Chapter 1648: Chapter 1648: The Noble Heir
Rui Hui has always been able to endure pain well, but this kind of pain is truly different.
“Don’t doubt my expertise,” Diwu Zexuan said, then moved her hand away.
Rui Hui shyly wanted to stop him, but she couldn’t, so she simply grabbed a pillow to cover her head.
Diwu Zexuan glanced over, his silver eyes flickering with a hint of frustration.
He took out the ointment he carried and gently applied it to her.
Several times he almost couldn’t restrain himself, but looking at her physical condition, Diwu Zexuan held back despite the urge.
When he finished treating her, he looked up and realized that Rui Hui had covered herself so tightly with the pillow she couldn’t breathe.
Not afraid she might suffocate herself.
They were already like this, what is there to be shy about?
Diwu Zexuan was used to doing things his own way and couldn’t understand her.
However, he felt sorry for her, so he placed the ointment to the side, reached over and took the pillow off her head.
He placed it aside and drew Rui Hui into his arms.
“Alright, sleep a bit and when you wake up it won’t hurt.” Diwu Zexuan stroked her head, comforting her like a child.
He was accustomed to being sharp-tongued, not one to comfort women.
Only because his heart had been moved would he patiently soothe her to sleep like this.
“Hmm.” Rui Hui flushed with embarrassment, unable to reach the pillow he had moved, she nestled into his chest, burying her face in his chest.
Seeing her action, Diwu Zexuan’s gaze unconsciously softened, looking at her indulgently.
His large hand gently pressed on her little head.
He had never lacked other women, yet it was the first time, that the moods and expressions of someone could affect his emotions.
The empty place in his chest seemed to be slowly filled by something.
…
Selter family villa.
The Duke’s tall figure leaned against the railing of the balcony, holding a glass of red wine as he gazed into the distance.
He heard footsteps behind him and suddenly turned around.
“Colonel, the information you wanted has been found.” The person quickly stepped forward, respectfully standing in front of the Duke.
“Diwu Zexuan is a mysterious Southeast Asian Divine Doctor, but his true identity is that of a Swedish Prince, originally named Zexian Karl.”
“What did you say?”
The Duke turned sharply, his hawk-like eyes flashing a dark light.
“Diwu Zexuan is the fifth-ranked Prince of Sweden, also the fifth in line for the throne. But somehow, he ended up in Southeast Asia and has been staying away from the Swedish royal family for years.”
“…”
A Swedish Prince, and one who has a claim to the throne, no wonder he caught the eye of the Adolf family.
Thinking this way, Diwu Zexuan’s status is even higher than his own by quite a bit.
Fortunately, he knew the head of the Adolf family had gone to the military, so he decided to come back for a while. Otherwise, if he went along blindly, he wouldn’t know how he lost.
“Investigate further for me, find out everything that happened the year Zexian Karl left Sweden, also about the current power factions in Sweden; find all related information about him and make sure nothing is missed!” The Duke’s eyes darkened, reflecting a trace of sinister light.
“Yes.”
…
One week later.
A whole seven days, Kwei Adolf still hadn’t shown up.
“Diwu Zexuan, should we head back to the US first?” Rui Hui knelt on the sofa, speaking hesitantly.
Her gaze fell on Diwu Zexuan’s face beside her, with unconcealed worry in her eyes.
