CHAPTER 192: CHAPTER 66: SNACKS THAT CAPTURE HEARTS_3

Du Xixi smiled helplessly, realizing she needed to do something, or else during the live stream, this couple in front of her might continue to treat her and Ke Lian with utmost respect.

Du Xixi went forward and took Lin Jie’s hand, saying, "No need for formalities like ’madam’ and ’sir.’ We’re just invited to participate in a live stream variety show, so let’s interact as friends."

Seeing Lin Jie ready to argue, Du Xixi smiled gently and invited the two to sit on the sofa, then said, "I’ll call you Sister Lin, and you call me Xixi, how about that?"

Nowadays, Du Xixi’s gentle demeanor is hard for anyone to refuse, especially since she’s quite attractive. Combining these qualities makes her persuasion doubly effective.

Indeed, Lin Jie softened. She looked into Du Xixi’s eyes and replied with a gentle smile, "Alright, I’ll take the liberty of calling you Xixi then."

With his wife softened, Chen Zhichen had no choice but to comply. He chuckled lightly and, while not as affectionate as Lin Jie with Du Xixi, still politely called her "Xixi."

But when Chen Zhichen turned to face Ke Lian, his expression became much more serious and even a bit trembling: "Ke Lian... Ke Lian, sir!"

Although Du Xixi looked strikingly charming, like a delicate lady, she always sported a smile. Being pregnant also made her appear particularly harmless, giving Chen Zhichen the courage to call her "Xixi."

But Ke Lian? In front of Du Xixi, he’s a tender husband, in front of Sun Mulin, a reliable brother, but in front of Chen Zhichen, he’s unattainable, exuding the aura of a deadly Marshal.

Du Xixi nudged Ke Lian’s shoulder with her elbow, and once his expression finally became "gentle," Du Xixi allowed herself to smile again. Yet, what appeared to be a gentle Ke Lian in Du Xixi’s eyes seemed fierce and ominous to Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie.

Chen Zhichen and Lin Jie: ...

What now, this is even scarier.

"We Are Husband and Wife" has become incredibly popular over so many seasons, and there’s a reason. Whether it’s the comparisons and intrigues among the ordinary couples or the warm chatter of Du Xixi and others now, it all makes the live stream audience find it very entertaining.

Especially with Du Xixi and the others, casually chatting about mundane affairs and little things between couples, it leaves everyone feeling incredibly at peace.

Lunchtime was approaching, and the specially delivered lunch was placed on the table. However, it wasn’t the "Stone Rice" Du Xixi and Ke Lian expected; instead, it was regular meat and vegetable dishes.

Amidst the rising steam, even if the dishes were somewhat diminished for unknown reasons, they still appeared enticingly moist.

"Is this..." Du Xixi and Ke Lian subtly exchanged looks as they sat down, recalling when Chen Yin invited them to a meal at the Imperial Palace during the National Day ceremony. At that time, Chen Yin seemed to have mentioned that with sufficient ingredients, normal dishes could be promoted in the Star Era?

Du Xixi had lived on one of the Primitive Planets for a while and knew the CD-0329 Star already had plenty of ingredients, so she had been quietly looking forward to the official promotion of gourmet food.

Just as Du Xixi was anticipating, she hadn’t even paid attention to any external news about gourmet food. So, could gourmet dishes really be served at the public’s table now?

Du Xixi smiled happily, but Chen Zhiqing’s words were like a cold shower on her joy.

"What is this? Is it food? Why is it different from what we usually eat?" Chen Zhiqing looked curiously at the full table of dishes, feeling they seemed different from the "Stone Rice" he gets to eat after becoming wealthy, "Could it be a new variety? I wonder how it tastes."

Du Xixi frowned. Chen Zhiqing is currently popular and has no shortage of money, so getting "Stone Rice" is entirely within reach. Yet, his lack of reaction to the normal gourmet spread and full curiosity led Du Xixi to realize she had guessed wrong.

Apparently, gourmet food hasn’t been widely promoted; it’s likely only circulating in a small circle. This variety show seems to have specially prepared it for her and Ke Lian.

Du Xixi guessed correctly. Gourmet food has been promoted by Chen Yin, but due to various reasons, so far only some upper-class families have the chance to taste it.

The chief director happens to be a member of one such upper-class family’s branch. After hearing Du Xixi and Ke Lian would participate in the show, he rushed to his main home to plead, and the elders finally agreed to provide it.

However, it’s only available for the three days and two nights while Ke Lian and Du Xixi are present. Once they leave, no matter who comes next, even if he gets lucky enough to have His Majesty Chen Yin come for a wedding, the main family won’t provide gourmet food anymore.

In short, this full table of gourmet dishes is entirely because of Du Xixi and Ke Lian’s presence here.
