"Sorry to trouble you, Boss Jiang."

Just then, Jiang Tongtong came out carrying a bowl of nutritious congee.

"Auntie, have some congee. Daddy made it."

"Oh, you little darling! Here, let Auntie take it. We wouldn’t want you to fall!"

"Boss Jiang’s daughter is so pretty. The more I look at her, the cuter she gets!"

"Have you guys noticed? Tongtong sounds just like Mengmeng when she talks. They both have that same, slightly deliberate and very earnest tone. It’s adorable!"

The frosty expression on Jun Qingmeng’s face thawed considerably.

She didn’t much like interacting with people from the Jing Circle.

Especially these women, who started flirting with her husband the moment they arrived. In the past, she would have lost her temper long ago.

At the same time, Jun Qingmeng felt a little thrill of sweetness.

Jiang Liu didn’t know her history with these women, but his politeness and warmth proved he valued his relationship with her. He was taking the initiative to build a good rapport with the people she knew.

Jiang Liu was working in the kitchen.

Jun Qingmeng watched Tongtong.

Xiao Han and the others, meanwhile, rummaged through their purses, pulling out all sorts of fun little figurines and plush dolls to dangle in front of Tongtong.

"Hey, little cutie, do you like this Pleasant Goat plushie? If you do, Auntie will give it to you!"

"I don’t like it!" ’She wanted it, but Daddy said that girls shouldn’t just accept gifts from anyone.’

"Haha, this kid’s got character!"

"Well then, little cutie, what do you want? Auntie will buy it for you!"

"Does your dad want anything? Auntie can buy something for him, too, you know."

Xiao Han and the other women absolutely adored the little cutie before them.

Even though Jiang Liu and Tongtong had already been snatched away by a certain bandit.

But that didn’t affect their desire to spend money on Jiang Liu and Tongtong in the slightest.

Spending money on them just felt right!

It was much better than spending it on celebrities.

Boss Jiang was so much more attractive than those pretty-boy celebrities!

Jun Qingmeng was not happy. She slapped the table. "Stop, stop, stop! What’s this little drama you’re all putting on? If my husband wants something, I’ll buy it for him. If my daughter wants something, I, her mother, will buy it for her!"

Her voice was cold yet melodious, possessing the icy authority of a female president and the alluring softness of a powerful, mature woman.

Yang Zishan and the others immediately sat up straight, looking perfectly behaved.

’Fine, if she doesn’t want us to buy them anything, we won’t!’

They had discovered a new secret.

So the renowned President Jun of Jing City was this territorial about her husband, huh?

’Interesting.’

In the kitchen, a strange expression appeared on Jiang Liu’s face.

’So his wife’s voice had a side like this, too. In front of him, she was always so shy and sweet.’

Jiang Tongtong piped up earnestly, "Thank you, Aunties. If Tongtong likes something, Mommy and Daddy will buy it for me. If Daddy likes something, Tongtong and Mommy will buy it for him!"

"Mommy and Daddy love Tongtong so, so much. And Tongtong and Mommy love Daddy super, super much, too."

Jun Qingmeng smiled, squatting down and opening her arms.

Tongtong immediately understood and threw herself into Jun Qingmeng’s arms.

The two of them rubbed their cheeks together affectionately.

This heartwarming scene made the trio incredibly envious.

"Sister Jun, did you save the world in a past life? Finding such an amazing husband, and he even comes with a cute daughter as a bonus! You’re making the rest of us want to just give up."

"If I had such a kawaii daughter, I’d definitely throw my husband away and just hug and kiss my daughter all day. I’d buy her whatever she wanted!"

"Sigh, ever since I stepped into this restaurant, I’m not myself anymore."

"Let’s not talk about it. Let’s have some of this congee to calm our nerves."

The three of them picked up the rice congee and took a sip.

Their eyes immediately widened.

Wait, what the heck, there’s shrimp meat in this congee?

And the shrimp was the same kind used in the shrimp buns—crisp, tender, and smooth.

It was savory and aromatic in their mouths!

