My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 656: After modification - 221 3 months_2

Du Xixi slightly tilted her head and looked at Ke Xing with somewhat hollow eyes. She had no additional reactions, but the words of comfort that Ke Xing wanted to say could no longer come out.

In just a little over half a month, Du Xixi, who had previously gained some weight from pregnancy, was now so thin she looked like skin and bones, which made her almost five-month pregnant belly even more prominent, and at first glance, it was shockingly large.

Ke Xing watched Du Xixi grow up, and after she married into the Ke Family, he cared for this child whom he had loved since childhood even more, pampering her like a biological daughter, to the point where even Ke Lian had to give way in front of her.

Watching Du Xixi become increasingly worn and haggard, Ke Xing felt truly pained.

No one knew how long they sat there as Du Xixi and Ke Xing watched the snow fall and stop, stop and fall again. Only when Du Xixi exhaled another breath that turned into white mist did she slowly speak: "Dad, if he doesn’t come back, what are we going to do?"

Silence, Ke Xing remained silent, yet Du Xixi had already laughed. She had gotten the answer from Ke Xing’s silence.

Previously, Ke Lian left early and returned late from work every day, seemingly just an occasional "passerby" at home. But now that this "passerby" no longer appeared, they realized how important Ke Lian was, simply irreplaceable.

"Life must go on."

Sometimes, avoiding a topic can be a better way to handle it. At least at this moment, Ke Xing could only choose to avoid it.

The conversation between Du Xixi and Ke Xing didn’t really improve Du Xixi’s mood much. She still waited there every day, foolishly waiting for Ke Lian, who was almost certainly not coming back, and those days stretched all the way to April.

By then, it had been three months since Ke Lian and the others were sucked into the wormhole. Du Xixi’s pregnant belly was now seven months along, but the larger it grew, the more it accentuated her own thinness.

She no longer stayed at the Ke Family; she had moved into the military hospital due to her frail health since the sixth month. Her Purification Talent functioned according to her own condition, and in Du Xixi’s current state of distress, her Purification Talent couldn’t help much.

In other words, Du Xixi herself was already despondent, with a death wish in her heart.

Given Du Xixi’s deeply worrying condition, it wasn’t just Miao Miao taking care of her; Ke Xing also brought his two children to stay in the hospital. Using some "backdoor" connections, they could stay as long as they wanted. This floor was reserved for patients with special status, and the rooms rarely filled more than ten times a year, so their long residence wouldn’t cause any issues.

In addition to Miao Miao, Chen Yin was also one of those who frequently visited Du Xixi in the military hospital. He seemed to mature significantly over these few months. Previously, His Majesty Chen Yin was already capable of standing on his own, but now he possessed an undeniable decisiveness.

In these months, Chen Yin used unprecedentedly strict methods to control the court, leaving no trace of those troublesome courtiers no matter how senior they were and uncovering all the truly capable young individuals and talents neglected for too long, instantly elevating the Blue Star Empire’s power several jumps, putting it just a step away from becoming the top power in All-Star.

Besides the court, he also rooted out those muddying the waters in the Star Network, taking legal action against the attention-seeking netizens during this time.

One could say that the entire Blue Star Empire had been restructured by Chen Yin. Long-standing pests were finally eradicated in one fell swoop.

Only after handling all those varied affairs of the Blue Star Empire, ensuring no further issues would arise, could Chen Yin relax enough to visit Du Xixi at the military hospital.

Sometimes he might sit by her bedside keeping her company all day, while other times he might leave abruptly after sitting briefly. Nonetheless, he would visit Du Xixi at least twenty days out of every month.

Today, Chen Yin came to visit Du Xixi, holding his two nephews while softly saying to Du Xixi, "I had the Rob visit the Food Department; nothing happened. As for the Head of the Star Network Planning Department, he said your health is paramount. The Food Experience Area can be established once matters are settled."
