It didn’t take long for the dressing table to be filled up by Tan Mo’s skincare products.
There wasn’t enough space on the table to store all her things, so Tan Mo brought the acrylic storage boxes from their house next to Beijing University and placed them on the dressing table. She finally managed to pack her cosmetics into the storage boxes that were stacked on top of each other spectacularly.
Even without purchasing anything new, Tan Mo’s presence has already infiltrated every room and corner of the house after she was done. Especially in the study room.
Tan Mo had noticed that the study room was still rather empty, so she decided to start with it first. There wasn’t much to be modified and only needed additional furniture.
The things that Tan Mo had bought previously had already been placed in the room.
Apart from the desk that was already placed according to Tan Mo’s instructions, Wei Zhiqian left the rest of the things for the time being.
He was waiting for Tan Mo’s arrival to determine how they should be arranged.
Thus, after Tan Mo finished unpacking her luggage, she was dragged to the study room by Wei Zhiqian.
“I left it as it as because I don’t know how you want them to be placed,” Wei Zhiqian said. “How do you want to arrange it?”
The decors Tan Mo bought were all very lightweight, and a large portion of them was stuffed toys, so it wouldn’t take much effort to rearrange them.
Tan Mo started with the working desk.
Their computers and chairs were placed slightly displaced from directly facing each other. In this way, there was a lot of space around them, and they could see each other when they raised their heads without anything blocking their sight.
She tried a few more placements with the remaining decorations before she finally decided.
The atmosphere in Wei Zhiqian’s study was originally cold and solemn. One would instantly start to feel weary, stressed, and cold in this space. Thus, their mood wouldn’t be good when working in such an environment.
After Tan Mo’s styling, the entire study became cozier and livelier.
Exhausted from all the tidying work, Tan Mo ran back to the sofa to lie down.
“Auntie will be coming over to cook dinner tonight,” Wei Zhiqian said. “Just like before, she won’t be around for the entire time. She will only come over to clean up and cook when we are eating at home.”
This was the same helper from the house next to Beijing University. She was originally working for Wei Zhiqian here.
However, as Wei Zhiqian went over to the other residence every day and didn’t come back to stay, she only came here to clean up before heading over to clean up and cook dinner for them.
Now that the two of them no longer not live at that place, she also returned to working for this house.
Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo both preferred their privacy. They always felt uncomfortable with outsiders around, hence they did not arrange for her to be around for the entire day.
Tan Mo took a comfortable bath in the bathtub before turning in for the night.
There was also a television installed on the wall facing the bathtub. Tan Mo chose a variety show that she had been watching. She had not had time to watch the latest episode so she decided to catch up on it while taking a bath.
There was a movable table next to the bathtub. Four golden metal legs supported the marble-patterned tabletop. There was a platter of stewed duck dishes on it.
Tan Mo was doing a hand mask. Her hands were coated with a thick layer of hand cream mask underneath the disposable gloves.
It was an extremely relaxing experience, doing a hand mask while taking a bath, and eating stewed duck dishes while watching variety shows.
Tan Mo narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.
She and Wei Zhiqian had used the house next to Beijing University as a temporary residence.
Although that house was bought by Xiao Menghan and given to Wei Zhiqian, both of them still treated it as a temporary residence, so they didn’t purchase additional furniture for it.
Tan Mo didn’t know why, but it felt different moving in here.
It felt as if this was her own home, and she felt completely at ease in here.
Perhaps there was a reason why she kept buying things and sending them over to decorate the place?
Tan Mo did not quite understand.
She simply felt at ease here and treated this place as her home.
Tan Mo remained in the bathtub until the water started to turn cold. She stopped eating and took off her disposable gloves and threw them into the trash can which was filled with the bones she had spat out.
Tan Mo unplugged the tub and went into the shower to rinse off all the foam on her body and washed off the residue from the hand mask.
Her hands were soft and tender after being moisturized by the hand mask.
Tan Mo wrapped up her wet hair and wiped off all the water on her body.
She applied essential oil followed by a layer of moisturizing lotion onto her body before changing into her pajamas.
After that, she stuck a sheet mask onto her face before drying her hair with a hairdryer.
When her hair was still damp, she applied some hair essential oil onto it before continuing to blow it until it was completely dry. She took off the mask and pulled out a face towel. After soaking it wet, she washed off the remaining essence on her face, before heading out of the bathroom and back to Wei Zhiqian’s bedroom to follow up on her skincare.
Tan Mo sat in front of the dressing table for another half an hour before she finally finished all her night skincare routine.
Although she was still young and her skin was naturally good, she still had to take care of it in advance so that her skin condition would deteriorate at a slower rate in the future.
However, snow lotus is known to be good for its beautifying properties which meant that she was already equipped with this sort of ability.
Thus, with both internal and external factors in control, she would be beautiful forever!
Tan Mo cupped her face in satisfaction and squinted her eyes happily.
But she spotted Wei Zhiqian appearing behind her and looking at her through the mirror.
Wei Zhiqian spotted Tan Mo looking at him through in the reflection, the corner of his lips curled up.
He bent down and lowered his head, pressing his thin, hot lips against the corners of Tan Mo’s eyes.
There was still the faint fragrance of the skincare products on Tan Mo’s face. It was a very faint scent and wasn’t too overpowering at all. Wei Zhiqian quite liked it.
But he was sure that this was not Tan Mo’s body fragrance.
Although the faint fragrance of the skincare products on Tan Mo’s face was quite pleasant, Wei Zhiqian still preferred Tan Mo’s body fragrance.
It was a unique faint sweet fragrance.
It was something he had never smelled anywhere else. No matter how expensive the perfume was, regardless if it was in the top, heart, or base notes, there was never such a fragrance.
Wei Zhiqian’s lips slowly and gently brushed against the corners of Tan Mo’s eyes. “Do you still remember what we didn’t finish when you came over on the second day of the Lunar New Year?”
Tan Mo blinked her eyes furiously. She couldn’t help but tremble slightly at his words.
“Wh… what was it regarding…” Tan Mo was too embarrassed to look in the mirror.
Wei Zhiqian chuckled.
His hands moved down from Tan Mo’s shoulders to her waist and he hugged her from behind.
His lips moved along the corners of her lips, up her cheeks to her earlobes, then back down to the corners of her lips.
Finally, he kissed her lips.
“The one where I wanted you to call me Brother Zhiqian in bed,” Wei Zhiqian said between his kisses.
Tan Mo froze.
This man was so straightforward!
But Tan Mo didn’t have time to say anything.. Wei Zhiqian had already carried her in his arms.
