Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 464: Will You Regret It?

"This... Linlang Pavilion stopped selling long ago, the rough stone in the store, was it you who bought it?!" Shen Tang quickly realized, her eyes widening.

"Yes." Shen Li looked at her, his lips curling into a charming smile, and said softly, "The moment I saw it, I felt it suited you perfectly."

Shen Tang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, "I went there specifically to buy this jade stone, thinking about it all the way, not expecting that someone had bought it in advance, and even more unexpected that it was you!"

"Does this mean there’s a telepathic connection between Xiao Tang’er and me?" Shen Li’s slender, jade-like fingers hooked a strand of her hair, bringing it to his nose for a gentle sniff.

The atmosphere between them seemed like ice melting, becoming much more gentle.

Shen Tang felt a bit unnatural inside but did not push Shen Li away. She blinked, her bright, dark cat eyes meeting his gaze, and pouted, complaining, "Oh~ You, the emperor, are too domineering, buying all the rough stones back, leaving me with nowhere to buy them."

She raised her eyebrows, with an imperious tone, "You should still have a lot of jade material in your hands, right? Can you give me some?"

Looking at her arrogant little demeanor, Shen Li’s handsome face broke into an even deeper smile, he regretfully shook his head, "None left."

He did want to give her some, to please her.

Sadly, he really couldn’t take out any more.

"How is that possible?" Shen Tang widened her eyes in disbelief, then looked at the jade carving in her hand that was not even half the size of a palm, frowning with delicate brows, "You bought such a large rough stone, only used such a small piece, surely there’s a lot left."

"I failed many times, only succeeded this once." Shen Li explained.

He is considered a rather casual person.

But in this small matter, he’s overly meticulous.

Even one mistake in carving, if it’s the slightest bit off, is enough for him to destroy it outright.

A large, precious rough stone left only this small finished piece.

Shen Li’s slender, jade-like fingers rested in her warm, soft palm, extending one fingertip to gently rub the little cat jade carving’s head.

The little cat was carved with extraordinary finesse, each whisker distinct, but it was angry, the whiskers slightly raised.

This vivid expression, perhaps there isn’t a second like it in the whole world!

Not to mention those crudely made counterfeits at street stalls, even the so-called master craftsmanship of Linlang Pavilion couldn’t compare!

Shen Li gazed at Shen Tang’s face, catching every subtle expression. He asked nervously, "Xiao Tang’er, do you like it?"

Shen Tang looked at the lifelike little cat jade carving in her hand, gently touching it, the top-quality jade and carving making her unable to part with it.

She nodded sincerely, "I like it very much!"

With that, Shen Tang leaned forward to kiss his lips.

Shen Li’s pupils constricted, his whole body filled with boiling desire!

Shen Tang turned her face away, a bit unnatural, "Ahem, don’t overthink it, this is... a thank-you gift!"

Shen Li held her waist, turned and pressed down, his large hand clasping the back of her head, bending down to deepen this long-awaited passionate kiss.

He said,

"But I am not."

He wanted to kiss her.

Wanted to hold her.

Wanted her. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

That was all.

Shen Tang endured Shen Li’s domineering and passionate emotions, finding it hard to breathe, yet it made her feel both shocked and a hint of a long-lost infatuation.

The once aloof Shen Li, who seemed tender and passionate towards her, yet Shen Tang could sense that hidden aloofness, creating a boundary with her.
