Chapter 359: Protecting His Ally, Ming Yeqing
Qin Mufeng: “……”
Wait a moment, his brain was unable to process this information.
He only felt that there was something wrong with what Wei Zhiqian had just said.
However, at this moment, he was not able to think what was wrong specifically.
After all, his focus was on driving, and he was unable to use too much energy to think about anything else.
He only felt that the term Brother Zhiqian sounded very familiar.
Anyway, the one who was anxious now was no longer Wei Zhiqian and his appet.i.te was back again.
“How do you know that he doesn’t like Tan Mo?” Qin Mufeng found it odd and asked.
“He told me directly.” Wei Zhiqian was enjoying himself. He felt like crossing his legs casually and shaking his leg just to torment Qin Mufeng. “Moreover, the kid has a bright future ahead and is very intelligent. Doesn’t Mo Mo call me uncle? He calls me Brother Zhiqian, which is different from Mo Mo. Moreover, one calls me uncle and one calls me brother. This is caused by a difference in seniority. He did it to differentiate himself.”
When he heard the term Brother Zhiqian again, he felt that it was even more familiar.
He certainly had heard it somewhere before.
He could not recall, and Qin Mufeng decided to put it aside for now.
When they arrived later and his focus was no longer required for driving, he would think about it properly.
Qin Mufeng then redirected the topic back to what they were talking about earlier. “Where did I stop?
“Oh, right.” Qin Mufeng recalled. “See, male students who are around 19 and 20 are around Tan Mo’s age, but they have not graduated. Those who are 23 and 24 have graduated, but they have not started their careers. Now, look at us who have good careers and we are not that much older than Tan Mo, right?
“You should only look around in this radius.” Qin Mufeng thought of Ming Yeqing again. “I still feel that Ming Yeqing is the most suitable.”
Wei Zhiqian snorted and held himself back. He did not mention that the one Ming Yeqing liked was Qin Muye.
If Qin Mufeng found out about it, Qin Mufeng might stop them before something actually had budded between Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye.
What if at that time, when it was not possible for Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye to be together, and he saw Tan Mo’s good points, then what should he do?
He must protect his ally, Ming Yeqing, and quickly make the match between Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye.
“Eliminate Ming Yeqing…” When Qin Mufeng said that, the car stopped in front of the hot spring’s front door.
Wei Zhiqian was unbuckling his seatbelt and Qin Mufeng said, “Then
really only you are the most suitable. Other than Tan Mo’s family, no one is more concerned about her than you. You are worried that the hearts of other people would change, then only you can guarantee that your heart would not change.”
Wei Zhiqian had just unbuckled the seatbelt and his hand was still holding onto it.
When he heard Qin Mufeng’s words, even his hand movements stopped.
He dazedly turned his head and looked at Qin Mufeng with an open mouth.
Qin Mufeng had already opened the car door.
He put a foot out the car and turned around and said to Wei Zhiqian, “You have much to criticize about the boys who like Tan Mo and would not even accept one who has just one pimple on his chin.
Qin Mufeng shook his head with a smile. “This is not guarding Tan Mo, this is just rejecting those who like Tan Mo.”
After he spoke, to prevent Wei Zhiqian from punching him, Qin Mufeng quickly exited the car and pa.s.sed the car key to the hotel staff to let them park the car.
“Brother!”
“Uncle!”
Tan Mo and Qin Muye had known they were on the way.
They had quickly come out to wait when they saw Qin Mufeng’s car enter the manor’s main gate.
When they saw them, they had run toward them.
Wei Zhiqian saw Tan Mo and found Qin Mufeng’s words ridiculous.
He was especially happy when he saw Tan Mo. He felt as if he was seeing his own children.
Qin Mufeng ignored him after making a TSK, TSK sound.
Qin Muye quickly pulled Qin Mufeng a little farther away and then asked, “Brother, did you ask? What did Brother Zhiqian say? What are they doing? They go to Beijing University every day during mealtimes.”
“I asked, and it is because Tan Mo is now an adult, and they felt that there would be a lot of boys pursuing Tan Mo. They are not at ease and want to keep a lookout all the time and guard her fiercely…” Qin Mufeng said and then stopped suddenly.
His complexion was suddenly like a dye factory, painted with all sorts of dyes and very colorful.
“Brother, what is it?” Qin Muye asked in confusion.
She thought of how much Qin Mufeng had prepared for her birthday.
Could it be that he was too tired from preparing for her birthday?
Qin Muye anxiously asked, “Brother, are you unwell? Are you too tired?”
When faced with his sister’s caring att.i.tude, Qin Mufeng only felt terrible.
“What did you call Wei Zhiqian?” Qin Mufeng asked.
“Brother Zhiqian, haven’t I called him that since I was young?” Qin Muye had a confused expression.
Qin Mufeng only felt that his chest hurt.
It was too d*mn terrible…
“What is it?” Qin Muye asked again.
What was Qin Mufeng up to? He was being weird.
“Nothing,” Qin Mufeng waved his hand. He only wanted some peace and quiet now.
“Brother, are you unwell?” Qin Muye quickly followed him.
She saw Qin Mufeng’s complexion had gotten worse.
“I’m all right,” Qin Mufeng said. Then he saw from the corner of his eye that at a spot not too far away stood Ming Yeqing, who was silently looking over from a distance keeping his eyes on Qin Muye.
Qin Mufeng: “……”
As Wei Zhiqian walked up the path holding Tan Mo’s hand, he glanced back to look at Qin Mufeng.
Ming Yeqing is so great! Your Qin family can keep him.
Tan Mo followed Wei Zhiqian’s gaze and looked over.
She saw Qin Mufeng’s complexion and asked Wei Zhiqian, “Uncle, what happened to Uncle Qin? Is he unwell?”
Wei Zhiqian happily thought, see, this was the normal greeting.
She called him uncle and called Qin Mufeng uncle.
Ming Yeqing called him Brother Zhiqian and could not hide his intentions anymore.
“It’s nothing much. He might have realized Ming Yeqing’s intentions.” Wei Zhiqian laughed in a low tone and explained.
Tan Mo understood immediately, covered her mouth, and laughed sneakily.
Her face was small, and she had covered half of it with her hand, and only her high nose and her eyes, which became crescent-shaped from laughing, were showing.
“I am afraid only Muye herself does not know.” Tan Mo grinned.
From Tan Mo’s happy expression it was obvious there was not even a bit of sadness on her face.
Then, Wei Zhiqian knew that Tan Mo truly treated Ming Yeqing as her good friend and did not have any other intentions toward him.
Afterward, Qin Muye found that Wei Zhiqian and the three brothers of the Tan family no longer were keeping an eye on Tan Mo.
It had changed to Qin Mufeng keeping an eye on her instead.
Until nighttime when she returned to the guest room, Qin Mufeng would suddenly appear by her side.
Even after she returned to her room, Qin Mufeng would call and ask her if she had slept.
Had Tan Mo gone to her room?
Was she alone in her room now or was she with Tan Mo?
It caused Qin Muye’s head to almost explode.
