CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 60 THE WEDDING BANQUET PROCEEDS

The young man’s apology, Du Xixi and her two friends neither refused nor accepted, they just watched as he nodded solemnly at them, then decisively turned around, lifted his foot and... gave them a rather perfect, flat-ground fall.

Du Xixi and her friends: ...

Du Xixi supported her waist with one hand and touched her pregnant belly with the other, her gaze slowly moving downward, fixing on the small patch of ground the young man had just walked over, confirming it was completely empty and flat.

So, why did he fall? Did he step on his own foot?

The young man, thinking himself very unlucky, didn’t expect to be so clumsy that he couldn’t even walk steadily. After quietly getting up, he stood stunned for a while, then under the gaze of the equally stunned Du Xixi and her friends, he ran off in big strides.

Du Xixi and her friends exchanged glances, feeling it might be somewhat unethical to laugh at a young man who had run far away, so they suppressed their laughter and turned to head towards Mo Ying’s new house.

A lot of time had already been delayed, and now that Du Xixi was heavily pregnant, reaching there earlier would allow her to rest sooner.

They hadn’t walked far when Miao Miao suddenly sensed something, turned her head to glance in the direction where the young man ran off, and then through the small holes inside her hood, she could see the figure seemingly lying on the ground rather clearly.

Miao Miao: ...

Sorry to disturb you.

Miao Miao turned her head, picking up her pace to catch up with Du Xixi. She was sure that if she looked for even one second longer, those suppressed laughs would surely burst from her mouth.

Du Xixi and her friends quickly covered the remaining hundred meters or so of their journey. Ye Wenting seemed to be deliberately waiting at the door, and before they got close, they saw Ye Wenting and a tall, robust butler robot beside him.

As they drew nearer, Ye Wenting hurried to take the huge wedding gift from Mo Ying’s hand, cautious not to tire his newly wedded wife, but Mo Ying unceremoniously pushed him aside, saying, "Forget it, you might not even be as strong as Xixi!"

Mo Ying had undoubtedly exaggerated; although Ye Wenting was a research scientist with little exercise, he was still stronger than Du Xixi. Of course, he couldn’t match the stronger Mo Ying, who received training.

"Then let 3533 take it, so you don’t get tired!"

was the butler robot in Mo Ying and Ye Wenting’s new house, the latest model capable of both literacy and martial skills, programmable, and good at fighting, perfectly matching Ye Wenting and Mo Ying’s preferences.

Its number was precisely 3533.

had already stepped forward, intending to take the item from its mistress’s hand but was rejected by Mo Ying after a moment’s hesitation: "This is a gift Xixi made for me, it’s precious, 3533 is too clumsy, I’d better carry it myself."

Mo Ying didn’t know what Xixi made, but as it was a wedding gift to celebrate her marriage and so large, it was unlikely to be cuisine that could be handled roughly.

Thus, throughout the journey, Mo Ying carefully carried it. Even when standing in front of Du Xixi blocking the young man, she held the cake box slightly away, preventing any large movements from damaging the delicacies within.

Mo Ying carried the half-body-high cake box in one hand, holding the hand of Ye Wenting, who wore a helpless expression, with the other as they walked into their new home.

Du Xixi and Miao Miao were given a warm welcome by 3533, with it smiling respectfully at them and making a typical butler robot gesture of bowing, inviting them inside: "Marshal’s Wife, Miss Miao Miao, I’m delighted to welcome you both as guests, please come in!"

Du Xixi held Miao Miao’s hand as they were courteously and warmly led into the villa by 3533. Soon, they saw Ye Wenting and Mo Ying standing in the living room, discussing something. 3533 then retreated to the side, ready to follow its master’s orders at any moment.

Mo Ying seemed to be coquettishly humming at Ye Wenting before striding over to Du Xixi’s side, complaining, "Xixi, I was all set on cooking personally for you, but Wenting won’t allow it, planning to monopolize the kitchen himself!"

"Does Ye Wenting also cook?" Du Xixi raised her eyebrows, seeing that Mo Ying rarely showed this shy side, she smiled and nudged her closer to Ye Wenting, "Your Wenting cares for you!"

Ye Wenting took the moment to tightly hold Mo Ying’s hand, who hadn’t yet responded, then smiled at Du Xixi, saying, "It was Yingying who taught me to cook. Usually, I cook for her, so I’m quite practiced."
