Chapter 229
Yun Han’s face showed surprise, and his frown deepened.
That ugly female just left so easily?
He seemed a bit incredulous and asked again in a low voice, “She didn’t mention me p>
Lin Yu and the others all shook their heads, “No p>
Lin Yu glanced at his young master’s expression, hesitating to speak, but decided to say it anyway, “Not only that, we mentioned the young master’s name, but Princess Shen Tang showed no reaction. She was rather impatient and even became furious, telling us to… cough, shut up p>
Lin Yu feared his young master would get angry, so he put it mildly. The female’s original words were much harsher, directly calling them dogs and telling them to get lost!
Yun Han lay back lazily on the sofa, a slender arm casually resting on the armrest. He rubbed the glass in his hand with his right hand, his deep, narrow black eyes landing in the shadows, lost in thought.
He looked out at all his subordinates in front of him and only then realized a few were missing, “Where’s Lin Feng and the others p>
As soon as he said this, Lin Yu and the others became even more nervous, not daring to tell the Young Master what had happened downstairs.
A clever beastman rolled his eyes, avoiding the main point and exaggerating, “Young Master, you have no idea how over-the-top that female Shen Tang was! After meeting us downstairs, she used her status as the Empire Princess to threaten us. We refused to comply, so she took the opportunity to slander us and had people imprison Lin Feng and the others. We… we were afraid you’d be upset and didn’t dare to tell you p>
Yun Han’s face darkened like ink, brewing a storm.
Suddenly, his thin lips curved into a sneer, as if realizing that’s how it was all supposed to be.
He knew it, how could that ugly woman willingly walk away? So she was just waiting for him here!
Yun Han didn’t ask in detail about the incident, having seen Shen Tang perform enough foolish acts before. It was merely an attempt to draw his attention.
“No matter, once we’re done here, I’ll ransom them back,” Yun Han said casually, not concerned.
Lin Yu hesitated, “This time it’s quite a big deal, I’m afraid… she won’t let them go easily p>
Yun Han showed impatience, coldly interrupting, “Isn’t it just to make me personally beg her? As before, her disgusting schemes haven’t improved at all p>
Yun Han inwardly understood that the ugly woman loved him to the point of obsession, merely playing hard to get to attract his attention. As always, it was foolish and ridiculous.
“Don’t bother with her!” Yun Han said confidently, “To think this Young Master would beg her is nothing but a wild dream, soon she’ll be begging me p>
He let out another cold laugh,
“To try to blackmail me with this, dream on p>
Lin Yu saw his confident demeanor, wanting to speak but swallowing his words again.
Forget it, the Young Master has spoken; why should they meddle?
Yun Han soon put the matter at the back of his mind, thinking of the lantern festival by the moat tonight.
Such a romantic setting has always been a sacred place for young males and females to date.
Yun Han felt guilty; he had been away for months, neglecting Qingli and letting her suffer, so he thought of taking her out for fun tonight.
Yun Han opened the Light Computer and made a video call, wanting to discuss the matter with Shen Qingli.
Meanwhile, in the Princess Mansion, Shen Qingli was lying in the arms of a handsome young beastman with short brown hair, awakened by the vibration of the Light Computer.
Her clothes were disheveled, her cheeks flushed with a mesmerizing spring color, clearly indicating what they’d been up to.
Shen Qingli opened her sleepy eyes, saw the video call from Yun Han, and her face changed, instantly wide awake!
Yun Han had been busy preparing for the wedding these days, and they hadn’t seen each other for several days. Shen Qingli was not someone content with loneliness; when bored, she played with the male slaves in the mansion.
But she wasn’t foolish, knowing how to prioritize.
The male slaves for pleasure couldn’t compare with the beast husband she was to marry.
Given Yun Han’s domineering and arrogant nature, if he saw her in bed with another male, he’d surely be enraged to the extreme.
She didn’t want to lose this trump card.
Shen Qingli quickly put on her clothes, covered the marks, and let the male slave leave.
The male slave glanced at the Light Computer, showed displeasure, and bowed out.
After ensuring no traces were left in the room, Shen Qingli opened the video call.
Yun Han waited for a long time before the call was answered. He was about to question her displeasure when he saw Shen Qingli’s messy hair and flushed cheeks in the video.
Switching his tone, he frowned and asked, “What happened to you? Are you feeling unwell p>
Shen Qingli lightly coughed twice, feigning weakness as she replied, “Caught a cold last night with a bit of a fever, nothing serious p>
With this, she smiled gently, “Yun Han brother, are you finished with your work? Is there something you wanted to tell me p>
Yun Han’s sword brows furrowed slightly; instinctively, he glanced around the room, finding no one else present, so he didn’t think further.
Seeing the female’s delicate and charming face, his heart ached even more as he said, “There’s a lantern festival in town tonight; I originally wanted to take you there for fun. But seeing you’re sick, we can forget about it p>
Shen Qingli didn’t want to miss this opportunity to cultivate feelings, so she quickly put on a strong yet shy demeanor, softly saying, “Yun Han brother, I’m fine, feeling much better now. I actually wanted to go out tonight too. I heard there’s a lotus lantern made by a master at the festival. If you write down your wish with your loved one and put it in the lantern to float down the river, it’ll come true p>
“I really want to go with you, Yun Han brother p>
Seeing her so pure and gentle, Yun Han’s heart softened to a mess. How could there be such a beautiful and gentle female in the world?
Compared to her, that ugly woman Shen Tang was not even worthy of comparison!
No, not even fit to be compared!
His decision to call off the engagement back then was the most correct choice!
As night fell, stars and the moon emerged.
Shen Tang and Shen Li were also heading towards the moat.
From afar, she could see the brilliant and colorful lights, extremely beautiful.
As they drew closer, a system prompt sounded in her mind,
[Host, you better take that Body Fragrance Pill in your backpack now; it’s about to expire p>
Shen Tang looked puzzled, “Do these things really expire p>
[Yes, items like the Weight Loss Pill and Body Fragrance Pill have a certain time limit. After they expire, their effects are greatly reduced or even lost! The Body Fragrance Pill expires in three days; don’t waste such a good thing, Host p>
These days, Shen Tang wasn’t too urgent about becoming more beautiful, so she’d almost forgotten about the Body Fragrance Pill in her backpack. Hearing the system’s prompt, she did not hesitate and took the Body Fragrance Pill from her backpack, swallowing it while pretending to cover her mouth.
The elixir melted as soon as it entered her mouth.
She didn’t feel many changes.
Opening the system’s personal information page, her stats improved.
