Good pregnancy in the animal world: the soft and tender rabbit is spoiled by the big guys

Chapter 606 "Lord Platinum, is a marriage alliance in mind?"

Yu Zhizhi's finger froze in the air for a while, unsure which button to click. Under the gaze of two eyes, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "Uh... Your Grace, Lord Shenhe, how about we video chat together?"

Duke: "...?"

What did the young female say to video chat together?
Shenhe's smile suddenly froze, and he glanced at the snake in Valoran with a slight squint.

They used to meet at the Imperial Conference, but today it was clearly private time. They all wanted to take over Zhizhi's night because they all knew that Zhizhi had come back with great difficulty.

Yu Zhizhi increasingly felt that her suggestion was excellent.
A smile returned to her face, and the light in her dark eyes brightened instantly: "Your Grace, are you still in the palace?"

In the afternoon, Mr. Billy said that the Duke had been at the palace recently, busy meeting with the Grand Tutor of the Moonrise Empire.

Imperial Preceptor...

The image of the beautiful and elegant purple fox appeared in Yu Zhizhi's mind. Every time she thought of the Grand Preceptor of the Moonrise Empire, she remembered his fox-like appearance. As for his "human" appearance, the facial features in her memory became very blurry.

Probably because they weren't very familiar with each other and had only met a few times.

But Purple Fox lived with her in the dungeon for a while.

"Hmm." The Duke nodded slightly.

There was a shark nearby, and he wasn't comfortable discussing private matters in front of outsiders. However, the Duke only looked at the little female rabbit and pretended the white shark didn't exist.

"Tonight, a ball has been specially prepared for Grand Preceptor Yue Sheng at the Imperial Palace in the capital."

"Did His Majesty the Duke dance?" Yu Zhizhi suddenly asked curiously.

The Duke leaned back on the sofa, a faint smile, tinged with intoxication, playing in his golden eyes.

"No."

He never dances.

Shen He scoffed, "There must have been quite a few noble ladies at the ball. Why aren't they dancing? I heard that the delegation from the Moonrise Empire includes a royal princess who is going to marry the First Duke of the Valoran Empire."

This was the first time Yu Zhizhi had heard of this. She hadn't yet realized who the First Duke was, and she just thought that Lord Shenhe knew so much.

Her attention was drawn to it: "The princess?"

Shen He got excited, leaned forward, and raised an eyebrow: "Not a proper princess, but a clan specially promoted from the nobility—the Emerald Serpent Clan."

The Duke stared coldly at the obnoxious and talkative white shark.

Yu Zhizhi paused for a moment when she heard "Azure Serpent Clan". She suddenly remembered that the first duke of the Valoran Empire was Lord Platinum!

An unnatural smile appeared on her face: "Lord Platinum, is a marriage alliance about to take place?"

The Duke immediately denied it: "What marriage alliance? I don't even know about it myself."

"Haha~ His Excellency the Duke has a new love, so naturally he's not interested in a marriage alliance. Zhizhi, you haven't heard yet, have you? The Duke's mansion is keeping a female rabbit, whose appearance and temperament are somewhat similar to yours."

Shen He continued digging the hole. He didn't want to bring it up, but the snake insisted on coming over.
Yu Zhizhi genuinely didn't know about this.

She stared blankly at Lord Shenhe, then turned to look at the Duke.

A female rabbit? Like her?

"Really?" Yu Zhizhi couldn't quite describe her feelings. She felt like a small mushroom that had just been rained on, damp and wilted, sitting there uncomfortably.

The Duke simply watched her quietly in the video, meeting her gaze silently, the intoxication in his golden vertical pupils seemingly completely dissipated.

He is completely lucid right now.

Yu Zhizhi recalled the clear female voice that came from the other end of the call when she ended it: "Can you let me go back to him?"
Her intuition told her that the person speaking might be the rabbit-woman that Lord Shenhe had mentioned.

She lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "I think I talked to her today."

...Hmm? Yu Zhizhi was a little confused. Why did she bring this up? What was she trying to say?

The Duke simply looked at her without saying a word.

It was as if they were observing her reaction.

It's like he's a little tired, listless, and too lazy to talk.

Or perhaps it was because there was a great white shark nearby, and he didn't want to talk. Shen He, on the other hand, was quite happy to see this scene unfold; a smile played on his lips, as if he enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

Just then, the door to the lounge was pushed open.

A clear "click" sound came from the video. The person who came was walking briskly. She didn't even notice the small floating screen. She walked up to him and handed him the folder in her hand.

"Your Grace, here are the documents you requested."

In the lower left corner of the video, a blue skirt with light white lace appeared.

The rabbit-girl smiled and suddenly noticed the camera. Curious, she leaned closer and asked, "Is Your Majesty video chatting with someone?"

She was stunned when she saw the screen; there were actually two people?

A female rabbit like her, and—

Her eyes changed slightly, she straightened up, and apologized decisively: "I'm sorry, Lady Platinum, I didn't know you were busy with important matters."

The Duke still looked weary. He raised his chin, and the rabbit-woman quickly bowed and took her leave.

Yu Zhizhi also saw what the rabbit girl looked like.

Just as Lord Shenhe said.

They look...

They look somewhat alike.

Yu Zhizhi lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

The atmosphere is a little weird.

Shen He didn't hang up the video call; he just had to join in the fun. After all, he was the one who sent the rabbit-woman there, and he hadn't expected the snake to keep her.

Just as Shenhe was about to mock the Duke, Brie's voice came from outside the door.

"Lord Shenhe, something's happened! A massive explosion has occurred at our training base, the signal tower is disabled, and the ongoing simulation exercise has lost its connection..."

Shen He's expression changed. He immediately stood up, then suddenly remembered something and glared fiercely at the man in the video.

"That's quite a generous move, isn't it?"

What a coincidence! Are we going to send him away now?

The Duke finally spoke, glancing at Shen He, who had already gotten up and left, with a slight smile: "Zhizhi, let's continue our previous topic."

Yu Zhizhi looked up blankly. It took her a full five seconds to remember that they were talking about the Duke's "new love".

She was about to shake her head and say that she had nothing more to say.

Then the Duke said, "Are you unhappy?"

Hearing this clearly doting tone before leaving, Shen He's previous weariness vanished. Without even thinking, he knew how the snake would coax the little rabbit and how many sweet words they would say.

Zhizhi is so naive, she'll definitely be completely charmed by him.

Shen He snorted coldly and strode out of the room.

Video communication terminated.

Yu Zhizhi's communicator screen showed that Big Shark had exited the video call.

A call involving three people is indeed too crowded.

After leaving the screen, the phone screen instantly returned to its original state. Yu Zhizhi looked at the Duke on the screen, thought for a moment, and slowly shook her head: "I'm not unhappy."

She... wasn't unhappy.

I just have a slight doubt.

“Your Grace, that young lady just now, I look a lot like her.”

The Duke corrected her, saying, "It's that she looks a bit like you, not that you look like her."

　See you tomorrow~
