his chest, and cheerfully said, "It's okay! I understand; Daddy is just worried about ."
With her innocent hug, Qin Lie's heart ward.
In Ye Lingfeng's arms, he felt a void and was a bit annoyed, but he didn't feel jealous at this mont.
It was more about the fear that Zhouzhou would give them both equal attention.
"Daddy," Zhouzhou looked up at Qin Lie, patting her little chest confidently, "Don't worry! I won't get hurt. I'm super strong now. Just ask Sharp Tongue Daddy!"
She looked at Ye Lingfeng with wide eyes.
Qin Lie turned to Ye Lingfeng as well.
Seeing this, Ye Lingfeng felt a bit annoyed at the way she referred to him but still nodded. "That's right. Zhouzhou's current strength is definitely up to the task."
"Except for her short legs; everything else is fine."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's little face instantly fell.
Her fists clenched!
