1527 Her Body Immediately Tensed Up
“Big Bro Lil Qi, what are you guys doing here?” Yaoyao suddenly pointed behind Beitang You and called out happily.
Beitang You did not take the bait. “Stop wasting time. Your Big Bro Lil Qi is still in West Water Frontier. However, he did write me a letter asking me to take good care of you. Come with me, Princess!”
When Yaoyao saw that she was unable to trick him, she decided to not beat around the bush. “Uncle Beitang, you’re a busy man and you don’t need to bother yourself with me. I’m just having fun at the Yan Kingdom for a while and I’ll go home on my own later.”
“Uncle Beitang?” The corner of Beitang You’s lips twitched.
Yaoyao blinked innocently. “Don’t you refer to my mother as Big Sis? I should be calling you ‘uncle’ based on that. There’s nothing wrong with it.”
!!Beitang You found it uncomfortable for her to suddenly point out the generation gap.
She had called Chu Qi ‘Big Bro Lil Qi’, but was calling him ‘Uncle’ instead. This…
Chu Qi was a few years older than he was.
“I prefer you to call me big brother,” Beitang You said in exasperation.
“It would be inappropriate of me to do that. If I did, it would be quite ill-mannered of me.” Yaoyao shook her head with a serious look on her little face.
Beitang You choked and decided that discussing this issue with her would not be a smart move for him, and he immediately changed the topic.
“How can I leave you alone when you’ve traveled all the way to the Yan Kingdom? Where do you plan to visit, Yaoyao? I’ll escort you there,” he said seriously while holding onto the horse reins.
Yaoyao quietly pouted as she stared at the man sitting high up on his horse while looking down at her.
It was not easy for her to sneak into Yan Kingdom from under Big Bro Lil Qi and Ji’er’s noses. It would be a complete waste of effort if she was stuck with Beitang You by her side here.
“Thank you, Uncle Beitang. I appreciate your efforts, but let’s part ways here.” Yaoyao did not want to spend any more time discussing this with him and she ran toward the alley after saying this.
Was he kidding? She did not want to visit anywhere with him.
Beitang You’s right eye kept twitching every time she referred to him as ‘uncle’.
When he saw her turn to run, his eyes narrowed and he immediately chased after her on his horse.
Yaoyao grabbed the ‘secret weapon’ in her hand when she heard the horse hooves behind her. She was contemplating whether or not to fling it out at him.
After all, the Yan Kingdom and Great Shang had a good relations.h.i.+p. In addition to that, Beitang You and her mother were close. Even though she had the ‘secret weapon’ at hand, it would not cause lethal harm. It would just knock him unconscious at most.
While she was contemplating this, the reins in Beitang You’s hand wrapped around her waist like a slithery snake.
The next thing she knew, she was pulled up onto the back of the horse.
She decided to let it be—the sky was now dark and city gates were closed. If Beitang You was determined to track her down, there was nowhere for her to hide.
The best option was to go with the flow and wait until the next day to leave the town before making further plans.
When Beitang You saw her sitting in front of him obediently, he was surprised and a smile twinkled in his eye.
After he brought her back to the coaching inn, he ordered his men to bring her luggage back from the inn.
Beitang You brought Yaoyao’s luggage to her room personally when it was delivered.
During that time, the girl was sitting by the windowsill, crunching on some sunflower seeds.
She said brusquely to him when she saw him come in, “Just put it on the table and leave.”
Beitang You knew that she was still mad at him for bringing her back to the coaching inn.
She might not spell it out, but she was holding a grudge.
“It’s not healthy for you to be having snacks so late. You should stop eating and go to bed early.” He could not help advising her.
Yaoyao grunted heavily and chewed on her sunflower seeds even louder.
Beitang You laughed helplessly when he saw this, but did not say anything more as he left her room.
Not long after that, Zhang Yu came into her room with a cup of soothing tea for her.
When he saw the little lady chewing on sunflower seeds by the window, he said gently, “Princess Yaoyao, His Majesty specifically ordered for this tea to be prepared for you. Have a drink before turning in.”
