Chapter 432 - Uncle, Does It Hurt?
Chapter 432: Uncle, Does It Hurt?
“Okay,” Tan Mo agreed.
She moved the chair back to the side of the desk opposite Wei Zhiqian. After clearing the disposable food containers up, she took them outside the office and threw them away.
“Brother Jingan, are you still working?” Tan Mo asked.
“Yes. I’m Young Master Wei’s personal assistant. I can’t get off from work if he’s still working.” Zhou Jingan raised the corners of his lips.
“Alright. Please go ahead and do whatever you need to,” Tan Mo replied.
No wonder Wei Zhiqian did not ask Zhou Jingan to take her home.
Both of them were occupied with work and could not make time to do that.
Tan Mo thought, ‘To be honest, I could take a cab back.’
Beijing University was situated in the middle of downtown. The journey there from here was on the major roads.
Although the traffic might be a little heavy, the public order here was quite good.
Still, Wei Zhiqian and her brothers would not permit her to take a cab alone at night.
After that, Tan Mo returned to Wei Zhiqian’s office and took a seat on the couch at the side.
She took out her cellphone and scrolled Weibo and WeChat Moments.
She sat there quietly and didn’t even play any videos.
She did not bring her earphones along with her when she left the campus that day. Fearing that the sound of the video would disturb Wei Zhiqian’s work, she only looked at the content without any sound.
Occasionally, she would come across interesting auto-playing videos on Weibo. She would mute the video and read the subtitles only.
Despite having a lesser impact, it was still a great way to kill time.
A while later, Tan Mo yawned discreetly and felt a little sleepy.
She did sleep well the night before as she dreamed of Wei Zhiqian, causing her to be wide awake. It took her some time before falling asleep again.
Changing her position unobtrusively, Tan Mo leaned against the sofa and slept.
The weather outside was getting hotter daily, so the air-conditioner was switched on in the office.
Even though Wei Zhiqian was doing his work, he had been looking at Tan Mo constantly.
Noticing that she dozed off, he took a blanket and covered her with it gently.
He tried his best to be careful not to wake her up. After that, he heaved a sigh of relief and got back to work.
By the time he was done, he realized that it was already 10:12 p.m.
Once Wei Zhiqian switched off his computer, he grabbed the car key and stuffed it inside his pocket. He sauntered over to the sofa.
After removing the blanket carefully, he put one arm under Tan Mo’s legs and another one behind her back and picked her up.
The movement awakened Tan Mo.
To her surprise, the first thing she caught sight of after opening her eyes was Wei Zhiqian’s face.
His face was within a hair’s breadth from hers because she was being carried in his arms.
By instinct, Tan Mo thought that she was dreaming.
Furthermore, her little fantasies seemed to be playing new tricks on her this time.
She was more daring and unrestrained toward Wei Zhiqian in her dreams than in real life.
Thinking she was in her dreamland, she lifted her hand to touch Wei Zhiqian’s chin.
Just then, Tan Mo thought, ‘The dream realm feels so real this time.’
The sensation was intense as her fingers touched the stubble on his chin.
Tan Mo continued to run her fingers from his chin to his lips slowly.
After her fingertips came into contact with his lips, they began hovering around like a painter working on her canvas. She traced every part of his lips.
At that, Wei Zhiqian bobbed his throat.
Was this girl aware of what she was doing?
Starting from his chin, Wei Zhiqian felt the touch of her fingertips, which were as soft as tofu. When they nudged his chin, they felt like boneless flesh.
Even though his lips were real soft flesh, the softness of her fingertips still felt like marshmallows.
This was how it felt to be touched by her fingertips.
The sensation was softer and more tantalizing than in his dream. It was rather irresistible for him.
“Momo?” Wei Zhiqian called out instinctively while he was in confusion.
His lips rubbed against her fingertips as he spoke.
Tan Mo blinked her eyes in a trance. ‘This dream feels way too real!’
“What are you doing?” Wei Zhiqian questioned in puzzlement.
Did Momo feel that same toward him?
Happiness arrived like an unannounced storm.
Wei Zhiqian could not believe what was playing out before his eyes.
As he spoke, Tan Mo felt his hot breath on her fingers.
As a result, her fingertips twitched a little at the heat from his breath. It finally brought her back to reality.
“Am… Am I not dreaming?” Tan Mo blurted out in a reflex.
Tan Mo’s frequent dreams about him blurred the lines between her senses of hallucination and reality, confusing her even further.
Wei Zhiqian curled up the corners of his lips in curiosity.
Did she see him in her dreams?
What in the world had happened in her dreamland that made her bold enough to touch his lips?
“You thought this was a dream?” Wei Zhiqian raised an amused smile. “What did you see?”
Tan Mo was cornered by his unexpected question.
There was no way she could ever tell him what she saw in her dream.
To be sure she was awake, she secretly pinched her side.
‘Ouch!’
‘That hurts!’
‘Looks like this isn’t my fantasy after all!’
Tan Mo resolved never to have a dream like that ever again. It made her mix up fantasy and reality.
To think that she would paw at her uncle without any restraint.
Even now, her finger was still on Wei Zhiqian’s lips.
As those thoughts crossed her mind, she finally regained her composure. She turned her stare at his lips.
Her fingers remained in the same position.
Right then, she noticed Wei Zhiqian raising his eyebrows.
She was at a loss for words at the sight of it.
Tan Mo was finally fully awake. Chills ran down her spine like a basin of icy cold water was splashed down from her head.
At that, Tan Mo recollected her previous incarnation as the little snow fairy for a millennium up until that moment. Upon confirmation, it was indeed the first time she had suffered from that much embarrassment.
A buzzing sound echoed in Tan Mo’s head. She came up with a desperate idea.
She squeezed Wei Zhiqian’s lips flat like a duck’s bill with her thumb and index finger.
Wei Zhiqian was rendered speechless.
Why did she suddenly distort his face?
“Uncle, does it hurt?” Tan Mo asked with an innocent look and gleaming widened eyes.
With that, she believed Wei Zhiqian would not get mad at her.
He did not have a looking glass before him, so he could not see how he looked like at that moment.
He was positive that it did not look good.
Wei Zhiqian opened his mouth in resignation. His lips broke free from the pressing of her fingertips.
Although the touch of Tan Mo’s fingertips was soft, smooth, and comfortable, the feeling of his lips being pinched wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience.
“It hurt a little.” Wei Zhiqian’s lips were reddened from her nip.
It was a bit swollen. It looked like he had just been kissed.
“I see. Then this is not a dream,” Tan Mo murmured.
Wei Zhiqian almost laughed in his annoyance. “Why did you pinch me to see if you were dreaming? What if I shrieked from your nip while you were still in your dreamland?”
Tan Mo was stunned for a moment.
This deduction sounded logical.
“I pinched myself earlier and it hurt.” Tan Mo spilled the beans.
“Are you nuts? Why did you have to pinch yourself for no reason?” Wei Zhiqian sat on the couch. He put Tan Mo on his lap and held her in his arms. “Where is it?”
Tan Mo cupped the side of her waist and answered, “Over here.”
Wei Zhiqian remained silent for a while and thought, ‘It’s rude to lift a woman’s clothes.’
“I’ll not peep. Check and see if it’s reddish.” After Wei Zhiqian spoke, he closed his eyes.
