Chapter 543: Farewell Banquet

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

He had no faith in other guys as he was afraid that those unreliable men would not treat her right.

Since he became her boyfriend, there was no way he would let her do chores like this.

He was determined to pamper her like his queen even more than her family members did.

Otherwise, he would have failed as a boyfriend.

Wei Zhiqian did not see her after throwing away the trash.

Since she was not in the living room, he headed to her room to look for her.

Her door was opened when he arrived.

Nevertheless, he knocked on her door before entering.

“Momo?” Wei Zhiqian called out.

“I’m showering,” Tan Mo replied from the bathroom.

Wei Zhiqian was certain of that fact since he heard the sound of water.

At that moment, both of them recounted the happening in Jiaoyuan City, where they took a shower at the same time.

Their bathrooms were next to each other by pure chance.
There was only a thin wall with almost non-existent soundproof in between.

Tan Mo had slipped and fallen out of nervousness at the time.

Wei Zhiqian remained silent for a while.

Out of the blue, a blatant thought came to his mind.

He wanted to push the door open to get in.

Naturally, Wei Zhiqian kept the indecent thought only to himself.
He would not dare to do it for real.

Otherwise, she would have deemed him a lecherous schmuck.

“Okay.
I didn’t see you around earlier, so I came to check.
I’ll be waiting in the living room.” After speaking, he left Tan Mo’s room and headed to the living room.

Feeling bored, he began to read the script Tan Mo wrote.

After showering, Tan Mo put on her pajamas and came to the living room.

“How much do you have left?” Wei Zhiqian asked while vacating the spot before the laptop for her.

Tan Mo plonked herself on the sofa and replied, “I’m not sure.
But there isn’t much left, so I’ll probably get it done within half an hour.”

“Alright, proceed with your work then.” Wei Zhiqian grumbled in his heart about Tan Jinqi’s consistent effort to put more work on his sister.

Did he have no sympathy for her?

Wei Zhiqian could not sit still while Tan Mo worked on the script.

He slowly moved closer toward her and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Tan Mo was dumbfounded.

But she felt that she could continue her work while ignoring Wei Zhiqian.

A while later, Wei Zhiqian sniffed her hair that was blown dry after the shower.

Although they used the same shampoo, the aroma was more pleasant on her hair.

Tan Mo was at her wit’s end at that moment.

She gradually became distracted from her work.

Wei Zhiqian pecked on her hair and slowly moved toward her hairline, the tip of her brow, and the corner of her eye.

At that, Tan Mo’s ears fluttered a little.

On second glance, the way the tip of her ears moved piqued Wei Zhiqian’s interest.

So, he kissed the glowing and reddish tip of her ear.

Overwhelmed with the stimulation, Tan Mo groaned, “If you continue to do this, I won’t be able to complete my work even after an hour.”

“Do you want me to finish it faster?” Tan Mo asked in resignation.

After contemplation, Wei Zhiqian responded, “Alright, then.
Hurry up and finish it so that I can kiss you.”

Tan Mo was at a loss for words upon hearing that.

Suddenly, she had the urge to drag on the progress of her work because Wei Zhiqian had turned into a big bad wolf trying to prey on her.

“I can’t focus on my work with you being here,” Tan Mo stated.

“Oh well, that’s unfortunate.
The thing is, I can’t move away from this spot.” As Wei Zhiqian spoke, he let go of Tan Mo and stopped hugging her.

Following that, he sat beside her while playing with his phone and stopped bothering her.

So, Tan Mo hurriedly concentrate on her work.

Although he did not interrupt her, his presence was still strong since he was sitting beside her.
As a result, it was still hard for her to focus fully.

However, things were better than before.

Occasionally, she would stop working after losing focus, but he did not think much about it.
He thought she was contemplating something.

Suddenly, Qin Muye called Tan Mo while she was working.

“Muye,” Tan Mo greeted.

“I assume Brother Zhiqian is beside you now, right?” Qin Muye teased in a tone like how a gossiper would speak.

Tan Mo’s face was red up to her ears upon hearing that.
“Yeah.
Are you calling just to ask this, or are you looking for him?”

“Nah.
Just a random question.
I’m not looking for him.” Qin Muye had nothing to talk about with Wei Zhiqian anyway.
She continued, “Qin Murong’s wedding is happening in Nacheng this Saturday.”

“Oh, that was fast.” Tan Mo had let it slip her mind.

“Not really.
It’s been five months since my birthday,” Qin Muye commented.
“Initially, my grandparents wanted her to be married as soon as possible.
However, the Hu family are entrepreneurs.
As people from the south, they are a little superstitious.
They insisted on picking a lucky day for the wedding.
They even hired a fortune teller to do that.

“Knowing Qin Murong’s personality and notorious deeds, they asked the fortune teller for a way to rectify her behavior so that she won’t bring harm to their family.
After dilly-dallying, they’ve finally decided to hold the wedding this Saturday.

“If it weren’t for their discreet attitude toward us, my grandparents would’ve thought that they were scheming to reject Qin Murong by giving all sorts of reason to delay the marriage.

“All things considered, Qin Murong is still our family member.
The news of her getting married to someone from Nacheng will raise many unnecessary speculations.
So, my grandparents decided not to hold the wedding here in B City but only in Nacheng.
We’ll only host a farewell banquet for her here.

“Well, I guess the Hu family will hold a grand wedding to show off to the locals that their son is marrying a member of the Qin family.
So, it’s not half bad for her.
At least she won’t be ashamed.
But only her parents will be there.
The rest of us are not attending.”

Qin Murong’s wedding was somewhat desolate.

Although there would be a grand wedding in Nacheng, she had to bear with having only a private banquet in B City.

Still, she got what she deserved.

“Well, Qin Muxiao is behaving properly lately because of what happened to her sister,” Qin Muye added.
“I’ll finally have my peace after Qin Murong leaves.”

“Although Qin Murong’s marriage has to be kept a low profile, my grandma is holding the banquet at Shengyue Hotel.
After all, she’s still one of us.
We can’t afford to embarrass her before her in-laws when she is already moving to Nacheng, right?

“Well, we’re only inviting those who are close to us among the Eight Great Clans.
So, not everyone will attend the banquet.
Besides, it’s less likely that those who are close to us will spread rumors,” Qin Muye remarked.

“We’re doing this to honor her parents and ensure that her marriage won’t be too shabby.”

Tan Mo bemoaned, “If Qin Muong didn’t come up with all this nonsense, I’m sure your grandparents wouldn’t mistreat her.
They’ll definitely find her a good man and marry her into a prestigious family.”

Qin Muye heaved a deep sigh.
“You said it.
To be frank, she used to be my grandparents’ favorite granddaughter.
She was born the earliest among the three of us.
Qin Muxiao and I are nine years younger than her.
So, my grandparents had been doting on her the whole time before we were born.”

“Qin Muxiao and I are of the same age.
As we grew up, my grandparents loved us equally..
But deep down, I knew that Qin Murong had a special place in their hearts.”
