"Hmm?" Facing the woman's slight displeasure, Kristino merely let out a soft hum.
He reached out, tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, and smiled faintly, his handsomeness utterly captivating. "Xin'er, from the moment you stepped into the Rothschild family, no, from the moment you were born, you were destined to possess all the privileges in this world."
Fairness?
Ridiculous.
Their family, through two to three hundred years of effort, had already become the rulers of the world.
To speak of fairness with him?
The smile on Kristino's lips grew even more charming. "You are the woman I cherish. Anything you desire, I will present to you with both hands."
He knew her temperament—she didn't want to bully others with her status, didn't want to rely on family power to trample and crush others underfoot, and certainly didn't want to treat others' efforts as worthless.
So Kristino added, "Don't refuse me. It's useless."
"Or, you can take a look at which design you prefer. At worst, I'll have that person participate in your construction."
Poaching talent afterwards would ease her psychological burden.
Du Ruoxin: o(╯□╰)o
Having an unreasonable older brother... truly...
She was helpless.
Dodging his touch, she mumbled, "You're always like this."
She also knew that she couldn't change her elder brother one bit. People born into nobility possessed an innate sense of superiority.
It was as if the entire world was under his control, and the entire world should prostrate itself at his feet.
Du Ruoxin disliked it; she genuinely disliked the aura of superiority they carried.
To avoid being influenced herself, she most liked bringing her brothers to crowded, noisy markets to experience the atmosphere of everyday life.
Fortunately, despite being accustomed to a life of luxury, her brothers were willing to humble themselves for her. They frequented street stalls, black markets, and roadside eateries, savoring every corner.
Alas—
What more could she say?
Their status was a fact. Ordinary people, even over several lifetimes, could not achieve the wealth of the Rothschild family.
Therefore, they had the capital to be arrogant!
But living in the same global village, she still believed that the happiness of ordinary people might not be unattainable for the wealthy.
Take eating skewers, for example.
Watching her elder brother elegantly pick up food from the pot with his chopsticks, she said, "Eat quickly, it's delicious. Eat more."
"This hot pot skewer restaurant is the best-rated nearby."
"Order a few portions of various beef."
After lunch, Du Ruoxin accompanied Kristino to the mall, continuing until her alarm rang.
It was time to pick up Rong Doudou.
But the drawing wasn't finished yet... Never mind, picking up her daughter was more important! The drawing could wait until tomorrow.
But Doudou would be sad if she didn't see her.
Du Ruoxin looked at her elder brother. "Brother, I need to go pick up Doudou. I'll call you tomorrow."
Kristino: "I'll go with you."
Du Ruoxin: "Ah?"
Did he have nothing better to do?
The man sensed her doubt and shot her a sharp glance. "Can't I pick up Doudou?"
Du Ruoxin chuckled, "That's not what I meant."
They got into the car, and she pondered, looking at her elder brother. "Doudou wants to go on a jungle adventure. Rong Jingyang and I promised her. Are you coming too?"
Kristino nodded. "Mm."
The man, outwardly expressionless, inwardly scoffed.
【Heh—】
【Rong Jingyang probably won't have time to accompany them today, will he?】
【No matter, if he has time, I can substitute.】
Du Ruoxin replied "ok" and didn't say anything further.
She took out her phone and dialed Rong Jingyang's number.
