Chapter 313: Wei Keli Makes a Fool of Himself

Wei Keli had never picked up on the fact that Tan Mo had not accepted any of his presents for 12 years.

years!

Wei Keli had not even noticed.

It was either a case of stupidity or just the fact that he’d never seen Tan Mo as an important person.

Otherwise, how could he not have realized after so many years?

Tan Mo felt that it was definitely a little bit of both reasons..

“Brother Keli, this present is too expensive.” Tan Mo smiled as she glanced at the branded bag Wei Keli was holding. “Thank you anyway, Brother Keli.”

She made no move and nor did she have the intention of accepting Wei Keli’s present.

As he had placed all his attention on what he wanted to say next, Wei Keli did not realize that Tan Mo was rejecting him and thought that she seemed very happy.

He did not mind that Tan Mo did not take the present.

Anyway, from his viewpoint, Tan Mo had accepted the present.

He held on to it temporarily and said, “Mo Mo, you are 18 years old.”

Tan Mo nodded and looked at Wei Keli in confusion.

No matter how intelligent she was, she had not expected that even at this late stage, Wei Keli still was thinking of having her as his girlfriend.

She had no idea that he even planned to marry her.

She really had not expected that Wei Keli had come over to ask her to marry him.

For so many years, Wei Keli had always prioritized profits.

He had spent all his energy on cultivating a good relationship with Qin Murong.

He had hung out with Yuan Keqing, although there was not much benefit to that financially.

However, Yuan Zhengwen’s business was doing okay.

It was comparable to the Tan family’s in the past.

If Li Xiangrong felt that the Tan family of the past was worthy, Wei Keli might have also found the Yuan family now, which was comparable to the Tan family of the past, worthy.

Moreover, the Yuan family had Yuan Keqing as their only daughter.

She was different from Tan Mo who had three older brothers.

Tan Mo would have a big dowry, but her inheritance would be split with her three brothers.

As for Yuan Keqing, because she was the only daughter, she would be able to inherit all the assets of the Yuan family.

When that time came, wouldn’t the Yuan family’s company fall on Yuan Keqing?

If Yuan Keqing did not have the ability to manage the business, it was possible that the Yuan family’s company would become the property of the Yuan family’s son-in-law.

With this comparison, Yuan Keqing was more valuable than Tan Mo.

Moreover, Yuan Keqing was loyal to Wei Keli.

She had adored Wei Keli all this time.

The fulfillment Wei Keli found from Yuan Keqing was much more than from Tan Mo.

After all, Tan Mo had always treated Wei Keli like he was an idiot.

Tan Mo had thought these things through before.

Since the benefits from Qin Murong and Yuan Keqing were more than from Tan Mo, then Wei Keli would naturally not have any thoughts about her.

Tan Mo would not be surprised if Wei Keli decided to marry Yuan Keqing instead.

Therefore, even with Tan Mo’s intelligence, she did not think that there was any chance of Wei Keli thinking of marrying her.

Actually, Tan Mo had forgotten about her relationship with Wei Zhiqian.

Wei Zhiqian treated her better than his own biological nephew.

It was not that Wei Keli had never thought about Yuan Keqing and the benefits she could bring.

However, he had felt that compared to Wei Zhiqian, the profits the Yuan family could bring him were little.

Compared to Yuan Keqing, Tan Mo would garner less benefits from her family.

However, Tan Mo had Wei Zhiqian.

If he married Tan Mo, would he need to worry whether Wei Zhiqian would help him?

It was precisely because of Tan Mo that Wei Zhiqian had to put him in an important position.

If he wanted Tan Mo to lead a good life, Wei Zhiqian had to first let him lead a good life.

After comparing, Wei Keli chose Tan Mo.

However, he did not give up on Yuan Keqing totally.

He had kept her hanging on as she might still be of use.

One should always be well prepared.

“In the past, because you were still young, I never told you,” Wei Keli thought that he was looking at Tan Mo with deep emotion. “I had always been waiting for you to come of age for many years.”

Tan Mo: “……”

She felt that something was wrong with what he was saying.

“Mo Mo, will you be my girlfriend?” Wei Keli said with what he hoped passed for passion. “I prepared for a long time to confess to you and have been waiting for you to come of age before I told you.”

Tan Mo: “……”

“Brother Keli, I came of age only today.. Could it be that you liked me before?” Isn’t that perverted?

You were an adult, and you liked an underaged child.

Were you a beast?

Wei Keli didn’t understand what Tan Mo was hinting at and nodded his head readily, “Yes”.

“Brother Keli, you are in the wrong. I was previously underaged. How could you…how could you like a child?” Tan Mo stepped back with a fearful expression and distanced herself from Wei Keli. “Could it be that you…you are…a ped…”

At her words, Wei Keli knew what was coming…

Without waiting for Tan Mo to finish her words, Wei Keli hurriedly cut her off, “No! Mo Mo, please don’t misunderstand!”

Wei Keli hurriedly explained as he saw that Tan Mo was backing away with a cautious expression, “Since I was very young, my mom had tasked me to take good care of you. You should also know that both our families had this idea. They had agreed early on that when both of us grew up, we should marry.

“When I was young, I saw you as a younger sister. I knew that I would marry you when I grew up and had thus waited for you to grow up every day. Now that you are 18 and are of legal age, we can be together.” Wei Keli took a step forward, “Mo Mo, don’t be afraid, I am not a pervert.”

“Brother Keli, you must have misunderstood everything. Both our families did not agree that we would be together. Moreover, I also only saw you as an older brother who I was close with and did not have any other thoughts about you,” Tan Mo said. while attempting to hold back her disgust.

Where did Wei Keli get his confidence from?

That she would definitely be with him when she was of age?

“Mo Mo, you are now an adult and should view our relationship from another angle.” Wei Keli continued moving forward. “Our being together is a sentiment shared by both our families. Rest assured that I will treat you well.”

“Brother Keli, does Keqing know about this?” Tan Mo asked.

Wei Keli paused slightly, and his expression changed as he asked, “How is this related to Sister Keqing?”

“It can’t be that you couldn’t tell? Brother Keli, you are so intelligent.” Tan Mo smiled. “Keqing has always liked you.”

“Keqing is my younger sister, I cannot do anything to make her sad.” Tan Mo continued, “She likes you, and I had always felt that both of you should be together.”

By mentioning Yuan Keqing now, she wondered with Wei Keli’s selfishness, how would he treat Yuan Keqing?

She really wanted to see how these two people would love and hurt each other!

Tan Mo already couldn’t wait to cheer them on.

“But you are the one I like,” Wei Keli said immediately. “You were young before, and I saw you as a sister. But now that you are grown up, I view you as an adult. Then, I realized that I actually like you.

“Mo Mo, don’t sacrifice yourself for others’ happiness. I will explain to Keqing,” Wei Keli said gently. “Rest assured.”
