1580 But I Like You A Lot

The Yan Kingdom was too far from Great Shang.

Yaoyao twisted the handkerchief in her hand while thinking about this silently.

Beitang You smiled a little helplessly after hearing her words. It was just as he had thought.

Yaoyao noticed this and asked curiously, “What are you smiling about?”

Beitang You glanced at her and smirked as he suddenly took a step closer to her.

“What are you doing?” Yaoyao took a step back. Unfortunately, there was a pillar behind her and there was nowhere else for her to retreat to. All she could do was glare warningly at him.

Beitang You’s hand leaned against the pillar behind her as he lowered his head to look at her. “Yaoyao, if it weren’t for the Yan Kingdom’s distance being too far from Great Shang, you would be willing to marry me, am I right?”

Yaoyao’s head cocked slightly to the side as she watched the man’s handsome face getting closer to her. She wanted to avoid the warm breath from his mouth caressing her face.

Despite her attempt, she still felt awkward. She felt heat on her cheeks as they burned slightly.

“Answer me.” Beitang You stared intently at her with his dark eyes. It felt like he would not give up without an answer from her.

“…You can say that.” Yaoyao nodded honestly as she looked into his eyes.

Beitang You had treated her very well. He had taken good care of her throughout her journey and stay. It was undeniable that she sometimes enjoyed being taken care of by him.

Moreover, he was good-looking and had a great body. He fitted the criteria of what she imagined her future husband would be like.

However, this thought had never crossed her mind before yesterday. It was only because of what happened yesterday that she could not help thinking deeper about this.

His traits suited her very well. Unfortunately, the Yan Kingdom was much too far and she did not want to marry somewhere of a vast distance.

She could not leave Great Shang and her siblings because of him.

A look of wild delight appeared in Beitang You’s eyes when he heard her confession. He bent lower to look her straight in the eyes happily. “Yaoyao, you like me?”

Yaoyao’s face turned red and her heart began to beat fast. “I…”

“Don’t deny it.” Beitang You’s deep voice interrupted her. “I know you’re worried about Yan Kingdom being too far away from Great Shang, but Yaoyao, this shouldn’t be a problem that comes between us. If this is the only reason troubling you and convincing you not to accept me, it will become the greatest regret of my life. It might even be a regret to you.”

Yaoyao frowned. “Big Brother Beitang, you’re not me. You will never understand how much courage and determination a girl needs to decide to marry so far away. Moreover…”

“Moreover what?” Beitang You’s expression relaxed slightly when he heard her change the way she called out to him.

Yaoyao pushed him away and sighed silently. She lifted her eyes once more to look at him. “Moreover, I don’t like you as much as you think. At the very least, I don’t like you enough to give up my family and marry so far to the Yan Kingdom.”

Even though her answer was not really something he wanted to hear, at least there was a change as she admitted that she liked him. That was already quite an achievement.

His dark eyes stared at her as he said seriously and solemnly, “But I like you a lot.”

Yaoyao was taken aback.

She had found him to be quite glib when they met the first time. It was now that she was finally a recipient of his glib tongue.

“You probably tell every girl that, don’t you?” She darted him a suspicious look.

Beitang You frowned. “Why would you think that of me?”

“That’s the impression you’ve given me,” Yaoyao replied brusquely.

Beitang You was stunned and his eyes narrowed slightly. “What did I do to make you misunderstand me this way?”

Yaoyao blinked. “Don’t you think you’re quite glib with your tongue?”
