Hearing her soft voice, Diwu Zexuan’s arm tightened unconsciously, and his gaze softened as well, exuding an obvious indulgence and affection.

His large hand gently rubbed her little head.

"It’s my fault. What do you want to eat? Take your time, we’re not in a rush."

"I want porridge." Rui Hui pouted, knowing full well there was none, yet she insisted on making things difficult for Diwu Zexuan.

"I’ll go to the kitchen right now and have them make a bowl for you." Upon hearing Rui Hui’s words, Duke finally found an opportunity to step in, quickly speaking before Diwu Zexuan could, and turned to head to the kitchen.

"Senior!" Rui Hui suddenly called out, a bit anxious, and stood up from Diwu Zexuan’s embrace.

"Thank you for taking care of me today. Let Diwu Zexuan handle these things instead."

"..."

Upon hearing this, both men were stunned.

Duke stood frozen in place, looking at Rui Hui as a hint of hurt flashed through his eyes.

Rui Hui’s lips moved slightly, wanting to explain, but after thinking it over, she kept silent.

Diwu Zexuan reacted quickly, his gaze focused as he placed Rui Hui onto the chair, glanced at her delicate face, and pinched it gently, "I’ll be back soon, don’t wander off."

He turned and headed towards the kitchen.

As soon as his figure disappeared, Rui Hui immediately stood up from the chair and, not bothering to explain to Duke, started running towards the door.

"Rui Hui..."

Duke was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly reacting and hurriedly chased after her.

By the time Rui Hui reached outside the main entrance, Duke had already pulled up in front of her in a sports car.

"Get in, where do you want to go? I’ll take you." The car window rolled down, revealing Duke’s handsome face with a hint of joy.

The more Rui Hui wanted to leave Diwu Zexuan, the greater his chance.

As long as she wanted to escape, he would absolutely help her all the way!

"Senior, there’s no need. This is between him and me. I don’t want to involve others, and I drove here myself." As Rui Hui spoke, she was already running towards where she parked her car.

She had never thought that Diwu Zexuan would chase her all the way to Germany, and even find her whereabouts so quickly.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have hidden at Duke’s place.

Now, if she let Duke help her leave, who knows if Diwu Zexuan would completely vent his anger on someone else.

Rui Hui calculated the time, worried that Diwu Zexuan would discover her escape, and she didn’t dare to stop, rushing straight to her car.

Just as she was about to reach for the car door, she caught sight of the man leaning against it. His charming eyes suddenly tightened.

"What’s so urgent that you forgot to even say goodbye to me? Your porridge is still cooking in the kitchen, not going to drink it?" Diwu Zexuan’s tone was very light, so light that there was no trace of anger.

Seeing Rui Hui’s startled figure, he straightened from beside the car door, hands casually in his pockets, and walked towards her.

His calm demeanor made it seem like he couldn’t see that Rui Hui was intentionally sending him away, with the aim to escape.

Rui Hui seriously doubted whether he even went to the kitchen, given how fast he was.

She even felt that Diwu Zexuan had figured out her intention to run from the start, and directly came outside to block her.

Otherwise, how could he have arrived so quickly, even before her, and remained so calm?

Clearly, he had been there all along!

Rui Hui puffed her cheeks, feeling like she had been made a fool of.

Acknowledging her mistake, yet not daring to lose her temper with him.
