Beitang You gave a light cough and said with slight helplessness, "My meaning is that if you want to look, you can just marry me. I'll let you look at it all you want after you marry me." He paused before adding, "I do have a pretty nice body."

Yaoyao could not help turning red again after hearing him and snapped, "Aren't you being a little too narcissistic?"

"I'm not being narcissistic. You'll understand after having a good look at me," Beitang You said with a smirk.

Yaoyao covered her ears. "You…You hooligan!" However, the image of his body flashed through her mind uncontrollably and she could not help gulping silently.

Beitang You gave a light laugh.

He did not think she was a frivolous girl. Rather, if his body could attract her, it would be a pleasant surprise for him.

Otherwise, there was no other advantage he had for convincing her to stay.

She was born a noble and her father ruled the richest and strongest country in the world—she had no lack of money and power.

Yaoyao did not lack anything in life and even if he offered her the position of Empress, she would not be moved at all.

However, he had just found out how to break through her defenses. 

He gave a low laugh and continued, "Are you already imagining what my body looks like?"

Yaoyao's knees turned weak when she heard this and she almost fell to the ground.

Beitang You swiftly helped support her before she fell. When he saw how red her face was, he laughed in delight.

"It's not a big deal if you're thinking about me. Carnal desires are human nature. It's a normal thing to feel."

Yaoyao was quite embarrassed to have been seen through by him. She quickly pushed him away and said in a low voice. "Don't be so full of yourself. I wasn't thinking about you."

"Are you sure?" Beitang You asked gently.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure." Yaoyao quickly denied it.

"It's a misunderstanding on my part, then." Beitang You nodded and stopped talking about this. Instead, he changed the topic. "Didn't you say you were hungry? Come on. Let's eat." With that, he turned and walked toward the front.

Yaoyao was relieved. She touched her heated cheeks and felt quite annoyed with herself. It took only a few sentences from him and she almost revealed all her thoughts.

She quickly caught up to him when she saw him leaving.

Perhaps his words had taken effect.

When her eyes fell on his back, she could not help taking a few extra looks.

The clothes on his back were thin. They complemented his tight, moving waistline. His butt…

She quickly averted her gaze and did not dare take another look.

When they returned to Serenity Palace, Yaoyao quickly took off the outer robe and returned it to Beitang You. "Thank you."

Beitang You took it for her and immediately, a light, fragrant scent wafted toward him from the outer robe, filling his nostrils. His eyes narrowed slightly as his fingers gently caressed the robe's material. "I thought we didn't need to act so formally with each other."

After that, he glanced at her and opened up his robe to put on the garment.

That scent got even more noticeable in that instant.

A smile appeared on his lips.

The scent was from Yaoyao. He had carried her before this and knew that it was not the scent of makeup. It was her natural scent.

It was not pungent, but it was hard to ignore.

The scent was quite pleasant. 

Yaoyao's lips twitched when she saw him put on the outer robe without hesitation.

Did he not mind at all?

She had just worn it moments ago.

Besides, they were indoors now. He should just change into a new one.

After Beitang You tied his belt, he turned to look at her. "What's wrong? Do you have something to say?"

Yaoyao immediately lifted her head to look at the ceiling. "Nope. I have nothing to say."

"Let's eat." Beitang You smirked and did not expose her thoughts.

"Alright."

Yaoyao was hungry and quickly sat opposite him. After that, she watched the palace maids serve up dish after dish to the table.

It was at that moment when her gaze fell onto the hands of one of the palace maids.
