Cute Brother Badass Family Protector

Chapter 12

With his chin raised as he gazed at Tan Mo triumphantly, Qin Muxiao looked tall and mighty, as if waiting for his people to pay tribute.

Unexpectedly, Tan Mo suddenly ran away with the puppet in his hand.

Everyone is dumbfounded. Qin Murong and Qin Muxiao thought that the problem was over. Who would have thought that suddenly, Tan Mo suddenly ran away?

“Pursue him!” Qin Murong was slow by a second or two before thinking of chasing after Tan Mo.

Wei Keli quickly moved.

Qin Muxiao and Yuan Keqing were younger and had shorter legs, so they lagged behind.

Qin Murong saw that Tan Mo was actually heading towards Wei Zhiqian, and he suddenly felt nervous.

If Tan Mo spoke nonsense to Wei Zhiqian, it would not look good on him. Wei Zhiqian probably hated him.

“Kakak Murong, don't worry.” Wei Keli's voice sounded low behind him. “Mo Mo only met Little Uncle once and was not familiar with him.”

Qin Murong paused for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief.

He smiled at Wei Keli.

Wei Keli was kind and familiar with her, so she acknowledged that she would become her aunt in the future.

It was just that he and Wei Zhiqian were not engaged yet, so Wei Keli should not call him that. Wei Keli always called him ‘Kakak Murong’.

Wei Keli's touching gesture made Qin Murong very happy. He patted Wei Keli's arm affectionately and said, “I'll remember how you helped me today.”

Wei Keli was not yet mature enough to be able to control his emotions. His young face was filled with excitement.

If he could have a good relationship with the future wife of the heir of the family, his life would be much better in the future.

Soon, Qin Murong heard Tan Mo calling, “Small Uncle!”

Qin Murong sneered. “At a young age, he was already shameless! They had only met once, yet he had already summoned Zhiqian's 'Little Uncle. Does he really think that there are people who can call him that?”

In terms of seniority, there was nothing wrong with Tan Mo calling him that.

But now, his target was Wei Zhiqian, and only a known person could call him that.

Otherwise, one would only suffer from shame.

Waiting for Tan Mo to be embarrassed, Qin Murong snorted. In the future, Tan Mo shouldn't even think of trying to get into their circle.

Qin Murong saw that Tan Mo hit Wei Zhiqian's leg, but his arrogance did not last more than 10 seconds. He saw Wei Zhiqian leaning over to hug Tan Mo.

Qin Murong's expression became unsightly.

Instead of reprimanding Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian instead picked him up!

With an expressionless expression on his face, Qin Murong turned to look at Wei Keli. “Don't you say they're not familiar with each other? Why did Wei Zhiqian bend over to pick him up?”

Wei Keli did not understand either.

They are really not familiar with each other!

They only met once, so how familiar were they?

However, judging from Wei Zhiqian's actions towards Tan Mo, they looked familiar.

“Kakak Murong, this is not the best time to talk about it. Let's go there first.” Wei Keli thought it would be better to check the situation first rather than make assumptions.

Qin Murong immediately followed.

Wei Keli, Qin Muxiao, and Yuan Keqing also followed closely.

“What's the problem?” Wei Zhiqian asked as he hugged Tan Mo.

Wei Zhiqian had never liked children, but, for some reason, she was very fond of Tan Mo.

He couldn't help but want to take care of her.

Qin Murong heard Wei Zhiqian ask Tan Mo and thought Tan Mo went to see Wei Zhiqian to tell them.

He hurriedly wanted to speak in front of Tan Mo, but Tan Mo dropped him.

He heard Tan Mo's soft voice ask attentively, “Little Uncle, can I give this doll to Qin Muxiao?”

Tan Mo's eyes were dry. They're not even red.

“Why?” Wei Zhiqian was confused. Clearly, this little girl was very fond of this doll, yet she wanted to give it away?

Since he had already given it to Tan Mo, he was free to decide what to do with it.

However, Wei Zhiqian did not appreciate the person giving the gift.

And then again, most people don't dare.

One reason was because they did not have the guts to do so, and the other was because they were reluctant to do so.

The main point was not about how valuable the reward Wei Zhiqian had given him. His attitude of giving gifts was more significant.

Even if it was trash, as long as it was given by him, people would definitely want to frame it for display.

No one who had received a gift from Wei Zhiqian was willing to give it.

Wei Zhiqian's tone was low, and he was already somewhat displeased.

But at least Tan Mo came to him to ask his permission. Therefore, he patiently waited for his explanation.

If Tan Mo gave it to him without consulting him, then today would be the last time he and this child spoke, and there would be no next time.

Qin Murong was also dumbfounded. He did not expect Tan Mo to say such a thing.

His intuition told him that this would not look good for him.

Immediately, he heard Tan Mo speak softly, “Qin Muxiao is very pitiful. She doesn't even have a doll, so she has to come and ask me.”

Qin Muxiao flushed in anger but could not speak.

Who says he doesn't have a doll?

He had just told Tan Mo that he was not lacking in puppets!

Why is Tan Mo here saying that he doesn't even have a doll?

“No!” Qin Murong quickly chimed in.

If Tan Mo gave him this opportunity to explain, he would not be Tan Mo.

As if he had not heard Qin Murong's words, Tan Mo continued, “But I feel very conflicted. This doll was given to me by Little Uncle. You can't give gifts from others, so I'm here to ask if I can give them.”

As Tan Mo spoke, he tilted his head, depressed, and muttered, “But why doesn't Qin Muxiao have a single doll?”

Qin Muxiao's face flushed.

But Tan Mo hadn't finished asking. He remembered one more thing. “By the way, Little Uncle, what does 'brother-in-law' mean?”

Wei Zhiqian's brows furrowed.

“Where did you hear that word?” Wei Zhiqian's dissatisfaction had now disappeared due to Tan Mo's question.

“That's what Qin Muxiao said. She said she's your sister-in-law, but you never gave her anything, not even a pebble,” Tan Mo said with an innocent expression on her face. “Kakak Keli also called big brother Qin Murong ‘Small Aunt’.”

Tan Mo quickly added, “In fact, what Keli's sister said makes sense. Little Uncle, your future wife also has the right to ask for things that you give to others.” Tan Mo's words killed three birds with one stone.

Although Yuan Keqing was not mentioned, he was trembling nervously at the side.

He was afraid his name would be mentioned next.

Qin Muxiao was angry and did not think there was anything wrong with Tan Mo's words.

That's what it is!

Qin Murong was Wei Zhiqian's future wife, so didn't she have the right to take back the items she gave away?

Since Tan Mo knew everything, why would he pretend to ask Wei Zhiqian for his opinion?

On the side, the faces of Qin Murong and Wei Keli were colorless.

If he knew that Tan Mo would say such a thing, he would tie Tan Mo up and close his lips to prevent him from coming to Wei Zhiqian.
