After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 208 This Appetite Clearly Runs in the Family

When someone knocked on the door, Chen Tuo was just about to cook dumplings. He heard the noise and hurriedly put on his slippers to go and check.

He looked through the peephole but didn't see anyone outside. Did he hear wrong?

Confused, he started to walk back, but as soon as he took a step, he heard the knocking again. However, when he looked, there was still no one in sight.

But one can't be deaf twice, right?

Looking at the empty outside, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Could it be something sinister?

Just as he was thinking that, someone suddenly patted him from behind. He instantly felt his scalp go numb and almost screamed, but when he turned his head and saw who it was, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing, boss?"

Ye Lingfeng looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Why didn't you open the door and just stood there?"

As he spoke, he reached out to open the door, but Chen Tuo quickly grabbed his hand. "Boss, don't open it. Who knows if the person knocking on the door is a human or a ghost? If it's a person, why didn't they ring the doorbell?"

What kind of logic is this?

Ye Lingfeng gave him a disdainful look, too lazy to bother with him, and opened the door. He looked at the little figure outside wearing a frog hat and immediately understood.@@@@

It was indeed her.

Seeing Chen Tuo covering his face, Zhouzhou poked her head out and asked, "Sharp Tongue Uncle, what happened to Stinky Little Brother?"

"He's being silly, just ignore him."

Hearing her voice, Chen Tuo suddenly snapped out of his daze, wiped his face, and finally regained his senses.

No wonder he couldn't see her through the peephole just now. She was too short to reach the doorbell.

But Chen Tuo didn't dare to say that, or else he would end up on the wall again. If he was unlucky, he wouldn't even need to be pulled out; they could just hang him up directly.

"Why did you come, Grandpa Zhouzhou?" he asked with lingering fear.

"Grandma asked you to come over for dinner."

"Huh?" Chen Tuo was puzzled. "Why did she ask us to come for dinner?"

Zhouzhou thought for a moment and said seriously, "Because you guys are pitiful and have no food to eat."

Chen Tuo: "..."

Zhouzhou, acting very familiar, brought them two pairs of slippers and poured them a glass of water.

She looked just like a little host.

After doing all this, she hopped onto the dining table, propped up a chair skillfully, and climbed up. Her bowl was obviously larger than the others, with a cute-version image of her hugging a gold ingot printed on it, making her look even chubbier. It was clearly made specifically for her.

Ye Lingfeng silently watched this scene, observing how at ease Zhouzhou was in this family. It was evident that the Qin family treated her very well.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the Qin family would dote on a little ball like her, especially Qin Lie.

He was a workaholic, indifferent to women, and his temper wasn't good either. He seemed like a lonely person. Ye Lingfeng had even joked with Yaya before, saying that with his cold personality, no one would be willing to marry him in the future.

But unexpectedly, he had skipped the step of marriage and had a little daughter.

Such good fortune.

Thinking about it, he felt a slight unease in his heart, unsure if it was jealousy or something else. He couldn't even figure it out himself.

"Sharp Tongue Uncle, come over quickly!" Zhouzhou urged when she noticed he wasn't moving. She was very hungry.

Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng snapped back to reality. He shook his head, casting aside those random thoughts, and walked to the table, nodding slightly at Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin. "Sorry for the disturbance."

"No need to be polite," Grandma Qin generously waved her hand. "Let's eat without reservations. It's lively with more people, so don't be formal with us."

Beside them, Chen Tuo burst out laughing. If he let Ye Lingfeng eat freely, they probably wouldn't have any food left.

Grandma Qin didn't know what he was laughing at and looked at him in confusion, asking, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Ye Lingfeng shook his head, then glanced at Chen Tuo with a slightly warning gaze. Seeing him restrain his laughter, he averted his eyes. "Don't mind him, he's always like this, occasionally acting crazy."

"I can testify to that!" Zhouzhou raised her chubby hand and said, "Stinky Little Brother is stinky and stupid. He deserves a beating."

As she spoke, she made a funny face at him.

Chen Tuo didn't back down either and made a face back at her, looking extremely childish. Together, the two of them were no more than three years old. No younger.

Grandma Qin wasn't familiar with him, but she couldn't help but laugh at his antics.

"Come on, eat. Eat plenty," she said.

"Okay." Ye Lingfeng didn't bother with formalities and immediately picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

At first, Grandma Qin didn't react much. But when he went to get his eighth serving of rice, she couldn't help but mutter, "If it weren't for An Ya's tragic end, I would suspect that Zhouzhou is the little girl of the Ye family. The two of them have similar appetites."

Just as Ye Lingfeng walked over and heard this, he caught a glimpse of Qin Lie's expression subtly changing, and his eyes narrowed slightly...
