The Superior Female Lead Pampers Her Husband Without Limit

"When did you learn how to cook, Jewel?"

"And your cooking is even better than mine!"

"Dad, remember how I used to go out drinking all the time? Actually, I wasn't just drinking. I secretly learned how to cook from a really good chef at a restaurant."

Jewel couldn't explain that she had traveled from another world, nor could she mention anything about getting a cooking certificate. But she did know that the original owner used to hang around gambling dens and often didn't come home, so she used that as an excuse.

"No wonder! I was wondering how you got so good at it."

Her father was clearly proud. If his daughter had such good cooking skills, even if life got hard, she could always work at a restaurant and make enough to feed the whole family.

"Dad, I actually wanted to talk to you about this. I'm thinking of opening a restaurant."

She had noticed there weren't many restaurants in town, so she didn't feel too pressured about competition. Plus, if the business grew, it could create jobs and even boost the local economy a bit.

She remembered when she and Xavi were walking through town and had nowhere decent to sit down for lunch. They had to eat some snacks from a street vendor in the carriage.

She also remembered a three-story building that was for sale, right next to where their carriage had stopped. But it was empty and covered in dust. It looked like no one dared to buy such a big property. If it lost money, that'd be a huge loss.

She thought she'd go back and take a closer look, maybe even do a little research and figure out its value.

"A restaurant? That's going to cost a lot. Do we even have that kind of money?"

Her father had never dreamed of doing such a big business.

"Dad, I saw a place I really liked last time I went into town. I want to go back tomorrow and take a better look. As for the money, don't worry. I've already got a plan."

"Then take Xavi with you. Two people can plan better than one."

"Dad… about that…" Jewel sighed, "It's my fault. On the way back from visiting his family today, we ran into some guys I used to gamble with…"

She changed the story a bit and said Xavi got hurt protecting her. She even made his injuries sound worse than they were. As expected, her father was heartbroken. He almost hit her!

"What!"

"Xavi's already so delicate. How could you let him get hurt like that?"

He was really upset. Who gets beaten up just a few days after getting married? People might think they were mistreating their son-in-law!

"I'm sorry, Dad! I promise I'll never let it happen again!"

She quickly apologized and waited for him to say more.

"You! What am I going to do with you!"

After scolding his daughter, he added, "Don't let him do anything for the next few days. I'll take care of all the housework. You better not let him lift a finger!"

Once Jewel nodded, he went straight into the room to check on his son-in-law.

Jewel smiled secretly. If she had just asked her dad to do all the chores for Xavi, he might've done it, but he'd also probably start to resent Xavi a bit.

But if it was his own idea, he'd feel proud of it, and it would help them get along better.

Plus, with her dad saying it himself, Xavi wouldn't feel guilty or pressured.

When her father entered the room, he saw Xavi lying on the bed, looking weak and tired, slowly trying to sit up.

"Father-in-law, you're back."

Xavi looked at him like a nervous child, afraid of upsetting him.

"Good boy, lie down and rest!"

Seeing Xavi's elbow all wrapped up and how slowly he moved, her father felt terrible for him. "Xavi, does it still hurt?"

"I'm okay, Father-in-law. It doesn't really hurt."

Seeing how much he cared, Xavi smiled a little.

"You just rest. I'll take care of everything else in the house."

With his arm all wrapped up like that, it must hurt to move—how could they expect him to do chores?

"I really can do things. I feel fine, I promise."

He didn't think he was that badly hurt. The medicine was working, and Jewel had just wrapped him up too tightly, so it looked worse than it was.

"Just focus on getting better! That's all you need to do!" her father said firmly.

See? This was his son-in-law—so obedient, so thoughtful!

He had protected his wife in front of so many women, took all those punches for her, came home covered in bruises, and still offered to help around the house.

He was sure—there was no better son-in-law in the whole world!

Now that things were going well, he was going to cook more delicious meals and fatten the poor boy up a little.

"Thank you, Father-in-law."

Xavi could see how serious he was about letting him rest. He didn't want to disappoint him, so he agreed.

Meanwhile, Jewel was secretly eavesdropping by the window and smiling.

Perfect—everything was going exactly how she wanted. Her father and husband were getting along better, and even if she was away from home, she could feel more at ease.

She quietly walked to the kitchen, made no noise, and carried out the dishes like normal. Then she opened the door and entered the room.

"Dad, since Xavi can't move much, let's all eat by the bed."

She brought over the food she made and set a small table by the bed.

Her dad had just heard about her restaurant idea, so she made dinner to show her skills.

Now that the meal was done, she brought it to Xavi's bedside. She sat with him and even invited her father to join. They placed all the best dishes near Xavi, gave him extra portions, and kept filling his bowl…

Was there any husband in the world who got treated this well?

He'd never seen or heard of such a thing.

So this is what it felt like to be loved by people who weren't even related to you by blood.

His father-in-law and wife spoiled him so much—he felt incredibly lucky to have married into this family…

Watching how much they cared for him, Xavi had to try hard not to cry.

After dinner, her father went to his room to rest, leaving Jewel and Xavi alone in their room.
