Chapter 493 - 167 Teasing
"Sir, the meal is ready." After Ke Lian took the two children away, 2569 went to the kitchen to prepare today’s dinner. By the time Du Xixi and the others returned, it was quite late, and the sky had already turned completely dark.
A few gusts of cold wind blew in from outside, causing Du Xixi to shiver slightly. Without needing Du Xixi to speak, a mechanical soldier standing by the door closed it.
Ke Lian glanced at the closed door, handed the two children to the approaching Ke Xing and Miao Miao, then helped Du Xixi get up. He draped a blanket over her as he slowly guided her to the dining table.
"What delicious food did 2569 make today?" Du Xixi rubbed her stomach, which was already empty, and it grumbled in response, right on cue.
Today, Du Xixi had only eaten a proper breakfast, and she only tasted a few bites of the Dong’an Chicken afterward. When calculated carefully, she hadn’t eaten anything for nearly ten hours, so it was no wonder she was starving.
As 2569 set the tableware on the dining table, he served different portions of white rice to everyone while saying, "Considering the lady is pregnant, I made the overall flavor of the dishes light for now. Besides the Dong’an Chicken the lady made this morning, I also prepared stuffed mushrooms, pork rib soup, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables."
Since 2569 considered Du Xixi, he also thought of the others: "Lord Ke Xing and Lord Ke Lian prefer stronger flavors, so I made poached sliced pork and pickled fish. Additionally, there’s the steamed bass that Miss Miao Miao loves."
With Ke Lian’s support, Du Xixi sat down, and 2569, having already served the rice, slid over and adorably wiggled its electronic screen: "When the lady’s taste preferences change in the future, I’ll make something different."
A pregnant woman’s taste is always changing. For instance, when Du Xixi was previously pregnant, she liked eating more sour things, and now Mo Ying is pregnant; although she also loves sour food, she enjoys sweet and spicy flavors too.
Du Xixi is a little over a month pregnant, and her current food preferences don’t seem much different from usual. But as the months go by, there’s no telling whether she’ll crave sour or spicy, sweet or salty flavors.
Bitter could be possible too?
"You’ve worked hard." Du Xixi patted its electronic screen. Seeing 2569 cheerfully slide away, she smiled, lowered her gaze, and adjusted the blanket Ke Lian had placed over her feet. "Is Miao Miao going back to Blue Star University tomorrow?"
Miao Miao has a two-day leave this time, but in the previous month and the one before, she only stayed home for two nights; she packed her bag and left early on the second day of her break.
Miao Miao had just placed the two children in their infant seats with Ke Xing and hadn’t had time to sit down. Hearing this, she paused and replied, "Yes, although there’s no class tomorrow, I’ve arranged with my classmates to study in the library."
Du Xixi thought for a moment and said warmly, "In that case, I’ll accompany Miao Miao back tomorrow. It’s a good time to tell Sister Lin You about my pregnancy."
Informing Lin You about her pregnancy was just giving a heads-up. After all, Du Xixi’s pregnancy wasn’t showing much at the moment, and she was healthy enough to travel back and forth. As the months progressed, traveling might become inconvenient.
She wasn’t asking for maternity leave but wanted Lin You to prepare in case in her last months, her belly became too heavy, and she couldn’t attend classes. Lin You could then adjust the schedule and have other professors cover for her.
Miao Miao didn’t mind, and spending more time with Du Xixi made her happier. She smiled and said, "Then I’ll accompany Miss to find Sister Lin tomorrow."
The patriarch, Ke Xing, placed two bowls of baby food in front of Yiyi and Er Er. He picked up his chopsticks and said while starting to eat, "With Miao Miao accompanying you, we’ll be at ease. But Ah Lan, you should apply to the Military Department first. In a few months, you’ll need to come home and accompany Xixi."
"Yes, I know." At this moment, Ke Lian was full of thoughts about Du Xixi. While using public chopsticks to serve Du Xixi with dishes on her plate, he responded softly.
After Mo Ying became pregnant, her body was weak, so Ye Wenting applied and stayed by her side. However, Du Xixi’s current pregnancy was stable, and Ke Lian’s position wasn’t something he could easily leave, so he had to wait a few months before taking leave.
Du Xixi glanced at Ke Lian, who was earnestly serving her food, and couldn’t help but smile. She pressed Ke Lian’s hand down and said, "Don’t serve me anymore; this much is already enough. If you serve more, I won’t finish it, and it’ll be wasted."
