My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 535 - 181: Chen Yin’s Tears Fall Easily

"If it weren’t for all the official duties, I would really want to stay at your place for the night." Chen Yin, hugging the soft pillow, nestled comfortably on the sofa, his eyes slightly closed, with a lazy tone.

As the ruler of the Empire, he has endless official duties to deal with every day. If he hadn’t specifically handled his mountain of work a few days ago, he wouldn’t have been able to get out today.

However, even though Chen Yin managed to come out, he still had to go back; he had to deal with more work tonight. Otherwise, the undone part would have to be dealt with in the early morning.

For tomorrow’s Chen Yin to be a bit more at ease, today’s Chen Yin had to be a bit more tired.

"Ah!" Behind the sofa where Chen Yin sat, Ke Xing silently approached holding two kids. Under Du Xixi’s amused gaze, Yiyi grabbed a handful of Chen Yin’s hair and slightly pulled it up with some force, "Uncle! Pull!"

"Hey! You little rascal! You remember I’m your uncle, huh?" Chen Yin suddenly became alert and turned to look at the unruly Yiyi. Seeing one of his little hands still grabbing his hair, sitting on Ke Xing’s arm, and laughing gleefully, he amusedly let go of Yiyi’s hand and took him fully into his arms, "You cheeky little devil, aren’t you afraid I’ll spank you?"

"Uncle." Yiyi is quick to act, while Er Er obediently nestled in Ke Xing’s arm, softly greeted him only after seeing his brother being held by Chen Yin.

Every day, Ke Xing guides Yiyi and Er Er to learn to speak. Ke Lian also found plenty of drawing books for them, and the kids now recognize quite a few words. They can understand some simple conversations too.

Chen Yin liked Yiyi and naturally liked Er Er too; they were both cherished nephews close to his heart. After settling in, he placed Yiyi on his lap comfortably and then brought Er Er over as well: "Er Er is good; uncle won’t spank Er Er."

"Uncle!" Yiyi pouted, unhappily tugged Chen Yin’s hand, and cried out. Chen Yin lowered his head and chuckled at him, "I wonder who it was that pulled uncle’s hair the moment they saw me. You tell me, should I spank you or not?"

Yiyi’s eyes turned red, almost crying, pouting and unable to speak. Kids at this age are the most amusing; they want to do everything but are afraid to do anything. Sneakily glancing at Chen Yin twice, then tugging at his sleeve, softly apologized: "Uncle, spank Yiyi." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Chen Yin was just teasing Yiyi, seeing him regretfully apologize, he wasn’t angry at all, his heart melted. He pinched Yiyi’s cheek, smiling, "Uncle won’t spank Yiyi. Our Yiyi is a good boy; don’t randomly pull people’s hair in the future, okay?"

"Three years old shows how they’ll be as adults; raising a child requires starting young. Don’t think Yiyi just playfully grabbed a relative’s hair now, if not properly guided, he might become spoiled later on."

Chen Yin educated Yiyi not only from a relative’s perspective but also as the Blue Star Empire’s ruler. He believed he would never have children, so Yiyi and Er Er might become future rulers of the Blue Star Empire. Yiyi, being the first in line, naturally made Chen Yin invest more effort in their character development.

However... Chen Yin suddenly thought about how he couldn’t have children and this led him to think about Miao Miao.

He is currently pursuing Miao Miao, so does this mean he has to inform her about this fact? Otherwise, it’s unfair to Miao Miao. But if he tells Miao Miao, and she becomes even less interested in him because of it, wouldn’t he feel terrible?

This issue involuntarily tied up Chen Yin’s thoughts all the way through dinner until everyone sat on the sofa to watch TV, and Chen Yin was still somewhat absent-minded.

"Brother, go for a walk with me." Du Xixi sat beside Ke Lian, turning to speak with Chen Yin when she noticed his distracted state, she pulled her hand from Ke Lian’s grasp and instead clutched Chen Yin’s wrist, leading him out.

The siblings walked out briskly, Ke Lian stared blankly at his empty palm, suddenly looked up, watching Chen Yin and Du Xixi’s backs disappear at the door, slightly sourly furrowed his brow.

Ke Lian: Sure enough, Big Brother-in-law is a stumbling block on my road to love.

"Brother, is anything bothering you? Is it because of Miao Miao?" The Ke Family’s courtyard is quite spacious; even though it’s already winter, some painstakingly cultivated flowers are still blooming resiliently. Under the night lights, they’re quite pleasant to admire. Du Xixi gently brushed a flower petal with her hand, pausing lightly upon the stem.
