My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts

Chapter 484 - 164 Dong’an Chicken

Rob sat obediently beside Chen Yin, listening to Chen Yin’s heartfelt words, and the usually very keen mecha’s mind suddenly became a bit confused.

He felt that human emotions have always been an incomprehensible existence, joy and sorrow, partings and reunions, something it, as a mecha, longed for but could never possess.

"Master, is it really worth it to be so heartbroken over a mere momentary infatuation?" Rob tilted his head, his human-like eyes fixed intently on Chen Yin. This secretly heartbroken look of Chen Yin was something Rob had never seen before.

It was trying hard to console Chen Yin.

Because it didn’t want its master to be sad.

Chen Yin raised his thick eyebrows. This person, worshiped by countless people as the Blue Star Empire’s Majesty, lazily stretched and leaned trustingly against Rob, speaking softly, "Is it worth it? It’s the only time in my more than a hundred years that I’ve felt a flutter of the heart. Do you think it’s worth it?"

The autumn breeze still carried a hint of summer’s heat, but tonight there was clearly no wind, and no clouds in the sky, yet Chen Yin’s heart was heavy and cool.

***

Chen Yin lamented quietly for nearly a whole night, but on Ke Family’s side, everything was calm. Although Du Xixi and Ke Lian noticed Chen Yin’s little dilemma, they tactfully did not bring it up, carrying on as usual.

The temperature on the autumn morning was a bit low. Du Xixi wore a cream-colored long-sleeve sweater with slim-fit jeans and a dark coat on the outside. As she had no classes and was resting at home, her long hair was let loose, making her look very gentle.

"Morning." Ke Lian emerged from washing up in the bathroom. When he got up, Du Xixi hadn’t woken, but clearly, she was quick to get ready. By the time he finished washing up, she was already dressed.

Du Xixi turned around and gave Ke Lian a gentle smile, "Morning, what do you want for breakfast? I’ll make it after I wash up."

Ke Lian shook his head, went to Du Xixi’s side, caressed her cheek, and, without minding her morning breath, leaned in and kissed her crimson lips for quite a while before stepping back satisfied, saying warmly, "No need, let 2569 do it. You shouldn’t tire yourself out."

As he spoke, Ke Lian placed his hand gently on Du Xixi’s waist, massaging lightly, this suggestive gesture immediately reminded Du Xixi of things that made her blush. Coughing a little, she shyly pushed Ke Lian away and headed towards the bathroom, "You go downstairs first, I’ll just wash up."

The bathroom door closed with a sound, and Ke Lian looked at his hand that had just caressed Du Xixi’s soft waist, chuckling lightly. Then, he left, deliberately closing the bedroom door a bit louder so a certain someone in the bathroom would hear.

Indeed, Du Xixi heard Ke Lian closing the door, and the slightly pursed corners of her mouth relaxed. She turned on the tap, catching the clean water with the same style toothbrush cup as Ke Lian, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

Unable to suppress, too, was the blush that crept over her face.

She would never admit she was shy!

After freshening up, Du Xixi went downstairs, finding Ke Lian already sitting on the sofa having tea. Also sitting on the sofa was Miao Miao, but Ke Xing wasn’t there. As the "Full-time Nanny" who watches the kids every day, he’s probably in the nursery waiting for the two children to wake up now.

"Miss, good morning." Miao Miao looked radiant after a good night’s sleep, her rosy complexion making her look lively, especially with the bright smile she gave Du Xixi, prompting Du Xixi to praise her beauty.

Du Xixi softened her gaze, stroking Miao Miao’s head, feeling the unintentional touch of the fine hair on her cat ears with the side of her palm, her heart swelling with tenderness, but the words she spoke left Miao Miao puzzled, "Miao Miao, you’ve grown up."

Actually, Du Xixi knew, the age system for Miao Miao differed slightly from that of the Star Era. After all, as a cat, Miao Miao was actually grown, but as a person, she could only be considered a "child."

Du Xixi lowered her head, seeing Miao Miao gazing at her with confusion but not questioning, even tilting her head slightly, allowing it to be more easily stroked under Du Xixi’s hand, making Du Xixi softly sigh in her heart.
