Chapter 109: Jun Qingmeng Gets Angry, Shopping for Tongtong

Before long, the three of them were full.

Tongtong leaned back in her chair, patting her little tummy with a blissful expression.

"This is so yummy! And Tongtong has a daddy!"

"Jiang Liu, can we go for a drive? There’s a nice breeze tonight."

Jun Qingmeng looked expectantly into Jiang Liu’s eyes.

She was already able to go home with Jiang Liu, so she made a small request.

Tongtong sat up straight, her little eyes twinkling with a clever light. "Yeah, yeah! Can we, Daddy?"

Jiang Liu smiled and nodded. "No problem. I bought the car but have barely driven it. Let’s go for a spin. I hear it’s lively over at Wanda. How about we go buy a balloon?"

"Yay, yay! Woo-hoo!"

Tongtong jumped up and down happily.

She loved the balloons her dad bought; she could play with them for a very long time.

Over the next hour, Jiang Liu took the two of them—one big, one small—to Wanda, a kilometer east of Xinxiang City.

After buying a balloon, the three of them walked into a phone store, with Tongtong holding the balloon and Jun Qingmeng holding Tongtong.

Jiang Liu had been wanting to buy a tablet for Tongtong to draw on for a while.

"Hello, I’d like to buy a tablet for my daughter to draw on. I want a good one. Do you have any recommendations?"

Jiang Liu wasn’t worried about sales tactics. After all, the prices for tablets and phones were transparent these days, and brick-and-mortar stores were more afraid of dissatisfied customers coming back to cause a scene.

The salesperson was a round-faced girl of average looks.

She looked at the three of them with an envious expression.

"If it’s for drawing, I recommend the 64GB Apple 2020 model for your daughter. It’s 2,498 yuan, and the stylus is 130 yuan."

Jiang Liu thought the price was fine and didn’t haggle. No need for discounts when buying something for his daughter. "Okay, I’ll take it. Wrap it up for me. Oh, and put on a screen protector and a case, too."

He was just about to pay.

But Jun Qingmeng, who was already prepared, paid for it instead.

Jiang Liu shot her a helpless glare.

The salesperson looked at the two of them and said with envy:

"Your family is such a perfect match. You all look so happy. Your wife must really love you, right?"

The corner of Jiang Liu’s eye twitched, but he didn’t explain.

That little clever clogs Tongtong came to the rescue again. "That’s right! Mommy loves Daddy, and Daddy loves Mommy, and they even bought a balloon for Tongtong."

"This little girl is so cute."

The salesperson was practically dying of envy. ’She was already twenty-eight and no boyfriend had ever taken a fancy to her. When would she ever be as happy and complete as this family!’

After leaving the store, Jiang Liu transferred 3,000 yuan to Jun Qingmeng on his phone via WeChat.

"What are you doing? The tablet was my gift to Tongtong."

Jun Qingmeng sent the money right back.

"Just take it. This isn’t some cheap, couple-of-yuan thing. As a girl, you have more expenses."

Jiang Liu insisted and sent the money again.

Jun Qingmeng accepted it with a huff, turning her face away from Jiang Liu.

Tongtong sighed.

’It’s so exhausting trying to get Dad to fall in love.’

’He’s so dense.’

’Can’t he see how Teacher Qingmeng feels?’

Tongtong patted Jun Qingmeng’s hand and said with a sigh, "Teacher Qingmeng, don’t mind him. My kid is just like that. There’s nothing to be done about him. Let’s discuss our strategy more later."

Jun Qingmeng covered her mouth and let out a crisp, giggling laugh.

’It was a pleasant sound.’

"Is your bottom itching for a spanking?"

At an electric car parking spot by the roadside.

Jiang Liu put on a stern face and looked at Tongtong.

"Here, Teacher Qingmeng, hold her for me."

Tongtong’s face fell in terror.

"No, you can’t, Teacher Qingmeng! Please, hold Tongtong tight!"

Jun Qingmeng protected her little partner-in-crime’s bottom.

"Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah, you can’t get Tongtong, hehe."

The next moment, Tongtong, who had just been gloating, was now begging with a pitiful look on her little face.

