Breakfast had just been served. Before they could tuck in to the meal, Wei Zhiqian arrived.
When the doorbell rang, Xu Mingzhen was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, âSomeoneâs come to pay New Yearâs greetings at this time?â
âItâs not that serious, is it?â Tan Wenci pursed his lips.
Coming at this time for New Yearâs visitations was not visiting, but causing disturbances to the host!
Because Auntie Guo wasnât around, Xu Mingzhen went to the entrance. She turned on the intercom and saw Wei Zhiqianâs face appear on the screen.
The corner of Xu Mingzhenâs mouth twitched.
She was careless. It was the New Year, and she actually forgot that Wei Zhiqian loved to do this.
Hearing that it was Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo hurriedly went to wait at the entrance.
When Wei Zhiqian entered, Tan Mo immediately went forward to hold his hand.
Tan Mo wanted to jump into Wei Zhiqianâs arms.
But in front of her parents, it was inappropriate.
âBrother Zhiqian, Happy New Year!â Tan Mo said with a smile.
âHappy New Year.â Wei Zhiqianâs eyes were full of warm smiles.
......
Then, he gave New Yearâs greetings to Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen.
âHave you had your breakfast?â Xu Mingzhen asked.
However, Wei Zhiqian probably didnât eat anything since he came so early in the morning.
As expected, Wei Zhiqian said, âI havenât eaten.â
Xu Mingzhen smiled and took a bowl and chopsticks for Wei Zhiqian, before serving him porridge.
âDad, Mom, weâre thinking of officially announcing today that Mo Mo and I are engaged,â Wei Zhiqian said.
Tan Wenci had just stuffed the dumplings into his mouth when he heard Wei Zhiqianâs words. He immediately forgot to chew.
However, he and Xu Mingzhen had also expected Wei Zhiqian to bring this up.
It was not easy for him to wait until Tan Mo was 20 years old before making it public.
Although it was not Tan Moâs 20th birthday yet.
But it was not that much later.
However, it was only the first day of the Lunar New Year and he wanted to immediately make it public. It was obvious that Wei Zhiqian was really anxious about this.
âSure.â Tan Wenci readily agreed.
Wei Zhiqian was delighted. He didnât expect it to go so smoothly.
Tan Jinsheng blurted out, âDad, you agreed so quickly?â
Tan Wenci wondered if this kid was stupid!
âDonât tell me you want to let your sister be secret lovers with Zhiqian?â Tan Wenci said unhappily.
Of course, it had to be made public.
Tan Jinsheng kept his mouth shut.
He had forgotten about this.
After getting Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhenâs approval, Wei Zhiqian immediately took out his phone.
âActually, Iâve already edited the content. Iâm just waiting for Mom and Dadâs approval before I post it on Weibo,â Wei Zhiqian said as he copied the content from the memo on his phone and pasted it onto Weibo, he clicked ;sendâ.
The Tan family members were all dumbstruck.
Sure enough, they had still underestimated Wei Zhiqian.
In terms of shamelessness, it seemed Wei Zhiqian took the cake.
âItâs done.â Wei Zhiqian looked both relieved and satisfied. He did not forget to urge Tan Mo, âMomo, you post it too. Have you edited it yet?â
âNo, itâs the same even if I write it now,â Tan Mo said as she picked up her phone, âLet me see how youâve written it first.â
Hearing that, everyone also picked up their phones. When they unlocked the screen, they saw that the time was exactly 8:01.
If they counted backwards, it should be 8:00 when Wei Zhiqian posted it.
Everyone entered Weibo and opened the latest Weibo post that Wei Zhiqian posted. Sure enough, it was 8:00.
Could this person have calculated the time and purposely waited for this moment to post?
Did he think it was auspicious or something?
Although no one asked, Wei Zhiqian was very considerate and thought that they might feel puzzled or simply use it as a conversational topic in order not to appear cold.
Either way, Wei Zhiqian said, âLetting Weiboâs technology sleep until eight oâclock is my last act of kindness.â
It was a holiday now, and there were many people who did not need to pay do New Yearâs visitations. They were very likely to take the opportunity to sleep until noon.
It was very likely that Weiboâs technology would be affected as well.
However, Wei Zhiqian definitely could not wait until noon.
Therefore, they were only allowed to sleep until 8 am.
Everyone was speechless.
He was really cunning.
They decided to focus their attention on Wei Zhiqianâs Weibo post.
Wei Zhiqian wrote: âIn the New Year, I have a happy event to share with everyone. Iâm engaged. @tan MO, thank you to my fiancée for ending my old bachelor life.â
Tan Mo did not expect Wei Zhiqian to say this.
Tan Wenci was also rarely this satisfied.
Because Wei Zhiqian was telling the truth.
His daughter was so young, to be able to accept Wei Zhiqian, an old bachelor, was a gift!
Tan Mo organized her words and likewise posted on Weibo, âI really like my fiancé @wei Zhiqian.â
Tan Jinqi looked at Tan Moâs post and felt that it looked a little familiar.
After a while, he remembered that there was a rather popular BGM in the flash drive video, âI Really Like My Dogâ.
Tan Jinqi looked at Wei Zhiqian.
These words were not wrong.
Wei Zhiqian was extremely touched when he saw Tan Moâs words.
He didnât expect that many netizens would have already woken up at eight in the morning.
These netizens were also shouldering the heavy responsibility of paying New Yearâs visitations. They were currently having breakfast at home.
Most of them were having dumplings.
When they were bored while eating, they would browse Weibo.
They would look at the news of the day and see if there were any interesting skits from the Spring Festival Gala the night before.
Unexpectedly, they were reminded of their single status through this display of love.
âWhat did I do wrong to be reminded of my singlehood early in the morning on the first day of the New Year?â
âItâs such a festive holiday. Why do all the happy events happen only to others?â
âIâm still living solo in my motherâs womb. Tan Mo is only 20 years old, but sheâs already engaged. Iâm so envious.â
âThe president is so much older, but yet managed to get together with someone so young.â
Even if Wei Zhiqian saw such words, he wouldnât be angry.
That was because he could!
Others didnât even have the opportunity to do so!
âAh, what kind of record is this for raising a little lady!â
âRaising a little lady to become his fiancée. The calculating president was certain about doing this.â
Tan Mo twitched as she read these comments. What did these netizens usually watch?
âThe presidents of the eight great clans all attach great importance to looks, right! Regardless of the other partyâs background, they are all beautiful. Looking at the news of the wealthy clans, there is no more eye-catching couple than them.â
âWhat you said is wrong. Although the wives of the presidents of the eight great clans are not from prominent backgrounds, they are all top talents from all walks of life. All of them have created outstanding careers to call their own. In other words, they didnât rely on their powerful family background, but on themselves to shine and make a name for themselves. Arenât they better than the daughters of the wealthy clans?â
âThe rich and powerful, the role models of women in the New Era!â
Wei Zhiqian was flabbergasted.
Why did the topic change to this?
Canât they just give him more blessings?
Wei Zhiqian felt that this was not good. Although he and Tan Mo had quite a number of fans, he still went to make it the number one trending topic, so that more people would see it.
After the engagement was announced, the next task was naturally to put the wedding on the agenda.
