Chapter 699: Too Crafty

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tan Jinsheng was already considering whether it was too late to get an exorcist.

Without thinking, he rushed over to Tan Mo’s side and shielded her behind his body.

No matter what, he had to protect Tan Mo first!

Tan Mo: “…”

“Second brother, what’s wrong?” Tan Mo was puzzled. She couldn’t understand why Tan Jinsheng was reacting like this.

“Look at Mom and Dad, Big brother, and Jinyi.” Tan Jinsheng said in a low voice. “Don’t they look like they were possessed by something?”

Tan Mo: “…”

Tan Mo didn’t doubt that there were such otherworldly things in this world.

After all, she was a little snow fairy in her previous life, before she reincarnated in this life with the many buffs that were passed down from her previous life.

Naturally, she didn’t doubt that there were spirits and gods in this world.

Of course, after all these years of living as a second-generation rich kid, and with a tycoon like Wei Zhiqian around, Tan Mo was no longer the ignorant little snow fairy that she was when she first came to this world.

Tan Mo felt that she may still be unaware of many things about the human world, she was still very knowledgeable about gods and spirits.

It was just like how she could understand what plants were saying.

If there was really a spiritual monster here, she would definitely be able to see it.

Although she had never seen it before, Tan Mo had an intuition for discerning such things. She knew that she would be able to tell if it was the work of a spirit.

Although she felt that Tan Jinsheng was being a little silly with his reaction, Tan Mo could tell that he had genuinely thought that it was the work of the supernatural.

When ordinary people faced such an unknown situation, they would have been completely overwhelmed by fear.

But even with such fear, Tan Jinsheng still protected and shielded Tan Mo behind him.

Tan Mo was extremely touched by his gesture.

“Second brother, it’s alright.” Tan Mo said as she hugged Tan Jinsheng’s arm.

She has a really good brother.

Tan Wenci finally came back to his senses. He stood up and cursed, “Wei Zhiqian is really shameless!”

Tan Jinsheng: “…”

Tan Jinsheng heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed like things were fine now.

“What’s wrong with Wei Zhiqian?” Tan Jinsheng walked over curiously.

Tan Mo knew that they must have seen her WeChat Moments.

Even Xu Mingzhen looked at Tan Mo with a complicated expression. “We can let it slide with Wei Zhiqian, but Momo, why are you posting about it as well? You guys… you guys aren’t engaged yet!”

“What!” Tan Jinsheng quickly clicked into WeChat.

He also had Wei Zhiqian as his friend on WeChat.

Sure enough, not only did Wei Zhiqian post about his fiancée, Tan Mo had also followed suit.

Tan Jinsheng’s hands trembled with anger. “Old Madam Wei just called today and said that the two families will be sitting down to discuss the engagement tomorrow. In other words, the engagement discussion hasn’t even started yet! What fiancée is he talking about!”

Tan Mo had no choice but to come over and hug Tan Jinsheng’s arm. “Aiya, isn’t… isn’t it just a matter of time? Second Brother, don’t tell me you still want me to break up with… Brother Zhiqian? It’ll only be good if we are together blissfully, isn’t it?”

Tan Jinsheng was shocked by Tan Mo’s mention of “Brother Zhiqian”.

“You… What did you just call him?” Tan Jinsheng asked as if he had seen a ghost.

After all, the Tan family had heard Tan Mo address Wei Zhiqian as Uncle for many years that they had already gotten used to it.

“Well… we’re already together… I can’t keep calling him Uncle, right?” Tan Mo explained, “When we have children in the future, wouldn’t it be a mess if I were to still have to call him uncle in front of our children?”

“Aiya! Aiya, Aiya, Aiya!” Tan Wenci cried out.

He was heartbroken.

They had just gotten together, and the two of them were already wearing rings.

The two families had just started discussing their engagement, but in Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo’s books, it could already be considered as an official engagement.

Fine!

Since they want to say that they are already engaged, so be it!

Even if they were to give in and accept that Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo had gotten engaged today.

Tan Mo was already thinking about their life after marriage?

Moreover, she was even thinking about the children they will be having?

Tan Wenci was greatly agitated.

“Second brother, are you saying that our families will be sitting together to discuss the engagement tomorrow?” Tan Mo said as she blinked her big, round eyes. There wasn’t a single part of her that expressed her unwillingness.

“He didn’t even propose properly, yet the both of you are engaged. Isn’t it too casual?” Tan Jinqi said.

Tan Mo wasn’t bothered by it. “Aiya, what marriage proposal? Since we’re getting engaged, isn’t it superfluous to go through the marriage proposal again? It’s too formal and meaningless.”

“I already know that we’re getting engaged. There won’t be any surprise if brother Zhiqian were to propose again. How pointless would that be? Besides, does it mean that he doesn’t value me just because he doesn’t propose to me?” Tan Mo said.

Tan Mo thought internally, “On my 18th birthday, Brother Zhiqian even came to my dormitory and waited downstairs until midnight to set off a huge fireworks display for me.”

Tan Mo didn’t dare to share that at exactly midnight of New Year’s Eve, Wei Zhiqian even came to set off fireworks for her.

If she had told them about this, her parents and brothers would definitely figure that Wei Zhiqian had sneaked into her bedroom.

Even if Wei Zhiqian didn’t go up to the dormitory, they’d know that she was the one who had snuck out.

“A surprise must be truly unexpected to be touching and surprising,” Tan Mo pouted. “I could already guess what would definitely happen. How boring would it be if it wasn’t surprising? Then what’s the point of receiving a proposal? But on the contrary, my engagement came too suddenly. It didn’t even cross my mind before today.”

As she spoke, Tan Mo felt a little thirsty so she sat down and poured herself some tea. She continued, “I had thought that since we just got together, it will take some time before our engagement happens. Who knew it would be decided so soon. I think this is enough of a surprise.”

Tan Mo cupped her chin as she smiled with her eyes forming crescents. She said maturely, “Life is full of surprises. You never know what will happen in the next second.”

Everyone from the Tan family: “…”

Tan Mo’s speech rendered them emotionless.

Originally, they weren’t really angry. They were simply too shocked.

Wei Zhiqian was too cunning.

They had just gotten together, and he had already turned Tan Mo from his girlfriend to his fiancée.

Now that Tan Mo had expressed her stance clearly, there was nothing they could say.

They could only wait until they met with the Wei family tomorrow to discuss it.

However, everyone instantly felt terrible at the thought of it.

The two of them had already worn engagement rings and already introduced each other as fiancée and fiancé. They even posted it on their WeChat Moments.

Discuss?

What discussion was there to be made?

There was no need to discuss at all.

Tan Wenci gloomily clutched at his heart and cried out “Aiyo Aiyo” as he returned to his room.

Tan Mo returned to her room. After taking a shower, she tidied up and sat comfortably on her bed. Her legs were tucked under the quilt blanket as she admired the ring on her left middle finger with delight.

It wasn’t that the ring was beautiful, but that the fact that it was an engagement ring worn on her finger.

Tan Mo exclaimed narcissistically as she looked at the ring, “Aiya! I’m only so young yet I’m already engaged. I’m really… I’m really too lovable!”

Wei Keli, on the other hand, was feeling troubled after leaving the old house in a daze.

The uncomfortable feeling in his heart grew with each passing minute.

He went out and found a random food stall on the street.

Although it was winter, the small shop still had many tables and chairs for its customers outside.
