After leaving the hospital, my mother went back to the mall store, while Qin Tian took a taxi to Xia Nuannuan's house.
Unexpectedly, it was my future father-in-law who opened the door.
"Uncle, I'm sorry!"
Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, then apologized with a guilty look on his face.
After receiving the call from his wife, Lao Xia drove back from Jiangcheng as quickly as possible. He was indeed a little bit resentful at first, but Qin Tian's attitude made him dissipate his resentment immediately.
Of course he also knew that Qin Tian was not to blame for what happened today. His daughter also said that she did not let Qin Tian follow.
But no matter what, it was the first time his precious daughter encountered such danger, and he was still frightened.
"come in!"
Lao Xia nodded calmly.
Qin Tian responded and followed into the house.
In the living room, in addition to Xia Nuannuan and her future mother-in-law, her grandparents were also there.
Grandma was holding one of Xia Nuannuan's hands, her wrinkled face still showing uneasiness and anxiety.
"Xiao Qin, you are here!"
The old man said hello.
"Well, grandpa, I'm sorry, I should be with Nuannuan."
Qin Tian sincerely apologized to the old man again.
"What are you talking about? I can't blame you!"
The old man waved his hand.
"Yes, blame me if you want. Jiajia and I shouldn't have chased after him so recklessly."
Xia Nuannuan said hurriedly.
"Okay, it's all over. No one is to blame anymore. Let's not talk about it anymore."
Grandma spoke.
"Your grandma is right, Nuannuan, let this matter be a lesson today, and there is no need to say it again."
Su Xia agreed and said to Qin Tian with a smile: "Xiaotian, have you had dinner? You're a little late. We just finished eating. I'll get you a bowl of noodles?"
"Don't bother, I ate it on the way."
Qin Tian told a little lie.
"Okay, come on, sit here."
Su Xia waved and moved to the side.
Qin Tian walked over and sat down on the sofa between Xia Nuannuan and his future mother-in-law.
Xia Nuannuan's left hand was held by her grandma. After watching him sit down, she immediately stretched out her right hand and placed it on the back of his hand.
Qin Tian smiled slightly and held her little hand with his backhand.
"Brother, how is Zhang Peng doing?"
Xia Nuannuan asked with concern.
"I'm fine now. I should be able to leave the hospital in a few days."
"That's good."
"This is a blessing in disguise for him. Didn't you see that after Tian Jiajia's parents met his parents, the expressions on their faces were even more exciting than watching TV series, my mother said."
Qin Tian said with a chuckle.
"Yeah?"
Xia Nuannuan also had a smile on her face, and said regretfully: "I should also go along."
"What? Zhang Peng and Tian Jiajia are..."
Su Xia looked at the two of them with surprise.
Qin Tian smiled and nodded, and said: "They probably have a crush on each other, but they didn't admit it before."
"That's it!"
Su Xia smiled suddenly, looked at her daughter and said, "Nuan Nuan, you didn't even tell me about this, I didn't even notice it."
"What's there to say? You're such a nosy!"
Xia Nuannuan said funny.
"How can a woman not gossip? Look at your Aunt Tang, isn't she the same?"
"Yes, yes, you are right."
"Let's buy some fruit tomorrow morning and go take a look. Tian Jiajia should be there, right?"
"How would I know!"
…
…
Sitting in the Xia family's living room until almost nine o'clock, Qin Tian thought that his mother should have gone back, so he said goodbye.
Lao Xia took the initiative to send him downstairs, his eyes indicating that he had something to say to him alone.
After the two entered the elevator, Qin Tian turned his questioning eyes to Lao Xia beside him.
In the silent atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Xiao Qin."
Lao Xia's voice suddenly sounded.
"Um?"
Qin Tian responded hurriedly.
Lao Xia turned his head and looked at him, and said slowly: "Uncle, I know you are not to blame for what happened today, but, I just feel a little uncomfortable. You know, our husband and wife have always wanted to hold Nuan Nuan in our hands and pamper them.
Well, she has never encountered any danger since she was a child."
"clear!"
Qin Tian nodded solemnly.
At this time, the elevator reached the first floor.
The two got out of the elevator, walked out of the unit building, and headed towards the gate of the community.
Along the way, Lao Xia talked a lot.
The general meaning is that the couple has protected their daughter for eighteen years, which means that including the ten-month pregnancy, it is close to nineteen years.
The couple is very caring and will continue to protect their daughter for the rest of their lives, but the one closest to her in the future will only be Qin Tian.
After walking out of the gate of the community, the two stopped.
"Uncle, don't worry, I promise this won't happen again."
Qin Tian looked solemn and said with a firm tone as if he was making an oath.
"Okay, I believe you."
Lao Xia smiled and nodded, slowly raised his right hand and patted his shoulder.
"I will find someone to make arrangements for those three thieves. Even if they get in, I won't let them have an easy time."
When he said this, Lao Xia had a smile on his face, but a sharp cold light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Qin Tian was shocked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.
Being able to start from scratch in the 1990s and now be worth billions, this future father-in-law is by no means just a good husband and father with insufficient family status.
If you were not ruthless enough to start a business in that era and didn't have the means, you would have been eaten to pieces long ago.
Seeing that he could regain his composure so quickly, Lao Xia also showed relief in his eyes.
As a man, you should love your wife and spoil your daughter at home, and you don't have to give up your family status.
But when it comes to external competitors, especially enemies who threaten the safety of your family, you must not be soft-hearted or cowardly.
"Nuan Nuan's birthday is coming in a few days. We are going to give her a half-birthday party as a family. You two should ask for leave from school in advance and return to Jiangcheng after the birthday. By the way, ask your mother if you want to come over and give her a birthday party together.
Let’s celebrate warmly.”
Lao Xia said with a smile.
"Ah? Well... then I'll go back and talk to my mother."
Qin Tian hurriedly agreed.
"Well, it depends on what your mother says. If you don't come this time, I'll make formal arrangements to meet you during the Chinese New Year."
"OK!"
"Okay, go ahead, I'm going back too."
Lao Xia patted his shoulder again, turned around and left.
Qin Tian stood there, staring blankly as Lao Xia entered the community and walked away.
Lao Xia is about 1.78 meters tall, which is shorter than him. His round figure and protruding beer belly make people feel like they are out of breath even if they run a few steps.
However, for some reason, Qin Tian felt that his back was so tall and majestic, making people awe-inspiring.
After walking a certain distance, Lao Xia turned around and saw that he was still standing there. With a gentle smile, he raised his left hand and waved, signaling him to go home quickly.
Qin Tian smiled, nodded, turned and left.
"Father..."
He muttered something in a voice that only he could hear, and looked up at the deep night sky, wondering what he was thinking.
