Chapter 439: Chapter 338: Tongtong Wants to Drink, Too

"Ahem, you’re too kind."

"You’re too kind as well!"

"Haha, you’re too kind."

The two men didn’t let go of their handshake.

They were smiling at each other like old friends who had been through life and death together.

Jiang Dahai’s palms were sweating, and Jun Xinghe’s temples were equally beaded with sweat.

Jun Xinghe: ’It’s over, it’s over, what am I even saying?! What should I say next? Will my in-laws think I’m an idiot?’

Jiang Dahai: ’Big shots really are different. Just a few simple words, and I’m already struggling to keep up. How embarrassing! Is he about to lose his temper? I’m done for!’

Jiang Tongtong covered her mouth, trying to hide a giggle.

’Her grandpas are so funny when they talk!’

Several dark lines appeared on Jun Qingmeng’s forehead.

She didn’t think Jiang Dahai had done anything wrong; she just felt her own father was being utterly embarrassing!

’What is he even saying?’

Jiang Liu couldn’t help but laugh inwardly. He said, "Dad, Uncle Jun, if you two keep holding hands like that, the food is going to get cold."

"You two should hurry and sit down. We can talk while we eat."

"Alright. Mr. Jun, please have a seat!"

"Mr. Jiang, you have a seat!"

The two men let go, sat down on their stools with their backs ramrod straight, placed their hands on their laps, and smiled.

They looked like two well-behaved little children being punished by a teacher.

Jiang Liu went to the door and brought in three boxes of nuts.

"Wow! It’s nuts!"

Jiang Tongtong’s eyes lit up. She hugged a box and wouldn’t let go. "Daddy, I’ll get it, let me!"

"Here you go."

"Huh? I can’t lift it."

Everyone was amused by the little treasure that was Tongtong, and the awkward atmosphere eased.

Jun Xinghe found an opportunity to speak. "Tongtong, Grandpa bought these nuts especially for you from abroad. Do you like them?"

"I love them!! Thank you, Grandpa!!" Jiang Tongtong shouted in her high, childish voice.

Jun Qingmeng poured six glasses of water and called Tongtong over.

Tongtong nodded emphatically.

She carried the water over. "Grandpa Jun, have some water~ Grandpa, Grandma, have some water~ Daddy, have some water~ These two are for me and Mommy!"

"Okay!"

"What an obedient little girl!"

"Tongtong is getting more and more beautiful. You have to be your daddy’s little sweetheart,"

Jun Xinghe said with a smile.

"I know~ Grandpa Jun!" Jiang Tongtong’s little face flushed slightly, a bit embarrassed.

’I’m going to be Daddy’s favorite little sweetheart.’

The two fathers chuckled, no longer so nervous.

Jun Xinghe asked, "Mr. Jiang, Ms. Lin, are you two aware that my daughter and Xiao Jiang have gotten their marriage certificate?"

"Yes, we know."

Jun Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

’That makes things easier.’

’I have to marry my daughter off quickly, before they change their minds!’

’That’s right, once she’s married off, there are no returns!’

Jun Xinghe chose his words carefully before speaking. "You see, since the children have already registered their marriage, shouldn’t we discuss the wedding?"

"Yes, I also think we should discuss this matter first," Jiang Dahai quickly interjected.

’He was afraid their only topic of conversation would slip away.’

Jiang Liu and Jun Qingmeng exchanged a look, and Jun Qingmeng shyly looked away.

At that moment, she didn’t look like a female CEO at all, but rather a timid little girl, waiting expectantly.

Jun Xinghe racked his brain, trying his best to organize his thoughts:

"It’s like this, Mr. Jiang. As you know, I’m a businessman, and I tend to believe in things like feng shui. How about I pick an auspicious date for the wedding?"

’In reality, he was a materialist.’

’He only brought up feng shui to seize the initiative and get his daughter’s wedding settled quickly. That way, he could happily become a father-in-law, right?’

Jiang Dahai nodded in agreement. "That’s a good idea. When children get married, we elders have to consider things carefully for them. We should try our best to pick a good date. We’ll have to trouble you with that, Mr. Jun."

