“What if we remind him and he really starts preparing for the wedding next year?” Tan Wenci said, “So, don’t tell him.”

Tan Mo kept silent.

Tan Wenci was still worried, so he at least got Tan Mo to agree.

Because he had said what was on his mind, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Therefore, Tan Wenci began to gaze unblinkingly at Tan Mo eating.

Tan Mo was at a loss for words.

Xu Mingzhen couldn’t stand it anymore and softly said, “You don’t have to stare at Momo like that while she eats. You’re making it so uncomfortable for her.”

“I’m just...afraid I don’t know when I’ll see her again?”

Fortunately, Tan Wenci also realized in time that it was very unlucky to say so.

He quickly changed his words. “Afraid that we won’t be able to have New Year’s Eve dinner together in the future?”

“Didn’t Momo already say that she would discuss it with Zhiqian?” Xu Mingzhen said helplessly. “The two children are filial; we don’t have to spell things out for them. They will definitely find a way to be filial to both families.”

“Besides, so many young people are getting married. There are many who are the only child in their family and even they can take care of both sides, let alone Zhiqian and Momo,” Xu Mingzhen said persuasively.

Although she didn’t know if Tan Wenci agreed with her, at least he didn’t further dwell on this matter.

......

There wasn’t much of a New Year atmosphere left and the Spring Festival Gala wasn’t interesting, however he still habitually turned on the television and listened to the broadcast.

Even if he didn’t watch it, the sounds from the television would make things more lively.

Because firecrackers had been banned, it was very quiet outside, just like an ordinary night.

The Tan siblings were night owls, so they were not sleepy.

They were seated in front of the television. Although there was a program being broadcast, they did not watch it. They were all holding their phones and chatting or browsing Weibo.

Anyway, if there was anything good, it would be listed separately on Weibo.

Tan Mo thought that Wei Zhiqian probably did not have time to do anything else at the moment.

The Wei family consisted of so many people that just dealing with them would be enough to keep Wei Zhiqian busy.

Therefore, Tan Mo did not send a message to Wei Zhiqian.

Anyway, they would meet tomorrow.

Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye were also busy.

Needless to say, the Qin family was also a large family, likewise with the Ming family.

Unlike the Tan family, which were relative newcomers, although Tanyue had quite a lot of business currently, but its foundation was lacking.

The Ming family and the Chu family were family friends, and the Ming family was also a family with deep roots.

There was no resting for Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye at the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight.

The most idle person was Tan Mo.

So Tan Mo didn’t look for the two of them.

She chatted with her seniors in the group chat, and went to Weibo to browse for things of interest.

Unknowingly, she heard the clock striking midnight on the television.

Hearing this, Xu Mingzhen went to cook dumplings.

Auntie Guo had already returned home. Fortunately, Xu Mingzhen wasn’t someone who was helpless.

She didn’t cook that many dumplings.

They had eaten a lot that evening. If they ate too much at this time, their stomachs would feel bloated.

Xu Mingzhen gave each of them ten dumplings as a gesture, meant as supper.

“After you finish eating, move around and let it digest. Then go to bed. There will be many guests visiting us for the New Year tomorrow,” Xu Mingzhen said to Tan Jinqi and his brothers. “The three of you have to follow your dad visiting for the New Year.”

Although Tan Mo was likable, she found it meaningless to sit in other people’s homes for polite conversation.

That was why Tan Wenci never brought Tan Mo around for New Year’s visitations.

His youngest daughter just had to stay comfortably at home.

Besides, why go out on such a cold day?

Tan Jinqi and his brothers also felt the same way.

Let them be the ones to do this boring New Year’s visitations.

In the past, Tan Mo only went to the eight great clans for New Year’s visitations, and not even to all of them.

She only went to visit Qin Mufeng and the other families that had a good relationship with Wei Zhiqian. She also went to the residence of a few other families.

However, just this alone was enough to keep her busy.

The first day of the Lunar New Year was a tough battle. Even though they were night owls, they were still not sleepy. After digesting the dumplings for half an hour, they went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Not long after Tan Mo went to bed, she received a phone call from Wei Zhiqian.

Even though it was very late, when she saw that it was Wei Zhiqian calling, Tan Mo was completely energized.

When she picked up the phone, she rolled on the bed and changed to a prone position, propped up by her elbows.

“Brother Zhiqian, are you done over there?” Tan Mo asked.

“Yes, I just returned to my room.” Wei Zhiqian’s voice carried a smile.

Because the next day was for New Year’s visitations.

Therefore, traditionally, on the New Year’s eve, everyone stayed together in the old mansion.

It was expansive, and there were many rooms.

There were sufficient guest rooms.

Because Wei Zhiqian often returned to the old mansion and was liked by the two old folks, he was different from other people staying in the guest rooms. Wei Zhiqian had his own courtyard at the old mansion.

From the scenery to the interior decorations, they were all arranged with great care, and they were in line with Wei Zhiqian’s preferences.

“I’m not here tonight. Did you miss me?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

Tan Mo paused for a moment. She didn’t dare to say that she was too busy comforting Tan Wenci that night and really didn’t have the time to miss him.

“Of course I miss you!” Tan Mo hurriedly said, “I’ve been living with you for a long time, and now that we’re suddenly not together, I feel uneasy.”

So it turned out that Tan Mo felt the same way as him, Wei Zhiqian thought with a smile.

“I’ll go to your house for the New Year’s visitation in the morning, and I’ll take you to Mufeng’s house for New Year’s visitation thereafter,” Wei Zhiqian said to Tan Mo.

It was the same in previous years. Tan Mo was used to it and readily agreed.

“You don’t have to go back tomorrow, right?” Wei Zhiqian said.

Tan Mo paused again.

Tan Mo cleared her throat guilty before saying, “Because the school is on winter vacation, the dorms are closed. If I don’t stay at home, it doesn’t make sense...”

Didn’t this mean that she had a place to stay outside?

Before the school break, she could still say that she lived in the dorms or in the neighborhood next to Beijing University.

But now she didn’t need to go to school. If she still lived outside, it would be inappropriate.

Wei Zhiqian was flabbergasted.

“So you mean we can’t live together for a month?” Wei Zhiqian suddenly felt that the New Year wasn’t a good thing.

Previously, he had been looking forward to it because he wanted to finally be open about his relationship with Tan Mo.

However, he had neglected the fact that Tan Mo was on vacation and would not be able to live outside.

“We can still see each other during the day.” Tan Mo also felt that this was a little difficult.

When she thought about the fact that she would only be able to see Wei Zhiqian during the day for a month and would not be able to live together properly, Tan Mo felt that this vacation was too boring.

Wei Zhiqian was silent for a moment before saying, “Momo, actually, I feel that... my in-laws should already be aware that the two of us were living together.”

“Jinqi knew from the start, although it’s hard to say whether Jinsheng and Jinyi knew. With the intelligence of my in-laws, how could they not have guessed?” Wei Zhiqian said, “So, there’s no need for us to hide it anymore, right?”

Tan Mo was shocked. “My parents know? That’s impossible!”

When she thought that her parents might know that she was cohabiting with Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo’s ears burned.
