Chapter 497: Mature and Well-mannered
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wei Zhiqian had given 110% during his work that day. He kept working and working and didn’t take his lunch break.
He only ate a simple sandwich that Zhou Jingan had bought for him for lunch. He even continued to work as he ate.
Of course, that increased his productivity a lot, but he had to focus on his work and could not ease up even for a second.
If he only did this once in a while, then he would be able to handle it. However, if he had to do it daily, even a person as strong and healthy as him wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Whenever he did this, he would feel dizzy to the point where he could collapse.
Tan Mo also knew what the man had gone through and asked, “Did you eat your lunch?”
“I did.” Wei Zhiqian nodded. “Although I only ate a simple sandwich, I did eat it on time.”
At the same time, Qin Muye was on her way to meet up with Tan Mo. When she walked out of her dorm and was about to head to the dorm next to hers, she saw Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo standing outside.
They were facing each other and talking. Qin Muye abruptly stopped and suddenly felt a sense of harmony from what she saw.
However, after Qin Muye rubbed her eyes, she suddenly felt as if the way Wei Zhiqian stood and talked to Tan Mo made him look like a show-off.
Qin Muye decided to not greet them and went back into her dorm instead. She hid behind the doors and peeked her head out to see what was happening.
“Good,” Tan Mo smiled in relief. “But don’t tire yourself out unless it’s necessary.”
“Sure thing.” Wei Zhiqian smiled and gently pinched her cheek.
Tan Mo did not realize was that the way she cared about his health was more than what acquaintances would do.
She cared about him so much that it felt as if she was his girlfriend.
“Let’s go. I parked my car by the campus gate. President Mu only allowed me to drive my car in yesterday because of the special situation,” Wei Zhiqian explained.
Tan Mo nodded and was about to walk toward the gate when the man naturally grabbed her hand.
When he walked onto the campus, he had already attracted a lot of attention.
It wasn’t only because of what happened the day before. Wei Zhiqian had always been a person that garnered a lot of attention.
When people heard that Wei Zhiqian was at the campus, those who were still in their rooms even rushed to the balcony to have a look.
Because of that, a lot of people witnessed Wei Zhiqian grabbing Tan Mo’s hand.
As they walked toward the gate, the crowd could only see their backs.
“If we didn’t know better, we would’ve thought that they were a couple instead of uncle and niece,” someone sighed.
Fortunately, her voice wasn’t loud enough so only her roommate could hear her.
“Shus.h.!.+” Her roommate quickly covered the student’s mouth while pressing her index finger on her own lips. “Don’t let people hear you say that! What if Wei Zhiqian got angry because of that?”
“Don’t worry. I made sure to keep my voice low.” The student laughed, but she still lowered her voice even more. “But seriously, look at them. Don’t you think they look like a couple too?”
If Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo were facing them, they could tell that Wei Zhiqian was much older than the lady next to him.
It was natural as Wei Zhiqian was pretty much a n.o.ble since birth. Now that he was the president of Weifeng Company, his status rose even more. As the president of a huge company, he needed to be stern and decisive. Because of that, people would sometimes tremble when they stood in front of him.
Tan Mo was still a pure and young 18-year-old teenager.
When she stood next to the mature president of a company, they didn’t look like a couple.
However, if one were to look at them from behind, they would realize that Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian could be a matching couple.
No matter how they looked, the two were in a relations.h.i.+p.
Them holding hands together only made matters worse.
Since the student was whispering, her roommate also started to comment, “You’re not wrong. They sure look like a couple from the back.”
“Unfortunately, Wei Zhiqian is wearing a suit. Even if it’s his back, he still looks a little too serious. If he was wearing casual clothes, they would look more like a couple.”
The students in the dorm thought that their voices were low enough, but they didn’t know about Wei Zhiqian’s power.
The man moved his ears a little and could hear their conversations loud and clear.
With his right hand still holding Tan Mo’s left hand, he lowered his head to look at his suit.
Wei Zhiqian let out a sigh in his head. He had no choice but to wear it since he came straight from his office.
No matter what, he was still the president of a company and had to keep his image up with his status.
He turned to look at Tan Mo.
She was wearing a plain white T-s.h.i.+rt and a pair of long jeans. She rolled her jeans up a little to show her clean and beautiful ankles.
She was wearing a pair of Roger Vivier white sneakers. She looked as pure as a teenager could be and casual at the same time.
Now that he had compared both of their clothing, he realized the students were right. They did not look like a couple based on what they were wearing.
He couldn’t help but curse at his own mistake, thinking that he should’ve changed into casual clothes at the office before coming to fetch Tan Mo.
“I thought you would be waiting for me by the gate. That’s why when you called me, I was about to leave. I would have reached the gate around six so that you wouldn’t have to wait for me,” Tan Mo said as she could feel her hand starting to heat up.
With Wei Zhiqian’s fingers covering the back of her hand, she could sometimes feel a tingling sensation from it.
“I got here a little earlier than that. Since I had nothing to do, I decided to stop by your dorm to see if you were done preparing or not. At least you would have someone to talk to when you walk to the gate,” Wei Zhiqian said with a smile, his voice coming from above Tan Mo’s head.
She lowered her head and watched her feet as she walked, wondering why he was getting more and more caring toward her.
She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at him. Since she was afraid that he might notice it, she turned a little and could only see his ankle.
She realized that he was walking at a much slower and shorter pace to match hers.
Tan Mo suddenly felt as if they were taking a stroll in the park, all elegant and carefree.
She couldn’t help but wonder if Wei Zhiqian would do the same thing for other women as well.
Tan Mo could not get that thought away from her head. The more she thought about it, the more it lingered around.
As she tried to hold her urges back to ask that question, she felt more and more stuffy.
Just as Tan Mo was hesitating if she should ask the question, Wei Zhiqian suddenly broke the silence. “Hey, do you think I look better in a suit or casual clothes?”
“Casual, I guess?” Tan Mo answered after thinking for a moment. However, now that she thought about it, it had been a long time since she last saw Wei Zhiqian in casual clothing. She had forgotten how he looked in them.
When Wei Zhiqian was still a student at Beijing University, he would always wear something casual instead of the suits he wore daily now.
Yet, no matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn’t recall it.
She turned around to look at the guys on the campus.
Some were wearing basketball jerseys, and some were in T-s.h.i.+rts and sport shorts.
No matter how much Tan Mo pictured it, she couldn’t imagine Wei Zhiqian in those clothes.
“I can’t remember what you look like in casual clothes, but you look das.h.i.+ng in suits! I don’t think I’ve seen any other man looking as good as you in them. Even the male leads in idol dramas don’t look as good as you,” Tan Mo said. Since her left hand was being held by Wei Zhiqian, she could only wave her right hand around as she talked. “You look mature and well-mannered in suits, and…”
Tan Mo wanted to say he looked s.e.xy as well, to the point where she wanted to rip the suit off him.
Fortunately, she managed to stop herself from saying that out loud. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to face him after that.
It was then she recalled that the ladies they met at the barbeque place had mentioned the same thing as well.
