But at this moment, the old lady couldn’t help but be curious.
She fidgeted on the chair and asked, “That is to say, when Zhiqian liked you, you also liked him, but the two of you didn’t know that.”
Tan Mo’s face was red, but she still nodded firmly.
“Then how did the two of you find out that you like each other?” Xiao Menghan couldn’t help but lean forward to ask. Her eyes were full of curiosity and a little anxiety.
“It’s… It’s my great-grandma who asked Grandpa Zhu to send me a message. She asked me to tell Uncle that if he hasn’t found a girlfriend this year, he shouldn’t go back to the old mansion during the holidays.” Tan Mo twisted her fingers. Tan Mo felt like her head was going to explode when she said this in front of the elders, but she had to say it.
“Momo.” Wei Zhiqian sat over again and held Tan Mo’s hand.
There was no need for her to say these things.
“I want to say it.” Tan Mo turned his head to look at Wei Zhiqian stubbornly. “This isn’t about Uncle alone. I’m with you, so I can’t push everything onto you.”
Tan Mo’s eyes were clear, as if they had been washed by water. They were abnormally clean.
Such a pair of eyes was filled with persistence and protection for Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian’s heart swelled.
But he was so much older than her, and he had always been protecting her.
How could there be such a thing as a little girl like her protecting him?
But Tan Mo was so persistent, and her eyes were fixed on him.
It made Wei Zhiqian speechless.
His throat was a little sore, and his protruding Adam’s apple moved up and down.
The little girl also wanted to protect him.
He understood.
For this, he did not hesitate to dissect his inner feelings in front of the elders.
“The more I think about it, the sadder I feel. I think that even if my uncle doesn’t have a family now, he will eventually still have a family. He is shouldering the responsibility of the Wei family, and it is not just his personal problem. I cannot willfully request my uncle to never get married and never talk about his girlfriend.”
Tan Mo thought about how uncomfortable he felt at that time, and her nose felt a little sore.
Tan Mo didn’t dare to say that she had drunk alcohol and charged at Wei Zhiqian in a drunken stupor, “I don’t know what happened at that time either. It was as if there was a rush of heat in my head. I didn’t think of anything else and directly cried at Uncle, saying that I didn’t want him to marry someone else and that I didn’t want him to find someone else to be his girlfriend. And that if he wants to find a girlfriend, I… I can be his girlfriend.”
“Momo, that’s enough.” Wei Zhiqian held Tan Mo’s hand tightly.
The little girl was very brave today, and she had said enough.
Any more, and the little girl would be so embarrassed that she would cry.
“I only knew then that Momo also liked me.” Wei Zhiqian looked at the six elders sincerely. “I only knew then that she had been holding it in her heart, and it must have been so uncomfortable for her.”
“We expressed our feelings to each other and got together.” Wei Zhiqian lowered his head and smiled at Tan Mo.
Tan Mo also raised her head and looked at Wei Zhiqian. Her face and eyes were full of dependence on Wei Zhiqian.
The Tan family members didn’t just have a toothache, their eyes also hurt.
They couldn’t bear to look!
“You two are almost the same!” Tan Wenci said in a bad mood, “Why are you flirting in front of the elders!”
Only then did the two of them stop looking at each other.
Wei Zhiqian’s eyes were especially clear, and he didn’t dare to act rashly.
“Uncle, auntie, please let me be with Momo,” Wei Zhiqian said solemnly, “I am a little older than Momo, but I didn’t go overboard. Nine years old is not an exaggerated age.”
“Besides, because I am a little older than Mo Mo, I am more mature, and I can take better care of Momo and protect her.” Wei Zhiqian looked at Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen.
As for the two elders and Wei Mingwen, he wasn’t worried at all.
They wouldn’t have any objections.
“But Momo is only 18 years old!” Tan Wenci said through gritted teeth.
His daughter was as young as a flower, but she was coaxed away by Wei Zhiqian!
“Dad, but I’m going to have to date and fall in love sooner or later,” Tan Mo said softly.
“But it’s still too early!” Tan Jinqi said.
“It’s not early.” Tan Mo pouted. “Although I became a freshman at 15, my classmates were already 18 or 19 years old. They’re all in love in their freshman year.”
Tan Wenci felt terrible.
They were in love, not his daughter!
Besides, when they were in love, they were looking for people of the same age. How could they be like Tan Mo!
“You don’t know. Those people are childish when they’re in love. The boys don’t know how to let the girls go. The girls bring lunch for the boys, buy water and send snacks to the stadium. They even stay up all night knitting scarves for the boys. When the girls are sick, their boyfriends are still playing games, and they only tell them to drink more hot water.”
“They can’t even compare to my uncle,” Tan Mo mumbled.
Tan Wenci: “…”
Although what Tan Mo said made sense.
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, even a twenty-year-old boy, was only a child.
He hadn’t grown up yet, so his temperament was much more childish than girls his age.
Many of them still didn’t understand what responsibility was, what tolerance was, and what caring was.
Boys at that age had broken the hearts of countless girls.
“Then you can wait until you’re older, twenty… Twenty-five, six, seven, or eight years old before you start dating!” Tan Wenci said.
Tan Mo thought in her heart that if she went according to Tan Wenci’s five, six, seven, or eight-year-old waiting method, he might be able to drag it out until she was thirty-five, six, seven, or eight years old.
“Oh, in-laws, this won’t do.”The old lady sighed.
Everyone in the Tan family was stunned by the old lady’s call of in-laws.
Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi were still young, but the old lady’s words made their minds go blank, and they couldn’t react for a long time.
Tan Jinqi’s reaction was a little faster than his two younger brothers, but he was still a step slower than Tan Wenci.
Tan Wenci was the first to react, but he couldn’t say anything.
What could he say?
It’s not like he can be impolite and say, “Who are your in-laws?”?
The old lady really doted on Tan Mo.
The Wei family was celebrating for Tan Mo on this very day.
He could not be heartless.
In the end, Tan Wenci was just a step behind, but the old lady beat him to it. “You can’t drag it out until Zhiqian’s age and then rush to introduce him to some blind date. In the end, he doesn’t even like any of them.”
“You have to take advantage of their young age to let your child meet more people, date, and confirm their relationship. Only when the relationship is stable will it be easier to get married. You can’t wait until you’re old enough to realize that your child is still single and doesn’t even have a partner, and then rush to introduce her to people, right?”
“The introduction at that time will be to get married for the sake of getting married. They meet once, feel that it’s suitable, and keep in touch with each other. And they feel that it’s enough, so they just make do with it. Will that work? We pampered and spoiled the little girl. We can’t let her make do so easily.”
“Also, as the child grows older, she’ll meet more people.. If she is still single, she might feel that being single is good and not want to get married anymore!”
