When the Emperor left, Tuoba Yu praised, "I've already said that you will definitely be fine. I'll treat you to wine later on."
"Elder sister Ru Ge, you're too amazing. How did you know that there would be an ambush ahead?" Su Nianxia peeked between the two of them and asked.
Tuoba Yu smiled and retreated a little.
"I don't know either. It's just a coincidence that they're suspicious of the troops." Hua Ruge concluded.
Su Nianxia thought for a while, "I don't understand, but it's not only me who is stunned, even those who are fighting became foolish."
From this, she was able to determine Hua Ruge's strength.
Tuoba Yu however, continued, "Ru Ge, you have become famous just like this time."
Hua Ruge stroked his chin and said, "Isn't that a little too high-profile?"
"Elder Sister Ruge, isn't it a little late for you to think about this now?" Su Nianxia could even see through it.
Hua Ruge blinked her eyes, it seemed to be true, but it did not matter, as there were fewer people who dared to provoke her, and it was also a good thing.
Originally they had wanted to go drink wine to celebrate, but Black Panther had walked up to them just as they were about to enter the palace. "Princess, the Prince has invited you over."
"I have an appointment. Let him drink at my place. Let's celebrate together." Hua Ruge thought for a while.
As she spoke, one of her arm was wrapped around Su Nianxia and the other on Tuoba Yu's shoulder.
Black Panther heard this and was at a loss for words.
Hua Ruge felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Su Nianxia's eyes turned, and placed Hua Ruge's arm down, then said: "Big sister Ruge, I suddenly thought of something, and decided to drink some other time."
She gave Tuoba Yu a meaningful look.
Hua Ruge was confused.
Su Nianxia did not say that Tuoba Yu had also thought of it, but before Su Nianxia could finish speaking, he put down Hua Ruge's arm and said: "It's really unfortunate, I also have some matters to attend to, let's meet another time."
What a joke, Battle King obviously wanted to see Hua Ruge alone. They really did understand that Hua Ruge was such a lunatic that they did not understand, thus they left him behind with a tacit understanding.
Before Hua Ruge could react, the two of them had already left.
"Didn't you already say so? Are you guys going to talk about loyalty? " Hua Ruge shouted from behind.
The two people in front walked faster and faster.
The panther held back its laughter.
Hua Ruge glanced at him and asked: "Your Prince doesn't know how to eat people, do they have to be so afraid?"
Black Panther lowered its head and did not speak, thinking to itself, "Other than you, when has the Prince ever had a good character?"
Hua Ruge had no choice but to follow him to Tuoba Rui's palace. Before they could even enter the main hall, Black Panther said, "Princess, the prince is in the kitchen."
"What's he doing there?" Hua Ruge asked in surprise.
"His Royal Highness said to celebrate your victory today, and to personally cook." As the black panther spoke, its face was filled with disbelief.
Before this, he had never thought that his indifferent and noble master would have even a little bit to do with cooking.
Hua Ruge was also shocked, did Battle King cook? Could it be that a red rain was going to fall from the sky?
She headed for the kitchen.
Behind him, Black Panther sighed. His master was really too good to his wangfei.
In the kitchen with smoke billowing everywhere, Tuoba Rui was wearing a black robe. The bottom of her robe was tucked into her belt and she was currently stir-frying the dishes in the pot.
When Hua Ruge walked closer, she thought that she would see Tuoba Rui, who was extremely comical, and laugh. However, at this moment, she had become silent, as though she had many things that she was unable to say, and could only silently weave them into emotions.
Who would have thought that this man, who was as lofty as a god, would one day go to the kitchen for a girl?
He was noble and indifferent like a flower on a snowy mountain, but for her, he walked step by step towards the mortal world. He learned to do things that were completely incompatible with his identity, just so that he could give her simple happiness.
Sensing her gaze, he tilted his head and said, "The smoke is too thick here. You should move far away so that you can eat it soon."
"Since you already cooked, how embarrassing would it be to let me wait for you to eat?" Hua Ruge said as he walked in and squatted by the stove to burn firewood.
The firewood was too wet, so there was smoke. She picked up a dry branch and put it in, and the smoke quickly dispersed. She could see everything clearly in the kitchen.
She raised her head and saw that his movements were stiff and clumsy. She could not help but smile as she asked, "Why do you insist on doing it yourself?"
Tuoba Rui was in the middle of slicing vegetables with a frown, but upon hearing this he casually said: "I don't want to miss it."
"What?" Hua Ruge did not understand.
Tuoba Rui stopped cutting vegetables and turned to look at her. He smiled: "I want to do everything I can for you."
"You sure are numb." Hua Ruge shook his shoulders, concealing the nervousness he felt when he saw this scene unfold.
"It's not enough ?" Tuoba Rui's eyes turned as he said, "Otherwise, you would have been moved to hug me."
"You wish." Hua Ruge dusted his hands on his palms, not wanting to let him see his flushed ears.
Tuoba Rui saw that she looked a little uncomfortable, gave a doting smile, and turned his head to continue cutting the vegetables.
He had his back to her as she cut the vegetables. The more she looked at him, the more she wanted to get closer. She did not know where she got the courage to go.
The moment before she hugged him, Tuoba Rui wanted to turn around and talk to her, and was still maintaining the posture of holding the kitchen knife in one hand and the carrot in the other, but Hua Ruge didn't react.
Tuoba Rui lowered his head and looked up. Both their eyes met for a moment.
When he regained his senses, Tuoba Rui smiled with satisfaction.
Hua Ruge's embarrassed face turned red. He had originally wanted to sneak attack and run away with a hug, why did he bump into her?
Logically speaking, she should have just let go of him and run away, but she just couldn't bear it. She didn't know if it was because she was moved or because of some emotion, but right now, she couldn't understand how she wanted to get closer to him.
"Little Ge." Tuoba Rui said gently.
Hua Ruge pressed her head against his chest without lifting her head, and replied with a red face: "Mhm."
"Do you like me more?" he asked.
Hua Ruge found it hard to believe that he could actually say such a thing. She mulled over her emotions for a while, but she still didn't say it out loud.
As soon as she encountered this, she completely lost her intellectual advantage.
"That's not hard to guess." She choked out the words.
Tuoba Rui lowered his head, placed a kiss on her smooth forehead, and said: "So it turns out Xiao Ge is actually this shy."
"Who said that?" Hua Ruge raised his head, his eyes round, looking very cute.
Tuoba Rui continued to tease: "My face is already red."
"If the girl doesn't show her prowess, you'll think I'm just dreaming, right?" Hua Ruge straightened her body and wrapped her arms around his neck, raising her head and kissing his lips.
She, who was used to taking the initiative, really couldn't bear being taken advantage of forever. She swore to take it all back.
