Chapter 426: Chapter 425: The School-Averse Queen: Jiang Liu, If You Bully Me, I’ll Tell Auntie
The legal team from Jun Xinghe’s company would probably be coming over to have him sign the contract.
’Might as well get it all done at once.’
As for choosing a location for the shop,
Jiang Liu didn’t need to worry about that. Since they were partners,
it was best to leave such matters to the professionals at Jun Xinghe’s company.
Jiang Liu didn’t have much experience choosing locations anyway; he might as well leave it all to his business partner.
"Mmm..."
Jun Qingmeng, snuggled in Jiang Liu’s embrace, nodded gently and asked in a low voice, "Are you short on money?"
"If you need money, just tell me. I’ll give it to you."
Jun Qingmeng loved spending money on Jiang Liu. It was one of her special little quirks.
Spending money on herself didn’t make her happy, but she was more than willing to spend it on her husband.
She also had a secret little nest egg that she treasured.
After all, a sophisticated girl like her could never be short on funds.
"You have money?" Jiang Liu asked in surprise, glancing down at her.
"I do! I have two bank cards with over seven million in them. I’ve never touched the money."
Jun Qingmeng said, a little smugly.
This was her secret little stash, after all.
If she hadn’t been worried about Jun Xinghe tracking her down, she would have given it all to Jiang Liu long ago.
Jiang Liu was astonished. He teased, "I didn’t realize you were a secret little heiress."
"Mm-hm. What else? This is all money I saved from working for two years!"
MEOW.
Jiang Liu was speechless.
’As expected of a pampered young lady.’
’A couple of years of her "working" was enough for a corporate drone to live on for two lifetimes.’
"Alright, you can lend me two million for now."
Jiang Liu didn’t refuse.
He had nearly nine million, and he planned to set aside one million for the new shop, the old shop, and living expenses.
That would bring his total to ten million, enough to start the company with his father-in-law.
Opening two shops—if he bought the properties outright—plus renovations, hiring, and all the other miscellaneous costs, on top of injecting working capital into the company...
There were a lot of expenses.
"Okay! I’ll bring you the card tomorrow."
Jun Qingmeng said happily.
She wrapped her arms around Jiang Liu’s waist, draped a leg over his, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Honey, you know all about your wife’s finances now. You have to treat me well, you hear? Don’t you dare be mean to me!"
Jiang Liu chuckled.
"Of course I’ll treat you well. But why are you so insecure? You know all about my finances, and you know where my cards are. Haven’t we been completely open with each other?"
"We’ve been completely open with each other for a long time!"
Jun Qingmeng retorted, a little dissatisfied. "From the day we officially became a couple, I was ready to give you my everything. Don’t you know that?"
"What’s mine is yours. I’ll give you anything you want. Even if you couldn’t make a single cent and just slept at home all day, I would go out and make money to support you and Tongtong."
Jiang Liu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’Why does my wife seem a little mad?’
He suddenly realized that when it came to their relationship, his wife tended to take things very seriously.
’Maybe she’s a perfectionist.’
"Okay, okay, it’s not like that. Come on, how about a kiss?"
"Mm."
They kissed for a full minute.
Jun Qingmeng was the one to pull away, her face flushed. "Okay, I’m not mad anymore."
"Such a good girl."
"Honey?"
"Hm? What is it?"
"I just realized... you’re kinda cute!"
"How am I cute?" Jiang Liu was at a loss for words.
’How could she use that word to describe him?’
Jun Qingmeng caressed his face, smiling sweetly. "I remember when we first got together, you always had such a serious expression and never took the initiative with me. Now, you seem more boyish."
"I don’t want you to always be so mature and composed around me. I want all of you."
Jiang Liu paused, stunned for a moment.
’He didn’t quite understand.’
"Is that right? I never noticed. You chased me so hard, we got together less than two weeks after we met. I didn’t know that much about you back then."
"And now?" Jun Qingmeng asked.
