"Bang——"

A vicious punch landed on Diwu Zexuan’s handsome face.

"Diwu Zexuan!"

A tense voice came from the banquet hall, and the next second, Rui Hui was seen lifting her skirt hem, rushing over from the door.

She ran to Diwu Zexuan’s side and reached out to help him up.

"Are you okay? Didn’t you say you’re capable? Can’t even dodge a punch!" Rui Hui pouted and growled, looking at Diwu Zexuan’s reddening and swelling face, her eyes uncontrollably reddening.

She turned her head and glared fiercely at Duke, silently blaming him.

"Rui Hui..."

Duke stood there, his fists clenched tightly, watching Rui Hui, who was still looking at Diwu Zexuan with concern, then glanced at Diwu Zexuan’s smug face, gritting his teeth hard.

He was hurt too, and it was Diwu Zexuan who started it first.

In the end, the only one in the wrong was him.

Rui Hui, you came back clearly intending to avoid him, so why do you get so anxious just seeing him with a slight flesh wound?

Duke’s eyes deepened, his fists creaked as he clenched them.

"I’m fine, why are you crying." Diwu Zexuan looked at her reddened eyes, frowning, his long fingers brushing her eyes, wanting to kiss her brows with heartache.

But before he could touch her, Rui Hui pushed him hard, "Stay away from me as long as you’re not dead!"

"Stop fooling around, come home with me."

Diwu Zexuan pressed a hand to the injury on his face, inhaling sharply.

Duke’s punch was really forceful; if it wasn’t, Rui Hui probably wouldn’t have shown up.

She clearly knew he was there, yet still avoided him.

Diwu Zexuan’s eyes darkened, remembering Duke’s earlier provocation, gripping her hand tighter all of a sudden.

"I don’t want to... I’m hungry, can I eat something first?"

Rui Hui blinked her enchanting eyes, rubbing her small belly and mumbling.

In Diwu Zexuan’s hands, her protests were useless.

Even if taken back to the Adolf family, no one would speak for her; they’d only try to reconcile her with Diwu Zexuan.

She had to find a way to escape from here...

"You haven’t eaten until now?" Diwu Zexuan glanced at the luxurious watch on his wrist, his gaze deepening.

Ignoring the injury on his face, he held Rui Hui and was ready to get in the car and find a restaurant for her.

"Since you’re already at my Selter family home, why go far? If Rui Hui is hungry, there is good food inside. Besides, she was always a distinguished guest of my Selter family."

Duke suddenly stepped forward, reaching out to block Diwu Zexuan.

"Or are you just afraid and don’t dare to enter my Selter family home?"

"..."

Diwu Zexuan’s gaze flickered, coldly sweeping a glance at Duke.

He didn’t miss Duke’s provocation, but what he cared about was that Rui Hui was hungry.

Diwu Zexuan paused in his step and turned towards the banquet hall.

"What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you." Diwu Zexuan sat Rui Hui on a chair, dotingly ruffling her small head with a big hand.

"Steak, cake, ice cream, and..."

"Enough, you’ve been hungry for so long, these things will upset your stomach. Have a bowl of porridge first; I’ll go see if there is any. Wait here obediently for me." Diwu Zexuan stood up and turned towards the refreshments area.

"..."

Rui Hui watched his charming back, pouting with displeasure.

The domineering man, clearly pretended to ask her opinion just now, didn’t actually listen.

Rui Hui blinked, making sure Diwu Zexuan had already walked away, then cautiously stood up from the chair, turning to sneak away. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

As soon as she lifted her foot, she bumped into Duke, who was following closely behind.

In her haste, she spun around entirely.

Just about to speak, a sudden wave of nausea hit her chest, her face turning pale in an instant.
