My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 545 - 184 Hibiscus Steamed Egg_2

Perhaps it’s regret, or maybe it’s satisfaction.

brought Bai Zhan a new pair of slippers. This was Bai Zhan’s first visit to the new Ke Family residence. He curiously glanced around, noticing Du Xixi sitting coldly on the sofa, staring at him. He immediately stiffened, feeling somewhat uneasy as he walked over.

After all, Du Xixi had been angered by him previously, and he shamelessly sought Du Xixi’s forgiveness. Now, of course, he had to apologize to Du Xixi for his past irrational behavior.

Ke Xing placed the two children beside Du Xixi. Du Xixi wrapped an arm around each son, letting the two brothers lean against her. She saw Bai Zhan standing slightly in front of her, hesitantly looking at her. She could somewhat guess what Bai Zhan wanted to say, but she wasn’t keen on listening, so she turned her head away, pretending not to notice his expression.

"Sit down." Ke Xing motioned for Bai Zhan to sit next to him, personally pouring him a cup of hot tea. "You look a bit haggard. Have you been tired lately?"

Bai Zhan’s face was full of fatigue, with the word "haggard" almost written on it. As an elder, Ke Xing naturally needed to show some concern.

Bai Zhan’s expression became a bit unnatural after hearing Ke Xing’s concern. He quietly glanced at Du Xixi, seeing her attentively coaxing the two sons and not paying attention to him. He then relaxed a bit, softly saying, "I just got back this morning. I probably didn’t rest well on the spaceship."

Actually, Bai Zhan’s fatigue was partly because he didn’t rest well, and partly because he wanted to apologize to Du Xixi but was struggling to find a way.

He thought that if it weren’t for Ke Xing, Du Xixi probably wouldn’t have let him in. Perhaps the moment she saw him, she would have shut the door, not even letting him step into the Ke Family’s house.

"Then you need a good night’s..." Ke Xing quickly began explaining the consequences of lack of rest to Bai Zhan. Bai Zhan, in turn, listened earnestly, which made Du Xixi, secretly paying attention, twitch her lips, deciding it was more interesting to focus on playing with the two sons.

Yiyi and Er Er usually went to bed around eight. Typically, it was Ke Xing who coaxed them to sleep, and today was no exception. After Ke Xing took the two children upstairs, the living room was left with only Du Xixi and Bai Zhan, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward.

Of course, this awkwardness was what Bai Zhan felt. On the other hand, Du Xixi sat lazily across from him, holding a cup of warm water, drinking it leisurely, not feeling awkward at all.

"Sister-in-law..." After hesitating for a while, Bai Zhan cautiously spoke to Du Xixi. But as soon as he started speaking, Du Xixi shot a sharp glance at him, and his words of apology got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

However, just because Bai Zhan couldn’t speak, didn’t mean Du Xixi couldn’t. Du Xixi put down her cup, lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "I know why you’re here today. You don’t need to apologize to me; there’s no need."

"No! I need to apologize to you." Bai Zhan’s intentions were seen through by Du Xixi, but this didn’t embarrass him; instead, he felt relieved as he stood up eagerly, looking at Du Xixi, "Back then, I was too irrational. I said those words that upset you, sister-in-law. It was my fault."

Back then, Mo Ying brought Ye Wenting back to the Mo Family, first to introduce her boyfriend, and secondly to make clear to Bai Zhan, who was staying over at the Mo Family for one night—that she, Mo Ying, no longer liked Bai Zhan.

This was, in fact, a good thing for Bai Zhan. After all, the person who had been following him around all the time finally left; this person was someone he never had feelings for. He should have been happy and offered his blessings, but Bai Zhan’s thought process was something that left Du Xixi amazed. He dared to come to the Ke Family the next day to ask Du Xixi to persuade Mo Ying and Ye Wenting to break up.

Anyone who heard that would surely be angry, and naturally, Du Xixi was furious on the spot, bombarding Bai Zhan with a series of questions and then storming off to the room, leaving him with the words, "You’re really pitiful."

She didn’t know what Bai Zhan’s reaction was after her questioning, nor did she care to find out from Ke Lian when Bai Zhan left. She just didn’t want to know anything about Bai Zhan and didn’t allow Ke Lian to mention Bai Zhan in front of her anymore.

Honestly, if Bai Zhan hadn’t suddenly appeared tonight, Du Xixi might have forgotten about Bai Zhan altogether.
