He was even looking a little dazed.

This made Wei Zhiqian fall into deep thought.

Xu Dashi... didn’t seem to be very smart. Was he really suitable to be Kefeng Films’ President?

Wei Zhiqian said straightforwardly, “Not only do you not have to hide it, but you can also let everyone know and be happy for us.”

Xu Dashi: “...”

“Especially the colleagues in the company. They will definitely be curious after they saw us holding hands. If someone is curious, you can say just let them know. Don’t let the employees work with doubts. If they are full of doubts that are left unanswered, it will not be good if it affects their work efficiency.”

“In order not to affect the employees’ work efficiency, we ought to satisfy their curiosity,” Wei Zhiqian said earnestly.

Xu Dashi: “...”

The boss is so flashy...

“I understand,” Xu Dashi said.

Wei Zhiqian looked carefully. Xu Dashi seemed to have really understood him.

Ah, Xu Dashi could still be saved.

After they had departed from Kefeng, Xu Dashi went back to continue staring at the problem for Broken Continent’s brand advertisements.

Although Wei Zhiqian said that he slept early last night and slept on the plane today, no matter how spacious the first-class seat was, it was impossible for him to rest well.

Tan Mo noticed that Wei Zhiqian had dark circles under his eyes.

“Do you want to go back to the company directly, or go home and rest for a while?” Tan Mo asked.

She wanted Wei Zhiqian to go back and rest first, even if it was just taking a short afternoon nap.

There’s no difference if he went back to work in the afternoon.

But if Wei Zhiqian insisted on going back to work, she couldn’t stop him.

Wei Zhiqian wanted to take Tan Mo home.

He was indeed a little tired and wanted to go back and catch up on his sleep.

He wasn’t planning on doing anything with Tan Mo.

He hadn’t seen Tan Mo for so many days and really missed her.

They had video calls every night and would fall asleep together without ending the call so that when they woke up in the morning, they would see each other.

However, they were still separated by the screen, and not truly in each other’s arms.

Wei Zhiqian really missed the feeling of hugging Tan Mo to sleep in his arms.

But Tan Jinqi was also there. Wei Zhiqian could not say anything about going home even if he wanted to.

He raised his eyebrows at Tan Mo and rolled his eyes in Tan Jinqi’s direction. “I also really want to go home and rest, but...”

The other half of this statement was entirely subjective on the listener’s understanding.

Tan Mo knew what the other half of the statement was. Wei Zhiqian wanted to say that she couldn’t go back with him.

And what Tan Jinqi heard was: he had to go back to the company.

Tan Jinqi sneered. Did Wei Zhiqian think he was an idiot?

“Alright, stop pretending.” Tan Jinqi’s face was dark.

They’re even playing charades in front of him now?

Did they really think that he couldn’t tell?

The act they were putting on was infuriating to watch.

“I’ll go back first,” Tan Jinqi said.

Tan Mo looked at Tan Jinqi in surprise.

Why did Big Brother suddenly become so easy to talk to!

Looking at Tan Mo’s surprised expression, Tan Jinqi felt tired and sad.

This younger sister truly wasn’t his anymore.

“Do you really think we don’t know about the two of you?” Tan Jinqi said unhappily. “We just didn’t expose you.”

If they didn’t expose them, both of them would have some scruples and would still continue putting on an act.

If they outrightly exposed them, there would be nothing holding them back. They would even start to live together openly.

“Big Brother, then why are you saying it now?” Tan Mo blinked his big eyes and asked.

Tan Jinqi: “...”

He was the one who had called them out, but Tan Mo’s lack of intention to hide it was too heart-wrenching.

“I’m so tired seeing the two of you acting like this,” Tan Jinqi said. He couldn’t control her anyway. If he was going to be treated as a fool and deceived by them, he might as well go all out.

Tan Mo looked at Tan Jinqi embarrassedly.

However, her embarrassment didn’t stop her from hugging Wei Zhiqian’s arm.

Tan Jinqi felt that his eyes were hurting from this sight. He waved his hand in disdain. “Alright, if you want to accompany him home or go to the company, do as you please.”

Stop pretending.

“Big Brother, does this mean that you’re not against the both of us...” Tan Mo was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

“Don’t act innocent after taking advantage of your Big Brother,” Tan Jinqi said as he glared at Tan Mo.

“I can turn a blind eye to it,” Tan Jinqi said, “But your parents and other brothers might not be able to do it. I’m already gritting my teeth to admit that I can do this. Don’t expect me to speak up for you.”

They’ll have to figure out what to do to get past the rest of the Tan family.

“That’s good enough.” Tan Mo wasn’t that greedy, to begin with.

It was already a pleasant surprise that Tan Jinqi was willing to let go.

Tan Jinqi sighed, his heart aching.

The happier Tan Mo was, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

“Both of you...”

Tan Jinqi felt that it might be a little awkward for him to be saying this was an older brother, but he wouldn’t be at ease if he remind them.

In the end, he whispered to Wei Zhiqian, “Protect her well. She’s still young.”

Although he said it to Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo heard it as well.

Tan Mo was no longer an ignorant girl.

She could instantly understand the meaning of those jokes.

Although Tan Jinqi’s words were vague, Tan Mo still understood them instantly.

Tan Mo blushed in embarrassment and hid behind Wei Zhiqian. She covered her face and rested her forehead on Wei Zhiqian’s back.

Her petite frame was completely hidden behind Wei Zhiqian’s back.

Although she understood the meaning, she was still embarrassed when her own brother is the one reminding them about that!

Wei Zhiqian nodded. “Definitely.”

There was no need for Tan Jinqi to instruct him. He would protect her well.

Tan Jinqi didn’t want to look at Wei Zhiqian now.

Wei Zhiqian’s reply was equivalent to completely confirming all of his previous guesses.

There was no way Tan Jinqi could feel good after that.

Tan Jinqi gritted his teeth and glanced at Wei Zhiqian before turning around and leaving.

When Tan Jinqi was gone, Wei Zhiqian finally let out a laugh.

“At least in front of your big brother, we don’t have to hide anymore.” Wei Zhiqian felt a lot more relaxed.

Finally, they felt like they didn’t need to hide.

Even Tan Mo heaved a sigh of relief.

“Then in the future, should we ask Big Brother to come out and cover for us?” Tan Mo immediately thought of utilizing Tan Jinqi.

Wei Zhiqian: “...”

His heart ached for Tan Jinqi.

The little girl should have a heart.

“Forget it.” It was better to be kind. Wei Zhiqian miraculously considered for Tan Jinqi for once.”It’s already very rare for him to turn a blind eye. Let’s not provoke him anymore.”

“Alright then.” Tan Mo still felt a little regretful.

However, she was still very happy that they no longer needed to hide in front of Tan Jinqi.

“Shall we go home now?” Tan Mo asked, her eyes were sparkling.. She wished that they could reach home in an instant.