"I can’t believe Boss Jiang’s congee is this good too. I saw the aunties drinking it at noon, why didn’t I buy a bowl to try!"

"It really is delicious. The key is the shrimp. This shrimp is really something special."

"Yeah, it’s so crisp and tender, and the shrimp is incredibly fragrant."

After a little while.

The savory smell of meat wafted out from the kitchen.

Xiao Han and the other two couldn’t help but gulp.

The aroma was a mix of beef, potatoes, and the wheaty fragrance of steamed buns...

Jun Qingmeng, holding Tongtong who was playing on a phone in her lap, glanced at the time and said, "The buns should be about ready. Grab some plates and go get them from the kitchen yourselves."

"You got it, Sister Jun!"

The trio meekly got up, grabbed plates, went to the kitchen, and came back out with the buns.

Jiang Liu had also made them a plate of bright green smashed cucumbers.

It was sprinkled with finely chopped red chilies—spicy and refreshing!

"Holy crap, this smashed cucumber salad is incredible! I can smell a hint of sesame oil. Perfect!"

"It’s even better with the buns. Take a bite of a bun, then a piece of cucumber... Mmm, your mouth fills with savory, aromatic flavors, and then you wash it down with a sip of congee."

"If I wasn’t already eating, you’d be making my mouth water!"

"I’m done for, what do I do if I don’t want to leave? Sister Jun, do you need a dishwasher here?"

Jun Qingmeng replied expressionlessly, "No."

"Boo hoo... Why did I have to eat such delicious buns? What am I going to do now!"

"Sister Jun, how are you not fat? I feel like if I ate with Brother Jiang every day, I’d definitely turn into a little fatty!"

They usually didn’t eat much, strictly managing their figures.

But now they couldn’t care less about any diet plan, downing meat bun after meat bun, followed by a delicious sip of shrimp congee.

Jun Qingmeng didn’t say anything.

The women frantically chowed down, abandoning their chopsticks and using their hands.

Eat!

Eat with gusto!

Eating slowly would be a sign of disrespect to this top-tier cuisine!

"Shanshan! I didn’t realize your stomach could hold so much!"

"F*ck! Slow down, leave a shrimp bun for me!" Rui Ning’s mouth was stuffed with a bun, another was in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on the last shrimp bun.

"Aren’t you supposed to be on a diet?"

"To hell with dieting, I’m not doing it anymore!"

Usually, they were very reserved when they ate. Their families weren’t short on money, so there was nothing they particularly craved. When they ate together, it was usually just to taste things.

They had a great relationship, too.

But Jiang Liu’s buns had directly turned their iron-clad sisterhood into a plastic friendship.

They almost started fighting!

The drivers who had come with them only ate two buns each before they didn’t dare to eat anymore.

Didn’t you see the murderous look their young mistresses were giving them?

’Go ahead and eat if you’re not afraid. I, for one, would like to keep my job.’

"This Three-Delicacy Bun is divine! It must be made with three of the best ingredients. It really lives up to its name—truly savory and delicious!"

Just as they were feasting.

Jiang Liu announced he was open for business.

Customers rushed in, their eyes red with anticipation.

"I’ve been lining up for three days, I finally f*cking get to eat here for once! Brother Jiang, one order of ham, fifteen buns, and a bottle of draft beer!"

"I’ll have five shrimp buns, five fennel, and five pork and scallion." Yu Qingzheng gritted his teeth, "And an order of tuna!"

He didn’t have many years left to live anyway; he planned to spend all his money here at Jiang Liu’s place.

When the money’s gone, he’ll sell his house and his car!

He didn’t care.

"Boss Jiang, anything new on the menu today? When are you going to have something new? The suspense is killing me."

"Not today," Jiang Liu replied casually.

The one who asked was also a regular customer, the owner of a convenience store three kilometers away.

"Alright then, I’ll stick with the beef. And a takeout box, please, I’ll take the broth home to mix with rice! Honestly, your yak beef is so authentic. The potatoes and mushrooms are delicious too."
