My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts Chapter 756 - 256 Extra (6)2
After returning ho, the grandpas were indeed very surprised by Ke Su’s arrival. Even though many dishes were already laid out on the table, more than enough to fill everyone up, they couldn’t help but ask soone to make a few more dishes in the kitchen.
Du Xixi said jealously, "Oh, I see how it is! When Susu isn’t here, you all talk about saving food. But as soon as Susu arrives, you don’t mind wasting it? Hmm, let think. Aren’t those dishes Susu’s favorites?"
Du Xixi said this on purpose, and although the grandpas saw through it, they still teased her, "You! When you want extra dishes, we haven’t stopped you, have we?"
"Exactly, who was the little glutton who felt hungry after dinner yesterday and asked the kitchen to make another bowl of noodles? Is it a bottomless pit for a stomach or what?"
"Why worry about waste? Our family has a big eater Xixi who can eat a lot!"
"..."
"Oh!" Du Xixi stomped her foot, turning her head away in a bit of embarrassnt and annoyance. While she was in Star Era, she actually didn’t eat much. Her original self didn’t have such a big appetite either, but she could eat more and more, and yet her health check results were great, just a normal big eater.
Whenever the Du Family made a big table of dishes, if the whole family gathered to eat, at least forty percent would be eaten by her.
Grandpa sat at the head of the table, smiling pleasantly. Although they hadn’t started eating yet, he pointed out a few dishes with communal chopsticks, "This sweet and sour pork, that crispy squirrelfish, and the tower at in front of you—in which one aren’t you the biggest fan?"
Du Xixi felt "a little guilty," pouting and remaining silent amidst the grandpas’ teasing, simply bowing to help Ke Su onto a chair before taking her own seat.
After the jokes, it was ti to eat. The Du Family didn’t uphold strict rules like not speaking during als. You pass food to him, he passes food to him, and occasionally the elders would argue a bit over the last bite of a favorite dish, making Du Xixi smile as she ate.
She loved the bustling atmosphere of the Du Family, much more cheerful than being alone in Star Era...

Ke Su stayed overnight at the Du Family. After all, if he returned ho, it would only be the nanny putting him to bed, which wasn’t as reassuring as being accompanied by Du Xixi. Ke Yong was inford by the bodyguard, and he didn’t object.
But just as thrilled as Du Xixi was about having Ke Su stay over, she was equally torn the next day when Ke Yong returned—Ke Yong had so tasks to handle, so he went straight back to the company, but asked Du Xixi to bring Ke Su to the headquarters of the Ke Group.
The Ke Group is the family business currently managed by Ke Yong, considered one of the leading enterprises in the country. It doesn’t cover everything, but its subsidiaries produce a significant portion of consur products.
What made Du Xixi hesitant wasn’t how impressive the Ke Group was, but rather... the Ke Group was a full twenty kiloters away from the Du Family. The farthest Du Xixi had ever been was no more than ten kiloters away, to the main venue of the Culinary God Competition.
Though twenty kiloters would only take about half an hour by car, for soone who beca a "hobody" upon arriving in this world, going to the Ke Group was definitely considered a "long-distance trip." Yet she looked at Ke Yong’s request on her phone and at Ke Su’s hopeful little eyes beside her, and found herself unable to refuse, so she agreed.
Ke Su was delighted, hugging Du Xixi’s leg and laughing brightly, while Du Xixi, gently pinching Ke Su’s little face, didn’t know that Ke Yong, far over at the Ke Group, was also happy.
"President?" Special Assistant Shen was originally reporting the details of a recent eting and froze when he saw their work-focused President suddenly smiling foolishly while holding his phone. He was a bit incredulous and called him.
Normally, Ke Yong is a very gentle person, polite to everyone, akin to a gentleman. But when working, Ke Yong is always serious and ticulous, pouring his entire heart into his work, making it difficult for him to break away.
Today... seed a bit strange. Has the President started dating? Couldn’t be. He’s been so busy he barely has ti to eat—where would he find ti to et outstanding won, let alone reach the stage of having a girlfriend?
Special Assistant Shen quickly dismissed the most likely answer, but then saw Ke Yong co back to his senses and smile kindly at him, saying warmly, "Special Assistant Shen, please have soone prepare so juices and snacks for ... besides the ones Susu likes, make sure there are so young won will enjoy too."
"Ah?" Special Assistant Shen was dumbfounded, "President... do you have a girlfriend now?"
Ke Yong’s eyes grew even softer, but he still explained, "I’m still single, but the person bringing Susu here later is soone I like... she’ll beco my girlfriend in the future."
Ke Yong doesn’t have a domineering temperant, which is actually a hindrance in the business world, but he’s sowhat stubborn, willing to go to great lengths for anything he decides to do, and has never failed at it—it’s why he’s achieved his current success.
Du Xixi, then, is his new "stubbornness."
Special Assistant Shen was still quite surprised, and after giving a few instructions outside, he found himself not in the mood to report work, hesitated a bit, and chose to ask with a bit of gossip, "The girl you like must be very outstanding, right?"
Normally, Ke Yong doesn’t enjoy discussing gossip during work hours, but Special Assistant Shen has been with him for three years and is his most trusted confidant, and Ke Yong indeed felt the urge to share, so he bit his lip and whispered, "She... is indeed outstanding, the most excellent girl I’ve ever seen. She’s smart, generous, polite, loves kids... and cooks delicious als."
Special Assistant Shen: ...
Special Assistant Shen was ready to listen attentively, expecting that the girl Ke Yong liked might be a genius from a prestigious university or a newly risen business competitor, having developed an interest in their reciprocal interactions. But now it seems she’s just an ordinary girl?
Smart, generous, polite, loves kids, and cooks well—aren’t there tons of girls like that?
