Chapter 2985: Always a Perfect Score

Doudou hugged her tightly, "I also love Mom. Mom, you haven’t come to see me for a long time."

Li Mingxi laughed, "I told you, you should call me godmother."

"No!" Doudou pouted.

Li Mingxi helplessly pinched his nose, "You have your own mom, don’t get mixed up, honey. Your mom might kill me."

Doudou was puzzled, "Then where is Mom?"

Li Mingxi realized she misspoke and quickly changed the subject, preventing Doudou from asking further.

After dinner, Li Mingxi parted ways with them.

Now Doudou can be with Li Qian every day, and Li Mingxi was happy for him; her mood was quite good.

Actually, she had wanted to tell Li Qian earlier to be bold and make Doudou’s situation public.

But Li Qian had his concerns, so she didn’t dare to say.

Now Li Qian said it, everything’s good.

...

Feeling good, Li Mingxi passed by a florist and bought a bouquet of blue roses, planning to put them in a vase at home.

She picked several roses, paid for them, and drove home.

Recently, Li Mingxi has been trying to learn how to cook one or two dishes; she can cook quite a few dishes now.

Having nothing to do at home, upon arriving home, Li Mingxi first found a vase, arranged the roses, and put them in the bedroom.

After changing clothes, she went to the kitchen, deciding to prepare a few dishes to have when Xiao Lang returns.

With plenty of time before Xiao Lang finished work, Li Mingxi first started making bone soup, which needs to be simmered slowly over low heat for several hours for best results.

While the bone soup was simmering, she prepared other dishes she wanted to cook.

With the fish already cleaned, it needed to be marinated with various spices first.

Then Li Mingxi went to chop fillings and make dough, considering making dumplings...

Li Mingxi was alone in the kitchen, busily but leisurely working.

Successfully, she finished cooking right before Xiao Lang returned and set the dishes on the table.

Xiao Lang always returned home on time every day. As he opened the door, he smelled the aroma. Xiao Lang smiled, knowing Li Mingxi was cooking again.

He changed his shoes, casually tossed the briefcase onto the sofa, and headed to the dining room.

Seeing the table full of dishes, his eyes filled with warmth.

Li Mingxi heard the door open and knew he was home.

She came out of the kitchen and waved at him, "Go wash your hands and sit down, dinner is ready!"

"Honey, you’re getting more and more capable," Xiao Lang praised her.

Li Mingxi proudly raised her eyebrow, "Indeed!"

Laughing, she dashed into the kitchen to bring out the freshly-cooked dumplings.

Xiao Lang helped to fetch chopsticks while the two sat down together, Li Mingxi claiming credit, "I spent the whole afternoon cooking these dishes. I tasted every single one. They must be delicious."

Xiao Lang turned his head and kissed her lips, "The food you cook is always the most delicious to me."

Li Mingxi smiled sweetly, "Such smooth talk!"

She placed a piece of fish into his bowl, "Try it. See if it tastes different from last time."

The fish Li Mingxi bought basically had no small bones, so there was no worry about choking on bones while eating.

Xiao Lang took a bite and couldn’t help but praise it, "So delicious. Last time the fish was a 10, but this time I’ll give you two extra points, 12."

"What’s the highest score?"

"10."

Li Mingxi laughed heartily, "You really think highly of me."

"Of course, the dishes my wife makes always deserve full marks."

"A peddler praising their own wares..." Li Mingxi said, but her face was sporting a sweet smile.
