He has always wanted a daughter in this life, and now, he truly treats Gong Yao as his own.

"Awoo~ awoo~"

The little wolf cub ran wildly around the yard with a shoe it had secretly hidden, getting all dusty again after its bath.

Gong Yao had evidently long gotten used to it, remaining quite calm! She turned a blind eye, pretending not to see!

Shen Tang took a sip of tea, glanced at the little wolf cub playing crazily not far away, and asked with a smile, "Is it almost two months old?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. It just turned two months old the day before yesterday. In one more month, we’ll have the hundred-day banquet."

Gong Yao looked at the child with softened eyes, "It resembles its father very much."

Unfortunately, Shen Tang wasn’t a beastman from the Wolf Clan, to her, all wolf beasts looked alike, and she really couldn’t tell the difference. The cubs wouldn’t be able to transform until they were at least one year old.

"Its eyes are a blue-gray color; I actually think they resemble yours."

"All cubs’ eyes have a hint of blue when they’re young; it fades as they grow up."

"Have you given it a name?"

"Your Majesty can call it Tuan Tuan; it recognizes this nickname. The formal name was decided by me and the old family head together. We don’t hope for it to have great ambitions, just wish for it to grow up safe and healthy, so we named it Yun Kang." As Gong Yao said this, a trace of wistfulness passed through her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

One has to face many things in life; encounters and farewells are inevitable. It’s enough to be grateful and remember that period of time.

Gong Yao now has many more things to keep her busy, her life has gained more meaning, she no longer entangles herself in past events.

Shen Tang then did not avoid the topic and asked casually, "The Yun Family treats you well, and Old Grandpa Yun values you and Tuan Tuan greatly. But you’re still young; do you have any other plans for the future?"

"Honestly, Your Majesty, I’m not someone with great ambitions either. In the past, I always wanted to venture out when I was in the tribe. But after really coming out, I didn’t know what to do. Later, I met Yun Han and just wanted to be with him. Then so many things happened, after winding around coming to the Imperial City, I just want to live well now, raise this little rascal as he grows up, nothing more."

Shen Tang, a bit regretfully, said, "Haven’t thought about finding another beast husband? Someone to help you with the child?"

Gong Yao is young and beautiful, having now shed her past impoverished aura, appearing even more dignified and radiant; surely, many males pursue her, perhaps even numerous aristocratic sons within the Imperial City.

In the past, such partners were beyond her imagination.

But Gong Yao was not moved, she simply shook her head lightly, "No, I can’t find anyone better than him."

She had no interest in other males anymore.

Whether emotionally or regarding real interests, Yun Han and Tuan Tuan allowed her to leap through social ranks enough to enjoy a lifetime of luxury and wealth, there’s no need to find someone else.

Even her brother Gong Ge, who was originally just an ordinary male living on hunting in the tribe, probably would remain the same throughout his life, with the siblings perhaps never leaving the Northern Territory. But now, because of her, Gong Ge was transferred to the Imperial City to join the Guard Army. This is a life that couldn’t have been imagined before.

Gong Yao is very content with everything now.

She now just wants to take good care of the child, nurture this mischievous little king into an excellent Young Master Yun, living up to its father’s and Yun Family’s reputation.

Shen Tang couldn’t help but sigh, "He is really lucky to have met you."

Gong Yao smiled, "I am lucky to have met him."

"..."

If it weren’t for that great war, they might have truly been able to happily accompany each other for a lifetime.

The little wolf cub, after playing till exhaustion, lay down by its mother’s feet to sleep. It stretched lazily, revealing its little pink paw pads, extremely cute.

As if it heard its mother mentioning its name, it suddenly lifted its little head, glancing confusedly, and just as it was about to lie back down to continue sleeping, it heard movement at the door and turned its head towards the sound, calling out "Awoo awoo" twice.

Lu Xiao came over, seeing the females chatting away happily, with a little cub sleeping beside them, the scene was so warm that it was hard to disturb.

He stood at the door, dazed for a moment.

The little wolf cub had already toddled over, circling his leg and pawing at his pant leg, "Awoo awoo."

Lu Xiao chuckled softly, retrieved jerky from space and handed it to the cub, which happily bit onto the jerky and ran off.

Shen Tang quickly walked over, plunged into his embrace, looked up and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Lu Xiao petted her hair, "The Yiyuan Empire sent a message saying there’s something important that needs to be told in person, it’s best to have you go over."

Could Shen Li be in trouble?

Shen Tang’s face changed, without time for more thought, "Then let’s hurry over to see."
