Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 328: Chapter 320: Yun Family’s Military Authority

Yun Han gripped the wine bottle in his hand indifferently, with such force that it almost shattered, unable to utter a word.

He let out a bitter laugh, raised the bottle as if to get himself drunk, but Yun Hong went up to him and snatched it away, throwing it to the ground with a crisp sound.

”Answer me properly! What’s going on in your head? Do you have feelings for Princess Shen Tang or not?”

”Yes, I love her! But so what?”

Yun Han suddenly stood up from the ground, his eyes wet and red, his breath trembling, and his chest heaving violently!

Recalling the memories with Shen Tang, the pain in his heart surged like a tide, almost drowning him.

He had never understood what this strange emotion was, but now he finally understood, it was regret.

It was remorse.

It was a missed opportunity.

He had unknowingly fallen in love with her long ago.

Unfortunately, his realization came too late.

Yun Han locked himself in this small confinement room, just like his sealed heart, once unable to think deeply, unable to admit it.

Now, he finally had the courage to say those words.

”Father, I’ve fallen in love with her.”

Yun Han sat back on the bed, repeating it again, unsure if it was meant for Yun Hong or for himself, ”I love her.”

Not just infatuation, but deep love.

Yun Hong sighed deeply, as his father, how could he not see his son’s thoughts?

How could Yun Han, such a prideful Beastman, care so much about an irrelevant female? It was just that in the past, he was bound by Shen Qingli, unable to see his true feelings, and Yun Hong, as his father, could not point it out.

Now, Yun Han was free again, and had the eligibility to seek a new Female Master.

Especially after Yun Han’s attempted suicide led him to the hospital, Shen Tang came to save him in the middle of the night, offering earnest advice, and the slap that woke him up and planted the seed of deep love.

Since that night, Yun Han had let go of the past. But now, still in this sluggish state, the problem must lie elsewhere.

Yun Hong gently persuaded, ”Han, if you truly admire Princess Shen Tang, now is the time to pursue her boldly. Locking yourself in your room, how will she know your feelings?”

Yun Han shook his head bitterly, ”... it’s impossible between me and her.”

”How is it impossible? Now you are free, though the reputation of remarriage isn’t pleasant, you may not match the current Beast Husbands around Shen Tang, but you can let go of your pride, suffer a little to be secondary.” Yun Hong urged, ”Now the Empire is in a turbulent state, with a new king ascending the throne, Shen Tang needs a political marriage to secure her reign. Regardless of your situation, the power of the Yun Family is there, she will definitely need it!”

”...”

”For emperors, love is the least valuable thing. Even if Shen Tang doesn’t like you, marrying you brings countless benefits with no harm. She won’t refuse, and there is still time!”

Yun Han’s Adam’s apple rolled with self-deprecation, ”Is it really as you say?”

”Your father is a veteran of two regimes, why would I lie to you? Indeed, you and Princess Shen Tang had past unpleasantness, and it might take her time to accept you, but time heals all wounds. Once married, if you assist her wholeheartedly and take care of her, my son, being so handsome and excellent, she will surely grow fond of you again.”

As Yun Hong spoke, he took out a brocade box from somewhere, handing it to Yun Han.

Yun Hong whispered, ”You’re a married man, be smarter! As for other things, I don’t need to teach you any further.”

Yun Han opened the brocade box and was shocked to find—it was the Seal Ring of the Yun Family!?

With this Seal Ring, you could command the entire Yun Family and hold the military power of ten thousand troops!

The Yun Family and Yin Family have never handed it over to an outsider.

Father actually...

Seeing Yun Han showing some signs of life, Yun Hong smiled with relief. His gaze fell on the seal ring in Yun Han’s hand, filled with emotion, ”Both you and I owe a life debt to the Princess, which is truly impossible to repay. This military power should be handed over! Consider it a gift for the new king’s enthronement!”

Then, Yun Hong turned again to look at the stunned Yun Han, clenching his teeth, resentful yet hopeful, ”Today, you must deliver this seal ring to Shen Tang, or don’t return!”

Yun Han snapped back to reality, closed the brocade box, gripping it tightly, ”... I understand.”

After saying this, he left the Yun Family.

Since the wedding, Yun Han had been confined for so long, it was his first time outside. The pale sunlight made his eyes sting, and he felt uncomfortable with the gazes of the passersby.

The citizens of the city had not seen Yun Han for a long time, and as the days passed, the wedding scandal gradually calmed, but many were still whispering and gossiping upon seeing him.

There wasn’t much slander, more of regret and sighs.

”Ah, how proud the Young Master Yun once was, the pride of the heavens, many noble females wanted to marry him but couldn’t, yet who would have thought his love life would be so tumultuous, ending like this, truly lamentable.”

”Fate is unpredictable, so mysterious, who would’ve thought Princess Shen Tang would now become the empire’s heir, and soon to be officially crowned as the true ruler of this empire.”

”Speaking of it, Princess Shen Tang was once infatuated with Yun Han to madness, even vowing that if he married her, she would not marry another Beast Husband in this life, he agreed back then, how wonderful it would’ve been!”

”Unfortunately, the two already broke up, Yun Han personally tore up the engagement, marrying his imagined true love, but who knew, that true love secretly raised so many male slaves, even colluded with the enemy, having a secret affair with the rebel army’s general, causing such a scandal at the wedding venue... if I were him, I’d have gone mad by now!”

”Alas, such a pity, it’s all destiny!”

”The Young Master Yun must be regretting it to death now.”

”...”

Yun Han heard these people’s discussions, his lips curled in bitterness.

They were right, he did regret it.

Does he really have a chance to make amends?

Halfway through, Yun Han looked at the vaguely visible eaves in the distance, but stopped hesitating, afraid to move forward.

Empty-handed, would he appear insincere if he just went like this?

He should bring a gift, not for anything else, at least to thank her for saving his life last time.

But Yun Han suddenly realized, he didn’t even know what Shen Tang liked.

He claimed to love her but didn’t even know her favorite food.

Clouded with melancholy in his eyes, Yun Han impulsively opened the Light Computer. He rarely logged in to check those boring news, but now, he couldn’t resist wanting to secretly search for news about her, to see if he could find any clues.

He opened the search bar on the Light Computer, and first typed in [Shen Tang].

Then, hesitating slightly.

A moment later.

He then followed her name with his own.

The two names side by side seemed like some solace, calming his nervous mood somewhat inexplicably.

Yun Han suddenly became curious.

Would there be any news about the two of them together?

What would the reports say?

Would anyone think they are a good match?

He pressed [Confirm].

Soon, the page popped up, with a video ranked first, appearing to be casually recorded by a passerby.

The likes and comments were numerous.

Holding his breath, Yun Han hesitated for a few seconds, then clicked on the video.
