Chapter 73: Definitely Didn’t Shoot Blanks (3)

Feng Tianyi couldn't stop the smile on his lips as he watched the empress's shocked face turn into confusion. She probably didn't expect that he would continue to tease her like this. He couldn't stop himself from teasing her because her reaction was so priceless. He'd never seen such expressions before in other women he was acquainted with. 

Tang Moyu stilled in her place for a moment before a deep frown appeared on her face. The afternoon breeze made her long hair flutter. 

"Qin Jiran, I'm not sure what you're up to. Indeed, whatever happened the other night was my fault but…" She paused, lost in thought, unsure of how she would express herself without offending him. 

"Is it because I'm like this?" He countered back, the amusement in his eyes was now replaced with an intensity that Tang Moyu had never seen in them before. It was like he was trying to look past her defensive walls, trying to take a peek of her soul through her eyes.
