Wei Zhiqian was worried that Tan Mo would be woken up by the notification tone of WeChat.

Seeing the message appear on the lock screen of Tan Mo’s phone, Wei Zhiqian turned off the mute function.

He looked longingly once more at Tan Mo who was sleeping soundly. Only then did he jump out from the balcony of Tan Mo’s bedroom and climb over the wall to leave.

Sitting in his car, Wei Zhiqian thought amusedly to himself, why did his actions seem so much like a rapist’s.

*

When Tan Mo woke up, it was already past 10 o’clock. She was woken up by the sunlight s.h.i.+ning through the window.

Last night, she had drawn the curtains, but when Wei Zhiqian came, she had pulled the curtains open.

After Wei Zhiqian entered, she had forgotten to draw the curtains again.

When Tan Mo opened her eyes, she almost forgot that Wei Zhiqian had come the night before.

Until she snapped out of her daze did Tan Mo recall that Wei Zhiqian had come last night. It was really like a dream.

She turned her head only to find that Wei Zhiqian’s figure was nowhere to be found.

She only saw that the quilt next to her had been lifted, and the bedsheet was still left with traces of his presence.

Tan Mo suddenly smiled.

Because all this made him seem like a sc.u.mbag who didn’t take responsibility and left after just patting his b.u.t.t.

Tan Mo smiled as she took her phone. She wanted to check the time and just happened to see a WeChat message notification.

She opened it and found that it was a message Wei Zhiqian had sent earlier.

Uncle: “I’m afraid that my in-laws will find out, so I’m leaving first. Call me or send me a message when you wake up.”

Tan Mo: “…”

When did her uncle start addressing her parents as ‘in-laws’?

The nickname she gave Wei Zhiqian on WeChat was ‘Uncle’.

This nickname coupled with the way he was calling her parents his in-laws was just weird.

Tan Mo replied to Wei Zhiqian’s message, “Uncle, I’m awake.”

Wei Zhiqian had been waiting for Tan Mo’s reply.

As soon as Tan Mo sent this message, Wei Zhiqian’s video call request came in.

Tan Mo couldn’t help but say in her heart that her uncle’s actions were too fast.

He had left early in the morning so she thought he may be catching up on sleep.

Tan Mo quickly got off the bed and went to the dressing table to tidy herself up. At least, she had to look decent.

Then she rushed back to the bed. She got on the bed, calmed her breathing, and picked up the call.

“Uncle,” Tan Mo called.

Seeing that she was still in bed, Wei Zhiqian smiled and asked, “You just woke up?”

“Yeah, I replied as soon as I got up,” Tan Mo said.

“You have to go back to school today, right? When are you going back? I’ll send you,” Wei Zhiqian said.

Today was the last day of the holidays. Tomorrow, Tan Mo would be going back to school.

Wei Zhiqian felt that it was much more convenient for them to meet when Tan Mo was back in school compared to when she stayed at home during the holidays.

At least when Tan Mo was in school, they could just go to the house he had in the neighborhood next to the school.

“In the afternoon. I promised mom and dad I would have lunch at home.”

“Okay.”

In the afternoon, Tan Mo was preparing to return to school.

“I’ll get the car,” Tan Wenci said happily.

It had been a long time since he had sent Tan Mo to school.

Usually, when Tan Mo went back to school on weekends, Qin Muye would ask the driver to take a detour to pick her up. Other times, Tan Mo and Qin Muye would go on a playdate and would go straight back to school after their girl’s date.

Of course, Tan Wenci didn’t know that during this period, when Tan Mo said that she was going out with Qin Muye, eight out of ten times, she was using Qin Muye as an excuse to go on dates with Wei Zhiqian.

Therefore, Wei Zhiqian was the one who was sending Tan Mo back to school.

Today, Tan Wenci finally seized the opportunity to send her daughter back to school. He was extremely happy.

