Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 438: Chapter 437: Jun Xinghe Meets the In-laws

Jiang Tongtong ran over and whispered.

’I know where Daddy keeps his chili oil!’

Hehe.

’It’s okay for me to give a little away on Daddy’s behalf, right?’

Uncle Liu glanced at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu nodded, then looked down and continued with his work, pretending not to notice his daughter secretly giving away his chili oil.

His daughter had a pure and kind heart.

He wanted to protect it.

A moment later, Uncle Liu excitedly scurried out the door with half a pound of chili oil, as if making a getaway.

HAHAHA!

Jackpot!

It was as if silent, triumphant laughter was carried on the wind.

The corner of Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched.

’I was wrong. My daughter isn’t kind, she’s just damn naive!’

Whatever, whatever.

It was only a few bucks’ worth.

As Uncle Liu was a loyal, practically worshipful old customer, Jiang Liu was willing to turn a blind eye.

"Daddy."

"Hm? What is it, my little treasure?"

"Daddy, can I wash your feet for you tonight?"

"You can."

"Daddy, move aside. I’ll help you scrub."

Jiang Tongtong, feeling guilty, threw herself into helping Jiang Liu with his work.

After a little while, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.

"...Daddy, WAHHH, there’s something I have to tell you."

"What is it?"

Jiang Liu asked with a gentle smile.

Jiang Tongtong poked her little fingers together. "I’m sorry, Daddy. I gave the chili oil you had in the kitchen to Grandpa Liu..."

She bit her lip pitifully, her big eyes welling up with tears.

She looked as pathetic as could be.

Jiang Liu was amused. He patted her head. "It’s okay. We don’t have much of anything, but we have plenty of chili peppers. If you meet any uncles or aunties you like, you can give them some."

"Okay! Tongtong will try not to give any away. It’s not easy for you to make money, Daddy, WAHHH."

"Spank me, Daddy. Go ahead and spank me, WAHHH."

The little cutie ended up making herself cry from a sense of grievance.

Both Jun Qingmeng and Jiang Liu couldn’t help but laugh.

’How could their daughter be this adorable?’

She was the one who’d made a mistake, but she acted as if she was the one who had been wronged.

Jiang Liu went to get a bottle of watermelon juice for his daughter and poured a cup of hot water for Jun Qingmeng.

"Here, drink some hot water, honey."

"Hot water?"

Jun Qingmeng froze for a second. ’How did my husband know I was on my period??’

...!!?

She suddenly thought of something.

Her face instantly turned crimson, and her fingers slowly tightened around the warm cup.

’This is so embarrassing!’

"Stop crying. Look at your eyes, they’re swollen again. Use the juice bottle to cool them down."

Jiang Liu gently wiped his daughter’s eyes.

’He was speechless inside.’

His child was just too naive and too adorable.

"Okay, Daddy." Tongtong asked pitifully, "Daddy, are you mad at Tongtong?"

"Of course not. I don’t even have enough time to love you, why would I be mad at you?"

"That’s good. I love you the most, Daddy. I’ll love you forever. Please don’t ever let Tongtong leave, okay?"

"Okay, I’ll never let you leave."

"Mwah!" Jiang Tongtong generously gave Jiang Liu a sweet little kiss and giggled.

"Honey, I want to give you one too."

"Come on, then."

"Mwah." Jun Qingmeng asked shyly, "Was it sweet?"

"Sweet!"

Jiang Liu laughed happily.

His daughter’s kiss was small and pure, full of only warmth. His wife’s kiss was cool, yet soft and scorching.

If you put them together...

...that was happiness.

8:25 PM.

Lin Qiu and Jiang Dahai, dressed in formal wear, pushed the door open and came in.

They were carrying lots of bags, big and small.

Lin Qiu had specifically found a place to change into the dress Jun Qingmeng bought for her. It wasn’t matronly or childish—it was especially beautiful.

