Chapter 356: None Good Enough
The problem was that Wei Zhiqian wasn’t attracted to any women, even when they had a gorgeous face or a perfect body.
Yet Wei Zhiqian also knew for a fact that he was straight.
If one were to say that he was uninterested in women, then he was even more uninterested in men.
“Then what the h*ll have you been working on lately?” Qin Mufeng asked. “We used to hang out on most weekends.”
“Do you have some snacks in here?” Wei Zhiqian replied to the question with another question. “I’m hungry.”
They were now on their way to the hot springs villa.
Since they had had to take the highway and since it was the rush hour, they were stuck in traffic.
Wei Zhiqian even wondered if they would be able to make it in two hours.
It was going to take a long time before they could reach their destination.
“Yeah, I have some in the glove box in front of you,” Qin Mufeng replied. “Those are some of Muye’s favorites, so I’m not sure if you’ll like them or not.”
“It shouldn’t be a problem. Mo Mo has the same taste as Muye anyway. I see them introducing new snacks to each other a lot, and I’ve tried some of them. To be honest, they taste pretty good,” Wei Zhiqian said as he opened the glove box.
There was a box inside that had been divided into six columns.
Each of them had a different type of snack in them.
The first one was fruit-flavored gummies.
The next one was cola-flavored gummies.
Then there were spicy marinated chicken legs.
There was also a column of honey-glazed pork jerky.
The last two columns were coconut-flavored pastries and spicy chips.
Wei Zhiqian took a packet of the coconut-flavored pastries and opened it. “Seriously, if a lady ever sits here and opens the glove box, she’ll think that you love to snack or something.”
“Well, it’s not like I’ll let just anyone sit in the passenger seat anyway.” Qin Mufeng laughed. To him, the passenger seat was reserved solely for his family and close friends, and perhaps the girlfriend who he would want to marry.
Wei Zhiqian took a bite of the pastry before he started to do some explaining. “Mo Mo is an adult now. There are a lot of male students trying to ask her out. For example, on the first Monday after her 18th birthday, Jiang Siyong waylaid her at school to try to force her to go out with him.” Wei Zhiqian was still annoyed whenever he thought of that.
“Who the heck is Jiang Siyong?” Qin Mufeng asked. For the heir of the Qin family, he would never remember a nobody like Jiang Siyong.
“The one from the Jiang family? They held a party next to Mo Mo’s that Friday. Don’t you remember? I wonder what happened back then? He went to ask Mo Mo out a few days later,” Wei Zhiqian explained. “That b*stard has dated a ton of models and celebrities. Pretty much a piece of trash, I would say. What gave him the idea that he’s good enough to date Mo Mo?”
Wei Zhiqian took another bite of his snack before continuing, “But, it’s also thanks to him that I realized Mo Mo is an adult now. There are already more than enough guys at Beijing University who want to date Mo Mo. There’s no way I can let anyone approach Mo Mo whenever they want, right? That’s why her three brothers and I all came to an agreement to watch out for anyone who tries to talk to her. We’ll do a background check on anyone before we allow him to even get close to her.”
As Wei Zhiqian explained this, he finished the coconut-flavored pastry.
“There’s a plastic bag next to you,” Qin Mufeng said.
Wei Zhiqian reached for it, untied it, and threw the packaging of the pastry in before taking a piece of the honey-glazed pork jerky and starting to eat it.
Even though he wasn’t hungry anymore, he was still tempted by all the food in front of him.
Qin Mufeng took a glance at his best friend and laughed. HAH! “Look at yourself. What would a lady think if she could see you munching on snacks nonstop?”
“Well, there isn’t any lady to watch me, is there?” Wei Zhiqian said as he took a big bite out of the jerky. “For convenience’s sake, I’ve decided to move into my apartment next to the campus.”
Qin Mufeng couldn’t help but turn and stare at his best friend.
Do you really have to go to that extreme?
“But aren’t all the students of Beijing University the best in the country? Do you have to worry this much?” Qin Mufeng asked.
“Well, what if Muye was in Mo Mo’s shoes? What if one of the students decided to date her? What would you do?’ Wei Zhiqian asked.
“No way in h*ll! Who do they think they are?” Qin Mufeng responded immediately. In his eyes, even Ming Yeqing wasn’t good enough to date his little sister.
“See? Isn’t my reaction normal then?” Wei Zhiqian said as he sat back in his seat. After a whole day of work, he was exhausted. “Being good at studying doesn’t mean they have good personalities. I can tell that there are even some who want to date Mo Mo because their lives could get easier that way.”
“So, how many have you spotted?” Qin Mufeng asked.
“A dozen at least,” Wei Zhiqian said and sighed.
The first person that Wei Zhiqian had thought of was Cheng Xiuze.
“I’ve checked his background,” Wei Zhiqian said. “He comes from a normal family. His parents earn around the average wage. It’s not like I look down on these people, but there’s no way I can let Mo Mo dish out the money whenever they go on a date, right? I mean, do you really think he can afford what Mo Mo is used to every day? The biggest problem would be the difference in their living standards. It’ll become a problem in the future. That’s why those who come from normal families are definitely a huge no.
Wei Zhiqian then moved on to the next person. “Well, this one is pretty well off. His family is on the wealthier side, but still lacking if you compare them to the Tan family. Well, at least he can afford the dates, and the amount he would be able to spend is about as much as Mo Mo could. However, he has a sister, and his family loves her like she’s their treasure. If Mo Mo dates him, then they might want Mo Mo to love that sister just like they love her. Most girls like this have a princess syndrome, right? Not many people can do what Mo Mo can, being absolutely loved by her family but with not an ounce of arrogance on her. To be honest, the three brothers’ future wives will be fortunate to have such a nice girl as their sister-in-law.”
Qin Mufeng was about to say that Tan Mo was also being cared for like a princess by her family, just like Qin Muye was. However, before he could even say anything, Wei Zhqian had already made a counterargument.
The double standard… Qin Mufeng sighed to himself.
“Also, Mo Mo is used to being pampered by others. What makes them think that she should go and pamper other people? Who do they think they are?” Wei Zhiqian scolded as he threw the packaging of the jerky into the plastic bag before taking out one of the fruit-flavored gummies.
Qin Mufeng was now looking at his friend speechlessly.
Is he planning to eat all of the snacks that I’ve prepared for my cute little sister? SIGH! Whatever… I’ll buy a new batch later…
Wei Zhiqian continued to talk about the male students that he had noticed who were trying to get close to Tan Mo. In his mind, not a single one of them was good enough to be Tan Mo’s boyfriend.
Even having a mole on his lip was a reason that Wei Zhiqian had used.
The more Qin Mufeng listened to his friend, the more he felt Wei Zhiqian was going a little overboard.
