1007 Some People Have Fallen Out of Favor

When Zi Yi got up to wash up, Lu Jingye told her about the invitation.

“Many people called in the morning to ask about the invitation.”

Zi Yi was squeezing the toothpaste when she heard that. She scoffed and said, “They couldn’t open the invitation?”

“That’s not it,” Lu Jingye said with a smile. “Many people were shocked by your creative invitation.”

!!
The invitation Zi Yi sent out was a file. No matter what phone the receiver used, they would be able to open the file as long as they were connected to the internet.

After opening the file, a beautiful festive image would appear in front of them together with a realistic-looking invitation in the middle. With a tap of their finger, they can open the invitation content. At the end of the invitation, it wrote that the guests had to bring their phones when they arrived to attend the wedding.

“Someone asked what would happen if their phones ran out of battery or if they forgot to bring their phone?”

“That’s not a problem.” Zi Yi started to brush her teeth and said in a muffled voice, “Asking them to bring their phones was just for fun. As long as they received the invitation, their identities would automatically be verified the moment they entered our house.”

Sure enough, Lu Jingye thought that would be the case. He did not say anything else and waited for her to finish washing up.

…

When the family of four arrived at the Dou Family house, it was already past 10 o’clock plus.

The Dou Family members had already been eagerly waiting for their arrival.

The moment the car door was opened, Zi Yi’s Aunts and Uncles came over and carried the babies away.

While they were coddling the two babies, they complained.

“Didn’t you say you were coming in the morning? It’s already going to be time for lunch soon!”

“That’s right. We haven’t seen these two little babies, and we miss them so much!”

“Quick, bring them inside. They are not yet one month old, so don’t let them catch a cold.”

“Bring them inside first for Father to have a look. He’s still waiting inside.”

With that, the four of them and the babies moved inside. Evidently, they had forgotten about the other two adults.

Lu Jingye followed them inside after.

Dou Zerui who was standing on one side gloated and said, “Oh-ho~ someone is out of favor it seems.”

Zi Yi glanced at him and retorted without holding back. “It’s better than being someone who has never been in favor.”

“At least I won’t feel disappointed. You must be feeling particularly upset right now, right?”

“Why would I be? They are fond of my babies so why should I be upset?”

When Zi Yi said that, she emphasized the words ‘my babies’. She even added and said, “Unfortunately, you are still on the dislike list.”

Dou Zerui felt as though a sword had pierced his chest. He glared at Zi Yi angrily. “Who says I’m the disliked one? I’ll soon be someone who has a girlfriend.”

“Where is she at?”

Dou Zerui stopped talking.

The three ladies standing beside them laughed out loud without holding back.

Dou Yurui said to Dou Zerui, “Second Brother, why do you always ask for an insult?”

Dou Zerui snorted in anger and turned to leave. “Hmph! I shall not lower myself and argue with kids.”

Dou Xiangling and the rest stepped forward and surrounded Zi Yi.

Dou Yurui asked with a smile, “Yiyi, you were the one who sent us the invitation, right?”

“Yea.”

“I was stunned when I opened it. Your electronic invitation was projected right in front of me. Moreover, it looked so pretty. That’s so advanced. How did you manage to do it?”

“This is actually very easy to do.”

Zi Yi gave her a short explanation and Dou Yurui was in a daze due to the information overload.

Zi Yi thought of what she saw last night and changed the topic. She asked Dou Yurui with a smile, “Cousin Yurui, when did you get together with Secretary Shao?”

Dou Yurui was no longer as awkward as she was last night. She revealed a smile and said, “Something unpleasant happened during the first time we met. Later, I just so happened to bump into him in a cafe, while he was having a blind date. I originally planned to tease him, but I didn’t expect he would use me as an excuse to chase the girl away.”

Speaking up to here, she felt that she had suffered a loss. “This man is too scheming. I nearly lost in his hands.”

The more Zi Yi listened, the more confused she was. “Aren’t you a couple?”

Dou Xiangling and Dou Yurui burst out laughing at Zi Yi’s remark.

Dou Yue’er said, “You might not know, but our Third Sister also wants to be an overbearing Queen in her relationship. Therefore, her relationship with Brother Shao is a little exciting.”

Zi Yi revealed an interested expression.

“What kind of excitement?”

Dou Yue’er looked at Dou Yurui.

Dou Yurui smiled and said, “In any case, I certainly won’t lose in a battle against such a scheming bastard.”

Zi Yi thought of the scene whereby they had fallen into the sea while kissing last night and she smiled in return.

The four of them had been standing outside and chatting for some time, when the Third Madam, who had headed inside ages ago, came out to call for them. “Why are you all standing outside? Isn’t it too warm out there?”

Only then did the four of them make their way inside.

The two babies were lying in the stroller and it was placed in front of Elder Dou.

He was looking at the two babies with a huge smile on his face.

Zi Yi called out, “Grandpa.”

“Yiyi, you’re back.”

Zi Yi walked to him and squatted down.

Elder Dou stroked her head and said with a smile. “You’ve been gone for a month, are you finally able to spend more time at home now?”

“Mhmm.” Zi Yi nodded her head. “I’ll be able to stay for at least a month. They’re all in training right now.”

Dou Jingning was also in the base and so, the First Madam asked, “Little Zi, does your Eldest Uncle and the rest require training for a few months too?”

“Yes. But Eldest Uncle and them are technicians, so their training would be different from the rest. It’ll be considerably easier.”

The First Madam said with a smile, “That’s great. I’m worried that your Eldest Uncle is so old and that he won’t be able to catch up to the younglings in terms of training.”

“Eldest Aunt, you shouldn’t look down on Eldest Uncle. He’s still very young!”

“Haha, you’re right.”

Everyone could not help but laugh.

Zi Yi then told them about the situation in the base.

Everyone could not help but get excited.

“If the spaceship is really completed, I also wish to go up to space and have a look.”

“There’ll be such opportunities in the future.”

Zi Yi said, “The development of mankind is originally progressing toward space anyways. After the first batch of pioneers head to space and locate the materials I need, I’ll be able to create spaceships meant to carry normal people. In that case, everyone would be able to travel into space!”

All of them were full of expectations after hearing Zi Yi’s explanation.

After lunch, Zi Yi asked Dou Yue’er about her travel plans.

In fact, she had only returned two days ago.

Dou Yue’er said with an excited expression, “We traveled to several famous historical sites of archeology. We also went to the Mayan ruins!”

Having said that, she looked for the photos she had taken on her phone and showed them to Zi Yi.

While looking through the photos, Dou Yue’er asked, “Cousin Yiyi, do you think the Mayans were really prophets? I feel that they aren’t the same as us.”

Zi Yi carefully looked through the photos for some time and said, “Indeed, they weren’t earthlings. They should have come from the second civilization.”

“Wow… what kind of civilization is the second civilization? Is it even better and more prosperous than the Earth’s civilization?”

“That’s right… but this is just my guess. Aren’t you going to study this major in the future? Study well, perhaps you will be the one to decrypt the secret one day.”

“Yes, yes! That’s what I wish for too!”
