Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Are You Two at Odds?
...Jun Qingmeng shook her head, looking wronged. "I don’t know. He’s very busy, and I’ve never asked."
Jiang Liu looked troubled.
"Ahem." Jiang Dahai spoke like an experienced veteran. "Son, why don’t you just stick to the old rules? Buy some cigarettes, some liquor, and some nutritional supplements. Keep it conventional. How about that?"
Jiang Liu had no objections and nodded.
"That works. I’ll figure out what to buy, then."
"Okay. If there’s nothing else, we’re going out for a walk. You two should hurry home and have some fun."
The two elders stood up.
"Auntie, Uncle, I’ll see you out."
The ever-so-dutiful Jun Qingmeng saw the two elders to the door.
She walked back and threw herself directly into the arms of Jiang Liu, who had been watching the scene unfold with amusement.
"Jiang Liu, I really, really like you! I want to be with you forever and never be apart!"
Just now, as Jun Qingmeng watched her boyfriend discuss what first-meeting gift to prepare for her dad, she could barely contain the love swelling in her heart.
She had wanted to sneak a kiss, but with the elders present, she was too shy.
"Then we won’t ever be apart."
Jiang Liu smiled and patted her on the back.
"Mhm!"
Jun Qingmeng nodded emphatically. Lying sweetly in his arms, she looked up at Jiang Liu and, when he wasn’t looking, quickly stood on her tiptoes and gave him a peck.
Her cool lips pressed against his cheek. Jiang Liu touched his face.
’Feels pretty nice!’
Jiang Tongtong waddled over, clutching her stuffed belly.
"Daddy, if you and Mommy are never going to be apart, what about your little sweetheart at home?"
"The three of us will never be apart."
"Hehe, a kiss for you! Quick!"
Tongtong puckered her little lips and held out her arms.
Jiang Liu sighed helplessly, picked up his daughter, and accepted his kiss reward.
"MWAH! MWAH! Sweet, right?"
’Could I possibly say no?’
Jiang Liu smiled and nodded. "Yes, my daughter’s kisses are the sweetest!"
"Aren’t you going to kiss me back?"
Tongtong pointed to her tender, delicate cheek, her eyes full of anticipation.
She loved her daddy’s kisses!
Sometimes she even dreamed about her daddy kissing her.
’So embarrassing!’
’This is a secret only Tongtong can know!’
Jiang Liu kissed his daughter, and Jun Qingmeng leaned in, presenting her own beautiful cheek.
"Boyfriend, what about me?"
"You get some too..."
Jiang Liu quickly planted two more kisses on his girlfriend.
"Daddy, you kissed Mommy twice! I want another one!"
"Your girlfriend wants another one too!"
???
???
Jiang Liu gave each of them a flick on the forehead. "Happy now?"
"Let’s go. Turn off what needs to be turned off, and let’s go home and sleep."
The big and little beauties who had just been "beaten" exchanged a look and giggled.
They were happy even after getting flicked on the forehead by Jiang Liu.
He switched off the unnecessary circuit breakers and checked the water and gas lines.
Tongtong checked everything very carefully.
’This is our shop! I have to protect it!’
Outside, the sky was dotted with stars, and a passenger plane with flashing lights glided overhead.
The sky had cleared.
After several days of rain, the dark blue sky was crystal clear.
At this moment, the number of people strolling along Yangzhai Street at night had increased again.
Customers who frequented Jiang Liu’s stall were also out and about.
Aunt Wu greeted them with a cheerful smile, "Little Boss Jiang, heading home with your family? Get to bed early when you get back, don’t stay up too late."
"These are strawberries my relatives grew. Take them home and eat them."
"Heading home, Brother Jiang? You worked hard today. Us customers can’t live without you! Take this back and eat it. They’re freshly picked rock sugar grapes—thin-skinned and sweet. Don’t be polite, just take them!"
"Oh, Boss Jiang, heading home? I have some persimmons left over from my stall today. They’re ripened, so you can eat them as soon as you get home. Don’t be polite with this old man. You’re the darling of Yangzhai Street! Everyone spoils you willingly." ...
