1516 You Didn’t Intend To Marry Me? (1/2)

”My older brother is…” Li Jinnan took a moment to do the math, ”34. His wedding will be at the end of the month. After he's done, it'll be our turn.”

That statement took Ye Youyou completely by surprise. She raised her head and looked at Li Jinnan. He was focused on eating his breakfast.

When he sensed her gazed, he looked to meet it and asked, ”What's wrong?”

”You really want to marry me?” Ye Youyou found it too sudden. Everything was moving at a pace too fast to comprehend.

Li Jinnan gave her an incredulous expression and said, ”If I had no intention to marry you, having sex with you, no strings attached, would make me a douchebag. If my grandfather were to find out, it'd be corporal punishment for me! That whip is really thick.”

As he spoke, he lifted two fingers as a comparison. ”Not only is it thick, it's dipped in oil too. Getting lashed by it is no joke! Back then, it was all thanks to this object that I ended up in hospital for a few days! It was so unbearably painful!”

Ye Youyou felt her mouth go dry and asked, ”Your family is so strict in their teachings?”

”You've got to be joking!” Li Jinnan couldn't bear to recall that incident. The mere thought of that whip was enough to send shivers down his spine.

”What did you do in the past to warrant the corporal punishment?” Ye Youyou rested her chin on her hand and looked at him in curiosity.

Li Jinnan took a sip of soy milk and replied, ”I retired from the military because I didn't want to continue. My Old Man got so infuriated that he gave me over 10 lashes.”

That statement was made offhandedly, but Ye Youyou could tell that it wasn't as simple as he made it out to be. She bent her head and continued with her breakfast. She took another bite, but her mind was elsewhere.

Li Jinnan saw her expression and found it hilarious. He looked at her in exasperation and asked, ”You didn't intend to marry me?”
