CHAPTER 150: CHAPTER 52 "TRAVELING INCOGNITO"_3
Mo Ying thought that she and Ye Wenting had gotten up quite early, but as soon as they went downstairs, Ke Xing had already finished breakfast and was preparing to go out for a walk, while Ke Lian, who made breakfast, had already been in the training room for quite a while.
Everyone talks about how high Ke Lian’s talent is and how strong his abilities are, but they instinctively overlook that the source of Ke Lian’s powerful strength is not just his innate talent, but also his continuous effort.
"Yes, indeed." Du Xixi felt a bit heartache for Ke Lian; ever since she married him, as long as the days Ke Lian is at home, his daily exercise never stops. Often, he gets up at dawn to train, and by the time she goes downstairs and finishes breakfast, Ke Lian might still not stop.
"What’s that saying? The most terrifying thing isn’t a genius, but a hardworking genius." Ye Wenting handed Mo Ying a cup of warm water, and after receiving a look of admiration from her, he smiled happily, "It’s precisely because Marshal works so hard that he has strength that can match him."
"That’s the kind of Marshal we admire." As Ye Wenting was speaking, he heard several claps from behind, and a masked man quickly walked in.
This man, whom Du Xixi found somewhat familiar, didn’t remove the mask immediately but stood by her side, glanced at Ye Wenting several times, then said with a smile, "This young man is quite good, speaking so nicely; Ke Lian should give him some reward!"
"Brother!" Du Xixi initially felt that the man’s exposed eyes were familiar, but upon hearing his voice, how could she not recognize him?
That’s right, the visitor was indeed Chen Yin, His Majesty Chen Yin, who was busy in the Imperial Palace.
"Good sister!" Chen Yin first smiled at Du Xixi, then took off his mask, breathing a sigh of relief as if freed, "It was really dangerous; many people recognized me on the way and almost blocked me."
"Why did you come here? Isn’t Rob with you?" Du Xixi became anxious, stood up and grabbed Chen Yin’s arm, carefully examining him for a while. Seeing no injuries, she sighed in relief and continued, "Are you not aware of your own status? What if you encounter danger!"
Mo Ying and Ye Wenting, seeing the visitor was the Empire’s Majesty, stood up immediately, intending to bow to Chen Yin.
Chen Yin hurriedly stopped them, allowing his sister to pull him to sit down, saying with a smile, "No need for so many formalities, Xixi’s home is my home. Forget my status; just treat me as Xixi’s brother."
Chen Yin was always someone who didn’t adhere strictly to etiquette, and the Blue Star Empire originally didn’t have so many binding formalities. As the ruler of a peaceful country, Chen Yin himself was annoyed by the fearful attitudes people had towards him.
Yes, he was the Majesty, but we’re all citizens of the same Empire. Why have so many etiquettes just creating distances? It’s understandable to heed status in the palace and during major events, but he secretly snuck out from the palace at the moment, naturally hoping not to be treated cautiously.
"Xixi, I’m here this time for a ’secret visit,’ first coming to your home. You can’t send me away!" Seeing Du Xixi questioning him about coming alone, Chen Yin smiled to appease her, "I miss you and my two nephews. I hardly have time for video calls when I’m back in the palace; it’s really boring."
Back in the palace, Chen Yin would work from day to night, and from night to day again. For someone who wasn’t a workaholic but was forced to become one, it was truly a hardship.
"But you still have to consider your own safety!" Du Xixi knew how busy Chen Yin was in the palace. After all, the siblings hadn’t had a video call for a long time; occasional contact, too, was only when Chen Yin spared time to send messages. By the time Du Xixi responded, Chen Yin would often take undetermined time to have spare moments to continue replying.
Chen Yin, knowing Du Xixi softened her stance not rushing him back to the palace, smiled and said, "If the Ke Family isn’t safe, the palace isn’t much safer. My good sister, just accompany your brother in chatting and let me rest more here."
Although Chen Yin sneaked out, he was very responsible, working overnight for several days, handling all the affairs that needed addressing for today and tomorrow, ensuring no urgent matters were left. Only then did he comfortably sneak out under Rob’s cover.
And besides, Rob isn’t merely a mecha; having been with Chen Yin for so many years, Rob can autonomously handle some simple tasks. If anything sudden arises, Rob can also somewhat manage.
If not, Rob can still connect with Chen Yin, and Chen Yin can handle matters online without issues.
Seeing the dark circles around Chen Yin’s eyes almost matching those of His Majesty the Iron-eating Beast, Du Xixi sighed and said softly, "Then take a good rest here, and go upstairs for a nap later."
