Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: Playful Uncle

“Uncle~ are you busy?” Jian Dan poked her head through the gap in the door.

When Chu Liyuan saw Jian Jian’s little head, a smile tugged at his lips, “Come here~”

It was only after receiving Chu Liyuan’s permission that Jian Dan slowly made her way inside.

No sooner had Jian Dan walked up to Chu Liyuan than he reached out, pulled her into his embrace, and let Jian Jian sit on his lap, “Speak! What’s up?”

If there was nothing important, Jian Jian would never knock on the door. Chu Liyuan understood her very well.

“Hehe~ actually, it’s about Molly and Meng Ran!

They’re planning to get their marriage certificate today! But…”

“Got it, I’ll change my clothes!” Chu Liyuan caught on to Jian Jian’s purpose from the get-go.

“Uncle, what on earth do you have in that brain of yours?”

This lass’s train of thought was leaping too far, wasn’t it? Suddenly asking such a question, “What?”

“I haven’t said anything yet and you already know what it’s about, I feel like my IQ has been crushed!”

(Author: Hasn’t it always been crushed?

Jian Jian: No one would think you’re mute if you kept quiet!

Author: Alas, the truth often hurts!

Jian Jian: Then you might as well keep your mouth shut.

Author: Sorry, but I am the boss here!)

“Silly lass, it’s not that you’re not smart, but that our hearts are connected, so I know everything that’s in your heart.”

“That’s true! Hehe…

But Uncle, is it alright to leave the work you have today?”

“It won’t take too long, no worries!”

The four of them went to the civil affairs office together…

Thanks to Chu Liyuan, the paperwork was processed very quickly.

Outside the civil affairs office, Molly and Meng Ran each held a little red booklet, never tiring of looking at them with identical expressions on their faces.

“Uncle, did I have the same expression when I first got this little red booklet?” Jian Dan reminisced about the day she and Uncle got their marriage certificate.

Chu Liyuan’s lips curled into a smile, “You were even more exaggerated!”

“Really?” Jian Dan naturally couldn’t see her own expression at that time.

“Of course, because you realized you had married an uncle!”

Why had Uncle suddenly started bringing up old scores?

Jian Dan, oh Jian Dan, have you really lost your mind, why in the world did you ask that question?

“Hehe~ I just like Uncle. Even if you shoved a young hottie at me, I wouldn’t spare him a glance!”

“Really? I recall once after watching a movie, Jian Jian seemed quite smitten with the male lead in it; that guy couldn’t have been very old!”

Uncle, you’re definitely doing this on purpose. Who can handle this constant dredging up of the past?

At this moment, Jian Dan couldn’t stop scanning her memory for any dirt she might have on Uncle.

But after racking her brain, she came up empty. It wasn’t that there weren’t any old scores, but if she dredged them up, it wouldn’t just be Uncle who’d be upset; she’d end up shooting herself in the foot too.

“But I haven’t married anyone else, I’ve only married Uncle!”

“Looks like Jian Jian has some regrets?”

Jian Dan’s eyes flickered. Since she had no old scores to settle, she opted for an opposite tactic.

“Right? I never got to experience so many types of guys. Indeed, it’s quite a pity.”

Jian Dan observed Uncle’s expression out of the corner of her eye.

“Does Jian Jian want to try?” Chu Liyuan leaned in close to ask.

“Well, Uncle, you wouldn’t mind?” Jian Dan continued, suppressing the nervousness inside.

“Even if I didn’t mind, what man would dare?”

“Right! So~ I’d better just stay obediently by Uncle’s side.” Seeing Uncle’s face darken like the bottom of a pot, Jian Dan knew she couldn’t push the teasing any further.

“Does Jian Jian seem reluctant?”

“Not at all! I’m totally willing, okay? Uncle, look into my sincere eyes!” Jian Dan leaned close to Chu Liyuan’s face.

“Seems sincere enough!”

“What do you mean ‘seems’? It’s incredibly sincere, okay? Uncle, are you doing this on purpose today, just to pick on me?” Jian Dan pouted, looking aggrieved.

Seeing Jian Jian’s expression, Chu Liyuan’s usually impassive face suddenly softened with a smile…
