Yun Han felt a sudden realization, his hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, then weakened and loosened.
Outsiders praised that he and Shen Qingli were in harmony, but in his mory, despite being together for so long, they never seed to have such a mont; Shen Qingli never did such a thing for him.
This mont, Yun Han suddenly doubted, does Shen Qingli really love him?
"Hey, you over there at the door, what are you doing here?" Jia Lan noticed the tall figure standing dumbfounded not far away, put down his chopsticks, and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
Shen Tang also turned her head to look, only to find Yun Han standing at the small courtyard gate not far away, half his body hidden in the shadow, holding sothing in his hand, looking quite distraught.
Who knows how long he had been watching.
Shen Tang frowned slightly, but did not get up to greet him, and spoke coldly, "What are you doing here so late at night?"
"...I’m sorry for what happened this ti, I ca to apologize in person." Yun Han walked into the courtyard, not wanting to disturb, he placed the things on the ground.
The Beast Husbands all looked surprised as if they didn’t expect him to co at night to apologize.
Shen Tang was also surprised, not expecting him to personally bring gifts to apologize; she glanced at them, they were all very precious gifts, so even impossible to buy without queuing, though she wasn’t much interested in these things now, one could only say it was a token of his sincerity.
But after all, Shen Qingli was the real cause of the rumors, it had nothing to do with the Yun Family or Yun Han, from what Yun Han said at the council, he probably didn’t even know.
Shen Tang opened her mouth, thinking of finding an excuse to let him take these things back, but then saw Yun Han suddenly sniff, looking curiously and unexpectedly at the food on the table, "Slls so good, what are you eating?"
After arguing with Shen Qingli, he hadn’t had ti to eat, nor was he in the mood to eat.
After entering the courtyard, the increasingly rich aroma made him swallow his saliva, and he subconsciously asked, "Can I have a taste?"
After speaking, Yun Han realized, showing a look of embarrassnt and awkwardness, but didn’t hurriedly try to correct himself.
Jia Lan’s temple twitched slightly, where did this wolf get the nerve? Just as he was about to speak and drive him away, Shen Tang quickly stopped him, "A guest is a guest, don’t say unpleasant words."
Jia Lan had to suppress his irritation again.
Shen Tang gave Yun Han a reasonably friendly smile, "Since the Young Master Yun Family ca all this way, it wouldn’t be right to send you back on an empty stomach. Xiao Jin, go get another chair from inside, Lu Xiao, get so more at and vegetables from the fridge."
As they say, one cannot slap a smiling face; since he ca over to apologize, no matter what, the sincerity was there for all to see. Shen Tang couldn’t disregard Young Master Yun’s face, sharing a al was nothing.
Xiao Jin was a bit reluctant, but still listened and went inside to get another chair, though he placed it at the farthest edge from Shen Tang.
Lu Xiao didn’t say anything; he also hoped to establish good relations with the Yun Family. The old grandfather of the Yun Family was now quite old and had lost his superpower, soon the power would transfer to Yun Han, improving relations was beneficial to Shen Tang at present.
He went back to the kitchen to fetch a large plate of at and dipped it into the clear soup pot.
Yun Han was a bit uneasy at first, but soon, he was captivated by the delicious al, not having the ti to care about other things.
As the Young Master Yun, he had eaten all sorts of delicacies, yet it was his first ti tasting such delicious food, much better than those so-called famous chefs in restaurants. Of course, the most important was the quality of the ingredients; many types of vegetables he had never seen before, like those dough balls, and so unnad pasta and at dishes, he had no idea how they were made.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, "I’ve lived over twenty years, yet it’s my first ti having such delicious food."
The Beast Husbands, seeing him like this, couldn’t help but recall their first experience with Shen Tang’s cooking, they were also amazed.
Lu Xiao smiled, "This is what the Female Master taught us to make back when we were in the contaminated area."
Yun Han was taken aback, looking at Shen Tang, bitterly smiling, feeling sowhat rueful, "I never knew you, raised in such privilege, knew how to do this."
Shen Tang nonchalantly said, "The conditions in the contaminated area were tough, many things were hard to swallow, so I naturally had to learn a bit, eventually, I managed to learn when forced."
The Beast Husbands knew she was fibbing, but didn’t bother to explain.
Yun Han, hearing this, felt even more conflicted, he could imagine how hard it must have been for her, a pampered noble princess, during her ti in the contaminated areas.
At the sa ti, he was puzzled; he had witnessed Shen Tang’s actions on the battlefield and knew her hatred for the rebel army. Did she really collude with the rebels back then? Could there be other circumstances?
Yun Han lowered his head to eat quietly, not wanting to disturb more, and soon enough, everyone didn’t mind this minor interlude, continuing to eat heartily.
Shen Tang constantly added dishes for the Beast Husbands, asking them to taste and suggesting improvents, like using less salt next ti.
The dining table quickly regained a lively and relaxed atmosphere.
Amidst the cheerful laughter, Yun Han appeared particularly lonely.
But he was, after all, an outsider who had ekly enjoyed a al and had no right to say much else.
As he watched the warm and harmonious scene before him, an unprecedented feeling arose in him—this was the atmosphere between partners, filled with the essence of ho. It was a pity his first experience was amidst others.
Especially from his forr fiancée, whom he had broken off the engagent with.
A sense of indescribable bitterness welled in Yun Han’s heart, even causing the tasty al to beco a bit hard to swallow. He put down his chopsticks and turned to ask Lu Xiao, "Got any wine?"
Lu Xiao was the only Beast Husband who maintained a more respectful attitude towards him and didn’t deliberately mock him, so hearing his request, he nodded, "Yes."
He got up to get a bottle of wine from inside and handed it to Yun Han, "This is also what the Female Master taught us to brew years ago, it tastes great, but the liquor is a bit strong, take it easy."
Hearing these words, Yun Han felt even more choked up, he poured a bowl of wine and downed it in one go.
By the end of the al, Yun Han had drunk quite a lot, but he seed to handle alcohol well, and besides a slightly red face, he spoke clearly, so Shen Tang didn’t interfere much.
Shen Tang wanted him to take the gifts back, but Yun Han said, "Once I’ve given sothing, I never take it back. If you don’t want it, just throw it away."
"..." Such expensive items, how could I bear to throw them away?
Never mind, Shen Tang accepted them; after being maliciously slandered for so many days, it was normal to receive so apology gifts, anyway she could give them to others later.
She sincerely said, "Thank you for speaking up for at the council."
Yun Han shook his head and smiled lightly, "It’s not like I spoke up for you on purpose; it was just my heartfelt words. You did so many good things on the battlefield, if I, ignoring right and wrong, stayed silent and slandered you instead, then I’d truly be a scoundrel."
