CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 46 EDAMAME_3

Surely it’s very cute!

Du Xixi chuckled awkwardly, unsure whether to reveal the "true identity" of these three fluffy balls.

At this moment, 2569 came to serve tea to Du Xixi and the others. Upon hearing Ke Xing’s words, it bluntly shattered his pleasant imagination: "These are Madam’s toys. Rob specifically begged them from the Iron-eating Beast for Madam."

didn’t know what it meant to speak bluntly or what "the wise adapt to circumstances" meant. It only knew how to answer its masters’ questions.

The fluffy balls were indeed Du Xixi’s toys, indeed begged from the Iron-eating Beast by Rob. It was merely speaking the truth; why did Ke Xing’s kind smile suddenly freeze?

Not understanding, 2569 finished serving the tea and just slid over to stand behind Du Xixi, alongside the little Lian Miaomiao.

Ke Xing’s joke caused quite the scene. Ke Lian and Du Xixi exchanged a glance, deciding to spare the old father some dignity and didn’t laugh. However, Mo Feng and the others were much less restrained, knowing Ke Xing wouldn’t be angry over such a small matter. Their laughter was as wild as could be.

Sun Mulin even laughed to the point of collapsing on the sofa, intermittently speaking: "Oh, I can’t take it anymore... Hahaha! Uncle Ke, you’re just too funny! Haha... You crack me up... Hahaha!"

Mistaking the daughter-in-law’s toy for the future grandson’s, Sun Mulin found no occasion more amusing than Ke Xing today.

Ke Xing, like the previous Ke Lian, gave Sun Mulin a half-smiling look and murmured softly: "I think Ah Lan was right; maybe you’re more suited for a lesson!"

Mo Feng and the others had always interacted with the Ke Family. Sun Mulin, especially, had known Ke Lian since childhood, so it wouldn’t be too much to say Ke Xing was like another father to him.

Father is about to discipline the son, how could the son not be terrified? Sun Mulin was even more scared than when facing Ke Lian earlier: "No! I’m not suitable at all! How could the word ’amusing’ match someone like you, such a majestic figure! To me, you’re more like..."

"Stop! You’re barely qualified!" Ke Xing covered his ears, shaking his head helplessly.

The elders of the Sun Family were all educated and cultivated instructors, having produced no less than twenty renowned professors, so why was Sun Mulin, as the sole successor, such a lively character?

Sun Mulin immediately began to swagger, completely lacking the previous attitude where he was about to start showering compliments. This made the nearby Diwu Qian frown in exasperation: "I think what’s suitable for you might be a psychiatric evaluation."

Mo Feng clutched his belly, struggling not to laugh: "Indeed!"

Sun Mulin didn’t mind his two brothers’ teasing, huffing and turning his head to the side, only to face the door where he saw a man in a black suit walking in.

He then composed himself, showing some confusion. Strange, the Ke Family’s alarm system was the most sensitive, and outsiders couldn’t set foot inside. How could this stranger enter without a trace?

Moreover... this man looked somewhat familiar!

Everyone noticed Sun Mulin’s change; Mo Feng and Diwu Qian were naturally as curious as Sun Mulin, while Ke Xing and the others greeted the man casually, even Lian Miaomiao nodded politely as a greeting.

"Rob?" Mo Feng had also been present during the National Day ceremony, although he was down below, as one of those receiving the parade.

Rob was the captain of the Empire’s Guard Team. Apart from the people inside the Imperial Palace who could often see it, others could only occasionally see it by Chen Yin’s side.

There were special cases too, like Mo Ying, who had once seen Rob’s mecha prototype by chance, which is why she immediately recognized it when she saw Rob flying off with the prototype from the Ke Family.

On the National Day ceremony day, to protect Chen Yin’s safety, Rob naturally appeared alongside him, and it was Rob who went to the palace gate to welcome Du Xixi and Ke Lian.

The mention of Rob made Sun Mulin and Diwu Qian realize who it was, and they immediately sat up straight and showed a bit of respect toward Rob.

Though Rob was a mecha, a powerful mecha with autonomous action abilities, its thinking and emotions differing from humans, it was worthy of respect wherever it went.

Beneath the law, it was survival of the fittest, an unchanging ancient survival rule.

Rob didn’t even glance at the three strangers who stood in respect; it just moved over to Du Xixi and knelt on one knee, presenting a bag of green ingredients to her.

Du Xixi peeked inside and saw green ingredients like little beans, each with tiny, dense fuzz. She picked one up to look at it and revealed a happy smile: "These are edamame!"
