My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 562 - 190: The Feeling of Liking Someone

Miao Miao has always been gentle and serene. After spending time with Du Xixi, her demeanor resembles Du Xixi’s—she is most kind and reserved. So when Du Xixi saw her expression and heard her caring words, her heart naturally felt uncomfortable.

According to the plan Du Xixi devised on her way, she might use a small lie, such as using Yiyi and Er Er as an excuse, to probe Miao Miao’s thoughts. However, at this moment, she suddenly didn’t want to deceive Miao Miao, but instead wanted to tell her the genuine reason for her visit.

Perhaps Miao Miao would be angry with her. Maybe Miao Miao would find it harder to develop feelings for Chen Yin, but after pondering for a moment, Du Xixi still decided to truthfully ask Miao Miao.

"Miao Miao, do you remember that night when I asked you if you liked children?" Du Xixi softened her gaze, speaking gently to Miao Miao. "You said that if possible, you’d like to have a well-behaved and adorable child, right?"

Miao Miao’s memory was good, and she immediately recalled her conversation with Du Xixi that night. Standing on the balcony, she indeed said those words. She nodded, "Yes, Miss did ask me, and I indeed said that."

Miao Miao didn’t know why Du Xixi came to see her. However, looking at Du Xixi’s subtly serious expression, her heart suddenly had a bold idea—Could it be, she came because of Chen Yin? But what does asking about children have to do with Chen Yin? She and Chen Yin hadn’t reached the point where they needed to ask about children, had they?

Du Xixi took a deep breath, quickly organizing her thoughts in her mind, and said, "Actually, my brother asked me to come to talk to you. He... due to some circumstances, won’t be able to have children in the future."

This matter was indeed a significant blow to Chen Yin, especially after confirming his feelings for Miao Miao. Du Xixi lowered her voice so that only she and Miao Miao could hear this secret.

Miao Miao was stunned, her expression a little dazed. Although she had connected it to Chen Yin, she hadn’t expected this issue to be so related to him, and simultaneously, she understood why Du Xixi asked her that question on that night.

It was nothing more than Chen Yin wanting to know Miao Miao’s thoughts, but unable to ask directly, thus prompting Du Xixi to broach the topic.

No wonder...

"You know, my brother really likes you. But after knowing you wanted a child, he’s been staying in the Imperial Palace and hasn’t come to disturb you." Du Xixi gently stroked Miao Miao’s head. Seeing that she seemed to have not fully grasped the situation, she softened her voice even more. "I didn’t come here specifically to tell you the truth; I just wanted to ask you what your true thoughts about children are."

Du Xixi watched Miao Miao intently but had no intention of pressuring her. Instead, she silently gave Miao Miao time to think clearly about her feelings.

Miao Miao indeed was quietly contemplating.

Her gaze fell on a tree nearby. Her mind, which should have been seriously considering Du Xixi’s question, suddenly wandered, surfacing an inappropriate thought—The last time when Your Majesty brought her here, the leaves on this tree were lush and green. But after not coming for a while, how come the leaves were nearly all gone?

The breeze blew by, and the remaining few leaves couldn’t hold on either. Under Miao Miao’s gaze, they gradually detached from the branches and, in her sight, slowly fell to the ground.

The branches were now completely bare.

It doesn’t look good. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Miao Miao didn’t like it this way.

"Miss..."

"Hmm?"

"What does it feel like to love someone?" Miao Miao looked up at Du Xixi. Being half a head shorter than the tall and poised Du Xixi, she had to slightly tilt her head to meet Du Xixi’s gaze. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to know what it feels like to be in love.

Du Xixi’s gaze moved down to meet Miao Miao’s exceptionally pure and clear eyes. She didn’t know exactly what she felt, but she slowly began to speak, "To love someone... is to be moved by them, to be curious about them, to find everything about them pleasing. When you see them, you’re happy. When you don’t, you’re still happy because your mind is filled with their goodness, feeling like they’re shining at every moment, making you unknowingly smile."

Du Xixi thought about her own feelings after truly developing feelings for Ke Lian. Just thinking about Ke Lian made her entire day joyful.