Jiang Dahai stood awkwardly in a shirt, trousers, and leather shoes.

As a criminal police officer, he had always worn plain, ordinary clothes.

The only exception was the occasional meeting where he’d wear his police uniform.

Jiang Tongtong excitedly ran over on her short little legs and hugged Lin Qiu’s leg. "Grandma, Grandpa, you both look so good today!"

"Oh, this little one is such a sweet-talker!"

"I’m starting to see it now. Our Tongtong is especially good at making people happy. When she grows up, she’ll definitely be a real sweetheart."

Lin Qiu said as she picked Tongtong up and held her.

"Hehe, right?"

Jiang Tongtong secretly tucked her feet back, worried she might kick and dirty her grandma’s new clothes.

Jiang Dahai said, "Son, what do you think of your old man’s outfit? I won’t embarrass you, will I?"

As he spoke, he tugged awkwardly at his collar, which was a little tight.

"What’s this about embarrassing me?" Jiang Liu shot his dad an exasperated look. "I wouldn’t be ashamed of you even if you were wearing patches."

Jiang Dahai smiled. "Either way, your dad has to dress formally. Your father-in-law is a successful man, so wealthy. I’ve never spoken with an entrepreneur like that before. We can’t lose face."

Jun Qingmeng couldn’t help but say, "Uncle, my dad’s actually pretty unrefined. As long as you don’t mind him, it’ll be fine."

"Why would I mind?"

Jiang Dahai said happily, "I think your dad’s a great guy. He trusts us a lot. He agreed to let you two get your marriage certificate without even meeting us first. He must be a good person!"

He was speaking the truth.

In today’s society,

Forget about marrying someone as beautiful as his daughter-in-law; even marrying someone plain would involve a lot of grief.

When trying to get a marriage certificate, there would be this condition and that condition; the bride’s family could come up with a new demand every day.

They’d put you through the wringer, trying to suck you dry before they’d finally quit!

The family was sitting and talking together.

Just then, Jun Xinghe’s Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up in front of the fresh fruit store.

Passing customers stopped to stare curiously, but none dared to get close.

A luxury car like this was a rare sight. There were probably only a few in all of South City. Moreover, the car’s paint job was clearly custom—a jet black with a hint of deep blue, exuding elegance amidst its stately presence.

"President Jun, do you think I should accompany you?"

Secretary Wang shamelessly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was practically drooling!

’Without a doubt, the food tonight would be a feast.’

’Maybe after everyone was done eating, he could even lick the plates and take some leftovers home for his wife.’

"Hm? What did you say?"

Jun Xinghe turned and gave him a cool glance.

"Nothing..."

Secretary Wang trembled. He could clearly see a five-word question in President Jun’s eyes: ’You want a midlife crisis?’

"Just put the things by the door, then you can go."

"Yes..."

Huffing and puffing, Secretary Wang moved the gifts from the trunk to the door, then got in the car and left quickly.

He couldn’t stay another minute, afraid he wouldn’t be able to suppress the primordial power within him and... and fall down and worship President Jun.

Jun Xinghe placed the gift basket of nuts by the door, then used his phone as a mirror to straighten his collar and hair.

After confirming everything was in order,

he nervously picked up the red wine and the watch gift box and entered the store.

Hearing the sound,

all five people looked over at the same time.

At that moment, Jun Xinghe felt an incomparable pressure, a pressure far greater than what he’d felt facing tens of thousands of people at company award ceremonies.

Jiang Dahai was also feeling immense pressure.

The two awkward fathers looked at each other.

"Mr. Jun?"

"Mr. Jiang!"

They strode forward quickly, pretending to be excited as they shook hands.

"A pleasure, a pleasure. You look so young!"

"You’re too kind, too kind. You look very young yourself!"

"Haha."

"Hahaha."

"From now on, I’ll have to trouble you to take good care of my child, Qingmeng."

"You’re too kind, too kind. Thank you for your guidance and support for Liu’er."
