CHAPTER 166: CHAPTER 58: CONGRATULATIONS GIFT, WHITE ROSE CAKE

"Apart from you three, there’s also Mo Feng and those bratty boys." Mo Ying looked at the list, ensured there were no omissions, then displayed it to Du Xixi and Ke Lian, "Didn’t invite the elders, otherwise it would be too stuffy to eat."

In Blue Star, of course such a big occasion would require elders to be present, and even need them to preside over everything, but in the less ceremonious Star Era, elders at most have a role when discussing marriage, and once the official registration is completed, it’s up to the couple to handle everything.

Du Xixi nodded, thought for a moment, and suggested, "Why don’t I go over early, Ke Lian’s off work time is not until the evening, and I’ll be bored at home."

Although the days of pregnancy were enjoyable, with food, drinks, and people trying to make her laugh, Du Xixi was always someone who couldn’t sit idle. At home, she could only make some snacks and desserts to satisfy her cravings, and she was already feeling bored with it.

Although at Mo Ying’s house, she might also be stopped from showcasing her skills in the kitchen, at least Mo Ying could chat with her, which was somewhat more interesting.

It wasn’t that Miao Miao couldn’t talk, but Miao Miao was too reserved and quiet. When paired with Du Xixi, it was basically Du Xixi saying a lot, while Miao Miao would nod obediently, seriously chiming in a few words, and they couldn’t really chat!

"Alright! I’ll pick you up by then!" seeing Ke Lian nodding with her lips pursed, Mo Ying on the other end of the video call patted Ye Wenting’s thigh and decisively decided to personally come to the Ke Family’s place to pick up Du Xixi.

Du Xixi opened her mouth, feeling it was too troublesome, but Mo Ying interrupted her, quickly saying, "It’s settled then, Xixi, be a good girl and prepare the wedding gift at home, I’ll pick you and Miao Miao up!"

The video call was cut off by Mo Ying, leaving Du Xixi no chance to speak.

Du Xixi chuckled lightly, feeling that even though Mo Ying had grown her hair long and changed into a white dress, appearing more ladylike, her way of doing things and personality was still the Mo Ying she knew well.

"Why do you think Ye Wenting initially liked Sister Mo Ying?" Du Xixi was still quite curious about this question, occasionally thinking about it, but never reaching an answer.

Mo Ying liked Bai Zhan because they grew up closely together, so the love took root for decades, which Du Xixi could understand. But Mo Ying and Ye Wenting only met a few times many years ago, and could only be considered as being on nodding terms.

Could it be that those few meetings made Ye Wenting’s feelings for Mo Ying take root deeply? Was it love at first sight for Ye Wenting before any long-term plotting ?

Ke Lian, at this moment, stuffed the last bit of food into his mouth, seeing Miao Miao quietly push two glasses of water over, took one himself, and gestured for Du Xixi to drink some water to moisten her mouth.

"There’s many reasons to fall in love with someone: because of family background, because of looks, because of inner qualities, or even just because of a simple word or a smile." Ke Lian didn’t hide the affection in his eyes, looking at Du Xixi intently, "For example, I initially liked you because you were gentle, kind, and a great cook!"

Du Xixi: I admit the great cooking part, but gentle... kind... are you really talking about me?

Du Xixi felt Ke Lian might have had some misunderstanding about her initially, but didn’t know how to explain it, so she laughed awkwardly, changing the topic, "What should we prepare as a wedding gift for Sister Mo Ying?"

Ke Lian naturally didn’t know why there was awkwardness in Du Xixi’s smile, just frowned a bit, then smoothly followed her topic change, "I don’t know what Mo Ying likes, but I think I heard once that Ye Wenting likes experimental equipment."

"Gift experimental equipment?" Du Xixi scrunched her delicate brows, feeling that such a tailored gift might not be right, so she quickly shook her head, "Let’s think about what Sister Mo Ying likes."

For someone like Ye Wenting, who was a research fanatic, the things he liked were all peculiar, so it was better to start with Mo Ying. But what does Mo Ying like?

Du Xixi recalled memories of Mo Ying, only feeling that Mo Ying had very few hobbies. Eating, laughing, liking white, and nothing more, it seemed.

This question really stumped Ke Lian too, he wasn’t very familiar with Mo Ying. Before Du Xixi and Mo Ying knew each other, to Ke Lian, Mo Ying was just his good brother’s sister, a daughter of an aristocratic family.
