Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 430: Chapter 429: Getting the License

The little cutie was just dying of impatience.

She wished she could just get married for her dad and mom!

’Mhm, I’ll snatch Mommy away from Daddy, and then I’ll be the one to dote on her, hehe.’

"Alright, settle down now!"

Jiang Liu patted his daughter’s head and looked at Jun Qingmeng, who was smiling with her lips pressed together.

"Aren’t we being a little too rash?"

"Not at all!" Jun Qingmeng said hurriedly.

Her heart pounded with anxiety.

Jiang Liu smiled and took her hand. "What I mean is, shouldn’t I get down on one knee and propose to you first?"

"No!"

Jun Qingmeng breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head adorably.

"Honey, we don’t need to do that. I don’t want you kneeling to me."

’Kneel my ass! My husband isn’t allowed to kneel!’

She stepped forward and hugged Jiang Liu.

She had loved Jiang Liu for so many years.

In her heart, he was a treasure,

so precious she was afraid he would melt in her hands.

How could she bear to have her precious treasure kneel for her?

She didn’t need to assert any kind of dominance; she just wanted to grow old with Jiang Liu.

"Alright, whatever you say."

"Honey, let’s go! Let’s go get our marriage certificate."

"Okay!"

"Yay, we’re getting our certificate! Tongtong and Mommy are going to be a family!"

Jiang Liu just smiled.

Jun Qingmeng gripped Jiang Liu’s hand firmly, her own hand covering his in a protective gesture.

"Lawyer Wang, we’re off to get our certificate, so we won’t keep you," Jiang Liu said.

Wang City looked on with a hint of envy. "Boss Jiang, you and Miss Jun truly look like the perfect couple. I wish you a lifetime of happiness together."

"Thank you."

"Thank you," Jun Qingmeng added, giving Lawyer Wang a rare smile.

Lawyer Wang quickly waved his hands. "Don’t mention it! I won’t give you a red envelope just yet—I’m not prepared. But when you hold the wedding, be sure to let me know, alright?"

"Of course."

Once they were in the car.

Jiang Liu looked at Jun Qingmeng, who was snuggled up against him with a blissful expression. "Honey, you should call your dad and let him know. It would be rude of me not to say anything."

"After all, I’m about to whisk away the Little Princess Uncle Jun raised for the rest of her life."

"In your dreams!" Jun Qingmeng shot him a look. "You make the call."

Jiang Liu first sent a WeChat message to Jun Xinghe: "Uncle Jun, are you busy? There’s something important I need to discuss with you. It has to be over the phone!"

This was a big deal.

He was, after all, about to run off with the precious daughter someone else had raised.

If he couldn’t meet him in person, a call was the least he could do.

In the conference room, everyone was discussing the new project blueprints.

BUZZ!

"President Jun, you have a WeChat message from Little President Jiang. Should I show you?" Secretary Wang whispered.

"Hand me the phone."

Jun Xinghe took the phone and glanced at the screen.

He immediately stood up and said, "Everyone, please continue the discussion. I need to use the restroom."

"Of course, President Jun!"

"My throat is dry anyway, I could use a drink of water. Take your time, President Jun."

"I’m going to get some water too. My throat feels like it’s on fire."

Jun Xinghe returned to his office and closed the door.

He even took a moment to leisurely add some Pu’er tea leaves to his thermos.

He dialed Jiang Liu’s number.

The call connected within seconds, and the sound of rushing wind came from the other end.

Jun Xinghe’s tone was gentle. "What is it, Xiao Jiang? Did something happen?"

Jiang Liu chuckled. "Uncle Jun, here’s the thing. I want to take Qingmeng to register our marriage today. What do you think... is that alright?"

As he said the last words, Jiang Liu felt a little nervous.

His heart began to beat a little faster.

"Huh?"

Jun Xinghe thought he had misheard. "What did you say?"

"Uncle Jun, I want to register my marriage with Qingmeng. We’re going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate. Right now!"

Jiang Liu took a deep breath and spoke again, slowly and clearly, enunciating every word.

