My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 543 - 183 Bai Zhan_3
"Hmm." Mo Ying leaned closer to Du Xixi, feeling that Du Xixi’s body was soft and warm, making her very comfortable, even more so than leaning against Ye Wenting. "I only have three months left before I find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. I’m so excited..."
Mo Ying had always been curious about whether she was having a boy or a girl. Although she secretly preferred a girl, she would be equally happy if it were a boy. As long as it was a child of hers and Ye Wenting’s, she would love it.
Du Xixi looked at her belly. Although nothing was clearly visible at three months, Du Xixi’s intuition told her it was a boy. She couldn’t help but chuckle to herself and decided not to share her random thoughts with Mo Ying. Instead, she changed the subject: "Is there anything you’d like to eat? I happen to feel like cooking. I’ll make dinner tonight."
"You’re pregnant, aren’t you worried about tiring yourself out!" Although Mo Ying loved Du Xixi’s culinary skills and felt that there was nothing she didn’t love that Du Xixi cooked, she knew that Du Xixi was pregnant, and asking her to make a big dinner was really inappropriate.
Seeing Du Xixi was about to speak up for herself, Mo Ying pouted slightly and said with a bit of playful coaxing, "I seldom get the chance to visit you, so just sit with me for a while! Let 2569 do it; 2569’s cooking is very good too."
Du Xixi’s arm was tightly held by Mo Ying, with most of Mo Ying’s body leaning against her, making it impossible for Du Xixi to get up or go to the kitchen. Du Xixi nodded her head in agreement and said warmly, "Alright, I’ll stay here with you." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"2569!" Mo Ying, seeing Du Xixi give in, smiled joyfully and turned to call 2569, who was holding a water cup to the kitchen, "I’ll leave tonight’s dinner to you!"
"Mission accepted!" 2569 swiftly turned around. Seeing Mo Ying shout, worried that he wouldn’t hear, he also raised his voice to respond from afar.
slipped into the kitchen to start preparing dinner. Du Xixi watched the kitchen door gently close, smiled, and said to Mo Ying, who was still holding her down, preventing her from taking advantage to go to the kitchen, "Can you let go now?"
"Hehe." Mo Ying’s plan succeeded, and she no longer leaned most of her body on Du Xixi and sat properly, but didn’t release her grip, "Marshal isn’t home for dinner tonight, such a pity. Although I don’t want to say it, the Military Department’s food... maybe my taste buds have been spoiled by you guys. Once I went back to the Military Department to get some stuff and almost ran away from their canteen."
Although Mo Ying was on vacation at home, she was still part of the Military Department. She knew everything going on there if she wanted. The Military Department held a routine meeting today, which did not escape her attention.
The Military Department was an orderly place. In response to the request of numerous soldiers, superiors had brought over some personnel from the Cultural Relics Bureau who could cook and even established a canteen. But it was unclear whether it was a special arrangement by the Military Department or the culinary skills of those people from the Cultural Relics Bureau were inadequate; the food they prepared was quite a mystery.
It was enough to test one’s willpower!
Mo Ying wasn’t very hungry at the time; she’d never been to the newly opened canteen before. Out of curiosity, she ordered a small bowl of white rice to try it. But the rice was so clumped that, though no bigger than half a fist, Mo Ying took a full ten minutes to swallow it.
How to explain it... It was as if the normal white rice was mixed with stiff stone rice, one soft and one hard, not making the taste any better. Instead, the contrast with normal white rice made the hardness of the stone rice more obvious.
After eating, Mo Ying felt her teeth were about to give out.
Since Ke Lian was attending the Military Department’s meeting, he either drank nutrition supplements or went to the canteen for the arranged meals. Mo Ying thought, in such a situation, perhaps even nutrition supplements could be considered "delicious" for everyone.
Du Xixi had never heard Ke Lian mention anything about the Military Department’s canteen at home. Hearing Mo Ying bring it up, she was curious and leaned closer to ask, "Is it really that bad? How bad?"
Mo Ying, seeing Du Xixi’s curious mind about this harsh subject, sniffed with difficulty and replied grievously, "Worse than the old stone rice!"
Du Xixi: Hiss...
Okay, she understood.
Du Xixi clutched her chest and thought of Ke Lian, likely preparing for the meeting, and silently chuckled to herself in glee.
After dinner, Mo Ying and Ye Wenting left together. Du Xixi and Ke Xing led Yiyi and Er Er outside to watch the hovercar depart. Once the hovercar was out of sight, Ke Xing picked up the two children and invited Du Xixi to return home.
The evening wind was strong and cold; staying inside was more comfortable.
Du Xixi nodded, but just as she was turning around, she saw a familiar figure appear at the street corner. She halted, squinted, and as the figure gradually approached, she recognized who it was.
"... Bai Zhan?"
