He did not even use foul language.
He was usually a very calm and collected person. But he was losing his composure in the group chat.
Tan Mo turned her head and saw Wei Zhiqian still chatting without any change in his expression, and was once again impressed by Wei Zhiqianâs subtlety.
The people in the group stopped teasing him and launched their Weibo to take a look.
Qi Chenglin: âI didnât expect Qianzi to have so many wife-fans on Weibo.â
Wei Zhiqian rolled his eyes. âLook at what youâre saying. Iâm handsome. Why couldnât I have wife-fans?â
Chu Zhaoyang: â@Tan Mo.â
Wei Zhiqian: â... Letâs be civil! Donât start calling for backup like this!â
Wei Zilin: âYouâve only been together for a short while, yet youâre already starting to spout nonsense. What a scumbag.â
Qin Mufeng: âWhy didnât you tag Tan Mo on Weibo? Could it be that the scumbag has a guilty conscience?â
Wei Zhiqian: â... Thatâs enough!â
Although Wei Zhiqian knew that they were joking, he still explained to them Tan Moâs attitude towards this matter.
Han Zhuoling: âTan Mo may be young, but sheâs so much reliable than you.â
Wei Zhiqian: â...â
Han Zhuofeng: â@Tan Mo, brother Qianzi hasnât flaunted your relationship on his WeChat Moments yet, has he? Be careful, all scumbag men donât publicize their relationship statuses on their WeChat Moments.
Everyone was just chatting in the group chat. No one expected Han Zhuofeng to send a message like this.
When they saw it, it was already too late.
Zhao Gushen: âDelete it!â
Nan Jingheng: âDelete it quickly!â
Yan Beicheng: âHurry up and delete it!â
Han Zhuofeng had a puzzled look on his face.
Did they feel that he had gone overboard with his joke?
Tan Mo wouldnât get angry because of this, right?
It was obviously a joke.
Yan Huaian: âDonât let Qianzi see it! Arenât you reminding him to continue his crazy display of affection?â
They had already seen enough of each otherâs display of affection and did not need more.
Han Zhuofeng lamented mentally: I am still too naive and didnât think of this problem.
While there was still time, he hurriedly deleted the message.
Tan Mo was chatting with Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing.
Qin Muye had also seen Wei Zhiqianâs Weibo post and immediately asked about it in their personal group chat.
Ming Yeqing was originally unaware of what was going on, but she soon caught on after seeing Qin Muyeâs message.
Qin Muye: âWhatâs up with Brother Zhiqian? Why didnât he tag you? He has already announced his engagement, and he still wants to keep your relationship under wraps?
âNo, no,â Tan Mo hurriedly gave a brief explanation.
âThat makes sense.â Qin Muye understood where Tan Mo was coming from.
Ming Yeqing: âAnd itâs not just brother Zhiqian, Momo will also receive vile speculations because of this. Itâs a pretty good plan to announce brother Zhiqianâs engagement first to let people know that he is no longer single, then wait until next year when Momo is 20 years old before revealing that she is his fiancée.â
Tan Mo was very busy. Other than chatting with Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing, she also had to keep up with the conversation in the 8864 group chat from time to time.
After she finished reading Ming Yeqingâs reply, she switched over to the 8864 group chat again and happened to see Han Zhuofeng delete a message he sent.
Tan Mo did not have the time to read Han Zhuofengâs words before it was replaced with the words âthis message was deletedâ.
Tan Mo was very curious about what it was, so she asked Wei Zhiqian, âWhat did Han Zhuofeng send just now? I didnât see it.â
âHow coincidental, I saw it.â Wei Zhiqian grinned and repeated Han Zhuofengâs words.
Then he texted in the group chat, âIs there a point in deleting it? I already saw it.â
After saying that, Wei Zhiqian turned over and looked at Tan Mo with a twinkle in his eyes. He resembled a boy who had thought of a bad idea.
âWhat are you plotting?â Tan Mo blinked and asked. Even if Wei Zhiqian had a bad idea, it was definitely not targeted at her.
In Tan Moâs opinion, it was most likely for these people in the group.
âSpeaking of which, we havenât taken a selfie together before,â Wei Zhiqian realized that he had neglected another thing.
Just like how he forgot to announce on his Weibo, he had only remembered to announce the news of his relationship through a banquet in person, and completely forgot to publicize it on his WeChat Moments.
Wei Zhiqianâs WeChat friend circle was limited, and there were even fewer friends who were on his privacy-restricted list to view his WeChat Moments.
All of them were already in the group chat and had long known about Wei Zhiqian and Tan Moâs relationship.
However, this did not hinder Wei Zhiqianâs determination to show off his relationship and affection for Tan Mo in his WeChat Moments.
âThank goodness for Zhuofengâs reminder.â Wei Zhiqian was giving Han Zhuofeng very high affirmation at this point. âItâs unsuitable to publicize too much on Weibo, but my WeChat Moments are a small circle of trustworthy people. We can take a selfie and post it.â
â...â Tan Mo was silent for a moment before replying, âArenât those in the group chat the only ones who can see your WeChat Moments?â
What was the point of posting the selfie on WeChat Moments when it would still be the same group of people seeing it.
âThatâs not the same.â Wei Zhiqian nodded and emphasized, âItâs still necessary to have a sense of ceremony. Saying it in the group and posting it on WeChat Moments arenât the same.â
âCome quickly.â Wei Zhiqian pulled Tan Mo.
Even if the lights in the car were on, it couldnât compare to the lighting in broad daylight.
Fortunately, the phoneâs night-time shooting function was very good and could still take a clear picture even in extreme darkness, without the presence of any light.
The picture would come out well even with the dim lighting in the car.
As both of them were good-looking enough, even the poor lighting in the car didnât have much effect on their appearance.
It even gave the effect of a dark filter on the picture.
Wei Zhiqian didnât look for any angles and simply stuck his hand out and took the picture.
Tan Mo didnât care as long as the picture didnât turn out horrible.
Even with Wei Zhiqianâs poor angle, the picture still turned out pretty good.
Wei Zhiqian was very satisfied, but he still asked Tan Mo for her opinion.
âNot bad, you can post it.â Tan Mo nodded.
They didnât even need to edit the picture.
Thus, Wei Zhiqian posted two pictures on his WeChat Moments. One was the selfie they had just taken, and the other was the same photo of the ring that he posted on Weibo.
Wei Zhiqian captioned it: âMy fiancée.â
After posting it, Wei Zhiqian marveled at his work before saying to Tan Mo: âYou should post it too.â
âPost? What should I say? âMy fiancéâ?â Tan Mo was scared. âWeâre not officially engaged yet, and we havenât mentioned anything to my parents. What if they get angry?â
âOkay, then you can post it tomorrow.â Wei Zhiqian was very confident that he would be successfully engaged to Tan Mo tomorrow.
Tan Moâs WeChat Moments were much more complicated than his.
It was dominated by students from Beijing University.
However, Tan Mo could set up a restricted list if she didnât want it to be seen by them.
Tan Mo sighed and said, âYour post was visible to my parents and brother, right?â
Wei Zhiqian had added all the members of the Tan family on WeChat.
âI forgot to change the privacy.â
Wei Zhiqian had really forgotten about it. âI only thought that those who could see my WeChat Moments were all our people, so I didnât set a separate restricted list.â
âThen Iâll just post it. Theyâll still nag if they saw it. Itâs better for me to just post it and let them fire away at one shot..â Tan Mo felt that it was better to endure their chidings all in one go.
