CHAPTER 167: CHAPTER 58: CONGRATULATIONS GIFT, WHITE ROSE CAKE_2

Though both in the Military Department, Mo Ying isn’t a nobody, but as a workaholic, Ke Lian’s military duties occupy most of his time, so how could he pay attention to what Mo Ying likes?

Moreover, even though Du Xixi and Mo Ying’s relationship is getting better, Ke Lian rarely joins in to listen to the two sisters’ conversations, and Du Xixi doesn’t know Mo Ying’s preferences, so how could Ke Lian know?

Du Xixi and Ke Lian thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out what kind of gift Mo Ying would like.

As they thought until their heads started to ache, Du Xixi sighed lightly, stood up intending to take a walk in the garden, but her gaze inadvertently fell on the spot where the white roses were blooming brilliantly in the garden.

Roses... White roses... Oh white roses!

The thought of a gift sparked in Du Xixi’s mind. Excitedly, she patted Ke Lian’s arm, who had followed her, and smiled, "I have an idea for a gift, Sister Mo Ying will definitely like it!"

Upon hearing this, Ke Lian’s gaze lingered a while on the white roses too, but he couldn’t fathom what relation white roses had to a gift. Could it be that they were to simply give Mo Ying a bunch of white roses as a gift?

Thinking that Du Xixi wouldn’t offer such a simple gift, Ke Lian shook his head and didn’t ask about it, allowing Du Xixi, who was visibly happy, to pull him along for a slow walk in the garden.

But as they continued walking, Ke Lian noticed a few dark clouds appearing in the sky, and stars from light years away began to flicker repeatedly, so he held Du Xixi’s hand and led her back into the house.

The night air was heavy with moisture, and Ke Lian seldom let Du Xixi linger outside after nightfall, which wasn’t good for Du Xixi and the children.

Late at night when all was quiet, several small homes sat in solitude, as Du Xixi and Ke Lian returned to their room, and Miao Miao had already gone to bed. All three of them were full of anticipation about the dinner the next day.

...

Early the next morning, by the time Du Xixi got up, Ke Lian had already gone out. She didn’t mind that it was yet another morning without having breakfast with Ke Lian. After getting ready, she gave a few instructions to 2569, and then leisurely sat on the sofa with Miao Miao, waiting for the things she needed to be delivered to her.

Last night when she saw the white roses, she suddenly remembered Mo Ying seemed to have a fondness for her home’s white roses in the garden, sometimes turning her head for a glance when passing by.

Moreover, Du Xixi felt that the white roses greatly resembled Mo Ying.

Equally beautiful, equally dangerous.

Like white roses, Mo Ying displays a grace to those close to her, but also reveals sharp thorns to enemies or those she dislikes.

If someone dares to harm her, she would be prepared with her thorns, always ready to strike back.

However, though the white roses are lovely, they would be too plain as a gift, so Du Xixi planned to make a large cake for Mo Ying and Ye Wenting — decorated with many white roses made from cream.

Of course, Du Xixi thought it would be perfect to present a bouquet of freshly cut white roses along with the cake.

Du Xixi brought 2569 into the kitchen; Miao Miao didn’t follow. She too prepared a gift for Mo Ying and Ye Wenting but felt worried looking at her gift placed inside the small box.

Concerned that her gift might be too modest, and Mo Ying and Ye Wenting wouldn’t like it.

By three in the afternoon, Mo Ying had already arrived at the Ke Family’s home. As she stepped in, she saw a neatly wrapped gift box on the table, half her height, tied with a pretty ribbon bow on top.

"Is this the gift for me?" Mo Ying asked with a smile when she saw Du Xixi leading Miao Miao over, her eyes flashing with admiration.

Since a few hours later, when they would have dinner, apart from the knowing Mo Feng, others weren’t aware of Miao Miao’s special nature; hence Miao Miao donned her hooded gown again, though the color changed to light purple, showing a bit of girlish charm.

The large hood barely reaching her chin swayed with the girl’s steps, revealing perfect jawlines intermittently, catching glimpses of her slightly upturned mouth corners and soft baby-fat cheeks. It caused quite the curiosity about what face lay hidden beneath the hood.

It wasn’t just the mysterious Miao Miao that surprised Mo Ying. Adding to the sight was Du Xixi, who changed into a deep blue dress, appearing astonishingly beautiful to Mo Ying.
