Chapter 1447: Chapter 563: Fried Date Cake Fresh Out of the Pot, Absolutely Delicious! Master’s Wedding Doesn’t Seem Happy! [Extra Update 4]_3

After she and Dou Wenjing hurriedly left, Geng Lele also came in front of Dundun. He took out a plush hippo about one foot high from his crossbody bag and placed it on the service counter:

"Dundun, here’s your New Year gift! Wishing you a Happy New Year!"

After saying that, she raised her hand to pat the hippo’s head. The hippo’s eyes immediately lit up, and electronic synthesized sounds came from its body:

"Hello Dundun, Happy New Year!"

After another pat, the hippo’s two front legs actually moved twice, and the electronic synthesized sound rang again:

"Dundun, can I be your friend?"

Geng Lele pressed its right ear, turning off the lights in the hippo’s eyes, putting it into a shutdown mode:

"I wanted to make you a little kitten companion, but my skills are not quite up to par yet. I need more practice, and also need to further learn programming and electronics. So, let the little hippo accompany you for now. I’ve installed over a hundred sentences and dozens of actions for you to explore gradually."

Dundun circled around the cute and goofy plush hippo twice, then rubbed its furry head against Geng Lele, which made her extremely delighted:

"Ha, is this your way of saying thanks, darling? Thank you, next time I’ll make something else for you so you can have a whole gang of little buddies."

Dundun became even happier, wagged its tail slightly, and then began cuddling the hippo to play.

Without any interruption, Geng Lele proceeded upstairs, prepared to try the newly fried date cake, and have some lunch before heading back to school for more study in the afternoon.

"Lele, you finally made it, come try this! It’s super delicious, truly amazing."

Shen Jiayue handed over a small basket of fried date cake.

Once Geng Lele picked it up, she also took out a red envelope from her bag:

"Here’s your lucky money."

Geng Lele murmured thanks indistinctly, then immersed herself into the delicious taste of the fried date cake.

Lin Xu came out from the kitchen, carrying an insulated food box filled with paper-bag-packed fried date cake, and greeted Geng Lele.

After finding out that she hadn’t had a meal yet, he asked the kitchen staff to bring over a stew and rice.

"Lele, take your time eating. We’re going to Master’s place for a while..."

"Sure, go ahead. After my meal, I’m heading to school. I plan to use this winter break to catch up on my studies and surprise my godfather."

Lin Xu, not understanding the genius world, only felt that such topics seemed a bit alien to him, a graduate of Central Finance University.

Having successfully passed the tough exam from Yinzhou to get into Central Finance back in the day, he thought he could boast about it for a while, but after comparing with Geng Lele, he always felt a sense of being overwhelmed.

Downstairs, Lin Xu initially intended to bring Dundun along, but unexpectedly found this little guy engrossed in playing with a cute and goofy little hippo.

"This is Lele’s New Year gift to Dundun, it’s a talking little robot."

Song Tiantian explained the origin of the hippo to Lin Xu, which left him a bit surprised — he hadn’t anticipated that Geng Lele could even make things like this?

It seems Cui Qingyuan’s study pressure hasn’t reached this girl’s limits yet.

Such talent, really enviable.

Outside, he and Shen Jiayue drove according to the address, arriving at the gate of an upscale residential complex a few kilometers away, got clearance from security, and drove inside.

This was Master’s home, though he should often stay at another place on Yingchun Street, as he found the house too spacious and empty.

For someone with multiple houses, such operations are common.

Too noisy upstairs?

Roadworks at the doorstep?

Renovations downstairs?

No problem, just move to another house.

Arriving at the bottom of Master’s apartment building, Lin Xu parked the car in a street-side spot. Just as he got out of the car, he saw his brother’s Cayenne turning in.

He waved his hand, Xie Baomin parked the Cayenne next to Lin Xu’s car.

The car door opened, Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang brothers got out of the car first, Lin Xu immediately took out two red envelopes from his bag and handed them over:

"Yufei, Yuhang, Happy New Year to both of you. Here’s your lucky money."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

The brothers expressed their thanks while accepting the envelopes but were promptly pulled aside by Su Peipei.

Clearly, the thick lucky money was to be confiscated.

After all, young ones having tens of thousands in cash isn’t exactly reasonable.

Xie Baomin got down from the car, opened the trunk, and took out a bag, smiling as he said:

"Master asked what I was doing at home. I said steaming meat rolls, but he insisted I should bring some over... What did you bring, Junior?"

"Fried date cake."

"Alright, today’s main dishes are set. Let’s see what dishes Master will cook..."

The group arrived at the entrance of the apartment building, just about to ring the doorbell when the door opened. Two elderly people, presumably out for a walk, came out from inside.

If that’s the case, there’s no need to ring the doorbell; everyone walked straight in, got into the elevator, pressed for the 26th floor, and quickly reached the upper floor.

Exiting the elevator, Lin Xu discovered a layout where two elevators served one unit. There’s only one door in the stairwell, with spring couplets pasted on it.

"This is Master’s home, Yufei, Yuhang, go knock on the door."

Xie Yufei knocked on the door twice, and shortly after, the door opened and they were greeted with English:

"Come in!"

English?

While puzzled, Lin Xu saw Lucy peeking out from the doorway, urging them once again as everyone stood dumbfounded:

"Come in!"

She even repeated in not-so-fluent Chinese:

"Quickly come in!"

What’s going on? Has the Master been with Aunt Luo for so long, but eventually chose Lucy?

Lin Xu, full of doubts, smiled at Lucy, stepped inside, and finally noticed Lucy wearing an apron, with hands covered in flour.

A full-fledged housewife appearance.

Oh dear, having received six kilograms of gold bricks from Aunt Luo, but Master ended up marrying someone else, what now? Return the gold bricks?

While lost in chaotic thoughts, Luo Shan, dressed in casual home attire, came over:

"Welcome, welcome. Thank you for attending our wedding feast, it’s simple and humble food, please don’t mind... Xiao Shuai, stop kneading dough over there, your disciples are here, come greet them."

What’s going on?

Three people?

At this point, not only Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue felt baffled but even the seasoned Xie Baomin looked wide-eyed in surprise, never anticipating today’s situation.

Sure, Master’s got it, just a cut above the rest!

As they headed inside, Shen Jiayue squeezed Lin Xu’s hand with a "don’t you dare mimic Master" kind of stance, while Su Peipei pinched old Xie’s waist.

In the living room, Lucy warmly served tea to everyone, while Luo Shan brought out a bunch of snacks and treats.

Only Master Gao Daye came out of the kitchen looking somewhat dejected, with no signs of newlywed joy and happiness, more resembling a wronged bride.

What’s happening? Is it possible that the relationship among those three is not what we imagined... that kind of relationship?
