Jin Lili only came back to her senses after Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan had walked far away. Her face full of concern, she went to help Zhou Biao up.
"Brother Biao, Brother Biao, are you alright!"
"Get away!"
Zhou Biao flung her hand away and struggled to his feet, clutching his abdomen.
He knew Qin Tian had held back with his final punch, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get up now.
He truly liked this woman, Jin Lili.
He knew she liked to stir up trouble for him, but Zhou Biao had never taken it to heart, thinking she wouldn't be able to cause trouble with any major figures in this small Jade City.
Thus, he had always indulged her.
At this moment, Zhou Biao's gaze swept over his group of brothers who were sprawled on the ground, and he felt a pang of regret.
Qin Tian was right.
If he couldn't even control his own woman, what kind of man was he? She might even cause trouble for him in the future.
This time, the other party had shown mercy, but what about next time?
Like that ruthless individual in Jiang City who had killed people with his bare hands!
Thinking of this, Zhou Biao felt even more strongly that it was necessary to properly discipline Jin Lili.
"Brother Biao..."
Jin Lili keenly sensed the change in Zhou Biao's attitude towards her, and her heart immediately tensed up.
Without Zhou Biao, she was just an ordinary beer girl.
"Jin Lili, I like you, but there are plenty of beautiful women out there. From now on, behave yourself, or if others don't hit you, I'll have to."
Zhou Biao stared into her eyes and said coldly.
Jin Lili trembled all over, her heart sinking to the bottom. She realized that her life wouldn't be so easy from now on.
"Did you hear me!"
Zhou Biao reprimanded.
"Mhm!"
Jin Lili lowered her head with red eyes, obediently answering.
"Don't think I don't know what you're like. You just saw someone handsome and went to strike up a conversation, provoking him and getting yourself hit, didn't you?"
"Now you've hit a brick wall, are you satisfied? Comfortable?"
"Pah! A leopard can't change its spots. If you like striking up conversations, then go back to selling beer!"
Zhou Biao spat a mouthful of blood onto the ground, then ignored her and turned to help his subordinates up.

"Qin Tian, are you injured anywhere? If you are, we can go to the hospital to get it checked."
Xia Nuannuan's concerned gaze swept over him, her expression serious as she asked.
Qin Tian was touched and smiled, shaking his head. "No, they didn't hit me at all. I'm perfectly fine!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Xia Nuannuan breathed a sigh of relief, her expression excited.
"Qin Tian, have you practiced martial arts? You're so amazing, with just a few punches and kicks you took them all down!"
As she spoke, she clenched her small fists and gestured in front of her, even adding sound effects herself.
Just as every boy has a wuxia dream, girls also have a hero complex.
Every girl has a hero living in her heart.
When they encounter danger, this peerless hero will arrive in golden armor, riding a colorful auspicious cloud to save them.
Having witnessed Qin Tian's power firsthand, Xia Nuannuan's admiration and affection grew even stronger.
Qin Tian looked at her cute expression and actions, and couldn't help but nod. "You could say that!"
"You're really amazing, I was stunned just now."
Xia Nuannuan's face bloomed into a smile, then she changed the subject. "But I was also very worried and scared. If you can avoid fighting, please don't fight, okay?"
"Okay!"
Qin Tian smiled and agreed.
"Hee hee..."
Xia Nuannuan giggled happily, her eyelids lowered, she glanced at his large hand swinging by his side.
After walking side by side for a few steps, she stealthily glanced again from the corner of her eye.
I really want to hold hands!
The young girl's heart fluttered.
However, Qin Tian was considering what to exchange with the 666 points he had obtained today and didn't notice her thoughts.
The fight just now had made him appreciate the thrill of wielding power even more.
Should he exchange for another bottle of Physique Potion?
Or directly exchange for attribute points?
But then he thought, his current strength was sufficient for now.
The remaining two missions couldn't be completed for the time being, and points were precious.
For a moment, Qin Tian felt a bit indecisive.
"Huh?"
As he was thinking about what to exchange for, he suddenly felt a touch on the back of his right hand.
He turned his head, looking at Xia Nuannuan with a puzzled gaze.
He saw Xia Nuannuan looking up at the distance, pretending to admire the blue sky and white clouds.
But her flushed cheeks and ears completely betrayed her.
Qin Tian's gaze shifted down to her small hand.
As if sensing his gaze, Xia Nuannuan made a move to hide her hand behind her back.
Unfortunately, Qin Tian didn't give her the chance, quickly grabbing her small hand.
Her hand was soft, plump, and her delicate skin was slightly cool, feeling very comfortable.
The moment her hand was held by him, Xia Nuannuan's delicate body trembled, and she felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her heart was bubbling with joy.
Afterward, neither of them spoke, and they walked quietly, hand in hand.
The journey of about ten minutes felt as brief as a few seconds to them.
"We're here."
"Mhm!"
"Then I'm going back. See you at school later."
"Mhm!"
They stood at the entrance of Xia Nuannuan's residential complex, saying goodbye, but their hands remained clasped.
"Nuannuan?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice came.
Xia Nuannuan withdrew her hand as if shocked and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
It was a well-maintained, still charmingly beautiful woman, carrying a shopping bag filled with various ingredients. She looked like she had just returned from grocery shopping.
It was none other than her mother.
"Mom!"
Xia Nuannuan called out in a flustered manner, her pretty face turning red as she lowered her head.
Beside her, Qin Tian's eyes widened instantly.
What should he do if he was caught holding the daughter's hand by the future mother-in-law?
Waiting online! It's urgent!
Su Xia narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, her gaze examining Qin Tian from head to toe with a knowing look.
She had already seen Qin Tian last night.
But the light was too dim, and they were too far apart, so she couldn't see clearly.
Now she could see him clearly.
He looked tall and handsome, refined and dignified, stood straight, and had a good temperament. He didn't seem timid when he saw her.
This first impression was quite good.
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Qin Tian. I'm Xia Nuannuan's classmate and deskmate."
Qin Tian regained his senses and introduced himself with a smile.
Since they had been discovered, and there was no way to hide, he decided to face it with a more relaxed attitude.
"Hello!"
Su Xia nodded and smiled, quite surprised.
"Auntie, I ate the sandwich you made this morning. It was delicious."
Qin Tian offered his compliment.
"Is that so?"
Su Xia glanced at her daughter, who had lowered her head even further, and said with a hint of teasing, "I was wondering why she brought two sets of food and drinks when she left this morning. So, it was for you!"
"Yes."
Qin Tian smiled and nodded.
"Xiao Qin, would you like to come up for dinner?"
Su Xia smiled and extended the invitation.
Qin Tian paused for a moment and politely declined. "Not today. My mother is probably already making dinner at home. Nuannuan told me you make many delicious dishes, I'll have to try them another time."
Another flattering remark, spoken very gracefully.
"Is that so!"
Su Xia smiled and nodded. "Alright, then next time for sure!"
"Okay, Auntie. I'll be going back now."
Qin Tian said goodbye with a light smile.
"Go ahead!"
Su Xia replied.
"Nuannuan, see you at school!"
Qin Tian said to Xia Nuannuan again.
"Mhm..."
Xia Nuannuan answered in a voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
Qin Tian gave his future mother-in-law a clean and refreshing smile before turning to leave.
