Chapter 477: Backstabbed by Lao Qin

The food at the restaurant was indeed excellent, and all three ate to their heart's content.

As they were preparing to leave, the manager walked over, asking about their dining experience and the taste of the dishes with an enthusiastic smile.

Qin Tian and the other two naturally gave positive reviews.

Hearing this, the manager's smile became even brighter, and he personally sent them out of the shop.

"Walk slowly, three, welcome to visit again."

"Thank you."

Qin Hongwen thanked him.

"It is we who should say thank you."

The manager shook his head with a smile.

"I should also say a thank you to you guys!"

The female clerk also thanked them gratefully.

"Goodbye!"

Xia Nuannuan held Qin Tian's arm and waved goodbye to the female clerk with a sweet smile.

"Bye-bye!"

The female clerk waved back hurriedly.

Afterward, the three left the restaurant and drove away.

First, they drove Qin Hongwen to the hotel where he was staying.

On the way, Xia Nuannuan also tried to suggest that Qin Hongwen take his luggage from the hotel and go home to sleep.

However, Qin Hongwen refused with a smile directly.

He naturally wanted to repair the relationship with his son, but he also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, and he was very clear about the principle of "haste makes waste."

The current situation was already moving in a good direction, and he had to be steady step by step.

"Uncle Qin, you can really stay at home, we are staying at school today."

Xia Nuannuan continued to invite.

"Forget it."

Qin Hongwen still refused with a smile, saying: "I'm used to staying in hotels on business trips, and a few colleagues will be at that hotel, so it's convenient to go to the meeting together."

"Like that... then okay!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded and didn't continue to insist.

Before long, the car drove to the entrance of the hotel where Qin Hongwen was staying.

"Then I'm going, you guys go back to school and rest early."

Qin Hongwen said with a smile.

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Qin!"

Xia Nuannuan said goodbye with a smile.

"Goodbye!"

Qin Hongwen smiled, glanced at his son in the driver's seat, and opened the door to get out.

Xia Nuannuan lowered the car window on her side.

"There's a lot of traffic at this time, drive slowly!"

Qin Hongwen leaned over and urged.

Qin Tian looked ahead and didn't reply.

"Don't worry, Uncle Qin, I will remind him."

Xia Nuannuan said with a sweet smile.

Qin Hongwen nodded and said: "Then when you arrive at school, send me a message."

"Okay!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded in agreement.

During

"Go on!"

Qin Hongwen waved his hand with a smile.

"Goodbye, Uncle Qin. You're tired today too, so get some rest early!"

"Alright!"

……

……

On the way back to school, Xia Nuannuan hummed along to the song playing on the car's audio system.

"Why are you so happy?"

Qin Tian tilted his head to look at her, asking a question he already knew the answer to with a hint of amusement.

"Hee hee... I'm just really happy!"

Xia Nuannuan nodded with her eyebrows curved into crescents.

Qin Tian pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Xia Nuannuan stared at him with her expressive, beautiful eyes, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Brother, Uncle Qin is really a good person, and he's really so much like you."

"How is he like me? I don't think so."

Qin Tian denied it with a calm expression.

"Really, when you both stepped in to teach those three bad guys a lesson earlier, the people around were saying it too; they all guessed right away that you were father and son."

Xia Nuannuan argued earnestly, counting on her fingers as she said, "Look, your facial contours are very similar, you're both so handsome, and you're both talented in both literature and martial arts!"

"Your mouth is so sweet, did you smear honey on it? Let me taste it later."

Qin Tian couldn't help but be amused, teasing her with a chuckle.

Xia Nuannuan's pretty face flushed red, and she rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "Please, I'm talking to you about something serious!"

"I'm talking about something serious too!"

Qin Tian grinned.

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you."

Xia Nuannuan turned her head away, her face flushed.

"Alright, alright, my mistake."

Qin Tian admitted his fault with a smile, then said in a serious tone, "Nuannuan, I know you mean well, but this matter isn't that simple."

Xia Nuannuan was silent for a while, then asked cautiously, "Brother, am I overstepping, and shouldn't have gotten involved?"

Qin Tian looked at her, smiled, and shook his head: "No, that's not what I meant."

"Really?"

Xia Nuannuan was half-doubting, still feeling a bit nervous inside.

She truly wanted to help, but at the same time, she valued Qin Tian's thoughts even more.

If Qin Tian were sensitive about this matter and didn't want her to get involved, she would certainly comply.

"Really. With you by my side, at least it won't be too awkward when I'm with him!"

Qin Tian said with a firm tone.

"That's good then."

Xia Nuannuan felt a sense of relief wash over her.

"It's just... the relationship between him and me is unlikely to be resolved as easily as you hope."

"Brother, I understand everything, and I didn't think this would be simple."

"As long as you understand. I don't want you to be disappointed when the time comes."

"I won't, I won't. I just believe that one day you, Uncle Qin, and Aunt Tang will be reunited, so I just wanted to do what I could to make that day come sooner."

"What a silly girl!"

Qin Tian was rendered speechless with a laugh.

"I'm not silly."

Xia Nuannuan pouted.

……

……

In the hotel room, Qin Hongwen was standing by the window, holding his phone and making a call.

"We are really lucky to have met a daughter-in-law like Nuan Nuan."

"Right?"

Tang Xiuxia's voice came from the other end of the phone, echoing his sentiment.

"You don't know, when Xiao Tian first brought Nuan Nuan over, I took a liking to that girl the moment I saw her. I thought to myself, she must be my daughter-in-law; I won't accept anyone else."

"Mm, she really is a good child, her personality is just too good."

"And she's pretty, has a great figure, and her family background is beyond reproach. Our son is quite capable too."

"Yes."

Qin Hongwen couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly thinking of something, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak up.

"There's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"When I went to their place today, I ran into a girl moving in. She said she bought the apartment upstairs. Nuan Nuan said that girl likes Xiao Tian."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other end of the line fell into a brief silence.

"Hello?"

"Are you telling the truth?"

Tang Xiuxia's tone became extremely serious and stern.

"It's true."

Qin Hongwen nodded, suddenly regretting having brought it up.

"Is that girl pretty?"

"Hmm... I suppose she's pretty, but she definitely can't compare to Nuan Nuan."

"That brat! No, no, I have to call him and scold him. He has a girlfriend like Nuan Nuan and still dares to attract bees and butterflies? It's making me so angry! I'm hanging up now!"

"No, no, don't be in such a rush!"

Qin Hongwen quickly spoke up to stop her, saying, "They are still driving back on the road, and Nuan Nuan is right there. It's not appropriate for you to call now."

"That's true!"

"And if you call, Xiao Tian will definitely know it was me who told you. The relationship has only just started to thaw..."
