anding where the wind blew.

“Yaoyao, have you given consideration to yesterday? Do you have an answer for me?”

Beitang You suddenly asked after they stood there for a while.

Yaoyao was taken aback and she could not help but turn back to look at him.


His clothes billowed in the wind, but he stood there without moving, like a bold and strong pine and cypress standing tall.
His slightly deep eyes looked at the view afar as he stood silently, not saying a word, as if waiting for her answer.

Yaoyao turned her gaze away as her eyes lowered slightly.
She had not really thought about this.

“Uncle Beitang,” she finally spoke up after thinking about this for a long time.

The moment she called him ‘Uncle Beitang’, Beitang You’s hands, which were hanging by his side, instantly tightened.

Referring to him by this term meant there was respect and politeness in her tone.
He knew this was her answer.

He looked at her from the side.
Before she could reject him, he spoke up first.
“Yaoyao, do you need to act so formal with me?” He paused and said with slight bitterness, “Or could it be that I’m such a terrible person to you?”


Yaoyao twisted her fingers and said with slight difficulty, “It’s not what you think.
I don’t mean to say that you’re a terrible person.
In fact, I think you’ve achieved quite a lot at such a young age, which not many people could compare to.
It’s just that I feel we’re not suited for each other.”

“Is it because of our age?” Beitang You was not unhappy with her words, but instead said drily, “Why aren’t we suited for each other? Are we not suited due to our age difference?”

Yaoyao shook her head.
“It’s not about our age difference.
My father is fifteen years older than my mother.”

Beitang You was quietly relieved when he heard this.
It was good that she did not mind their age difference.

“Is it because…the Yan Kingdom is too far away from Great Shang?” He thought deeply about this before asking softly.

Yaoyao glanced at him and nodded.
“Yes.
I don’t want to marry too far away.
I love my family and I don’t want to leave them.
At the very least, I don’t want to be so far away from them when I get married.”
