My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts
Chapter 134 - 47 Star_2
CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 47 STAR_2
Until Rob had already walked to the door, Du Xixi suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turned, leaned on the sofa, and said to Rob: "Please help me pass a message to my brother, tell him he’s going to have twin nephews!"
Rob paused, turned to look at Du Xixi’s big pregnant belly, and showed a smile: "Yes. Congratulations to Miss, congratulations to the Marshal."
Although influenced by Chen Yin, Rob also felt that Ke Lian had abducted his lady, but since the lady had twin sons, out of courtesy, Rob naturally had to congratulate Ke Lian as well.
After Rob left hastily, obviously eager to go back and tell Chen Yin the good news, Du Xixi smiled and sat back down, raising her eyes to meet the curious gaze of Mo Feng and the others.
Mo Feng’s eyes were the widest, Sun Mulin’s mouth was the most open, and Diwu Qian was the quickest to ask: "Sister-in-law, you and that... are siblings?"
Rob’s owner, known across the All-Star, is His Majesty Chen Yin, and Rob calls Du Xixi "Miss," while Du Xixi calls Rob’s owner "brother." Even a fool can tell that the relationship between Du Xixi and Chen Yin is not simple.
But Chen Yin, being an only child now with no parents or relatives, how did he suddenly get involved with Du Xixi, someone so distant, with seemingly nothing in common except being in the same Empire?
Du Xixi was stunned, having forgotten that these three didn’t know that she referred to Chen Yin as her brother. She smiled and presented the standard explanation used outside: "I’ve known Brother Chen Yin since childhood, we’re very close, it’s just that I rarely go out before, so people didn’t know."
Anyway, the original owner barely left the house, and Chen Yin was always high above, with few friends. Who would really doubt this explanation? Even if they did, they couldn’t find anything.
Sure enough, none of Mo Feng and the others doubted Du Xixi’s claim, and the lively Sun Mulin suddenly realized: "No wonder on National Day, it was Rob who picked you two up, there was this connection!"
Rob doesn’t personally pick up just anyone. On that National Day before the celebration started, he only went to pick up Ke Lian and Du Xixi.
Du Xixi and Ke Lian exchanged smiles and said nothing.
Ke Xing glanced at the time; it was almost noon. He stood up and said with a smile: "It’s getting late, I’ll go to the kitchen to make lunch for everyone!"
The faces of the five people froze instantly, all the previous casual jokes and relaxed vibes disappeared, Ke Lian wanted to struggle against it, but Ke Xing had already slipped quickly into the kitchen to show off his skills.
Ke Lian thought for a moment and said to the nearby 2569: "Go help Dad, at least make sure the dishes are edible."
"Yes!" 2569 obediently slid towards the kitchen, but was shut outside as Ke Xing closed the door when he returned, ignoring how much 2569 knocked.
In the kitchen, sounds of pots and pans clanking arose, accompanied by Ke Xing’s laughter: "Don’t worry, you little rascals! My cooking skills are top-notch, I don’t need 2569’s help!"
Everyone: ...
For some reason, after Ke Xing said this, they couldn’t be reassured. But when Ke Xing opened the door again, and the aroma of food wafted out, everyone looked at each other, suspecting perhaps their noses were mistaken.
Braised pork, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried eggplant...
Du Xixi, supported by Ke Lian, walked over to take a closer look at the three dishes. Although the sizes of the braised pork were uneven, the fat and lean parts imbalanced, the shredded potatoes varied in length and thickness, the eggplants stir-frying unevenly cooked and colored, overall, they were acceptable.
At least... they weren’t burnt! That’s a huge improvement for Ke Xing, who once couldn’t even use an automatic rice cooker properly.
Look, such a big pot of white rice is already cooked! It doesn’t look burnt like before anymore.
Du Xixi sat between Ke Lian and Miao Miao, on the main seat, Ke Xing saw Du Xixi pick up a piece of braised pork, and asked with a smile: "Xixi, how is it?"
Du Xixi’s mouth seemed to twitch slightly, but her face looked normal as she answered: "Not bad." Except that it’s a bit salty, and you can’t taste any meat flavor at all. Other than that, it’s pretty good.
Encouraged, Ke Xing urged Du Xixi to try the spicy and sour shredded potatoes and stir-fried eggplant again, and as Du Xixi was about to bravely extend her chopsticks, Ke Lian beside her had already quickly acted, using public chopsticks to serve Ke Xing some of each dish into his bowl.
