Tongtong happily dove into Jiang Liu’s arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a big smooch.

"MWAH, MWAH! Hehe, Tongtong loves you the most, Daddy! And I love you too, Mommy!"

Jun Qingmeng smiled beside them.

Jiang Liu patted Tongtong’s little bottom. "Alright, settle down now. Focus on the TV."

"Okay~"

They watched "Boonie Bears" for a while.

Tongtong was grinning excitedly the entire time.

"Daddy, tomorrow is Friday, and the day after is Saturday! Hehe, look! Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I can be with you for all three days!"

Jiang Tongtong happily counted on her fingers.

"And you have to take me out to play, Daddy!"

She jumped on the sofa a few times in excitement.

Jiang Liu had previously told Tongtong not to jump on the floor because it would disturb the neighbors downstairs.

Since then, Tongtong had been very obedient and hadn’t jumped on the floor, no matter how happy she was. She would only jump a few times on the bed or the sofa.

Back in the bedroom.

The three of them snuggled under the covers.

Jun Qingmeng, sleeping next to Tongtong, gently reached out her arm to hug Jiang Liu.

Jiang Tongtong created a warm little nest between them.

’Being hugged between Mommy and Daddy is super comfy!’

"Daddy, can we watch one more episode of the bears?"

"We can, but what if you fall asleep in a few minutes?" Jiang Liu said with a half-smile.

Jiang Tongtong declared with a straight face, "I won’t! Tongtong isn’t sleepy at all!"

"Fine, we’ll watch a little longer then."

"Yay!"

Tongtong snuggled comfortably in Jiang Liu’s arms, her little hands on her tummy. "Mommy, Daddy, you have to hold your little baby tight, or Bald Qiang might come and steal her away."

"If your little baby goes missing, you’ll be crying your eyes out!"

Jun Qingmeng: "We won’t cry."

Jiang Liu, feigning delight: "Oh, that’s great then."

"Waaah, fine!"

To everyone’s surprise, the little cutie was the first to start "crying." How pitiful!

After a minute, as expected, Tongtong powered down.

Jiang Liu turned off the projector and opened WeChat.

He replied to the WeChat messages from Yue Longfan and Hu Yongfa.

Wang Han had also sent him a message asking if he was asleep yet, but Jiang Liu decided to reply tomorrow.

Jun Qingmeng gently stroked Tongtong’s hair and looked up at Jiang Liu.

"Honey, what if I want to sleep next to you?"

"Come here."

"Coming."

Jun Qingmeng simply rolled over to Jiang Liu’s side of the bed, turning and snuggling into his embrace.

He was filled with her soft, fragrant warmth.

Jun Qingmeng’s body was warm and soft, and it was very comfortable to hold her.

"Should we go to sleep?" Jiang Liu gently pinched Jun Qingmeng’s nose.

"Mmm~" Jun Qingmeng hummed softly.

"Honey, I like you so much... Do you get annoyed that I say this so often?"

"Not at all. You’re just being honest about your feelings. I like you too."

Jun Qingmeng looked directly into Jiang Liu’s eyes, her gaze full of love. "I’m so happy you’re in this world. If you weren’t here, I would be so, so sad."

Jiang Liu looked at her and smiled.

Jun Qingmeng said worriedly, "If we meet my dad and he gets upset seeing Tongtong and scolds her, honey, don’t you worry. I’ll be the one to teach him a lesson."

She spoke so softly to Jiang Liu; it was hard to imagine this was the same domineering CEO.

Jiang Liu nodded. "I know. How about this: I’ll talk to her first, give Tongtong a little heads-up so she won’t be so scared when the time comes."

"Okay. I’m just worried my dad will be passive-aggressive with Tongtong. He’s not a very nice person."

As Jun Qingmeng spoke, she let out a sigh of relief. A wave of sleepiness washed over her, and she yawned.

"Go to sleep, okay? Look how sleepy you are. If you stay up any later, you’ll get panda eyes."

"If I do get panda eyes, are you going to laugh at me?" Jun Qingmeng threateningly raised a small fist. "If you laugh at me, I’ll punch you and turn *you* into a giant panda!"

"Of course not. I’ll just take a picture of your panda eyes and hang it up in the store for the customers to admire."

"You’re asking for a beating!"

"Okay, okay, let’s sleep."

"Mmm!"

Jun Qingmeng closed her eyes and squirmed a little, finding a comfortable position in Jiang Liu’s arms.

She didn’t mind if they touched in sensitive places. After all, she had already decided on Jiang Liu, so she didn’t mind his touch at all.

"Honey?"

"Yeah."

"If one of us does something wrong, let’s make sure to forgive each other."

"Alright, no problem."

Jiang Liu gently patted Jun Qingmeng’s delicate back, lulling her to sleep.

The corners of Jun Qingmeng’s mouth curled up into a faint smile.

After a minute, she spoke again in a low voice, "If you’re short on money to buy a house, you can tell me. I have money... I want to marry you soon. I don’t want to wait."

Jiang Liu didn’t refuse. "Don’t worry. If I need it, I’ll definitely ask you."

He was now thinking that marrying Jun Qingmeng would be a pretty good thing.

Before, he felt a bit like he was being pushed into it by her, but after spending more time together, he had come to accept her.

Jiang Liu had always believed that marriage was for life and couldn’t be entered into rashly.

With her eyes closed, Jun Qingmeng smiled sweetly. "I like it when you spend my money."

"You know, for me, you being willing to spend my money is what makes me feel like you’re really my husband."

She didn’t like it when Jiang Liu was overly polite with her.

Perhaps she was a bit impatient, since they hadn’t been together for very long.

But Jun Qingmeng was greedy; she just wanted to have all of Jiang Liu as quickly as possible, afraid that someone else might snatch him away again.

Jiang Liu took the initiative to hold her hand and said with a laugh, "But I have spent it before, haven’t I? When I cook for you, I don’t charge you, do I? I’m not trying to be distant, it’s just that sometimes I don’t need to. And maybe there’s a little bit of machismo involved. Guys tend to have a bit of pride, you know?"

"You’re so cute, Jiang Liu!" Jun Qingmeng opened her eyes, looking at him with a smile.

"If I became a domineering CEO, would you be willing to listen to me?"

"What? Are you trying to groom me into a kept man?"

"If you’re willing, you can be my kept man forever."

"Pfft, let Tongtong do it. I don’t want to!"

"Giggle, giggle... how are you getting cuter and cuter? I like it so much."

Jiang Liu: ...

Jun Qingmeng said, lost in her fantasy, "After a while, let’s buy a super big, super beautiful house, and we can bring your parents over to live with us. I’ll support them."

Jiang Liu was surprised. "Other wives hate living with their in-laws. Why are you the opposite?"

"Because I love you. Your mother is my mother. Besides, your parents are very nice people. I really like being around them."

"Is that so."

"Mmm-hmm!" Jun Qingmeng continued, "I want to buy the kind with adjoining suites, or maybe a duplex. That way we can live very close, but without crossing any boundaries."

After saying this, Jun Qingmeng felt a little embarrassed.

’She was afraid of making noises that could be heard. That would be so embarrassing.’

’She’d never be able to face her mother-in-law again!’

"That could work. It’s a good idea. We could live together while still having our privacy."

Jiang Liu then asked, "Then what about your dad? Are you not going to care about him? Should we have him come live with us too?"

Jun Qingmeng shot Jiang Liu a huge eye-roll.

"Don’t even think about it. He’s flying all over the place 360 days a year, where would he find the time to live here? Besides, it’s not even certain if he’ll accept us being together. Even if he did, he definitely wouldn’t come live near us."
