Chapter 542: What Should We Do After You Finished the Editing?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Was he jealous of Wei Keli before?
Tan Mo did not know that her a.s.sumption was spot on. Wei Zhiqian was envious of Wei Keli in the past.
Back then, Wei Zhiqian treated Tan Mo like his niece because he deemed Wei Keli unworthy of her.
After realizing that he fell in love with Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian began to harbor jealousy toward Wei Keli, who had known her since she was young.
To think that a sc.u.mbag like Wei Keli was her childhood friend…
Their relations.h.i.+p went back a long way. He knew Tan Mo when she was still a toddler.
In other words, he had seen her as a younger child than Wei Zhiqian did.
Whenever he thought about how Wei Keli knew her longer, Wei Zhiqian was green with envy.
Since Tan Mo needed to edit her script, Wei Zhiqian brought her back to his apartment in the nearby neighborhood and ordered food for delivery.
Tan Mo began her work while waiting for the arrival of her meal.
To avoid interrupting her, Wei Zhiqian stealthily grabbed his nightwear and headed to the bathroom.
It was the peak hour for dinner in B City at that time, so they would need to wait for at least an hour before their food was delivered. Hence, Wei Zhiqian did not worry about the delivery person knocking on the door when he was showering.
As expected, their food hadn’t arrived even after he was done showering and putting on his pajamas.
When he entered the living room, Tan Mo was sitting on the carpet while leaning against the sofa. She placed her laptop on top of the coffee table as she worked on the script.
Wei Zhiqian could not comprehend why she would sit on the ground when he had a fully furnished study.
He came over and stopped on the fluffy carpet she was sitting on.
He settled down beside her without making a sound.
He stretched his arm and wrapped it behind her slender waist while resting his chin on her shoulder.
The dim light in the room created a faint reflection on the laptop’s screen.
Wei Zhiqian could see the mirror image of themselves through the screen.
His face was only a hair’s breadth from hers.
On a closer look, her face was slightly smaller than his.
“How long will you take to finish it?” Wei Zhiqian asked without removing his chin from her shoulder.
His husky voice caused her ears to flutter. She replied, “I-I’ll be quick.”
“There’s not much to edit anyway. I just need to alter the last scene a little. ” Tan Mo’s voice gradually softened until no sound could not be heard at all.
Suddenly, Wei Zhiqian let out a chuckle.
“What are you laughing at?” Tan Mo puffed up her reddened cheeks.
“I see. So, even Momo gets anxious.” Things were different for Tan Mo with Wei Zhiqian now and the person he was before.
Naturally, she would treat him and other men differently as well.
Thus, Wei Zhiqian knew that Tan Mo was in love with him.
She became nervous because of how special he was to her.
Tan Mo also noticed that she wasn’t so anxious with him in the past.
Yet, everything changed once their relations.h.i.+p became different.
Wei Zhiqian turned his head and planted a kiss on her cheek.
He had never done such a thing to her since the first day they knew each other.
At once, she felt a tingling sensation where she had been smooched.
“Let me finish my work first.” She thought, ‘Stop interrupting, okay?’
“Should I let you finish your work?” Wei Zhiqian raised his brows. “What should we do after you have finished the editing?”
“Hmm. What should we do after this?” Tan Mo turned her head and blinked her eyes in uncertainty. Her archly curved and long lashes were flickering as if they could graze his face.
She added, “I mean, I can spend time having fun with you after this, right?”
Wei Zhiqian was rendered speechless.
An innocent girl like her clearly did not know what lovers usually did, let alone what he had in mind.
Wei Zhiqian let out a t.i.tter. Did he need her to spend time having fun with him?
Well, yeah. There was no need to state the obvious.
At the very least, the place and way they would have fun were totally different from what Tan Mo had imagined.
“Okay. Let me kiss you, and then I’ll let you off the hook,” Wei Zhiqian stated palpably.
Upon hearing that, the redness of Tan Mo’s already flushed face intensified.
Had he always been such a character?
It was a stark contrast with the person he used to be—principled and abstinent.
Tan Mo could smell the pleasant scent from his body as he had just taken a shower a while ago.
“Well, then, go ahead.” Tan Mo moved her cheek closer to Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian giggled at the sight of it. Did he even mention anything about kissing her cheek?
Immediately, he turned Tan Mo’s head toward himself and kissed her on her lips.
Needless to say, it never crossed her mind that he was talking about mouth kisses.
Overwhelmed with the stimulation of his soft lips, she felt like an electric shock run through her body.
The electric current flowed from her lips to her ears and permeated every nook and cranny of her body. It caused her to become feeble.
Without realizing it, she was already lying on the carpet.
However, Wei Zhiqian continued to kiss her.
As she was about to feel suffocated, Wei Zhiqian halted his motion and gave her a quick peck.
At that moment, Tan Mo could feel his tangible presence all around, especially in her mouth and whenever she drew in breaths.
“Uncle…” Tan Mo was at her wit’s end.
She did not know how to deal with such unfamiliar feelings, so she sought help from Wei Zhiqian.
Meanwhile, Wei Zhiqian ran his fingers through her silky, long hair.
He could feel the smoothness of her voluminous hair on his fingertips. It felt like he was touching silk cloth.
His body tensed up as he took in her innocent and childlike look.
It made for an alluring sight to behold.
Wei Zhiqian slowly moved his hand toward her waist.
Tan Mo was wearing a cropped top that day. Therefore, her sylphlike waist and navel were exposed for him to drink in the view.
There was nothing in between his hand and her waist. He could feel her soft skin on his palm.
Tan Mo contracted her tummy as he twitched his fingers.
The doorbell rang the moment Wei Zhiqian twisted the bottom hem of her s.h.i.+rt with his fingers.
Wei Zhiqian’s mood was instantly ruined while Tan Mo remained dazed.
Staring at her rose-red countenance, he did not want to leave even for just a second.
Still, the sound of the doorbell got the better of him. Feeling resigned, he drew in a deep breath and came to his feet.
“Our food must have arrived,” Wei Zhiqian commented with a hoa.r.s.e voice.
Following that, Tan Mo got up and sat properly.
While Wei Zhiqian went out to take their food, Tan Mo leaned against the couch, peering at the screen, but her mind could not process the words before her eyes.
She cupped her reddened face with her hands and thought of what might have happened if the doorbell hadn’t rung earlier.
What was he trying to do earlier?
Wei Zhiqian came in with the food as the thought came to her mind.
He had ordered from one of her favorite restaurants.
Due to the delivery delays, the taste was slightly different from eating it in the restaurant.
Still, having their meal at home was definitely more comfortable than dining in.
After saving the doc.u.ment file, Tan Mo got up and unpacked their meal on the dining table with Wei Zhiqian.
Once they had their fill of the food, Wei Zhiqian cleared up the disposable boxes and silverware to throw them out.
Tan Mo wanted to help, but Wei Zhiqian would not let her at any cost.
What a ridiculous request.
How could he bother her with such things just because they were dating each other? Not even her family had once allowed her to do any ch.o.r.es throughout her life.
