He apologized for his presumptuousness and for his inauspicious words. Then, as if the words were tumbling out one after another, he brought up his old request again, asking Xu Qiguang to give him a chance.
'If I don't give you a chance, are you just going to give up?' Xu Qiguang looked at him with complicated feelings. 'Step by step... It's impossible to say this kid doesn't have a scheme.'
"Dad."
'He's gotten used to calling me that?' Xu Qiguang shot Shen Weimin a speechless, sideways glance. "Your words don't match your heart. This whole performance today isn't just about getting me to give you a chance."
'Better be honest. Changqing really dislikes it when people play mind games with her.' "I admit it. I intentionally let everyone see me come to your door to propose marriage."
Xu Qiguang sneered.
