Haha...
This ti not only Lin Tian but also Zhao Xuefeng started coughing. What's up with his granddaughter today?
As for Xu Wan, she extended both hands, giving two thumbs up, and praised, "That's my granddaughter, tough as nails!"
After catching his breath, Zhao Xuefeng grumbled, "Girls should be a bit reserved. Can you just ask such questions wildly? Show a bit of restraint."
"How am I not reserved?" Zhao Qingtang argued back, "Have you seen any guy who doesn't like ? Every single one flocks to , showering with flowers and sweet words."
"I'm aware of you stinky n's tactics. First, you ask my age to get familiar, and next ti, you'll want to invite for a al, right? You think I'm that easy?"
Staring at Lin Tian with wide eyes, Zhao Qingtang scoffed, "In your dreams!"
Lin Tian felt quite innocent. This girl had a knack for convincing herself, wasn't she a bit too narcissistic? I've seen many beauties, but one with such character as yours is a first.
Seeing Lin Tian's innocent look, Zhao Xuefeng felt quite embarrassed. He had planned to set them up before, but Lin Tian didn't even need it at all. And now, his granddaughter said such things.
Talk about a slap in the face, and it was loud too.
"Have you... never dated before?" Lin Tian asked.
Zhao Qingtang's mouth slightly opened, and a hint of blush appeared on her smug face, but she confidently said, "So what if I haven't dated? I don't waste ti on such things. Traditional dicine is my lifelong goal!"
anwhile, she added in her mind: A man whose skills in traditional dicine aren't superior to mine isn't qualified to date !
Lin Tian was speechless for a while. Giving up on n for traditional dicine?
Do these two things conflict? You could use a man's body to understand the male anatomy better, right?
Of course, Lin Tian didn't dare to say this. Otherwise, the seemingly harmless girl wearing Doraemon would probably chase him around the house with a kitchen knife.
Don't think a girl who knows dicine wouldn't dare wield a knife!
"Your goal is very admirable!"
Zhao Qingtang snorted softly, sowhat pleased, "Of course it is!"
"You still haven't told your age. Don't get wrong, I'm not trying to hit on you. I just want to know how old you are to be giving a speech at the dics Summit." Lin Tian asked.
Zhao Qingtang snorted softly, not believing a word. But when she saw Lin Tian's clear eyes, for so reason, she felt an odd sensation. As if controlled by a divine force, she replied, "22 years old, just graduated with a doctorate in traditional dicine, and this dics Summit speech is my graduation dissertation."
Lin Tian widened his eyes, "Graduating with a doctorate at 22? Isn't that usually 28?"
Lin Tian was quite speechless. So, she was a top student as well... No wonder she's never dated, likely focusing all her energy on traditional dicine, right?
These bookworms must have common ground with Li.
Zhao Qingtang, a bit smug, "You're really dense; I skipped seven grades. How else would I be qualified to give a speech at the summit?"
Xu Wan interjected with a cheerful smile, "See, didn't I say Qingtang is a genius?"
"You're flattering her so much that her tail's about to wag to the sky. Would she have achieved this without such a powerful direct ntor like , enabling her to skip grades so quickly?"
Although he spoke like this, when Zhao Xuefeng finished speaking, his eyes were squinted with pride.
"Respect, respect, turns out you're a senior student." Lin Tian folded his hands in mock salute, acting mischievously.
"Haha..." Zhao Qingtang laughed, covering her mouth yet still giving Lin Tian a glare.
After laughing for a while, Zhao Qingtang lightly coughed twice and said seriously, "Even if you don't dare to compete with ... I'll still beat you! Grandfather, this ti your speech was written by you, then my speech has to be more brilliant than both of yours combined! Making Liu Mang and his kind look defeated!"
Lin Tian was slightly speechless, "What do you an I don't dare to compete?"
"No need to explain, soone who doesn't dare to take the stage, coward!" Zhao Qingtang waved her hand dismissively, full of swagger, as if she had already won over Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was speechless for a mont... Do you think I don't dare to take the stage? I just disdain it, okay?
Xu Wan laughed heartily, "Our Qingtang is just this excellent. Who says won are inferior to n? Qingtang will surely win this ti! Grandma is on your side!"
Zhao Qingtang made a playful gesture to her grandmother, and her cute deanor made Lin Tian montarily daze.
"Lin Tian." Xu Wan called out.
"Yes, Master's wife, I'm here." Lin Tian quickly responded.
"How about our Qingtang? Beautiful, skillful in dicine, and good-tempered. If you want to woo her, you must first get past . I'm a senior mber of the Association of Appearance Enthusiasts, and you're a bit handso, just barely passing. Next is character, let's see if you can withstand the test."
Lin Tian could agree with everything else but good-tempered... Do I look that easy to trick?
"Grandma! Why are you saying this again? Do you want to marry off so badly?"
Zhao Qingtang felt a headache from her grandma's words, which were not unique to Lin Tian but had been said to other excellent young n in the business, political, and dical circles... As long as they were pleasing to her eyes, they were all grood as potential grandsons-in-law.
Zhao Qingtang just wanted to ask: I'm this pretty! Naturally beautiful! Why would I worry about marriage?!
"Child, you don't understand, do you? Grandma is giving you more quality choices. You have no feelings towards romance, 22 and haven't even had a first love. If I don't help you, who will?"
Zhao Qingtang felt an even bigger headache, totally couldn't argue with her.
Zhao Xuefeng glanced at Zhao Qingtang, then at Lin Tian. He sighed slightly, "Hey. Old woman, don't think about it; soone as outstanding as Lin Tian couldn't possibly be without a girlfriend. Soone who looks not worse than your precious granddaughter?"
"He already has a girlfriend? Then Lin Tian, do you have classmates as excellent as you or more to introduce to Qingtang?"
Xu Wan didn't get discouraged at all; rather, the more she fought, the braver she beca.
Zhao Qingtang lifted her charming eyes and glanced at Lin Tian, still wondering about sothing.
"I'm full, you all take your ti eating." With that, Zhao Qingtang got up and returned to her room, with half a bowl of rice still left in her bowl.
"Qingtang, you haven't finished eating!" Xu Wan called, "Is today's dish not to your taste? Should I make you so wontons or dumplings?"
"No need, Grandma; I haven't finished writing my speech."
Zhao Xuefeng was not affected at all, waving his hand to Lin Tian, "Let's have a couple more drinks."
Lin Tian naturally didn't refuse.
After a toast, Zhao Xuefeng started chatting about traditional dicine again. Besides traditional dicine and tea culture, nothing else seed to interest him.
During their chat, neither noticed the door to Zhao Qingtang's room open a crack.
She was eavesdropping, and the more she heard, the more shocked she beca.
Clenching her fists secretly, Zhao Qingtang shut the door tightly and started revising her speech.
