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

Chapter 607 Slowly approaching her.

In the palace's lounge, the red floor-to-ceiling curtains were tightly drawn, and under the dim light, the Duke's pair of golden vertical pupils appeared even more mysterious and unpredictable.

He leaned back in his chair, his posture languid, his gaze fixed on the small floating screen in front of him the whole time. He saw a hint of confusion in the bright dark eyes of the rabbit female, her nose slightly wrinkled, as if she was struggling with something.

The Duke had seen many expressions on the little female's face.

But something like tonight is rare.

He drank quite a bit, but he only seemed truly drunk when he saw Zhizhi.

The Duke's voice was calm and unhurried: "I found this rabbit on the way back from Silan City. I brought it back because I don't want to see any more rabbits like yours."

Yu Zhizhi: "Oh... what's her name?"

Duke: "I don't know, I haven't asked."

Yu Zhizhi thought that the capital of Valoran might have many spies from other empires. The bride's identity at the Duke's previous wedding wasn't entirely innocent.

Although the Duke said he "found" her, Yu Zhizhi could guess that this was a "chance encounter" orchestrated by someone.

The Duke doesn't even remember her name.

Will this make me feel better?

Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but touch her chest. She noticed that the little mushroom growing on her chest still looked wilted and damp. She lowered her eyes, not wanting to continue the topic.

"Lord Platinum, I'm sleepy."

I'm not actually sleepy.

Having finally returned to Beast Planet, Yu Zhizhi was in a state of high excitement. After hanging up the phone, she still had other things to do.

I just don't want to video chat anymore.

She's going to pull the little mushrooms out.

Seeing the little female looking like she was about to run away, the Duke lowered his gaze and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Zhizhi."

He called out.

Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears twitched slightly. The Duke rarely called her by her name, so the two words sounded especially pleasant coming from his mouth.

She couldn't help but look over.

The lounge was quiet, but through the video, Yu Zhizhi could vaguely hear the music from the ball in the distance.

They were as if they were far removed from the crowd, silently watching each other in a secluded and safe area.

The Duke's eyes were indifferent. He rested his chin on his fingertips, leaning against the armrest of the sofa. Two buttons on his white gold tuxedo were undone, giving him a lazy and casual look. Half of his body seemed to be in shadow, making him appear distant and mysterious to Yu Zhizhi even through the screen.

She thought of the time on Earth when she summoned the Duke.

With a human body and a snake's tail, it was like a primordial deity descending to earth.

But at that time, she only felt that the Duke of Perlan was exceptionally kind, like a long-lost family member or friend... well, in short, he made her want to get closer to him than the duke in front of her.

Is it because of home advantage issues?
Because she is currently on a beast-world planet, she always feels like a guest in this world, and she unconsciously becomes reserved.
The Duke gazed at the little female rabbit in the video. Her expression shifted from avoidance to confusion, and now a hint of unease appeared in her beautiful rabbit eyes: "...Yes."

She responded to the Duke's call.

The Duke said calmly, "Try it, make your request."

Yu Zhizhi asked, puzzled: "Requirements?"

The Duke gently prompted, "For example, what would you like me to do?"

The sudden question left Yu Zhizhi stunned. What did she hope the Duke would do? She... she felt like she hadn't thought about this question in a long time.

"Or, you don't want me to do anything?" the Duke phrased it differently. He saw the slightly dazed look on the little rabbit's face on the screen, and thought about how they had always been together. She always carried an inexplicable "pandering" quality about her, and everything she did and said seemed to be trying to win his favor, or rather, his affection?
The Duke admitted that it felt quite nice to be noticed by her.

So much so that when she chose to protect that stray dog ​​in such a drastic way for the first time, it felt as if his heart was being torn apart, a heart-wrenching pain!

And now.

He wanted to slowly approach her and gradually understand her heart.

Yu Zhizhi was stumped by the Duke's question.

Her two hands, which were resting on the desk, were tangled together, and a look of confusion appeared on her porcelain-white face. She didn't know how to answer.

The Duke watched as the little female rabbit pondered and struggled, even the tips of her fluffy rabbit ears seemed to be getting tangled. She glanced up at the screen, then quickly looked down at her delicate white fingers. She bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed it all.

It's hard to say what expectations to have.

What are your preferences?
The Duke changed his mind again: "Then, what do you like about me? If you can't think of anything, why don't you think about what you don't like about me?"

This problem should be much simpler.

The Duke didn't mind reopening old wounds, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Like last time, when you didn't like me hurting that stray dog ​​and didn't want to come with me."

He wanted to see more and more of these kinds of emotions in the young females he was currently with.

On Beast Planet, Yu Zhizhi faces endless missions every day she opens her eyes. Her emotions are like a tightly strung bow; she can't reveal her true feelings unless she's under immense pressure.
She suddenly realized, belatedly, that the main quest was already over...

The system even explicitly reminded her that she didn't need to come back here.

Yu Zhizhi no longer needs to seduce anyone.

There's no need to farm favorability.

Don't worry about what you do or say that might lower the other person's opinion of you...

Yu Zhizhi felt somewhat lost, and her instinct was to escape and skip over the issue. But seeing the Duke's focused gaze on the other end of the video, she seemed to forget everything.

In the stillness of the night, the occasional chirping of insects drifts into my ears.

As the evening breeze rustled through the curtains, her figure, sitting at her desk, gradually relaxed.

Yu Zhizhi thought about it seriously for a moment. Her mood wasn't very high tonight, probably because...

She followed her heart and said, "I don't like you keeping rabbits."

It's like a magic spell; once you say it, everything that follows flows smoothly.

"Lord Platinum, I don't like you keeping rabbits. You can keep flowers, birds, foxes, or puppies, but not rabbits. Especially rabbits that look like me... I'd feel a little awkward about them."

It feels a little awkward.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

Yu Zhizhi couldn't explain why she had this feeling; in fact... it seemed to have nothing to do with her.

But she just doesn't like it.

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking at the screen.

Yu Zhizhi didn't know what the Duke's expression would be when he heard what she said. She sat quietly, and after a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes, she heard a very soft, slightly joyful laugh, which was fleeting and seemed like a hallucination.

"Alright, we won't keep her." The Duke's voice came through the screen, his tone calm and steady, with a hint of undisguised amusement in his golden vertical pupils. "Tomorrow, we'll send her, along with all the rabbits in the manor, male and female, away."

"Does this make my little one feel any better?"

　See you tomorrow~
