Sometimes, before they even had the chance to go out on a date, Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen would ask them to stay at home to eat together.

Wei Zhiqian was counting the days every day, waiting for Tan Mo to start school.

On Sat.u.r.day, Wei Zhiqian took Tan Mo to buy new clothes for the Chinese New Year.

In fact, the current spring festival had lost quite a bit of its traditional flavor.

In the past, when buying new clothes for the Chinese New Year as a part of the festivities, they also symbolized good fortune for the coming year.

Since their previous economic conditions were not good, they could only take advantage of the Chinese New Year to buy a new set of clothes and be happy.

However, the financial conditions of the Tan family and the Wei family were both top-notch.

Naturally, Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian had never experienced such happiness.

Wei Zhiqian did not like to dress up. He bought clothes purely out of necessity and not because they looked good.

As for Tan Mo, Xu Mingzhen always liked to dress her up, so Tan Mo never lacked new clothes.

She often outgrew her new clothes with their tags complete before she could wear them.

Fortunately, Chinese New Year still felt particularly festive to her back in the day.

Now, Chinese New Year had lost all its flavor. It didn’t matter whether she bought new clothes for it or not.

Tan Mo’s cloakroom was full of clothes with their tags still on

Wei Zhiqian wanted to buy clothes for her because he wanted to dress her up.

He simply wanted her to dress up beautifully.

If Tan Mo hadn’t stopped him, Wei Zhiqian would have wiped out every single store they had visited.

Before they left, Tan Wenci had told them that since they had gone out during the day, they should come home for dinner at night.

It just so happened that the three of them had finished their work and returned home. They would stay at home to rest until the end of the spring festival.

Everyone would have a good meal together.

Naturally, Wei Zhiqian had no objections.

At around half-past five in the afternoon, Wei Zhiqian came back to the Tan family with Tan Mo.

The clothes he bought during the day had been sent to the Tan family after he paid for them, so the two of them came back empty-handed.

The two of them got off the car and walked to the gate of the courtyard. When Tan Mo was about to enter the house, Wei Zhiqian pulled her back.

Wei Zhiqian simply made use of the momentum and pulled Tan Mo to turn around.

Wei Zhiqian took the opportunity to pull her into his arms and pressed his left hand on the back of her waist.

He leaned forward, trying to get closer to Tan Mo.

Unexpectedly, Tan Mo subconsciously took a step back.

Wei Zhiqian did not get anxious.

Although his left hand was pressing on her lower back, he did not use much strength.

As Tan Mo retreated, he moved forward, sticking close to Tan Mo.

Although it was winter, Tan Mo was wearing a cashmere overcoat outside and a thin sweater inside.

Both the cashmere overcoat and the sweater were loose styles.

She was small and dressed in wide clothes, making her look even more pet.i.te and slender.

Even though the cashmere coat looked thin, it was very hard to produce.

It went through dozens of complicated processes, making it light and cold-resistant.

When there was a strong wind in B City, she simply had to b.u.t.ton up the coat and it would be sufficient to keep the cold out.

Even when it was winter in B City, Tan Mo did not need to wear a lot of clothes.

Wei Zhiqian had pulled Tan Mo into his arms and was embracing her tightly. He could sense her warmth and softness in his arms.

Wei Zhiqian smiled when Tan Mo retreated. There was a confident look on his face as he allowed her to retreat little by little.

Before long, Tan Mo had retreated to the pillar beside the main door.

She leaned against the wall and had nowhere to retreat to.

Only then did Wei Zhiqian say softly, “Why are you hiding?”

The moment he opened his mouth, the warmth in his mouth met with the cold air and instantly turned into hot fumes. The white smoke sprinkled onto Tan Mo’s lips, warming her lips and chin which were slightly stiff from the wind.

Tan Mo giggled. Her sneaky smile even had a hint of mischief.

Wei Zhiqian accurately reached his hand out for her waist and encircled her.

Even though she was wearing a sweater, Wei Zhiqian could still find the right spot with great accuracy.

He was now very familiar with every inch of the little girl.

Tan Mo was indeed tickled by his fingertips. She trembled in his arms and leaned against his chest, feeling bored.

“Are you messing with me again?” Wei Zhiqian lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips. “Let me kiss you. I won’t be able to kiss you after we go inside.”

Ever since Tan Mo was on vacation, he could only sneak outside if he wanted to get close to Tan Mo.

Tan Mo’s small face turned red. In this cold winter, her small face was so hot that it was about to smoke.

Wei Zhiqian sighed. “I really want you to start school earlier.”

She could sense his warmth all over her lips. It was warm and soft.

She was small and was completely protected in his arms.

Not a trace of her was exposed.

“Young Master Wei?” A soft pretentious woman’s voice could be heard.

When Tan Mo heard this voice, she frowned.

Wei Zhiqian still had Tan Mo encircled protectively in his arms. When he turned around, he saw Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing.

Wei Zhiqian heard some sounds just now, but he didn’t care. He just thought there were people pa.s.sing by.

Tan Mo’s family were all here.

He held Tan Mo in his arms without showing her face at all.

When Yuan Keqing came over, Wei Zhiqian was not kissing Tan Mo, but just holding her.

He wrapped Tan Mo tightly with his coat holding Tan Mo in his arms.

Tan Mo’s small face was hidden in his chest and blocked by his coat.

No one could see Tan Mo.

Feng Ke’er had secretly taken a photo of her while they were out filming.

Wei Zhiqian couldn’t make such a mistake twice.

However, he didn’t expect Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing to come.

When Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing walked over, Yuan Keqing only saw Wei Zhiqian.

He seemed to be holding a person or something in his arms.

Since not a single strand of Tan Mo’s hair was exposed, Yuan Keqing naturally did not manage to get a close look.

She simply saw it was Wei Zhiqian.

Wei Zhiqian never showed any emotion to her. He had even made her fail the college entrance examination.

Yuan Keqing hated him.

Sadly, Wei Zhiqian had high status and great power.

Yuan Keqing naturally wanted to ingratiate herself on him.

If she could please Wei Zhiqian and make him stop hating her, perhaps he would fall for her and she could replace Tan Mo.

Yuan Keqing did not harbor any hope of winning Wei Zhiqian’s love like Tan Mo.

Things had to be done slowly and nothing could succeed overnight.

After all, Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian had been together for 12 years.

It was a little difficult for Yuan Keqing to catch up now.

Even if Yuan Keqing could only get one-tenth of his attention, it was a kind of progress.

She could work on things and improve their relations.h.i.+p over time as long as she got one-tenth of his attention.

She would eventually catch up and Wei Zhiqian would have the same level of love for her as he did for Tan Mo.

Even if it was just one-tenth of his liking, it was still more than she could ask for and come with a lot of perks.

Would she usually even have the chance to interact with Wei Zhiqian?

The moment Yuan Keqing saw Wei Zhiqian just now, the thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

She had been scheming like that since she was young, let alone now that she had grown up.

Now that she was all grown up, Yuan Keqing finally realized she was not smart enough in the past.
