Chapter 101: No Sneak Attacks Next Time

After walking out of the Yucheng train station, Qin Tian took a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the residential complex where Xia Nuannuan lived.

By the time he reached the entrance of the complex, it was already past 10:00 PM.

Qin Tian sent a message to Xia Nuannuan, telling her he had arrived.

Xia Nuannuan, sitting at her desk, heard the sound of the message on her phone, beamed with joy, picked up her phone, and stood up.

After opening and reading the message, she couldn't wait to leave the room.

In the living room, Su Xia was eating melon seeds and watching a prime-time TV drama.

"Where are you going?"

Su Xia asked suspiciously, glancing at her daughter, who was walking hurriedly toward the entryway.

"That..."

Xia Nuannuan blushed as she changed her shoes and replied: "Didn't I tell you earlier that Qin Tian went to Jiangcheng? He brought me some duck necks, so I'm going to the gate to pick them up."

"I see!"

Su Xia nodded in realization and reminded her: "You're wearing pajamas. Go put on a coat!"

"No need, I'm not cold, and I don't want to keep him waiting."

Xia Nuannuan refused.

Su Xia rolled her eyes and said: "Do you want Mom to go down with you?"

"No, you just stay home and watch TV. I'll go."

Xia Nuannuan hurriedly refused again.

"Alright, come back quickly, don't catch a cold."

"I know!"

Immediately after, the sound of the door opening and closing followed.

Su Xia smiled gently and couldn't help but sigh: "Youth is truly something!"

They hadn't even officially started dating, yet they were already acting like "a day apart is like three autumns." What would happen in the future?

Thinking of this, she suddenly missed her husband, who was working hard to earn money for the family in Jiangcheng.

She picked up the phone on the coffee table and opened the chat app.

Seeing no message from her husband, Su Xia pouted and typed a message.

"Drink less alcohol!"

Seeing no reply from the other side, she put the phone on the sofa and continued eating melon seeds and watching TV.

At the entrance of the complex, Qin Tian saw Xia Nuannuan from afar, wearing pink cartoon-patterned pajamas and jogging toward him.

"Qin Tian!"

Xia Nuannuan also saw him and waved her arm with a sweet smile.

"Slow down, don't run."

Qin Tian shouted with concern.

"Oh!"

Xia Nuannuan replied obediently and slowed her pace to a fast walk.

In the guard booth nearby, the guard saw this scene and opened the door with a kind smile.

Qin Tian paused and hurriedly thanked the guard.

"Thank you!"

"Go on in!"

The guard said with a beaming smile.

Qin Tian nodded with a smile and stepped into the complex.

Xia Nuannuan ran up to Qin Tian and looked at him with a smile: "I told you not to bring them over. It's so late."

Her thin pajamas showed off the curves of her figure, which was already impressive for her age.

She must have been running, as she was slightly out of breath, making her unintentional lethality even more stunning.

Even Qin Tian, who considered his willpower to be quite strong, couldn't help but feel his heart race, and he quickly looked away, trying not to stare.

"Why didn't you put on more clothes? It's so cold at night."

Qin Tian said with a tone of slight reproach while pretending to be calm as he opened his shoulder bag.

"It's fine, I'm not cold."

Xia Nuannuan waved her hand.

"That's because you were running. You'll catch a cold once the wind blows."

Qin Tian took out the boxes of duck necks and duck wings he had brought back and handed them over: "Here, take them and go back quickly!"

"There's so much, I can't finish it. You take two boxes back!"

Xia Nuannuan said hurriedly.

"Eat them with your mom. I have another portion in my bag."

"Alright, thank you."

Xia Nuannuan reached out to take the bag, her bright eyes looking at him.

"What? Haven't seen me for a day and you're reluctant to part?"

Qin Tian teased with a chuckle.

Xia Nuannuan blushed and rolled her eyes at him: "You're thinking too much, I'm not."

"That's really heartbreaking, especially since I brought you delicious food from so far away."

Qin Tian clutched his chest, feigning a heartbroken and painful expression.

"Pfft!"

Xia Nuannuan was amused and said with a smile: "Stop acting, it's too fake!"

"Alright!"

Qin Tian shrugged helplessly.

A brief silence followed.

Both knew it was very late and they should go home, but both were reluctant to part.

"How about... I walk you to your building, and then I go back?"

Qin Tian asked tentatively.

"C-can you?"

Xia Nuannuan's eyes lit up.

"It's not far, let's go!"

Qin Tian put on his shoulder bag and said with a smile.

"Mm-hmm!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded vigorously, her eyes curving into crescents.

And so, the two walked together toward the building where Xia Nuannuan lived.

Qin Tian took off his jacket and draped it over Xia Nuannuan.

"My pajamas are very warm, really, I'm not cold. You'll catch a cold with just a T-shirt on."

"I won't, I'm healthy. Be obedient, wear it."

"Oh!"

Xia Nuannuan felt sweet inside and asked casually: "What did you do when you went to Jiangcheng today?"

Qin Tian didn't hide anything and briefly described his experience in Jiangcheng.

When she learned that he had earned 200,000 from those design drawings, Xia Nuannuan was both shocked and impressed, and countless little stars seemed to be twinkling in the eyes she looked at him with.

With tacit understanding, they both slowed their pace.

But it was only a few hundred meters, and they soon arrived at the building.

"Then... I'm going up!"

"Okay, eat something and go to sleep. Don't stay up late like yesterday."

"I know."

"Go on in!"

Qin Tian said with a smile.

Xia Nuannuan nodded and turned to leave, looking very reluctant.

Just as she had taken two steps, she suddenly turned back and hugged Qin Tian.

By the time Qin Tian recovered from the feeling of warmth and softness in his arms, Xia Nuannuan had already run inside like a startled little rabbit.

"This girl, she's getting bolder and bolder."

Qin Tian chuckled to himself and walked away with a pleasant mood.

After thanking the guard again and leaving the complex, Qin Tian took out his phone and sent a message.

"No sneak attacks next time, give me some time to prepare."

Xia Nuannuan had already returned home and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, just having taken the two boxes of duck necks and duck wings out of the bag to share with her mother.

Seeing this message on her phone, her face turned bright red.

"What's wrong?"

Su Xia leaned over with curiosity, wanting to take a look.

"Ah? No, nothing!"

Xia Nuannuan hurriedly turned off the screen in a flurry and said with a red face: "Mom, eat some duck neck, eat some duck neck."

"Tch, fine, don't let me see then!"

Su Xia muttered with a resentful look, picked up a duck neck, and took a bite, feeling depressed.

Her husband wasn't replying to messages, and her daughter had her own little secrets, making her feel a bit bored! ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
