The faint smile froze on Nian Junting’s face. Younger brother? What the hell, he thought. I look like her mother? Does Sangsang’s dad have eye problems? Do I look younger than her?

The corners of Luosang’s mouth twitched because of what her father had said.

Xu Zhengxuan kept observing Nian Junting with a complicated look. “You look older than you are. Have you and your mother been living a hard life these past few years?”

I look older than I am… Nian Junting took a heavy hit. He believed that he looked mature and reliable. His future father-in-law was not good at talking. Nian Junting wanted to burst out yelling, but he couldn’t. Seeing him fighting himself, Luosang laughed so hard that her stomach even ached. “Dad, you misunderstood. This is my boyfriend,” she said.

Xu Zhengxuan paused in shock. Realizing that he had mistaken Nian Junting for his son, he was a little embarrassed and disappointed. He thought that his son had come back. “You’re only my daughter’s boyfriend. How could you just call me father? You even made me misunderstand.” He couldn’t help but complain.

“I think I’ll be calling you father eventually. I don’t care if it starts sooner or later. Changing how I address someone can be troublesome,” Nian Junting said seriously. “Father, good to meet you. Please let me introduce myself. My name is Nian Junting. I’m thirty years old. I graduated from New York University, blood type B, and I’m a Leo. I used to be a soldier, but I have retired and founded my own company. Currently, I’m running a public company. My assets total thirty billion dollars. I have never married. I don’t smoke, or drink, or gamble. My parents divorced a couple of days ago. My mother is running our family business. Currently, she’s getting to know her new boyfriend. My father works in the army. He’s not a good husband, but he has dedicated as much as he can to our country. I didn’t get his shortcomings. Under my own supervision, I have become a great man. I also have a sister. She’s twenty-five years old, and she’s a police officer in a low place. She recently broke up with her ex-boyfriend, so I think she’s gonna become one of those leftover ladies. Your daughter and I have dated for five months and twenty-two days. I have proposed to her, and she has said yes. Today, I’m here to visit you, my father, officially.”

Luosang didn’t know what to say. She only wondered if Nian Xi would explode if she heard him call her a “leftover lady.”

Xu Zhengxuan was stunned by Nian Junting’s long speech. When he was teaching, he had a rather great memory. However, he had barely used his brain ever since he was in prison, so his brain didn’t work as well as it used to. He spent quite a while but only managed to process 40 percent of what he had just heard.

“It sounds good.” A short while later, he nodded and said, “It’s just, New York University is a little non-ideal, isn’t it?”

Nian Junting didn’t respond. New York University is non-ideal? It ranked thirty-second among all universities in the United States, he said to himself.

“I graduated from the University of Tokyo, and I finished my study two years early. Sangsang got an offer from the University of Toronto when she graduated from high school, but she refused to go so far away to study, because she wanted to stay with me.” Xu Zhengxuan sighed.

Nian Junting couldn’t continue the conversation. The University of Tokyo was one of the top 30 universities in the world, so indeed, it was much better than his school. He blamed Lu Kang for not making it clear to him before he came in and for making him lose face. However, he was also delighted to find that both his girlfriend and future father-in-law were good at studying. Nice. Our children will easily get into Haver, he thought.

“You didn’t need to mention that. I’ve been keeping a low profile.” Luosang rolled her eyes, then said to Xu Zhengxuan, “Dad, he used to be a soldier. He went back to school after retiring from the army and then got into NYU. It’s already good enough.”