“Dad, uncle said that he’s coming to pick me up.” Seeing Tan Wenci’s excitement, Tan Mo said these words with some difficulty.

She should’ve asked her uncle to meet her at school.

Tan Wenci: “…”

“Why is he part of the crowd too?” Tan Wenci’s face fell with the mention of Wei Zhiqian. “The Tan family and the Wei family aren’t even in the same direction!”

“Hurry up and call Wei Zhiqian and tell him not to come!” Tan Wenci said angrily, “We’re all at home and it’s so convenient for us to send you. How can it be that we need him to come?”

Tan Mo: “…”

Tan Mo took out her phone, hoping that Wei Zhiqian hadn’t left yet.

Unexpectedly, before she could call him, the doorbell rang.

Tan Wenci’s eyebrows jumped as she mumbled, “I have a bad feeling.”

Auntie Guo thought to herself that she had a feeling too, but she felt that it was neither good nor bad.

She calmly went to open the door.

Through the video camera by the door, she saw that it was Wei Zhiqian standing outside.

Auntie Guo thought to herself, she wasn’t surprised at all.

She simply calmly opened the door. “Young Master Wei.”

Wei Zhiqian didn’t need an invitation and walked straight in.

Besides, his many years of experience told him that in the Tan family, other than Tan Mo, if he were to wait for anyone else to invite him in, he would probably be standing at the door till the end of time.

“Uncle, Auntie,” Wei Zhiqian greeted.

Fortunately, Tan Jinqi was on set, and the second and third sons of the Tan family were busy with their work.

Only Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen were home, and they were quite easy to deal with.

Of course, even if the three brothers of the Tan family were home as well, they would just be a little more difficult to deal with. It wasn’t like Wei Zhiqian couldn’t handle them.

Tan Wenci didn’t know why, but recently he would get displeased just by hearing Wei Zhiqian’s voice.

He kept feeling that this kid seemed to have some ulterior motives as compared to before.

“I’m here to send Mo Mo to school,” When Wei Zhiqian spoke, his gaze was glued to Tan Mo’s face.

They had just parted this morning, and Wei Zhiqian had come at two o’clock sharp in the estimation that she would’ve finished lunch no matter how slowly she was eating.

Still, he felt that he hadn’t seen Tan Mo for a long time.

As soon as he saw her, he just couldn’t take his eyes off her.

He had wanted to come at half-past one, but he was worried that it would leave Tan Mo too little time to eat, which was why he held himself back and came at two.

“You don’t have to go through the trouble of specifically coming around. It’s very much convenient for us to send Momo to school,” Tan Wenci said with displeasure.

“It’s not inconvenient for me either. I happened to be out on business, so I came here on the way,” Wei Zhiqian said with a smile.

“I won’t trouble you,” After all these years, Tan Wenci had understood that he couldn’t be tactful when talking to Wei Zhiqian.

Being tactful was useless when talking to Wei Zhiqian. On the contrary, it would allow one to be taken advantage of by him.

Therefore, Tan Wenci simply said bluntly, “We’ll send Momo to school, you can go back.”

Tan Mo: “…”

Wei Zhiqian: “…”

“Dad, uncle is already here,” Tan Mo spoke up for Wei Zhiqian.

“Yeah, since I’m already here, you and Auntie don’t have to go through the trouble,” Wei Zhiqian said.

“What’s the trouble is us sending our daughter?” Tan Wenci immediately retorted.

“It’s alright, I’ll send her,” Wei Zhiqian said.

“Sure.” Tan Wenci suddenly agreed frankly.

He was so frank that Wei Zhiqian was on guard.

If something seemed unusual, there were usually ulterior motives behind it!

“Since you’ve already driven here, you can also bring us along. We can send Momo to school together, so there’s no need to fight over it,” Tan Wenci said.

When Xu Mingzhen heard this, she knew that Tan Wenci didn’t have good intentions.

Tan Mo could also read between the lines, and she said, “Does that mean uncle had to send you back too after sending me?”
