Yaoyao took the letter from him, not believing him entirely.
It was only after seeing the familiar writing on the letter that she knew Beitang You was not lying to her.
"My royal brother is coming to bring ho from the Yan Kingdom?" She was a little surprised.
Beitang You nodded. "That's what it says in the letter. Judging by the number of days that had passed, your royal brother should now be leaving the West Water Frontier."
Yaoyao's head fell when she heard this.
"This is the end of . Father has been alerted about this, and even Royal Brother is here to capture ."
Beitang You found it really funny to see her looking so dejected.
Did this girl not consider the consequences when she decided to sneak into the Yan Kingdom?
It was a little too late to be scared now.
"He's not here to capture you, he is here to pick you up." Beitang You corrected her.
"What difference is there? I'm going to be punished when I get ho," Yaoyao continued saying dejectedly.
"Your father isn't that scary. He dotes on you so much. Chu Qi and Ji'er must have been panicking when you snuck into the Yan Kingdom without their knowledge. They must be so worried that they can't even bear to scold you once you're ho safe and sound." Beitang You consoled her gently.
"I hope so," Yaoyao said without holding much hope.
"But you're only allowed to do this once. This shouldn't happen again." Beitang You warned her sternly.
Yaoyao darted him a look.
The man was already lecturing her like he was an older mber of her family.
"It's dangerous for a lady to be out all alone. Even if you want to travel, you need to obtain the agreent of your elders and being more people with you," Beitang You continued.
"I'll rember that," Yaoyao quickly agreed to stop him from continuing the lecture. She was reminded of sothing and said hurriedly, "By the way, I've promised Aunt Yuan Xin and Xinxin to hang out with them outside the Palace. Can you give your token?"
Beitang You looked at her pretty little face. He privately did not want her to go outside of the Palace. She was such a beautiful thing and he would love to hide her at his ho and admire her on his own.
Of course, these were just his personal thoughts. He would not do that in reality. Otherwise, she would push herself further away from him.
"Of course, but you have to put on a veil." He compromised.
Yaoyao knew how she looked. If she walked on the streets like this, she would attract a crowd or draw trouble, which was why she agreed readily.
"Alright."
Beitang You's fingers twitched when he saw how sweet and obedient she was. He could not help reaching out to rub her head. "Good girl."
Yaoyao found this slightly annoying, but she needed his token, which was why she tolerated it.
Beitang You saw it in her eyes, and a smile twinkled in his. He took the opportunity to hold her hand.
Yaoyao wanted to pull away, but then she heard Beitang You say, "We've already done even more intimate actions. Holding hands is nothing serious, right?"
She wondered what intimate actions was he referring to.
This made her forget to pull her hand out of his.
Beitang You laughed gently. He had gotten his wish to hold her hand and they returned to Serenity Palace.
Beitang You ordered soone to bring a veil and he personally put it over Yaoyao's face. He was finally satisfied when he was sure no one could sneak a look at her beauty.
"It's fine to have fun out there, but you have to be careful and return to the Palace before evening," he reminded her.
Yaoyao retorted when she heard this, "Why are you nagging so much? It's annoying."
Beitang You's eyes narrowed slightly. "You find annoying just because of this? You're my guest right now. If anything happened to you, how am I able to explain it to your family?"
"I'm not a child anymore. I'll be careful," Yaoyao mumbled.
"Yes, you're a grown-up now." Beitang You nodded in agreent as he held her shoulders.
When Yaoyao saw him do this, it brought her thoughts to sothing and she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
