“Big brother, come in quickly.” Tan Mo hurriedly made way.
Seeing Tan Jinqi come in, her heart was beating rapidly, afraid that Tan Jinqi would discover something.
Tan Jinqi walked to the table and raised his eyebrows fiercely.
He took a closer look at the dishes on the table. It was even more abundant than when he had peeked through the door just now.
He saw that she had already eaten half of each dish.
Each plate did not look like it was eaten much, but because there were so many dishes, even if she only ate a small portion of each dish, with so many dishes added together, it was really not a small amount.
These were all eaten by Tan Mo alone?
Tan Jinqi looked at Tan Mo. “Looks like you were really hungry.”
Tan Mo: “…”
She could only nod guiltily. “Yes… Yes.”
“Are you sure you can finish eating all these?” Tan Jinqi asked as he sat down.
Tan Mo thought inwardly that Wei Zhiqian would definitely be able to finish the food if they were to eat together.
“Aren’t you here, big brother?” Tan Mo smiled guiltily.
Tan Jinqi chuckled. “Weren’t you eating alone before I came?”
“I… I unknowingly ordered too much.” Tan Mo rubbed her stomach guiltily, “I felt extremely hungry when I ordered the food. I wanted to eat everything, so I ordered this much. I only realized that it was a little too much when I arrived. However, because I was too hungry at that time, I felt that I would be able to finish all of it.”
Tan Mo lowered her head, not daring to look at Tan Jinqi.
It was really too difficult to watch Tan Jinqi lie.
“You said you could finish it, so I even thought I would ask for more if it wasn’t enough.” Tan Jinqi smiled. “Are you full?”
“I… I can eat more.” Tan Mo was full, but she could only bite the bullet and continue eating.
“Then eat more,” Tan Jinqi said as he looked around the room. “I thought you didn’t want me to come in and eat with you.”
“That’s not true.” Tan Mo lowered her head and said, “It’s because I felt that I’ve already eaten, and if you came it would be like you were eating my leftovers, and that’s not good.”
“When did you become so polite with me?” Tan Jinqi was about to pick up his chopsticks when he realized there was only one set of tableware on the table, which was Tan Mo’s. “Besides, this isn’t leftovers. You’ve eaten, but we’re all family. There’s nothing to dislike.”
Tan Mo was feeling guilty, so she didn’t notice that there wasn’t any tableware on the table.
She even specifically counted, and there was only her own tableware left on the table. She had put Wei Zhiqian’s away, and it could not be seen at all.
Tan Jinqi should not be able to spot any flaws.
“There’s no tableware for me.” Tan Jinqi saw that Tan Mo didn’t seem to have reacted at all, so he could only sigh and remind her helplessly.
“I’ll get someone to send it over.” Tan Mo said and quickly called for room service.
Tan Jinqi went to the washroom quietly.
After Tan Mo hung up the phone, she turned around and found that Tan Jinqi was gone.
Tan Mo’s heart jumped nervously in her throat.
“Big brother?” Tan Mo called.
But Tan Jinqi didn’t answer.
“Big brother!” Tan Mo’s voice was full of anxiety.
“Kacha!”
The bathroom door opened.
Tan Mo heard the sound and looked over.
She saw Tan Jinqi walk out from inside.
“I went to wash my hands. What’s wrong?” Tan Jinqi walked over and asked.
“No, I just hung up the phone and didn’t see you.” Tan Mo looked at the bathroom.
Her heart was in her mouth.
Wei Zhiqian was hiding in the bathroom.
Big brother went in, but didn’t find him?
Seeing that Tan Jinqi didn’t say anything, Tan Mo didn’t dare to ask, afraid that she would be exposed.
After a while, the doorbell rang again.
“It should be the cutlery,” Tan Mo said, but she didn’t dare to get up.
She was afraid that if she went to the door, Tan Jinqi would find Wei Zhiqian.
Fortunately, this time, Tan Jinqi took the initiative to say, “Don’t move. I’ll open the door.”
Tan Mo agreed. When Tan Jinqi reached the door, she quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom.
The bathroom was not big, so she could see it at a glance.
There was no closet to hide people in.
The only bathtub that could hide people was also empty.
Wei Zhiqian was not there.
Tan Mo’s heart could not relax.
Where could Wei Zhiqian go?
He was clearly here just now.
Tan Mo came out with a conflicted look on her face.
Tan Jinqi was carrying a tray to the table. He placed the cutlery on the tray on the table and casually placed the tray to the side.
He didn’t let the waiter in.
“You went to the washroom too?” Tan Jinqi asked.
“Yeah.” Tan Mo nodded.
Although she didn’t know where Wei Zhiqian went, since he wasn’t in the washroom, if Tan Jinqi went again, she didn’t need to be afraid of him finding out.
Previously, Tan Mo had already eaten her fill. Now, she was forcing herself to eat a little more.
Since she had said that she was hungry, even if her stomach bursts, she had to continue eating.
But because she was not hungry, Tan Mo ate slowly, one bite at a time.
With Tan Jinqi around, the dishes were all gradually eaten up.
However, Tan Jinqi was also very full.
Although he did not find anyone, he still felt that there was someone in this room.
Regardless of whether there was someone or not, he had to finish the dishes.
It seemed that Tan Mo definitely wouldn’t be able to eat.
If there was no one else, and it was really just Tan Mo alone, then he couldn’t let the leftovers go to waste.
However, if there really was such a person, then it would be perfect. He would finish all the dishes, leaving that person with nothing to eat.
However, Tan Jinqi wasn’t sure if there really was anyone.
Even if there was doubt, there was no way to confirm it.
Tan Mo said that it was a good thing that the windows had been opened earlier to get some fresh air.
Perhaps because this hotel was built on the top of the mountain, the floor was not high. Moreover, the glass doors of the French windows could still be opened.
In addition, there was the aroma of the food. Even the slight fishy smell was covered.
That was why Tan Jinqi could not smell anything wrong.
After dinner, Tan Jinqi called the room service to clean up everything.
No matter if there was anyone, there was nothing left.
Tan Mo looked at the empty plates and her heart twitched.
Her uncle had not eaten much. Although she did not know where he was now, she knew that he was hungry anyway.
Thinking of this, Tan Mo felt even more guilty.
“I have to continue working in the afternoon.” Tan Jinqi looked at the time. “If you are bored, just walk around. The hotel has a tour guide service. Ask the hotel to send someone to accompany you. Don’t go alone.”
“If you go alone, I will be worried.” Tan Jinqi stood at the door and instructed Tan Mo.
Tan Mo agreed readily. After sending Tan Jinqi away, she quickly closed the door and called, “Uncle!”
Then, she gave Wei Zhiqian a call.
In the end, she heard the muffled ring of his cell phone.
She looked for the sound and found that Wei Zhiqian’s cell phone was hidden under the messy quilt.
He had been in a hurry just now to hide, so Wei Zhiqian didn’t have time to take his cell phone.
Now, Tan Mo couldn’t find Wei Zhiqian through his cell phone.
But her uncle was indeed in this room.
The room was only so big, where could he go?
Just when Tan Mo was anxious, she heard the sound of knocking on the window.
