Chapter 306: Xia Nuannuan Feels Something Is Wrong

The couple was dumbfounded, but Xia Nuannuan's eyes became even brighter.

"Xiao Qin, buying a house is no small matter. Don't you need to discuss it with your mother?"

Su Xia asked in a solemn tone.

Qin Tian smiled and nodded: "Of course. I'll call my mom tonight to tell her about this. Don't worry, it shouldn't be a problem; she will agree."

"Xiao Qin, didn't you invest all the money you earned into the internet cafe?"

Xia Zhengping asked with a puzzled expression.

"Uncle Xia, I earned some money in the stock market, so buying an apartment is no problem."

Qin Tian answered with a smile.

"It's not just 'some,' it's several million!"

Xia Nuannuan interjected.

Xia Zhengping and his wife were shocked yet again.

It wasn't that they hadn't seen money; several million was mere pocket change to them.

But for Qin Tian, a young man who had just entered university, to have casually earned several million in the stock market was still enough to surprise them.

"Xiao Qin, you're also this knowledgeable about stocks?"

Xia Zhengping said in astonishment.

"Just a little!"

Qin Tian gave a humble smile.

"Another 'just a little'?"

Xia Zhengping rolled his eyes, feeling quite speechless.

Alright, the capabilities of this future son-in-law were truly being underestimated by him time and time again.

"Xiao Qin, it's no problem to look for an apartment for you while we're at it. When the time comes to buy, how about I cover the money for you first?"

Xia Zhengping looked at Qin Tian with even more appreciation. After offering his suggestion, he added, "I don't know much about stock trading, but I have many friends around me who do it. The more capital you have, the better. I happen to have a lot of spare cash here; you can just pay me back whenever it's convenient for you."

Su Xia and Xia Nuannuan both revealed happy smiles upon hearing this.

Lao Xia was truly becoming more and more sensible!

"Uncle, thank you for your kindness!"

Qin Tian smiled gratefully and politely declined: "But there's no need. I'm just dabbling in the stock market; earning this much now is just because I was lucky enough. Taking out a portion to buy an apartment makes me feel more secure."

This was, of course, a made-up excuse. With his current stock investment experience, combined with the foresight of a reborn person, as long as he played it steady, earning money no longer required the blessing of luck.

At most, it was just the difference between earning more when the market was good and earning less when the market was bad.

It wasn't that he was resistant to his future father-in-law's kindness, but his personality was just like this; he wasn't used to owing others anything, especially money and favors.

Buying a house with his own money gave him a greater sense of belonging.

"What you said is also right. For a young person to have this kind of money, buying an apartment early is also quite good. Alright, then I won't nag."

Xia Zhengping nodded and said.

"Xiao Qin, then what is your maximum budget?"

Su Xia suddenly asked again.

When the couple bought a house for their daughter, they naturally didn't need a budget; as long as it looked good, that was enough.

However, they weren't very clear about exactly how much money Qin Tian could come up with; "several million" was too vague a statement.

"Within five million is fine!"

Qin Tian answered casually with a smile.

Even though they were somewhat prepared, Xia Zhengping and his wife were shocked once again.

Currently, the average housing price in Jiangcheng was only six or seven thousand; five million was enough to buy not just an apartment, but a very nice large villa.

Xia Nuannuan looked at her parents' reaction, her eyebrows curving into crescents as she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Her boyfriend was just that outstanding!

"Enough, that's more than enough. No problem. Then we'll just look for two apartments, trying to choose the same layout, the better kind."

Su Xia said with a gentle smile.

"Mm, then I'll leave it to you, Uncle and Auntie."

"This is also good. When you buy the house, your mother and I can occasionally come to Jiangcheng to play for a few days; it'll be convenient for me to drive over."

"That would be great!"

Hearing this, Qin Tian felt even more that this house needed to be bought.

"Let's eat first. After we finish, we'll use the computer to search and see if there are any good real estate projects near their school."

Xia Zhengping said.

After they were full, Su Xia and Xia Nuannuan snatched the task of cleaning up the tableware, letting Qin Tian and Lao Xia go to the living room to sit and look at real estate.

After Su Xia and Xia Nuannuan finished cleaning up, they also came over to join the discussion.

There were many residential areas near Jiang University, and with the real estate industry booming in recent years, there were naturally quite a few new projects.

After some discussion, they circled a few residential areas with the best reputations. If Xia Zhengping and his wife had time tomorrow, they planned to go take a look.

After this matter was settled, they watched TV in the living room and chatted for a while.

Qin Tian took out his phone and checked the time, discovering it was already nearly nine o'clock in the evening; it was about time to return to school.

"Uncle Xia, Auntie, I'll head back to school first. Nuannuan, why don't you stay here tonight? I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

"This..."

"It's fine, you go back to school with Xiao Qin!"

Su Xia said with a smile.

"But I want to keep you company."

Xia Nuannuan looked even more conflicted.

"Forget it, there's only one week left until National Day. By then, you'll be in front of me every day, and you'll be complaining that I'm nagging again. Go on!"

Su Xia pinched her daughter's cheek with amusement.

"When did I ever complain that you were nagging!"

Xia Nuannuan pouted her little mouth.

"Nuannuan, just listen to your mother and go back to school with Xiao Qin today!"

Xia Zhengping chimed in.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want his daughter to stay, but if she did, it would most likely mean mother and daughter sleeping together to talk heart-to-heart, and he would have to spend the night in an empty room again.

Their good time had already been ruined by the two of them in the afternoon; if it happened again at night, that would be too unbearable.

"Hmph, you're both chasing me away, so I'll just go back to school."

Xia Nuannuan feigned a pouty look.

Hearing Lao Xia's words, Qin Tian didn't continue to persuade Xia Nuannuan to stay.

Thus, the two of them stood up and prepared to leave.

"Uncle, I'll leave the car here. I'll take a taxi over tomorrow to drive it back."

"It's fine, I'll arrange for someone to send it to your school tomorrow."

"That works too, thank you Uncle!"

"Go on, get back early, and pay attention to safety on the road."

"Okay!"

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

Subsequently, Xia Zhengping and his wife saw the two children out the door.

"Mom, I don't have anything to do tomorrow since it's the weekend. If you're bored, just call me, and I'll go shopping with you."

Xia Nuannuan said to her mother.

"We have to go look at houses tomorrow, how could I be bored? Alright, alright, don't worry about me, go on back!"

Su Xia waved her hand with a beaming smile.

"Then I'm leaving."

"Uncle, Auntie, goodbye!"

"Bye-bye, Nuannuan, send a message when you get to school."

"I know!"

The two of them said their goodbyes while walking into the elevator.

After walking out of the apartment building, Xia Nuannuan turned her head to glance upstairs, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Tian asked in confusion.

"Brother, something's not right. Why do I feel like they didn't want me to stay? I thought my mom would really miss me!"

Xia Nuannuan said in a somewhat disappointed tone.

Qin Tian took her little hand and, unable to hold back a smile, made up a story: "How could that be? Auntie just thought you wanted to go back to school. What she said was also right; National Day is coming up soon, a seven-day long holiday. You can keep her company more then."

"Is that so?"

Xia Nuannuan still felt something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

She raised her hand to hug Qin Tian's arm and chose to give up on thinking.

"Forget it, anyway, I did want to go back to school." ===== CHAPTER 307 =====
