Chapter 530  : Can’t You Take the Day Off?

“I treated you as my uncle before, so it was different then,” Tan Mo muttered subconsciously.

Wei Zhiqian understood what she meant.

The hidden meaning behind Tan Mo’s words was that she had only treated him as an uncle, but he wanted to sleep with her.

Wei Zhiqian was lost for words.

But she was not wrong to think that.

Wei Zhiqian lowered his head and kissed Tan Mo’s lips unexpectedly. “Then, get used to it. Don’t be so nervous all the time.”

“Otherwise...” Wei Zhiqian said, stretching the last syllable.

Tan Mo unconsciously held her breath, then she heard Wei Zhiqian’s low-pitched voice vibrating from his throat. “You’ll make me wanna tease you very badly.”

Tan Mo let out a startled gasp, and her whole face went red.

Such a soothing and seductive voice along with such blush-worthy words was simply too unbearable for her.

Wei Zhiqian sighed.

He really wanted to hold Tan Mo tightly in his arms now and never let her go.

He wanted so badly to squeeze her in his arms with all his might.

Wei Zhiqian straightened up and walked out of Tan Mo’s bedroom.

Tan Mo hurried to brush her teeth, wash up, and get changed before getting out of her room.

The moment she stepped out into the living room, she heard the sound of sizzling oil coming from the kitchen.

The smell of fried eggs wafted in the air.

The kitchen was separated into two sections, one Chinese and one Western.

The Chinese kitchen had a door to close up the area.

The Western one was an open kitchen placed right next to the Chinese-style kitchen.

Tan Mo walked over and saw Wei Zhiqian wearing an immaculately ironed light-gray shirt.

The shirt hung perfectly on his muscular and fit body.

From the back, every now and then the shape of his shoulder blades and muscles showed through the shirt as his arms moved.

He looked strong and powerful.

When Wei Zhiqian was dressed in formal attire, he exuded a particular sense of abstinence.

It made her want to get closer to him and yield to his temptations.

However, he was wearing an apron around that seductive attire.

He was both the image of homey and professionalism at the same time, which was contradicting yet harmonious.

Contradiction and harmony were clearly two conflicting words that didn’t complement one another.

Nonetheless, that was the feeling Wei Zhiqian gave off.

Hearing Tan Mo’s footsteps getting closer, Wei Zhiqian turned his head and smiled at Tan Mo. “It’s almost ready. Have a seat.”

It was just two of them, so Tan Mo didn’t make her way to the dining room. Instead, she sat down at the bar table attached to the open kitchen.

She planned to just have her breakfast right here with Wei Zhiqian.

“Do you know how to cook?” Tan Mo asked in surprise.

She had no clue.

She had known Wei Zhiqian since she was six years old. In all these years, she really had no idea that Wei Zhiqian could cook.

Of course, she couldn’t cook either.

Her family spoiled her dearly.

Why would they make her learn such a chore?

Xu Mingzhen knew how to cook, but that didn’t mean she cooked frequently. She had only done so a couple of times...

Let alone teach it to Tan Mo.

As Tan Jinsheng had said, “What’s the point of learning this?”

“It’s okay if you enjoy cooking like a hobby, but if you’re planning on learning it just to serve your husband after marriage, then just forget about it.”

They spoiled Tan Mo while raising her, so she had never once cooked in her own home. They didn’t want her to spend her married life stuck in a kitchen cooking for someone else.

“Can’t say I do, but something simple like frying an egg is still within my capacity,” Wei Zhiqian explained while smiling. “If I’m the one cooking breakfast, then you can expect it quick and easy.”

“The toaster over here makes its own toast without me lifting a finger,” Wei Zhiqian said. “All I’m doing is just frying an egg, so you’ll just have to bear with me and eat up.”

“It’s good enough,” Tan Mo said. “I like my breakfasts simple.”

Right then, the slices of toasts bounced up from the toaster.

The toast was perfectly heated at the right temperature. It came out golden on both sides.

These ingredients had all been readily sitting in the refrigerator.

The housekeeper Wei Zhiqian had hired would add some fresh food to the refrigerator each day.

Since Tan Mo went there to write her script almost every day in the past, she needed something to eat.

Thus, the housekeeper made sure there was always fresh food available.

Tan Mo put the toast on the plate and placed it on the bar counter.

Wei Zhiqian served the fried eggs.

He brought the salt and pepper over so Tan Mo could season it herself.

Wei Zhiqian dispensed two cups of coffee from the coffee machine.

It was a coffee machine that could produce all sorts of coffees.

Tan Mo liked caramel macchiato while Wei Zhiqian’s favorite was black coffee.

Tan Mo added two more packets of sugar to the coffee just the way she liked it.

She sprinkled a little salt and pepper on her egg.

Then, she coated a thick layer of strawberry jam on her toast.

The sweet and tangy strawberry jam, paired with a piece of toast that was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, along with a sip of coffee...

The bitterness mixed with the sweet and tangy tasted just right.

It was Tan Mo’s favorite type of egg with the sunny side up. The yellow center was still gooey, golden, and brilliant like the sun.

The breakfast was simple, but it made Tan Mo feel full in her belly and warm in her heart.

After they were done eating, Wei Zhiqian put the cups and dishes into the dishwasher.

The housekeeper would clean up the rest.

After Tan Mo picked up her bag and laptop, she went to the foyer to put on her shoes.

Wei Zhiqian was all dressed and ready to go.

He stood at the side waiting for Tan Mo.

Tan Mo tied her shoelaces. Just as she stood up, she bumped right into Wei Zhiqian.

She looked up instinctively.

Wei Zhiqian’s hands were already on Tan Mo’s waist.

Suddenly gripping her waist, he lifted her.

“Uncle!” Tan Mo exclaimed, but Wei Zhiqian had already lifted her and backed her against the door.

Tan Mo was carrying a bag on her shoulder, and both her hands were holding onto the laptop. She had no room to budge.

She was completely enveloped in Wei Zhiqian’s embrace, unable to move at all.

“Uncle...” Tan Mo exclaimed nervously.

Wei Zhiqian supported her legs, letting Tan Mo rest firmly against his body.

He kissed her ferociously.

The lingering bitter taste of black coffee that Wei Zhiqian had drunk filled Tan Mo’s mouth.

The bitterness was every bit as masculine as Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Mo held onto her laptop helplessly with both hands, unable to touch Wei Zhiqian.

After a long while, Wei Zhiqian finally released her, leaving Tan Mo out of breath.

But his bitter coffee-scented lips still gently pressed against her lips.

Then, she heard Wei Zhiqian say, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it. I just really wanted to bury Momo in my arms.”

His lips still pressed against hers. Every time he opened and closed his lips, they rubbed against hers.

Tan Mo felt her whole body go limp. She buried her petite face against Wei Zhiqian’s neck helplessly, and she grunted softly, “Uncle...”

That little voice almost sent Wei Zhiqian to heaven.

He took a deep breath and asked, “Can’t you take the day off?”

Tan Mo was startled.

She quickly shook her head.

Didn’t Wei Zhiqian need to go to work?

Wei Zhiqian sighed helplessly. Then, he tilted his head, landing right on the tip of her ears, and he planted a few more kisses.

“Very well then,” he said helplessly. “I’ll come to pick you up when you are done with classes this afternoon.”

“Okay,” Tan Mo replied softly.

“I really don’t want to let go of my Momo,” Wei Zhiqian said with much reluctance in his voice.

Tan Mo did not know what to say.
