1569 What A Disrespectable Old Lout

Taking a deep breath, he took her by the shoulders and said earnestly, “Yaoyao, listen to me. I’ve never thought of being a senior figure to you—that’s just your own wishful thinking. What I’ve always wanted is to be your husband.” If not, why would he even bother spending all his patience taking care of a young girl?

Yaoyao was too stunned to speak.

“Yaoyao, stay with me. Marry me and be my empress.” Beitang You finally mustered all his courage to reveal his thoughts at that moment.

Yaoyao was overcome with a mix of surprise and shock.

He wanted her to be his empress?

!!

She suddenly furrowed her brow and said in distress, “But the Yan Kingdom’s so far away from Great Shang…”

Her words immediately sparked hope in Beitang You.

Surprisingly, her first reaction was to worry about the distance between the two kingdoms instead of rejecting him directly.

It seemed that she was not completely without feelings for him, then.

Realizing that, he immediately reached out and took her small hands in his. “Yaoyao, our kingdoms may be far apart, but I promise that if you marry me, I’ll take time to visit Great Shang with you whenever you want to, no matter how busy I am. How does that sound?”

Yaoyao hastily broke free of his grip, her face contorted in bewilderment. “I don’t know.”

Seeing this, Beitang You did not dare to force her any further and said gently, “It’s all right; we still have time. You can think about it first before giving me your answer.”

“Alright,” Yaoyao replied unenthusiastically.

Beitang You sighed inwardly.

It seemed that his sudden confession had put her in a dilemma.

However, he did not regret his impulsive behavior.

This girl was somehow slower than most when it came to romance, so he needed to give her a push.

Otherwise, she would probably start coming up with all sorts of nonsense in her pretty little head.

If she could imagine that he had feelings for Chen Jin today, she could say the same for some other man tomorrow, for all he knew.

However, both of them descended into silence and did not say another word to each other after the incident.

Beitang You was the first to get down from the carriage after arriving at Serenity Palace. When Yaoyao came out and saw him standing on the right of the carriage, she pursed her lips and jumped down from the left.

Beitang You smiled ruefully. Was she avoiding him as if he was some kind of monster now?

Before she could dash off into the side hall, Beitang You called after her, “Yaoyao, since it’s getting late, let’s have dinner together.” With that, he strode into the inner hall without waiting for her to give her agreement.

Yaoyao bit her lip as she stared after the man’s tall figure walking ahead of her.

He was such a dictator, making decisions on his own without asking for her approval.

He had done the same thing in the carriage by kissing her without informing her first.

What a disrespectable old lout!

Pouting, she followed him into the inner hall.

Beitang You stood in the covered corridor for a while. He smiled when he saw her traipse in with her head drooped, then turned and went inside as well.

Soon, Chen Jin and the servants served them dinner.

After sending them away, Beitang You picked up a bowl and filled it with hot soup for Yaoyao.

Yaoyao took it from him and sipped the soup with the help of a spoon.

She kept her head lowered and drank her soup without sparing him so much as a glance. Seeing this, he rapped his knuckles on the table.

Yaoyao looked up at him. “What?”

At the sight of her petulant expression, Beitang You smiled and shook his head, swallowing the words he had meant to say. “Nothing. Carry on with your meal.”

Yaoyao shot him a look and continued to eat, ignoring him.
