My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 563 - 190: The Feeling of Liking Someone_2

"You said Your Majesty also likes me, but every time His Majesty sees me, he doesn’t look very happy." Miao Miao pursed her lips, thinking of how Chen Yin, always so high above, lost his composure before her time and again. She felt a twinge of guilt, that rare little emotion flickered for a moment, but she couldn’t grasp it.

Du Xixi affectionately patted Miao Miao’s shoulder. Her fingers were slender, but her hands were not very large, in fact, they were quite delicate. When they landed on Miao Miao’s shoulder, it was as if a piece of exquisite white jade gently fell, without making a sound: "Because you don’t like him."

"Liking is a one-sided affair. He likes you, so he can be happy for you, and he can be sad for you." Du Xixi laughed lightly, an intrigued expression on her face, "I have known my brother for many years, he practically watched me grow up, knows me very well, but I also understand him, who watched me grow up, very well."

Du Xixi withdrew her hand, knowing that Miao Miao, who had been staring at her, was now wholly anticipating her next words, so she continued, "For my brother, the affairs of the Empire come first, then personal matters. No matter if it’s facing the Empire’s affairs or personal feelings, he will always be more rational than emotional. Even in matters concerning me, he remains rational, would never bend the rules for personal gain, or abuse his power."

Du Xixi spoke seriously, trying to make Miao Miao believe it more. But what she said was indeed true. Chen Yin had always maintained his rationality. Even when someone wanted to harm Du Xixi, Chen Yin would calm down immediately and handle the situation in the quickest, most effective way that would strike the enemy hard.

Du Xixi had never seen him lose control before, perhaps it was related to his status as His Majesty. However, when facing Miao Miao, Chen Yin appeared a bit out of control, the tears he shed for Miao Miao time and again were symbols of his most painful moments.

For Miao Miao, Chen Yin could even cry uncontrollably in front of Ke Lian, whom he always hated, which showed how heartbroken he was at that time.

"Because you don’t like my brother, so despite his joy, his heart is filled with immense pain. He is trying hard to pursue you, but had to give up due to some matters, that’s why he couldn’t be happy in front of you." Du Xixi didn’t intend to hide anything for Chen Yin. She looked at Miao Miao’s slightly softened expression, feeling the need to add one more blow, "You have no idea how many times my brother has cried over you in front of me and Ke Lian."

The pair of black cat ears atop Miao Miao’s head suddenly twitched, and the tail behind her wagged restlessly. She knew Du Xixi was speaking well of Chen Yin, and she couldn’t say that her heart was as cold as it once was towards Chen Yin, but...

Miao Miao closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, Du Xixi saw her eyes, calm and serene, as if they couldn’t stir a ripple: "Miss, I want to see His Majesty."

Du Xixi didn’t agree immediately, not because she disagreed with Miao Miao going to the Imperial Palace, nor because she thought Miao Miao couldn’t enter the Imperial Palace, but because she was momentarily caught off guard, not understanding why Miao Miao suddenly wanted to see Chen Yin.

To think that before this, Miao Miao couldn’t hide from Chen Yin fast enough! When did she become proactive in wanting to see him?

"Is that okay?" Seeing Du Xixi not answering, Miao Miao asked again, and this time Du Xixi indeed reacted, nodding hastily. Du Xixi thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any plans for the school celebration this afternoon? If not, I’ll have Jia Yi send you to meet my brother."

"I’m free this afternoon." Miao Miao hugged the book in her arms. She really had nothing to do for the school celebration in the afternoon. If it weren’t for this sudden twist, she would probably be wandering around the self-study room and library as she usually does during her free time. She seemed to remember something and looked up at Du Xixi, "Will His Majesty be very busy? I’ll just go when His Majesty isn’t busy."

Miao Miao knew there were quite a few things she wanted to talk about with Chen Yin, one thing after another, and if Chen Yin was making time for her out of his busy schedule, after talking with her, it would probably delay a lot of his official business.

It’s better to meet him when Chen Yin isn’t busy.

Du Xixi raised an eyebrow, wanting to say that Chen Yin is probably busy at all times, but saying so might dispel Miao Miao’s intention to meet Chen Yin, and as Chen Yin’s sister, she certainly wouldn’t want to set up her brother like that. After some thought, she said, "I’ll go back and ask my brother in a bit. If he’s free this afternoon, I’ll have Jia Yi find you after your class. If he isn’t free, I’ll ask and let you know when he is."
