Chapter 423: I'll do it myself

After stepping out of the elevator, Qin Tian saw that the door to Xia Nuannuan's home was half-open.

Even from a distance, he could hear the laughter coming from inside.

A hint of envy flashed in his eyes, a warm smile hung on his handsome face, and he walked over.

"Nuannuan!"

As he approached the door, he called out inside.

"He's here, he's here, Brother-in-law is here. Yaxin, hurry, hurry, let's go get the red envelopes."

Xia Xue's excited voice came through.

Immediately after, Qin Tian saw this girl pulling Xia Yaxin, running to the entrance happily.

"Brother-in-law, Happy New Year!!"

Xia Xue shouted loudly with a smile, blinking her big eyes at him, her face practically screaming "Give me the red envelope."

Beside her, Xia Yaxin blushed and followed suit in a low voice.

"Happy New Year, Brother-in-law!"

"Happy New Year, you're quite proactive!"

Qin Tian looked at them with a laugh and reached into his pocket.

"That's a must!"

Xia Xue's eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

Qin Tian took out a few prepared New Year red envelopes and handed one to Xia Xue first.

"Thank you, Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law is generous!"

Xia Xue took the red envelope with a beaming face, put her hands together, and bowed to thank him.

Through this action, she also took the opportunity to feel the thickness of the red envelope, so happy that her eyes were almost squinted shut.

"Here, Yaxin, yours."

Qin Tian took another one and handed it to Xia Yaxin.

"No need, no need, I can't accept it."

Xia Yaxin waved her hand in a flustered manner to decline.

Brother-in-law helping her with tutoring and improving her grades already made her very grateful, and Brother-in-law was still just a student, so she couldn't accept this red envelope.

"Take it, go buy some study materials and tools."

Qin Tian smiled and made a gesture to stuff the red envelope into her hand.

However, Xia Yaxin took a step back to dodge, put her hands behind her back, and shook her head vigorously to indicate she wouldn't accept it.

"Nuannuan."

Qin Tian looked helplessly at Xia Nuannuan, who was walking over from behind.

Xia Nuannuan walked up with a smile, took the red envelope from his hand with one hand, took Xia Yaxin's hand with the other, and placed the red envelope into her hand.

"Be good, take it!"

"Sister Nuannuan, I really can't accept it, Dad will scold me."

Xia Yaxin said with a bitter face.

"Yaxin, you're really overthinking it. We've already called him brother-in-law, so isn't it normal to receive a New Year red envelope? It's fine, Brother-in-law doesn't lack this money."

Xia Xue persuaded her with a smile.

If she were the only one receiving it, she would feel embarrassed, so it was necessary to pull Xia Yaxin along.

"This..."

Xia Yaxin looked conflicted, not knowing what to do.

Xia Nuannuan leaned into her ear and whispered something, and only then did Xia Yaxin nod slightly and accept the red envelope.

Afterwards, the group entered the house and came to the living room.

Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle Xia, Third Uncle, Aunt Su...

Qin Tian had a hearty, sunny smile on his face and paid New Year's visits to the elders one by one.

The elders nodded in response with smiles, then one after another took out the red envelopes they had prepared.

Only then did Qin Tian guess what Xia Nuannuan had just said; it must have been that the elders had all prepared red envelopes for him, so she should accept them with peace of mind.

Without being too pretentious, Qin Tian accepted the Xia family elders' good intentions.

The elders were very satisfied with this golden son-in-law, and the red envelopes they gave were not thin.

His pockets clearly couldn't hold them, so he could only let Xia Nuannuan collect them for him first and put them in her room.

Finally, Qin Tian looked toward Xia Junjie, who was sitting there cracking melon seeds.

He naturally had a red envelope prepared for this little brother too.

However, this little brother had no intention of paying a New Year's visit, so he didn't feel comfortable giving it directly.

"Junjie, can't you see people? Don't you know manners?"

His father frowned and scolded.

Xia Junjie still feared his father, so after glancing at Qin Tian, he gave a very perfunctory "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year!"

Qin Tian responded with a smile and reached into his pocket for the red envelope.

He was an adult and didn't need to be serious with a rebellious bear child.

"Brother-in-law, he's so perfunctory, don't give it to him!"

Xia Xue leaned into his ear and whispered.

Qin Tian just smiled and walked up to hand the red envelope to Xia Junjie.

"There's really a red envelope?"

Xia Junjie was stunned, subconsciously wanting to refuse, but after seeing the solid thickness of the red envelope out of the corner of his eye, he accepted it very honestly.

"Th-thank you."

He thanked him with an unnatural expression and casually stuffed the red envelope into his jacket pocket.

"Little Qin, come sit and have some tea."

The old man beckoned with a chuckle.

"Okay!"

Qin Tian responded and went over to sit next to the old man.

Third Uncle took a paper cup and poured him a cup of tea. Qin Tian accepted it with both hands, feeling flattered.

"Come, come, eat some of this, it's something your grandma made herself, it's delicious!"

The old man took a piece of rice candy and handed it to him.

"Grandma made it."

Qin Tian accepted it with a look of surprise, took a bite to taste it, and gave a thumbs up to Grandma, who was sitting not far away.

"Grandma, this is really delicious!"

"Then eat more."

Grandma smiled until her teeth were invisible.

After drinking tea and chatting for half an hour, Qin Tian said goodbye.

There were many people paying New Year's visits on the first day, especially in a large family like the Xia family, so it wasn't good for him to stay for a long time.

After the elders tried to persuade him to stay a couple of times, they didn't force him too much.

"Brother, do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

Xia Nuannuan saw him out, handed him the red envelope she had helped collect, and asked with a sweet smile.

"Nothing much, why?"

Qin Tian smiled.

"We're planning to go see a movie this afternoon, to watch all the movies for the Spring Festival season. Why don't you come with us?"

Xia Nuannuan invited him.

"Sure, then call me before you leave, and I'll drive over."

Qin Tian agreed readily.

"Mm-hmm!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded repeatedly.

Qin Tian looked behind her and said with a playful smile, "Is there a first kiss of the New Year?"

Xia Nuannuan froze when she heard this, then a blush flew across her pretty face, and she gave him a pair of eye rolls in embarrassment.

"Forget it, it was you who took the initiative yesterday, so I'll do it myself today!"

After Qin Tian finished speaking, before she could react, he stepped forward, wrapped one arm around her waist, and lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.

"Wow, Yaxin, come look, Sister Nuannuan and Brother-in-law are kissing again."

Xia Xue's excited voice suddenly sounded.

Xia Nuannuan's closed eyes opened instantly, she pushed Qin Tian away in a panic, turned her head, and shouted in embarrassment and annoyance, "Xiaoxue, shut up!"

Xia Xue stuck out her tongue, made a face, and ran back to the living room.

"Seriously, it's all your fault!"

Xia Nuannuan glared at Qin Tian, annoyed.

Qin Tian shrugged with a cheeky grin and teased, "Why don't you just ignore her? It's been a year, and you're still shy?"

"Hurry up and go, hurry up and go!"

Xia Nuannuan pushed him out the door with a red face.

"I'm off, call me."

Qin Tian made a gesture of making a phone call and turned to leave with a laugh. ===== CHAPTER 424 =====
