Why doesn't she want to marry her master's sister?

He wanted to marry her.

He now really hopes that Brother Hongze can arrange for his sister to marry him.

But he knew it even better.

Hongze probably understands his thoughts; he's making him pay the price for his careless remarks.

This guy is so petty!

During Ning Hongyu's week-long hospital stay, Ning Hongze stayed by his side, preventing him from getting close easily. Even when he wasn't there, he would instruct Sister-in-law Jiang Cha to keep an eye on things, along with his future mother-in-law and father-in-law.

Li Shaoyang couldn't find an opportunity to confess his feelings.

It wasn't until he was about to be discharged from the hospital that Li Shaoyang invited his mother over.

She lured the ginger tea away, which gave him his opportunity.

"Xiaoyu, I have something to tell you."

Li Shaoyang's heart was pounding. How would Xiaoyu respond to him?

To accept or to refuse?

If they accept, all the better; but what if they refuse?

What if Xiaoyu rejects him? Should he give up?

No way!

He persisted with her until she agreed.

"I--"

How can I say this without scaring Xiaoyu?

"My brother said you like me, the kind of liking that means you want to marry me."

What?

Li Shaoyang's eyes widened suddenly. "Then, then, what do you think of me, what do you think of me?"

Has Brother Hong already said it?

He actually spoke up for him?

"To be honest, I was quite startled when I heard that, because I always thought you treated me like a younger sister, and I always thought of you as a older brother."

To hell with his brother and sister.

"But my brother has been guiding me, hoping that I can figure out exactly how I feel about you?"

"I've thought about it for several days, and I've finally figured it out."

Li Shaoyang's heart jumped in an instant.

Ning Hongyu reached out and grasped Li Shaoyang's hand. "I think I like you. Although I'm not sure, I'm willing to give you a chance, and also give myself a chance."
