CHAPTER 416: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 141 OFFICIALLY STARTING THE SYSTEM (PART 1)_2

"Why are you laughing? Didn’t you say you’d bring me some snacks? Quickly, take them out and let me see!" Mo Ying noticed that Du Xixi was laughing quite suddenly, a bit confused, but she assumed it was because of what Ye Wenting had just said, so she didn’t think much of it. She simply shook Du Xixi’s arm and actively asked for her gift.

Du Xixi had already informed Mo Ying before coming, so Mo Ying knew that both Du Xixi and Miao Miao had prepared gifts for her. She looked at Du Xixi with great anticipation and also winked at Miao Miao, who was glancing over from not far away.

"Your 3533 is helping to move it in, don’t worry!" Du Xixi helplessly tapped her forehead, feeling that Mo Ying sometimes seemed more like a seventy-year-old younger sister, while Miao Miao had already walked over quietly.

Miao Miao came over on her own; clearly, the elders from both families didn’t intend to disturb the conversation among the younger ones and had already gone to a distant table and chairs to have tea.

Knowing that Mo Ying was eagerly waiting for her gift, Miao Miao smiled and took out a palm-sized box from her pocket. Before leaving, she had tied a pretty red bow on it, which was now trembling as if it were a lively red butterfly.

Miao Miao quietly took a breath, handed the box properly to Mo Ying, who also bit her lower lip lightly as she opened it. Almost instantly, she exclaimed in amazement: "Oh my! What a beautiful stone!"

The violet-blue stone lay obediently in the box, with a matching bracelet cord passing through the small hole at the top, looking almost seamlessly integrated.

Women have no resistance to beautiful things, and the stone looked even more stunning under the soft light, so it was no wonder Mo Ying reacted this way.

"Is it Red Star Ore?" Ye Wenting, who had some knowledge of ores, leaned in for a look and was also a bit surprised. "There are no Red Star Ore sources within our Blue Star Empire anymore; this gift from Miao Miao is too precious."

Ye Wenting didn’t have much interaction with Miao Miao, only knowing her as Du Xixi’s little sister, whom she kept close. She even learned about Miao Miao’s unique appearance from Mo Ying the last time he came home.

But having little interaction didn’t mean Ye Wenting didn’t understand what kind of person Miao Miao was. Gentle, shy, polite, kind... The deepest impression Miao Miao left on Ye Wenting was when she gave a pair of stone bracelets to him and Mo Ying during their wedding.

Honestly, it was the simplest gift Ye Wenting had ever received, but the blessings it carried were genuine. He didn’t expect that so much time had passed, he and Mo Ying already had a child, and Miao Miao’s gift was still a stone bracelet.

However, compared to the pair of stone bracelets from before, this bracelet made of Red Star Ore was indeed much more valuable. In the market, even an ordinary piece of Red Star Ore, due to its beautiful appearance, could be sold at a premium.

Thinking of this, Ye Wenting took another look at the stone bracelet. The Red Star Ore was richly colored and exquisitely shaped. It was clearly the best piece among the Red Star Ore, worth at least as much as three villas in the villa district.

Although Mo Ying mostly immersed herself in the Military Department, she was also a woman who loved beauty. She knew a bit about ores that could be made into jewelry, so she recognized the Red Star Ore at this moment.

She sighed inwardly, surprised that Miao Miao, when she finally decided to act, would do something so astonishing!

Seeing that both Mo Ying and Ye Wenting intended to decline, Du Xixi didn’t say a word, waiting for Miao Miao to handle it. And Miao Miao, sincerely wanting to give the gift, didn’t think it unworthy to give away the Red Star Ore she obtained from the Iron-eating Beast at the cost of a favor.

She shook her head at Mo Ying and Ye Wenting, saying before they could decline, "If Sister Mo Ying and Brother-in-law Wen Ting don’t mind, your child will one day call me Auntie. Could it be that as an Auntie, I can’t even give a piece of stone?"

Upon hearing this, Du Xixi first sighed inwardly, amazed that this little girl, who barely loved to talk and was always buried in books, could actually say something so smooth—it not only blocked Mo Ying and Ye Wenting’s attempt to return the Red Star Ore but also brought everyone closer.

Miao Miao had, in the end, grown up.

Mo Ying and Ye Wenting were indeed persuaded by Miao Miao’s words. The couple exchanged a glance, and it was Mo Ying who helplessly smiled and said to Miao Miao, "Then we’ll accept it, and when the child is born, we’ll personally put it on him."
