After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1208: Bedtime Story
Upon hearing this, Ancestral Master, while munching on sunflower seeds, glanced at him and casually remarked, "What if Qin Lie bullies you while Zhouzhou's not around?"
"He dares!" Ye Lingfeng's expression immediately turned fierce. "If he dares to bully me, when Zhouzhou comes back, I'll tell her!"
Ancestral Master shook his head. "What if he pricks you with needles, in places that are inconvenient to show to others? Then you won't have any proof, and Zhouzhou will think you're being unreasonable, and might even want to side with Qin Lie."
This kind of thing happens all the time on TV. Zhouzhou clearly has the potential to be an incompetent ruler, and as for being a toxic woman, she's always been one.
With all these ingredients in place, by the time Ye Lingfeng is calling for help, he'll be helpless. He'll probably be laughing now, but let's see if he can still laugh later.
Ye Lingfeng immediately thought of that scenario and his face contorted in anger. Through gritted teeth, he muttered, "Then I'll beat Qin Lie up!"
After all, no one else, except his daughter, had the right to bully him. Especially not Qin Lie. If Qin Lie dares to bully him once, he'll give him ten beatings in return!
Unexpectedly, Ancestral Master clapped his hands, saying, "The progress is exactly the same! Next, you'll fight with Qin Lie, Zhouzhou will just happen to appear, push you away, you two will argue, and Qin Lie won't even have to say a word."

Ye Lingfeng: "..."
Stop talking! He was already furious!
Qin Lie could really do such things! He's been calculating for years, probably ever since he's born!
He clenched his fist and glared at Qin Lie, wishing he could beat him up right now.
In the living room, Qin Lie was talking when suddenly he sneezed. A chill ran down his back.
He instinctively looked up but saw nothing.
"Are you alright?" Commander asked with concern.
Qin Lie shook his head, returning to the conversation. He didn't inquire about the specifics of the mission but asked one thing: "Will Zhouzhou's life be in danger?"
Army Commander thought for a moment before shaking his head. "It shouldn't be. It's in front of many people, and the competition is supposed to stop at a point. If anyone is seriously harmed, it would be unacceptable."
That's reassuring, but there's still a possibility.
Just because it's in front of many people doesn't mean there won't be shady moves. Even in events like the Olympics, people cheat. In the end, they'll just claim it was an accident, right?
He lowered his eyes, deciding not to press the matter further. After all, worrying wouldn't change anything. Zhouzhou was going, no matter what.
Sensing his concern, Army Commander reassured him, "Don't worry. Xi Mo and the others will be there. They'll protect Zhouzhou. And Zhouzhou herself is very capable. If anyone dares to do anything to her, they'd better consider if they have the ability."
That's true.
Qin Lie's furrowed brow relaxed a little. When he heard a sound, he looked up to see Zhouzhou running down the stairs with a backpack.
She ran up to Qin Lie, winked at him, and then glanced upstairs toward Ye Lingfeng's room.
"Dad, don't forget our plan."
Even though she wasn't home, they still had to continue to provoke Sharp Tongue Daddy to wake him up. That was the priority.
Qin Lie nodded and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry."
In fact, what he didn't say was that without her at home, it was his time to shine. He was very good at this.
Sure enough, after sending Zhouzhou off, he sat in his study for a while, typing on his computer. Soon, he went to Ye's bedroom, turned on the TV, and cast something from his device.
Before long, Zhouzhou's soft voice echoed out, "Daddy, I love you the most!"
On the screen, it was a recording from when Zhouzhou was little. The young girl with a lucky charm hairstyle looked up at Qin Lie, her eyes sparkling as she rushed toward him. She didn't even glance at anyone else, as if the world only had the two of them.
There were other recordings of Zhouzhou at different ages, but the one consistent thing was that her words never changed. Her gaze toward Qin Lie was always the same.
The most shocking thing, however, was the final scene—back to when she was little. It was at the police station.
Zhouzhou, a little bald-headed girl, was holding Qin Lie's hand as they skipped into the station. When they came out, her little chubby hand was holding a household registration booklet.
Ye Lingfeng could recognize it immediately. It was the day Zhouzhou was added to Qin Lie's household registry!
After they registered, Ye Lingfeng had seen them.
At that time, he didn't know Zhouzhou was his daughter, but Qin Lie knew. He had known all along.
And he did it on purpose!
"Ahhh—" Ye Lingfeng was instantly furious.
That bastard! He was going to settle this with him!
His toes curled, seemingly gathering power, and his fists tightened little by little.
Qin Lie glanced over, nodded in satisfaction, and pressed the repeat button.
When they had arranged this room, his parents had been sympathetic to Ye Lingfeng's situation, and they insisted everything in the room should be top-notch.
Even the sound system was 3D surround, and Zhouzhou's words about liking his voice were perfectly transmitted into Ye Lingfeng's ears.
No matter how much he didn't want to hear it, he couldn't escape.
Even Ancestral Master, who knew Qin Lie was deliberately trying to provoke Ye Lingfeng, had to admit this tactic was ruthless.
It was brilliant.
It might not work on others, but for Ye Lingfeng, this was a fatal blow.
Especially the ending. Didn't you see how close Ye Lingfeng was to blowing a fuse?
Not only that, Qin Lie sat beside the bed with a chair, talking to him about all the little things about Zhouzhou. He reminisced about when they first met and how good their father-daughter relationship had been.
Ye Lingfeng's body was becoming more active.
Unfortunately, by the time night fell, he still hadn't opened his eyes.
Qin Lie took a sip of water to soothe his dry throat. Fortunately, everything he had just said was recorded.
He pressed the play button, smiling mischievously. "Bedtime story. Good night."
What a bunch of nonsense bedtime stories.
There's no way I'm sleeping!
Ye Lingfeng could only curse in his heart. He wished he could turn into a real ghost and visit Qin Lie in his dreams to beat him up.
This was beyond frustrating!
Zhouzhou kept calling him "Sharp Tongue Daddy," but Qin Lie's mouth was even more infuriating!
