Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Here, As Always, You Cook, I Shell

After Xi Wei went out, she went straight to the kitchen.

Li Mingmo’s favorite food is crab, so she could only cater to his tastes first and hope he gradually calms down.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, are there any fresh crabs?" Xi Wei asked.

"Of course there are."

At Snowfield Manor, the food is delivered daily with the freshest ingredients—fish, shrimp, crabs—everything of the best and top quality.

Sister-in-law Zhang said, "Miss Yiyi, do you want some crabs? How many do you want? I’ll cook them for you!"

Xi Wei shook her head, "It’s not for me to eat.

I’m making it for Li Mingmo. He likes crabs. I just made him angry and want to make crabs to apologize."

"Is that so..." Sister-in-law Zhang said, "Then I’ll leave the kitchen to you. If Colonel Lie eats the crabs you made by hand, he’ll definitely be all smiles in no time. But be careful, crabs aren’t easy to handle."

"Hmm..." Xi Wei was already rolling up her sleeves and started grabbing the crabs while she spoke.

...

Two hours later, Xi Wei carried a plate of her fragrant steamed crabs and gently pushed the door open into Li Mingmo’s room.

Initially, when Xi Wei went out, she didn’t come back to see him, so Li Mingmo was still quietly sulking. But then his nose picked up the scent of his favorite crabs.

Moreover, just a sniff told him they were made by Xi Wei, and his gloomy mood instantly vanished.

However, he had to keep up the act...

So, Li Mingmo continued lying on the bed, giving Xi Wei his back.

Yet, Xi Wei didn’t get discouraged; she carried the fragrant large crabs and waved them in front of Li Mingmo.

Li Mingmo grasped the bedhead tightly, secretly swallowing his saliva.

Telling himself over and over, hold it in, hold it in, hold it in.

It’s just a few large crabs, right?

It’s just that the aroma makes your mouth water, right?

It’s just that Xi Wei made them with her own hands, right?

What’s the big deal?

He... doesn’t care...

But they really do smell so good!

Li Mingmo felt like all the gluttonous bugs inside him were suddenly revived.

"Li Mingmo, these are the world’s most expensive and best kind of crabs, you know. Everything in Ji Hanyu’s house is the best.

Li Mingmo, these crabs smell so good. The meat is succulent, fresh, and the crab roe is simply unmatched... Ah, I can’t handle it. If you don’t eat, I’ll start eating. My mouth is already watering."

Li Mingmo swallowed hard again.

That Xi Wei, she really chose to poison him late at night, and with his favorite, no less.

Seeing that Li Mingmo ignored her, Xi Wei wasn’t in a hurry. She sat at the dining table next to him, holding the crabs.

"Li Mingmo, I’m going to start eating. Are you really not going to eat? I made them especially for you.

If you don’t eat, then I’ll eat them. You said it yourself, wasting food will incur divine retribution."

Xi Wei picked up a large crab and was about to start when the next second, the crab in her hand suddenly disappeared.

Xi Wei secretly smiled; she knew it would happen.

"How many times do I have to tell you, large crabs aren’t meant to be eaten like that. You’re just tearing them apart randomly; you’ll miss the meat in many good spots." Li Mingmo feigned a cold demeanor sitting across from Xi Wei, his hands already skillfully disassembling the crab shell.

Li Mingmo very quickly and deftly extracted the crab meat and placed it on the plate in front of Xi Wei, "As usual, you cook the crabs, and I shell the meat."
