My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 546 - 184 Hibiscus Steamed Egg_3

"You only came to apologize?" Du Xixi heard his apology, but didn’t show any acceptance or rejection, just looked at him indifferently, "If you only came to apologize, you can leave now."

"I..." Bai Zhan’s face turned red, not expecting Du Xixi to issue an eviction order so quickly. He did come to apologize to Du Xixi, but he also wanted to ask about Mo Ying, "I want to ask, is Mo Ying’s life going well now?"

Silence. After Bai Zhan finished asking this question, the entire living room fell into silence. Bai Zhan, feeling somewhat nervous, clenched his hands tightly, unable to hear any movement from Du Xixi, only his own rapid heartbeat.

Thump... Thump... Thump...

"She’s doing very well, Ye Wenting loves her dearly, you probably already know that she’s pregnant." Du Xixi spoke coldly, not understanding why Bai Zhan would ask this question. Was this concern out of guilt, knowing that he didn’t like Mo Ying at all in the past?

"Well, that’s good then."

Bai Zhan tried hard to smile, not knowing why a rush of bitterness surged in his nose. He looked up at Du Xixi, seeing her usual gentle demeanor, but her gaze on him seemed colder than usual. Feeling somewhat uneasy, he hurriedly said goodbye and left swiftly.

He felt that in front of Du Xixi, he couldn’t speak a word comfortably.

Soon after Bai Zhan left, Ke Lian returned home, his expression somewhat grave after a meeting, though he rarely brought these heavy emotions to Du Xixi. Upon entering the house, he restrained his emotions, meeting Du Xixi’s gaze with a gentle smile, "I’m back."

"Welcome home," Du Xixi stood up, walking to Ke Lian’s side and gently hugging him, "Bai Zhan was just here. He came to apologize to me, and he also asked about Sister Mo Ying’s recent situation."

Du Xixi spoke softly, yet Ke Lian sensed her discontent and quickly lowered his head to give her a kiss, speaking softly, "Did he make you unhappy? Next time, just don’t let him in."

"Dad was here, how could I stop him!" Du Xixi playfully pointed at the side of his face, but Ke Lian’s reassurance soothingly relieved some of her discontent.

Seeing that although Ke Lian appeared as usual before her, his eyes were slightly heavy, Du Xixi speculated that the meeting might have involved some major issues. Yet she hesitated, not asking more but tugged at his sleeve, showing a gentle smile, "I heard from Sister Mo Ying that the Military Department’s cafeteria is unmentionable... Are you hungry? Should I make you something to eat?"

"Even though it’s unpalatable, the Military Department doesn’t waste food; I’ve already eaten." Speaking of the Military Department’s cafeteria, even Ke Lian couldn’t help but cover his stomach in fear, thinking that the upper ranks of the Military Department surely did it on purpose, making everyone eat there to temper their will, ensuring they can hold out longer against the Insect Clan.

Ke Lian had visited the cafeteria before, but only once, and after that, he returned to the safety of nutritional supplements. But this meeting involved everyone dining together, with meals prepared in advance, so Ke Lian reluctantly finished his meal under everyone’s watchful eyes.

Despite Ke Lian’s strong endurance, he sighed during the meeting, suggesting that other Military Department members might find this meal unforgettable for a lifetime.

Seeing Ke Lian’s expression twist momentarily, Du Xixi laughed joyfully, placing her hand on Ke Lian’s flat stomach with a gentle pat, pondering before saying, "How about I make you some egg custard to warm your stomach at night? It’s very comforting to eat." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Won’t it tire you out?" Hearing the words "egg custard," Ke Lian couldn’t help but lick his lips, craving it greatly after experiencing the Military Department cafeteria. However, no matter how much he wanted it, he didn’t want Du Xixi to be tired, "Forget it, I’m not hungry."

Without giving him a chance to refuse, Du Xixi pulled Ke Lian’s hand towards the kitchen. Seeing him clearly looking forward to the egg custard while stubbornly saying "don’t want," she chuckled, "Egg custard isn’t tiring at all; just crack an egg and add some seasoning, you’ll be eating soon enough!"

Listening to Du Xixi, Ke Lian no longer refused, but he still stayed by her side, thinking he could lend a hand with beating the eggs later.

Du Xixi took out a few eggs, noticed a piece of freshly prepared pork belly tucked beneath them, thought for a moment, and took out the pork belly as well.

"Egg custard is delicious, and so is steamed egg with minced pork. The pork belly looks nice, let me make you steamed egg with minced pork," Du Xixi spoke gently to Ke Lian, who had no opinion on what to eat; hearing this, he nodded and helped her with the pork belly.

The steamed egg with minced pork recipe is simple, utilizing some basic ingredients. The tender and smooth steamed egg mixed with fragrant pork belly shreds, garnished with green scallions, makes it visually appealing.

Thinking about the deliciousness of steamed egg with minced pork, Du Xixi’s mood improved unconsciously, completely forgetting the unpleasantness brought by Bai Zhan. Du Xixi took out a large bowl, cracked four eggs into it, added scallions, a few drops of cooking oil, and salt grains, then quickly stirred it a dozen times with chopsticks, and the pale yellow egg mixture was ready.
