Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 311 - Confession

Chapter 311: Confession

It was like watching a movie and, at the most exciting part, it suddenly disappeared.
It was like reading a novel that was really exciting, but the author stopped writing it halfway through…
Wei Keli did not feel well.
He finally couldn’t help but say in a questioning tone, “Mo Mo?”
Tan Mo sneered. The person who blinked first would lose.
“Brother Keli, I am sleepy and need to go back to sleep.” Tan Mo sent her final message: “Good night.”
Wei Keli was dumbfounded: “……”
How could he have let Tan Mo say good night just like that when he hadn’t yet said the things he wanted to say?
“Mo Mo!” Wei Keli interjected quickly. “Aren’t you curious about the person who set off the fireworks?”
Tan Mo answered: “Are you trying to say that it was you?”
Wei Keli felt slightly guilty, but finally he decided to say, “Actually I did it for you.”
Tan Mo was of age. For so many years, he had always planned to confess to Tan Mo on the day she came of age.
Although he had many things to criticize about Tan Mo…
Because Tan Mo had many areas that he was not satisfied with…
His family had instilled an idea in him for many years now, which was that he must marry Tan Mo.
Thus, even if he had many dissatisfactions toward Tan Mo, his thinking about marrying Tan Mo had never changed.
Moreover, Tan Mo was at least very pretty.
With Tan Mo’s face, he thought that he would be able to tolerate her many flaws.
Although he and Tan Mo had had chemistry between their families for so many years, they had never explicitly talked about this matter between themselves.
He thought that Tan Mo should fancy him.
Every time she’d seen him during all these years, she had been especially happy.
Every time she called him Brother Keli, it had seemed especially sweet.
She had even been willing to sacrifice herself in order for him to have a good relationship with Qin Murong, even though Qin Murong disliked her.
If Tan Mo could sacrifice herself for him to this extent, then of course she must like him, otherwise what could it be?
Thus, Wei Keli told himself, with Tan Mo’s affection for him and her many sacrifices for him, even with her many flaws, but because of this, and Tan Mo’s looks, Wei Keli would carry out his promise and not let Tan Mo down.
After all, Tan Mo had known from a young age that she would marry him in the future.
If he suddenly went back on his word, then wouldn’t that sadden Tan Mo and destroy the relationship between the two families?
He thought that Tan Mo was after all a young lady and definitely would want romance and was looking forward to him confessing his love to her. Then their relationship could be confirmed.
Therefore, he had planned to confess to Tan Mo this day and satisfy her wishes.
It was after all her 18th birthday. So he was willing to fulfil this small wish.
He did not expect that he would happen upon such a large fireworks display.
Nobody knew who had set off the fireworks and did not know their purpose.
Wei Keli’s little brain sprouted a sinister idea at that moment.
Since no one knew who had been responsible for the fireworks, then he might as well take the credit for them.
Anyway, even if someone wants to check up on the truth of his assertion and ask, they would not be able to find a person to ask.
He had money and was part of the Wei family. So if he said that he had arranged them, no one would be suspicious.
The first thing he wanted to do was to find out if Tan Mo knew.
In his view, although Tan Mo had a high IQ, it was only limited to her studies.
She was still a naïve young lady in other areas.
The Tan family had protected her too well, and Wei Zhiqian also protected her.
She had never faced any danger or evil.
The people surrounding her were also gentle and kind individuals.
Except for Yuan Keqing, who had bullied her…
Having a high IQ but not a scheming brain could be used to describe Tan Mo.
Thus, Wei Keli had had the idea of telling Tan Mo that he was the one who’d arranged the fireworks.
It would be enough to touch Tan Mo’s heart with surprise and romance.
He would confess to her tomorrow in person.
Wouldn’t Tan Mo agree on the spot?
Tan Mo almost sneered out loud when she saw Wei Keli’s reply.
Tan Mo directly took a screenshot and sent it to the Tan family group chat.
Tan Mo texted: “The fireworks were obviously arranged by uncle; he really is shameless!”
Tan Wenci: “Is he stupid?”
What an idiot!
Tan Mo: “I felt that something was off when he suddenly asked me about the fireworks. That’s why I pretended to not know. I wanted to see what he would say, but I didn’t expect this!”
Tan Jinsheng: “We must show this to Mom!”
Tan Jinyi: “What a disgusting man!”
Tan Mo: HMPH! “He still wants me to reply. What should I say to him? I will ignore him!”
Tan Wenci: “Block him directly!”
Tan Jinqi: “It is rare to see such an idiot. It would be such a pity to block him. I am quite interested in seeing what sort of idiotic things he will do in the future.”
Tan Mo felt that this brother thought just the way she did and happily said, “Me too, me too!”
Wei Keli was not worth further discussion in the Tan family.
Tan Mo stopped thinking about it after telling her family this news.
“Dad, brother, why are you not asleep?” Tan Mo was too excited to fall asleep because of Wei Zhiqian and the fireworks.
However, it was very late at this time.
Her question stumped Tan Wenci and his sons.
Since they were preparing a surprise, of course they could not tell Tan Mo about it.
Tan Jinqi answered with a question: “Why are you not asleep at this late hour?”
Tan Jinsheng quickly followed up and said, “Yes, don’t you want to grow anymore?”
“I am going to sleep now!” Once she heard that about growing taller, Tan Mo did not say anything else.
She wanted to grow taller now.
After they saw that Tan Mo had been dismissed by Tan Jinqi, everyone looked at him in admiration.
They guessed that all the IQ hadn’t gone to Tan Mo; some of it had been left for him.
It seemed like all the rest of them were idiots…?
…
Tan Wenci wasn’t as strong as his sons. He persisted until 3:00 am and couldn’t stop yawning.
“Dad, go and rest, leave the remaining work to the three of us,” Tan Jinqi advised him.
“Yes, just leave it to us,” Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi agreed
Tan Wenci really was unable to persist and said, “All right, then I will leave it to you. Don’t stay up too late, and get some sleep.”
However, Tan Jinqi and his brothers stayed up all night.
When Xu Mingzhen woke up, Tan Wenci was still asleep.
Today was Friday, and he should have gone to work.
However, for Tan Mo’s birthday, Tan Wenci had taken some leave.
So he didn’t need to wake up so early.
Xu Mingzhen didn’t wake him up and let him continue sleeping.
When she went down to the dining room, she saw Tan Jinqi and his brothers all had dark circles under their eyes.
Xu Mingzhen: “……”
“You didn’t sleep the whole night?” Xu Mingzhen asked.
“Wei Zhiqian had arranged fireworks for Mo Mo, and she was so happy because of it. We wanted to prepare a surprise for Mo Mo too,” Tan Jinyi said.
“……” Xu Mingzhen asked, “Did you think of any ideas?”
