“At that time, I only thought of Momo who had become an adult. There must have been many boys in school who wanted to pursue her. I looked around and felt that none of those boys was worthy of Momo.”
The Tan family’s men nodded one after another.
They felt the same way.
They also felt that Wei Zhiqian was not worthy.
Just by looking at his age, Wei Zhiqian wasn’t worthy.
It was only because the Wei family’s two elders and the Wei Mingwen couple who doted on Tan Mo were present that they were too embarrassed to say it out loud.
“Anyway, I didn’t like anyone who likes Momo. Later, I suddenly realized that I didn’t like those people because I like Momo, and I naturally get angry and jealous when others like her.”
“After I figured it out, I was shocked. Momo was only eighteen years old, and she called me uncle. I was afraid that if she found out about my thoughts, she would think that my thoughts were dirty. Grandma, at that time, you just happened to mention the matter of the blind date, so I agreed. I thought that by getting to know other people, it might be able to make my thoughts fade away. When that time comes, I’ll still be able to treat Mo Mo as my junior then.”
Before Wei Zhiqian could finish his sentence, Tan Mo cut in, “I was angry because uncle suddenly distanced himself from me.”
Tan Mo felt that she should be the one to finish the story.
“I noticed that uncle suddenly avoided me. No matter when I went to look for him, he was always absent. This was something that had never happened before.” Tan Mo thought about that period of time, and she couldn’t help but pout, “So I got angry and even quarrelled with uncle. Uncle couldn’t bear to see me sad, so his behaviour reverted. Uncle also said that he wouldn’t go on blind dates anymore.”
“No wonder Zhiqian refused to go on blind dates after that.” The old lady nodded as if she suddenly understood.
“So, you began to have designs on Momo Again?” Tan Jinqi asked.
“That’s not the case!” Tan Mo quickly said.
Wei Zhiqian was still standing, his palm gently resting on Tan Mo’s shoulder.
Tan Mo immediately stopped talking.
The Tan family’s eyes turned red.
It was still okay for Tan Mo to defend Wei Zhiqian.
However, she stopped talking just because of Wei Zhiqian’s action.
She didn’t even need Wei Zhiqian to speak for her to obey him.
This made the Tan family furious.
Especially the tacit understanding between the two of them – it was practically stabbing into the hearts of the Tan family members.
When they weren’t paying attention, their youngest daughter had actually been led astray by Wei Zhiqian, and she was still so protective and obedient towards him!
“I couldn’t stand the days when I didn’t see Momo either, so I could only suppress my thoughts and only get along with Momo like before. I have to be careful not to let her see through my thoughts, so I can just keep staying by her side like this.” Wei Zhiqian lowered his eyes, his words heartbreaking.
However, the men from the Tan family were all sneering in their hearts.
Stay by her side?
By staying by her side, wouldn’t that make Tan Mo your girlfriend?
They didn’t believe that Wei Zhiqian has the capacity to be so selfless!
“I’m the same as Uncle. I’ve never liked anyone, so I don’t know what it feels like to like someone. Even when Uncle was avoiding me, I only missed him and felt sad that he was avoiding me. But later on, when I thought that my uncle would fall in love and start a family, I felt especially sad. I don’t want my uncle to be with anyone else. I just want to be with my uncle.”
“Momo,” Xu Mingzhen, who had been silent the entire time, said after some deliberation, “Have you ever thought that maybe you would think that way? You’re just afraid that Zhiqian won’t be able to take care of you after he gets married? The two of you can’t always be together like before.”
Hearing the last sentence, the men from the Tan family felt their teeth ache.
It was precisely because they were always together in the past, that Momo had been coaxed by this old man, Wei Zhiqian!
“Zhiqian has his own family. When he has time, he will spend more time with his wife. When he has a child, he will spend more time with the child,” Xu Mingzhen said slowly, “Before that, Zhiqian is the best to you. As long as he has time, he will accompany you. You are used to getting along with Zhiqian. You are used to him thinking of you first.”
“You also know that after he gets married, he definitely won’t have that much time to be with you. That’s why you’re afraid. You don’t want your uncle to fall in love and get married,” Xu Mingzhen said slowly, “This kind of worry isn’t actually out of love.”
“You’ve said it yourself. You’ve never liked anyone before, so you don’t know what it feels like to like someone.” Xu Mingzhen tried his best not to make the Wei family’s two elders and Wei Mingwen unhappy.
After all, Wei Zhiqian was their grandson and son.
Who would want others to say that their grandson or son was not good?
“Did you mistake this feeling for liking someone?” Xu Mingzhen said.
The Tan family’s men nodded at the side.
Tan Wenci: “At crucial moments, you still have to rely on your wife.”
The three Tan brothers: “At crucial moments, you still have to rely on your mother!”
But unexpectedly, Tan Mo wasn’t moved at all.
Tan Mo shook her head decisively, “Although I didn’t have the experience of liking others before, over time, I also have my own judgment. Just like Uncle, he also didn’t have the experience of liking others, but he was still able to realize that he liked me.”
“Not only do I feel sad when I think about Uncle being with others, but I also feel sad when I think about how little time he has to spend with me. More importantly, as soon as I get close to my uncle, my heart will beat faster.”
“I won’t dare to look directly at my uncle. My face will burn up. I won’t dare to be like before when I wasn’t in the mood. I won’t dare to be unbridled when I’m by Uncle’s side.” Tan Mo’s face was extremely red as she spoke.
If it wasn’t for Wei Zhiqian, she wouldn’t be able to say that in front of the elders.
“After that, I can’t hold on to Uncle’s arm like before. Just by walking closer and getting looked at by my uncle, I would feel extremely flustered. I was especially afraid that Uncle would know my thoughts. I felt terrible for a while,” Tan Mo said in a soft voice.
The old lady didn’t want to say anything at first.
After all, she understood the Tan family’s feelings on this matter.
Their beloved little daughter had just come of age and was snatched away by an old man who was almost thirty.
Who would not be angry about this?
Especially since Wei Zhiqian had been Tan Mo’s uncle since he was young.
For many years, the Tan family had unconsciously regarded Wei Zhiqian as Tan Mo’s uncle.
They had never thought of his identity in any other way. They had never thought that one day, the two of them would actually become boyfriend and girlfriend.
It could be said that the Tan family did not think of Wei Zhiqian as a man to guard against, as a man who would snatch away their little princess.
In the end, Wei Zhiqian succeeded because of such negligence!
The Tan family’s depression could be imagined.
It was all because the Tan family was considerate of the Wei family that they did not want to beat Wei Zhiqian with a chair.
Therefore, although the Wei family did not communicate with each other, they did not express their opinions tacitly.
