225 Birthday Gift

directly stated his intentions without beating around the bush.Xia Tian appreciated straightforwardness, so he liked Huang Anping a bit more as a result. He nodded and agreed: "Alright then, let's go...Chapter 225 Birthday Gift WuYou Chinese Network

Summer and Sun XinXin once again came to the pedestrian street, saying they were buying gifts for Zhao QingQing, but it was more about accompanying Sun XinXin while shopping.

The last time Sun XinXin went shopping with Summer, she only looked around without purchasing anything. This time, however, she bought two dresses, a bag, and even a necklace. They had been walking until noon when Leng BingBing called to ask if Zhao QingQing's gift was purchased yet.

"Sis Policewoman," Summer quickly assured her over the phone, "I'm at the pedestrian street right now, about to buy something for Zhao QingQing!"

"What kind of gift are you planning to buy" Leng BingBing asked.

"How about a dress What do you think" Summer asked after looking at the dresses Sun XinXin had bought.

"QingQing doesn't like wearing dresses," Leng BingBing said with some exasperation.

"What about a bag then" Summer inquired further.

"QingQing also doesn’t like bags," Leng BingBing sounded even more unhappy.

"How about a necklace If that’s not good, I could get her a ring!" Summer was starting to feel frustrated. Why did Zhao QingQing dislike everything

"QingQing doesn’t like wearing jewelry either," Leng BingBing sounded annoyed. "Have you been seriously looking for something or what" she asked. "It’s been half a day and you still haven’t bought anything!"

"Sis Policewoman's wife Zhao Qingqing is so strange. Why doesn't she like the things that other girls enjoy" Xia Tian also complained.

"Qingqing's personality has always been a bit boyish. How many girls think about learning martial arts all day long like her" replied Leng Bingbing in an annoyed tone.

“Learn martial arts” Xia Tian immediately had an idea. "Sis Policewoman, how about I give her a manual of martial arts techniques"

"What kind of era are we living in Where would there be manuals of martial arts techniques" Leng Bingbing said with annoyance.

“I can write one myself!” Xia Tian was quite confident about this idea.

Leng Bingbing was taken aback. She finally remembered that the stinky rogue had high-level martial arts skills and might indeed be able to come up with a manual of martial arts techniques.

"Can you really write a manual of martial arts techniques" Leng Bingging felt that, given Zhao Qingqing's obsession with martial arts, if Xia Tian could really give her such a manual, she should be very happy about it.

“Of course I can. Sis Policewoman’s wife, you can rest assured. I will go back and write one right away. If it doesn’t work out, the worst-case scenario is that I’ll suffer a little and take Zhao Qingqing as my concubine, which would definitely make her happy.” Xia Tian said quickly.

Take Zhao Qingqing as his concubine, with him suffering a loss

At this moment, Leng Bingbing once again felt the urge to strangle Xia Tian.

"Alright, do it as you say. Get ready quickly!" Leng Bingbing suppressed her impulse and said hurriedly before hanging up.

"Xin, we need to head back first. I have to spend some time writing a martial arts manual for Zhao Qingqing," Xia Tian said to Sun Xin after hanging up the phone.

Sun Xin didn’t object and they both returned to Scholarly Residence. After lunch, Xia Tian bought paper and pens and began his work on creating a martial arts manual.

This was not an easy task; it took him half a day to finish writing one. As for the name of the manual, after some thought, he decided to call it Female Beating Technique Manual. He had seen something called Self-Defense Techniques for Women online before, but his martial arts techniques were not meant for self-defense, they were designed for beating people up, so he named it Female Beating Technique.

The moment he finished binding the manual together, Leng Bingbing called and asked where he was.

Less than ten minutes later, Leng Bingbing’s car arrived at Scholarly Residence. Xia Tian then took his manual and got in her car, following her to the municipal government compound.

Leng Bingbing still wore casual clothes today: a white shirt with dark jeans, and heels as well, but this time she seemed to be considering Xia Tian’s feelings because her shoes were shorter than before. Even so, she was still taller than him and that pair of long legs made her stand out.

She drove the car into the municipal government compound and parked it in front of Building No.1. Then she led Xia Tian up to the third floor where they rang the doorbell at Room 301.

The one who opened the door was Zhao Qingqing, still wearing her sportswear without any effort to dress formally. She looked delighted when seeing Leng Bingbing: "Ice Cream Sister, you’re here!"

She then noticed Xia Tian and became even happier: "Wow! Master, you also came"

In between her excitement, she started gossiping: "Ice Cream Sister, why did you come with Master Ah! Ice Cream Sister, didn’t the playboy master really get to you"

"Qingqing, what are you saying Don't keep our guests waiting!" A reproving voice came from inside the room; it was a middle-aged beauty.

"Got it, Mom!" Zhao Qingqing replied. Then she bowed slightly to Xia Tian and giggled, "Master, Ice, come in!"

