Chapter 762: Chapter 564: No Need to Praise Two and Criticize One

Qingqing and Weiwei noticed their dad couldn’t stop praising Hanhan, and their competitive spirit was instantly ignited.

They exchanged a glance, as if to say, "We can’t fall behind either!"

Immediately, the two of them picked up dumpling wrappers, imitating Huang Jun’s precise movements, and earnestly started making dumplings.

In no time...

Two uniquely shaped dumplings appeared in their hands.

While they weren’t as perfectly shaped as Huang Jun’s, they were definitely on par with, if not better than, the ones made by Liu Ruihan...

"Daddy, look at the dumplings we made!"

Huang Jun examined them closely, a satisfied smile appearing on his face: "Really nice, for a first attempt to make them like this, that’s really great!"

Wen Xueqian also came over, carefully admiring the dumplings made by the little pair, full of praise: "Indeed, they’re really well-made, much better than your Uncle Liu’s."

Oh~

Wife...

No need to praise one at the expense of the other like that...

Liu Shiwei couldn’t help feeling a bit sour when he heard this.

But what could he do about it?

After all, she was telling the truth, he really wasn’t as good as the little ones...

So...

He secretly resolved to prove himself by making dumplings that would make both his wife and kids look at him anew.

So, he quietly picked up a dumpling wrapper and started over. Although he was a bit clumsy at first, and some dumplings even leaked filling, he didn’t get discouraged, but humbly asked Huang Jun for tips, continuously improving his method.

After a few attempts, Liu Shiwei’s skills noticeably improved.

The dumplings he wrapped not only appeared more uniform in shape, but the filling was also more evenly distributed.

Their overall appearance was impressive!

Huang Jun smiled and praised: "Not bad, Brother Liu, you’ve made great progress..."

"Of course, when I, Liu Shiwei, decide to do something, there’s nothing I can’t do well. Look at the dumplings I made, although not as good as yours, Brother Huang, they’re on par with those sold in stores..."

Liu Shiwei, full of confidence, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, as if the whole world was in his grasp.

But...

Boasting is fun for a while, but keep boasting and things take a turn.

Indeed.

His mind was no longer on the dumplings, resulting in dumplings that resembled little pigs—round and plump; worse yet, the skin was riddled with filling, resembling clowns dressed in flesh-colored outfits.

These dumplings would burst when cooked, and Wen Xueqian, witnessing this scene, found it both amusing and helpless, teasing: "Honey, later you should definitely eat more dumplings..."

Liu Shiwei didn’t sense the hidden meaning and thought Wen Xueqian was being caring, happily saying, "Honey, you want me to eat more dumplings later because you’re worried I’ll be hungry? Honestly though, I’m not hungry now!"

Wen Xueqian laughed even more brightly: "I wasn’t worried about you being hungry, that’s just what you assumed."

Liu Shiwei looked confused: "Then why do you want me to eat more?"

Wen Xueqian playfully pointed at the oddly shaped dumplings on the table: "Look at the dumplings you made, they’re quite a sight, do you expect others to help you finish them off? These are your creations; if you don’t finish them, enjoy them for dinner."

Liu Shiwei: "..."

"Fine, fine, I’ll eat them all myself, there!"

He chuckled and compromised, then suddenly switched the tone, pretending to be mysterious: "Honey, do you know why I intentionally made the dumplings look so ugly?"

Wen Xueqian casually replied: "Isn’t it just because you’re not skilled?"

Liu Shiwei quickly shook his head, slyly: "Not at all, this is my strategy to enjoy the delicacies all by myself."

If she didn’t know his nature, she might have believed his words...

But at this moment, only two words could express Wen Xueqian’s inner thoughts.

Ha ha...

I don’t believe you at all!
