Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 1630

1630 Attracted By His Good Looks
“Fourteen?” Yaoyao was not the only one caught off guard—even Hexin and Yuan You were surprised.

“He doesn’t look that age. He’s so skinny and small. Almost the same as Hean,” commented Yuan You. “If you hadn’t told us, I would have thought he was eleven or twelve.”

“He really is fourteen. He looks so scrawny probably because he’s often starving and doesn’t always get to eat, which caused his malnutrition.” Bao Yu explained.

“If that’s the case, his situation doesn’t seem so strange.” Hexin nodded.

Yaoyao picked up an apple from the table. She took a bite and asked, “What are you planning to do with him next? We can’t just let him follow you around.”

There was a flash in Bao Yu’s eyes as she suddenly leaned in close to Yaoyao’s ear and whispered, “What do you think if I let him become my family’s adopted son-in-law, Princess Yaoyao?”

“Cough, cough, cough!” Yaoyao choked on the apple and began coughing violently.

Bao Yu jumped in fright and quickly patted her on the back.

Hexin sat next to Yaoyao and patted her back as well.

After Yaoyao had calmed down, Hexin shot a look at Bao Yu, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She said, “What did you say to scare her like this?”

Bao Yu fidgeted a little uncomfortably as she fiddled with her fingers. “Nothing.”

Yaoyao tried to hold in her laughter after calming down. “Are you being serious?”

“Why would I joke about something like this?” Bao Yu asked.

Yaoyao, “…”

Fine. It seemed Yaoyao was the one who did not keep up with the times.

“Tell us honestly. Did you only save him because you were attracted to his good looks?”

Bao Yu blushed. “Princess Yaoyao, don’t describe the situation in such a way… This had never occurred to me. It was only after spending some time with him that I found him quite a nice person. After all, I need an adopted son-in-law for my family and he needs a home, which is why this thought crossed my mind.”

“You’re right. He needs a home and you need an adopted son-in-law. You have really planned things through.” Yaoyao was so impressed with her.

Bao Yu was three years younger than she was, yet she already had planned so far ahead, which was something Yaoyao had never expected.

Hexin and Yuan You’s eyes widened when they heard this conversation. They looked at Bao Yu in disbelief.

“Why would you need an adopted son-in-law?” It took a while before Yuan You finally asked out of curiosity.

Hexin said, “You really know how to plan ahead.”

Bao Yu felt a little embarrassed by their words, but she had already voiced out her plans, so she decided to ask their opinions without hiding anything.

“What do you think of the little monk? Do you think he’d be willing to become my family’s adopted son-in-law?”

“I think he is pretty good-looking. He had a nice face, but…he’s just a little too scrawny.” Yuan You was the first to speak up.

Hexin said, “Good looks are secondary. What is his character like?”

Yaoyao nodded. “That’s right. His character is the most important factor.”

“He doesn’t talk much, but from what I can see of him, he can’t even bear to step on an ant. Someone like that should be a kind-hearted person, right?” Bao Yu said uncertainly.
“He can’t even bear to step on an ant?” Yaoyao found this slightly exaggerated. “He isn’t just putting on a show for you, is he?”

“I don’t think so,” Bao Yu replied quickly. “There is no need for him to do something like that.”

“It’s unbelievable that there is someone out there with such a kind heart.” Yuan You was amazed.

“It could be due to the environment he grew up in. Didn’t Bao Yu say he live in the temple? Someone like that should be quite kind.” Hexin analyzed.

Everyone turned silent after hearing her words.

Yuan You twisted her handkerchief and could not help breaking the silence. “That’s right, he’s a monk. Are you sure he would want to return to a secular life, Bao Yu?”
