Qin Muye said, “Forget it. When we return to school, we can ask her what exactly is going on. If she does not want to say, then we can observe on our own. I don’t believe that we can’t figure things out based on our understanding of her.”
As Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing were messaging each other privately, they did not ask Tan Mo any more questions.
Tan Mo heaved a breath of relief. She really did not know how to answer them.
After she finished breakfast, she quickly got ready and left for the Old Mansion.
***
When she arrived at the entrance of the Old Mansion, Butler Zhu was waiting at the door for Tan Mo as usual.
However, this time, Wei Zhiqian was beside Butler Zhu.
Tan Mo had already mentally prepared herself on the way so that her reaction would still be natural and nothing would be amiss when she saw Wei Zhiqian.
The moment she saw Wei Zhiqian, all her mental preparation crumbled.
Tan Mo’s gaze uncontrollably landed on Wei Zhiqian’s lips.
She thought of her dream again and remembered how he had kissed her aggressively.
It was as if it had happened in reality.
Tan Mo subconsciously pressed her lips into a line and sucked them into her mouth, secretly licking them.
Tan Mo guiltily swallowed and pretended that nothing was wrong. She ran over. “Butler Zhu, Uncle!”
Tan Mo did not dare hug Wei Zhiqian now. She was worried that she could not control herself and might take advantage of Wei Zhiqian.
She directly jumped into Butler Zhu’s embrace.
Wei Zhiqian was confused.
His embrace was empty, and it did not feel good.
Wei Zhiqian was jealous and envious as he turned to look at Butler Zhu.
Unexpectedly, Butler Zhu turned his head and looked at Wei Zhiqian. He provocatively raised his eyebrows at him. He smiled when he said to Tan Mo, “Momo, I missed you to death.”
“Me too!” Tan Mo clung to Butler Zhu for a while before finally leaving Butler Zhu’s embrace.
She saw Wei Zhiqian extend his arms to her.
Tan Mo cleared her throat and said seriously, “Uncle, I am an adult now and a lady. It is not proper to do this with you anymore.”

Wei Zhiqian was speechless.
Tan Mo had said this before but had never acted on her words.
Why did she remember this again today?
“Butler Zhu, let’s quickly go inside,” Tan Mo urged.
“Okay, okay.” Butler Zhu held Tan Mo’s hand and proceeded to walk inside.
Wei Zhiqian was behind them by a step. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Tan Mo’s back.
He felt that there was something amiss with the young lady today.
It was as if she was avoiding him on purpose.
Could it be that when she returned last night, she had thought about the matter again and continued to be angry with him? Had she yet to forgive him?
Tan Mo went to see the two elders. She chatted with them for a long while before she went to see the other people in the Old Mansion.
Liu happily took out the flower species, which he had not planted yet, and said to Tan Mo, “Momo, this is the new species. I had a difficult time finding it and have yet to plant it. I was waiting for you to plant it together.”
Chef Wang came over and said, “I developed a new dish this month and adjusted the proportions. I will make the final version for you today to try.”
Everyone was speechless.
They did not want to say that they had eaten the trial version for half a month.
They would not be able to eat it again even if the final version was incredibly tasty.
“Okay, okay!” Tan Mo quickly agreed.
“Uncle Liu, let’s plant the flowers first,” Tan Mo said excitedly.
In the beginning, Tan Mo liked to plant flowers because she liked to play with soil.
When she was planting, she could also play in the dirt.
She then saw that the flowers she planted germinated into sprouts, slowly grew, and sprouted beautiful flowers.
The process was amazing and fulfilling.
As time passed, she could not help but grow to love those famous and expensive flowers that were difficult to grow.
The harder they were to plant, the more troublesome it was to take care of them. Yet, it was also more fulfilling.
Tan Mo slowly fell in love with the process of planting flowers.
Suddenly, a hand appeared and took away the flower species in Liu’s hand.
Liu followed the hand that took away the flower species in confusion. He looked up that arm and finally saw the owner of it.
It was Wei Zhiqian.
“Young Master… You are…” Liu had a bad premonition.
“It has been a while since I spent time with Momo, so I will plant the flower with her.” Wei Zhiqian did not feel guilty at all.
Liu’s face was full of disappointment, but he could not fight with Wei Zhiqian.
Liu was extremely sad. He had waited for half a month and stopped himself from planting the flower since he was waiting for Tan Mo.
It was probably Liu’s look of sadness that resulted in Wei Zhiqian’s heart softening.
As if he had found his conscience, Wei Zhiqian said to Liu, “Tell me what the flower species of this seed is, and I will find it again for you. Otherwise, I will find a way to find the seed of other flower species that you want.”
Liu looked at Wei Zhiqian plaintively. Was this a question of compensation?
He had wanted to plant it with Tan Mo.
There were too few friends who were able to share the joy of planting flowers.
“Young master, do you know how to plant it?” Liu asked.
“I don’t,” Wei Zhiqian said straightforwardly and with confidence.
Liu was silent.
He was about to say that if Wei Zhiqian did not know how to do it, he could advise him from the side.
It was impossible to chase Wei Zhiqian away. He could not hope that he would participate somehow.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiqian said, “But never mind as long as Momo knows how to do it.”
“She has been planting flowers with you since she was young. She is a professional and knows enough to teach me.”
After he learned, he could plant flowers with Tan Mo in the future without anyone else.
Liu was very suspicious. He felt that after Wei Zhiqian learned how to do it, he would kick him away and replace his position.
Of course, he was not referring to his position in the Old Mansion.
He was referring to the position of planting flowers with Tan Mo.
“Then it’s settled. Liu, you can get busy with other things,” Wei Zhiqian said ruthlessly. He gently held Tan Mo’s hand and left.
Liu was speechless.
What could he be busy with?
His job was to plant flowers.
Wei Zhiqian had snatched the flower species, so his work was gone.
Aunt Zhang patted Liu’s shoulder and consoled him. “Liu, be positive. At least, you got to plant flowers with Momo for 12 years. We found it odd that the young master let you plant flowers with Momo for such a long time. It was within expectations that he could not bear it any longer and finally took action today.”
“It was expected.” Chef Wang patted Liu’s other shoulder. “You had 12 years to enjoy.”
Liu remained silent.
Butler Zhu consoled him. “It’s alright. The young master is busy now, and it is not as if he will be around every time Momo comes. When he is not around, you can still plant flowers with Momo.”
“What Butler Zhu said is right,” Aunt Zhang said. “You can take this opportunity to tell the young master all the flower species that you wanted but were unable to obtain and let him think of a way. After you get them, don’t be as anxious as this time.. You must wait for Momo to be here alone. When the young master is not around, take out the flower species and plant them with Momo!”
