Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart

1608 Why Are You Being So Nervous
“What’s wrong? Is something wrong with her?” Beitang You asked with a frown when he saw something was not right with her expression.

Yaoyao thought about this and asked, “Could the Prime Minister be planning to send Yuan You into the Palace?”

Beitang You was taken aback. “Why would you think that?”

“Nothing. I just have a feeling that would be what the Prime Minister would do,” Yaoyao said with a pout.

Beitang You put down his chopsticks and held her hand on the table as he teased, “It’s true that many people are eyeing your future husband, which is why you should hurry up and agree to marry me.”

“So, you’re saying that this is true?” Yaoyao asked instead of answering him.

“Yes. The Prime Minister is planning to do that.” Beitang You did not hide this from her.

Yaoyao looked at him unhappily. “So, that would mean you didn’t meet Yuan You during the Palace banquet.”

When Beitang You saw that she was not about to give up without an answer, he said, “There was one time when I had something to discuss with the Prime Minister. I could not wait for him to enter the Palace, so I went to the Prime Minister Mansion instead. While we were discussing matters in the study, for some reason, the Prime Minister got Yuan You to serve tea.”

“It could be because she was quite young back then and was nervous facing me. While she was serving tea, she accidentally spilled tea onto the corner of my robes. She must have been really frightened then because she fell to the floor kneeling, but it was actually a small matter and she did not do it on purpose. I remembered thinking how easily scared the Prime Minister’s granddaughter was, which was I had an impression of her.”

Yaoyao thought, “So, that’s the story!”

It looked like that was when Yuan You had developed a crush on Beitang You.

“I spent the entire day with Youyou today. She’s a pretty nice girl. Why not consider her?” She asked jokingly.

“Stop teasing me, Yaoyao. I already think I’m a little too old standing next to you. How can I want a girl even younger than you?” Beitang You rejected this as he shook his head.

However, Yaoyao was not happy with his answer and said a little sourly, “Do you mean to say that if you were a few years younger or Yuan You was a few years older, you would consider her?”

“Of course, not…” Beitang You quickly denied this. “I’ve said before that I don’t like any girl besides you. Otherwise, the imperial harem would not have been empty to this date.”
Yaoyao burst into a smile when she heard this. “I’m just joking with you. Why are you being so nervous?” She was quite satisfied with this answer.

Beitang You looked at her smile and realized what just happened. He gave her fingers a squeeze and asked, “Was that you being jealous, Yaoyao?”

Yaoyao was taken aback as she quickly denied it. “No, I wasn’t.”

Beitang You did not argue with her. He felt that he was right and she was jealous.

“Alright. You weren’t. Yaoyao wasn’t jealous at all.” Beitang You placed a piece of fish onto a plate in front of him and picked out all the bones before moving it into her bowl. “Eat up.”

Yaoyao pouted angrily as she poked the rice in her bowl. “You aren’t sincere about this at all. You claim to agree that I’m not jealous, but you don’t think that at all.”

Beitang You gave a light cough and said seriously, “I was at fault just now. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you.”

Yaoyao’s expression softened when she heard. “You’re right that it’s your fault. You shouldn’t misunderstand others so easily.”

“Yes, that was narrow-minded of me. I shouldn’t have thought that about you,” Beitang You replied good-naturedly.

When Yaoyao saw him acting this way, her anger disappeared.

He was the ruler of a country no matter what and must never have given in to anyone while speaking. However, he was willing to let go of his ego and status in order to appease her anger.

There would never be anyone who would treat her this way.

It was just was Yuan You had said. All treasures are difficult to obtain, much less a man who loves her.

Why would she be stopped by a long distance?
