Li Shaozhong felt a little embarrassed when he was told that. He had indeed vowed to be Ye Shuning's brother. Now he was shooting himself in the foot.
He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Xiao Ning and I are not really siblings. At most, we are just siblings with different surnames. It's okay for us to become husband and wife in the end, right?
And I will treat Xiao Ning better. I have the ability to support the family, even if Xiao Ning doesn't want to work. I'm not a male chauvinist, I will help Xiao Ning with the housework. I will learn to cook in the future, and when we have children, I will help take care of them. I will do any housework that Xiao Ning doesn't want to do.
Ye Xingguo's eyes flickered as he listened to Li Shaozhong's words. He knew that most men in this era were chauvinistic. They didn't care about anything else except work, leaving all the housework to the women.
If Li Shaozhong can really do what he says, that would be great. It would be quite good for my daughter to find such a husband.
Ye Xingguo couldn't help but ask: "Can you really guarantee that you can do what you say?"
Li Shaozhong stood up and made a standing attention gesture, and promised: "Uncle Ye, now that I have said it, I promise to do it. Besides, I am willing to do anything for the one I love."
Ye Xingguo leaned in the rocking chair for a long time without saying anything, as if he was considering whether to agree to let Li Shaozhong be his son-in-law.
Li Shaozhong stood by and didn't dare to move. He looked at Uncle Ye without saying anything for a long time and felt extremely nervous. He felt that this was the most stressful moment in his life.
After a while, Ye Xingguo slowly said, "Shaozhong, you don't understand Xiaoning yet. If you find out in the future that she is better than you, can you accept it?"
Li Shaozhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "My wife is better than me, I will only be happier."
Ye Xingguo continued, "Shaozhong, your father and your brother are both very responsible people. I hope you can be like them and stick with them no matter what happens in the future."
Li Shaozhong said solemnly: "Uncle Ye, since I have married Xiao Ning, it will be for life. No matter what happens, I will cherish her. You can rest assured to leave her to me."
Ye Xingguo didn't say anything against it, but said: "Although you said so, in the end it depends on whether Xiao Ning is willing to marry you. I respect my daughter's decision. As long as she agrees, I won't object."
Li Shaozhong was very happy to hear Uncle Ye's statement. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ye. I will definitely get Xiao Ning's consent and will never force her."
Having received the approval of his future father-in-law, Li Shaozhong felt that he was halfway to success in pursuing his wife.
After returning from school at noon, Ye Shuning found that Li Shaozhong had become a little different. He grinned from time to time as if he had won the lottery, and he seemed very happy.
Ye Shuning looked at him curiously and asked, "Brother Li, what good thing happened that makes you so happy?"
Li Shaozhong looked at Ye Shuning with tenderness in his eyes, "I just want to see you happy."
Ye Shuning's cheeks flushed at Li Shaozhong's sudden words. She thought to herself that Li Shaozhong was acting very strangely today. How could he have started flirting? This was completely different from what was written in the book.
Seeing that Li Shaozhong was still looking at her with a silly smile, Ye Shuning rolled her eyes at him and said, "Burn your fire well."
Li Shaozhong thought that Ye Shuning's action was a way of acting coquettishly with him, so he quickly lowered his head and started to light the fire with a smile.
Afterwards, Ye Shuning discovered that Li Shaozhong was extremely attentive to her, which made Ye Shuning a little confused.
She took the time to go to her father and secretly asked, "Dad, what's wrong with this Third Brother Li today? Why does he look so stupid?"
Ye Xingguo: “-”
Ye Xingguo almost spit out the tea in his mouth when his daughter described him as silly. Alas, it seems his daughter hasn't figured it out yet.
But he would not remind his daughter, so he let Li Shaozhong work hard on his own. He also wanted to have some fun. He wanted to see when Li Shaozhong could win his daughter's heart.
The next day, Ye Shuning saw Li Shaozhong wearing a new shirt and navy blue trousers. The white shirt looked ironed and almost wrinkle-free. Combined with Li Shaozhong's tall figure, this outfit made him look particularly elegant, gentle and refined, with a scholarly air.
Li Shaozhong was already very handsome and had a good figure, and this makeover greatly improved his overall image.
Ye Shuning had seen many handsome men in her previous life. Not to mention those TV stars, there were also several handsome men among her colleagues in the Institute of Chemistry. However, they were still a little inferior to Li Shaozhong.
Li Shaozhong has a scholarly air, gentle and refined, yet also exudes a certain masculine righteousness. This may be related to the Li family being a military family.
Even though Li Shaozhong didn't join the army, he would join the army for training every year when he was in school, which gave him a sense of masculinity and righteousness. He also grew up in a very good environment and had a sense of nobility.
These qualities are well integrated in Li Shaozhong, making him very attractive. It is no wonder that many girls like him and are obsessed with him.
Ye Shuning couldn't help but be attracted to Li Shaozhong, and felt that Li Shaozhong was particularly different today.
People like Li Shaozhong should generally be aloof, but at this moment he was particularly gentle towards her, which was really a bit overwhelming.
Li Shaozhong had long noticed that Ye Shuning looked at him from time to time. It seemed that his painstaking cleaning was effective.
Ye Xingguo, watching from the side, felt a little amused as Li Shaozhong displayed his charms to his daughter like a peacock spreading its feathers. This guy really put a lot of thought into it. It seemed his daughter was also somewhat attracted to him.
But to be fair, Li Shaozhong is impeccable in terms of appearance, figure, family background, ability, etc., and he is indeed a good candidate for son-in-law.
Ye Xingguo knew his daughter wouldn't be trapped in this mountain valley; she would soar to the sky sooner or later. The things his daughter possessed would surely attract countless covetous people. Therefore, if his daughter had the protection of the Li family, she would be safer.
Since he was in the army and couldn't be with his daughter all the time, it was good to have Li Shaozhong by his side to protect her. Besides, Li Shaozhong was also a senior intellectual, so he and his daughter wouldn't have no common language in the future.
Ye Xingguo also weighed the pros and cons of all aspects before agreeing to Li Shaozhong pursuing his daughter.
After breakfast, Li Shaozhong took over the task of washing dishes and asked Ye Shuning to prepare to go to school.
Ye Shuning thought of the books in Li Shaozhong's room and said, "Brother Li, I want to borrow a chemistry book from you. Can you help me find one?"
Li Shaozhong would of course agree, "No problem, I'll find it for you this morning, and you can see it when you get home at noon."
