Chapter 238: Chapter 238 - 230: A Slap

Shen Tang’s heart skipped a beat, she took two steps back!

Why is Yun Han here?

It must be an accidental encounter... What a coincidence, no, I should have checked the calendar before going out, what bad luck!

Shen Tang looked indifferent, pretending not to see him, but just as she was about to pass by, Yun Han suddenly grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wall!

The man’s strength was overwhelming, his tall shadow loomed over her, mixed with a bitter cold and a hint of tobacco, full of aggression! Enveloping Shen Tang completely!

Shen Tang nearly lost her temper.

She widened her beautiful eyes in shock, raising her eyes to meet Yun Han’s deep, brooding gaze, hiding emotions she couldn’t fathom.

His lips slightly lifted, he coldly asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Shen Tang looked at him dumbfounded, what was this?

What the hell was this damn maniac doing?

Did he specifically come to the restroom just to block her?

She couldn’t tell, what a pervert!

"You’re sick!" Shen Tang said angrily, forcefully shook him off, and turned to leave quickly.

Yet unexpectedly, he blocked her way again, leaving no exit.

Yun Han stared at her coldly, sneering, "Stop pretending, you went through all this effort today just to get close to me?"

Shen Tang wondered if she heard wrong.

Could such words really come from a sane person’s mouth?

She frowningly looked at the tall, handsome silver-haired man before her, he looked the part, but why couldn’t he say anything worthwhile?

She spoke with not anger this time, but with a tone of pity, "Young Master of Yun Family, I don’t have a medical license, I recommend turning left at the exit and getting treated properly at the Imperial First Hospital!"

Her lips, as red as a flower, spilled merciless ridicule, leaving even Yun Han stunned.

He furrowed his long, sharp brows, deeply staring at her, as if trying to discern some flaw.

In his memory, Shen Tang, though a noble Empire Princess, always acted subservient and ingratiating in front of him.

She even resorted to despicable and vulgar means to win him over, further stoking his disdain and disgust.

But now she seemed like a different person altogether, her gaze devoid of affection, filled only with infinite indifference and aloofness, even unmistakable contempt.

Yun Han, at least as the young master of the Yun Family, met various people growing up. Though proud and arrogant, he was no fool, he could see her disdain wasn’t an act, and it was exactly this point that left him more shocked and incredulous.

Wasn’t Shen Tang obsessed with him? Why had she turned like this?

Before, he had wished to rid himself of Shen Tang, but now, he didn’t want to believe that Shen Tang was indifferent to him.

Yun Han’s jawline tightened, coolly he said, "Is that really what you think?"

Shen Tang rolled her eyes, "Some people really are narcissistic and deranged, do they really think everyone fancies them?"

The original owner was blind, doesn’t mean she is.

Her five beast husbands were far better than him, even if not as capable as Yun Han, they were obedient, considerate, and caring, better than this arrogant dog of a man?

"..."

Yun Han’s expression darkened, his entire body radiated coldness, frighteningly chilly.

His lips pressed tightly, his eyes sharp and grim, fixated on her. What should have been a satisfying outcome left his emotions more agitated, his fingers subconsciously clenched into fists.

Previously, Shen Tang would do anything, try any trick just to get close to him.

Perhaps it was the inherent male pride, or his own arrogance.

He couldn’t believe she’d let go of him easily.

"The words you said back then, the whole Empire knows."

"Why don’t you consider it a fart, alright?"

Shen Tang truly couldn’t understand, clearly he was the one who abandoned the original owner, what was he sticking around for now? Acting like she was the one who abandoned him.

Indeed, this dog of a man only considers those he can’t have as the best, the less attention he gets, the more his heart churns, the more unwilling he becomes!

Yun Han’s lips formed a rigid, cold line, unable to utter a single word.

The brief confrontation felt like half a century.

Yun Han seemed to understand something, suddenly he laughed, "You just wanted to get revenge for past insults, deliberately using these words to vex me, didn’t you?"

"..." Shen Tang looked at him, and laughed too.

Damn it, she was purely amused.

She really didn’t know where this dog of a man’s confidence came from?

"Get lost if you have nothing to do, don’t show up in front of me when you’re in trouble, I’m sick of you!" Shen Tang couldn’t be bothered to waste more words on him, leaving this statement before preparing to leave.

Yun Han stretched out his hand to grab her shoulder.

This time, Shen Tang couldn’t hold it back, it was almost simultaneous—

"Slap!"

A crisp slap rang in the air, resonantly loud!

An obvious palm print appeared on Yun Han’s impeccable face.

He instantly froze in place, stunned.

For the first time in his life, a female slapped him!

No female had ever dared treat him like this!

Shen Tang looked at the clear palm print on the man’s face, then turned to look at her hand still hanging mid-air, turning red and numbing, and was dumbfounded.

She impulsively really slapped him?!

The consequence of the hand being quicker than the brain was terrifying!

Yun Han stared at her, face dark to the extreme, brewing storm and fury.

Shen Tang swallowed hard, took several steps back, and was just wondering what to do when a Wind Blade split the air from behind her!

Yun Han’s expression changed drastically, almost simultaneously dodging sideways.

His cheekbone still got a shallow cut bleeding.

He turned with a somber face towards Lu Xiao and his group arriving, his voice cold as if forced through clenched teeth, "Daring to strike at a banquet, do you have a death wish?!"

Xiao Jin quickly ran up, wrapped Shen Tang in his arms, and worriedly asked, "Are you hurt?"

They saw she hadn’t returned for ages and came to check, encountering trouble unexpectedly!

Xue Yinzhou immediately saw the red mark on Shen Tang’s wrist, his entire demeanor freezing cold, his icy silver-purple eyes full of murderous intent towards Yun Han, ready to strike the next moment.

Shen Li quickly stepped forward to stop him, gently shook his head, this wasn’t the right place for a brawl.

Shen Tang’s reputation had just begun to improve, it was unwise to cause a commotion.

Shen Li turned to the displeased-looking Yun Han, his face bearing a gentle, fitting smile, but his voice was terrifyingly soft, "Why doesn’t Young Master Yun Han consider who started it first."

Lu Xiao spoke solemnly, "Privately laying hands on a female, according to Empire law, can be considered harassment."

Jia Lan glanced between the two of them, his sapphire peach blossom eyes like ice shards glistening, lips sneering, "Wasn’t it Young Master Yun Han back then who said for my Female Master to get lost far away, never appear before you again? So why initiate contact today, isn’t it disgraceful!"

Yun Han looked grim to the extreme, fists tightly clenched, yet unable to refute, even he couldn’t understand what madness he was driven by today.

"What are you all doing?" Shen Qingli stepping in last, seeing the tense standoff, a sense of unease rising in her heart.
