CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 154 LATE RETURN_2

Although hovercars don’t need to run on the ground, traditional car designs have been preserved, and hovercars still have four wheels just like automobiles on Blue Star.

Du Xixi’s gaze froze for a moment on the rear wheel. Her eyesight was sharp, and despite the increasingly deep night, she still made out what she needed by the faint moonlight.

There was a small, solidified bloodstain on the rear wheel.

Judging by the looks, it seemed quite recent.

"What’s wrong?" Ke Lian hadn’t noticed the change in Du Xixi’s expression when she turned around, but he did sense a momentary stiffness in her body. Puzzled, he looked over, his tone concerned.

Ke Lian worried that Du Xixi might be feeling cold, while Du Xixi concealed the turmoil in her heart, tucked her hair behind her ear again, and maintained a calm and peaceful smile: "Nothing, it’s inexplicably cold tonight; let’s head inside quickly."

Mo Feng has a carefree personality and was previously distracted by a flower that bloomed unknowingly, so he didn’t notice Du Xixi’s odd behavior. Upon hearing her words, he shivered slightly and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it’s cold; let’s move faster!"

"Well, it’s okay if Fengzi feels cold, but it’s bad if Xixi does." Ke Lian glanced at Mo Feng behind him, and with complete "cold indifference", he left his brother behind and quickened his pace, leading Du Xixi quickly towards home.

Mo Feng was taken aback, not expecting to taste so much "dog food" even in this situation. However, as he was dazed, Du Xixi and Ke Lian had already reached the door, prompting him to shout in frustration and hurry to catch up: "Wait for me!"

Faced with Mo Feng’s silly personality, Du Xixi and Ke Lian exchanged a glance and could only smile helplessly. As the warm light from inside the house bathed them, Du Xixi felt her previously heavy heart lighten a bit.

The three changed their shoes and saw Ke Xing beckoning them from the dining table, so they all walked over together. Du Xixi saw her two sons sitting in baby seats giving her adorable smiles. Her heart eased further, and her smile took on a more maternal affection.

Ke Lian held Du Xixi’s hand, reluctantly letting go only when they reached the table. Nevertheless, he pulled out a chair for her and thoughtfully pushed it in.

"Thank you." Du Xixi tilted her head slightly, whispering thanks to Ke Lian, who responded by affectionately touching her nose: "Are we still being polite between us?"

Their children were almost one year old, so indeed, Du Xixi and Ke Lian didn’t need to be so formal. Thus, Du Xixi laughed coyly, then said quite "unfortunately": "No more thanks!"

"Silly girl!" Ke Lian shook his head helplessly and took a seat beside Du Xixi. As the couple glanced up simultaneously, they met the gaze of Ke Xing and Mo Feng.

In their eyes, there was a mutual understanding revealing two words—speechless!

Du Xixi was embarrassed, realizing that her recent interactions with Ke Lian had been witnessed by Ke Xing and Mo Feng. Her cheeks began to blush, just as Ke Lian casually remarked: "Isn’t it right to flaunt affection with my wife?"

"Right, right! Whatever you say is right!" Mo Feng had come to the Ke Family to bum a meal; however, he wasn’t looking to indulge in "dog food," hence he waved his hand, feeling a bit toothache, and turned to 2569: "Bro, let’s eat!"

The bowls for serving food were all gathered by 2569. Eating was usually facilitated by 2569, so whether to eat and when to eat was indeed "decided" by 2569.

"No need to hurry, Master Mo Feng! I’ll serve the food shortly!" Ke Lian had returned late, worried the dishes might have gotten cold, so 2569 had placed them in the warming cabinet. They had just been brought out, and the rice kept warming in the rice cooker, now releasing billowing white steam.

Following the database records, 2569 served different portions of rice for each person. Du Xixi’s was the lightest, while the other three—Ke Lian included—had hearty appetites, making her small bowl appear almost insignificant.

"Let’s eat." With the head of the family Ke Xing issuing "the order," everyone, including the two little ones, picked up chopsticks or spoons without hesitation.

Du Xixi’s gaze swept over everyone’s rice bowls, her mouth twitching uncontrollably, but she also felt she should have been used to it. After all, her brother was someone who could devour two whole chickens and ducks without batting an eye, so Ke Lian’s appetite...
