Prospective Son-in-law

"Happy birthday, Aunt Ye." Shen Qi took out a beautifully wrapped little gift box containing a platinum diamond necklace that he had just bought.

Aunt Ye accepted the gift and said happily, "Thank you for the gift."

"Where Ou Ye?" Shen Qi asked.

Aunt Ye looked up at the second floor. "She's in her room."

Shen Qi went up to the second floor and saw that the door was closed but unlocked.

Pushing open the door, I peeked in and saw Ou Ye staring blankly at the mirror in front of her dressing table.

Shen Qi entered Ou Ye's boudoir and closed the door.

"I'm here." Shen Qi walked to Ou Ye's side.

"What are you here for?" Ou Ye asked without looking at him.

"I've come to marry you." Shen Qi stood behind Ou Ye, looking at Ou Ye and himself in the mirror. "We're a good match."

"Marry me? You just said it casually, and I have to marry you?" Ou Ye picked up her lipstick and lightly applied it to her lips.

Thump!

Shen Qi suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out a small box with a diamond ring set in it, and solemnly stared into Ou Ye's eyes in the mirror. "Marry me."

Squeak~

Ou Ye's hand trembled as she applied lipstick, resulting in an irregular line on her chin.

Ou Ye turned around to face Shen Qi, not knowing what to say, and just kept trembling.

Shen Qi maintained his sculpted, standard proposal pose, holding the diamond ring box in one hand and gently wiping the lipstick stain from Ou Ye's chin with the other. "The days you were away from home were unbearable for me, so I want to marry you. Marry me, Ou Ye."

Ou Ye felt like crying and laughing at the same time, "I only ran away from home a few hours ago..."

Shen Qi sincerely declared his marriage proposal, "Every minute you're not here is torture for me. Life without you is like the square root of negative one; I'm alive, but extremely empty."

"You've got a whole repertoire of sweet talk, do you think I'm so easy to fool?" Ou Ye was quite angry a few hours ago, but now she's inexplicably not angry anymore.

A girl who's angry with you loves you; she's angry because she's waiting for you to coax her.

"I'll say it three times, this is the third time: marry me, Ou Ye. I don't want to be the square root of negative one." Shen Qi had drunk a dozen beers before coming. When you're half-awake and half-drunk, you know exactly what you want.

Ou Ye's eyes were red; this ceremony was very important to her.

There's no need to distinguish between genuine feelings and sweet words at this moment; at least the air around us smells sweeter.

Shen Qi's knees were a little numb from kneeling. "The fourth time, marry me, Ou Ye."

With tears in her eyes, Ou Ye extended her slender finger. "I'm getting married."

Shen Qi slowly, carefully, and reverently put the ring on Ou Ye, then stood up and embraced her.

Squeak~

The door to Ou Ye's boudoir was pushed open.

A crowd gathered at the entrance: Old Ou, Aunt Ye, Yu Lei, Ou Ye's maternal grandfather, maternal grandfather, uncles, aunts, cousins, and the housekeeper they hired also came over.

Ou Ye was both surprised and embarrassed. She pinched Shen Qi's waist hard and whispered coquettishly, "Aren't you going to lock the door?"

"The only downside to your luxurious house is the terrible soundproofing." Shen Qi turned around, put his arm around Ou Ye, and waved to everyone with a smile.

"He proposed! He proposed!"

"Together! Together!"

"You must be happy, Sister Ou Ye!"

My cousins, who are all young, applauded enthusiastically, wishing Sister Ou Ye or Sister Ou Ye eternal happiness.

Aunt Ye's eyes were a little moist, and Old Ou remained silent, lost in thought.

Next came the grand celebration: Shen Qi's marriage proposal was successful, and he was now Ou Ye's fiancé.

Shen Qi, the Prospective Son-in-law, received a warm welcome from Ou Ye's relatives.

Ou Ye's Eldest Uncle had a moderate alcohol tolerance, only a little over a jin (250ml), and Eldest Uncle knocked Yu Lei out.

"I'm so happy, so happy, son-in-law, why aren't you drinking...?" Before the Eldest Uncle finished speaking, he discovered that his junior colleague, Associate Professor Shen Qi from Shuimu University, was quite capable.

Ou Ye's Second Uncle worked in the Logistics Force and was a formidable figure at drinking parties.

Yu Lei vomiting, he continued drinking.

In a desperate act, Yu Lei Second Uncle, but the uncle was also exhausted and had to be carried to a guest room to rest. Both were injured in the process.

Finally, it was Shen Qi's turn to take the field, and his opponent was Ou Ye's uncle.

Ou Ye's uncle works in the government. This uncle is a legendary drinker, and it is said that he has no limit to his alcohol tolerance.

Rumor has it that the combined drinking capacity of Ou Ye's Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle is exactly equal to that of half of her youngest maternal uncle.

Shen Qi used all his strength; the buff from Prospective Son-in-law allowed him to perform beyond his usual level, and he took down his shameless uncle.

Before being carried away, the younger uncle said, "Aunt... uncle... if you want to go into politics, you need to be at least at the ministerial level..."

After enduring a barrage of toasts from his uncles, Shen Qi turned to Old Ou and Aunt Ye: "Uncle Ou... Aunt Ye... let's just have a little something, okay..."

"Then I'll just give you a token amount." Old Ou downed three ounces of baijiu in one gulp and instructed, "Little Yezi is in your hands now. Treat her well."

Old Ou's feelings were complicated. He had warned Shen Qi more than once, "If you don't take responsibility for my daughter and abandon her after starting something, I, Old Ou, will not let you off the hook."

Okay, in front of Old Ou, as well as Old Ou's wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law, Eldest Uncle -in-law and sisters-in-law, Shen Qi bravely proposed to his beloved daughter Little Yezi, without abandoning her after starting a relationship.

The Prospective Son-in-law acted decisively, suddenly pulling out all the stops, leaving Old Ou in a dilemma: should he marry off his daughter, or not?

A father is always gratified when his daughter finds a good husband.

The father was reluctant to let his daughter leave with a man.

Old Ou drank one cup after another, three cups in a row, the complex emotions of an old father all contained in the baijiu.

"Uncle Ou, so that's what you meant?" Shen Qi was almost drunk. This wasn't the first time he'd drunk with Old Ou, so why did he always get this drunk?

"Alright, then I'll do my part too!" The newly minted Prospective Son-in-law was fearless. Shen Qi's current status in the Ou family was higher than that of Old Ou, and he was in high spirits.

Shen Qi downed three full cups in a row, then, feeling dizzy, he was carried away.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps as long as eternity, Shen Qi sobered up.

He found himself lying on a large bed, a familiar bed, a familiar pink blanket, a familiar room, and a familiar woman beside him.

This is Ou Ye's boudoir.

Wearing a bathrobe, Ou Ye gazed at Shen Qi with affection. "You're awake, Shen the Wine God. You became famous overnight in my house."

"Your uncles weren't just drinking, they were practically killing themselves!" Shen Qi said with a wry smile, his head aching and his stomach feeling unwell.

"Oh, I slept here yesterday, did I sleep with you?" Shen Qi asked. It seemed the Prospective Son-in-law's treatment had improved; Shen Qi had earned his rights through his own efforts.

"You bastard, you're drunk and you still... you know..." Ou Ye poked Shen Qi's chest.

"Let's go back to the capital," Shen Qi said.

"Mmm." Wearing the diamond ring, Ou Ye looked like a little bird nestled against someone, her face as gentle as a peach blossom.
