If Dad found out that Jiang Liu was just an ordinary shop owner, he would definitely destroy Jiang Liu’s shop.
Jun Qingng didn’t want Jiang Liu to be ruined because of her.
She truly loved Jiang Liu.
The text ssage unsettled Jun Xinghe. He sat up straight, his brow furrowed into two deep lines.
In his eyes, Jiang Liu was an incredibly satisfactory son-in-law.
He was a good earner, handso, smart, and down-to-earth, with a solid character. And his cooking could one day stand at the pinnacle of the culinary world.
Such a great guy.
He couldn’t stand the thought of letting soone else snatch him up.
Jun Xinghe relented and replied, "Alright, alright. I won’t investigate him, okay? Don’t worry, daughter. It’s fine."
Still, he couldn’t resist sending another ssage:
"But the match I found for you is truly excellent in every way. Why don’t you agree to et him, and we can make a decision after that? I won’t force you two to do anything."
Jun Qingng didn’t hesitate, her tone firm. "Don’t even think about it. I love my partner very much. Are you asking to betray him?"
In her eyes, eting another man while she was dating Jiang Liu was betrayal.
What if Jiang Liu broke up with her?
Given Jiang Liu’s personality...
She wouldn’t get a second chance.
Jun Xinghe rubbed the bridge of his nose.
His daughter was too stubborn.
As a father, this was truly exhausting.
He composed a long ssage, then deleted it. Finally, Jun Xinghe sent a more tactful one:
"Qingng, you need to understand that sotis this is just a person’s fate. You don’t have much room to choose. Since you are my daughter, there are so things you simply have to face and endure."
"I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll take one final step back. Have your boyfriend co and talk to , face to face. If you don’t agree, then everything will be handled my way."
He had it all planned out. He would use a mix of threats and persuasion to scare his daughter’s boyfriend away. ’A re young man? As if I can’t handle him? Heh, how naive!’
Jun Xinghe put down his phone. The thought of Jiang Liu’s cooking only strengthened his resolve. Such an outstanding young man had to be his daughter’s. Otherwise, it would be a huge loss.
Jun Qingng had just turned off her phone when it rang again.
She didn’t want to look, but at Guo Jia’s urging, she opened it anyway.
She read the ssage.
Jun Qingng bit her lip.
She was a little tempted. If Jiang Liu could pass her dad’s "interview," they could be together with greater peace of mind.
Jun Qingng asked cautiously, "Then can you promise to be gentle with him? He’s a really good person. If you promise not to bully him, I’ll agree."
Jun Xinghe: "I promise. Also, I can lower my standards. As long as he passes, I’ll approve of you two being together. However, you need to have a child as soon as possible and give them to to raise."
He ntally added a condition. ’Unless the boy reaches two-thirds of Jiang Liu’s level and has a talent for cooking. In that case, I’ll send him to Jiang Liu to be coached.’
Jun Qingng finished reading the text.
Her heart began to feel uneasy again.
’Dad is lowering his standards, but by how much?’
Although in her eyes, Jiang Liu was adorable and perfect in every way, at the end of the day, he was just a small shop owner beloved by the neighborhood. Would a big-shot entrepreneur like her dad look down on him?
’I’m so worried...’
As for having a child, Jun Qingng wanted to have one with Jiang Liu, too.
But she would ask Tongtong and Jiang Liu for their opinions.
If Tongtong didn’t want a younger sibling, or if Jiang Liu didn’t want another child, she would obediently take precautions.
Jun Qingng changed her tune and replied, "Let’s talk about it later. There’s no rush. Let think about it."
Jun Xinghe: ???
’Didn’t we agree that you’d say yes if I promised not to bully him?’
’How is my own daughter becoming so hard for to understand?’
He considered his words and replied, "I hope you make a decision soon. I don’t want to wait long. If my patience runs out, I will arrange a new match for you. As for your current boyfriend, I will make him stay far, far away from you. Believe ."
After sending the ssage, Jun Xinghe leaned back on the sofa.
