My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 628 - 212: Candied Chestnuts (Part 1)

Just a few barbs, and would Chen Yin end just like that? Of course not. While stroking the delicate back of Miao Miao’s hand with his thumb, he chuckled and said, "But I can understand. Young people, being reckless is normal. It’s not a big deal to lose face because of it."

"It’s just that I feel you’ve been too reckless and lost all your clumsy charm." At this moment, Chen Yin was not just defending himself; earlier, the cat-eared boy used these words to corner Du Xixi, and Chen Yin was, of course, also defending Du Xixi.

Miao Miao was his lover, and Du Xixi was his sister. With him around, no one would dare bully them and let them suffer grievances.

Every word from Chen Yin seemed like arrows piercing the heart of the cat-eared boy. A long and fluffy black cat tail kept wagging under the cloak, revealing his anxious mood.

The cat-eared boy clenched his hands, took a step forward, and opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out. He didn’t retreat because of Chen Yin’s status, but because he didn’t know what position to take in speaking.

Miao Miao’s suitor? Chen Yin was obviously Miao Miao’s significant other. No suitor could stand confidently in front of the main person. Although he liked Miao Miao, he wouldn’t lose his dignity because of this affection.

The nails in his fists seemed to have pierced the skin, with traces of blood making his fingers slightly moist. However, he didn’t care about these pains; the pain in his heart concerned him more.

He no longer wanted to look at Chen Yin but turned his gaze to Miao Miao, who stood affectionately next to Chen Yin. After mulling over his words for a while, he asked softly, under Miao Miao’s puzzled and distant gaze, "Aren’t you afraid? Your Majesty is increasingly busy, and he won’t have enough time to accompany you. Aren’t you worried that he might neglect you?"

If it were another question, Chen Yin could have confidently refuted it before Miao Miao. However, the question posed by the cat-eared boy was precisely what Chen Yin was most worried about.

Although he and Miao Miao had reached a thinly veiled understanding, and even to the point of tearing the veil to shreds, Chen Yin still had many concerns about their future together.

If he were truly busy to the point of neglecting Miao Miao... Chen Yin pursed his lips, cautiously observing Miao Miao’s expression, worried that she might be upset. Whether out of responsibility or for the people, in the most critical moments, Chen Yin felt he would choose the former between his duties and Miao Miao.

Perhaps such a decision would be unpopular with many, but Chen Yin understood in his heart that this would be his rational choice even after deeply loving Miao Miao. Miao Miao looked up at the cautious Chen Yin, letting out a soft laugh, "Chen Yin, are you busy? Am I not busy too?"

The cat-eared boy paused as Miao Miao’s gentle and clear words continued to echo in his ears: "My life isn’t only about Brother Chen Yin. I still have my studies, and there’s Miss and the others. If Brother Chen Yin is really busy to the point he must neglect me, I can accompany my family and pursue the knowledge I desire."

"Love is a part of my life; it will not be my entire life." As Miao Miao’s voice fell, she felt Chen Yin grip her hand tighter. She raised her head slightly, meeting Chen Yin’s gaze deeply, "If Brother Chen Yin dares to ignore me, I dare to ignore Brother Chen Yin too."

This statement was undeniably bold, yet few present felt Miao Miao was exaggerating.

Indeed, Miao Miao was an excellent student at Blue Star University, and her genius over the past six months had left many top students and professors in awe. If she seriously pursued her studies, her lowest future starting point might be just a professor at Blue Star University.

Apart from her academic qualifications, Miao Miao was also Du Xixi’s sister, the Empire’s princess. Whether online rumors or what people usually saw, Du Xixi and Miao Miao’s relationship was incredibly close. If Chen Yin didn’t accompany Miao Miao, Miao Miao could certainly go to Du Xixi, and if worse comes to worst, there were Du Xixi’s two children to play with her.

Chen Yin felt a warm glow in his heart, thinking that liking Miao Miao was truly the best decision of his life. To have a partner who trusts, understands, and depends on him without being blindly infatuated is definitely the honor of his life. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The cat-eared boy stared blankly at the scene of Miao Miao and Chen Yin’s eye contact. When he recalled it later, all he could remember was how annoying the wind was at that moment. Among so many people present, it only blew against him, directly into his eyes, making him cry right then and there.
