Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Tongtong Hasn’t Been Spanked for 3 Days

Yang Yixue was taken aback by Jiang Liu’s decisiveness, and her confidence wavered.

Her eyes darted around as she changed the subject.

"It’s already late. Since Tongtong is asleep, I should head back. I’ll come visit Tongtong again on Saturday. You should get some sleep too, and take care of yourself. Can you promise me that?"

Jiang Liu didn’t say a word.

Yang Yixue took a deep breath, trying to salvage the situation. "Jiang Liu, I hope you’ll seriously think about the problems between us. We were together for five years, and I even gave you a daughter. We can’t just give up because of a small bump in the road. That would be cruel to you, to me, and to Tongtong."

After speaking, she turned to leave, trying to make a cool exit. But she accidentally tripped her right foot over her left and nearly fell, looking utterly pathetic.

If Jiang Liu had dared to be this cold and unresponsive before he opened his store, Yang Yixue never would have tolerated it.

She would have flown into a rage and cursed him out long ago.

But things were different now.

Jiang Liu was making millions a month. She didn’t dare to offend him.

’What I need to think about now is how to get back together with Jiang Liu. Nothing else matters!’

The moment Yang Yixue turned around, Jiang Liu finally spoke. "I already considered it a year ago, and I’m even less likely to consider it now. Besides, I already have a girlfriend."

Yang Yixue froze for a split second, then stiffly held her head high and got into the elevator, pointedly pretending she hadn’t heard him.

She still wanted to talk to Jiang Liu about getting remarried.

The atmosphere inside the apartment instantly brightened.

"She’s gone?"

Lin Qiu peeked out from the sofa.

"Yep."

Jiang Liu locked the door.

"Good, good, good. She’s finally gone. That woman is so annoying," Jiang Dahai complained.

The tension on Jun Qingmeng’s small face eased.

She had been worried Jiang Liu and Yang Yixue would rekindle things.

Jiang Tongtong, wearing matching pajamas, timidly poked her head out of the bathroom. "Daddy, is she gone?"

"She’s gone, Tongtong."

Jiang Liu walked over, picked up his sweet little Tongtong, and gently ruffled her hair to comfort her.

Her cheeks were ice-cold to the touch, a clear sign of her distress.

"It’s okay, don’t worry. Daddy’s here."

"WAHH! Tongtong was scared to death just now."

Jiang Tongtong threw her arms around Jiang Liu’s neck and pressed her cheek tightly against his. What had just happened left the little girl feeling very insecure.

"Daddy, Tongtong doesn’t want to see your ex-wife anymore. Can you please figure something out?"

"It would be so nice if Teacher Qingmeng was my mommy."

As she spoke, tears started to fall, PLIP, PLOP.

She had been terrified, hiding in the bathroom, not even daring to sneeze.

’What if I get taken away by Daddy’s ex-wife? I’ll never see Daddy or Teacher Qingmeng again.’

Jiang Liu gently tapped Tongtong’s little nose. "Starting to be a crybaby again, are we? What does Daddy usually teach you?"

"Okay, Tongtong won’t cry. But Daddy, you have to protect me so the bad lady can’t take me away." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Jiang Liu gave her a reassuring smile. "Don’t worry. I’ll find a lawyer in the next couple of days and figure out how to get her visitation rights revoked."

Seeing his daughter so frightened, Jiang Liu didn’t dare to delay any longer. The day after tomorrow was another visitation day.

If Yang Yixue legally took Tongtong away then, who knew what kind of scare the little girl would have to endure.

"You’re the best, Daddy!"

Tongtong continued to nuzzle against Jiang Liu’s cheek.

"Don’t feel sad, Tongtong. Teacher Qingmeng is here with you!"

Jun Qingmeng gently pinched Tongtong’s little cheek.

"Hehe." Tongtong broke into a smile, and a stream of snot came shooting out. SPLAT.

"You’re the best too, Teacher Qingmeng." SNIFFLE.

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Aren’t you embarrassed? Five years old and you still have a runny nose."

"Such a big girl and still a crybaby. You little snot-nosed silly."

"Hmph!" Tongtong pouted with all her might.

’Your little darling is angry, can’t you see?’

The room filled with cheerful laughter.

Jun Qingmeng poked Jiang Liu’s back and asked in a low voice, "When you said you had a girlfriend just now... were you talking about me?"

Jiang Liu, who was holding Tongtong and patting her bottom to soothe her, glanced at Qingmeng and shook his head.

"Qingmeng, don’t get the wrong idea. I only said that to her on purpose to make her stop coming around."

"Oh, okay!"

Jun Qingmeng was clearly unhappy. She rolled her eyes and said,

"And here I thought you’d agreed to be with me. Our love was so short-lived."

"Careful, or I might dream about spanking you tonight!"

Jiang Liu gave a helpless smile, not knowing how to respond.

Jun Qingmeng asked, "Jiang Liu, do you need a lawyer? I have a friend who works in that field. I can introduce you."

"A friend of yours?"

Jiang Liu frowned. He didn’t really want to trouble her with this matter.

Jun Qingmeng smiled faintly and took out her phone. "Yes, a female friend. I don’t usually make friends with men."

"Look, if you don’t believe me!"

She opened WeChat and showed Jiang Liu her friends list.

Her gorgeous face was just short of having the three words "Praise me now" written on it.

Jiang Dahai nodded in satisfaction.

’Not bad.’

’This girl cares even more about Jiang Liu’s feelings than he thought.’

Jiang Liu glanced at her. "Why are you telling me all this?"

Jun Qingmeng pursed her lips into a smile. "I just want you to know that I only have eyes for you. And I’ll always care about your feelings and never let you feel the slightest bit wronged. Trust me!"

For a moment, Jiang Liu was at a loss for words.

After she finished speaking, Jiang Liu was silent for a few seconds before asking with concern, "When Yang Yixue was here making a scene, she didn’t hurt you, did she?"

"I was in the shower. I heard the noise, so I quickly rinsed off and came out."

’Jun Qingmeng must have felt awful during all that.’

Jiang Liu had heard Yang Yixue calling her a "homewrecker" and other names.

’If Jun Qingmeng felt wronged, Jiang Liu would seriously slap Yang Yixue. Ten slaps wouldn’t be enough to vent his anger.’

"Not at all," Jun Qingmeng said, shaking her head. Then she added playfully, "Your little girlfriend can be pretty fierce too, you know."

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow. "Friend, not girlfriend. You’ll give people the wrong idea talking like that, you know."

"How about ’tomorrow’s little girlfriend,’ then?"

Jiang Liu felt a headache coming on. He shot her down, "You can’t call yourself that tomorrow, either."

"WAHH, love really is fleeting. Tongtong, your teacher just had her heart broken. Can you comfort me?"

Jun Qingmeng pretended to wipe her eyes.

From Jiang Liu’s arms, Tongtong reached out and patted Jun Qingmeng’s head. "Don’t be sad~ Tongtong will flick him on the forehead later and see if he dares to bully you again."

Jiang Liu casually gave Tongtong a flick on the forehead.

"Oof! Daddy, you dared to flick me?"

Tongtong clutched her head, glaring angrily at Jiang Liu.

She was trying to look fierce, but only managed to look cute.

"So what if I flicked you? If I don’t discipline you for three days, you’ll be trying to tear the house down, won’t you?"

Tongtong was brazenly unafraid.

"You just wait, you’re going to get a spanking! Tongtong isn’t that easy to bully."

His hand itching for more, Jiang Liu flicked her again.

THUMP. A crisp sound.

"WAAAH—Daddy, I was wrong! WAHH, I’ll never do it again!"