Jiang Liu looked a little sheepish and rubbed his nose. "It’s better. I know a little more."
’I’ve touched what’s to be touched.’
’Seen what’s to be seen.’
’And I get to hold her in my arms every night as we sleep.’
’I’d say that’s eighty percent of the territory conquered.’
Of course, he couldn’t say any of that out loud. He was afraid Jun Qingmeng would pummel him.
Jiang Liu changed the subject. "By the way, the company I’m founding with Uncle Jun will be integrated with the new shop, and I was planning to register a trademark."
"I had an idea. What do you think about adding the word ’Qingliu’ below the main shop sign? In a really small font."
’He wanted to give his wife a little romantic surprise.’
Jun Qingmeng nodded emphatically. "I love it!"
An idea suddenly sparked in her mind.
"Honey, in that case, let’s take tomorrow afternoon off, shall we? Don’t you have to handle the ownership transfer? We can go together."
’The queen of skipping school.’
’The little cutie who hates school.’
’What a heaven-made mother-daughter pair.’
Jiang Liu smiled helplessly. "Alright then. The three of us will go together."
’Kindergarten isn’t that important, anyway.’
Jiang Liu didn’t want to put too much pressure on his daughter. If she wanted to learn, she could learn. If she didn’t, she could play as much as she wanted.
’As long as he could make enough money, it would all be fine.’
’Worst case, he’d just support her for the rest of her life.’
Besides, Jiang Liu felt that bringing Tongtong along for the property transfer would make her feel much more secure.
There was no helping it; the poor kid had had a rough start in life.
"Mhm, mhm! Honey, you’re the best!"
Jun Qingmeng couldn’t suppress the excitement on her face.
"You, a teacher and a mother, are really setting a great example, aren’t you?"
As he spoke, Jiang Liu gave Jun Qingmeng a light, crisp flick on the forehead.
??
Jun Qingmeng clutched her forehead.
"Honey, can you stop flicking my forehead? Isn’t flicking Tongtong enough for you?"
’Warning! Someone is badmouthing the little cutie!’
"Then how about I spank you?"
"No, I’ll spank you!"
"You hit me once, and I’ll hold you down and hit you ten times!" Jiang Liu decided he wouldn’t hold back.
"If you bully me, I’ll tell Aunt Lin."
"Oh?"
Jiang Liu thought about the arm-thick rolling pin and decided to show his mom some respect.
"Hmph, hmph!"
Jun Qingmeng triumphantly clenched her little fists.
’Aunt Lin’s name still works like a charm.’
"Time for bed?" Jiang Liu said.
"Mm, okay."
Jun Qingmeng agreed sweetly and closed her eyes.
They held hands.
After a little while,
She squeezed Jiang Liu’s palm.
"Honey? There’s something I want to discuss with you."
"Go on."
"Umm..." Jun Qingmeng’s voice was sugary sweet. "Honey~ Look, since we’re already taking time off... why don’t we just take the whole day off?"
"That way, we can be with you in the morning and help you work, right?"
The thought of spending the afternoon with her husband made her unsatisfied with the prospect of being apart in the morning.
Tomorrow was Friday.
If they took the whole day off, it would turn into a three-day weekend.
Jiang Liu couldn’t help but laugh. "Nope, don’t even think about it. You’re going to be a good girl and go to class tomorrow morning. If you dare skip, I’ll spank your butt red!"
"Aww, okay then!"
Jun Qingmeng’s spirits fell.
If she had a pair of bunny ears, they would have drooped right then and there.
"Be good and listen. You know Tongtong’s personality, don’t you? If we let her have another three-day weekend, just try getting her to go to school on Monday. I don’t even have to guess; she’ll definitely refuse to get out of bed.
Then we’ll have to spend ages coaxing her. We can’t let her get spoiled with bad habits, understand?"
Jiang Liu said, lecturing gently.
"Mm, I’ll listen to you, honey. I know I was wrong," Jun Qingmeng said, nuzzling her head against him.
