My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 630 - 212 Sugar-fried Chestnuts (Part 1)_3

He sighed. In fact, he didn’t tell Du Xixi everything. His choice to confess to Miao Miao today wasn’t just to brush off the family, it was also because... he was following his heart. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Since childhood, he had been terribly discriminated against in the family. Apart from his grandfather, the Family Head, who loved him, everyone else treated him like an outcast, wishing they could kick him out.

If not for his grandfather always having his back and supporting him all the way to Blue Star University, he might have ended up like many others who underwent human experiments—either dying tragically on the streets or being captured by those with malicious intent for further experiments, ultimately facing a tragic end.

Miao Miao was the second person after his grandfather to treat him normally. Perhaps it was "empathy," as he felt Miao Miao’s gaze was one of equality, without any resistance or rejection. Even his grandfather occasionally showed pity, but Miao Miao never did.

With Miao Miao, he could be a normal person. That’s the reason he particularly liked Miao Miao.

When liking accumulates to a certain extent, it turns into affection. As affection continuously piles up, it overflows from the heart, and today happened to be the moment it overflowed. The cat-eared boy, in a moment of impulse, felt the timing was right and confessed to Miao Miao.

He used the family as an excuse, borrowing Du Xixi to convey this "reason" to Miao Miao. Perhaps... it could make Miao Miao treat him as normally as before? He didn’t want Miao Miao to know about his heartbreak.

As the cat-eared boy hoped, Du Xixi did convey his confession "reason" to Miao Miao. After listening, Miao Miao indeed wasn’t as upset as she would have been during the confession. She thought for a moment and said lightly in front of Chen Yin and Du Xixi: "Just classmates, and only classmates in the future."

Miao Miao had always been somewhat insensitive emotionally, perhaps due to past experiences. However, this was a good thing for the cat-eared boy. At least he hoped Miao Miao could see him as before, and indeed she would. She wouldn’t develop more bias towards the cat-eared boy because of this "confession incident."

The group, consisting of Du Xixi and Chen Yin, the man in a hurry to win back his wife, was grandly escorted back to the Ke Family by the Mechanical Soldiers. At this time, 2569 had already prepared the meal. Seeing that everyone had returned, it brought out the warm dishes one by one and placed them on the dining table.

"Huh, Miao Miao’s favorite rose goose breast is here." Chen Yin came to the dining table, helped Miao Miao pull out the chair, and then glanced at the dishes. Seeing a large plate of rose goose breast placed in front of Miao Miao, he smiled at 2569, "2569, I’m here as a guest, and you didn’t make anything delicious for me?"

"Your Majesty came suddenly, and 2569 didn’t know you were coming as a guest, oh!" 2569, still wearing an apron, had its clean fluff groomed daily with special care. Its head fluff swayed with a tilt but remained stable, "Besides, Your Majesty, don’t you like eating everything?"

Chen Yin was speechless. The table was full of food he loved, but he was momentarily at a loss for words at 2569’s bluntness. After a while, he finally said to 2569, "It’s really a lot of work for you."

"Not at all! 2569 likes cooking!" Even Chen Yin’s dry compliment could make 2569 very happy, which delighted Chen Yin. After sitting down next to Miao Miao, he continued exchanging banter with 2569.

Miao Miao hadn’t been close to Du Xixi for a long time, and she didn’t bother with Chen Yin sitting beside her. She held Du Xixi’s hand and asked, "Did Miss go for her pregnancy check-up this month? I’m free these days. How about I accompany Miss to the military hospital for the check-up?"

Du Xixi’s pregnancy check-ups were usually once a month, often scheduled at the beginning of the month. However, there were many matters this month, and Du Xixi mostly rested at home during her breaks. Thus, this month’s check-up was delayed until the end of the month, and Miao Miao remembered that Du Xixi hadn’t been for the check-up.

"I called a military doctor to the house for a simple check-up, but I can go once tomorrow." Although Du Xixi was busy this month, she was still attentive to the child. She didn’t have time to go to the military hospital herself, so she opted for "home service," with three current obstetricians personally visiting to conduct a simple check-up early in the month. Both the baby and Du Xixi were very healthy.

But since Miao Miao suggested going to the military hospital for the pregnancy check-up together, Du Xixi was free tomorrow anyway. Going to the military hospital for a thorough check-up wouldn’t hurt, so Du Xixi agreed, "Tomorrow, let’s sleep in, rest up, and then go."

Upon hearing this, Ke Xing chimed in, "Then Yiyi, Er Er, and I will tag along. You two can head to the Obstetrics Department, and the three of us will go to Pediatrics. I’ll ask the pediatrician to check them over as well—a health check-up is always beneficial."

Chen Yin, being the busiest person present, felt pained as he saw they planned a "date" at the military hospital together for tomorrow while he was still buried under a mountain of work. He clutched his chest in agony.

"What’s wrong?" Miao Miao noticed out of the corner of her eye that Chen Yin was clutching his chest with a look of pain, so she quickly turned her head to look at him and asked with concern.

Chen Yin hadn’t expected his slight act of drama would catch Miao Miao’s attention. Thrilled at heart, his dramatics visibly intensified: "I’m okay, really... it’s just that when I think of how busy I am and how I can’t make time to spend with you, I feel so upset, so sorry towards you."
