“This…” Jiang Siyong felt reluctant as he stared at Tan Mo’s little face.
Even though Tan Mo seemed to be very complicated, he was having a hard time letting go of her due to her beautiful countenance.
What’s more, the fact that Tan Mo had a crafty personality made him like her even more.
“Young Master Wei, this is too cruel,” Jiang Siyong protested. “Even if Tan Mo doesn’t like me, she might fancy someone else. And if you don’t approve of him, what happens? When you like someone, you sometimes don’t pay attention to the rules.”
“Our Mo Mo is very intelligent and doesn’t make stupid mistakes,” Wei Zhiqian said, as he scoffed with disdain.
Jiang Siyong: “…”
Tan Mo’s head peeked out from behind Wei Zhiqian. “That’s right. I believe in everything Uncle says. If Uncle says something is bad, I definitely wouldn’t fancy it. Uncle must approve.”
Wei Zhiqian was extremely grateful to hear her say that.
The Tan family had struggled so hard with their three sons and then had produced such a daughter. Everything made sense now.
Daughters were the best!
She was such a considerate little bundle of joy.
In the future, he also wanted a daughter.
Wei Zhiqian glanced backward with a grin. He stared at Tan Mo warmly.
He extended a hand and stroked Tan Mo on the head. “I will be the best gatekeeper for you.”
He would be a strict gatekeeper!
“Don’t ever let me hear of you hitting on Mo Mo again,” Wei Zhiqian cautioned Jiang Siyong icily. “Don’t you dare to appear in front of her again or harass her in any way. And don’t think that you can insist that you’re simply trying to pursue her.”
Wei Zhiqian had blocked all the loopholes Jiang Siyong might try to exploit. “And I shall go and have a good chat with Jiang Jiamao.”
Jiang Siyong was naturally aware of what this chat would be about. His legs turned to jelly as he stood before Wei Zhiqian.
It didn’t matter how Wei Zhiqian was going to initiate this chat. He knew that he wasn’t going to use only words.
What’s more, Jiang Jiamao would find out that he had provoked Wei Zhiqian because of a woman.
If that happened, his life would be as good as over.
“Understand?” Wei Zhiqian asked in an ice-cold tone.
“Under…understood.” Jiang Siyong didn’t want to stutter. However, this time it was beyond his control.
“Since you’ve already understood, get lost,” Wei Zhiqian muttered.
Jiang Siyong was about to get into his car. He glanced at the rear of the car, which had been wrecked to the point where it was now unrecognizable. His heart ached and bled.
“Contact Zhou Jingan, he’ll compensate you for the repair fees,” Wei Zhiqian added.
Jiang Siyong shivered. He immediately replied, “No…no need. I…have insurance.”
After he said this, Jiang Siyong quickly got into the car and drove off.
He no longer had any plans to hit on Tan Mo.
Wei Zhiqian made a series of calls and got someone to tow his car away to the mechanic.
“Uncle, why are you here?” Tan Mo hugged Wei Zhiqian’s arm.
Wei Zhiqian was aware that Tan Mo had come of age, and there would definitely be people in school who were interested in her. Hence, he had especially made a trip to visit Tan Mo.
However, he’d bumped into Jiang Siyong even before he’d had a chance to see if any student was wooing her.
“It just so happened that work ended early today. I was planning to have dinner with you,” Wei Zhiqian explained. It wasn’t exactly a lie.
He had been planning to check to see if there were any students wooing Tan Mo. At the same time, he thought he would also have dinner with her.
“That’s great. We were just going to eat at the newly opened BBQ restaurant near school,” Tan Mo said happily. “Uncle can come with us.”
“That works just fine.” Wei Zhiqian smiled and nodded his head. “My car has just been towed. I wouldn’t be able to travel very far even if I wanted to.”
Hence, Wei Zhiqian followed them to that newly opened BBQ restaurant.
Since it was just a stone’s throw away, it was faster to walk than to drive.
At this BBQ restaurant, a small charcoal stove had been placed in the middle of each table. A fixed frame supported the stove and customers could roast their own skewers.
A grill was placed on top of the stove, which allowed people to barbecue their own pieces of meat or seafood.
An exhaust hood was situated above the grill, which removed the smoke from the barbecue. This way, the indoor area would be well ventilated and the experience wouldn’t leave much of a greasy odor on their clothes.
The BBQ restaurant wasn’t very big. When they arrived, there was only one table left. The other tables were all occupied.
The entire restaurant was filled with the fragrance of barbecued meat, as well as the sound of people chatting. It was a bustling scene.
Thankfully, Ming Yeqing had called in advance to reserve a table for them.
Even though Tan Mo had been pampered growing up, she was not put off by such a hot, smoky restaurant at all.
When Wei Zhiqian was still going to school, he’d eaten at the canteen for most of his meals. Hence, he didn’t mind such a small restaurant either.
However, Wei Zhiqian had just come from work.
He was still dressed in a suit, which made him look extremely formal.
It was a hand-tailored suit. Even someone who didn’t know anything about suits would be able to tell that this was an expensive outfit.
Wei Zhiqian didn’t seem to care. He removed his jacket and tossed it casually onto a stool. He loosened his collar and undid a few buttons, exposing his neck.
He wasn’t worried that his expensive clothes would be ruined by the smoke.
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his sturdy wrists.
As he distributed the plates and cutlery to Tan Mo and her two friends, prominent veins popped up in his hands as he moved.
He was extremely seductive and masculine.
Since his tie and collar had been loosened, the stern, solemn vibes he emanated when he first walked in had dissipated. He instantly appeared more casual and uninhibited.
Most of the customers in the stalls were students from the nearby universities.
There were couples, and there were also tables that were either full of guys or full of girls.
At a glance, Tan Mo and her two friends were the only students from Beijing University.
The other students were all from other universities.
The moment they entered, they had caught the eyes of many people.
Tan Mo was sweet, while Qin Muye was pretty and delicate. Each of them carried themselves differently.
The boys had already secretly started discussing which one they fancied more.
On the other hand, the girls were attracted to Wei Zhiqian and Ming Yeqing.
Ming Yeqing was still quite young, and he didn’t have the charm that most mature men possessed.
His pretty boy appearance was completely eclipsed by Wei Zhiqian.
Since many of the girls were hanging out with their close friends, they were bolder with their choice of words. They had no scruples about expressing their true feelings.
When they saw Wei Zhiqian walk in, some girls whispered boldly to their companions, “Look at that man. He is so hot. I feel like helping him take off his suit.”
However, once Wei Zhiqian removed his jacket and loosened his collar, these same girls couldn’t help but gasp.
“F*ck, he looks so princely!”
“I really…want to remove his shirt as well.”
“Pervert!”
“Just admit it, you have the same thoughts.”
“Fine, I’ll admit it.”
The restaurant was quite noisy, and they were whispering.
Tan Mo and her group didn’t hear them.
Wei Zhiqian would never deliberately eavesdrop on the conversations of other people. He wasn’t interested in what strangers had to say either.
