Gotta eat meat by the mouthful, quack!

There was a large supermarket serving the area around the villa.

Xu Wang walked into the supermarket and grabbed a huge shopping cart. Before coming, he had checked the fridge at home. It was a very large fridge with plenty of room inside.

Xu Wang headed straight for the snack section and started at one end of a shelf, taking one bag of every different snack he passed.

His actions left a child sitting in a nearby shopping cart utterly dumbfounded.

The child struggled to turn his chubby little body around and looked at the pitifully few snacks behind him that he had spent ages begging for, then looked at Xu Wang's nearly half-full cart. Finally, he could no longer help bursting into envious tears.

The two parents beside the cart stared at their little chubster in bewilderment.

The child desperately wanted to question his two dads, but at his age, he still could not speak clearly. By the time he turned back again, the man he envied had already vanished without a trace.

By then, Xu Wang had successfully amassed a whole cartful of snacks.

Xu Wang handed the cart to a nearby employee for safekeeping, then grabbed a fresh cart and headed for the raw meat section. After snacks, meat had to come next. A man had to eat meat by the mouthful!

He had to admit that a big supermarket had its advantages. It stocked just about every kind of meat.

Xu Wang looked at the fresh pork before him.

After packing up a jin of ribs for the customer ahead of him, the employee walked over with a smile.

"Sir, what would you like?"

"A whole rack of ribs, a whole hind leg, and five jin of premium pork belly." Xu Wang smiled as he stared at the meat before him.

The employee nodded in understanding and asked, "How would you like those prepared? Sliced, cubed, or ground?"

"No preparation. I'll take them whole." Xu Wang looked serious.

"No preparation? You don't need the ribs chopped into small pieces? Young man, buying this much and handling it yourself at home will take far too much work. Why not have the staff do it all for you with the machines?" Now, not only was the employee a little bewildered, but another customer in line also spoke up to advise Xu Wang.

"No need. I want to roast the whole rack together. Then if anyone wants some, they can just snap a rib off, right? That's the satisfying way to eat." As he spoke, Xu Wang mimed snapping off a rib, even making a cracking sound with his mouth.

The people around him silently covered their ribs at the sight. Why did it feel as though his gesture had suddenly made their own bodies hurt a little?

Seeing this, the employee said no more and asked a colleague to pack everything up.

Rather than stand around waiting, Xu Wang turned and took two enormous legs of lamb from the freezer beside him.

"Sir, let me carry those for you." Seeing Xu Wang, an omega, holding two enormous legs of lamb, the employee hurried forward to help.

Xu Wang waved him off and easily placed the legs of lamb into his cart with one hand, all by himself. Two were not enough, so he turned around and grabbed another, along with a chicken.

Watching him carry two legs of lamb so effortlessly in one hand, the employee could not help his pupils trembling.

Xu Wang had no idea how the employee felt at that moment. After making sure he had everything, he thanked the employee, turned, and left.

Xu Wang also bought some fruit, soda, yogurt, vegetables, eggs, and peeled shrimp before finally bringing his supermarket trip to an end.

Everything Xu Wang bought was delivered to his home by the supermarket's dedicated delivery service.

After returning to the villa, Xu Wang put all the meat in the freezer compartment. Perhaps he had bought a little too much meat, because it took every ounce of his strength to cram it all in. Once he was done, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xu Wang put the vegetables, yogurt, and similar items in the refrigerator compartment above.

Once everything was put away, Xu Wang made himself a simple bowl of noodles with a poached egg.

Xu Wang sat leisurely at the dining table, scrolling through his phone as he ate.

The production team for "The Newlyweds' Honeymoon Journey" had announced the filming format, schedule, and guest list.

The variety show would be livestreamed, and viewers who missed it could watch the recorded footage uploaded afterward.

The production team had really gone all out with its guest invitations this time.

There was not only the famous novelist Xia Yu and his husband and childhood sweetheart, Hou Yunqi, but also Gu Yunlan, who had won Best Actor three times in a row, and his husband, the famous talent manager Qin Huai.

There were also the second-tier celebrity Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan, the eldest son of the wealthy Leng Family.

Finally, one more pair of highly mysterious guests had joined at the last minute.

As soon as the news came out, comments flooded the production team's official account.

[Holy crap, this show's lineup is stacked!]

[The literary world, the entertainment industry, wealthy families-everything I'm interested in.]

[Mystery guests, too? They're being so secretive. I'm looking forward to it already.]

[Finally, we get to see our Best Actor on-screen again. Sure, he'll still be showing off his relationship this time, but that's better than doing it without showing his face, right? (kitten pointing accusingly)]

[Ranran Baby actually got married? No!!!]

Within just one hour, the number of people who had signed up for the livestream reached a million.

Of course, at least thirty thousand of them were Pei Corporation employees. Before leaving work, they had all received wedding candy from their boss and had even been allowed to leave early for once. They were simply far too curious about just what divine being had melted their iceberg of a big boss.

After the wedding candy Pei Yanchuan had ordered was handed out, ten portions remained, so he brought them straight home.

By the time Pei Yanchuan arrived home, Xu Wang had already made dinner.

Still in his suit, Pei Yanchuan stood dazedly in the entryway. The aroma of dishes and rice from the kitchen filled the entire living room.

Pei Yanchuan had never imagined he could have such a warm scene before him. He was already used to coming home from work every day to a cold house and cold rooms, quickly making do with a cup of coffee for dinner before continuing to work.

Xu Wang had heard Pei Yanchuan return while he was still in the kitchen.

But by the time Xu Wang had brought out all the food, there was suddenly no sound from him anymore. Puzzled, Xu Wang poked his head out to look toward the entryway.

With that glance, he spotted one big pitiful soul.

"Hubby? Why aren't you coming in?"

Hearing Xu Wang's voice, Pei Yanchuan abruptly raised his head. Xu Wang was looking at him with concern on his face.

"Coming." The moment Pei Yanchuan saw Xu Wang, a gentle expression appeared on his face.

The two sat at the dining table.

"Give it a try. I went grocery shopping today and bought some ingredients. The fruit's all in the fridge." Xu Wang placed a large piece of pork belly on Pei Yanchuan's plate.

The whole piece of meat had been braised until extremely tender. It wobbled on the plate as though it might topple over at any moment.

Xu Wang remembered that the book had briefly mentioned Pei Yanchuan liking sweet things as a child, so he had deliberately made the meat a little sweeter today.

Pei Yanchuan did not eat right away. Instead, he first served Xu Wang a piece before beginning his meal.

This meal made Pei Yanchuan feel stuffed for the first time in his life.

After dinner, Pei Yanchuan took the initiative to clear away the dishes and chopsticks.

Once he had finished cleaning up, Pei Yanchuan looked at Xu Wang lying on the sofa as he digested his meal, then turned and opened the fridge, intending to get some fruit to make him a glass of juice.

As soon as Pei Yanchuan opened the fridge, he saw the neatly arranged vegetables, fruit, and eggs. Looking at the somewhat empty fridge, he began to think that next time, he should take time off to accompany Xu Wang to the supermarket so they could buy a little more.
