198: Chapter 198 Is Qin Xun's mother targeting me?

"Scab! Shameful!"

Xia Ning stood to one side, looking solemn, staring coldly at Qin Xun on the sofa.

Suddenly!

She saw Qin Xun flip up from the sofa, a large hand lunging toward her, scaring her into backing away hurriedly.

She couldn't dodge Qin Xun's attack; he grabbed her arm and threw her onto the sofa.

Xia Ning lay sideways on the sofa, her face full of terror.

"What are you doing?"

But she saw Qin Xun say nothing; he crouched by her feet, roughly took off her shoes, and pulled off her socks.

He lifted her foot and took a careful look.

Qin Xun looked up, staring at her, a hint of a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

"Xia Ning, your foot is healed!"

"It's not inflamed at all."

"You ruined my temporary girlfriend, don't you have to compensate me with one?"

Xia Ning was both shy and anxious, wanting to pull her foot back, but she couldn't overcome Qin Xun's hands.

"You... you grabbed the wrong foot!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it.

Qin Xun put down that foot and very skillfully stripped her other foot bare as well, looking down at the sole.

"Hey! This foot is fine too!"

Xia Ning's face turned bright red. She looked up at the ceiling, thinking that the surveillance camera must have recorded a video, and wondering if she should report Qin Xun for indecent assault.

She glared at her feet and said angrily,

"I don't believe that if you don't bring a girlfriend home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, your mother will actually kill you."

Qin Xun sighed.

"She won't kill me, but she'll beat me half to death."

At this moment, the phone rang.

Xia Ning picked up the phone to look; it was Qin Xun's phone, and the contact name was [Empress Dowager].

She kicked Qin Xun's hands away hard and said unpleasantly,

"Your mom!"

Qin Xun's eyes widened, and he looked at Xia Ning in surprise.

"Are you cursing at me?"

Xia Ning was so angry she laughed.

"Your mom's!"

Qin Xun raised an eyebrow.

"Are you really going to keep going?"

Xia Ning shoved the phone into Qin Xun's face.

"Isn't it your mom's?"

Qin Xun: "..."

He took the phone and said softly,

"It's mine, it's my mom's."

Xia Ning snorted coldly, silently mouthing "Your mom's."

Qin Xun: "???"

He couldn't be bothered to deal with Xia Ning anymore, stood up to answer the phone, hesitated for a moment, then looked down and said to Xia Ning.

"I'm turning on the speakerphone. Listen to my mom's style and see if I'll die if I don't bring a girlfriend home."

Once connected.

Qin Xun called out softly,

"Mom."

From the other end of the phone came a barrage of words.

"Are you bringing a girlfriend home for the Mid-Autumn Festival or not?"

Qin Xun looked down at Xia Ning on the sofa, saw her look up and glare, and answered helplessly,

"No."

Qin Xun's mom loudly questioned.

"Why aren't you bringing one?"

Qin Xun's voice was even quieter.

"I have no one to bring."

"Women nowadays are as clever as monkeys; it's not that easy to bring one home."

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment. Qin Xun knew this was the calm before the storm and quickly held the phone further away.

"What do you mean it's not easy?"

"In all these years, which year have the young men in the village not brought girlfriends home?"

"Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense."

"I've attended so many wedding banquets; I am the one who knows best how many people in the village the same age as you have gotten married."

"Everyone in the village thinks there is something wrong with your health."

"Sometimes look for the reasons within yourself. It's been so many years; have you seriously looked for a girlfriend? Have you tried talking to girls more?"

"Okay?"

"So many young men in the village are married; I'm really going crazy!"

"Don't think I don't know that you have some fame on the internet now. Are you trying to learn from those scumbags, flirting everywhere but not getting married?"

"No way!"

Qin Xun was stunned, his expression ugly.

Xia Ning looked up at Qin Xun, suppressing a smile.

She acknowledged the combat power of Qin Xun's mother.

Suddenly.

She heard Qin Xun's mom speaking earnestly again.

"People with more lively personalities had puppy love in middle school; of course, that's not right."

