Chapter 1928: Chapter 1928: He Heard Everything?
"I did not!" Rui Hui grabbed a pillow and began play-fighting with Qin Youxuan.
"The little one is sound asleep, he probably won’t wake up for a while. You should go rest for a bit. Once he wakes up, he’ll come find Rui Hui to play." Qin Youxuan glanced at the just-asleep Tingye and said with a smile.
"Then I’ll return to my room to rest for now." Rui Hui yawned gracefully, stood up, and headed towards the door.
As the door to the baby’s room opened, she saw Diwu Zexuan leaning against the wall, body stiffening.
How long had he been standing there?
Had he heard everything she said?
"Follow me."
Diwu Zexuan grabbed Rui Hui’s hand and led her down the stairs.
Once inside the guest room, he slammed the door shut.
Diwu Zexuan turned around, picked up Rui Hui and carried her in large strides towards the sofa. He placed her on it, leaned over her side, and trapped her firmly within his embrace.
"If you want to say something, you can say it from a distance, don’t be so close..."
Rui Hui squirmed uncomfortably, turned her face away, trying to push him away.
"I heard everything you said to Qin Youxuan." Diwu Zexuan didn’t let go, but instead moved closer to her cheek, speaking with emphasis.
"..."
Rui Hui froze.
He had indeed been hiding outside eavesdropping.
Rui Hui puffed up her cheeks, so he heard. What she said wasn’t out of anger, but the truth.
He had deceived her from the start, and she no longer wanted to stay with him.
"I was the one who added the medication, I’m more aware of its effects than anyone else. You won’t forever be without a child." He wasn’t foolish enough to impose an irrevocable decision on himself.
"But you can’t deceive me, nor privately make decisions for me!" Rui Hui pushed him away, stood up from the sofa, and glared directly at Diwu Zexuan.
"Medicine is toxic three parts, what if I continuously take them and something really goes wrong?"
Rui Hui was furious and nearly went crazy, seeing Diwu Zexuan’s calm demeanor made her breath catch in her chest.
She hated how he was, domineering and never considering her feelings.
As long as he thought it was right, he’d decide for her.
She may be a bit simple-minded, but she has her own thoughts, she’s not a puppet.
"Are you doubting my medical skills?" Diwu Zexuan’s tone was stiff, but his attitude softened significantly.
Sitting down on the sofa, he reached out and pulled Rui Hui into his embrace.
"Having good medical skills isn’t a reason for you to deceive me. What I care about is, despite agreeing with me, you still tampered behind my back. Diwu Zexuan, I trusted you so much, didn’t you feel guilty watching me eat the spiced food behind my back?"
"..."
Diwu Zexuan’s eyes grew tense, his gaze darkened.
If he said no, Rui Hui might have slapped him directly.
But the truth is, he truly didn’t feel guilty.
He never regretted his decisions.
Having her was enough, he didn’t need a child to embellish his life, nor did he want her to take risks for the sake of a child.
A child with royal blood would make Rui Hui a target for many.
Even the child would become a target of public criticism.
He didn’t directly increase the medication dosage to completely end Rui Hui’s thoughts. He was only worried about such a situation happening today.
He showed restraint to leave a retreat for himself.
"Under the pretense of what’s best for me, you never asked my opinion. Isn’t your love too domineering?" Rui Hui sniffled with grievance, holding back her tears.
