Chapter 329: Why Did You Close the Door

~8 min read 1,415 words

Crystal shoes represent pure love, implying that you are my Cinderella, my princess.

And high heels mean maturity and elegance to girls, and as an eighteenth birthday gift, they have a special meaning.

Combining the two, there could be nothing more suitable.

Xia Nuannuan only knew part of the implication, but the wise and gentle Su Xia helped complete the interpretation.

Old Xia and her grandparents felt even more satisfied after hearing this.

It seemed that Qin Tian hadn't just prepared eighteen birthday gifts, but had also put a lot of thought into every single one.

"Thank you, I love this gift so much."

Xia Nuannuan looked at Qin Tian with eyes as gentle as water, so moved that her heart felt like it was melting.

"As long as you like it."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

"Hurry up and open another one, then let's go eat, otherwise the dishes will get cold."

Su Xia said with a smile.

Xia Nuannuan hummed, her eyes curving into crescents: "Opened the eighteen-year-old one, then let's open the one-year-old one!"

"Good idea!"

The old man nodded in agreement with a smile.

The gifts were put in order, and after everyone helped pick up the gifts on top, Qin Tian took out the gift box with the "One Year Old" note and handed it to Xia Nuannuan.

Xia Nuannuan opened the package with anticipation, discovering it was an exquisite picture frame inside.

Picking up the frame and flipping it over, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.

Clearly, this was a painting Qin Tian had done himself, with two little people on it.

One of the little people was lying in a cradle, biting its finger, eyes wide open, looking curiously at the little boy standing outside the cradle.

Xia Nuannuan recognized it at a glance; the chubby little guy in the cradle was exactly her at one year old.

And the little boy who looked slightly older, Xia Nuannuan, who had seen Qin Tian's childhood photos, immediately recognized it as Qin Tian himself.

"I am one year older than you, so the painting is of me at two years old and you at one year old."

Qin Tian explained.

"Oh my, Xiao Qin paints so well!"

Grandma praised with a face full of smiles.

"Indeed good, Xiao Qin really is multi-talented, he even has the talent to be a painter!"

The old man agreed with a smile.

"Xiao Qin, no wonder you asked me for those photos of Nuannuan's first birthday before, so it was for this!"

Su Xia showed a look of sudden realization.

"Yes."

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

"When Nuannuan was one year old, there was indeed such a photo, but the one standing beside the cradle should have been me."

Xia Zhengping said with a sour tone.

"Uh..."

Qin Tian froze for a moment, then laughed awkwardly: "Uncle Xia, sorry, I thought this photo was the best, so I used it as a reference to paint."

"Considering these gifts of yours today, I'll let it slide."

Old Xia glared at him.

Hearing this, the house was filled with everyone's happy laughter again.

"Brother, I love this gift too, I will treasure it well."

Xia Nuannuan said with a sweet smile.

"No need for that, use what can be used, like those shoes, they can also be worn."

Qin Tian smiled and said.

"No, I can't bear to wear them!"

Xia Nuannuan shook her head and refused immediately.

"Then should I buy two pairs?"

Qin Tian asked seriously.

The elders couldn't help but laugh again.

"You can keep them for collection usually, but on some important festivals, anniversaries, etc., you can wear them."

Su Xia suggested amusingly.

Xia Nuannuan thought about it, then nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's go eat!"

The old man said.

Everyone responded and came to the dining table to take their seats.

Naturally, there had to be alcohol today, and Old Xia had already prepared several bottles of expensive Feitian Moutai.

Qin Tian helped open a bottle of wine, filled the glasses for Grandpa and Grandma first—Grandma could also drink, and her tolerance was no less than Grandpa's.

Then he poured a glass for Old Xia, and finally for himself.

Xia Nuannuan and Su Xia drank wine with lower alcohol content, which was also good stuff Old Xia had brought back from Jiangcheng.

"Come, come, let's clink glasses first, wishing our Nuannuan a happy eighteenth birthday, she's a big girl from now on."

The old man raised his glass and shouted.

Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses, sending blessings to Xia Nuannuan.

"Thank you Grandpa and Grandma, thank you Dad and Mom, and thank you Brother."

Xia Nuannuan thanked them one by one with a beaming smile, saying: "Today is the happiest birthday I've ever had."

"We celebrated your birthday like this before too, it seems Xiao Qin is the most important after all!"

The old man teased with a smile.

"Grandpa..."

Xia Nuannuan looked at the old man with resentful little eyes, blushing.

"Hahaha... Grandpa understands, I won't say it, let's drink, let's drink."

The old man laughed and took a sip of wine.

Everyone also took a sip.

Drinking as a family, naturally, it was whatever they felt like.

"Alright, pick up your chopsticks, eat the dishes, eat the dishes."

The old man picked up his chopsticks first and said to Qin Tian: "Xiao Qin, help yourself to the dishes, don't be polite, eat more."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I've eaten here many times, when have I ever been polite?"

Qin Tian grinned.

The elders were amused again.

In the happy atmosphere, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to enjoy the food.

Qin Tian also didn't stand on ceremony, eating the dishes in big mouthfuls, occasionally putting some dishes Xia Nuannuan liked into her bowl.

……

……

With Qin Tian, such a powerful combatant, the table full of good wine and dishes was not wasted at all.

After eating and drinking, Qin Tian, who was preparing to help clean up, was chased to the living room by Xia Nuannuan, while she cleaned up the mess with her mother and grandmother.

Qin Tian sat on the sofa in the living room, accompanying his father-in-law and grandfather to drink tea and chat.

After the three hardworking women finished their work and came over, everyone started to eat the cake.

They were already very full from the meal, but the high-priced custom-made cake was indeed delicious, so they ate quite a bit.

After the best of the remaining half of the cake was packed up by Su Xia, she asked Qin Tian to take it back to his mother later.

"Brother, can you help me move this to my room?"

Xia Nuannuan stood beside the large cardboard box and requested.

"Alright, I'll do it!"

Qin Tian responded, walked over, moved the box, and followed her into the room.

Following Xia Nuannuan's instructions, he put down the box full of gifts.

Just as he stood up straight, he was hugged around the waist by Xia Nuannuan from behind, and a very comfortable pressure came from his back.

At this moment, through the corner of his eye, he noticed that the room door had actually been closed by this girl.

"Nuannuan?"

Qin Tian's Adam's apple bobbed, and he called out with a confused tone.

"Brother, don't move, let me hug you."

Xia Nuannuan said softly.

Qin Tian was speechless for a moment, and could only keep his body motionless.

In the living room, the elders also noticed the room door was closed.

"Is this kid floating? Why close the door just to move a box?"

Old Xia put down his teacup and said with displeasure, frowning.

The old man beside him glanced at him with a flat expression upon hearing this.

"They are a young couple, what's wrong with closing the door to say some whispers? What's it to you? Worrying blindly!"

"Dad is right."

Su Xia nodded in agreement with a gentle smile, looking at her husband to comfort him: "Don't worry, Xiao Qin isn't as messy as you think, maybe Nuannuan has something she wants to say to him."

"Hmm, I saw Nuannuan close the door."

Grandma also said.

Old Xia looked at the three closest people with a speechless face, wanting to say something but stopping, and finally picked up his teacup and took a sip, suppressing the complaints and grievances in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 330 =====
