Tan Mo couldn’t sleep either after sending Wei Zhiqian off.

She still wanted to wait for Wei Zhiqian to return to the old residence and send him a message to confirm that he had arrived home safely.

At about 2:20 am, Tan Mo received a message from Wei Zhiqian.

He had already arrived at the old residence.

“Alright.” Tan Mo immediately replied.

Wei Zhiqian asked, “Are you still awake?”

Tan Mo replied, “I wanted to wait for you to get home.”

Wei Zhiqian did not expect Tan Mo to still be awake. He had only sent Tan Mo a WeChat message the moment he entered the old residence without expecting her to reply.

He only needed to wait for Tan Mo to wake up in the morning to see it.

However, he did not expect the little girl had been waiting for him the entire time.

Wei Zhiqian felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.

It was as if the sun was shining inside and a warm current swept through his heart gradually.

Wei Zhiqian had just entered the door and was still at the entrance. He did not even bother to change his shoes and said to Tan Mo, “Go to sleep.”

Tan Mo sent him a voice message. “Good night, Uncle.”

It felt better hearing Tan Mo’s voice than seeing a cold text message.

Although her voice was soft, it was gentle.

Wei Zhiqian placed his phone to his ear and listened as if Tan Mo was whispering in his ear.

Wei Zhiqian smiled, but he wasn’t in a hurry.

He changed his shoes first and went back to the bedroom. Then, he said to Tan Mo, “Good Night.”

Tan Mo was still thinking about Wei Zhiqian. Even if Wei Zhiqian told her to sleep, she couldn’t fall asleep.

She lay in bed and kept thinking about Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Mo was still thinking that when the next semester came, she wouldn’t have so many classes anymore. She might as well discuss with her uncle and move to Wei Zhiqian’s house near the company.

It would also prevent Wei Zhiqian from driving so long to Beijing University to look for her every day.

With this thought in mind, Tan Mo couldn’t wait to wait until daybreak to quickly tell Wei Zhiqian.

She wanted to sleep quickly. When she opened her eyes again, she would be able to see Wei Zhiqian.

After telling herself this, she tried her best to fall asleep.

Wei Zhiqian came very early in the morning.

Since she knew someone would come to pay a new year call, Tan Mo was embarrassed to stay in bed as usual.

What if someone came early to pay a new year call, but she was still sleeping? How embarrassing would that be?

Before Tan Mo went to bed, she deliberately set an alarm clock.

At 7:00 am, the alarm rang.

She tried hard to sleep last night, but she was sleepless. In the end, she only slept for slightly over four hours, so she had a lot of trouble waking up. It simply felt awful.

Tan Mo lay in bed. She wiped her face and stretched lazily.

She forcibly swallowed the discomfort of not having enough sleep before struggling to get up and wash up.

Since people were coming to pay new year’s respects, Tan Mo couldn’t wear home clothes.

She changed into the clothes Wei Zhiqian had bought for her during the spring festival when she went shopping with Wei Zhiqian.

As soon as she went downstairs, she smelled the fragrance of dumplings.

There was a familiar voice among the fragrance.

Tan Mo was originally still sleepy and didn’t wake up completely. She held onto the handrail of the stairs and staggered down the stairs.

When she heard this voice, she immediately woke up.

In an instant, she naturally stopped swaying as she walked.

She walked down the stairs in high spirits.

“Uncle!” When Tan Mo came down, she saw Wei Zhiqian sitting in the living room.

The voice that she heard just now was Wei Zhiqian’s.

When she couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, she thought that it would be great if she could see Wei Zhiqian the moment she woke up.

She didn’t expect to see him the moment she woke up.

Wei Zhiqian stood up and smiled as he reached out his hand to Tan Mo.

Tan Mo ran over like a little bird and directly handed her hand to Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Wenci, Tan Jinyi, and Tan Jinsheng felt sad watching from the side.

Tan Mo came over as if she didn’t see them.

She only had eyes for Wei Zhiqian and came straight for him.

Why was there only Tan Wenci, Tan Jinyi, and Tan Jinsheng?

Tan Jinqi was cooking dumplings in the kitchen.

Xu Mingzhen was in the living room.

Tan Wenci couldn’t help but cough a few times.

Tan Zhan said, “Momo, we’re here too.”

“I saw you.” Tan Mo was still holding Wei Zhiqian’s hand. “I didn’t expect to see my uncle the moment I woke up. It’s such a surprise.”

Tan Jinsheng said with a bitter expression, “So, are you tired of seeing us every day?”

Tan Mo went quiet.

This question was not easy to answer.

Tan Mo changed the topic. “Is big brother cooking dumplings in the kitchen?”

“Yeah, I can’t let your mother do it, right?” Tan Wenci said.

There were not many other things in the Tan family, but there were many men.

If there was work, it would naturally be done by men.

Usually, they would not be able to even cook.

However, the dumplings were already cooked and just needed some warming up.

All they needed to do was boil the water and put the dumplings in to reheat them.

It was such a simple matter. Tan Wenci would definitely do it.

“Zhiqian, you’re here so early. What time did you wake up?” Tan Wenci also felt resentful. “It’s the Chinese New Year, so there’s no need to work so hard.”

“I missed Momo,” Wei Zhiqian said with a smile.

At this moment, Tan Jinqi took out all the dumplings and placed them on the dining table.

Everyone went to eat the dumplings first.

Wei Zhiqian said, “Dad, Mom, I want to bring Momo to each family to wish them a happy new year later.”

“Sure,” Xu Mingzhen agreed readily.

In the past, it was Tan Wenci and his sons who went to wish their friends and family a happy new year. Xu Mingzhen and Tan Mo did not show up.

When other people came to pay a new year’s visit, there was no need for Tan Mo to entertain them.

Tan Mo had nothing to do, so it was quite alright for her to go with Wei Zhiqian.

Xu Mingzhen also knew Tan Mo would be following Wei Zhiqian to pay a new year’s visit to the other seven families.

If Tan Mo wanted to marry Wei Zhiqian, she had to change her ways and go beyond knowing a few of Wei Zhiqian’s circle casually.

She had to get to know them well.

Tan Mo also had to get to know Wei Zhiqian’s friends and interact with them more.

It wasn’t just that.

She also hoped Tan Mo could be accepted by the other seven families.

In the past, the other seven families only treated Tan Mo as Wei Zhiqian’s favorite junior.

The Tan family didn’t care whether Tan Mo was close or not.

In any case, it was all on account of Wei Zhiqian’s social status.

But in the future, if Tan Mo wanted to marry Wei Zhiqian, she would be the next wife of the Wei family head.

Although she didn’t need the approval of the other seven families, it would be better if the other seven families could have a good impression of Tan Mo.

Now, it was naturally good for Wei Zhiqian to bring Tan Mo.

Xu Mingzhen didn’t stop him. She even secretly kicked Tan Wenci’s toes under the table, asking him not to stop him.

Even without Xu Mingzhen’s reminder, Tan Wenci wouldn’t stop her.

It did not matter if Tan Wenci usually complained about Wei Zhiqian.

When it came to major matters, Tan Wenci could not hold Tan Mo back.

He could not help but say to Wei Zhiqian, “Then take good care of Momo today.”

Even if he did not say anything, Wei Zhiqian would definitely protect Tan Mo.

However, Tan Wenci had trouble feeling assured.

His daughter had to leave home in time. She had to delve deeper into the broader and more complicated family relationships.

Even if Wei Zhiqian protected her, Tan Wenci couldn’t be completely at ease.

“I will,” Wei Zhiqian said.. “Those people from the seven other families whom we have close ties with are very good in nature, just like my grandparents.”
