The Superior Female Lead Pampers Her Husband Without Limit

She still didn't know what kind of snacks her little husband liked. But in the past few days, aside from regular meals, she hadn't had a chance to buy him any treats. She planned to bring some back for him when they returned.

"Xavi, try this and see if you like it."

Jewel wanted to share the snacks she liked with her little husband. If he didn't enjoy sweet food, she'd just buy him something else next time.

As Xavi accepted the treat from his wife, the whole carriage was filled with the warm, sweet smell of roasted chestnuts.

From childhood till now, he had never experienced a moment like this—riding in a beautiful carriage, with nothing to worry about, holding two big bags of snacks, and enjoying the busy street view.

He had food, comfort, and happiness.

Jewel stopped the carriage by the road and climbed inside. "Why aren't you eating? Is it too hot?"

She picked up a few chestnuts and began peeling them. They were roasted perfectly—the shell came off easily, and the golden, soft chestnut inside looked delicious.

Jewel placed a few peeled chestnuts in Xavi's hand and motioned for him to try.

"Do you like it?"

"Mmm… it's really good."

Xavi smiled sweetly, his eyes curving happily.

Sweet and tasty—plus, his wife had peeled them for him herself!

"Then eat more. It's all for you."

Seeing her little husband enjoying what she liked made Jewel even happier.

But as she watched him eat nonstop, she suddenly felt like she was raising a child…

Well, that was fine too. Her little husband was only 18 years old after all—basically still a kid.

"Take your time eating. I'll go drive the carriage."

Eat more, gain a little weight. Jewel gently wiped the bit of chestnut skin from the corner of his mouth, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Okay."

Xavi blushed a little and nodded obediently.

Soon, the carriage moved slowly down the street again. Following the path she remembered, Jewel reached the street where she had been last time. At the end of it, she could already see the small three-story building in the distance.

She slowed down and looked at the eye-catching shop.

It was located in a busy market center, in a prime area;

From there, it was easy to reach any part of the town. It was convenient for both customers and deliveries;

There were many wealthy or well-off families in Zhong'an Town, meaning there was a big market;

Most of the local restaurants were small and scattered. If she opened a large-scale restaurant, it would be the only one of its kind in town—little competition.

The shop was a redwood pavilion-style building. Though dusty, its elegant interior still showed through. It looked worn on the outside, but inside, it was a hidden gem.

Jewel thought if the price was affordable, she absolutely couldn't miss this opportunity. There wouldn't be another chance if she passed it up.

After asking around and a bit of running around, Jewel and her husband finally found the home of the Wang family—an impressive household in town—to talk about renting the shop.

Inside the Wang family's study—

"Miss Jewel, I must remind you: starting such a big business isn't easy. The people who rented this shop before all lost money… Are you sure you still want to rent it?"

The Wang lady looked at her with some hesitation.

Their ancestral property had gone bankrupt due to a lack of funds, so they started renting out the building to earn some money.

At first, a few people had rented it, but the shop was too big, and the rent was high. One by one, the tenants lost money. Eventually, no one tried again.

Rumors even started saying the Wang family was unlucky—that whoever rented the place would have bad luck, which damaged their reputation. Since then, no one had rented it.

She thought this big shop would never be used again, just for storing things like tables and chairs. But now, a determined young lady wanted to rent the entire three-story building along with the backyard.

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Wang. I'm aware of the risks."

Jewel never fought a battle unprepared. Besides, she knew the restaurant business well and already had a clear plan for the future.

In her past life, she managed multiple companies and handled all kinds of emergencies. Starting from scratch again now was no big deal. She wasn't nervous at all.

Even though there was always a chance of failure, Jewel had strong confidence in herself.

Starting is always the hardest part. Though she was only opening a restaurant now, it was the foundation for future business growth. She couldn't rush it. She still needed to do more market research to understand the town's supply and demand situation in the food industry and adjust accordingly.

"Well then, I won't charge you too much for rent."

Miss Wang was mainly worried that if Jewel lost too much money, she might come back and cause trouble like the previous tenants—blaming her for setting them up.

Honestly, she never meant to cheat anyone. The rent was high, yes, but it matched the property's value. Even her own family had lost money with it before.

"Just pay whatever you think is fair. Half a tael of silver per month is enough."

Originally, the rent was 12 taels per quarter, but now she offered it at half the price. For Jewel, this was a great deal.

Right now, Miss Wang didn't care about the rent anymore. Her family wasn't short on money. As long as the tenant could run the place well and stop people from calling her home cursed, that would be enough.

"I'll rent it for a quarter first."

Jewel agreed without hesitation.

She still had plenty of valuable items in her space to exchange for money, so funds weren't a problem. If needed, she could get silver anytime.

Half a tael per month meant just 6 taels for three months—very affordable for her current situation.

Before coming to the Wang family, she had already checked the prices of other shops on the street. Since this was a busy town, even the smaller shops had similar rent.

Normally, a three-story building like this should cost over 10 taels per quarter, so she didn't expect such a low price from the Wang family.

A great location and a large space—if it had remained empty for so long, it was likely because others lacked experience, market understanding, or enough funds to run a big business. No wonder they failed.

But she was different. She had her secret space for money, plus years of hands-on business experience from her past life. Most of the problems others feared were no problem for her.

"You're really straightforward, Miss Jewel."

The Wang lady became quite curious about this Jewel. Her clothes looked plain, like a farmer's daughter.

But she had broad vision and strong confidence, and she handled things calmly and professionally—not like someone who only knew how to work the fields.
