My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts Chapter 83 - 30 National Day Ceremony2

Ke Lian also knew his job was unique; not to ntion he usually had a large amount of military affairs to handle, he was often dispatched to the battlefield as well, so he really had no confidence in saying he could frequently accompany Du Xixi out for walks.

Ke Lian hugged Du Xixi with so guilt and softly comforted her: "In a few more years, when capable people from the Military Departnt erge, I will step down and make way for the worthy and stay ho to accompany you."

The Blue Star Empire has always followed a policy of prioritizing the capable, and this phenonon is more pronounced within the Military Departnt—everything is based on strength, and family status and position have little relation.

Although Ke Xing was once a soldier with considerable battle achievents, as his son, Ke Lian had to start growing from a small soldier when he joined the Military Departnt.

It was because Ke Lian had high talent and could endure hardship, so while the brothers who joined the Military Departnt with him were still small soldiers, he had already relied on his own strength to rise in ranks. To beco one of the three Grand Marshals in his early hundreds was all based on his own strength.

Although a marshal earns a lot of money, the Ke Family is already wealthy, with both money and power; the identity of marshal is rely an added prestige, offering so speaking power in the Military Departnt and a front row seat at major ceremonies, but not much more than that.

If the Military Departnt could really produce a suitable candidate, Ke Lian wouldn’t overly cling to the marshal position. As long as the person is competent and willing to take the safety of the Blue Star Empire as their responsibility, Ke Lian would hand over the marshal position readily.

Du Xixi didn’t want to talk much about this topic and randomly chatted a few sentences. Seeing a cluster of vivid red roses at the corner, Du Xixi’s eyes lit up, and she pulled Ke Lian and 2569 over, taking big strides forward.

Perhaps it is instinctual; Du Xixi feels she is increasingly attracted to beautiful plants and flowers. Even in the originally barren Ke Family courtyard, which was only used for placing cha, Ke Lian has planted many beautiful flowers to please her.

Furthermore, under the simulated sunlight with adjustable temperature, the flowers bloom daily, making Du Xixi’s mood even better as she watches them.

While Du Xixi and Ke Lian were happily admiring the flowers, with 2569 quietly accompanying them, a group of people ca walking along another path, getting closer to Ke Lian and Du Xixi.

It was Mo Ying and Ye Wenting leading the way, followed naturally by Mo Feng and a few brothers... but Bai Zhan wasn’t there.

These individuals were all sharp-eyed and keen-eared. Even Ye Wenting, who was buried in research at the institute every day, maintained good eyesight, so from a distance, they spotted Ke Lian and Du Xixi leisurely admiring flowers beside the bushes.

They exchanged glances, being on good terms with Du Xixi and Ke Lian, and quietly approached, intending to give Ke Lian and Du Xixi a big surprise.

Du Xixi didn’t notice the approach of these people, but who was Ke Lian? He imdiately detected their sneaky actions and swept his sharp gaze over them.

If it were before, playing around would be fine, but Du Xixi is pregnant now, still early in pregnancy; what if sothing happened from being startled? Ke Lian wouldn’t allow such things to happen.

Instead of surprising them, Mo Ying and the others were frightened by Ke Lian’s gaze, each stumbling on the spot, creating quite a commotion.

Du Xixi raised an eyebrow, not knowing what had happened, curiously looking over, and saw Mo Ying’s group with embarrassed expressions, stopping in her tracks.

Perhaps because Bai Zhan had just visited the Ke Family this morning, Du Xixi instinctively looked for Bai Zhan’s figure among the crowd when she saw Mo Ying and the others.

As expected, Bai Zhan didn’t appear.

Du Xixi quietly bit her tongue; if Bai Zhan had not lost composure in front of Ke Lian and Du Xixi earlier as he once did, Du Xixi might still believe he would co along calmly, but he had already lost composure...

Whether it’s because he’s embarrassed to face Du Xixi and Ke Lian, or doesn’t want to see Mo Ying and Ye Wenting, Bai Zhan not appearing is normal.

Du Xixi naturally held Ke Lian’s hand, intertwining their fingers, and then warmly smiled at Mo Ying and the others, saying: "How co you all have ti to co over?"

Ke Lian also spoke, but his tone was much more harsh: "Especially Mo Ying and Ye Wenting, you co too frequently."

Not to ntion Ye Wenting was just here last night, but Mo Ying ca yesterday, the day before yesterday, and today again. Her frequency in appearing in front of Du Xixi is almost as if she’s living with Du Xixi.
