“You are right, what should we do? I have to put this kid in his place, otherwise even if Nuannuan has a good temper, she'll be jealous in her heart!”
Tang Xiuxia could naturally guess that there was probably nothing between her son and that girl, but such a budding situation absolutely couldn't be allowed to exist!
What's more, that girl had followed them upstairs to buy a house, what was she trying to do?
Such a young and beautiful girl, flitting around in front of him every day, thinking about how to throw herself at him, her son was young and full of vigor, could he really be completely unmoved by temptation?
Even if the future daughter-in-law trusted her own son, what about the future in-laws?
Thinking like this, Tang Xiuxia became a little anxious.
“We’ll go back to Yucheng together in a couple of days, we can find an opportunity then!”
Qin Hongwen suggested.
Tang Xiuxia on the other end paused, and asked in surprise, “Together?”
“Yes, it’s also thanks to Xia Xia’s invitation. They were already planning to go back on the weekend, and they’re bringing me along.”
Qin Hongwen replied with a smile.
“Good, good!”
Tang Xiuxia was extremely happy, saying “good” twice, and then added, “No, we have to think of a way. Such a good daughter-in-law, we absolutely cannot let any accidents happen, not even a hint of it.”
Qin Hongwen: “……”
“I’ll listen to you, I’ll hold back for now. When you get back, we’ll find an opportunity to give that brat a good talking-to.”
Tang Xiuxia said in a deep voice.
“I think Xiao Tian has no intention towards that girl at all, it should be fine.”
Qin Hongwen comforted her.
“That won’t do either. You don’t know how capable young girls are nowadays. She’s already moved upstairs, who knows what other tricks she’ll pull.”
“If you bring this up, he’ll definitely guess that I’m the one complaining.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. Let me think carefully about how to put him in his place.”
…
…
The next afternoon, Qin Hongwen called Xia Nuannuan to invite them to dinner.
Under Xia Nuannuan’s questioning gaze, Qin Tian didn’t refuse, allowing her to accept the invitation.
After Xia Nuannuan discussed it with Qin Hongwen, they decided to eat hot pot near Jiangda University.
Qin Hongwen didn’t have them picked up by car, but took a taxi over.
The three met at the campus entrance and headed to the hot pot restaurant Xia Nuannuan had mentioned.
Many students around saw this scene and were curiously discussing it.
Some men’s charm increases with age.
Qin Hongwen undoubtedly belonged to this category.
With his outstanding height and looks, after reaching middle age, the mature, steady, refined, and amiable aura he exuded became even better.
For many girls who liked mature men, he was very attractive.
At this moment, quite a few girls around were looking at him.
“Who is that handsome uncle? Oh my god, he’s exactly my type.”
“He looks a bit like Qin Tian, could he be his father?”
“Now that you mention it, he really does. They look like a family!”
“But that’s not right. I saw the report about Qin Tian being the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Wasn’t he from a single-parent family? It seemed like his mother raised him alone.”
“Yes, yes, I saw that news too.”
“Then who is this person?”
“Could it be a reunion of long-lost father and son? Their looks and temperament are too similar!”
“…”
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan were already used to the attention.
“Are you guys very famous at school?”
Qin Hongwen asked curiously, noticing the situation around them.
Hearing this, Xia Nuannuan thought about the reasons for their repeated sensational occurrences at school and blushed a little with embarrassment.
“Isn’t brother last year’s top scorer with a perfect score? On the day military training ended, the school leaders asked him to speak, so many people recognized him.”
“I see, no wonder.”
Qin Hongwen nodded in realization, his eyes full of relief as he looked at his son.
He had been a top student in his youth, the envy of others, but he hadn’t managed to get the top score in the college entrance examination.
Not to mention being the unprecedented top scorer with a perfect score.
He had missed twenty years of his son’s life, yet his son had grown up to be even more outstanding than himself.
They arrived at the hot pot restaurant, and after ordering some dishes, Qin Tian remained silent, scrolling through his phone, while Xia Nuannuan chatted casually with Qin Hongwen.
“Class monitor, class monitor?”
A voice called out.
Xia Nuannuan looked over and saw two of her classmates, along with an unfamiliar boy, sitting at a dining table not far away.
“Class monitor, who is this uncle?”
The girl who called her smiled and nodded towards Qin Hongwen.
Xia Nuannuan’s gaze swept over the faces of the father and son, and she replied, “This is Uncle Qin.”
Upon hearing this address, the two girls immediately understood.
Glancing at Qin Tian, who was looking down silently, they were perceptive enough not to ask further questions, merely greeting Qin Hongwen politely.
“Hello, Uncle Qin…”
“Hello!”
Qin Hongwen nodded in response, his refined and gentle smile causing the two girls to momentarily daze.
The mature charm of such a middle-aged man was very captivating to young girls like them.
The boy sitting opposite the two girls, seeing this, hurriedly found a topic and started chatting with the girl he was pursuing, to divert her attention.
This boy felt mentally exhausted.
Not to mention Qin Tian, who unintentionally raised the bar for the difficulty of finding a partner for the boys in their cohort.
What was this Uncle Qin who suddenly appeared?
The restaurant was very busy, with most of the customers being students from Jiangcheng University coming for a meal. The serving speed was fast.
The waiter first brought the soup base and several meat dishes, asking how the soup base should be served.
Xia Nuannuan had ordered a tomato and spicy beef tallow split pot, with tomato broth on one side and spicy beef tallow broth on the other.
Having already learned that Qin Hongwen couldn’t tolerate too much spice, she asked the waiter to place the tomato broth on his side.
“Uncle Qin, let’s go get some dipping sauce!”
Xia Nuannuan said to Qin Hongwen.
“Okay!”
Qin Hongwen nodded in agreement and stood up.
Qin Tian made a move to stand up as well.
“Brother, you just sit here. I know how you like to mix your sauce, I’ll get it for you!”
Xia Nuannuan said to him, tilting her head.
Qin Tian nodded, and gave up the idea of going together.
After the two returned with the dipping sauce, the soup base had also started to boil.
Qin Hongwen took serving chopsticks and began to put meat into the pot, placing most of it into the spicy beef tallow broth.
The meat cooked quickly, and the three soon began to eat heartily.
Qin Tian quietly ate his food, occasionally placing some into Xia Nuannuan’s bowl.
“Uncle Qin, do you have a meeting tomorrow?”
Xia Nuannuan asked.
“I’m done with my work for today, but I have a lecture at your school tomorrow.”
Qin Hongwen said with a smile.
“A lecture?”
Xia Nuannuan showed a look of surprise.
Qin Tian also looked up at him.
“Yes!”
Qin Hongwen nodded and explained, “Vice Principal Chen at your school was my classmate in university. He invited me to give a lecture, so I agreed.”
