Chapter 387: I'll chop off his dog head

"Mom, calm down, let's calm down first."

Qin Tian said with a sheepish smile, trying to appease her, while feeling panicked inside.

"I can't calm down!"

Tang Xiuxia glared at him, raised her empty left index finger, pointed at the flowers and gift box in her son's hands, and ordered, "Put those things down first. You're still holding them—what are you trying to do?"

"Oh, oh, right, calm down, don't get angry!"

Qin Tian responded while hurriedly putting the items on the floor, then straightened his back and sat up straight.

"Pfft!"

Beside him, Xia Nuannuan couldn't help but laugh out loud seeing him like this.

The three parents looked at her with astonishment upon hearing the laughter.

"Nuannuan, don't be anxious, don't be angry. I will definitely make this brat confess everything clearly. If he really dares to do anything to let you down, you don't need to do anything—I'll chop off his dog head myself!"

Tang Xiuxia thought Xia Nuannuan was laughing out of anger and immediately stated her position seriously.

The solemn tone and serious expression made no one doubt she could actually do it.

Qin Tian rolled his eyes, speechless, with countless complaints he wanted to voice.

This was his own mother; why couldn't she have a little more trust!

He didn't know that Tang Xiuxia certainly trusted him; this behavior was more than half intentional.

Because of this, Lao Xia's expression across from them softened significantly.

As for Su Xia, she had felt from the beginning that there was something fishy about this, so she waited quietly for Qin Tian to explain.

Xia Nuannuan was amused again by her future mother-in-law's words. She waved her left hand and finally managed to suppress her laughter, saying, "Auntie, it's not like that. You misunderstood; I'm not angry."

"Huh? Not angry?"

Tang Xiuxia was stunned.

Xia Nuannuan nodded, unable to hold back her smile.

"Nuannuan, do you know who this Ms. Lu is?"

Su Xia asked curiously.

"Mm, if I'm not mistaken."

Xia Nuannuan responded, glanced at Qin Tian beside her, and added, "There was indeed a girl named Lu Yaoyao who was pursuing Brother, but Brother has already clearly rejected her. That girl... how should I put it, she has quite a personality."

"Is she from your school too?"

Su Xia asked again.

"No."

Xia Nuannuan shook her head.

Hearing this, Tang Xiuxia and Xia Zhengping frowned slightly.

"You brat, you've got some skills, hooking up with someone outside of school, huh?"

Tang Xiuxia glared at her son, pretending to be furious.

"Mom, what are you talking about!"

Qin Tian smiled bitterly and explained, "I'm really not close to that girl. We've only met twice in total. She found my information by looking me up through my license plate number and then came to find me. I didn't even know who she was before that."

"She even went to your school?"

Tang Xiuxia asked, frowning.

"The first time was in the morning; she drove to their dormitory building and caused quite a scene. Later, when Brother's internet cafe branch opened, she brought friends to show support, and we played a few games together."

Xia Nuannuan replied with a smile on her pretty face, taking over the conversation.

"And you played games together? Nuannuan, what are you thinking? Isn't your heart a bit too big?"

Lao Xia looked at his daughter in confusion, completely failing to understand her actions.

He and his wife were very clear about how much his daughter valued Qin Tian.

Logically speaking, his daughter should never have let such a love rival get close to Qin Tian, so why were they playing games together?

"Dad, there are plenty of girls who like him. This kind of thing can't be completely prevented, and besides, I trust Brother!"

Xia Nuannuan said with a sweet smile.

"What do you mean 'plenty of girls like him'? I..."

"Alright, Lao Xia, don't speak for a moment."

Su Xia interrupted her husband, who was about to say something else, and looked at Qin Tian with a gentle smile, asking, "Xiao Qin, did you clearly reject that girl?"

"Yes!"

Qin Tian nodded heavily.

"He even killed that girl many times in the game; it was too cruel. We couldn't bear to watch."

Xia Nuannuan added with a smile.

"And then? That girl wasn't angry?"

Su Xia asked in surprise.

"No, she even said Brother is very good at gaming, and she just likes boys who are good at gaming."

Xia Nuannuan said with a smile.

"Good grief, looks like she's not simple!"

Su Xia muttered thoughtfully, then asked, "How old is this girl?"

"I don't know, she looks about our age."

Xia Nuannuan replied.

Su Xia nodded slightly and looked outside the room.

"When we came over just now, didn't you see her?"

"No."

"Then Nuannuan, do you think these flowers and the peace apple were really sent by her?"

"Mm... I think it's a bit strange!"

"How so?"

Tang Xiuxia looked at her in confusion.

"She knows that doing this will only make Brother dislike her more, so she shouldn't have done it."

Xia Nuannuan said calmly, sharing her thoughts.

Su Xia looked at her daughter with a smile, her eyes full of gratification.

In her view, her daughter had really grown up a lot.

"Then what's going on with these flowers and the peace apple? Could there be another Ms. Lu?"

Lao Xia looked at Qin Tian with an inquiring gaze.

"No, no, absolutely not."

Qin Tian denied it decisively and loudly, shaking his head like a rattle.

……

……

Meanwhile, in the room across the hall.

Watching Zheng Ji return to his seat and pick up his chopsticks to continue eating calmly, Wang Chao and the others looked at each other, all feeling bewildered.

"Why were you gone so long? Brother Ji, you didn't go to piss, did you?"

The young man sitting next to Zheng Ji asked with a strange smile.

"None of your business?"

Zheng Ji glanced at him indifferently and asked back with a bad tone.

"Fine, none of my business. I asked for it, okay?"

The young man's smile faded, he took a gulp of his drink, and said no more.

"Alright, don't start arguing again, eat, eat."

Wang Chao smiled and smoothed things over.

The phone lying to the side suddenly pinged, and he hurriedly picked it up to take a look.

It was a message from his cousin Wang Hao, a phone number made up of a string of digits.

It was none other than Qin Tian's.

Just now, when Zheng Ji was slow to return, Wang Chao felt something was wrong and messaged his cousin to ask for Qin Tian's phone number.

Wang Chao copied the phone number, pasted it as the sender, and began to edit a text message.

"Brother Chao, who are you messaging?"

A girl asked.

"A girl I hooked up with a while ago. You all almost have partners, and now even Yaoyao has a target, I can't stay single forever, right?"

Wang Chao replied with a smile.

"Yo-ho, Brother Chao, listening to you, you didn't like Yaoyao before, did you?"

The girl teased with a meaningful smile.

Zheng Ji, who was burying his head in his food, looked up at Wang Chao upon hearing this.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. Lu Yaoyao is not my type at all, okay? I like girls who are a bit more gentle."

Wang Chao denied it calmly.

"Are you saying our Yaoyao isn't gentle?"

"Do you have some misunderstanding of the word 'gentle'?"

"Hahaha..."

At the table, everyone except Zheng Ji burst into laughter. ===== CHAPTER 388 =====
