My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 524 - 177 Maltose and Dragon Beard Cake (Part 2)_2

The slender maltose threads are pulled into a long piece, wrapped around the filling in the middle, folded and rolled. With agile wrapping, the square Dragon Beard Cake is completed, stacked together one by one and covered before being stored in a special preservation cabinet by Du Xixi.

The high technological level of the Star Era greatly satisfies Du Xixi, as placing any cuisine into the preservation cabinet, a specialized storage tool, significantly extends its shelf life.

It’s late into the night now, and Du Xixi is too lazy to make the mechanical soldiers run to the Imperial Palace at such an hour; after all, she can just send it to Chen Yin in the morning.

Du Xixi unties her apron and notices that 2569 has already tidied up the counter while she was doing so. With a gentle voice, she says, "I’m going to rest now, you should rest early too."

"Mm!" 2569 already has a dedicated resting corner at the Ke Family house, which Du Xixi personally arranged. She placed a comfy cushion there so that when 2569 crouches down, it can sit directly without crouching all night.

Moreover, 2569 likes to eat Energy Stones, so Du Xixi found it a nice-looking box to place next to its cushion, so all the Energy Stones that don’t fit can be stored in the box.

really likes its "nest." It used to store the Energy Stones inside itself, only taking them out when needed. But ever since it has had the box, it puts all of them in the box, except for keeping two stones on itself as emergency reserves.

Du Xixi walks out of the kitchen and sees a tall figure standing at the kitchen door. The night is deep, and the living room lights have been turned off, leaving only a row of small lamps for illumination. Under the glow of the small lights, Du Xixi recognizes the figure.

Ke Lian is completely relaxed at home, so his sense of awareness is quite low at the moment. Additionally, he is looking down at the files displayed on the Light Computer, causing him not to notice that Du Xixi has stepped out of the kitchen and is approaching him.

Du Xixi watches Ke Lian’s serious profile with a smile, noticing that he hasn’t realized her approach for a long time. Mischievously, she goes up to him and covers his eyes, changing her tone and asking, "Guess who I am?"

Even though Ke Lian did not notice Du Xixi when she approached, once she was close enough, the familiar aura surrounding Ke Lian told him who it was.

"Oh? Let me guess..." He curls his lips into a smile, unhurriedly turns off the Light Computer despite Du Xixi covering his eyes, "Is it the beautiful and charming Miss Xixi?"

"Hmph! Wrong guess!" Du Xixi does not mind the somewhat childish act between her and Ke Lian, slightly tiptoeing to hold Ke Lian’s eyes tightly. "I am the very beautiful and charming Miss Xixi!"

Ke Lian chuckles lightly, a low laughter escaping from his throat and reaching Du Xixi’s ears. He lifts his hand, removes Du Xixi’s hand from his eyes, then turns around and hugs her, softly saying, "No, you are the very beautiful and charming Mrs. Ke!"

They say when the man you love gazes deeply at you, you cannot escape from the love-filled eyes.

Du Xixi agrees with the statement; Ke Lian’s gaze makes her legs feel a bit weak, slightly unstable, causing her to cling to Ke Lian’s neck and slowly lean into his embrace.

Ke Lian, feeling the soft warmth held in his embrace, even the most gentlemanly would find it hard to resist. He lifts Du Xixi horizontally and quickly heads upstairs, but eventually just gently lays her on the bed, dropping a kiss on her forehead: "Xixi, don’t tease me."

If Du Xixi weren’t pregnant now and needed to take care of her body, Ke Lian wouldn’t let her off so easily.

"Clearly, you’re the one teasing me." Du Xixi pouts unhappily, muttering a small sentence. Her voice is low but doesn’t escape the keen ears of Ke Lian.

Ke Lian raises an eyebrow, leaning in to make eye contact with Du Xixi: "Xixi, what did you just say?"

Du Xixi blushes, annoyed she bit her lip resigningly, but seeing Ke Lian gazing intently at her, she quickly pushes him, diverts the topic: "Go take a shower! It’s already late!"

"You!" Ke Lian sighs helplessly, giving her a look before standing up to remove his military uniform.

Between spouses, there’s no need for too much concern; although Ke Lian is well-built, Du Xixi shows no reaction to him changing clothes right in front of her, evidently used to it.

After Ke Lian and Du Xixi have finished washing up in the bathroom, the moon outside is already hanging high. Both have work early the next day, so they don’t say much more, just gently embracing each other as they enter dreamland.
