Chapter 213: Chapter 73: The Chip Disappears, Miao Miao Sleeps_3
Chen Yin is the brother, Yiyi and Er Er are the children, Mo Ying is the sister, Ke Xing is the father... only Ke Lian is the true lover one can spend a lifetime with.
The director patted Du Xixi’s hand and said warmly, "I believe the Marshal thinks the same in his heart."
If there’s one thing the entire military hospital has come to understand thoroughly during Du Xixi’s long stay, it’s Ke Lian’s affection for Du Xixi.
Ke Lian can serve tea and water to his wife, personally get meals; he can wash her feet and massage them, support her; he can visit the military hospital to see his wife first thing after he finishes work; he can continually sleep on a chair beside Du Xixi’s bed for dozens of days, even when tired, he only massages his shoulders and waist and never utters a complaint.
Such a Ke Lian has captured the hearts of countless women in the hospital, but knowing he is a married man, everyone can only express their envy towards Du Xixi. As for jealousy and hatred? How could they be jealous? How could they hate?
Du Xixi is the eldest Miss of the Du Family, wealthy beyond measure! She is also acknowledged by His Majesty Chen Yin as his sister, one of only two Imperial Family members of the Empire!
She has wealth and looks, is knowledgeable, courteous, elegant, and dignified; nobody matches up to Ke Lian, nor surpasses Du Xixi, so they can only express their envy, without even having the right to think of jealousy or hatred.
The director’s free time lasted only for a morning, not even until lunch, before he was urgently called back by a phone call to perform surgery.
Regarding this, Du Xixi could only express her understanding.
She knows that as a doctor, especially as a director, he would naturally be very busy. For the director to take a morning to chat with her, Du Xixi was already very satisfied.
Du Xixi: For someone who’s been bedridden for dozens of days, whose only entertainment is talking to themselves in bed, a morning is already quite good! (Ｔ▽Ｔ)!
After lunch, Du Xixi was cradling a comically cute pillow from the 2569 brand, with a few furballs by her side, enjoying yet another afternoon of post-meal daydreaming.
"Xixi, the chip for 2569 has been recovered." Ke Xing suddenly spoke, his heavy voice immediately calling Du Xixi back from wherever her thoughts had wandered.
Du Xixi looked up and saw that Ke Xing was not looking at her; he was merely looking at his Light Computer, as if someone had sent him a message. Moreover... Du Xixi felt that the content of this message might not be good.
Her Light Computer had been quiet during this time, Ke Lian and the others were worried that any news might disturb her prenatal state, so they instructed everyone to report any urgent matters directly to Ke Lian and Ke Xing, so as not to burden Du Xixi.
So who sent the message, and what the content was, Du Xixi knew nothing about.
"Dad, is there a problem with 2569’s chip?" Du Xixi’s situation was much better than 2569’s and Miao Miao’s. 2569’s chip had not been recovered, and Miao Miao had not awakened, as if in a deep sleep.
"You can’t really say there’s a problem..." Ke Xing’s expression was very grave, but he was probably concerned about being in front of Du Xixi, fearing she’d worry, so he restrained his expression a bit, "His chip was secretly taken by people sent by the Morri Empire, before Zhang Xiong could get to it, so Zhang Xiong didn’t find it."
"The Morri Empire’s research institute conducted studies on 2569’s chip, hoping to find our Empire’s secrets from his program and memory bank." Ke Xing laughed coldly, not hiding the disdain in his eyes.
"But they don’t know that 2569’s program had long been modified by Ke Lian. As soon as someone uses an incorrect method to access 2569’s chip, all of 2569’s data transfers to a backup chip system, and the original chip’s data gets automatically erased—it’s basically a write-off."
After speaking, Ke Xing truly felt his son had remarkable foresight. Back then, he had already thought that an old-generation short-circuiting butler robot like 2569 was bound to encounter problems, so when upgrading its defense protection mode, he also modified the entire program.
If it weren’t for Ke Lian’s earlier precautions, all the things 2569 had listened to at the Ke Family could have been enough for the Morri Empire to exploit the Blue Star Empire heavily, leading to severe losses for the Blue Star Empire.
"So..." Du Xixi’s expression was unclear, "Can 2569 come back?"
To Du Xixi, 2569 was more than just a butler robot. Although 2569 frequently short-circuited, it was for this reason that he brought much joy and memories to Du Xixi. Moreover, 2569 often kept Du Xixi company when she was alone.
Ke Lian had to work, Ke Xing traveled, Miao Miao rarely spoke, often lost in books, Mo Ying was busy herself, and Mo Feng’s brothers couldn’t just visit without reason, so Du Xixi, alone at the Ke Family, relied on 2569 for amusement.
had an adorably silly appearance, a dorky and dumb-speaking style, and "quaint" emoji faces on its electronic monitor—these are things Du Xixi cannot bear to forget or lose. If 2569 really couldn’t return, a crucial part of Du Xixi’s life would be missing.
Thus, Du Xixi looked at Ke Xing expectantly, hoping to hear the answer she wanted from him.
