The Superior Female Lead Pampers Her Husband Without Limit

The group of servants consisted of eight women and two men. The women were all smart and were chosen to work as junior attendants in the restaurant.

As for the two men, one was a middle-aged husband and the other a young boy. They were slaves.

The man's surname was Bai. When Jewel saw how pitiful they looked, she decided to buy both of them along with the others.

The man turned out to be a great cook. On regular days, he would be in charge of the kitchen and help with some house chores too.

This way, Jewel's parents and husband would have an extra hand and wouldn't have to tire themselves out every day with cooking and housework.

The restaurant Jewel opened was right in the center of the bustling Dongshun Street. She struggled for a long time trying to decide between two names: "Yanxi Restaurant" and "Fandong Restaurant."

"Yanxi Restaurant" came from combining the last characters of her and Xavi's names.

"Fandong Restaurant" was named after the street it was on—Dongshun Street—and the east side of town, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune.

In the end, she chose "Yanxi" because wealth wasn't her main goal in this new life. All she wanted was happiness. She didn't want to spend her life compromising for business like she did in her past life.

To her, the most important thing was that the name made her husband happy. If Xavi smiled, she was happy too.

Jewel still remembered the day she and her delicate husband went to order the restaurant's signboard. The craftsman asked out of curiosity, "This name is quite unique—does it have any special meaning?"

She smiled and answered, "It's made from my name and my husband's."

The cheerful craftsman clapped his hands and laughed, "So that's why! Boss Jewel and her husband are truly deeply in love!"

She clearly remembered how her shy little husband standing quietly beside her blushed deeply at that moment.

After they left the shop that day, her usually gentle husband actually pinched her arm playfully a few times—something totally out of character for him. She couldn't stop laughing.

Of course, his pinches didn't hurt at all. He didn't have the heart to be rough with her. Afterward, the two of them playfully teased each other all the way down the street.

The signboard was made quickly and now hung securely above the main entrance of the restaurant.

Every time Jewel passed through the doors and saw the elegant characters of "Yanxi Restaurant" on the sign—especially the character "Xi"—she would think of her husband's shy expression that day, and she couldn't help but smile.

Whenever this happened, the junior attendants working in the restaurant would exchange glances and whisper among themselves, teasing about how affectionate their boss and her husband were. They'd laugh secretly when Jewel wasn't looking.

Eventually, the staff got friendly with the regular customers. People often asked about the restaurant's interesting name.

Customers would ask, "The name Yanxi is so unique! The person who came up with it must be really well-read."

Or, "Excuse me, Miss, which poem or book does this name come from?"

Whenever someone asked, the attendants would burst out laughing, making the customers even more curious.

Over time, everyone in Chong'an Town knew:

The most popular restaurant in town was called "Yanxi Restaurant," and the owner treated her husband as an equal and cherished him deeply.

People who heard the story would often say, "True love still exists among ordinary people."

But that's another story.

For now, Jewel used the free time she had recently to train her first group of employees.

She started by choosing three women who had talent in cooking and trained them in secret to become the restaurant's main chefs.

The remaining five, who were good at interacting with people, became the restaurant's attendants—greeting customers and serving food.

To make it easier to call them, Jewel simply ranked them by age and gave them nicknames: Big Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, and so on up to Eighth Sister.

By the time Xavia arrived, everything in the restaurant was set up except for the main manager.

Jewel thought, if her sister didn't want to stay long-term, she would ask for advice and learn the ancient bookkeeping methods herself.

But if her sister was willing to stay, then she'd let her handle all the finances. They'd figure it out when the time came.

Behind the upper floor of Yanxi Restaurant was a big courtyard.

Jewel planned to fence off an area there as a place for customers to park their carriages—a "parking lot."

The row of houses along the yard was turned into "staff dormitories." She prepared a room with a cozy double bed for herself and Xavi.

She also left several extra rooms, just in case they needed them in the future.

One evening, while she was alone in the backyard, Jewel locked the door of her room and entered her secret space. Sitting at her desk, she turned on her computer and carefully worked on all kinds of plans.

Pre-opening promotions, opening-day strategies, and long-term management plans—all listed and well-prepared.

For many days in a row, Jewel was so busy that she barely had time to go home except at night. Xavi didn't see her all day and felt lonely without her.

That day, Jewel came home late again after the sky had turned completely dark.

Xana had already gone to bed. Xavi was half-lying on the bed, working on a piece of cloth with a needle, sewing a small pouch. Before long, a little orchid leaf was neatly embroidered onto it.

Lately, every morning after breakfast, Jewel would leave to prepare for the restaurant and wouldn't return until evening. Xavi could only see his beloved wife after dark.

Although she hugged him every morning before leaving, he still couldn't help feeling uneasy during the day. His thoughts often wandered.

He didn't know what was wrong with him—when she wasn't home, he'd find himself spacing out a lot.

Like now. While sewing the pouch, he got distracted again and didn't even notice that he had sewn in the wrong place.

"Oh no! I messed it up again!"

Xavi was frustrated. He had been working on this pouch for several days now, hoping to give it to Jewel, but still hadn't finished it right.
