Chapter 430

Xia Nuannuan's family hadn't returned yet, so Qin Tian took his cousins to the Yucheng Mall first.

Many shops in the mall were already open, especially the snack bars and milk tea shops outside, which were being patronized by many young people.

Tang Wen went to buy three cups of milk tea, while Qin Tian and his cousin bought some stir-fried chestnuts and meat skewers.

Afterward, the three of them entered the mall while eating.

They took the elevator to the third floor, the women's clothing area, where his mother's clothing store had already been opened by the manager as arranged.

"Nuan Nuan Cabin? Brother Tian, Auntie really has her heart set on this future daughter-in-law, naming the clothing store after her?"

Tang Wen said with surprise after seeing the shop name.

Qin Tian threw the wooden skewer into the trash can and smiled, "Let's go, let's go inside and take a look."

The three entered the shop, and a middle-aged woman immediately greeted them with a warm smile.

"Young Boss, you're here!"

The woman was the manager his mother had hired for the shop; she had years of experience in clothing sales, was very serious and responsible, and managed the shop's business in an orderly fashion.

Before the New Year, when paying the last month's salary, his mother had even given her a big red envelope.

"Mm, these are my cousins. I brought them here to hang out and stopped by to take a look."

Qin Tian explained with a smile, looked around, and asked, "How's business today? Is it just you working, Sister Fan?"

"Mm, today it's mostly young people here to hang out and watch movies; not many people are buying clothes. I can handle it, so I didn't ask the others to come."

The woman replied with a gentle smile.

"Alright, then thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, and I had nothing to do at home today anyway."

"Brother Tian, the clothes in this shop feel really good, very fashionable, and the material is great too!"

Tang Wen picked up a sweater to examine it and praised it with a smile.

"I have a partnership with a clothing company in Jiangcheng, and basically everything in this shop is from that company. They're all good. Is there anything you like? I'll give it to you as a New Year's gift."

Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Forget it, I have plenty of clothes."

Tang Wen shook her head and declined, then added, "You have a partnership with a clothing company, Brother? That sounds so impressive."

Tang Heng also looked at him with curiosity.

"Mm, I know a little about clothing design, and I sold a few sketches to that company."

Qin Tian raised his finger and pointed to a blue long dress on the wall, saying, "Look, that dress was the first one I designed. It sold quite well during the summer."

After the two looked at the dress, their eyes widened in astonishment.

"Really? Younger brother, did you really design this? Don't lie to me!"

Tang Heng confirmed with disbelief.

Qin Tian nodded with a smile.

"This was indeed designed by the Young Boss. Since the weather is so cold now, the shop mainly sells autumn and winter clothes, but occasionally customers still buy this dress, so it's still hanging here."

Sister Fan, who was on the side, smiled and helped confirm it.

Of course, the shop assistants knew about this; the boss would talk about it from time to time, and whenever she talked about her son, she always had a proud and happy smile, which made the assistants very envious.

"Younger brother, how did you do it?"

Tang Heng had an expression of disbelief.

"Brother Heng, that's why I said earlier that it's even harder for you to rely on talent!"

Tang Wen raised her hand and patted his shoulder, speaking in the tone of a little adult.

"The design sketch for that dress was drawn using Nuan Nuan as a model, and the original sketch is still in her hands; she has it collected."

Qin Tian said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and saw the fullness of envy in each other's eyes.

"Stop, stop, stop, younger brother, please don't say any more. If you keep talking, I'm really going to be sour to death."

Tang Heng raised his hand in a stop gesture and pleaded with a bitter face.

"Sigh, Brother Heng looks like the kind of boy at school who is unloved by anyone. How pitiful!"

Tang Wen shook her head and sighed, expressing her pity for him.

"Little Mosquito!!!"

Tang Heng gritted his teeth and immediately put her in a headlock.

"I was just accidentally stating the facts, don't get so angry!"

"Still talking!"

"Ah... I can't breathe, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Tang Wen tapped his arm quickly with her small hand, apologizing and admitting her mistake.

"Are you still going to talk?"

"I was wrong, I won't talk anymore."

"Hmph!"

Tang Heng let her go indignantly.

Tang Wen nimbly ran behind Qin Tian to hide and whispered, "Brother Tian, jealousy has already made him unrecognizable."

"Dead mosquito, you're still talking!"

Tang Heng pretended to be angry and made a move to step forward.

Tang Wen hid herself behind Qin Tian, poked her head out, and stuck her tongue out at him to make a face.

"Alright, alright, stop messing around!"

Qin Tian couldn't help but open his arms to separate the two and asked, "Wenwen, do you really not want any clothes?"

"Mm... let's forget it this time. When summer comes this year, if you design any more beautiful dresses, Brother, can you mail me one?"

"That's no problem."

"Hee hee... that's great!"

Afterward, they looked around the shop for a while longer, and after Qin Tian said goodbye to Sister Fan, the three left the shop and headed upstairs.

After playing at the skating rink for a while and preparing to go to the arcade to play, Xia Nuannuan called.

"Brother, we're back. Where are you?"

"We're at the mall. Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No, no, we're still on the highway. You guys go play; I'll have my dad drop me off at the mall entrance in a bit, and I'll come up to find you."

"That works too, I'll wait for you!"

"Mm-hmm, you guys go play, I'll hang up first."

"Good!"

After saying that, Xia Nuannuan hung up the phone.

"Brother Tian, how much longer until sister-in-law arrives?"

Tang Wen asked with excitement.

"She's already on the highway, should be about an hour!"

Qin Tian replied with a smile and suggested, "Don't call her sister-in-law later, call her Sister Nuan Nuan. She's thin-skinned and gets shy easily, and the title 'sister-in-law' makes people sound old."

"Hee hee... I understand, then I'll call her Sister Nuan Nuan!"

Tang Wen nodded in agreement with a jumpy expression.

Qin Tian smiled, raised his hand, and patted her little head.

After playing a round at the arcade upstairs, they received another call from Xia Nuannuan.

A few minutes later, Xia Nuannuan appeared at the entrance of the arcade.

"Nuan Nuan!"

Qin Tian waved and called out.

Xia Nuannuan looked toward the sound, a sweet and lovely smile blooming on her face, stunning everyone around.

Watching the girl walk straight toward the handsome boy, many young men seemed to hear the sound of their own hearts breaking.

"Brother!"

Xia Nuannuan walked up to Qin Tian and looked at Tang Wen and Tang Heng beside him with a smile.

"This is my cousin Tang Wen, nicknamed Little Mosquito."

Qin Tian introduced his cousin first.

"Brother, the last part was unnecessary."

Tang Wen complained with a pout, then greeted Xia Nuannuan with a bright smile.

"Sister Nuan Nuan, finally met you in person, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

Xia Nuannuan responded happily.

"This is my second cousin from my uncle's side, and I have an eldest cousin too."

Qin Tian continued to introduce Tang Heng.

"Happy New Year, Second Cousin!"

Xia Nuannuan greeted him hurriedly.

"Why does that sound a bit weird!"

Tang Heng scratched his head, grinned, and said, "Forget it, Happy New Year, sister-in-law. Let me ask, do you have any single girlfriends?"

"Ah?"

Xia Nuannuan was stunned for a moment.

"Sister Nuan Nuan, don't pay attention to him. He's been single for too long and has gone crazy."

Tang Wen leaned into her ear and whispered, covering her mouth with her hand.

Xia Nuannuan blinked blankly.
