My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 542 - 183 Bai Zhan_2

"Hmm? Ke Lian makes people envious?" Du Xixi raised an eyebrow, thinking the word "envious" was a bit odd. Considering Ke Lian’s status, "fear" and "respect" seemed more fitting, right?

Mo Ying adjusted her sitting posture to lie back on the sofa comfortably yet politely, one hand on her belly and the other holding Du Xixi: "He certainly makes people envious. He married a gentle and quiet wife like you, has two obedient sons, and is expecting a third child. How could the military bachelors not envy him?"

The Military Department is a "bachelor camp." The bachelor rate among young men of the Blue Star Empire is 43%, while among young soldiers in the Military Department, it is as high as 97%! One could say the bachelor’s rate for the Blue Star Empire largely depends on the bachelors in the Military Department.

Before marrying Du Xixi, Ke Lian was the typical bachelor of the military bachelors, showing no interest in women, obsessed with work. People didn’t know he was engaged and privately speculated that Ke Lian would be a bachelor for life.

Yet Ke Lian not only quickly ended his bachelorhood by marrying a wife, but he also swiftly had his wife pregnant, giving birth to twins. This made the other military bachelors somewhat doubt their existence.

Though they were all bachelors, why was Ke Lian’s bachelor treatment so different?

Just as everyone was coming to terms with reality, no longer looking at Ke Lian with eyes of envy and jealousy, news of Du Xixi’s second pregnancy spread, leaving them speechless, and the gazes toward Ke Lian became even stranger.

Military bachelors: You marry quickly! You have kids quickly! Now another quick pregnancy! Are you even giving us a chance to live?

Du Xixi lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, not expecting to be a reason for others to envy Ke Lian. She tilted her head, seeing her two sons playing with toys by her legs, she said gently: "I think the Military Department indeed needs to address the marriage issues for soldiers. Otherwise, they fight for the Empire and people all their lives, having no time to meet women, ending up alone and pitiful."

"Hmm, that’s indeed reasonable!" Ke Xing, who has been through the Military Department, nodded thoughtfully at Du Xixi. "Back then, although I was quick to snatch Ah Lan’s mom, those brothers are still single. Many are busy fighting the Insect Clan in the Military Department, knowing only a few women."

Ye Wenting straightened his back and drank a glass of water. Seeing everyone chatting about this topic, he joined in jokingly: "Female soldiers in the Military Department are treasures. I’m always fearful of escorting Yingying there, scared of going in alive and coming out dead."

"Hahaha!"

The roar of laughter was uproarious, even the kids, Yiyi and Er Er, found it amusing, clapping their hands and laughing along. Ye Wenting glanced at everyone helplessly, yet couldn’t resist laughing too.

Though Ye Wenting’s words were a joke, they were somewhat true. After all, female soldiers in the Military Department have always been "precious creatures." Besides those disinterested in romance or like Mo Ying, always thinking of someone, other female soldiers are quickly snapped up and settled.

Mo Ying, with her dazzling looks and extraordinary skills, is one of the most outstanding female soldiers in the Military Department. But after everyone patiently waited for her to go on a blind date, several soldiers hearing the news didn’t have time to act before Ye Wenting, strategically, swept her away, leaving others to resent Ye Wenting.

If Ye Wenting visits the Military Department, he might come out alive, but enduring some difficulty is unavoidable, allowing others to vent their grievances.

The atmosphere in the living room was harmonious. After chatting for a while, seeing Ke Xing and Ye Wenting each holding a child and playing, Du Xixi and Mo Ying, the two friends, gathered to discuss some private matters between pregnant women.

"How have you been lately? Is your pregnancy reaction severe?" Mo Ying, thanks to everyone’s care, was finally able to relax a bit while nurturing her pregnancy, but she knew Du Xixi was having a tough time with her pregnancy. So, upon hearing that Du Xixi was off for the weekend, she hurried over to check on her.

Du Xixi lightly laughed, shaking her head, holding a warm water bag in her hands, which provided much comfort: "I’m fine, just minor reactions. A bit of endurance and it’s nothing."

Pregnancy always brings discomfort. Since the day Du Xixi found out she was pregnant, she mentally prepared herself. Despite occasionally experiencing backaches, nausea, and vomiting, she felt her pregnancy reactions weren’t severe. Compared to Mo Ying before or other pregnant women she met at the military hospital, Du Xixi’s reactions were relatively mild.