Leng Bingbing entered first, then greeted the middle-aged beauty who had spoken earlier: "Aunt Yu."

"Ice, sit down first." The middle-aged beauty invited her, "Uncle Zhao will be back soon. This young man here, is he your boyfriend"

"Aunt Yu, this is Xia Tian." Leng Bingbing neither confirmed nor denied it, "Xia Tian, this is Aunt Yu Yumei, she works at the First Affiliated Hospital."

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Yu," Xia Tian greeted her.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yu Yumei's eyes: "So this is that young man named Xia Tian. He looks good!"

Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but mutter in her heart, "Does Master qualify as looking good My mom really has poor taste."

"Ice, you two sit here for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and prepare," Yu Yumei smiled and walked into the kitchen.

Once she was out of earshot, Zhao Qingqing whispered, "Sis Ice, don't leave immediately after eating. I have plans."

Leng Bingbing understood right away: "Are you celebrating with friends outside"

"Yes, Sis Ice, you and Master must come too! We're going to the bar for drinks and dancing to celebrate my coming of age!" Zhao Qingqing spoke in an increasingly low voice so her mother wouldn't overhear.

"Let's talk after we eat." Ling Bingbing doesn't particularly like going to bars, but she also doesn't want to disappoint Zhao Qingqing too soon, so she gave a non-committal response.

The doorbell rang again and Zhao Qingqing rushed to open the door.

"Dad, you're back!" Zhao Qingqing exclaimed, then paused in surprise. "Uh, Dad, who's this person"

A handsome middle-aged man entered the house; he was none other than Zhao Qingqing's father, Zhao Bingliang, the Secretary of Jianghai City’s Communist Party Committee. Entering with Zhao Bingliang was a young man in his early twenties, nearly 1.8 meters tall, looking extraordinarily handsome and distinguished. However, for Zhao Qingqing, this person was quite unfamiliar, as she had never seen him before.

"Qingqing, don't be so impolite!" Zhao Bingliang frowned slightly. "This is your Mingxuan brother; you've forgotten about him"

"Mingxuan Brother Li Mingxuan" Zhao Qingqing was startled for a moment and stared at the young man for quite some time, then with an apologetic expression, she said, "Dad, I really can't recognize him. The last time I saw Mingxuan Brother, it felt like I was only five years old!"

"Qingqing, not knowing each other is fine; we can start getting to know each other again now." Li Mingxuan smiled gently and extended his hand towards Zhao Qingqing. "Hello, I'm Li Mingxuan."

"Uh, hello, I'm Zhao Qingqing." Zhao Qingqing felt a bit weird about this but still shook hands with Li Mingxuan. She was puzzled as to why her father would bring Li Mingxuan along

"Uncle Zhao," Ling Bingbing pulled Xia Tian up and greeted Zhao Bingliang.

"Bingbing, you're already here This young man must be Xia Tian" Zhao Bingliang nodded at Ling Bingbing before turning to Xia Tian.

"Yes, Uncle Zhao. He is Xia Tian." Ling Bingbing nodded in agreement.

"You're not a bad guy." Zhao Bingliang smiled and nodded at Xia Tian, but Xia Tian ignored him. He still remembered that Zhao Bingliang had called Leng Bingbing and asked her to agree to marry Lei Jun, so he couldn't stand Zhao Bingliang.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Bingliang's face, but it quickly disappeared: "Come, everyone please sit down. Bingbing, let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Li Mingxuan. Mingxuan, this is my niece, Leng Bingbing. You two should get to know each other."

Since Li Mingxuan saw Leng Bingbing, his eyes never left her. Only when Zhao Bingliang spoke did he realize how inappropriate it was for him to stare like that. Reluctantly, he pulled himself together, but clearly, Leng Bingbing's stunning appearance and figure had already made a deep impression on him.

"Miss Leng, nice to meet you." Li Mingxuan extended his hand with another charming smile.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Li.” However, Leng Bingbing did not extend her hand: “Sorry, I'm not used to shaking hands with people.”

"Oh, that's okay, everyone has their own habits." Li Mingxuan awkwardly retracted his hand and then turned his attention to Xia Tian. "And may I ask how you would like to be addressed"

“Xia Tian, the ‘summer’ in summer and winter, and the ‘heaven’ in number one under heaven.” Xia Tian lazily replied.

"Xia Tian" Li Mingxuan smiled slightly. "What a unique name. It fits this season perfectly."

Xia Tian was too lazy to pay attention; the guy's words were empty of substance.

“Mingxuan, you’re here!” Yu Yumei came out from the kitchen with a plate of cut fruit. "Come and have some fruit."

"Aunt Yu." Li Mingxuan quickly stood up to greet her. It was clear that except for Zhao Qingqing, Zhao Bingliang and Yu Yumei were quite familiar with Li Mingxuan.o make you all know that men who can’t drive are the real men!"The crowd was silent for a moment before erupting into laughter: "Hahaha...""Wow, this guy is really impressive. He actually wants to run...
