My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 671 - 226 Family Letter_2

"We," it’s not just Ke Lian’s family, but also the families of other officers. Everyone truly misses home and their loved ones. Fortunately, Du Xixi and 2569’s arrival gave them hope of returning.

"Xixi, you’ve lost weight..." Ke Lian gently touched Du Xixi’s face. Du Xixi used to have a bit of baby fat on her cheeks, especially the last time Ke Lian saw her, she was a slightly round and charming beauty. But today, Du Xixi’s face is so sharply defined; she must have suffered a lot...

Thinking like this, Ke Lian became a bit anxious, realizing that his initial joy upon seeing Du Xixi had made him overlook whether Du Xixi was comfortable physically. He released Du Xixi, grabbed her shoulders, looked her over anxiously, and urgently asked, "Are you hurt? Time travel isn’t good for the body... Are you dizzy? Do you feel sick? And the baby?"

At the last question, Ke Lian noticed that Du Xixi’s baby bump was unexpectedly flat, and he widened his eyes in disbelief. Counting the days, Du Xixi should still have nearly two months before her due date, so where’s the baby? Where did his second child go?

"You’re stunned, right?" Du Xixi also found that Ke Lian’s intelligence seemed to have dropped. She had stood before him for so long, and only now did he realize the baby was missing. She held her forehead, smiled a bit helplessly, and said, "I had a mishap when I was seven months pregnant, and the baby was born prematurely."

As for the nurse who poisoned Du Xixi, she was caught promptly. On that day, several Mechanical Soldiers "forcibly interrogated" her, revealing the mastermind and purpose behind the poisoning.

It was simply an Empire that disliked the Blue Star Empire. Seeing that Du Xixi’s health was poor, they intended to harm Du Xixi and her baby, aiming to shock the Blue Star Empire with a grave loss.

However, the Purification Talent, though not effective for Du Xixi’s suicidal intent, was extremely sensitive to external harm and activated, cleansing all the toxins thoroughly.

After knowing who was behind it, Chen Yin showed no mercy and brought that Empire to the interstellar court. They presented a series of evidence, and before everyone understood what happened, that Empire was no more. According to interstellar law, its citizens were distributed to Deserted Star or allowed to choose to live in other empires.

Ke Lian, surprised and happy, was not unexpected given his demeanor. He supported Du Xixi’s shoulders and looked as if he could barely stand, "What! An accident? Did it hurt your body? Will the prematurely born baby be too weak? Xixi, please tell me."

"The baby and I are fine. Did you forget my Spiritual Talent?" As the other officers were unaware of Du Xixi’s Purification Talent, Du Xixi didn’t directly mention it. But Ke Lian knew its effects well and, seeing Du Xixi’s rosy complexion and unscathed appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Du Xixi again.

"Let me hold you." Ke Lian took a deep breath, inhaling the familiar scent of Du Xixi, which calmed his heart. The exhaustion and longing accumulated over the months were comforted in this deep embrace.

Du Xixi let Ke Lian hold her, slowly closing her eyes, surrendering herself to Ke Lian’s embrace. It is the familiar and dependable embrace she knew. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Fortunately, everything is moving in a positive direction.

The Nutrition Supplements brought by Du Xixi and 2569 were distributed before noon, as well as the materials 2569 carried. Considering that they would remain in this world for at least ten more days, the materials prepared entirely on a monthly basis were dispersed to make everyone’s life a bit more comfortable.

For quite some time, Ke Lian and the others have never been fully fed, fearing that indulging today might mean tightening the belt tomorrow, even controlling each drop of the Nutrition Supplement carefully.

But with these materials, everyone can finally satisfy their hunger, including the usually calm Ke Lian. He poured an entire Nutrition Supplement into his mouth. Feeling the warm fullness in their stomachs, everyone expressed their contentment with a sigh.
