Tan Mc
She suspected that everyone in the family knew, but she had no proof.
It was not like she could tell them that she would be going back with Wei Zhigian.
Tan Jinqi snickered mentally, “Go on, keep on trying to pretend and hide things! Did they think that everyone else in the family was stupid? You’re out of excuses now, aren’t you!”
Tan Mo could only agree. She said, “Then let brother Zhiqian stay too. It’s so late, I don’t feel at ease letting him go home alone.”
The Tan family members thought to themselves: He’s a full-grown adult! What’s there to worry about?
They don’t believe that Wei Zhiqian had never gone home so late.
‘When Wei Zhigian first entered Wei Feng, he was especially busy.
It wasn’t like he didn’t work late past midnight.
However, the Tan family members felt that they shouldn’t be too much, so they agreed.
Xu Mingzhen made the decision.
“ll get Auntie Guo to tidy up the guest room and let Zhigian stay there.”
There were still two guest rooms even after one of them was converted into a movie room.
Without waiting for Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo to agree, Xu Mingzhen headed out to look for Auntie Guo.
She didn’t give the two of them any more chances to find an excuse to stay together.
As the Tan family was staying up late tonight, Auntie Guo hadn’t slept yet as she was worried that they may need her. Moreover, she had to wait for them to finish watching the drama before she could tidy up the room.
Xu Mingzhen found Auntie Guo in the living room. “Auntie Guo, clean up the guest room. Zhiqian will be staying tonight.”
“Okay.” Auntie Guo nodded.
Xu Mingzhen added in a low voice, “The room furthest from Mo Mo’s room.”
Auntie Guo understood what her intentions were.
Xu Mingzhen knew why Auntie Guo was still awake at this hour. “Don’t worry about the theatre room. It’s fine if you do it tomorrow. You should go and rest after you clean up the guest room,” Xu Mingzhen said.
“Okay,” Auntie Guo answered with a smile and went to prepare the room for Wei Zhiqian.
When Wei Zhigian was led to the guest room by Auntie Guo, he passed by Tan Mo’s room. Then, he found himself walking further and further away and arriving at the guest room that was furthest away from Tan Mo’s bedroom.
Wei Zhigian:
Auntie Guo led Wei Zhigian to his room and went to rest.
However, not long after Auntie Guo left, Tan Jingi came over with a set of pajamas.
“We’re about the same size. You’ll have to make do with my pajamas,” Tan Jingi said.
“Thank you.” Wei Zhigian took it and placed it on his bed. Then, he heard Tan Jingi say, “I don’t close my bedroom door when I sleep. If you need anything, just come find me.”
Wei Zhigian:
Tan Jingi was obviously here to spy on him. Did he think he couldn’t tell?
Tan Mo’s room was not the only one he passed by on the way here with Auntie Guo.
Auntie Guo also introduced Wei Zhigian to the three Tan brothers’ rooms along the way as they walked past them.
Tan Jingi was here to prevent him from secretly going over to find Tan Mo in the middle of the night.
He deliberately left the door open so that he could hear any sound.
“Tm also leaving my door open.” Tan Jinsheng happened to appear at the door of Wei Zhigian’s room when he heard Tan Jingi’s words.
He didn’t even bother looking for an excuse.
In any case, he was just trying to guard against Wei Zhigian.
Wei Zhigian
He had made a mistake in being helpful to Tan Jinsheng earlier.
Tan Jinyi also came and said, “I’m also sleeping with the door open. I’ma light sleeper, and will wake up at the slightest noise.”
So don’t think that you can hide it from me by walking past my door barefooted at night.
An artist’s five senses are very sensitive and sharp.
Wei Zhigian
What a bunch of ungrateful bastards!
Not mentioning Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi, but Kefeng Films had just invested a large sum of money for Tan Jingi to film ‘Broken Continent’.
All that devotion in supporting Tan Jingi’s career, and this was the result?
Wei Zhigian had a fake smile plastered on his face.
So what if he was feeling depressed? He still had to continue smiling at his brothers-in-law and even thank them!
“Tknow, thank you.”
Wei Zhigian had never suffered such a grievance in his life!
Tan JIngi and the other two finally left.
Wei Zhigian closed the door in frustration and let out a breath.
It’s only one night and he hadn’t reached such a stage where he didn’t know what sort of conduct was unsuitable.
This was not appropriate to secretly go and find Tan Mo in the Tan Mansion.
Wei Zhigian went to take a shower, washed up, changed into his pajamas, and went to bed.
Although he did not plan to look for Tan Mo, being under the same roof and on the premises of the Tan Mansion made it impossible for Wei Zhigian to fall asleep.
It was not because he had bed recognition habits, after all, he often went on business trips and had to adapt to various environments which did not allow him to develop such a delicate habit.
Tan Mo had just laid down when she received a video call from Wei Zhigian.
She did not expect that the two of them would have to rely on a video call to meet even though they were living under the same roof.
After the call was connected, she saw Wei Zhigian’s helpless expression. “Your brothers won’t even close their doors to sleep tonight. I reckon that they will stay up all night because they are afraid that I will go over and look for you.”
Wei Zhigian had guessed correctly.
Tan Jinyi really intended to stay up all night.
As Tan Jingi and Tan Jinsheng still had matters to discuss with the ‘Singing Voice’ program team, they needed to rest up. They couldn’t afford to stay up all night.
Especially Tan Jingi. It was fine if he was feels fatigued, but he was more concerned that he wouldn’t be able to help Tan Jinysheng if he didn’t have enough rest and wasn’t able to react fast enough. If he made mistakes in his words and actions, he would be a burden to Tan Jinsheng.
Hence, he did not dare to stay up all night.
Tan Jinsheng had thought the same.
Since they were going to talk discuss important matters, they had to rest up and be in their best conditions.
However, this did not stop them from guarding against Wei Zhigian.
Tan Jingi had a lot of gadgets left behind by the film crew.
Some of the big items could be rented, but some items were not very cost-effective if they were to be rented. It would be better to just purchase them because they might even be useful for filming in the future.
The gadget left behind by Tan Jingi was a small infrared machine.
Although it was called a machine, it was only the size of a palm.
It was like a small bell with a base.
Put It in the corner of the wall, turn on the switch, and an infrared ray would shoot out.
As long as someone passed by, even if they did not pass through the infrared ray directly, the gadget would sense the changes in the surrounding temperature and send out a reminder on the small machine placed at the Tan Jingi’s bedside.
Tan Jingi’s room was also the first line of defense that Wei Zhigian had to pass to reach Tan Mo’s room.
As soon as Wei Zhigian passed by, Tan Jingi would receive the reminder immediately.
This way, he could sleep at ease.
Tan Jinsheng didn’t have such devices, so he could only do it manually.
He pasted a layer of transparent tape between the two walls of the corridor.
Infrared light was easy to see in a dark room, especially at night.
But the transparent tape was different.
It was completely invisible.
It would be stuck onto your leg the moment you tripped over it.
Tan Jinsheng gave himself a thumbs up for his wit while secretly setting up his trap in the dark..
