Chapter 423 - The Second Dream
Chapter 423: The Second Dream
No matter where she was, his young lady had to be taken care of.
Moreover, he was worried about when he was not around.
If his young lady was frightened, it would not be good if she hugged another boy.
When he thought about this, Wei Zhiqian was not at ease at all.
Tan Mo nodded solemnly. “I will remember. Without you around, I will not dare to play. I won’t be at ease no matter who I am with.”
Wei Zhiqian smiled in satisfaction.
He slightly bent his index finger and touched the tip of her nose. “Smooth talker.”
“Go inside,” Wei Zhiqian said with reluctance.
He was still unable to get a goodnight kiss.
Tan Mo obediently said goodbye to Wei Zhiqian and entered her home.
“Momo, why were you gone for such a long time? Were you at the Old Mansion the entire day?” Tan Wenci missed his daughter after not seeing Tan Mo for the whole day.
He missed the days before his daughter attended university even more.
During that time, he got to her every day since she stayed at home.
However, after she started going to the university, she was usually busy. When she had free time, she still had to spend time with her friends and go to the Old Mansion.
Tan Mo could not spread herself so thin and could only attend to them one at a time.
Thus, the time she had left for her family was much less compared to before.
However, they also knew that it was good for Tan Mo to go out and socialize. It would be boring if she stayed at home all the time.
So they would really miss her.
However, Tan Mo had left home early and only came back after nine.
She had been out for too long.
“We left the Old Mansion after we had lunch. Since he had time today, I asked him to accompany me to an escape the room,” Tan Mo explained.
The Tan family brothers immediately gathered their attention and turned toward Tan Mo.
“Was the theme you played scary?” Tan Jinyi asked immediately.
“Yes.” Tan Mo nodded. “Because we did not make a reservation and the rooms with the other themes were fully booked. We would have had to wait for other customers to arrive, and we did not know how long it would take. It happened that the room with the five-star horror theme needed two more people, so we joined it. With uncle, the actors did not dare to come over. They went to scare other people. With uncle leading me, we finished it pretty quickly.”
The three brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
If that were the case, it probably was not stimulating and was easy to pass.
Then, there would not be any incidents.
“Quickly take a shower and rest. We didn’t expect that you would return so late,” Xu Mingzhen said.
“It is good that tomorrow is Sunday.” Tan Jinqi thought of another question. “You don’t have anything going on tomorrow, right?”
“No.” Tan Mo did not arrange for an outing the next day. She had planned to stay at home.
On the way back, Wei Zhiqian had told her that he would go to the company tomorrow.
“All right, you get some rest and wake up later tomorrow as it is Sunday.” Tan Jinqi seemed to imply something else as he said, “You are too tired today.”
Tan Jinsheng caught on immediately and added, “What’s with Wei Zhiqian? He does not know how to care about others. How could he take you out for the entire day and tire you out?”
Tan Mo quickly defended Wei Zhiqian. “It was me. I had not seen him for a while and did not want to part with him so quickly. It was rare that he had time today, so I kept him out the whole day.”
Tan Mo immediately felt guilty after she thought about that.
She could rest tomorrow, but he still had to work.
She had dragged him along and played until this late hour.
The three Tan brothers thought that Tan Mo had gotten more protective of Wei Zhiqian.
Tan Mo was afraid that her three brothers would say something else, so she quickly bid good night to them and went upstairs to her room.
As she soaked in the bathtub, she was still thinking about every moment she shared with Wei Zhiqian.
When she got on the bed, she was unable to fall asleep after she closed her eyes.
She rolled around. Her mind was filled with Wei Zhiqian and the images of them together.
They constantly replayed in her mind.
Sometimes, Tan Mo would even laugh out loud uncontrollably.
Perhaps because she kept thinking of Wei Zhiqian before she slept…
It led to her dreaming about Wei Zhiqian again.
First, it was when the two of them were in front of the flower jar. Wei Zhiqian had unbuttoned his collar and revealed his neck and collarbone.
He had pulled Tan Mo in his arms. When Tan Mo raised her head, the tip of her nose could almost touch his Adam’s apple.
At such a close distance, Tan Mo could clearly breathe in the pine and cypress scent Wei Zhiqian emitted.
Even if it was in a dream, the scent was very realistic.
She could even see the lines and blood vessels of Wei Zhiqian’s neck, and she could feel his body temperature clearly.
The scenes in her dream changed suddenly, but they also felt natural to her.
Tan Mo did not even know how she had arrived at the escape room.
Anyway, when the scene changed, they had arrived at the five-star setting again.
However, different from the setting in the day, it was especially bright in her dream.
The teammates from the day were in their surroundings, but they were blurred figures.
Tan Mo’s focus was not on them.
She was being hugged by Wei Zhiqian now. Just like during the day, he was carrying her.
The setting was very bright, and there was no scary room.
The run-down mansion became a bright and airy European-style villa with retro furnishings.
The faces of the teammates were blurred, but in the dream, Tan Mo subconsciously knew who each one was.
Everyone was lively when they were in discussion and then quickly split into teams to look for clues.
She and Wei Zhiqian also went to find clues in a bedroom.
The bedroom belonged to a girl. It was decorated with a young girl’s taste, and the colors of the room were bright.
Tan Mo pulled open the drawer of the vanity table and searched for clues.
She was suddenly hugged by Wei Zhiqian from the back.
Wei Zhiqian’s hot lips moved from her earlobe to the corner of her lips.
As she breathed, she could smell the pine and cypress scent from him and the fragrance of lemons from his breath.
Tan Mo held her breath nervously and lowered her head shyly.
However, Wei Zhiqian still managed to locate her lips accurately and kiss her.
Perhaps because of her experience from last night, Tan Mo did not wake up from shock.
She followed the development of the dream.
However, the scene changed again. Tan Mo seemed to be lying down on the bed in the bedroom of that retro villa.
Quickly, the scene of the surroundings changed again.
She returned to her bedroom again.
The surroundings were especially familiar…
But with the addition of Wei Zhiqian.
His arms were by the side of her body. One hand was touching her face gently.
She did not know when it happened, but the buttons of his shirt were open to his stomach.
Tan Mo could see not only Wei Zhiqian’s Adam’s apple and collarbones but also his abs.
Tan Mo’s face was hot, and her fingertips courageously touched his abs.
Wei Zhiqian suddenly lowered his head.
When he was about to kiss her, Tan Mo could suddenly only see darkness. The dream ended.
Tan Mo opened her eyes and saw the room was dark with only faint traces of light entering from outside.
