Chapter 657: Not Fit to Touch Momo!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the past, she should not have gone head-to-head with Wei Zhiqian.

She should not have cried in front of Wei Zhiqian and made him think that she was a shrew.

She should have shown her weak and vulnerable side.

She didn’t know if it was too late to change her tactics now, but she wanted to try.

Wei Zhiqian had already turned around when he heard the noise. His glacial expression became even colder when he saw Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing.

Yuan Keqing took a deep breath and put on a bold front as she went forward.

After taking two steps, she unexpectedly saw a small head poking out from Wei Zhiqian’s arms.

The face looked even paler in the winter, which made the rosy color on her face look even more gorgeous with her eyes misted over.

Tan Mo’s face had always been beautiful.

Yuan Keqing knew this full well.

Owing to her young age, she appeared especially innocent.

Many people were deceived by Tan Mo’s face.

However, at this moment, Tan Mo’s face was innocent yet charming.

The contradictory combination left people incapable of taking their eyes off her.

Fortunately, she was a woman. If she was a man, she wouldn’t be able to resist Tan Mo.

Yuan Keqing was startled when she saw them.

She looked at Wei Zhiqian in shock before looking at Tan Mo.

These two people!

“You… you two…” Xu Mingjing looked absolutely awkward as she looked at Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo in disbelief.

The two of them were still hugging each other.

To be precise, it was Wei Zhiqian holding Tan Mo tightly in his arms.

Only her small face was visible.

Also, it was only visible because Tan Mo took the initiative to reveal herself.

Judging from this intimate posture, they did not seem like an uncle and niece at all!

Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing still did not know about Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo seeing each other.

Although the Ming family wasn’t as good as the eight great families, the Yuan family could not compare to them.

The guests invited to Ming Chengjing’s 100-day banquet were naturally much higher in status than the Yuan family.

Even if the guests went all out and spread the news about Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian dating, it would never have reached the Yuan family’s ears.

The Yuan family simply did not run in the same circles.

Even if it was just gossip, the Yuan family would never learn of it.

After such a long time, they finally came to the Tan residence once more and encountered Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo at the door.

Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing could not help feeling shocked seeing the two of them hugging each other so intimately,

For a moment, they were speechless.

Wei Zhiqian frowned and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

Xu Mingjing acted as if she didn’t hear Wei Zhiqian’s words. “Momo, the two of you… What are you two doing?”

“Why are you hugging each other?” asked Xu Mingjing.

Tan Mo also frowned and said, “The two of us are in a relationship, so it’s normal to hug each other.”

“Isn’t he your uncle?” said Xu Mingjing.

“It’s not like we are biologically related,” Tan Mo explained impatiently to them.

“You… you’re too bold!” Xu Mingjing’s face turned pale. “How could you have done this at the entrance?”

“Do your parents know?” Xu Mingjing took a step forward. “No, come in with me! You had better explain yourselves!”

“How could you do this?”

Wei Zhiqian watched as Xu Mingjing put on an elder’s airs wanting to interfere in Tan Mo’s matters.

Just as Xu Mingjing was about to grab Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian reached out and grabbed her wrist.

On account of Xu Mingzhen and Tan Mo, he did not kick Xu Mingjing away.

How dare she try to grab Tan Mo and teach her a lesson just because she was her elder?

“What are you doing!” Xu Mingjing cried out in pain, “Let go!”

Wei Zhiqian said coldly, “Do you want to touch Momo? Are you fit?”

In a matter of seconds, Xu Mingjing’s face had already turned pale from Wei Zhiqian’s strength.

Even then, Yuan Keqing did not step forward to say a word.

Xu Mingjing was in so much pain that she did not have the time to notice this.

Tan Mo remained in Wei Zhiqian’s arms the whole time. She finally looked at Yuan Keqing with undisguised ridicule.

She even said to Wei Zhiqian, “Uncle, look at Keqing. She’s still hiding behind my aunt.”

Only then did Xu Mingjing come to her senses. Although her wrist was hurting from the grip, she still turned around to look at Yuan Keqing.

Yuan Keqing was filled with hatred.

Indeed, she did not dare to go forward. She was afraid that Wei Zhiqian would vent his anger on her.

Anyone with a brain could tell that Xu Mingjing was Tan Mo’s elder.

Wei Zhiqian did not even bother to be polite to Xu Mingjing, let alone Yuan Keqing.

Even if she went forward, she wouldn’t be of much help.

Why waste her time? It was better to protect herself first.

Yuan Keqing pondered bitterly. Tan Mo simply could not stand her, so she even wanted to sow discord between the mother and daughter.

Xu Mingjing had turned around with her pale face looking a little surprised and disappointed.

Yuan Keqing immediately went forward and held Xu Mingjing’s shoulder. She said to Tan Mo, “My mother is your elder. How dare you hit her?”

Wei Zhiqian sneered and flung Xu Mingjing aside.

Xu Mingjing was pushed back a few steps by this force.

Yuan Keqing was afraid of hurting herself, so she didn’t use any force to block it. She just put her hand on Xu Mingjing’s shoulder and supported her weakly.

When Xu Mingjing moved back, Yuan Keqing moved back as well.

She did not use any strength to support Xu Mingjing at all.

She thought to herself. If Xu Mingjing could not stand properly and fell, she was not going to fall with Xu Mingjing.

Fortunately, Xu Mingjing was able to stand properly.

Yuan Keqing continued to support Xu Mingjing.

“Are you an elder who only knows how to scheme against me?” Tan Mo was still in Wei Zhiqian’s arms.

Her uncle’s embrace made her feel extremely at ease.

Moreover, it was so cold now. She didn’t want to leave her uncle’s embrace at all.

Not only did she not come out, but she even hugged Wei Zhiqian’s waist.

With Wei Zhiqian around, she had nothing to fear.

“I don’t want such an elder,” Tan Mo said bluntly. “No matter who she is, she schemes against me all day long. How could she still have the cheek to call herself my elder? Even if she does, I certainly can’t be bothered with her.”

“If she knew better, she should know what she has done. She should have acted like an elder! When she schemed against me, she said she was an elder, and I deserved it. Now, she puts on the airs of an elder to interfere in my private affairs.” Tan Mo said rudely.

In the past, even if she had shed all pretense of cordiality, the words she said were soft and tactful.

She did not know whether it was owing to Wei Zhiqian’s presence or her own confidence. Perhaps she really didn’t want to endure anymore and had had enough of these three Yuan family members.

In any case, Tan Mo’s words at this moment were very blunt.

“Momo!” Xu Mingjing looked at Tan Mo in shock. “How can you say these words? You’re so impolite!”

“Whether or not Momo is impolite, it’s not up to you to judge.” Wei Zhiqian really felt that this mother and daughter pair were really shameless.

One was more self-righteous than the other.

“It’s almost Chinese New Year. Don’t come to my house and ruin the atmosphere,” Tan Mo said coldly.. “We still want to enjoy the holidays.”
