Chapter 665: Never Said
After eating salty flavored dumplings, the sweetness was perfect for neutralizing the flavor on their tongues.
“Jujubes attract wealth,” Tan Mo said with a smile. “I’m sure your TV series for the year will be very popular.”
Poor Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi had devoured the plate of dumplings in front of them, but they still couldn’t find Tan Mo’s dumplings.
“Mom.” Tan Jinsheng burped. “How many of Momo’s dumplings did you cook? Why haven’t I eaten any yet?”
“I did cook quite a lot, but I didn’t put too many in here. I cooked the rest separately and put them in the kitchen,” Xu Mingzhen said. “Otherwise, if there were too many, how would it show that these dumplings are special?”
Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi deeply felt Xu Mingzhen had absolutely fooled them.
Even though the two of them couldn’t take it anymore, they still stared at the other two plates of dumplings indignantly.
They felt they could still eat more.
In the end, in the blink of an eye, one more dumpling appeared on each of their plates.
One look and they knew that it was Tan Mo’s dumpling.
They thought that they had eaten too much and their eyes were playing tricks on them.
Tan Mo said with a smile, “Here you go you two. Don’t overeat.”
“Momo, you’re so nice.” Tan Jinsheng felt touched.
He took a bite. It was brown sugar.
It tasted like he was eating a packet of brown sugar.
Tan Mo smiled and said, “I am sure your song is going to be a hit this year.”
Tan Jinyi also took a bite of his dumpling. It was also rice cake filling.
Tan Mo quickly said, “Your drawing skills are going to get better and better.”
The three brothers finally felt satisfied after hearing Tan Mo’s auspicious words.
After the family finished eating the dumplings, Xu Mingzhen put the pot and plates into the dishwasher to wash them.
It was getting quite late, so everyone went back to their rooms.
Tan Mo had just returned to her room and turned on the lights when her phone rang.
It was a call from Wei Zhiqian.
Tan Mo quickly picked it up. Without waiting for Wei Zhiqian to speak, she said, “Uncle, Happy New Year!”
Tan Mo’s soft voice was filled with joy.
Wei Zhiqian raised his head and looked at the lights in Tan Mo’s bedroom on the second floor. The light seemed to have struck his heart.
Even though he was out in the cold wind, Tan Mo’s sweet voice and the light from her room had warmed his heart.
Since the two elders were old, they could not stay up late, so the dumplings in the old residence would only get eaten the next morning.
He came here after the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner. By the time he finished dinner in the old residence, he arrived around 11:30 pm and wanted to celebrate the new year with Tan Mo.
Even if he could not enter the Tan residence, he sat in the car and waited, looking at the lights on the first floor of the residence.
Although he could not hear anything, he could feel the liveliness inside.
Earlier, he looked at the lights on the first floor of the Tan residence and wondered when he would be able to celebrate the new year with the little girl and have a Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner together.
When he saw the lights on in Tan Mo’s bedroom, he knew Tan Mo had returned to the bedroom, so he immediately gave her a call.
“Happy Chinese New Year,” Wei Zhiqian said as he placed the fireworks on the ground and arranged them in a row.
Then, he lit the wick.
The wick was long, and there was still quite a bit of time.
Wei Zhiqian had estimated it.
When he had reached the last one, Wei Zhiqian said, “Come to the balcony.”
When Tan Mo heard this, her heart pounded violently.
Her uncle was here!
Every time Wei Zhiqian said this, he would definitely be here.
Tan Mo hurriedly opened the glass door of the French windows and went to the balcony.
Coincidentally, Wei Zhiqian had just lit the wick of the last firework.
He had just stood properly.
The first firework was accompanied by a “bang”, shooting straight into the night sky like a meteor.
Following closely was the second, the third... until the last one.
They seemed to fly straight into the sky in an orderly manner before they bloomed again in the dark night sky.
One firework after another bloomed in the night sky.
Before the first one fell, the second one had already appeared and another one rose again.
The firework in the sky was no longer as orderly as it was at the beginning.
They had turned into colorful flowers.
Tan Mo looked up. These were fireworks that belonged only to her.
They only bloomed for her in the sky above her head.
Wei Zhiqian used the sound of the fireworks to conceal his presence. He had already quickly turned into the Tan family’s courtyard.
When Tan Mo saw this, her attention quickly turned to Wei Zhiqian.
She had long wanted to see Wei Zhiqian climb over the wall again.
At this moment, she could see more clearly than last time with the help of the light from the fireworks.
She saw that Wei Zhiqian’s feet seemed to have nails growing on them as he steadily stepped on the villa’s wall.
With a leap, he climbed up in two or three steps.
He firmly grabbed onto the balcony railing with both hands.
With a push of his hands, he climbed into the balcony.
Wei Zhiqian smiled seeing the little girl’s bright eyes looking at him and asked, “Why do you keep looking at me and not at the fireworks?”
He had specially set this up for her.
When Tan Mo came of age, Wei Zhiqian had hired a professional team to set off large-scale fireworks.
Naturally, he did not have to lift a finger.
This time, Wei Zhiqian had bought the fireworks and personally set it up for Tan Mo.
Although it wasn’t as spectacular as the last time, Wei Zhiqian had personally set it up, so it was a little more romantic.
Tan Mo remembered that she still had fireworks to watch, so she quickly raised her head to look at the fireworks.
Wei Zhiqian saw that Tan Mo was only wearing normal homewear.
Since there was ample heating at home, she naturally didn’t wear a lot of clothes at home.
Although there was wind standing on the balcony, the heat in the room could still radiate out towards them.
Tan Mo did not feel unbearably cold.
Wei Zhiqian quickly pulled Tan Mo into his arms and wrapped Tan Mo tightly in his coat.
Tan Mo snuggled comfortably in Wei Zhiqian’s arms and looked up at the fireworks.
It was not until all the fireworks had been set off that Tan Mo withdrew her gaze.
Tan Mo then remembered it was cold outside, so she quickly pulled Wei Zhiqian into the bedroom and closed the glass door.
“Uncle, when did you get here?” Tan Mo touched Wei Zhiqian’s face.
His face was so cold.
She remembered the moment she turned on the light, Wei Zhiqian’s phone call arrived.
He must have arrived long ago and had been waiting there.
“Not too long ago.” Wei Zhiqian didn’t say much to her.
Usually, he would seize the opportunity to make the little girl feel sorry for him.
But this time, he said nothing.
He knew if the little girl found out what happened, she would really feel sorry for him.
Things that usually made the little girl feel sorry for him did not hurt at all.
After all, he was just teasing the little girl.
However, when it came to things that would genuinely make the girl feel bad, Wei Zhiqian would say nothing.
“I haven’t seen you all day today, so I missed you,” said Wei Zhiqian in a low voice.
It was a little hot when he entered the room, so he took off his coat.
Tan Mo took it and put it on the back of the sofa for him.
She had done this many times before.
If there was a third person present, they would feel like they had the tacit understanding of a long-time husband and wife.
Tan Mo naturally pulled Wei Zhiqian to her bedside.
Although there was a sofa, they had already lived together when she was at Beijing University.