After he finished speaking,

a "CLATTER, BANG" came from the other end of the line.

"Uncle Jun?"

In the office.

Jun Xinghe snatched his phone off the floor. "Go! Go! Go right now! I approve!"

"As soon as you get the certificate, take a picture and send it to me!"

’Go get it, full speed ahead!’

’Make it a top-level emergency!’

’Xiao Jiang is finally marrying my daughter.’

’It was driving me, her father, absolutely crazy!’

’If they dated any longer, Xiao Jiang might find out there’s something wrong with my daughter’s head, and then it would all be over!’

Jun Xinghe finished speaking and let out a sigh of relief.

’No, I can’t rest easy yet. I need to see their marriage certificate with my own two eyes!’

Jiang Liu also sighed in relief. He glanced at his wife-to-be. "Okay, we’re heading out now, Uncle Jun. We’ll call you after we’re done."

"Go on, hurry," Jun Xinghe said, then hesitated before adding, "But don’t drive too fast. Be careful on the road."

After saying that, Jun Xinghe was surprised at himself.

’When did I learn to be so caring?’ he wondered.

He’d never told anyone in his life to drive carefully.

Clearly, his usual cool and detached demeanor was no match for his precious son-in-law...

"Got it, Uncle Jun. I’m hanging up now, I’ll let you get back to work."

Jiang Liu hung up and waved his phone at Jun Qingmeng.

"Your dad approves. How about a hug?"

"Mmmph~"

Jun Qingmeng made a soft, happy sound and obediently threw herself into Jiang Liu’s arms.

Her soft, fragrant body filled his arms—a truly exquisite feeling.

"Daddy, what about Tongtong? Did you forget about me? I want a hug too!"

Jiang Tongtong quickly clambered onto the center console, trying to squeeze in between them.

’You’re not going to get married and then ignore your little cutie, are you?’

Jiang Liu wrapped an arm around his daughter.

The happy family of three embraced.

Outside the windshield, a passing family saw the sweet scene of the three inside the car.

The woman said admiringly, "That family seems so close. And their daughter is so beautiful."

What she didn’t say was that the gorgeous girl’s husband was incredibly handsome.

The man shook his head. "Maybe they just saved up enough for a down payment. Young people are under a lot of pressure these days. They look happy, but who knows what’s really going on."

"Mom, what are you guys looking at?"

"Nothing much. We just saw a girl who’s as pretty as you are."

her mother said gently.

’Even if my daughter isn’t quite as pretty as that one, she’s still my baby.’

*

Jun Qingmeng pulled away from Jiang Liu, her face flushed. "Honey, you should start driving. I’m going to tell my mother-in-law the good news."

"Alright, let’s go!"

"Off to get married! Yay!"

Jun Qingmeng called Lin Qiu.

At that moment, Lin Qiu was on a bus, engrossed in a sugary-sweet romance novel.

She couldn’t help but roast the author. "’Are your hands broken or is your brain? Can’t you write any faster? Besides, this writing isn’t even that good! And the Chapter output sucks.’"

Suddenly, her phone screen lit up with an incoming call from "Precious Daughter-in-Law."

Lin Qiu answered in a heartbeat.

"Hello? Sweetheart, what’s up? I’m on the bus, I’ll be there soon."

Jun Qingmeng put the call on speaker and said nervously, "Auntie, Jiang Liu and I are on our way to register our marriage right now. Do you... give us your blessing to be together?"

"Registering your marriage?!"

Lin Qiu’s voice jumped three octaves. "I approve! Go, go!"

"Where are you now? The Civil Affairs Bureau closes in two hours, you better hurry up!"

She’d been wishing on every star in the sky for this, and now they were finally making it official.

Lin Qiu was beyond thrilled.

’It’s best to lock her son down as soon as possible. Put ten locks on him—the kind even a train couldn’t break through.’

’And give me a big, chubby grandson by next year!’

Jun Qingmeng hugged her phone, her feet swinging happily without her even noticing.

’My mother-in-law approves!’

Phew, she could finally breathe a huge sigh of relief.
