Wei Zhiqian’s breath was starting to get hotter, and his rhythm was a complete mess now.
It was then that Tan Mo suddenly said, “Great-grandma also said that if you don’t find me an auntie, she won’t let you go back to the old mansion, even if it’s the Lunar New Year of the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Wei Zhiqian’s eyes widened as he was surprised by his grandmother’s declaration.
Tan Mo paused for a few seconds. “Uncle… When are you going to find me an auntie?” she finally asked unwillingly.
Wei Zhiqian reached his hand out and gently patted her head before slowly tracing his fingers down her hair and to her face.
He let Tan Mo rest her head on his palm while he softly rubbed her cheek with his thumb.
“Do you want me to find an auntie for you?” Wei Zhiqian asked in a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice.
Tan Mo was stunned by the question and did not reply to his answer.
All she did was stare at him.
It only took her a few seconds for her eyes and expression to turn into a sad one.
She even pouted with her mouth. It was clear that she wasn’t happy.
Looking at her reaction, the man knew what her answer was.
However, he did not bring that out even when he was a little pained by her expression.
He was still waiting for her answer.
Suddenly, Tan Mo began to sob. It quickly turned into a loud wail.
Wei Zhiqian was completely surprised by her reaction.
He had known her ever since she was a baby, and that was the first time he had seen her cry that hard.
In the past, whenever Tan Mo was wronged by other people, she would at most have an angry expression or her eyes would turn red as if she was about to cry.
There was also the fact that not many people had the heart to see her in that state.
That was why other people rarely tried to anger her or bully her to that extent.
Whenever she had those expressions on her face, nine out of 10 times were because she did it on purpose.
Even though Wei Zhiqian knew that, he still find her cute whenever she did that with a purpose.
She was so cute that he wanted to pinch her cheeks as well.
However, this time, she was crying.
It was as if she was expressing all of her emotion through her wails.
That was why Wei Zhiqian was completely shocked by it.
He had never expected that she would have so much emotion pent up inside of her.
Wei Zhiqian blamed himself for not noticing that she had been hiding it for so long, to the point where he wanted to punch himself in his face.
“Momo!” Wei Zhiqian was anxious now. There was no way he could answer her question now.
He picked her up and sat her down on his thighs while hugging her tightly. He tried to calm her down, just like how he did when she was still a child.
“Everything’s alright. Come on, you should stop crying,” Wei Zhiqian said anxiously as he gently patted her back.
He raised his hand and caressed her hair while he moved his left hand to her face and gently rubbed the tears off her face.
“I don’t want you to find an auntie for me! I don’t… I don’t…” Tan Mo sobbed and let out a loud wail again. She could not control her emotion any longer.
Her lips were moistened by her tears, making them even redder and softer.
Even amidst his anxiousness, his heart skipped a beat when he saw that.
“Momo.” Wei Zhiqian’s voice uncontrollably turned hoa.r.s.e. His anxiousness was even more profound in his voice now. “Why do you want to stop me from…”
Even when Tan Mo was now crying and drunk, the man couldn’t bring himself to say the word “Auntie.”
Instead, he decided to change the way he worded that. “Why do you want to stop me from finding a girlfriend? Are you worried that I won’t treat you the same after I have a partner? Don’t worry, even if I have a girlfriend, even if I am married, I’ll still treat you like how I always do. Nothing will change.”
Wei Zhiqian tried to calm her down with his soft voice.
However, Tan Mo just kept crying and crying.
It was because she couldn’t find a reason to stop Wei Zhiqian from falling in love and from marriage.
There was no way she could tell her that she didn’t want to get herself a new aunt.
That she wanted to be his wife.
Tan Mo did not say anything and just kept crying.
Wei Zhiqian didn’t get the answer he wanted. The more Tan Mo cried the more his heart hurt.
In the end, he didn’t want to hear that answer anymore and quickly comforted her. “Alright, Momo. Everything is fine. Everything is okay. Okay?”
“I don’t want you to find an auntie for me!” Tan Mo wailed. Even though she was afraid, she finally said it out.
“Okay. Okay. I won’t find you an auntie.” Wei Zhiqian smiled, thinking that if she were to marry him, then she wouldn’t have a new auntie.
“I know I shouldn’t have done this, but… but…” the little snow fairy couldn’t even finish her sentence anymore.
This time, she poured all of her feelings out.
She kept blaming herself. At the same time, she didn’t want Wei Zhiqian to end up with another woman.
Even the idea of Wei Zhiqian dating another woman pained her heart.
It was as if her heart was being squeezed by something.
She couldn’t bring herself to think what would happen if Wei Zhiqian really started dating another woman.
Tan Mo did not understand why it would hurt so much.
When she first noticed her feelings for Wei Zhiqian, she tried to run away from the truth.
However, it only ended up in her like him even more.
She decided that she would keep it a secret.
At that time, she never thought about the fact that Wei Zhiqian would date and marry another woman.
Now, it was as if the problem was suddenly thrown at her, and it caught her off-guard.
She did not know how to react to it.
It was only then Tan Mo realized she couldn’t remain in the same situation forever.
The only reason she thought she could keep her crush on him a secret was that Wei Zhiqian was always near her, taking good care of her and loving her.
He didn’t have any other female friends.
However, once Wei Zhiqian was in a relations.h.i.+p, it was more than enough to disturb the relations.h.i.+p they had now.
Tan Mo wasn’t afraid that Wei Zhiqian would find out about her feeling for him. Instead, she was afraid that she couldn’t bear seeing him having an intimate relations.h.i.+p with another woman.
“I don’t want you to get close to another woman!” Tan Mo cried as her tears had dripped all over her face now.
Tan Mo’s small face was as pure as one could ever get. There wasn’t even a hint of surgery on it, and she still looked amazing.
Her clear tears had only made her skin look even fairer.
“Of course,” Wei Zhiqian replied with his still hoa.r.s.e voice, but his tone was getting quieter. “I won’t get close to another woman.”
As he said that, he rubbed the tears that were about to drop.
Tan Mo’s face was still completely red. It was a sign that she was still intoxicated. It seemed like it was getting worse. As the alcohol took over her rationality, she became even bolder and started to throw a tantrum.
“You cannot like another woman either,” she said.
Wei Zhiqian raised a brow as the way she said it felt different.
He wondered if she meant it the way he thought.
The man tried to suppress his excitement, worried that he was just overthinking it.
“I won’t.” Wei Zhiqian nodded as he continued to rub her tears.
“You can’t marry another woman either,” Tan Mo added.
“If I don’t have another woman to love, who am I going to marry?” Wei Zhiqian laughed.
