1529 I’m Hungry, Uncle
Yaoyao did not say another word as she turned and climbed into the horse-drawn carriage at the side.
Beitang You shook his head as he burst out laughing.
Was he that dislikable?
Yaoyao sat in the carriage, feeling quite bored.
!!Even though the carriage was wide and comfortable, this was not exactly the lone adventure she had planned for.
Beitang You took the trouble to slow down their journey as he knew that Yaoyao wanted to travel. He would stop at every scenic spot and bring Yaoyao around.
Yaoyao had initially found him annoying, but after spending a few days with him, she found him quite considerate and attentive. He would make all the arrangements for their trips and all she needed to do was focus on having fun. This gave her a better impression of him and she no longer felt annoyed with him around.
When they pa.s.sed by a small town today, Yaoyao was sitting in the carriage when she smelled something delicious. It made her feel a little hungry and she leaned against the window as she said to Beitang You, “I’m hungry, Uncle.”
When Zhang Yu, Chen Jin, and the others heard this, they immediately lowered their head and pretended not to hear a thing.
Beitang You’s handsome face turned dark as he glanced at Yaoyao. “What did you just call me?”
“Big Brother.” A look flashed in Yaoyao’s eyes and she quickly changed her tone. She gulped and said, “Do you smell something good?”
“What if I do?” Beitang You was still feeling the sting from her calling him ‘uncle’.
He had thought the girl’s impression of him had changed after spending a few days together. He did not expect her to still call him ‘uncle’ the moment she spoke to him.
This upset him quite a lot.
Was he that old?
“I wouldn’t mind you calling me by my name.” He looked deeply at her.
Yaoyao lowered her head and counted her fingers. “That would be really impolite of me. Mother would lecture me about it once I return.”
Beitang You choked.
If he knew this earlier, he would never have called Lu Liangwei ‘Big Sis’ all those years ago. He should have called her ‘aunt’. This way, he would be considered the same generation as Yaoyao.
However, it was now too late for regrets.
He ignored her and turned to give Chen Jin a few orders before riding away on his horse.
It was not long before Chen Jin returned with some grilled chicken for Yaoyao.
Yaoyao took it from him with a wide smile on her face. “Thank you, Big Brother Chen Jin.”
Chen Jin scratched his head. “Actually, Master was the one who told me to buy this for you. He is the one you should be thanking.”
Yaoyao bit her lip when she heard this and she tore off a piece of drumstick unwillingly. She pa.s.sed it over to Chen Jin. “Thank him for me. This drumstick is for him.”
The corner of Chen Jin’s lips twitched. He wanted to tell her that his master would never eat a drumstick on the streets, but when he saw how sincere the little lady was, he took it from her and decided to push his luck as he presented the drumstick to Beitang You.
“What is this?” Beitang You frowned and asked when he saw the drumstick in front of him.
“Princess Yaoyao instructed me to give this to you, Master. She said it’s to thank you for taking care of her during this journey,” Chen Jin said with slight guilt because he added the last sentence by himself.
Beitang You’s expression softened when he heard this. At least that girl still had some conscience.
He began contemplating something and suddenly let go of the horse reins. He fell from his horse.
“Master!”
“Master!”
Everyone went into a fl.u.s.ter and quickly ran toward him.
Yaoyao, who was inside the carriage, heard the commotion and poked her head out. She saw the guards helping Beitang You to his feet as he began limping toward her direction.
She suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
The next moment, she could hear Zhang Yu reporting from outside the carriage, “PrincessYaoyao, our master hurt his leg from falling off the horse and he can’t ride now. He has to be in the carriage with you temporarily. Please forgive us for this, Princess!”
Yaoyao suddenly felt the grilled chicken in her hand was not delicious anymore.