"No trouble at all!"

Jun Xinghe let out another breath. "It just so happens that I know some professional friends in this field. I can ask them to help pick an auspicious date for the kids."

"Yes, yes, yes, that would be great!"

Jiang Dahai nodded quickly. "Mr. Jun, if you have any thoughts, please feel free to bring them up. If you have any conditions... you can mention those as well."

’Conditions?’ Jun Xinghe glanced at his daughter’s blissful expression, feeling a bit strange.

"I don’t have any conditions. Do you have any, Mr. Jiang?"

"None!" Jiang Dahai shook his head. "I’m very pleased with this girl, Qingmeng. I have high hopes for these two kids."

"I see. That’s great then."

The two men continued their awkward conversation.

Jiang Liu said, "You two should exchange WeChat contacts. That way, you can discuss anything privately."

"Right, right. Mr. Jiang, let me scan your code."

The two added each other on WeChat.

Jiang Tongtong swallowed, her stomach rumbling.

"Daddy..." she whispered, tugging on Jiang Liu’s sleeve.

Jiang Liu got the hint and urged them, "Let’s eat, Uncle Jun, Dad. Hurry up and eat. If you two keep talking, the food will really get cold!"

Only then did Jun Xinghe remember the dozen or so delicious dishes in front of him.

His mouth immediately began to water.

"Let’s eat, let’s eat! I won’t stand on ceremony then."

"Haha, everyone dig in, don’t be polite."

The six of them began to eat.

Jun Xinghe took several large bites of the dry-fried green beans.

’Crispy, tender, fragrant, and spicy.’

He was inwardly amazed by Jiang Liu’s cooking skills.

He never expected his son-in-law had this kind of skill up his sleeve.

"I brought some red wine. Shall we have a couple of glasses?"

"Red wine? I rarely drink it. This must be expensive, right? I probably can’t tell the good from the bad. It would be a bit of a waste." As Jiang Dahai spoke, he secretly swallowed, his heart tempted.

"Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing valuable. Just drink it casually, treat it like any old wine!"

"Alright."

As he spoke, Jun Xinghe casually opened the cork with a corkscrew.

A sweet and spicy aroma wafted from the mouth of the bottle.

He poured two glasses.

Looking up, he asked Jiang Liu, "Xiao Jiang, would you like some?"

"I’ll pass. I have to drive later."

Jun Xinghe turned his gaze to Lin Qiu, who quickly shook her head.

She never drank.

Jun Xinghe hesitated for a moment, then asked Jun Qingmeng, "What about you? Want some?"

"No!"

Jun Qingmeng huffily turned her head to the side, looking as if she didn’t know him.

At the side, Tongtong raised her little hand. "Grandpa Jun, Tongtong wants to drink!"

’Hehe, it’s red wine!’

’Tongtong’s never had it before. Hmm, is it sweet? It must be delicious, right?’

The moment the words left her mouth,

Jiang Liu had already flicked her on the forehead. "Drink what? Kids aren’t allowed to drink alcohol!"

???

"Wuwu, then Tongtong won’t drink." Jiang Tongtong held her head, looking like a poor little thing.

’Daddy won’t let me drink. This poor little thing can’t do anything about it.’

Everyone laughed.

’This child is too cute.’

Jiang Liu shook his head and chuckled. "Eat some more food, Tongtong. Here, have some green beans."

"Okay!"

Jiang Tongtong obediently ate the vegetables.

Jiang Liu took a cup, poured a tiny bit of red wine into it, and said, "Here, have a taste. Just a little sip!"

"Thank you, Daddy!!"

Jiang Tongtong quickly hugged the cup and took a sip.

’It was sweet and sour, just a little bitter.’

"It’s good! Daddy, you’re the best! Tongtong loves you so much!"

’The poor little thing is especially easy to please.’

’A single word or a bite of food is all it takes to make her obedient.’

’So, Daddy, please spoil this poor little thing more often, okay?’

What followed was the CLINK CLANK of chopsticks and the increasingly loud voices of Jun Xinghe and Jiang Dahai.

The two of them drank Romanée-Conti while eating food with a world-class taste.
