Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

hear the words

Du Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, but she didn't press for answers. As long as she got the answer she was hoping for, nothing else mattered.

This banquet was actually sending a signal to the outside world: Kang'er, just like his name suggests, will recover his health soon.

There was no malicious rumor circulating outside, which further solidified the status of the royal family and the Beigong family.

So

Unlike the grand full-moon celebration that Mo Li and the others held for their babies, this banquet had a simplified process. Soon, Du Xiaoxiao lost her initial excitement and became somewhat bored, even complaining to Mo Li.

"Ugh, this is so boring. At first, I thought the banquet hall was decorated quite uniquely, but after actually seeing it, the process and procedures seem a bit too simple."

“I’ve watched the video of our baby’s one-month celebration at least three times. I still regret that I couldn’t attend. That was really something special.”

"It's not that I'm promising you that you can host the first birthday party and then we can do whatever you want. Besides, this party is just a formality, not something that's really going to be very interesting. The real protagonist won't be able to attend."

"All the guests were adults, and they preferred to use such occasions to expand their social circles and networks."

"When are we going back?"

The Emperor's deep, magnetic voice came through: "Now."

As he stepped forward, his deep, cold eyes instantly melted away, and he gently looked down at Mo Li:

"Are you tired? I've already spoken to Di Sa. This banquet is indeed a bit boring. Let's go home now."

"Okay, let's go."

"Great! I can finally go home. I miss my little ones so much. It's so much more fun playing with them. Sister, I've decided that for the next six months and beyond, I won't attend any banquets or parties except for our little ones' first birthday celebration."

"Okay, you can decide for yourself. I respect your choice."

after an hour

As soon as they stepped through the gate of the manor's main building, they heard the babies' sweet, childlike voices.

"Ma, go back..."

"want……"

"numb……"

"Dad, come back..."

"want……"

"one……"

Those who heard it were instantly moved to tears. Du Xiaoxiao was so touched by the last, unclear word that she burst into tears. If it weren't for the intervention of her brothers-in-law, she would have already rushed into her sister's sweet and soft arms.

"Waaaaah, I'm so touched, so touched. Our little ones are truly angels sent to us by God. It's not just us who miss them, our little ones miss us too."

"Go wash up quickly, then come down and hug the babies. I know you really want to be with them right now."

"Hehe, my sister understands me best."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a fragrant breeze swept by, and all that remained was her slender back as she quickly ran up the stairs.

"I need to go wash up and disinfect myself too."

A gust of wind also swept through Ye Zixuan.

After showing concern for Mo Li, Di Jue and the others went back to their own bedrooms to wash up.

Mo Li first stood a short distance away and greeted the children, gently telling them:

"Wait a moment, Mommy will go wash up and then come play with you. Otherwise, I'll be covered in germs, which is bad for you. If you get sick, you won't be able to play properly."

The babies are very intelligent and can fully understand what they hear. However, due to their physical development, they cannot yet express themselves well through language.

Furthermore:

The children in the interstellar world have all sorts of medicines, so they almost never get sick. Plus, they have Mo Li, their powerful mother, so it's even less likely that they'll get sick.

fifteen minutes later

The living room was filled with laughter...

"The kids are so good. They're usually asleep by this time every day, and today they were even waiting for Daddy, Mommy, and Auntie to come back. How can you all be so good to them?"

"Come here, little Ruibao, let me give you a hug, and let's play your favorite game of being lifted up high."

The others were each holding a baby in their arms, clearly adoring them.

Little Carp naturally clung to her favorite mom, making the other four kids very envious.

They played with them for about fifteen minutes, but eventually, unable to resist their body's natural biological clock, they all drifted off to sleep.

After settling the children in, Dongfang Yu looked at everyone and said, "I'll go and prepare a midnight snack for everyone with Chef Xiao."

"No need, we can just go to the dining table. I'll provide tonight's supper."

Even Ye Zixuan, the foodie, felt a little embarrassed: "Little sister Xiaoxiao, ever since you came to our house, you've been providing meals every day. If this continues, we don't know whether we should feel embarrassed or not."

"Don't be shy, you're all my family. Everyone is so kind to me, giving me so many gifts and so much pocket money so I can buy whatever I want..."

"They even provided me with extra 'specialties' so I could happily slack off. These are so important to me. It's just a few meals a day. There's really no need for them to feel bad about it, unless my brothers-in-law don't consider me family."

hear the words

No one said anything, but they secretly decided that they should still give her something in return, prepare some things she needed, and have their assistants prepare some gifts that girls like.

They are already married, so they naturally know how to avoid risks. Even if it is Mo Li's adopted sister, he will only personally prepare gifts for his wife. He has his own assistant to give gifts to others.

Sit down at the dining table

With a wave of Du Xiaoxiao's hand, the entire dining table was filled again. Unlike regular meals, this was a late-night snack.

The table was set with spicy crayfish, grilled lamb skewers, grilled chicken wings, grilled lamb chops, grilled beef tripe, grilled oysters, spicy grilled fish, spicy sea snails, grilled squid, fried chicken...

The drinks included ice-cold beer, cola, Sprite...

There's also a huge fruit brand that carries watermelon, cantaloupe, dragon fruit, strawberries, lychees, cherries, mangoes, blueberries, oranges...

Of course, there are also two incredibly extravagant items: roast suckling pig and roast lamb...

"It smells just like... no, let's just say, Xiaoxiao, you're really getting more and more extravagant. The situation is incredible. When you attended the banquet just now, you didn't eat anything, and you didn't even drink a drop of wine. Now your stomach is empty, and you can completely enjoy this sumptuous late-night snack."

It smells incredibly delicious; the air is filled with a fresh, spicy, and numbing aroma that makes you want to secretly swallow your saliva.

"Hehe, a late-night snack is bound to be plentiful, so don't be shy, eat as much as you want, there's more if you're still hungry."

Mo Li: "......"

This is truly her usual style.
