Chapter 1630: Chapter 1630: Diwu Zexuan Cos Knocking
Finally, those two figures—Queran turned his gaze to the stunned Rui Hui.
Rui Hui, who was originally prepared to weigh her options further, suddenly found herself cornered into agreeing, with little room for resistance.
After all, it was just a banquet. Publicly rejecting the Duke wouldn’t be ideal.
“Alright.” Rui Hui nodded lightly, her expression calm and restrained, devoid of any significant emotional fluctuation.
“I’m overjoyed.” The Duke appeared utterly excited. Hearing Rui Hui’s agreent, he imdiately raised the glass of Bordeaux red wine before him and drained it in one go.
Setting the glass down on the table, he added, “I’ll co to pick you up in a couple of days.”
“Mm.”
Although Rui Hui found it peculiar how elated he seed, she concealed her thoughts, responding only with a faint, polite smile that carried a hint of detachnt.
After seeing the Duke off, Rui Hui puzzledly sought out Queran Adolf.
“Uncle, I was planning to visit Father the day after tomorrow. Why did you suddenly interrupt earlier and say such things to the Duke?”
Rui Hui wasn’t exactly complaining, but she felt it odd that Queran, who had rarely ddled in her decisions, was suddenly intent on matchmaking her with the Duke.
“The Duke is a solid choice in a partner. I hope you’ll give it a chance with him—you might spark sothing unexpected.” Queran’s words were as straightforward as ever.
Perhaps due to his adherence to a militaristic style of upbringing, even his communication carried a blunt clarity.
With Rui Hui’s intelligence, it would take no ti to sense sothing amiss. Instead of offering explanations later, it was better to lay things out plainly from the start.
“You are the most exceptional daughter of the Adolf family, and the Selter family is remarkable in its own right. You and the Duke are a fitting match.”
“But we’ve barely had any contact—we haven’t spoken in years! Things are moving way too quickly!” Rui Hui exclaid the mont she understood Queran’s implication.
“It’s just eting soone and attending a banquet together—as friends. What’s there to worry about? Frankly, I believe the Duke holds sothing special for you. It’s best to embrace this openly.”
Queran advised her earnestly.
Rui Hui was the Adolf family’s pride, and her prospective marital union naturally couldn’t be inferior.
An arranged marriage was an inevitable path.
Originally, the Adolf family’s preferred candidate was Diwu Zexuan. However, it now seed prudent to lay additional groundwork.
“Uncle, you’re practically pushing into the Duke’s arms—I can’t exactly feel at ease about this,” Rui Hui pouted, her tone betraying slight discontent.
Still, facing her uncle, a doting elder, she refrained from voicing further complaints.
With an audible pout, she politely bid farewell to Queran before turning back to leave.
…
Washington, United States.
A private villa.
Qin Youxuan had just returned from the company and, upon entering, imdiately noticed the butler waiting by the door.
The mont the butler saw her, it was as if he had spotted salvation.
“Young Madam, you’ve finally returned!” The butler hurried toward Qin Youxuan, moving quickly, “Mr. Zexian has arrived. He’s waiting in the living room with Mr. Jie, and his expression doesn’t look good.”
“…”
Diwu Zexuan had arrived.
Rui Hui had only been away for a day, and he had already caught wind of the situation—his actions were impressively swift.
Qin Youxuan signaled to the butler to relax, then took a deep inhale to steel herself before walking inside.
As soon as she entered the living room, she spotted Diwu Zexuan seated on the sofa facing the entrance.
His tall figure lounged limply against the sofa, his long legs crossed in a display of casual leisure, one hand supporting his head lazily.
On his lap rested a soft, cuddly little figure.
A face strikingly similar to Dan Hanjie’s tilted upwards, gazing at Diwu Zexuan while blowing bubbly spit.
Small, pudgy arms and legs kicked energetically, playing with uninhibited joy.
