“But what if… What if you did find someone that you thought was suitable? You might not have liked her all that much, but you might have thought that you could try getting together with her. If that was the case… Would you have not liked me then?” Tan Mo felt a strong lingering fear and could not help but tremble.

If that was the case, her uncle wouldn’t have gotten together with her, and he wouldn’t have been hers anymore.

If her uncle were to marry some girl he met from the blind dates, even if he did not like her very much, he would still be responsible to her till the end and be loyal to the marriage. With this, she and her uncle would’ve never gotten together in the first place.

Sensing her fear, Wei Zhiqian quickly pulled Tan Mo over and hugged her, “Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Let’s not mention that what you said was just a hypothesis and did not happen at all, it simply was impossible to happen. I won’t date someone I don’t like. There are many suitable girls, but you’re the only one I like. If I date whoever was suitable, there would be too many I could date, why would my blind dates all fail? It’s only because I’m thinking of you in my heart. With you around, how can I possibly fall in love with someone else? If I date someone just because I think she’s marriage material but I’m not romantically interested in her, that would simply be irresponsible for the other party too. I was also stupid to think of such a stupid idea back then. Since I already fell in love with you, how could anyone else enter my eyes?” Wei Zhiqian gently kissed the space between her eyebrows, “So, the hypothesis that you’re talking about is just contradictory.”

Tan Mo was wrapped in Wei Zhiqian’s embrace. She rubbed her face against his chest a few times and grunted, finally convinced by Wei Zhiqian.

Wei Zhiqian lowered his head and laughed softly. His lips rubbed against the corner of her eyes as he said, “You’re a little genius who’s proficient in both literature and science, yet you’re so silly at this moment.”

Tan Mo grunted, “I’m not silly. I’m very smart.”

“Yes, you’re very smart.” She was only silly occasionally.

However, it was also because she cared about him too much that she got caught up in her thoughts and became silly.

She was such a smart little lady, and she had only become silly just because she cared too much about him and liked him too much.

He liked such silliness very much.

With this thought in mind, Wei Zhiqian could not help but be moved. He smoothly kissed the corner of her eyes.

When he spoke, his breath burned the corner of her eyes. “At that time, I was silly. I had the wrong considerations and came up with such a stupid idea. No matter what, I can’t be with anyone else. I already have a little lady in my heart, so I can’t think of anyone else.” He had pampered this little lady for so long and had watched her for so many years.

She was long deeply rooted in his heart.

Tan Mo trembled even more under Wei Zhiqian’s burning lips.

However, this time, she did not tremble because of the lingering fear.

Her heart was trembling with him.

Wei Zhiqian’s lips fell from the corner of her eyes to the bottom of her eyes, her cheeks, and the tip of her nose.

“I wanted to kiss you properly last night,” Wei Zhiqian mumbled, “But I was worried that my in-laws would hear us.”

Tan Mo’s red ears quivered, “Why… why… Why are you calling them in… why are you calling them that now?”

Tan Mo was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

She wondered why Wei Zhiqian could say it so smoothly.

Wei Zhiqian’s soft laughter blew into her mouth with a refreshing breath as he laughed and said a low and hoarse voice, “If I don’t call them that, how should I call them? Besides, I’ll have to call them that sooner or later.”

“Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be exposed if continue addressing them that way?” Tan Mo said with a red face.

“No, if I’m exposed, it’s just nice to let them know anyway,” Wei Zhiqian was eager for that to happen, to tell the truth.

If it wasn’t that the little lady was worried that her parents could not accept their relationship, he would have said it long ago.

Tan Mo was embarrassed to the point she felt she was burning. Why was her uncle so shameless!

In the past, she had felt that her uncle was steady and reliable.

She had never thought that her uncle would have such a side to him after he fell in love.

But on second thought, it seemed that her uncle would only reveal this side of him after he fell in love.

This meant that she was the only one who had seen this side of her uncle, and no one else knew about it.

Tan Mo felt like she was enjoying it all to herself.

“Uncle,” Tan Mo suddenly called out softly.

“Hm?” Wei Zhiqian’s mind was filled with thoughts of the little lady, and his response was somewhat absent-minded.

“Will you always like me? Will you like someone else one day?” Tan Mo asked.

“No,” Wei Zhiqian said, “Even if you fell out of love with me, I won’t fall in love with anyone else.”

Hearing Wei Zhiqian’s words, Tan Mo’s heart felt inexplicably sour.

Wei Zhiqian’s words sounded calm, but she could hear the inferiority in his words.

She didn’t know why Wei Zhiqian would have such inferiority.

Her uncle was such an outstanding person. He had always been one that was liked by many who couldn’t gain his love.

“I am despicable towards you,” Wei Zhiqian’s voice sounded above Tan Mo’s head again after a moment of silence.

Tan Mo became anxious when she heard such words, “Uncle is not despicable! You’re the best.”

Wei Zhiqian smiled heavily.

This was a topic that he had to face sooner or later.

It just so happened that they had reached this point today. Wei Zhiqian had never been a person who would run away.

The only time he ran away was when he first realized that he liked Tan Mo romantically.

He was frightened by his thoughts and even felt that he was a pervert. That was why he used blind dates to run away.

However, when Tan Mo misunderstood it as his distrust in her, which then made her angry, Wei Zhiqian realized that he could not run away. He simply couldn’t bear not seeing her and staying away from her.

Since he could not run away, he would stop trying to.

And at this moment, he did not choose to run away.

“I took advantage of you, your father is right. I am not young, I’m at least nine years older than you, that’s a big age gap,” Wei Zhiqian said slowly, “You are only eighteen now and have just come of age. Before this, your family had protected you too well. Other than Ming Yeqing, no other boys could get close to you. Even Ming Yeqing was under our watchful eyes. It can be said that other than him, your brothers, and me, you haven’t come into contact with any other young boys at all. When you became an adult, I always kept a close watch on you and forbid other boys from getting close to you. It can be said that you haven’t had the chance to interact with other boys and understand more about them. Before I had even realized my feelings for you, I already had selfish motives. I kept the boys who were interested in you away,” Wei Zhiqian took a deep breath, “I was the despicable one. I took advantage of your young age. You are only 18 years old, so I took advantage of the fact that you didn’t know many people, haven’t gotten to see the world, and haven’t come into contact with many other outstanding people. I pulled you into my arms before all that. If I was really a good person, I would have waited for you. I would have waited for you to see more of the world and get to know more people. Once you have a comparison, you would know what it feels like to have feelings for someone. You would know if I was good enough, and you would discover if there was someone that you liked more than me..”