A mont later, one of his subordinates called to report that Xiao Liu had already boarded his flight and would arrive in Africa Luwangda tomorrow.
Jun Xinghe hung up, his interest waning.
’What’s the use?’
’Even if he sent that guy to another planet, it didn’t guarantee Jiang Liu would beco his son-in-law.’
’There’s nothing more tragic in the world. Sigh!’
Jun Xinghe asked the housekeeper to make him a al of beef and potatoes, stead shrimp and corn buns, and three-delicacy buns.
He had only taken a couple of bites before he couldn’t eat anymore.
’This is disgusting!’
Before, he would have thought it tasted pretty good.
The housekeeper asked, "President Jun, is it not to your liking?"
"No, it’s very good. My stomach just isn’t feeling well. Thank you for your hard work."
Jun Xinghe replied blandly.
He thought to himself.
’I need to finish up my work quickly and get back to South City to satisfy my cravings... This is torture...’
***
Jun Qingng lay on the sofa, her eyes staring blankly into space.
She didn’t know whether she should let Jiang Liu et her father.
The sound of a toilet flushing ca from the bathroom.
Guo Jia ca out and asked worriedly, "Did you sort things out with your dad? Did he agree to let you and Jiang Liu be together?"
She was very concerned about the fate of the buns.
"Sigh!" Jun Qingng let out a breath.
She told her the truth:
"My dad gave two choices. One, he finds a ’suitable’ partner he deems worthy. Two, he talks with Jiang Liu. I feel like if Jiang Liu ets him, the odds are stacked against him. That bastard father of mine is capable of anything."
Guo Jia frowned, sitting on the sofa and stroking Jun Qingng’s smooth, shapely thigh.
"I think there’s a high probability your dad will say no. Jiang Liu is really great, but your dad is a big-shot entrepreneur with ridiculously high standards. You really think he’ll approve of you being with a divorced guy who doesn’t even own a house?"
"I don’t know what to do. Guo Jia, can you help co up with a plan?"
Jun Qingng felt vulnerable, a sense of panic rising in her heart.
She was terrified that the happiness she had finally found would go up in flas.
Guo Jia sucked in a breath, pinching her chin with a frown. "Let think... What if the two of you elope with Jiang Liu and Tongtong? We could all go to the Guang City tropolitan Area and start over."
Jun Qingng quickly shot her down. "No way! Jiang Liu’s parents are here, and he’s from South City. Besides, he worked so hard to build a foundation here. I don’t want to make him go through all that."
"Forget it, then. Don’t worry about it for now. Let’s just ignore my dad. If it gets to a point where I can’t hold him off anymore, I’ll go test the waters for Jiang Liu first. Once things are sorted out, I’ll let Jiang Liu et him."
Guo Jia said helplessly, "You silly girl. You’re always thinking about your precious man, but would he do the sa for you?"
A tender look filled Jun Qingng’s eyes. She rested her hands behind her head and said:
"I don’t care about that. Jiang Liu and Tongtong have already been through so much. I don’t want them to suffer even the slightest bit of harm because of ."
Guo Jia sighed.
"Fine. Are you going to tell Jiang Liu about this?"
"I don’t want to distract him. I’ll tell him after it’s all resolved."
Jun Qingng stood up. "I’m going to take a shower. You should get to bed."
With that, she grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom.
Her phone pinged.
Jiang Liu had already given Tongtong a bath, and the two of them were now in bed playing a ga.
He sent a ssage to Jun Qingng: "Tongtong and I are in bed. We’ll be asleep soon."
Jun Qingng didn’t reply.
Jiang Tongtong was playing Minecraft with Jiang Liu, her little butt sticking up in the air.
Jiang Liu wanted to fight zombies, but Tongtong liked to build houses.
"Daddy, co back ho and play with ! ... WAHHH, can you please not smash the little chicken to death?"
"If you kill it, you get a chicken leg. Don’t you want one? I’ll make you a roasted chicken leg later."
"Okay!"
Tongtong continued to build her house with tireless persistence.
