Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 1609

1609 It Hurts
She should not have been such a coward over this issue and be afraid of giving Beitang You an answer.

Her mother had taught her since young that the current world might be tough on women, but as a woman, it was even more important for her to be independent and strong, and not rely on others too much.

Even though she was born of nobility and lived a comfortable life served by others, Yaoyao felt she was not an overprotected person who would not be able to face the challenges ahead.

No one could tell what the future would be, but she had a chance of grasping onto present happiness.

She believed she would be able to take on any challenges that came ahead.

!!
If that was the case, what was there for her to be afraid of?

She pressed her lips and came to a decision. She looked at the man opposite her and reached out her hand to clench his fingers. “Big Brother Beitang, came to Great Shang and marry me once I’ve come of age.”

Beitang You was astonished. He thought he must be imagining things and could not react for quite a while.

Could he be hallucinating because he wanted to marry Yaoyao so much?

“What did you just say, Yaoyao?” Beitang You looked at the girl opposite him and asked in a soft voice. He was afraid his dream would be shattered by his voice if he spoke too loudly.

“I said, I want to marry you,” Yaoyao repeated slowly word by word.

Beitang You looked at the smile on the girl’s lips and a wild delight appeared in his eyes when he realized what he had heard, but he became a little flustered as well.

Was it true that Yaoyao just said she would marry him?

He still found it hard to believe it as it was too unreal.

A smile appeared on Yaoyao’s lips when she saw his reaction. She raised an eyebrow and laughed lightly. “You aren’t regretting it right now and thinking about not marrying me, are you?”

Beitang You looked at her and glanced at her clenching his fingers. He suddenly got up and sat next to her. He grabbed her hands and placed them on his thigh. “Hurry up and pinch me, Yaoyao. I want to know that this is not a dream.”

The corner of Yaoyao’s lips twitched when she heard that. There was no sign of his dignified qualities as a ruler of a country right now.

She pressed her lips. “Do you really want me to pinch you?” The tips of her fingers brushed lightly against his thigh as she said this and a cunning look appeared in her eye.

An electrifying sensation ran through his body and Beitang You stiffened. There were waves of emotions in his dark eyes and it took him quite a while before he grunted a reply with difficulty.

“You asked for it.” Yaoyao’s fingers pinched hard the moment she said this.

Beitang You groaned with pain and looked at her in shock. “It hurts, Yaoyao.”

“That’s right, it does. This proves that you aren’t dreaming.” Yaoyao released him and winked cheekily at him.

“Don’t be too happy yet. I may have agreed to marry you, but you might not get approval that easily from my father.” Yaoyao poured cold water on him.

Beitang You calmed down. He knew it would not be an easy task to get her father’s approval.
When he had asked for Yaoyao’s hand in marriage, he was rejected by her father without hesitation. It was not difficult to imagine how unwilling and unhappy he was about the idea of Yaoyao marrying so far away to the Yan Kingdom.

“It’s alright. As long as you’re willing to marry me, I can overcome any challenges that come for me. I’ll find a way to get your father to agree to our marriage.”

“My father won’t be so easy to convince.” Yaoyao suddenly felt a little worried at this point. “He would probably break my legs this time for sneaking out and privately agreeing to marry you.”

Beitang You comforted her when he saw her worried little face. “Your father won’t bear to beat you. The one would he beat is me. I should be the one who is worried.”
