Chapter 366 - 176: Jiang Yi’s Favorability Increased, Meteorite Acquired! (Three-in-One)

As soon as Jiang Tao got home, Xu Li started busying herself by reheating the pre-prepared dishes for him in the microwave.

In less than 10 minutes, Xu Li placed a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork, a small portion of beef, and a small portion of boiled fish on the table in front of Jiang Tao.

"Smells great! This boiled fish must be from my wife’s culinary skills."

Jiang Tao praised her with a cheerful smile while picking up a piece of sliced fish and putting it into his mouth.

Spicy, numbing, fresh, aromatic.

Simply delicious!

Xu Li’s culinary skills are definitely the biggest obstacle to Jiang Tao’s weight loss journey.

"Hehe, when I saved some food for you, I specially left about half of the fish for you. I care about you, right?"

Sitting on the chair opposite Jiang Tao, Xu Li rested her elbows on the table and sweetly smiled while looking at Jiang Tao.

Watching the man she loves most eat the food she made while listening to his compliments to her.

Xu Li felt both happy and accomplished.

Her mom always said that to keep a man’s heart, you must keep his stomach.

From a young age, Xu Li learned excellent culinary skills from her mom, Du Yongmei.

When there was nothing else to do at home, she would study recipes or watch cooking videos.

Patience pays off.

After years of practice, Xu Li’s cooking skills have now reached a high level.

"My wife cares about me, that’s my dear wife."

Jiang Tao gave Xu Li a thumbs up and took another piece of boiled beef to chew.

"This must be Dad’s handiwork."

"Yes! You guessed right, Dad’s boiled beef is on par with those chefs in five-star hotels."

"If he opened a restaurant with Mom, they’d surely make money."

Xu Li also highly praised Mr. Jiang’s cooking skills.

"Have you all eaten yet?"

"Yes, Mom and Dad said they’d go check out Brother Jianjun and Sister-in-law Wenyan at the food factory, so I stayed home waiting for my husband."

"Did Xiao Xue go to Teacher Jiang’s today?"

"Yes, Teacher Jiang made dumplings for her today. Your daughter is really cherished at Teacher Jiang’s house. Whatever she wants to eat, they make it for her."

"Wow, that’s quite impressive."

"What about the Third Brother?"

"Third Brother went to her new place to organize her things. Her new place is almost ready, she can move in anytime."

"After she moves in, let’s have her treat us to a meal and warm her new place."

"Hehe, I was thinking the same! Nannan told me about a private kitchen with amazing food, we should go there."

The couple chatted away, planning how to have Third Brother treat them to a meal.

"By the way, honey, my parents and Sasha are coming over this weekend."

"My dad is taking a 5-day annual leave, and with the two weekends, he can take a 9-day break in total."

As they talked, the topic turned to Xu Li’s parents planning to visit Beijing.

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Yes, we should host them well. By the way, has the tenant in unit 62 moved out?"

Xu Li smiled and replied, "Yes, they moved everything out today. I went over to check, and the place was quite clean, so I refunded their deposit."

Jiang Tao joked, "You didn’t take a lamp over there to inspect every corner, did you?"

"Pfft, do you really think I’m that kind of person? I wouldn’t do something so petty!"

Xu Li rolled her eyes at Jiang Tao playfully, thinking she’d never do something so stingy.

"We still have a day tomorrow. I’ll go with you to buy some new bedding and supplies."

"When your parents arrive, they can stay there first."

"It’s certainly more comfortable than staying in a hotel."

"Yes, thank you, honey~ You’re the best husband ever."

Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Li looked at him with a sweet smile, feeling as sweet as honey inside.

Jiang Tao chuckled and said, "Silly, your parents are like my own, it’s all things we ought to do. No need to thank me."

"Yes! My husband is the best man and best husband in the world~"

Xu Li sweetly gazed at Jiang Tao, finding him more and more handsome by the minute!

"You’re absolutely right."

Jiang Tao nodded with a cheeky grin, accepting her praise thick-skinnedly.

Previously, because Xu Li wanted her parents to visit Beijing, it triggered something special; Jiang Tao received a [Filial Piety Card].

The Filial Piety Card refreshes with a monthly balance of 100,000 yuan.

This money can only be spent on both sets of parents.

With the [Filial Piety Card] as "financial support," spending on Xu Li’s parents was not a burden at all for Jiang Tao.

Woof woof, woof woof—

Under the table, little Wang Cai kept circling Xu Li’s legs.

Accidentally being fed a mouthful of "dog food" by the couple.

Xu Li suddenly said, "Oh right, honey! There’s something else. You’ll find it incredible!"

"Oh? What is it that’s so incredible?"

"This afternoon, when I took Wang Cai for a walk outside, he found a ring in the green belt by the road. Let me show you!"

Xu Li spoke excitedly as she went to the living room, opened a small red jewelry box from a drawer, and brought it back to the dining table.

She opened the jewelry box to reveal a silver-white ring with a small diamond the size of a grain of rice set on it.

"Honey, do you think this ring is a real diamond ring or just a toy bought online?"

While speaking, Xu Li handed the diamond ring to Jiang Tao for him to check.

"It should be real, right?"

Jiang Tao might not know diamonds well, but he understood the value of Wang Cai’s [Wang Cai] attribute.

Wang Cai had never brought home junk before.
