CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 140: 3 NOT-STICKING (PART 2)_3

Du Xixi had heard similar statements while on Blue Star, but she didn’t really believe them herself. However, in Rome do as the Romans do; since it’s commonly followed interstellar, Du Xixi saw no need to argue against it vehemently—just go with the flow.

After all, it wouldn’t make a difference to anyone.

Moreover, although Ke Lian’s generation had good relations with the Mo Family, Ke Xing and Mo’s father and mother had only an amicable relationship, not close enough for frequent visits. Ke Xing’s visit to congratulate at this time might seem too familiar, making people uncomfortable.

"I plan to visit Sister Mo Ying in the afternoon and bring her some snacks that pregnant women usually like." Du Xixi herself was familiar with the experience; though she had the Purification Talent to help, she didn’t suffer much in the later stages. "Miao Miao, you can come with me. Sister Mo Ying will be happy to see Miao Miao."

Miao Miao had spent some time beside Mo Ying before and got along very well with her. It seemed there wouldn’t be too many guests disturbing the Mo Family, and since Miao Miao was a familiar sister to Mo Ying, it was perfectly reasonable for Du Xixi to bring her along.

"Great, I’ve prepared a gift for the baby. I’ll bring it over in the afternoon and ask Sister Mo Ying to keep it safe until the baby is born, then Sister Mo Ying can give it to the baby." Miao Miao smiled gently, patting a small box placed on the coffee table.

The small box was about the size of a palm, made of wood, and looked unremarkable from the outside. Du Xixi found this box somewhat familiar, thought for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise: "If I’m not mistaken, the gift you gave at Sister Mo Ying’s wedding was in a similar wooden box."

Back then, when Mo Ying and Ye Wenting got married, both Du Xixi and Miao Miao gave them wedding gifts. Miao Miao’s gift was a pair of heart-shaped translucent stone bracelets, boxed in a similar small wooden box.

Miao Miao chuckled, took the small box, opened it, and inside was a stone bracelet. But compared to the stone bracelet given to Mo Ying and Ye Wenting, this one was clearly more refined and beautiful, with stones of a kind that weren’t common.

"Back then, I couldn’t get better stones, so I picked half-transparent stones with good coloring from the yard. Fortunately, Sister Mo Ying and Brother-in-law Wen Ting didn’t mind." Miao Miao sighed softly, eyes showing nostalgia, "This stone was found for me by the Iron-eating Beast, a rare mineral. Although it can’t compare with Energy Stones, it’s the best mineral I could obtain."

The Iron-eating Beast Empire had a good relationship with the Blue Star Empire, and the Iron-eating Beast respected Du Xixi greatly. Thus, Miao Miao, who stayed beside Du Xixi as a "Beast Clan kin," was lucky enough to befriend the Iron-eating Beast and exchange Light Brain Numbers.

Only yesterday did she learn about Mo Ying’s pregnancy; it seemed Miao Miao wouldn’t have had time to ask the Iron-eating Beast for a favor. But coincidentally, the Iron-eating Beast had just found a beautiful rare mineral source near the Blue Star Empire, and with overnight transportation, it was delivered here before dawn.

The Iron-eating Beast sent Miao Miao a beautiful mineral, purple-blue and thumb-sized, as if containing the entire interstellar within it, as a gesture of friendship.

Upon first sight, Miao Miao loved the mineral but didn’t intend to keep it for herself. She had it polished and pierced quickly, ready to personally give this stone bracelet to Mo Ying when she visited.

In the Beast Clan, stones are given not only to newlyweds but also to newborn babies—stones carry the supreme blessing of the Beast Clan.

"You’ve put so much effort into it, Sister Mo Ying will be delighted." Mo Ying’s personality seemed bold, but she was meticulously thoughtful. Once someone caught her eye, they would always be cherished dearly.

Not to mention the precious mineral Miao Miao is sending today, even if Miao Miao picked up a river pebble herself, Mo Ying would be delighted for half a day.

They chatted a few more lines, during which 2569 had prepared breakfast for Du Xixi—fragrant white porridge and freshly pickled vegetables, accompanied by crispy-bottomed pan-fried buns. Du Xixi ate so much her mouth was full of flavor, and only after rubbing her slightly rounded belly could she walk normally.

"Madam, would you like some digestion tablets?" 2569 was surprised that the Madam appreciated its cooking so much. Usually, she would stop at seventy percent full, yet today she finished everything. But amidst the joy, it brought digestion tablets, respectfully offering them to Du Xixi.

With her stomach still feeling stuffed, Du Xixi didn’t hold back and took a tablet to dissolve in her mouth.

She rarely ate so "indulgently"; presumably, it’s because Mo Ying is pregnant, and she’s in a good mood, temporarily losing control of her appetite and couldn’t restrain her eating non-stop, resulting in her overeating.
