My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 573 - 193 Emotional Warm-up_3

Hey hey hey! You’re breaking character!

Although Miao Miao thought that Ke Lian being so nosy was really unlike him, the urgent matter was to answer Ke Lian’s question. She didn’t overthink why Ke Lian suddenly became so curious, but seriously pondered for a moment and replied softly, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will be together with Brother Chen Yin."

Miao Miao was very clear about her current emotional state, much more than her previous crush. She had successfully fallen for Chen Yin in just a few days, but as for whether Chen Yin liked her... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Miao Miao lowered her head and chuckled lightly. If Chen Yin didn’t like her, he wouldn’t have persistently insisted on her going to the Imperial Palace to accompany him.

With both liking each other, as long as nothing came between them, being together was practically a certainty.

Ke Lian got his scoop, his curiosity satisfied, and then started seriously eating his beloved pan-fried buns. Miao Miao snuck a glance at him, seeing that he wasn’t asking more about her and Chen Yin, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, although she wasn’t afraid of Ke Lian anymore, if Ke Lian asked about you and your sweetheart with a straight face, wouldn’t anyone feel their heart trembling? Miao Miao secretly patted her chest, telling her slightly anxious heart to relax a bit and not beat so fast with nervousness.

Ke Lian soon finished his breakfast and left. Miao Miao looked at the time, thought it was about right, and drank the last two gulps of congee with pickled vegetables. She thought congee with pickled vegetables was the perfect combo, absolutely delicious. Especially since these pickled vegetables were personally marinated by Du Xixi, just the thought made Miao Miao happy.

Picking up the bag with the thermos, Miao Miao changed her shoes, bid farewell to 2569, and went to the door. There was a hovercar and a mecha soldier waiting. It was Jia Yi transformed into the hovercar and Jia San, who was providing extra protection for Miao Miao.

"Hello Lord Jia Yi, hello Lord Jia San." Although Miao Miao and Chen Yin were about to be together, Miao Miao didn’t feel her status would become much nobler because of it. She still greeted the mecha soldiers seriously, as before.

"Hello Miss Miao Miao!" The mechanical sound echoed as Jia Yi and Jia San greeted Miao Miao. Miao Miao smiled and got into the car’s back seat, which had already opened its door, while Jia San, there to protect her, sat in the front seat.

The Ke Family wasn’t far from the Imperial Palace, just a few minutes’ drive, and this time Miao Miao got off outside the palace. It wasn’t because she needed any checks but because Chen Yin couldn’t wait, having Rob waiting at the palace gate early. As soon as he saw the hovercar, he happily waved non-stop.

As soon as Miao Miao’s feet touched the ground, Chen Yin naturally stepped forward and held Miao Miao’s left hand. Although it was just a light grasp, not interlocked fingers, Chen Yin was already content, and it made Miao Miao blush, shyly tilting her head a bit.

The atmosphere between the two was already quite harmonious, not allowing for any interruptions. Rob and Jia Yi and Jia San stood together, happy at this sight, but with many eyes around the outside of the Imperial Palace, Rob still suggested, "Master, Miss Miao Miao, why don’t we go inside first?"

"Hmm." Chen Yin replied absent-mindedly, only thinking about how Miao Miao’s hand felt really soft and comfortable to hold. So, although he agreed with Rob’s suggestion, his feet were still planted as if rooted to the spot.

Instead, Miao Miao chuckled awkwardly, tightened her grip on Chen Yin’s hand, and began walking inward, while showcasing the bag she was carrying: "Can you guess what’s in here?"

"Oh? A gift for me! Then I must guess carefully..." Receiving a gift from Miao Miao for the first time, and seeing such a big bag, Chen Yin hesitantly guessed, "Is it...a big rock?"

Miao Miao: ...

Mecha Soldiers: ...

Miao Miao twitched at the corner of her mouth, wondering how such a large bag in her hand ended up being associated with a big rock. Perhaps seeing her odd expression, Chen Yin realized he guessed wrong and awkwardly explained, "Didn’t I hear that your Beast Clan likes giving stones? You even gave stones twice to Mo Ying, so I thought I would get the same treatment."

Miao Miao burst into laughter, not expecting that Chen Yin guessed a big rock for that reason. But since Chen Yin guessed like that, it was evidently from understanding her identity. Knowing that he was attentive to her, Miao Miao’s eyes softened more: "We like to use stones to represent blessings, but stones aren’t given to just anyone, especially one’s... We generally don’t send stones to this category of people."

Beast Clan sends stones to friends, juniors, even respected elders, but to one’s sweetheart... Miao Miao’s face inexplicably blushed again. For the Beast Clan, oneself is the most precious gift, and for one’s sweetheart, their gift is themselves.

Miao Miao felt she and Chen Yin weren’t yet at the point of giving herself as a gift.

Miao Miao didn’t clarify which category, but seeing the bashful appearance of Miao Miao, Chen Yin mysteriously understood, becoming a bit uneasy, lightly coughing while looking at a newly planted tree beside him, but still responding, "Then what gift did you bring me?"

Miao Miao saw the topic silently returned, gently relaxed a bit, her face gaining more ease: "It’s food, I specially learned to make glass dumplings from Miss."
