Chapter 405: He Will Not Go on Blind Dates in the Future
“I felt guilty and did not dare to tell you.” Wei Zhiqian’s voice slowly lowered.
Tan Mo finally lifted her head to look at Wei Zhiqian and found that the expression on his face was like a child who did something wrong.
It was the first time she had seen Wei Zhiqian with such an expression.
Tan Mo panicked. “How can that be? You will forever be the best uncle!”
After she said that, Tan Mo was too embarra.s.sed to look at Wei Zhiqian again.
She lowered her gaze. She was too embarra.s.sed to look at his Adam’s apple and lowered her gaze even further.
She then saw Wei Zhiqian’s chest.
Wei Zhiqian was only wearing a s.h.i.+rt.
As he was hugging Tan Mo, his s.h.i.+rt looked a little tight.
She could even see some of the outlines of his chest through the s.h.i.+rt.
Why did she never notice this in the past?
“No matter what you did, you will be the best uncle,” Tan Mo said with a lowered head.
“Are you not angry now?” Wei Zhiqian was relieved as long as Tan Mo was not angry.
Tan Mo shook her head. “I am not angry anymore.”
Wei Zhiqian put his palm softly on her hair and gently rubbed it.
“But, Uncle”—Tan Mo raised her head and looked at Wei Zhiqian seriously—”don’t hide from me in the future. If there is anything, tell me directly, okay?”
“During this time, you said that you were busy with work, and I couldn’t see you. Other than exchanging a few simple texts, you ignored me, and I was upset.” Tan Mo lowered her head. The top of her head was against his chest, and she rubbed against it slightly. “Uncle, don’t do that again, okay?”
“Okay.” Wei Zhiqian also did not feel good about it.
He felt that he was an animal toward Tan Mo.
However, if he was not able to see Tan Mo, he felt that being an animal was better.
Tan Mo finally relaxed and smiled.
She was a little uncomfortable on Wei Zhiqian’s lap and moved slightly.
Wei Zhiqian suddenly gripped her waist tightly.
‘Young lady, why are you suddenly moving?’
He did not say anything and quickly placed Tan Mo back on the pa.s.senger seat.
“I will take you home.” Wei Zhiqian’s voice was tense.
“Oh, okay.” Tan Mo’s response was also a little constrained.
After they started to drive for a while, the car suddenly emitted a constant beeping sound.
Tan Mo was confused. Wei Zhiqian glanced over and said, “You forgot to put on your seatbelt.”
“Ah!” Tan Mo quickly understood.
She pulled the seatbelt and looked for the clasp.
She had sat in this pa.s.senger seat often.
She did not know why, but she could not find the spot where the seatbelt clasp was.
It was too dark in the car at night. She was not able to see despite lowering her head. She could only feel around based on touch.
The beeping sound from the car’s internal seatbelt reminder feature was still beeping and rus.h.i.+ng her.
The more it rang, the more anxious Tan Mo was, and the more she could not find the spot where the clasp was.
There was a red light in front, and the cars started to queue again.
Wei Zhiqian slowly stopped the car and took the seatbelt from Tan Mo’s hand.
Tan Mo was also holding the seatbelt at this time.
Thus, Wei Zhiqian could not avoid but hold the seatbelt and Tan Mo’s hand in his hand.
Tan Mo was unable to find the clasp no matter what she did, while Wei Zhiqian was able to find it without looking.
There was a “ka-chak” sound.
The seatbelt was finally secured, and the anxiety-inducing beeping sound was gone.
Wei Zhiqian retracted his hand, but the scalding temperature from his palm remained on Tan Mo’s hand.
Tan Mo did not say a word and looked at her hand in a daze.
Her hand suddenly became very hot.
The hot temperature from her hand extended to other parts of her body, including her face.
Tan Mo turned her head to look outside the window. She secretly extended her right hand and covered the right side of her face.
It was very hot.
The car stopped outside Tan Mo’s house.
Tan Mo was releasing the seatbelt when Wei Zhiqian asked, “You will go to the old mansion, right?”
“Yes, I promised Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma.” Tan Mo nodded. “Butler Zhu also said that he missed me.”
Wei Zhiqian smiled gently. Tan Mo had always been popular at the old mansion.
When Liu would obtain a new flower species, he would wait for Tan Mo to be at the house and plant it with her.
When Chef w.a.n.g thought of a new dish, he would cook it and let everyone at the old mansion try it first.
When everyone felt that it was good, Chef w.a.n.g would say, “When Momo is here, I will make it for her!”
Everyone would feel confused.
When Tan Mo was here previously, why didn’t you let her try it?
Could it be that his new dish was not successful, and he used them as lab rats first?
Even Old Mister and Old Madam were not able to escape the fate of being lab rats.
It could be seen how Tan Mo was doted upon at the old mansion.
“Chef w.a.n.g even said that he had created a new dish and wants to make it for me to try,” Tan Mo said.
Wei Zhiqian knew that everyone at the old mansion had tasted the new dish for a few rounds already.
“I will also go tomorrow.” He would stop avoiding Tan Mo.
“Are you not going on a blind date?” Tan Mo asked in shock.
Wei Zhiqian was quiet a moment and then said, “I will not go.”
He would not go on blind dates in the future.
Animal… He would just be an animal.
“Then, I will be waiting for you at the old mansion tomorrow.” Tan Mo happily held onto Wei Zhiqian’s hand.
They could finally be like they were in the past.
“Okay.” Wei Zhiqian nodded but thought he would most likely be the one waiting for her at the old mansion.
He had never let her wait.
“Well, I will go now.” Tan Mo released Wei Zhiqian’s hand. She did not expect that Wei Zhiqian would hold onto her hand again.
Wei Zhiqian used a bit of force. Tan Mo was pulled to face Wei Zhiqian.
Her toes were against his.
If comparing them to Wei Zhiqian’s, Tan Mo’s feet were especially small.
Wei Zhiqian looked down and felt that their feet looked especially fitting and harmonious together.
“Uncle?” Tan Mo looked at him in confusion.
Wei Zhiqian suddenly lowered his head.
She watched how the distance between Wei Zhiqian’s face and hers reduced.
The gradually lowered face blocked the light from the streetlights.
Tan Mo’s surroundings were enveloped by Wei Zhiqian’s shadow.
Wei Zhiqian raised his left hand and gently held Tan Mo’s face.
Tan Mo held her breath subconsciously.
What… What did he want to do?
It looked like Wei Zhiqian was going to kiss her.
That pair of hot and soft lips were about to land on her.
Tan Mo was so nervous that her mouth could not help but tremble.
She recalled when she accidentally touched the corner of Tan Mo’s lips.
There was still a faint lemon taste from lemon water at the corner of his lips.
He did not know if it was still there.
If he… If he really wanted to kiss her, should she avoid it?
However, from the angle, it seemed that he wanted to kiss her face.
Kissing her face… What did that mean?
Or… Was it the kind of a kiss one gave kids?
But she had grown up.
Even if he was her biological uncle, he wouldn’t kiss his grown niece on the face.
Of course, she also did not kiss him.
Tan Mo’s imagination was running wild.
All sorts of random and messy thoughts were in her head.
She did not even know where these thoughts came from.