The trio ended up with a pile of fruit by the time they walked down the street.
Jiang Liu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’Why is it always like this?’ He couldn’t even refuse.
His mom had already brought a pile today and left it in the shop’s refrigerator.
Jun Qingmeng giggled, her voice full of adoration. "Boyfriend, I’m discovering you’re really charming."
"Actually, they do this because they all like you. You could give them a few more perks. You should give a little something back to the people who give you things."
"Okay, don’t worry. I’ve remembered everyone who’s given me something. When they come to our shop next time, I’ll give them a surprise."
"Mhm!"
Jun Qingmeng watched Jiang Liu with a smile, her heart overflowing with love.
She loved it when Jiang Liu said "our."
It made her feel like she was already Jiang Liu’s wife.
Once they were in the car, Tongtong’s mouth started watering again at the sight of the strawberries.
She quickly called out, "Daddy, Daddy?"
"What is it?"
"When we get home tonight, can we eat strawberries in bed? The strawberries are so cute, I really want to eat them."
"Alright. I’ll wash them when we get home, and we can eat them together."
"Yay!"
Tongtong wished she could jump into Jiang Liu’s arms and give her daddy a kiss.
’Mmm.’
’No, I can’t. Daddy’s driving.’
Less than eight minutes later, Jiang Liu drove back to their residential complex.
Hu Yongfa had already sent him a WeChat message half an hour ago, telling him where he had parked the truck.
Jiang Liu told Jun Qingmeng to wait in the car.
He went over to take a look. The refrigerated truck was all white and was a small, light-duty model.
Jiang Liu casually grabbed the key that had been left on the tire and stuffed it in his pocket.
Later tonight, he just needed to come back with the [Bun-Making Tools].
He exchanged a few more messages with Hu Yongfa on WeChat.
They would set out at three in the morning tomorrow.
The estimated arrival time in Kun City’s Ba District was 6:30 AM.
Kun City had six districts. Ba District, located in the northwest, was very prosperous and also the closest to South City.
At the same time, Ba District was the most populous district.
Countless vendors gathered there, and there was great profit to be made.
The three of them took the elevator up.
Jun Qingmeng headed home, carrying the Di San Xian, buns, and rice soup.
The moment the door closed,
Pig Guo, who had heard them arrive, stopped her livestream and ran out of the bedroom.
"Aiya! My dear President Jun, you’re finally back! Quick, quick, quick! What did you bring today? Are there buns?"
"Holy shit! There really are buns! And Di San Xian rice soup! Awesome!"
"You have no idea how hard my days are. I’m literally surviving on the food you bring back at night!"
Guo Jia chattered on endlessly with excitement, but her hands didn’t slow down for a second. She quickly tore open the packaging, picked up a shrimp bun, and stuffed it into her mouth.
She bit through the soft yet chewy bun skin, and the tender shrimp filling burst with savory, delicious juices!
"Ooooh! This is amazing! So damn good! Jiang Liu is the best!"
Jun Qingmeng: ???
’That... sounds a little off,’
but her innocent little mind couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it.
"President Jun, are you coming back after you leave tonight?" Having wolfed down six buns, Guo Jia’s stomach was no longer empty, and she started fishing for gossip.
"Nope. I’m sleeping with Jiang Liu."
"Oho! Tsk tsk, getting more and more casual, aren’t we? I never thought the great President Jun would have such a shameless day."
Jun Qingmeng said, displeased, "Are you going to eat or not? If not, I’ll feed it to the stray dogs downstairs."
"I’ll eat! I’ll eat! I’m a stray dog! WOOF WOOF!"
’In the face of Jiang Liu’s food, what’s dignity? Besides, a wise woman doesn’t fight a losing battle!’ Guo Jia silently consoled herself.
Seeing Jun Qingmeng come out wearing a nightgown with a rabbit pattern,
Guo Jia asked while eating a piece of potato:
"Mengmeng, when are you two planning to get married? If you buy a house, you have to tell me in advance. I’ve got to follow you guys."
Jun Qingmeng’s mood immediately soured.
"We’ll see."
"Huh!? Are you two fighting?"
