Yaoyao lifted her head to glance at him listlessly. Her eyes slowly turned red as she pouted and said, “Uncle Beitang, I miss my parents and the others. I want to go home to Great Shang…”

Beitang You looked at her slightly reddened eyes and paused. She was still a young girl, after all. It was the first time she had left home for such a long time. It was only normal that she missed home.

After some thought, he comforted her gently, “We’ll arrive at the city in a few days. Since you’re here in the Yan Kingdom, you should have some fun in the city for a few more days before going home. There are lots of fun places in Yan Kingdom’s capital city. I’ll take you around when we’re there, alright?”

Yaoyao looked at his gentle eyes and was taken aback. She suddenly found herself too shy to reject him. So, she sniffled and said in a moody voice, “Alright.”

Beitang You looked at her sniffling. She clearly wanted to reject him, but held herself back. Adoration flashed in his eyes and his slender fingers moved. He could not help lifting his hand and caressing her face gently. “Good girl.”

Yaoyao was taken aback. Her bright, shiny eyes looked at him, stunned.

Beitang You was surprised as well. When he realized what he was doing, he quickly put his hand down. A slightly embarrassed look appeared on his handsome face and he gently rubbed the back of his hand behind him. His fingers still had the soft, scented sensation of the young lady.

Yaoyao came back to her senses and quickly put down the blinds. Her heart thumped wildly and she forgot about wanting to go home.

She sat in the carriage red-faced for a while and waited until she had calmed down before leaving the carriage.

Beitang You was already waiting by the side of the carriage. When he saw her appear, he reached his hand out naturally.

Yaoyao bit her lip and glanced at him. She hesitated before reaching her hand out to him.

Beitang You smiled. Taking her hand, he helped her down from the carriage.

“Master, there is a restaurant in front. I have already asked around and it has quite a good reputation. It offers many dishes and the cooking is quite delicious.” Chen Jin returned and reported to him.

“Lead the way,” Beitang You ordered.

“Yes, Master,” Chen Jin replied and led them to the front.

Beitang You held Yaoyao’s hand and followed.

Yaoyao looked at her hand that was covered by his, and her brows furrowed.

Why was he not letting her go when she had already gotten off the carriage?

She glanced at him and noticed he was staring straight ahead. He seemed to have forgotten about what he was doing. She paused and sighed as she swung his hand slightly. “Uncle Bei…”

Yaoyao, “…”

The restaurant was just as Chen Jin described. There was a huge variety of dishes and all of them tasted good.

When the waiter served up the dishes, Yaoyao had already forgotten what just happened and she began to focus on eating.

A small smile appeared on Beitang You’s face when he saw the girl eating happily.

Watching her eat was quite a joy. He initially had no appetite but when he saw her eating with such gusto, he suddenly found himself feeling hungry too.

After they were filled up with food and drink, Yaoyao had completely forgotten about insisting on returning to Great Shang. She sat happily in the carriage as she followed Beitang You into the capital city.

Before she got back into the carriage, Yaoyao turned to Beitang You and said, “Uncle…”

“Call me Big Brother.” Beitang You corrected her with a tight frown on his face. He was not happy with her referring to him as ‘uncle’. “You’re making me sound old.”

Yaoyao grinned. “You’re not old, but you’re definitely my senior.”

Beitang You’s eyes narrowed and he said nothing.

Yaoyao had no choice but to relent. “Big Brother Beitang, I’m going to take a nap. Don’t get into the carriage and disturb my sleep.”

Beitang You choked when he heard this. “I won’t disturb your sleep even if I am inside the carriage.”

“That won’t do. I don’t like anyone being near me when I’m sleeping.” Yaoyao insisted.
