Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



It was a spring evening and the temperature was quite low. There was a cold gush of wind as they stepped into the imperial garden and Yaoyao could not help shrinking her shoulders.

Beitang You noticed she was feeling cold and he quickly removed his outer robe and put it on her.

"I don't need it." Yaoyao frowned as she wanted to reject it.

"Be good and leave it on." Beitang You emphasized his tone and pulled on the belt to tighten the robe around her.

It was after tightening it that he noticed her waist was so slender it seemed too fragile to hold tight. He could not help taking a few more glances at her.

Yaoyao pulled on the outer robe a little awkwardly.

Even though Beitang You was considered skinny, he was quite tall. When he put his outer robe on her, it dragged onto the ground and it made her look like a child who tried to put on an adult's clothes sneakily.

Beitang You noticed this as well. He smiled. "Make do with it for now. At the very least, it can withstand the wind and you won't get frozen."

Yaoyao glanced at him when she heard this. She saw that all he had left on was a thin tunic. She pouted and said, "What are you going to do now that you've given me your outer robe?"

"I'm a man and I'm pretty healthy. I can still withstand a little cold," Beitang You said nonchalantly.

Yaoyao pouted. "It's up to you. Just don't blame it on me when you catch a cold."

Beitang You laughed gently. "Don't worry. I won't blame you." With that, he held her hand and they walked into a pavilion.

The pavilion here was on higher ground. Looking out from where they were standing inside, they could see most of the imperial garden.

Despite the cold weather, many flowers were already budding.

Even though Yaoyao had put on an extra layer of outer robe, Beitang You got her to stand away from the gushing wind while he blocked her from it by standing where the wind blew.

"Yaoyao, have you given consideration to yesterday? Do you have an answer for me?"

Beitang You suddenly asked after they stood there for a while.

Yaoyao was taken aback and she could not help but turn back to look at him.

His clothes billowed in the wind, but he stood there without moving, like a bold and strong pine and cypress standing tall. His slightly deep eyes looked at the view afar as he stood silently, not saying a word, as if waiting for her answer.

Yaoyao turned her gaze away as her eyes lowered slightly. She had not really thought about this.

However, since he had kissed her in the horse-drawn carriage yesterday, she knew that he liked her, which was why she had to give him an answer.

"Uncle Beitang," she finally spoke up after thinking about this for a long time.

The moment she called him 'Uncle Beitang', Beitang You's hands, which were hanging by his side, instantly tightened.

Referring to him by this term meant there was respect and politeness in her tone. He knew this was her answer.

He looked at her from the side. Before she could reject him, he spoke up first. "Yaoyao, do you need to act so formal with me?" He paused and said with slight bitterness, "Or could it be that I'm such a terrible person to you?"

Yaoyao twisted her fingers and said with slight difficulty, "It's not what you think. I don't mean to say that you're a terrible person. In fact, I think you've achieved quite a lot at such a young age, which not many people could compare to. It's just that I feel we're not suited for each other."

"Is it because of our age?" Beitang You was not unhappy with her words, but instead said drily, "Why aren't we suited for each other? Are we not suited due to our age difference?"

Yaoyao shook her head. "It's not about our age difference. My father is fifteen years older than my mother."

Beitang You was quietly relieved when he heard this. It was good that she did not mind their age difference.

"Is it because…the Yan Kingdom is too far away from Great Shang?" He thought deeply about this before asking softly.

Yaoyao glanced at him and nodded. "Yes. I don't want to marry too far away. I love my family and I don't want to leave them. At the very least, I don't want to be so far away from them when I get married."
