Chapter 405 Turning My Daughter Against Me, Is That What You Do While I'm Gone?
Upon hearing these words, Luo Jin's face darkened instantly. Others also struggled to contain their laughter.
Who didn't know that Luo Jin's dislike for Ye Lingfeng stemmed from being perennially second-best, always overshadowed by him?
Originally, he had thought to use Zhouzhou as leverage against him. Little did he know, the young girl was as formidable as her father.
Now, he couldn't even hold onto his position as the second-in-command. Truly, he had brought this upon himself.
Luo Jin's ears, keen as they were, caught the laughter. His handsome face tensed, and he didn't respond. Instead, his gaze remained fixed on Ye Lingfeng.
Seeing this, Zhouzhou blinked in confusion, then disregarded it, smiling happily as she looked inward. She was even more delighted now. My dad is truly quick-witted!
Others watched with excitement. Indeed, Ye Lingfeng was deserving of his reputation. These challenges were a piece of cake for him.
In less than half an hour, the sound of Ye Lingfeng's success echoed. His score skyrocketed once again, firmly securing the top spot, leaving others in the dust.
"It's your turn," Ye Lingfeng approached, calm and composed, carrying his little daughter. He glanced at Luo Jin before him.
Luo Jin said nothing, advancing to tackle the challenges. His pace wasn't slow, but compared to Ye Lingfeng, he was lacking.
Ah, I thought he'd be as skilled as my dad.
Disappointed, Zhouzhou withdrew her gaze, happily clinging to Ye Lingfeng's neck. "Daddy, you're amazing!"
Observing her admiring eyes, Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow, feeling pleased inwardly.
Having Zhouzhou here was beneficial; at least here, he could showcase his abilities without her constantly thinking about Qin Lie, her other father.
He hadn't thought much about it before, but seeing his daughter's happiness warmed his heart.
Despite this, he remained composed externally, patting her head gently. "We still have a long way to go."@@@@
Zhouzhou's eyes shone even brighter at his words.
Wow, my Sharp Tongue Daddy is not only skilled but humble too!
Chen Tuo suppressed his laughter, not wanting to expose Ye Lingfeng. In reality, being praised by Zhouzhou had lifted his spirits.
As Ye Lingfeng woke up, everyone relaxed, gathering around to chat. Even Luo Jin, who was still inside tackling the challenges, paid little attention.
It took Luo Jin nearly forty minutes to clear the obstacles. Although he succeeded, his speed paled in comparison to Ye Lingfeng's.
That ten-minute difference was insurmountable; even with all his effort, he couldn't catch up.
He wasn't oblivious to Zhao Xinghua's intentions.
Caught out, Zhao Xinghua wasn't embarrassed. "I didn't invite you; I'm talking to Zhouzhou."
He softened his tone as he addressed the little girl. "Zhouzhou, would you like to have dinner with Uncle? You can tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have the chef prepare it for you."
Zhouzhou peeked out from Ye Lingfeng's arms, blinking innocently. "Uncle, I'm not picky."
Zhao Xinghua: "..."
Both father and daughter were quite a handful!
Ye Lingfeng chuckled softly, patting Zhouzhou's head approvingly. "Very good. Remember, stay away from him; he's a bad old man."
Zhouzhou nodded solemnly. "Got it!"
"Good girl."
Without further ado, Ye Lingfeng carried Zhouzhou away, giving no face to Zhao Xinghua.
Gritting his teeth, Zhao Xinghua cursed silently at the brat, then hurried to catch up. As long as this promising seedling stayed, he didn't mind losing face!
Thinking this, he waved at Qi Hua, signaling him to join them. After all, it was Qi Hua who had brought Ye Lingfeng here in the first place. Perhaps he could be useful with Zhouzhou as well.
Recognizing his intent, Qi Hua scratched his head awkwardly. He didn't have the heart to tell him that he had already tried before.
But seeing Zhouzhou's performance, he was also intrigued. Having Zhouzhou with them would undoubtedly be a great advantage. They needed to give it another try.
Exchanging a knowing glance, they ignored Ye Lingfeng's cold gaze and followed along.
After a while, Ye Lingfeng stopped paying them any attention, focusing entirely on Zhouzhou. He frowned as he touched her arm. "Does it hurt?"
Zhouzhou shook her head. "Not at all, Daddy. I have medicine; it'll be better by tomorrow."
As she spoke, she pulled out a small bottle from her bag and applied the ointment on her arm. Her chubby little fingers moved skillfully, indicating she had been injured many times before.
Excitedly, Zhouzhou continued, "Daddy, I think my martial arts have improved. Can we spar later?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng fell silent, feeling a headache coming on. Why did his adorable daughter have to enjoy fighting?
Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Xinghua's eyes lit up at her words. He leaned in eagerly. "Zhouzhou, I know a place where you can spar. Would you like to go?"
At this, Ye Lingfeng's gaze turned sharp, dangerously narrowing his eyes as he tapped impatiently on the table. His voice low, he said, "Do you really think I'm dead?"
