Chapter 425: Wei Zhiqian, Was That Scheming?

It attracted the attention of Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing, who turned around.
Why did Tan Mo’s tone sound like she was unwilling to see Wei Zhiqian?
Qin Muye looked to Ming Yeqing and asked softly, “What is with Momo and Brother Zhiqian? Have they yet to reconcile?”
When Wei Zhiqian was unwilling to see Tan Mo, Tan Mo had been angry with Wei Zhiqian.
However, had she not simmered down?
Ming Yeqing was also full of curiosity, but he thought that Tan Mo did not seem to be angry.
These two were really interesting.
There was a hint of a smile in Ming Yeqing’s eyes. He said, “I don’t know, we can ask her later.”
Qin Muye nodded. She was unable to guess the reason, so they could only do that.
“Why?” Wei Zhiqian was also shocked. Why did Tan Mo seem to be against him coming to see her?
“Erm…” Tan Mo realized that she had overreacted and guiltily tucked the strand of hair that did not fall out of place behind her ear. “I… I am walking toward the restaurant with Muye and Ah-Qing, and I am not at school anymore. Don’t rush over. It is too far.”
Wei Zhiqian fell silent for quite a while.
It resulted in Tan Mo feeling especially nervous. Her heart rate sped up.
“Alright.” Wei Zhiqian agreed.
Tan Mo could not help but ask in concern, “Do you still have a lot of work to do?”
“It’s okay. I wanted to eat with you and return to the company to continue it,” Wei Zhiqian said. “Since you already made plans with Muye and Ah-Qing…”
Wei Zhiqian followed Tan Mo and addressed Ming Yeqing that way.
“I will continue with my work and eat after I am done.” Wei Zhiqian did not pretend to be pitiful on purpose. His voice and tone sounded normal.
She did not know why, but Tan Mo felt that he was pitiful.
Her heart ached.
“How is that okay? Even if you have unfinished work, you still have to eat on time. After you are done, it is okay to continue with work,” Tan Mo said. “It is alright even if you eat a simple meal.”
“You know me. I like to finish my work in a go and don’t like to stop in the middle,” Wei Zhiqian said. “I like to finish work and feel relaxed. Otherwise, even if I am eating, I will still think about working after eating.”
“If you came to eat with me, wouldn’t you have to interrupt your work too?” Tan Mo asked.
“You are different,” Wei Zhiqian said softly.
These words entered her ears. Tan Mo’s ears turned red.
Her heart rate suddenly sped up.
“However, if you meet me, you have to spend a lot of time on the road, and it will be very late when you return to the company after eating. It is also a peak period now on the road, and the jam is severe. I looked at the GPS map, and it is all red.” Tan Mo advised softly, “Uncle, you… You have to quickly finish work at the company so you can rest well.”
Wei Zhiqian wondered if Tan Mo did not want him to come eat with her because of that.
He was not fully convinced, but he still said, “Okay.”
Tan Mo sighed in relief and instructed again, “You must eat on time.”
“Okay.” Wei Zhiqian agreed again.
Tan Mo was more at ease.
“Quickly go to work and stop chatting with me. Finish your work early so that you can rest early.” Tan Mo thought of something and asked, “Was it because you accompanied me for the whole yesterday that you have a lot of work today?”
“Don’t think too much.” Wei Zhiqian paused and added, “Accompanying you is more important than work. It is the same if I finish yesterday’s work today.”
In “100 Clever Flirting Tips for You,” it was mentioned that one’s efforts must be known to the other party for them to be touched.
It was useless if efforts were made but nothing was communicated.
Wei Zhiqian not only learned it, but he had also gone above and beyond.
He could not let Tan Mo feel that he was someone who would neglect work to pacify a girl.
He remembered that Tan Mo had looked down on Jiang Siyong because of that.
Thus, he had to let Tan Mo know that he had specially arranged a time for her. Now, he had to make up for the lost time from the day before.
Tan Mo replied in a panic, “Why you are still chatting with me? Quickly, go to work! Tonight you won’t have to burn the midnight oil, right?”
“I will try not to,” Wei Zhiqian said.
“Let’s not talk anymore. Quickly get to work,” Tan Mo said hurriedly. “Goodbye, Uncle.”
“Alright.” Wei Zhiqian’s voice was clear and gentle. “Goodbye.”
They hung up.
Qin Muye heard Tan Mo’s and Wei Zhiqian’s conversation from the side. It seemed that neither of them was angry anymore.
“Have you reconciled with Brother Zhiqian?” Qin Muye asked.
Tan Mo nodded. “I was too willful before and threw a tantrum. He explained everything to me and spent time with me the entire day yesterday.”
“Right…” Tan Mo said, “We went to an escape room yesterday, and it was quite fun. It was just that the room with the horror theme was a little too scary. Luckily, he was around, or I would have cried inside.”
Ming Yeqing raised his brows. He didn’t expect that Wei Zhiqian was that scheming.
He knew to take Tan Mo to an escape room with a horror theme.
Qin Muye’s nerves were not better than Tan Mo’s.
Both of them were about the same.
If Tan Mo was that scared, Qin Muye would not be much better.
Ming Yeqing thought that he should also take Qin Muye there. It would reduce the distance between them.
Wei Zhiqian’s idea was quite good.
Although Wei Zhiqian was a bit stupid in terms of romance, his bad… No, his good ideas were impressive.
Could it be that Wei Zhiqian was enlightened since he took Tan Mo to a horror-themed escape room?
Had he finally faced his feelings toward Tan Mo?
Ming Yeqing was full of curiosity and wanted to know the answer.
However, he was afraid he would not be able to learn it from Tan Mo.
Tan Mo did not know Wei Zhiqian’s intentions.
It was better if he asked Wei Zhiqian later.
“Was it that scary?” Qin Muye had a curious expression. It was obvious she was curious but also afraid.
“Uh-huh!” Tan Mo nodded.
However, she had closed her eyes throughout and was not able to tell Qin Muye much useful information.
Tan Mo could only tell Qin Muye how her teammates screamed and got scared. Even an experienced player like Fang Shuyang was so scared that he did not dare to come out.
“I will not tell you the details. Otherwise, if you go, it would not be fun if you knew everything,” Tan Mo said pretentiously.
She would not say that she did not dare to open her eyes at all, so she did not know anything.
How could she possibly share such a shameful thing?
Moreover, it was Wei Zhiqian who had solved the riddles and found the clues. She did not have the chance to participate.
