Agares's eyes darkened slightly as he reached out and gripped her chin.

Jiang Si was forced to raise her head, blinked, and looked at him: "What's wrong, honey? Hmm~"

Agares leaned down and kissed her rosy lips, lingering and conquering her...

When Jiang Si was panting heavily and her lips were red, Agares released her, stroked her red lips with his thumb, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sweetie, I'll get off work on time at 4:30 and take you home!"

Jiang Si, her face flushed red, turned her head away, reached out and pushed him, urging him, "I know, I know, hurry up and get busy, you lazybones!"

A barely perceptible smile played on Agares' lips as he left his wife's place, sat down at his desk, and began to handle official business with a serious and earnest demeanor.

Jiang Si lay on the coffee table for a while until the blush on her face faded, then gave Agares, who was working, a pathetic, outwardly strong but inwardly weak glare.

As if sensing something, Agares looked at her with deep, unfathomable eyes, as if asking her what was wrong.

Jiang Si gave him a haughty snort, stood up, and bent down to move the huge coffee table to the French windows.

Agares watched her movements, then looked away and continued with his mountain of work.

Jiang Si sat down, clapped her hands, and started a live stream, showing her hands but not her face. She even slightly adjusted her voice and waved to the live stream audience: "Dear friends, good afternoon! I'm accompanying my husband to work today. It's so boring, so I'm going to make some candied hawthorns."

Viewers in the live stream asked: "What is candied hawthorn, and what are its raw materials?"

"Shall we have a raffle? Shall we have a raffle? My little Jiang Jiang, how about we start with a raffle?"

"No matter what candied hawthorn is, I firmly believe that anything made by Jiang Jiang is no ordinary product; it's incredibly delicious!"

"You guys don't care what candied hawthorn is, and I don't care what Jiang Jiang is up to. As long as she's live streaming and just sitting there chatting with me, that's fine."

"I'm chatting with you, but the person upstairs is up to something. Be careful, or I'll slap you against the wall and you won't be able to be pried off."

Jiang Si glanced at the comments in the live stream and continued, "First, the tools for making candied hawthorns are a pot, parchment paper, a tray, auxiliary materials, peeled tangerines, and strawberries with the stems removed."

"Big, red apples, oranges, peeled tangerines, grapes, green grapes, red grapes, cherry tomatoes, guava, cherry radishes, peeled lemons, and fragrant pears."

"The principle of candied hawthorn is that everything can be strung together. Anything you can think of or can't think of can be strung together into candied hawthorn, coated with a layer of sugar syrup, and waited for the sugar syrup to dry to become candied hawthorn."

In the live stream, many fans asked: "Jiang Jiang, your current office has a pretty good view. Are you a lieutenant general, major general, or brigadier general in the military?"

"Upstairs, upstairs, hurry up and watch Jiang Jiang make candied hawthorns. Who cares what her current boyfriend does, he's a big shot anyway."

Outside the live broadcast camera, Jiang Si conjured a fireball, covered it with a willow branch, placed the pot on the willow branch, and cooked white sugar and water until it became thick and stringy.

The candied hawthorns skewered with willow sticks were flipped over in the sticky sugar syrup and placed on a tray of parchment paper. Fifty of each type of fruit candied hawthorns were made with ginger shreds.

After all this was done, three hours had passed, and the coffee table in front of me, as well as the tray, were piled high with one exquisite candied hawthorn after another.

Jiang Si turned off the heat, put down the pot, and focused the live stream camera on the candied hawthorns she was making.

Strings of candied hawthorns were placed on trays, on coffee tables, and on the floor.

Jiang Si was completely surrounded by candied hawthorns. She smiled at the 1 billion people watching her live stream and said, "Okay, my dear friends, my candied hawthorns are finished. You can take a look. Now, let's do a lucky draw and select 10 people."

"Ten people, each of you will receive three kinds of candied hawthorns. I wish you all good luck, love you all, muah!"

Fans went wild: "Ahhh, Jiang Jiang, pick me! I don't want three kinds of candied hawthorns, I just want one kind."

"There are 10 people, and there are so many candied hawthorns on the table. How about we draw 100, one for each of us? We're not picky, as long as we have something to eat."

It's impossible to draw 100 winners, so Jiang Si reached out and clicked the lottery button, and 10 lucky winners appeared instantly.

She glanced at the prize and said, "Winners, please send me your address via private message. That concludes today's live stream. Thank you, dear viewers, goodbye!"

Fans: "..."

Why run so fast?

It felt like there were little brats chasing after us.

Can't we just chat for a bit?

Just chatting?

Cut the ginger into pieces, take out 10 transparent packaging boxes, and put three items into each box.

The 10 winning tickets have been packed up and ready!

For the rest, she took out a food storage container.

Fourteen different kinds of candied hawthorns were placed in fourteen food storage containers.

The biggest advantage of food storage containers is that even after three to five years, the taste of the food inside will remain the same.

After putting it away, Jiang Si stood up, ran to the restroom, and came out in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. She kicked her legs, twisted her waist, and stretched her stiff body.

Then I saw my cheap husband staring at the computer screen in front of him, looking calm, as if he was thinking or lost in thought.

