My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 517 - 175: Ginger撞奶
"Your Majesty, you should head back early too. There’s a lot of work, please take care of your health," Miao Miao said softly, but after saying it, she felt like it showed some concern for Chen Yin. She frowned and turned to leave, "I’m leaving first."
Miao Miao’s silhouette gradually disappeared around the corner. Chen Yin stared blankly at the spot, a tear condensed slowly and unknowingly fell to the ground. Rob timely approached and handed over a handkerchief: "The leaders of Blue Star University are already waiting by the political economy building, master should go meet them."
"Alright, let’s go." Chen Yin composed himself, though the redness at the corner of his eyes couldn’t disappear instantly. His expression was calm, with an aura of majestic authority with a slight chill, no one dared to look him in the face.
A few vice presidents, along with Lin You, were waiting below the teaching building. The students surrounding the area were blocked by Blue Star University’s security and Mechanical Soldiers, so nothing unexpected happened when Chen Yin walked over.
The most senior vice president stepped forward and respectfully clasped hands towards Chen Yin: "It’s rare for Your Majesty to visit. Is there something the matter? Shall we move to the meeting room and have a chat there?"
Chen Yin came today only because of Miao Miao, but their matters weren’t suitable for outsiders to know. Finding a makeshift reason wasn’t difficult, so he smiled gently and said softly, "Indeed, there’s a small matter. I trouble you all to accompany me to the meeting room for a chat."
"Your Majesty is too kind!"
"Yes, let’s head to the meeting room first."

Du Xixi had no classes today and was resting at home to nurture her pregnancy. She thought Chen Yin, heartbroken from being rejected, would be the first to visit her, but instead, news about the "Food Department being renovated" came first, and it was He Yuan who told her while preparing course materials in the office.
Du Xixi: ... What’s going on?
"You’re surprised too, right?" He Yuan lazily leaned back in her chair. The back of the office chair was soft and comfortable to lean against, "I heard it was personally requested by His Majesty, investing a portion of his private funds to revamp our Food Department’s security equipment and professors’ office resources."
Security equipment is undoubtedly for safety protection and emergency measures in case of danger, while the office resource renovation generally involves changing the internal office layout and adding or removing some necessary or unnecessary items.
"Xixi, could it be His Majesty specifically made the request because you’re pregnant?" He Yuan pondered back and forth and could only think of this reason, but upon hearing it, Du Xixi chuckled softly without offering any response.
He Yuan and the others didn’t know the inside story, but Du Xixi did. Likely, Chen Yin’s private investment in the Food Department this time was just an excuse. However, Chen Yin found a quite good excuse; with her legitimate sister status out in the open, no one would think about Miao Miao’s level.
"But why did His Majesty go to political economy?" He Yuan took a sip of tea; she had been hooked on strong tea recently due to many late nights, "Shouldn’t he come to our Food Department?"
Du Xixi paused and actively explained for Chen Yin: "Don’t I have a sister studying in political economy? I didn’t go to university today, so I asked my brother to bring some things over."
"I see." He Yuan listened and felt something wasn’t right, but after chatting a bit with Du Xixi, she dismissed it. After all, the Food Department renovation benefits their professors working there, so why ask more and not just enjoy?
After ending the video call, Du Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to see a hurried figure walk in. Upon a closer look, wasn’t it the downcast Chen Yin?
"Brother, did it fail?" Du Xixi raised her eyebrows, while petting the head of Yiyi beside her, and gestured for Chen Yin to sit down, "It’s alright. If it doesn’t work once, try again." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Hmph!" Chen Yin snorted weakly, but he had already digested his emotions along the way, and seemed somewhat spirited. He effortlessly scooped the squatting Er Er from the floor and plopped down on the sofa, "Miao Miao agreed to give me a chance to pursue her, but I feel she’s just comforting me."
"Hmm, having self-awareness is a good thing." Du Xixi nodded, seriously "appreciating" Chen Yin. She noticed Ke Xing, who was "seriously" reading the Interstellar Morning News, peeked his head out, watching Chen Yin like he was watching a show.
