PFFT—
A mouthful of tea sprayed out of Su Bei's mouth as he looked at the woman in front of him with a shocked expression.
Ao Yue's eyes were sincere and devoid of any jest, her expression solemn.
"That... Heh heh, are you joking, Leader Ao?"
Su Bei straightened out his clothes, smiling ruefully as he watched Ao Yue.
Wasn't this forcing someone's hand?
"As long as you marry me, you will become the Dragon Palace's son-in-law. Naturally, you will be eligible to enter the Dragon Pond and also receive the fortune it brings."
"..."
Ao Yue was unmoved by Su Bei's reaction, her dark golden pupils fixed on him.
Su Bei gently stood up and softly patted her little head. This time, she didn't evade and let Su Bei stroke her.
"Do you know what 'marry' means?"
Ao Yue tilted her head, the trail of tears at the corner of her eyes already wiped clean by Su Bei, and nodded. "Of course. It means two people being together, inseparably so."
"And then they must have babies."
