章節 1569: What A Disrespectable Old Lout

Taking a deep breath, he took her by the shoulders and said earnestly, "Yaoyao, listen to me. I've never thought of being a senior figure to you—that's just your own wishful thinking. What I've always wanted is to be your husband." If not, why would he even bother spending all his patience taking care of a young girl? 

Yaoyao was too stunned to speak.

"Yaoyao, stay with me. Marry me and be my empress." Beitang You finally mustered all his courage to reveal his thoughts at that moment.

Yaoyao was overcome with a mix of surprise and shock.

He wanted her to be his empress?

She suddenly furrowed her brow and said in distress, "But the Yan Kingdom's so far away from Great Shang…"

Her words immediately sparked hope in Beitang You.

Surprisingly, her first reaction was to worry about the distance between the two kingdoms instead of rejecting him directly.

It seemed that she was not completely without feelings for him, then.