"For those a bit slower, how about it, you should have had a crush on a girl in high school, right!"

"At the very least, in college, your dad and I gave you a dating fund. Did you use it all to top up games?"

Qin Xun answered softly.

"I also topped up some internet fees."

Qin Xun's mom's voice grew louder.

"What did you say?"

Qin Xun: "Nothing."

Xia Ning lowered her head, wanting to laugh.

Qin Xun's mom's voice came again.

"As a physically and mentally healthy person, falling in love at 18 is normal, right!"

"If you haven't fallen in love by 19, are you missing a screw in your head?"

"If you haven't dated by 20, is your psychology twisted?"

"If you haven't fallen in love by 21, are you seriously ill?"

Qin Xun sighed deeply and asked softly,

"Then what about 24?"

Qin Xun's mom's voice rose several notches.

"What?"

"You still want to drag it out to 24?"

"If you haven't dated by 24, I'll kick you out of the house directly; go become a monk on the mountain!"

Xia Ning looked up at Qin Xun, the smile on her face disappearing.

Is this hinting at me?

Missing a screw in the head, psychology twisted, seriously ill, and going to be kicked out of the house?

At this moment.

Qin Xun's mom's voice rang out again.

"You hurry back!"

"You don't take the matter of finding a girlfriend to heart, I'll arrange it for you!"

After saying that, she hung up!

Qin Xun heard the last sentence and frowned slightly.

What does this mean?

Arranging a blind date for me?

...

In the evening.

Qin Xun added Ye Lan on WeChat using her phone number and sent an address.

[Ms. Ye Lan, emergency in the martial world, I'm counting on you!]

Half an hour passed.

Ye Lan replied.

[Mission accomplished!]

...

The next day.

Friday, Mid-Autumn Festival.

There is only one flight from Haicheng to Shian at 8:30 in the morning.

Qin Xun got up early, walked downstairs with his bag, crossed the living room, and found Xia Ning already dressed neatly and sitting on the sofa, with a suitcase placed beside the coffee table.

He was very pleasantly surprised.

"Xiao Xia, have you agreed to be my girlfriend?"

Xia Ning looked up and stared at him coldly.

Qin Xun quickly corrected himself, saying,

"You agreed to play the role of my girlfriend?"

Xia Ning sneered.

"I'm going to Modu to see my dad."

Qin Xun did some quick mental math.

"Your dad was detained for soliciting prostitutes, he shouldn't have been released yet, right?"

Xia Ning: "..."

She thought of her uncle, Xia Shuhao, feeling a bit nervous, almost slipping up again.

She said coldly,

"That's none of your business."

Qin Xun shook his head, walked out, and said goodbye to Xia Ning.

"I wish you... a safe journey."

Xia Ning: "???"

She watched Qin Xun's back and called out to him.

"Qin Xun!"

Qin Xun turned his head and smiled.

"Have you changed your mind?"

Xia Ning didn't answer; she picked up her phone and transferred 50,000 yuan to him.

Qin Xun heard the phone notification, took it out, and looked.

"Why are you giving me 50,000 yuan?"

"That performance bonus was yours to begin with; you don't need to be polite with me and play this game of benefit transfer."

Xia Ning waved her hand.

"This is the 50,000 yuan labor fee Song Ying gave you when you had her release the 'I Endorse Myself' company promotional advertisement earlier."

"I forgot about it before, just remembered."

Qin Xun was stunned.

He recalled scene after scene of humiliation.

Borrowing money from a girl like Xia Ning, and twice at that.

Crouching behind the door to pick up money people shoved in.

Taking photos to scam his mom for a dating fund.

Not daring to spend more than 15 yuan on lunch.

He turned around and looked at Xia Ning.

"You forgot?"

"Do you think I believe that?"

Xia Ning swallowed a mouthful of saliva, just about to say that as an apology, she would simply accompany him home.

Before the words could come out, she saw Qin Xun rush toward the fish tank in the living room.

"Xiao Hei, your time has come!"

"Don't blame me for being heartless, it's your mother who made a mistake!"
