My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 632 - 213: Candied Chestnuts (Part 2)_2

Miao Miao’s subtle worry between her eyebrows dissipated instantly. She smiled gently at Chen Yin and then used the serving chopsticks to pick a piece of fish without bones for him, "I wasn’t worried, just concerned that someone couldn’t accept it. You have so many fans, if they get upset and stop following you, don’t regret it!"

Chen Yin raised his head haughtily, but didn’t delay further. Using his other free hand, he scooped up the fish with a spoon and carefully placed it in his mouth, chewing slowly before swallowing. "As an Empress, what do I need so many fans for? Besides, most of my fans are rational and will definitely respect my choice."

"Moreover..." Chen Yin slowly lowered his head, leaning closer to Miao Miao, his gaze gradually filled with deep affection, "Even if they don’t want me to be with you, I wouldn’t listen to them."

Miao Miao smiled again, a bit shy but more so happy. Clearly, Chen Yin’s words touched her heart.

Du Xixi and Ke Xing suddenly felt they couldn’t bear to watch, the former turned back to the Light Computer screen, intending to share with Sun Mulin just how over-the-top this couple’s display of affection was, while the latter buried his head in his food, stuffing a few more bites into his two confused grandsons.

After dinner, Chen Yin was about to return to the Imperial Palace. The pile of official duties accumulated in just a few hours of the afternoon was enough for him to stay up through the night. If he didn’t return, the Chen Yin Miao Miao would meet at the palace tomorrow would likely be sporting dark circles.

To prevent his image from being tarnished in Miao Miao’s mind, Chen Yin, as reluctant as he was, had to bid farewell to Miao Miao. Taking advantage of a moment when Du Xixi and Ke Xing weren’t paying attention, he boldly kissed Miao Miao on the back of her hand, as a "farewell kiss." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

This could be considered an extremely polite and restrained "farewell kiss," which directly made Miao Miao blush completely. Even after Chen Yin left for a while, she was still at the doorway blushing furiously.

Ke Xing didn’t feel it was appropriate to say anything at this moment, after all, he was an elder, and Miao Miao was still a young girl. He picked up each grandson and went inside to play with toys, while Du Xixi stepped forward and gently relaxed Miao Miao’s shoulders, "Still shy? Your dear Chen Yin brother has been gone for quite some time."

"Miss!" Miao Miao bit her lip, stomped her foot a bit bashfully, but was too embarrassed to say more, lowering her head, not daring to let Du Xixi see her increasingly reddening face.

Seeing this, Du Xixi chuckled softly, draping an arm around Miao Miao’s shoulders and leading her inside while speaking warmly, "It was just a kiss on the back of the hand. If you ask me, brother’s ’farewell kiss’ was rather half-hearted. My first ’farewell kiss’ with Ke Lian was on the forehead!"

"Forehead..." Miao Miao thought just a kiss on the hand was enough to embarrass her. If Chen Yin, like Ke Lian, kissed her on the forehead while saying goodbye...

Miao Miao took a deep breath, simply unable to imagine. If Chen Yin really kissed her forehead, she might have turned into a roasted cat right on the spot!

Du Xixi laughed for quite a while before stopping, but she didn’t tease Miao Miao much more. She remembered there seemed to be a few bags of things piled in the kitchen this morning, she was in a hurry to leave and hadn’t looked closely, so now was a good time to check it out.

"Madam!" 2569 was tidying up the kitchen and saw Du Xixi come in. Thinking she wanted to make some tasty snacks for a late-night treat, he went to grab her an apron, but Du Xixi waved her hand, indicating she was just having a look.

"Are these from CD-0329 Star?" Besides the Blue Star Empire’s food bases, CD-0329 Star was the only one to send food to the Ke Family. It was a fifty-fifty chance, so Du Xixi casually asked the question.

shook his head while placing dishes and utensils into the dishwasher, replying, "It’s from the Cultural Relics Bureau. They say it’s an off-season cultivated product of a newly found plant from CD-0329 Star, rapidly matured in an instrument. His Majesty said it’s called a chestnut, but he didn’t know how to eat it, so sent it over for your opinion."

Chestnuts? Du Xixi immediately frowned, opening one of the bags with her hand, already feeling a bit displeased with the Cultural Relics Bureau’s way of handling things.

It’s not because they sent food asking for her help. Du Xixi had often done this before, as both parties had reached a tacit understanding, so she had no reason to be angry about that. She was upset because the Cultural Relics Bureau’s rapid maturation of food, in her view, was quite excessive.
