Chapter 406  : Figured Out

Tan Mo imagined a lot of things and was deciding if she should let Wei Zhiqian kiss her.

She did not move at all, and she did not dodge at all.

Her subconscious had already made the decision.

However, she did not expect Wei Zhiqian to suddenly freeze when his head was already lowered and only a few millimeters away from her.

Tan Mo held her breath. She was stunned and did not know how to react.

She blinked a few times. She could not help but look at Wei Zhiqian’s lips.

His lips were neither thin nor thick. They were the right thickness.

If they were slightly thicker, he would have a slight na?ve air. If they were slightly thinner, he would look cold.

Usually, when he looked at people, his lip lines were severe, and people would be anxious.

However, when Tan Mo looked at Wei Zhiqian, she felt that even if he was not smiling, the outline of his lips looked gentle.

She did not know that when Wei Zhiqian looked at her, his eyes and brows were smiling, which caused the lines of his lips to be gentler.

He looked like he was not smiling, but the hints of a faint smile were present.

Now, the corner of Wei Zhiqian’s lips was slightly lifted and had an obvious curve.

His lips looked gentler and softer.

Tan Mo seemed to be able to smell the lemony fragrance from his lips.

When Tan Mo held her breath from nervousness, Wei Zhiqian reached out his hand and pinched her soft and tender cheek.

Tan Mo was dazed.

Had Wei Zhiqian got so close just to pinch her face?

Of course, it shouldn’t be called a pinch.

It was because Wei Zhiqian did not use force.

She did not feel pain at all. The area he pinched was a little tingly and itchy.

“Quickly go in. Rest earlier, and I will be waiting for you at the old mansion tomorrow.” As Wei Zhiqian spoke, he did not step back. His face was still only a few millimeters away from Tan Mo’s.

“Oh,” Tan Mo’s breathing was unstable from nervousness, and she nodded slightly.

She blinked a few times. Her eyelashes were like a fan that went up and down.

Wei Zhiqian had a long nose. He felt that Tan Mo’s eyelashes almost swept the tip of it.

“Go, I will watch you go in.” Wei Zhiqian’s voice was low and a little raspy.

It reminded Tan Mo of the recently popular audios of male voices online.

Tan Mo’s brain was confused. She could not recall if Wei Zhiqian used to speak like this in the past.

Was it too long ago since that they had since each other and she had forgotten?

“Okay.” Tan Mo obediently nodded and stepped back slightly. She waved to Wei Zhiqian. “Well, goodbye.”

The corner of Wei Zhiqian’s lips had a smile. With a gaze as warm as the sun at noon, he nodded.

He watched Tan Mo leave.

Under Wei Zhiqian’s gaze, Tan Mo could hardly walk.

Her actions became especially awkward.

She quickly jogged and entered the main door of the Tan family home.

She turned back. Past the short fence around the yard, she saw that Wei Zhiqian was still standing outside.

The place he was standing at was within the area the streetlights were shining on.

Tan Mo could see that Wei Zhiqian was still looking at her gently.

Tan Mo panicked in her heart and quickly arrived at her home’s entrance. When she turned back again, Wei Zhiqian was still there.

Tan Mo waved to Wei Zhiqian again.

Wei Zhiqian waved back to her with a smile.

Tan Mo opened the door.

“Momo is back!” The three brothers of the Tan family came forward.

However, Tan Mo was not able to respond to her brothers. She changed into house slippers and ran to the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window that looked outside.

She could see Wei Zhiqian was still outside.

Tan Jinyi also saw and asked with jealousy, “Why was he the one who brought you back?”

Tan Jinsheng said with bad intentions, “I wonder what Wei Zhiqian was busy with before. He didn’t see you for such a long time as if he forgot you. Why did he remember to see you today?”

Tan Jinyi quickly said, “That’s right. He meets you when he feels like it, then throws you to one side when he forgets. He is too unreliable!”

Tan Jinsheng secretly gave Tan Jinyi a thumbs up.

He did not expect that Tan Jinyi’s IQ was now passable.

His reaction was fast.

“Only we are reliable.” Tan Jinsheng lamented, “No matter what, we will always be by your side and wait for you at home. As long as you are back, you can see us.”

Tan Jinyi said, “We agreed that we would take turns to see you in school. As for Wei Zhiqian, he only saw you a few times and disappeared. How unreliable.”

Tan Jinsheng was momentarily speechless.

Tan Jinsheng quickly used his elbow to nudge Tan Jinyi.

What was he saying?

He had revealed them.

He had just praised him that his IQ had increased, then he had revealed himself.

He could not be praised.

“He has just been busy recently.” Tan Mo looked outside the window and waved to Wei Zhiqian to express that she was safely at home and he should quickly go back to rest.

“But it will be better after today.” Tan Mo helped to put in a good word for Wei Zhiqian. “He even agreed with me that we will go to the Old Mansion tomorrow.”

Wei Zhiqian saw Tan Mo by the window, but he also saw the three brothers of the Tan family.

He only entered the car after he smiled and waved to Tan Mo.

On the way, the corner of Wei Zhiqian’s lips was lifted.

When he did not see Tan Mo before, Wei Zhiqian felt that he certainly would not be an animal.

What did the young lady do wrong?

She only innocently treated him like an uncle.

He thought that if he did not see her for a while, he would not think such nonsense.

As for that dream, it was only an accident.

It could have been that he had been single for too long.

That might have made him dream about Tan Mo.

However, after he met Tan Mo today, he found that the feeling had not been reduced. Instead, it had intensified…

Up to the point that Wei Zhiqian was anxious.

He thought about what Ming Yeqing said. Wei Zhiqian also thought that upperclassman Cheng truly did not have many flaws.

If upperclassman Cheng was on a date with other girls, he would even think that upperclassman Cheng was a good candidate.

He thought again, even if it was not upperclassman Cheng and was another person who was on a date with Tan Mo…

How would he react?

No matter who it was, even if that person was perfect, he felt that he would still be angry.

That would be true even it was one of his good friends.

If their age was disregarded, they would be top candidates.

He still felt that it was not okay.

Even if Wei Zhiqian was not willing to admit it, he was unable to lie to himself or others.

As the heir to the Wei family, he had been trained and educated since he was young to not lie to himself or others.

Even if it was a matter that was difficult to accept, he could still quickly and rationally accept it.

He was unable to continue to lie to himself.

That was the case until Tan Mo landed in his embrace from snatching back the phone, and they accidentally touched.

Wei Zhiqian gave in and realized that he really was unable to view Tan Mo as a junior anymore.

His feelings toward Tan Mo were even more intense than in the dream.

Wei Zhiqian was rational enough to understand himself.

Thus, he was rational enough to know that his feelings toward Tan Mo made it impossible for them to return to how they had been in the past.
