Chapter 208

Before long, Xia Zhengping and Su Xia, the couple, came over with glasses to toast.

The two specifically thanked Li Yanwang for his educational kindness and also sincerely thanked the group of good friends around their daughter.

After everyone drank a glass together, Xia Nuannuan also followed her parents to toast at other tables.

After the banquet ended, Qin Tian was appointed by everyone as the representative to go and say goodbye to Xia Nuannuan's parents, and then everyone prepared to leave.

Now Xia Nuannuan and her parents were busy arranging for a group of relatives and friends, so it definitely wouldn't work for the whole group to go over.

Most of the relatives wouldn't just leave like that, but were arranged to go to the hotel to play cards or go to Xia Nuannuan's home to rest.

There was another banquet in the afternoon, but Qin Tian and the others didn't plan to come.

"Uncle Xia, Auntie, then we'll be leaving first!"

Qin Tian went over and found an opportunity to say goodbye to Xia Zhengping and his wife.

The three looked at him upon hearing his voice, and Su Xia immediately spoke up to keep them, "Why go back so early? Just stay and play here, there's another meal in the afternoon!"

"Right, tell Teacher Li and the others not to leave either. I'll give you two rooms, you go and play for a while, dinner starts at five in the afternoon, it'll be very soon!"

Xia Zhengping agreed.

"No, we're all full, we won't be coming in the afternoon."

Qin Tian refused with a smile.

The couple looked at Li Yanwang and the others not far away and didn't force them anymore.

"Alright then, Nuan Nuan, you go with Xiao Qin and help us see off Teacher Li and the others. We're really too busy right now."

Su Xia looked at her daughter beside her and said.

"Okay!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded with a smile and agreed.

"Teacher Li, goodbye!"

Xia Zhengping shouted and waved goodbye to Li Yanwang with a full face of smiles.

Li Yanwang smiled and nodded.

Afterward, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan walked over and left together with Li Yanwang and the others.

"Brother-in-law, don't go, stay and play with us for a while!"

Suddenly, a girl's shout came.

Qin Tian looked over and saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl not far away, waving at him with her right arm held high.

"Xiao Xue!"

Xia Nuannuan glared at her with annoyance.

"Heehee... Sister, don't let brother-in-law just leave like that!"

The girl smiled brightly and made a gesture to walk toward them, but was grabbed by the arm by her mother beside her.

"Xiao Xue, don't mess around!"

"I'm not messing around, I just want to get to know brother-in-law!"

"Your younger sister?"

Qin Tian looked at Xia Nuannuan with an inquiring gaze.

"Mm, my third uncle's daughter, Xia Xue!"

Xia Nuannuan introduced with a slightly red face.

"Home with Kids?"

Tian Jiajia, who was walking behind, blurted out in surprise.

Xia Nuannuan smiled and nodded: "It's the same name!"

"Nuan Nuan, then don't you also have a cousin named Xia Yu?"

Zhang Peng asked with a grin.

Xia Nuannuan shook her head helplessly and replied: "No, I do have a cousin, but he couldn't come today, but his name isn't Xia Yu!"

Qin Tian looked at Xia Nuannuan's cousin and shouted loudly with a hearty smile: "We'll be heading back first today, let's play together again when we have time!"

"Alright, brother-in-law, it's a promise!"

Xia Xue waved her arm and shouted loudly.

Qin Tian smiled and nodded.

After exiting the hotel, Li Yanwang, Zhang Peng, and the others said their goodbyes one after another and left separately.

Qin Tian was carrying the seafood feast packed for his mother and prepared to go to the mall area first.

Xia Nuannuan looked down at the bag in his hand and asked: "Is this enough? Or should I go and have the hotel kitchen make some more?"

"It's enough, how could my mom eat so much? Really don't need to bother."

Qin Tian said with a light laugh.

"Alright!"

Xia Nuannuan smiled slightly and asked again: "Then in a few days, are you planning to go back to your hometown?"

Qin Tian had already told her about his plan to go back to his hometown to hold a celebration banquet.

"Mm!"

Qin Tian nodded and invited: "Do you want to go with us when the time comes?"

"Ah? I'm going too?"

Xia Nuannuan was stunned.

"Right, of course if you don't want to go, then forget it."

"No, I want to go!"

"Then it's settled!"

Qin Tian said with a smile.

At this time, quite a few guests were walking out of the hotel entrance one after another, and many were sizing up Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan with intrigued gazes.

"Xiao Qin, right? You have to be good to our Nuan Nuan, otherwise we won't agree!"

A middle-aged man said loudly in a tone that was teasing but carried a hint of threat.

Hearing this, Xia Nuannuan's pretty face flushed red at a visible speed, and she glared at the man with annoyed eyes: "Cousin-uncle, don't talk nonsense!"

Clearly, this was an elder from Xia Nuannuan's mother's side.

According to Xia Nuannuan's address, he should be her mother's cousin or younger cousin, of course, she could also just call him uncle.

There were many other people beside the man, all looking at Qin Tian with smiles; they should all be Xia Nuannuan's mother's family, and naturally, they were also her family.

A bright smile appeared on Qin Tian's handsome face, and he promised the man loudly: "Uncle, you can rest assured, I will definitely be good to Nuan Nuan, otherwise, let alone you, I wouldn't even agree to it myself."

"Good lad, haha..."

The man laughed happily.

The others beside him also had hearty laughs, and the looks they cast at Qin Tian were full of appreciation.

This "uncle" not only made them beam with joy but also made Xia Nuannuan's pretty face turn even redder.

Of course, everyone had already heard that this talented young man in front of them was also this year's provincial college entrance exam top scholar, and an unprecedented perfect-score top scholar at that.

When they were discussing this at the wine table just now, many people suddenly realized that they had seen Qin Tian's photo and interview in the newspaper news.

Coupled with Xia Nuannuan's speech on stage earlier, everyone was very satisfied with Qin Tian.

"Xiao Qin, don't leave yet, we're one short, come and join us for a game of mahjong!"

The man invited with a full face of smiles.

"No, you can see, I'm in a hurry to deliver food to my mom. Next time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Haha... that's true, alright, then we'll talk about it later!"

The man nodded happily and agreed.

"Then Uncle, and all the elders, have a good time, I'll be leaving first."

Qin Tian politely said goodbye to everyone, then looked at Xia Nuannuan and said: "Nuan Nuan, I'm leaving!"

"Mm!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded with a blushing face.

Qin Tian smiled and waved at the group of elders again, then turned and left.

After watching him walk far away, Xia Nuannuan glared at her cousin-uncle with puffed-up cheeks.

"Nuan Nuan, this Xiao Qin is quite good."

The man praised with a mischievous smile.

"Our Nuan Nuan's taste is really not bad!"

"Looking at them, they really are a good match!"

"We'll let it slide this time, but next time we see him, we must pull this lad over and have a few good drinks with us!"

"Right, right, right, it's a must!"

"..."

Listening to the enthusiastic discussions of her cousin-uncle and the others, Xia Nuannuan felt her cheeks burning.

"I'm not talking to you guys anymore."

Stamping her feet in shyness, Xia Nuannuan turned and entered the hotel.

The happy laughter of the group of elders came from behind her, making her quicken her pace even more out of shyness.
