Chapter 1627: Chapter 1627: Why Did Only One Person Return?
This was Berlin, Germany—her territory.
She had finally rid herself of that annoying pest, Diwu Zexuan!
“Prepare the car for me. I’m going to the stables!”
The first thing Rui Hui thought of upon regaining her freedom was horse riding.
The military training she’d undergone since childhood had instilled in her a passion for galloping on horseback.
Not just horse riding—she also wanted to practice shooting.
After being cooped up in the laboratory building by Diwu Zexuan all day collecting herbs, she had almost forgotten what it felt like to hold a gun.
Having made up her mind, Rui Hui immediately climbed out of bed, walked to her wardrobe, and changed into a relaxed and comfortable casual outfit.
She quickly stepped out of the room.
By the time she arrived at the Adolf family’s private stables, it was close to 5 PM—soft sunlight and a gentle breeze made it the perfect time for horse riding.
Queran Adolf, who oversaw the entire stables, spotted Rui Hui and immediately walked toward her.
“Uncle.” As soon as Rui Hui saw him, she greeted him respectfully, “I only returned last night, and today I wanted to come see you first thing.”
Rui Hui was the most cherished young daughter of the Adolf family. In this family that valued power and ability above all, her skills were no less impressive than any son’s.
Because of this, the family patriarch doted on her and indulged her whims immensely.
“Hmm, at least you’re considerate.”
Queran Adolf glanced behind her, a flicker of sharpness flashing in his aged eyes. “You came back alone?”
“Was I supposed to bring someone?” Rui Hui curiously looked over her shoulder.
She had indeed come back alone, and the space behind her was empty.
Realizing what she was thinking, Rui Hui couldn’t help but lightly tap her forehead with her hand.
What was she imagining? It’s not as if turning around would suddenly reveal that annoying Diwu Zexuan.
“Diwu Zexuan didn’t come back with you?” Queran’s question was straightforward, as if he treated Rui Hui like his own daughter, genuinely concerned about her situation.
“I wouldn’t want him to come back with me even if I could help it—I can’t stand him. There’s nothing between us anyway.” Rui Hui made a face and moved closer to Queran, affectionately tugging at his arm like a spoiled child.
“Uncle, I didn’t even get to ride a horse yet since I’ve been back, and here you are interrogating me. You don’t love me anymore.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t ask anything. Go ahead; your horses have been well taken care of. Go try them out.” Queran’s expression softened with indulgent affection as he patted Rui Hui’s shoulder, signaling her to go fetch a horse.
As Rui Hui’s figure disappeared, the expression on his face immediately grew serious.
“Find out how Rui Hui got back here. See if Diwu Zexuan knows about it. If he doesn’t, make sure someone lets him know.” Queran’s sharp eyes glinted with precision—something didn’t feel right to him.
Last time, he had seen it clearly—Diwu Zexuan obviously had feelings for Rui Hui.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have outright taken her away and issued ultimatums to the Adolf family forbidding anyone from retrieving her.
So why would he allow her to return alone to Germany this time?
“Wait, also inform Colonel Duke that Rui Hui has returned.”
“Understood.”
…
“Hyahhh—”
Rui Hui was entirely unaware of the arrangements Queran had made. She hadn’t indulged in exhilarating horseback riding for ages; now, she rode around the field multiple times to the point of working up a sweat, fully satisfied before stopping.
Slowing down, she allowed the horse to trot leisurely within the grounds.
The setting sun painted the sky crimson, its glow reflected on her cheeks, making her look extraordinarily gentle and radiant.
Rui Hui’s crimson riding attire was sharp and clean, giving off an air of determination with a hint of dominance.
Her skilled equestrian performance made the spectators around the field break out in spontaneous applause.
