Li Xia sat somewhat awkwardly on the sofa in her own home.
Gu Mingxuan, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm. Having seen plenty of grand occasions, he was quite adept at handling a situation like this.
Of course, he was indeed a little nervous inside, but he was not someone who liked to wear his emotions on his face—especially nervousness.
In business warfare, if your competitors knew you were nervous, then...
"Little Gu, right?"
Before Gu Mingxuan could think any further, an imposing pressure swept over him, making him feel deeply oppressed.
This sense of oppression was not because the other party held a high position, but because he was Li Xia's father.
No, wait!
What was with this pressure?
Other than Chen Shaoman, this was the first time Gu Mingxuan had felt pressure intense enough to make him nervous.
He looked toward Father Li, and his tone unconsciously lowered, completely losing its usual arrogance.
"Yes, Uncle Li."
Seeing Gu Mingxuan turn into such an obedient boy, even Li Xia found it rather incredible.
Why did Teacher Gu suddenly seem kind of cute?
"Where are you from?"
"The capital."
"What do you do?"
"I'm a university teacher."
Mm, and the part-time president of Imperial Dynasty Esports.
Naturally, he usually did not mention that. Otherwise, they would feel pressured, and he still hoped to get along with Li Xia's parents more casually.
"A university teacher? Then you must be quite old, right?"
Father Li frowned, clearly already somewhat dissatisfied.
His daughter was only twenty-four. If she found someone thirty-six or thirty-seven, he would not be able to accept that.
"No, Teacher Gu is Jiang University's youngest university professor. He's only thirty," Li Xia immediately explained when she saw that her father was dissatisfied.
Dad! Don't ruin your daughter's lifelong happiness!
