Chapter 35: Chapter 14 That Night_2

By the end, Chen Yin could hardly bear it and covered his ears, rolling his eyes. Du Xixi simply covered Ke Lian’s mouth directly, blocking the excessive praise that made her own skin crawl.

Oh my god, where did the cold and imposing Marshal go! Who swapped him out! Bring him back quickly!

Seeing Du Xixi’s expression of "please stop talking," Ke Lian smiled with satisfaction. As expected, Mo Feng’s idea was quite good, and Du Xixi indeed did not care about the previous question’s answer anymore.

Immersed in the "victory," Ke Lian completely ignored Du Xixi and Chen Yin’s indescribable expressions. It can only be said that this invincible Marshal on the battlefield might suffer defeat after defeat when it comes to emotional intelligence.

Du Xixi and Ke Lian didn’t stay in the Imperial Palace for long. After noon, Ke Lian embraced the somewhat weakened Du Xixi and intended to leave. He let the pale Du Xixi lean on him, feeling very worried.

He still did not know that Du Xixi was pregnant; he just thought that Du Xixi’s constitution was not good, and with so many people coming and going in the Imperial Palace, she might have been frightened, hence her even weaker state.

Chen Yin personally escorted them to the gates of the Imperial Palace and, seeing Ke Lian’s hovercar parked outside without any protection, frowned and suggested, "Let Rob escort you back."

Du Xixi seemed very uncomfortable. Even though Chen Yin knew Ke Lian’s strength was decent, he was not at ease letting Du Xixi go back this way. With Rob’s escort, he could feel assured.

Rob also came out with them. Apart from the time he spent by Du Xixi’s side before, he was usually always by Chen Yin’s side, ensuring his safety.

Du Xixi’s lips were slightly pale as she shook her head to refuse, but Ke Lian nodded and agreed, "Then let’s trouble Rob."

Rob’s stability and speed were well-known, and seeing Du Xixi’s condition worsening, Ke Lian couldn’t care less about his grudges with Your Majesty and readily accepted his kindness.

Rob nodded slightly, still wearing his black outfit, and said respectfully, "You are too kind, Marshal. It’s Rob’s honor to escort the lady."

Lady? It should be ’madam’!

Ke Lian was slightly displeased with Rob’s address but was unwilling to waste time arguing. Seeing Rob quickly transform into the shape of a hovercar, he supported Du Xixi and quickly got in.

After closing the hovercar door, Ke Lian sat next to Du Xixi, holding her without letting go. When he saw a nearby blanket and cushion, he was momentarily stunned, then stuffed the cushion into Du Xixi’s arms and wrapped the blanket around her.

"Thank you," Du Xixi smiled gently. It was not a tender smile but a weak one, as her whole body was cold and trembling, lacking strength.

Ke Lian didn’t speak. He could feel his wife trembling slightly in his arms. He didn’t know why Du Xixi had suddenly become so weak, but he held her tightly, trying to warm the chilly girl with his body heat.

Rob also sensed Du Xixi’s frailty and silently increased speed. Ensuring safety, he successfully escorted Du Xixi and Ke Lian home in the shortest possible time.

Ke Lian carried Du Xixi in his arms, and after getting off the hovercar, he left without saying anything, not even acknowledging the approaching Ke Xing and Mo Ying, and hurried upstairs to carefully place Du Xixi on the bed.

promptly delivered a cup of warm water, the warmth soothing to the touch and throat. Du Xixi leaned against the bed, sipping slowly with Ke Lian’s help.

With half a cup of warm water consumed, Du Xixi began to feel warmth throughout her body. She waved the cup away and softly said, "Ke Lian, you and 2569 go out first. I’ll be alright after a nap."

When Ke Lian wasn’t around before, Du Xixi had experienced this situation too. The head of the military hospital suggested that Du Xixi’s body was still too weak, and apart from rest and nutrition, not much could be done.

Therefore, whenever she felt unwell, Du Xixi would lie down to rest, and 2569 would always bring a cup of suitably warm water to warm her up.

This harmonious scene, however, only served to make Ke Lian’s heart ache more. He noticed Du Xixi had already laid down skillfully, her pretty brows slightly furrowed, seeming to have quietly fallen asleep, clearly indicating occurrences of this nature were frequent.
