1582 It Has Always Been A Huge Gamble

Yaoyao regarded him in bemus.e.m.e.nt.

Why? What made you fall in love with me?

Actually, Yaoyao, I asked your father for your hand in marriage the day I left Great Shangs imperial capital. Beitang You smiled ruefully.

Yaoyao was surprised. Back then, you were already

Her startled reaction made Beitang You smile, and he could not help giving her dainty nose a pinch. Thats right, but unfortunately, your father rejected me. I was ready to give up and return to the Yan Kingdom, but then I met you again outside the city gates. Once I learned that you wanted to go to the West Water Frontier, I was thrilled, thinking that perhaps our journey together might give me an opportunity.

But the prejudice you held against me was too deep, and you wanted nothing to do with me, so I had no choice but to give up and hide my feelings. I never thought that youd disguise yourself as Chen Jin and follow me to the Yan Kingdomyou have no idea how happy I was when I found out you were here.

As Yaoyao listened to him quietly, she groaned to herself, If Id known Id get into this mess, I wouldnt have come to the Yan Kingdom.

Beitang You was not a bad suitorit was the opposite, in fact. As the ruler of a kingdom, he was willing to humble himself in front of her, which was very rare.

However, she had too many concerns.

Maybe its fate that brought us together; otherwise, whyd you appear before me every time I tried to give up? Beitang You sighed with emotion.

Those were just coincidences Yaoyao frowned. She did not believe in the idea of fate.

The first time, maybe. But the second? Beitang You smiled at her.

Hey, youre the ruler of a kingdom. How could you believe in such a thing? Yaoyao said contemptuously.

Before I met you, I didnt believe in fate either, but after meeting you, I came to believe in itand Im willing to do so, too. The corners of Beitang Yous lips turned up. After a pause, his voice deepened. Yaoyao, youre going to come of age soon, and youre going to get married someday too. Can you guarantee that youll meet someone better than mesomeone who will love and accept you more than I will? If not, youre better off choosing me.

Yaoyao was unconvinced. I wouldnt be too sure about that. Maybe Ill meet someone a hundred or thousand times better than you.

Really? Narrowing his eyes, Beitang You suddenly pinned her against the pillar behind her.

O-of course! Yaoyao refused to admit defeat.

Seriouslythis man was so full of himself!

At least I can find someone younger than you.

Men younger than me dont know how to pamper women. In fact, you might have to tolerate their antics, Beitang You said dismissively.

Yaoyao,

Marry meIll be good to you and only you for the rest of my life. Whats more, youll be my one and only woman forever, just like how your father treats your mother, Beitang You said gently.

Beitang You was at his wits end. After everything he said, this girl was still so cool-headed, which surprised and frustrated him at the same time.

Well, a persons heart will change if its bound to, no matter how close your parents are. I know you might not believe me no matter what I promise now, but marriage has always been a huge gamble, Yaoyaoso do you dare to take this gamble with me?

Yaoyao was ridden with conflict. Youre right, but I cant answer you right away. Can you give me some time? I need to think about it.

Marriage was for life. She could not say yes so carelessly.