Jiang Si's eyes darted around, and she took a peeled lemon coated in syrup, walked to Agares's desk, leaned on the desk, stretched out her arm, and held the lemon candied hawthorn to his mouth, her voice sweet and coquettish: "Honey, time for candied hawthorn!"

Agares, who was in a remote video conference, paused slightly, glanced at the peeled fruit that was brought to his mouth, resembling an orange or tangerine, his eyes flickered, and he slowly lowered his head and took a bite.

The sour taste of lemon instantly filled his mouth, Agares froze, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he swallowed the lemon candied hawthorn in his mouth.

Jiang Si watched his micro-expressions, like a cunning little fox, chattering happily: "Honey, honey, isn't it delicious? Isn't it delicious? Isn't it especially delicious?"

Agares picked up the water beside him, took a big gulp to wash away the sour taste in his mouth, looked at his smiling, cunning, and piercing little wife, swallowed hard, and reluctantly uttered two words: "Delicious!"

Jiang Si brought back the lemon candied hawthorn, opened her mouth and took a bite from the spot where Agares had bitten. The sour taste mixed with a hint of sweetness filled her mouth.

Jiang Si, as if nothing had happened, crunched a couple of times, swallowed, and, feeling unsatisfied, held up the lemon candied hawthorn to Agares again: "I think it's delicious too, husband, have another bite."

Agares: "..."

"Come on, come on!" Jiang Si was overjoyed to see him staring at the lemon he'd already taken two bites of, as if facing a formidable enemy. She transformed into a sweet, childlike girl, pleading, "Just one more bite, just one more bite, honey~~"

Agares looked at the peeled lemon, coated in sugar syrup, and with two bites already taken out of it. He swallowed hard, clenched his fist, coughed lightly, and said expressionlessly, "Jiang Jiang, I'm in a video conference. It'll be over in 15 minutes!"

videoconference?

Is he in a video conference?

Then they spoke...

Give him candied hawthorn...

Was it all broadcast live?

Ahhh!

Is this some kind of crazy thing to do?!

Jiang Si quickly withdrew the lemon candied hawthorn from her hand, her embarrassment so deep it could have carved a fairy castle with her toes: "You continue, you continue, I'm going out for some fresh air, I'm going out for some fresh air..."

As the lemon moved away from him, Agares breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief, and with a cold expression, hummed in agreement: "Go ahead."

Jiang Si straightened up, moved away from his desk, quickly finished the lemon candied hawthorn in her hand, and then left his office like a dog being chased.

The moment the door closed, Agares picked up his water glass again, took a big gulp, and said to his subordinates from various legions in the video, "I'm sorry everyone, my wife is a little young and likes to be clingy. I apologize for taking up your time!"

In the video, the bigwigs from the ten legions all exclaimed: "!!!!"

Is this an apology?

Isn't this just dog food?

Isn't this showing off?

What do you mean by "my wife is young"?

What do you mean by my wife being clingy?

Don't take advantage of them by thinking they don't know that video conferences can be unilaterally paused or blocked.

The marshal not only didn't block it, but also played the sound from his side, deliberately pressing their heads down and forcing them into the dog bowls to eat dog food.

"Ahem!" Agares coughed expressionlessly. "Alright, I'll tell Madam to be more careful next time. Let's continue the meeting!"

In the video, the bigwigs from the ten legions all exclaimed: "!!!!"

Be careful next time?

Did he say something similar before?

Did you notice?

No, he didn't notice.

He still forced them to eat dog food today!

Showing off his wife!

Wife slave, wife slave, wife slave.

As expected, the emotionless killer turned into a wife-flaunting maniac, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know he had a wife.

A door slams shut!

The secretaries outside immediately looked up, and upon seeing it was Madam, they stood up abruptly and said in unison, "Good afternoon, Madam!"

Jiang Si was startled by the loud voices, patted her chest and walked over, taking out a bunch of bright red candied hawthorn berries: "Good afternoon, everyone, come on, have some candied hawthorn berries, have some candied hawthorn berries."

There were 50 candied hawthorns, and 30 secretaries outside each took one, saying in a loud voice, "Thank you, Madam, thank you, Madam."

Jiang Si waved her hand: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. I won't keep you from working. I'll go wander around somewhere else."

One of the bolder people called out to Jiang Si, "Madam!"

Jiang Si stopped turning around and looked at the person who had called her: "Yes, what's wrong?"

The bold man who called out to her immediately bowed to her: "Madam, we have something to ask you!"

Ask her if you need anything?

Can I ask her about matters concerning the military?

She's a complete loser.

They know absolutely nothing about what's going on in the military.

Did they ask the wrong person?

Jiang Si remained standing still: "What is it, you ask?"

The bold man who called out to her exchanged glances with the others, steeled his heart, and said, "Madam, you are a super internet celebrity, General Bo Jichen's daughter, Jiang Jiang Baby. You once said online that your ex was from the Hunter Legion."

"Now that your current husband is our marshal, we are tempted to know if you ousted the former princess, became a mistress, and coerced the marshal into registering your marriage, making him your current husband?"