"Daddy, I was wrong! Stop flicking me, WAHHH! Poor Tongtong! I’ll never do it again, WAHHH!"

The two of them were amused and started laughing.

A passing couple watched the three of them with longing.

’Not only is that guy handsome, but he also married a gorgeous wife. And the most infuriating part is, they even have such an adorable little monster!’

’Damn him!!’

Jiang Liu got in the car, opening the window to let in the evening breeze.

Curious, Tongtong stuck her little hand out the window.

Jun Qingmeng spotted it immediately and quickly pulled her back.

"Tongtong! You can’t stick your hand out the window, you hear?"

"Huh?" Tongtong blinked her innocent eyes.

Jiang Liu jumped in fright.

He hurriedly closed the window.

’I really am careless. I almost got my daughter hurt.’

After that little incident, the car was parked on the side of a wide, open road.

The three of them sat in the car, enjoying the view with the air conditioning on.

"Daddy?"

"What is it?"

Resting her chin in her hands, Tongtong smiled at Jiang Liu, her long eyelashes fluttering. "I like you so much, and I like Teacher Qingmeng, too. Can we always be together, just like today?"

"Gah, this chubby face is killing me!"

Jiang Liu turned and pinched her cheek. "Of course Daddy is willing to always be by your side and watch over you. But when Tongtong grows up, you’ll definitely have to leave Daddy."

"Why? Tongtong won’t leave! I want to stay by Daddy’s side forever and ever, to wash your feet and bring you water to drink..."

Tongtong was very serious.

Jiang Liu smiled and shook his head.

’Daughters grow up, after all.’

"Doesn’t Daddy believe me?"

"Jingjing and Keke said they want to find lots of boyfriends to play with when they grow up, but Tongtong doesn’t want that at all. Tongtong just wants to be with Daddy. Having Daddy is enough."

Tongtong clambered onto Jiang Liu’s lap and hugged his neck tightly.

She rubbed her little ear against Jiang Liu.

"If Tongtong wants to stay by your side forever, would you agree, Daddy?"

Jiang Liu said with a gratified heart, "I will! You can stay for as long as you want. When Daddy gets old, it’ll be your turn to steam buns for me."

"Yay! Mwah! I love you, Daddy."

"Tongtong will definitely steam the biggest buns so Daddy can eat until he’s super full!"

The corners of Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched.

Tongtong saw the lonely-looking Jun Qingmeng to the side and asked again, "Daddy, can we bring Teacher Qingmeng along and the three of us live together?"

"We’ll see."

Jiang Liu sighed.

He looked at the stream in the ditch below, feeling a bit melancholy.

’Jun Qingmeng is very beautiful, and he felt a flicker of attraction, but getting together just because of a momentary impulse... would not only be irresponsible to both their families, but even more so, it would be irresponsible to Jun Qingmeng.’

’And him?’

’His life was a mess, his fate a mess.’

’Maybe it was just getting back on track, but he didn’t want to make any more waves.’

’This is good enough.’

’He and Jun Qingmeng might not be a good match.’

Jiang Tongtong lowered her head sadly.

’She really hoped her daddy could be with Teacher Qingmeng.’

’Then they could give her a little brother or sister.’

’That way, she could keep staying with her daddy, and let those brothers and sisters go off and get married.’

Jun Qingmeng muttered under her breath from the side, "Fine, don’t accept it. I’ll just pester you every day. I’ll live where you live, I’ll go where you go, and I’ll confess my feelings to you every day until you’re sick of me!"

After saying her piece, she even gave a cute little huff and turned her head away.

Tongtong’s eyes lit up. "That’s a great idea!"

"When the time comes, Tongtong will secretly open the door for you, so Teacher Qingmeng can sneak into Daddy’s bed!"

Jun Qingmeng’s cheeks flushed red.

Jiang Liu said irritably, "You’re asking for a spanking again, aren’t you, Tongtong... All right, it’s getting late. Let’s go home and sleep."

"Yay, let’s go home and sleep together!"

「Back at the residential complex.」

Jiang Liu parked the car in the dimly lit underground garage.

He held Tongtong in his arms, with a curious Jun Qingmeng in tow.

The three of them got into the same elevator and pressed the button for one floor.

"Daddy."

"Hmm?"
