Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543: Chapter 513: Little Ice Sculpture

As Shen Tang turned, she caught a glimpse of a blue figure quietly leaving out of the corner of her eye. She was stunned, looked towards the door, and muttered, "Ah Lan..."

She threw down the snowball and quickly went to the door but couldn’t see any trace of the young man, only a string of shallow footprints left behind.

Suddenly, Shen Tang lost her playful mood, a trace of bitterness and sadness rising in her heart.

Since she came back, the two had been distant, Jia Lan no longer actively seeking her out, even intentionally or unintentionally avoiding her, always with excuses of being busy, and his attitude especially cold toward her.

In recent days, she had sought out Jia Lan several times, trying to ease their relationship, but it seemed to have little effect.

She knew he was still angry about that incident, but she didn’t know how to make him feel better.

Jia Lan was proud and pampered, often throwing small tantrums from time to time, mostly directed at outsiders, whether it was a vendor whose goods didn’t match the sample or a dealer who miscalculated accounts...but every time she coaxed him, it got better, but somehow this time was particularly difficult!

Shen Tang could feel their relationship gradually estranging; she wanted to work hard to mend it, but it seemed some invisible force was pushing them apart.

Her mood inevitably turned gloomy.

Xiao Jin and Xue Yinzhou noticed her mood, and stopped their open and covert fighting.

Xiao Jin walked up to her, brushed off the snow on her hair, and asked softly, "Tangtang, what’s the matter? Is it too cold outside? It’s all my fault, why don’t we go inside first!"

Shen Tang shook her head, murmuring, "I’m fine, just a little sad..."

She crouched down, scooped up a handful of pure white snow, and gently molded it. Soon, a small snowfish appeared in her palm.

"Someone might be sadder than me, but, I don’t know how to console him..."

Who this "him" referred to went without saying.

Even Xue Yinzhou could see the subtle changes between Shen Tang and Jia Lan these few days.

He pursed his lips, unwilling, but even more unwilling to see the female upset, "You can go talk to him, if he doesn’t say anything—"

Then tie him up and force him to confess!

Before Xue Yinzhou could finish that sentence, he saw the female stand up and nod heavily, "Mm, you’re right! I need to go talk to him!"

Shen Tang looked at the two Beast Husbands, her beautiful face lighting up with a smile again, "You two go back first, I’ll go over there this time definitely to talk to him properly."

...

Jia Lan returned to the palace, looking at the pond in the courtyard slowly freezing under the white snow.

He moved his fingertips, but ultimately didn’t care and turned around to the room to the bathroom, taking off his clothes.

The young man’s body slender and long, yet perfectly proportioned, like an Ancient Greek sculpture.

He soaked into the bathtub, hands lazily resting on the edges, closed his eyes.

The white mist hazily covered the glass door in a layer of steam. Most of his body submerged in the water, his chest exposed above, the skin cold white and dazzling under the light, the collarbone delicate as carved jade, exuding a unique allure and charm.

Even soaked in warm water, Jia Lan’s mood inexplicably icy and lonely, as if in an endless abyss.

An enticing voice occasionally sounded by his ear, growing clearer and disturbing his fragile emotions...

Suddenly, Jia Lan heard something, opening his eyes to look outside the door.

Shen Tang arrived at Jia Lan’s palace, called out a couple of times as she entered the room but saw no figure. Suddenly, she heard the sound of water trickling from the bathroom, so she walked over, looking at the glass door covered in mist, and softly called, "Ah Lan~"

Through the glass door, Jia Lan clearly heard the female’s voice. She deliberately softened her tone, appearing even more tender and sweet...this was her usual trick when acting coquettish.
