1610 She Finally Knew How It Felt

Yaoyao’s worry transformed into a feeling of delight. “You’re right. I’m young and ignorant, and I know nothing. If you hadn’t schemed to seduce me, I would not have agreed to marry you privately, which is why this is all your fault. It’s only right for my father to beat you up.”

Beitang You, “…”

When she saw his face darkened, Yaoyao chuckled happily. “It’s not too late for you to go back on your word. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the burden of my father’s fury.”

Beitang You pinched her cheek and said resignedly, “I would have given up long ago if I was afraid, but if I really were to be beaten up by your father, would it break your heart?”

“No, it won’t.” Yaoyao shook her head decisively. “You deserve to be beaten up because you schemed to steal my heart.”

Beitang You had no idea whether to laugh or to cry. “Don’t you dare cry if that really happens.”

“I won’t cry at all,” she said confidently while leaning into his arms.

Beitang You had no idea how to react when he saw her being so sure about it.

That girl was not worried about him at all.

“Oh no, the food has gone cold because I was busy talking to you.” Yaoyao pushed him away as she complained.

“Don’t eat it if it’s cold. I’ll get someone to serve up fresh dishes,” Beitang You said immediately. He did not want her to eat anything that has gone cold.

Yaoyao quickly stopped him when she heard this. “We shouldn’t waste the food. Even though the dishes have gone cold, there is no need to make new dishes. Just heat this food up a little and it would be fine. Making new dishes would waste a lot of time. I can’t wait that long.”

Beitang You had a thorough understanding of her after spending time together so often.

She may be a woman of nobility, but she was not arrogant or demanding. She did not have the habit of spending lavishly or ordering people around and was not a wasteful person in life. Instead, she knew to be moderate with her spending, was polite to others, and did not put on airs. Even though she had a slight temper and would sometimes be incorrigible.

However, it was effortless to get along with this lady and she was easy to take care of.

How could he not love such a girl?

He kissed her lovingly on the forehead. “Yaoyao, it’s my fortune in life to be able to meet you.”

Yaoyao blinked. “That’s why you should cherish me well.”

“I will.” Beitang You gave a solemn promise and later got up to instruct someone to heat up the dishes.

While the servants were heating up the dishes, Beitang You took the opportunity to read Palace Memorials.

Yaoyao sat quietly next to him and did not disturb him.

Beitang You lifted his head and saw her sitting where she was while watching him with her cheek against her hand. The sight moved his heart. “Come over here, Yaoyao.”

Beitang You did not say anything. He looked at her with a smile and when she came near him, he reached out and pulled her to sit on his lap. After that, he continued reading the Palace Memorials.

Yaoyao was not used to this at first, but when she saw how serious he was working, she did not disturb him. Instead, she leaned against his shoulders and quietly watched him going through the Palace Memorials.

It reminded her of when she was younger. Her father had often held her in his arms too while she watched him read Palace Memorials.

She found herself missing her childhood as she reminisced.

Yaoyao liked men who worked seriously. As her mother would say, when a man was working on something seriously, one would find that he oozed a mesmerizing charm. It was a charm that had nothing to do with looks or power, but was very attractive.

She finally knew how it felt when she watched Beitang You today.

By the time the servants returned with the heated dishes, Yaoyao had fallen asleep while leaning against Beitang You’s shoulder.

Beitang You held her with one hand. He wanted to carry her to sleep, but the thought of her not having any dinner prompted him to wake her up.

Yaoyao opened her eyes slightly to glance at him while she was lying against his shoulder. She mumbled, “I didn’t disturb you. You shouldn’t disturb me either…”

She meant that she did not disrupt his work while he was looking through the Palace Memorials, which was why he should not disturb her when she fell asleep.

Beitang You found this funny and brushed her nose with his finger. “You haven’t had dinner yet and the dishes have already been warmed up. Why not have some food?”
