Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 715

Chapter 715: Chapter 618: Elder Brother (Part 2)

Gong Yao’s body went rigid for a moment, then slowly relaxed again, but her eyes grew even wetter.

Your Majesty really is so gentle and down-to-earth, no wonder...

She steadied her emotions and asked, "What does Your Majesty wish to ask me?"

Shen Tang looked at her. "Have you seen me before? I keep feeling like you seem to know me." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Gong Yao shook her head. "I’m just an ordinary person from a small tribe, I never had the chance to know Your Majesty. Only that time when you went to the Icefield, I saw you from a distance... But afterward, I did often pay attention to news about Your Majesty, because..."

Shen Tang finished the sentence for her. "Because of Yun Han, right?"

With her secret laid bare, Gong Yao’s cheeks flushed even redder. She nodded, embarrassed. "I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I don’t know if this counts as overstepping..."

Shen Tang didn’t mind. "There’s nothing wrong with that. Back when Yun Han quietly left the Imperial City for the Northern Territory, once I found out, I’d always hoped he could completely put the past down and find a female who truly loved him and would walk by his side."

"You can stay by his side and keep him from being alone anymore; I’m truly happy for you both."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being willing to say these things to me."

Shen Tang’s tone was gentle, like casual conversation. "When did you and he meet?"

After a few exchanges, the atmosphere relaxed quite a bit, and Gong Yao gradually loosened up as well.

She lifted her eyes to Shen Tang, sorrow rising in them, as if she had gone back to the past. "A year ago, our tribe was attacked by a herd of beasts—it was Yun Han who saved us. Later, my brother and I followed him to the city to settle down, and my brother joined his squad... That’s how we slowly got to know each other."

Shen Tang nodded. "So you two got together because of a life-saving debt?"

Gong Yao shook her head, lowered her gaze to her own fingers, and showed a smile that was both sweet and bitter. "Not exactly."

"He was just passing by then, lent a hand in passing, and probably didn’t even notice me."

"But I fell in love with him at first sight. For this life, it could only ever be him, so I wanted to pursue him."
