Su Mucheng spoke with an air of confidence.

"Hmm? Hmm..." The statement left Qiao Ze somewhat helplessly nodding his head.

"By the way, I've already mentioned this to Uncle Li."

"Oh."

"Speaking of which, although my dad only invited you, you might be the last one to be notified."

"It's fine."

"All right, let's stop chatting. You eat first, I'm going to watch a movie."

"Okay."

After Qiao Ze finished eating, Su Mucheng happily cleaned up everything and said, "Then remember to come to my house on time at five in the afternoon. If you arrive late, I'm afraid there will be too many people in the evening, and you won't have a seat, haha."

"Okay."

...

"Mr. Su, Happy New Year, I am here on behalf of the Xi Lin Mathematics Institute to wish your entire family prosperity this year."

As expected, the house became lively starting at four in the afternoon.

Xu Dajiang was the first to arrive with two professors from the institute, knocking on the Su family's door.

"Dean Xu, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, you're too polite."

Seeing the gifts in the hands of the three, Su Lixing felt overwhelmed.

"Haha, it's just a small token. I was thinking about taking the opportunity to have a meal here tonight, and I brought two bottles of fine wine. This Baicaoxiang has been specially stored by a friend, even more fragrant than Maotai. We'll have a good drink tonight. Ah... you don't know, I really have to thank you two greatly."

"How so?"

"Really, Mr. Su, Ms. Ning, if it wasn't for you having such an excellent daughter, I wouldn't know what kind of girl could be worthy of a child like Qiao Ze. Haha..."

"Um, that... please sit, take a seat..."

After ushering the guests into the living room, Su Lixing took the opportunity to go to his room to make a phone call.

"Zhang, you quickly find a highly-rated hotel near Xilin University of Technology, have them deliver a table of prepared dishes... Yes, that's the address I sent you before, it needs to arrive before 5:30."

Just as he hung up the phone, Ms. Su walked in.

Seeing his beloved, Su Lixing said angrily, "Coward!"

Ms. Su laughed and said, "You're really misunderstanding Qiao Ze here, it was your darling daughter who called him over in front of me. I had just finished telling her that you were going to invite Qiao Ze to dinner tonight, and she sent him a message on WeChat right away."

"Ah? That's... ah..." Su Lixing didn't know what to say.

Alright, he had to admit, with Qiao Ze's personality, he probably wouldn't have done such a thing.

But no matter how upset he was, in the end, it was his own daughter who had invited the guests, so a private dinner with Qiao Ze was now out of the question. He resigned himself to saying, "Alright, later, you go and invite the mother-in-law too. If it's impossible, we'll just have to clear things up with Qiao Ze tonight and get the issues between the kids sorted out."

This is the helplessness of having just one beloved daughter.

As a father, he was ultimately afraid of his child being at a disadvantage.

"You should have thought this way earlier. Chengzi is so clever, she won't make the wrong choice."

"I'm just worried that her future life will be boring."

"Come on, look who's talking. After you started getting busy with your career, how many words have you spoken to me? And when you finally get some free time, you still play with those models. Not to say whether Qiao Ze is more considerate than you, but at least he earns more money than you do."

"I... ah... that's right, you're right!"

...

So when Qiao Ze arrived at the Su family's house at five, it was already full of guests.

What surprised him was that Uncle Li had brought his girlfriend along.

After a brief introduction, Qiao Ze merely nodded at Mi Ge.

Well, that really was a very reserved personality.

Even without the mental preparation that Li Jian Gao had helped her with beforehand, Mi Ge wasn't dissatisfied.

Because, from her observations, Qiao Ze was like this with everyone, even towards his future in-laws.

If there was a need to describe it, it would be excessively calm.

It seemed as though he felt no tension about tonight's dinner, despite its slight resemblance to a Weiyang Banquet.

...

As Mi Ge had anticipated, a few of the institute's professors were overly complimentary, and Su Lixing ended up drinking quite a bit.

Actually, when it came down to it, Su Lixing's tolerance for alcohol was certainly not weak; it was much better than those academic types at the university.

But there was no competing on their turf—Xilin University of Technology—where they had the advantage of numbers. Lacking in potency, they triumphed through quantity.

After observing carefully, Mi Ge reached the conclusion that Qiao Ze's nature really wasn't well suited for Li Jian Gao.

At the dinner table, the guy was truly eating quietly by himself.

Even sitting right beside Su Lixing, he had no interaction with his future father-in-law whatsoever, not to mention helping him block some drinks or saying flattering words.

His character was indeed too strong.

The girl sitting next to him, however, was more attentive, never forgetting to serve Qiao Ze some dishes.

Mi Ge even saw a hint of envy in Su Lixing's eyes, which was too interesting.

...

"Qiao Ze, I know you don't drink, but could you join me for one today?" With the alcohol finally hitting him, Su Lixing handed a small wine cup to Qiao Ze, who had already put down his chopsticks, and asked.

"Dad... Brother Qiao..."

"It's okay." Qiao Ze interrupted Su Mucheng and directly picked up the wine bottle beside him, poured himself a drink, and then lifted his cup and downed it in one gulp.

The small wine cup was really tiny, the kind that you use with a wine divider, holding at most around one fluid ounce.

The liquor was slightly spicy on entry, a strange sensation for Qiao Ze.

Seeing Qiao Ze act so decisively, Su Lixing eventually didn't say anything, sighed, and said softly with a hint of drunkenness, "Qiao Ze, I'm entrusting Chengzi to you. I've had three wishes in my life, and the first one is for Chengzi to live safely and happily. I've managed her first half of life; the rest I leave to you."
