Chapter 286: Chapter 98 The Banquet Begins
Er Er’s gesture might have been unconscious, but when Du Xixi saw it, she couldn’t help but amusingly tap Er Er’s little cheek, then picked up a cloth to wipe Yiyi’s mouth. She said, "Look, our Er Er is reminding his brother to wipe his mouth!"
Ke Lian also laughed. He patted his silly smiling eldest son’s head, and when he saw him drooling mid-laughter, he paused for a moment, then took the cloth from Du Xixi’s hand and carefully wiped him.
"Madam, the Master wants to discuss something important with you and the Marshal!" Rob spoke up at this moment, its emotionless cold mechanical voice reaching Du Xixi and Ke Lian’s ears, causing them to exchange a glance, with deeper thoughts that had been concealed, now surfacing.
From the moment they first received the invitation, Du Xixi and Ke Lian had sensed that something significant was about to occur due to the title on it, but they hadn’t paid much attention to it. However, with Rob saying this, the worries Du Xixi and Ke Lian had set aside now floated to the surface.
They’re not worried about what Chen Yin might do; after all, Chen Yin wouldn’t harm Du Xixi or those she cares about. But they were concerned that the significant matter Chen Yin wanted to discuss with them might truly be too "big", so much so that...
It could change the rare peaceful situation they are currently in!
Ke Lian held the slightly anxious Du Xixi’s hand, gently patting it, using this silent gesture to soothe her inner worries. Du Xixi lowered her eyes and turned her hand slightly, holding Ke Lian’s hand.
No matter how tumultuous the situation becomes, they would face it together.
If that’s the case, why worry?
When they arrived at the Imperial Palace, the hovercar that Rob had transformed into passed through each checkpoint unhindered, and they went straight to Chen Yin.
Chen Yin was simply dressed in casual clothes, with no one by his side, standing there with a friendly smile, seemingly just there to welcome Du Xixi and Ke Lian.
Du Xixi got out of the hovercar, not worrying how Ke Lian and Ke Xing were going to carry the two sons afterward. She was already smiling at Chen Yin who walked up to her, "Brother, long time no see!"
After the end of Chen Yin’s "birth accompaniment plan," Du Xixi barely saw him, only occasionally able to exchange a few concerned words during video calls. So upon meeting this time, even with matters in her heart, Du Xixi was sincerely happy to see Chen Yin again.
"Indeed!" Considering Du Xixi is a grown lady, Chen Yin, as her brother, held back from being too close and chose just to pat Du Xixi’s head. Seeing her rosy face and bright eyes, he also revealed a happy smile, "Seeing you doing well, I’m relieved."
Being a brother, naturally, he would worry about his sister not living well in her husband’s family, even though Ke Lian and Ke Xing treat Du Xixi well and are honest people, incapable of any disgraceful deeds, yet Chen Yin never hesitated in his concern for Du Xixi.
Sensing Chen Yin’s intent of concern, Du Xixi smiled shyly, about to speak a few good words for Ke Lian and Ke Xing, just as Ke Lian and Ke Xing walked over. Du Xixi felt even shyer, swallowing all the words at the tip of her tongue.
Both were carrying a child, hearing Chen Yin and Du Xixi’s conversation, they didn’t find Chen Yin’s concern superfluous but were very happy he cared so much about Du Xixi.
Ke Lian held Er Er, letting Er Er rest his head on his shoulder, then said to Chen Yin, "Your Majesty, aren’t there matters you wanted to discuss with my wife and me? We can do it now."
Chen Yin’s smile didn’t falter for a moment, instead, he discreetly looked around. Seeing Rob had reverted to human form, he relaxed.
He had Rob watch outside, while he led Du Xixi and her family into the modest palace in front, then said, "The matter I want to discuss with you is actually related to Xixi and the two children..."
Chen Yin spoke slowly with a serious expression, causing Du Xixi and the other two adults to gradually become serious, especially Du Xixi. She looked at the two unaware children and pursed her lips.
"Brother... I agree!"

"Madam’s skin is really nice!" Du Xixi sat in the chair while the stylist arranged by Chen Yin was gently working on her hairstyle. At this moment, the stylist, noticing Du Xixi’s flawless skin, half praised and half envied, said this.
