Chương 19: Compensation (1)
As they expected the two little buns had already conquered the massive bed in Feng Tianyi's room. Tang Moyu pinched the space between her brows and wondered why these two ended up like this. While she and the nannies tried to raise them with a few rules, her two little buns still manage to outwit them.
Tang Moyu was dumbstruck. She didn't know what to tell Feng Tianyi at that moment.
"Mr. Qin… I'm really sorry about this."
Feng Tianyi could clearly see the conflicted emotions on her face. She must be feeling really uncomfortable right now, asking a stranger for a favor. If Little Star hadn't had an illness before, he'd surely bet that this woman wouldn't even want to step into his place.
It was already shocking for him to meet her under such circumstances and he hadn't expected that she was really with a child before her exile. Not only one, but two little cute buns.
Was this really the same empress that people had been wary of? He wondered. He laughed awkwardly before pointing at the door beside his room. Neither of them had expected that the Tangs would spend a night here. Thankfully, Tang Moyu had only allowed this for a night.
"You can take the guest room, Miss Tang. I'm also not sure why your children insist on taking care of me, but I won't harm or exploit them," he assured her.
Tang Moyu checked the time on her watch and sighed dejectedly.
"It's already past their bedtime. I'll be troubling you to put the twins to bed," she told him before excusing herself to enter the other room.
Thus, Feng Tianyi had no choice but to enter his own room and tell the twins to calm down. However, it took him some time before the twins tired themselves out and slept peacefully next to him.
Meanwhile, in the guest room, the bed was untouched as Tang Moyu set her laptop on the desk and resumed her work. Sleep evaded her tonight as she wondered how her naughty children were faring next door.
By the time Feng Tianyi woke up the next day, the twins beside him were still deep in their slumber. He gently removed their arms around his torso and dragged himself out of bed, taking his cane to support his body weight before slumping awkwardly on his wheelchair.
He then found Tang Moyu sitting on his couch, waiting for him to wake up. The sky outside was still dark and the sun had yet to rise.
"Good morning, Mr. Qin," Tang Moyu stood up and regarded him politely. It seemed like she'd been up for a while and had been waiting for him to come out.
"Good morning, Miss Tang. Didn't you sleep well last night? You are quite early today." Feng Tianyi replied as he led her to the kitchen to brew coffee for both of them.
"I have some urgent business to attend to today and would like to ask if I can leave my children here. I plan to call their nanny to accompany and help you look after them. I will personally fetch them tonight." She didn't beat around the bush and said her piece.
Feng Tianyi was utterly speechless at her request but couldn't find it in himself to decline her. What kind of mother was she to leave her children to a stranger? Wasn't she afraid that he would have ulterior motives towards the twins?
However, the way she looked at him rendered him speechless.
"As you wish," he finally replied, "but aren't you going to say goodbye to them before leaving?"
He saw that the coldness in her eyes gradually diminished upon mentioning the twins. Feng Tianyi then knew that she was doing this for their sake, even if she wasn't comfortable with it.
"I was hoping…" Tang Moyu stuttered, which was so out of character, "I was hoping I could see them before I leave."
Ah, so that was why she waited for him earlier.
Feng Tianyi smiled before nodding at her.
"Of course you can, Miss Tang. I don't mind at all."
They went back to the main bedroom and Tang Moyu silently crept towards her children, kissing their foreheads lovingly.
"Mommy will go now. You must behave and shouldn't trouble your Uncle Ji while Mommy is away. " She whispered to them. Feng Tianyi witnessed the scene from the doorway.
He had never imagined that the infamous fallen empress could be this soft and loving, considering she was cold and ruthless within the business circle. Was this the same empress who made him helpless against his half brother?
Tang Moyu silently closed the door behind her and thanked Feng Tianyi once they were in the hallway.
"It's no problem, Miss Tang. I'm glad I'm able to help," Feng Tianyi assured her.
It was then that Tang Moyu remembered the incident that took place at the cafe yesterday. The thought of having Little Star getting injured instantly darkened her eyes with murderous intent. That woman was lucky she wasn't there to witness the scene or she would've destroyed her beyond recognition.
"Mr. Qin, I was informed that your belongings were destroyed during yesterday's incident. Please let me replace it." She told Feng Tianyi as she slipped her arms into her black coat and adjusted her collar.
At that moment, Feng Tianyi thought that he was like a wife who was watching her husband about to leave for work. Realizing what had crossed his mind, he berated himself. What the hell was he thinking about?
Noticing the weird look on the man's face, Tang Moyu raised a brow at him.
Feng Tianyi coughed and cleared his throat, suppressing the blush that was threatening to appear on his face.
"It's nobody's fault, Miss Tang. There's no need to replace it. Although I must admit that this put me at a disadvantage because I lost the manuscript for my latest book that's due in a few weeks."
Tang Moyu frowned. If it was just a material possession, she could easily compensate Qin Jiran for the trouble her twins brought to him, but this… Was there any other way for her to help him?
Chương 20: Compensation (2)
"You don't have a remote or cloud backup for it?" She asked with a slight frown.
Feng Tianyi pursed his lips and shook his head, ashamed that he didn't consider having one since he always writes whenever and wherever he feels like to.
"I don't have any…" he admitted.
It was Tang Moyu's turn to get speechless as she looked at him as if he'd grown another head on his shoulder.
She cupped her chin to give it a thought, but none came up while Feng Tianyi scratched his head awkwardly.
"I'm truly sorry for this, Mr. Qin but I won't be at peace if I don't compensate you. Is there anything I can help you with? Perhaps a wish that I can grant you? I'm sure you have something you want or need." She questioned him.
'Then help me return the Feng Conglomerate to me,' he thought but he didn't voice out. Feng Tianyi then chided himself again.
He didn't doubt that if Tang Moyu wanted, she would be able to destroy the Feng Conglomerate, kicking out his half brother in the process. He wasn't paying close attention to the business circle within Shenzhen lately, but he was aware that the Tang Enterprise was in a dire situation.
Was this the reason why the fallen empress appeared again? It made sense to him, but this also meant a blatant threat to his brother, Feng Tianhua. Everyone within the company knew how valuable Tang Moyu's skills were during her reign as the empress of the business world.
"I'm not sure Miss Tang, but thank you for considering. Please give me some time to think about it." He knew that Tang Moyu wouldn't easily drop this issue, considering how prideful she was.
An hour later…
Tang Moyu arrived at her temporary office just in time to prepare for today's work. There would be a stockholders' meeting that afternoon and she needed to be prepared for their questions.
Cheng Ning gave her a rundown of her schedule today, which was packed with meetings and conferences. Just looking at it, Cheng Ning wondered how her boss was able to keep up with the fast paced work when it was really demanding and tiring at the same time.
"Alright, please prepare the documents I'd need for the shareholders' meeting. As for the rest, do you think you can reschedule those who can wait? I need to fetch the twins from Qin Jiran's place later." Tang Moyu rubbed her temple and sighed. It was a bad idea pulling an all nighter in Qin Jiran's place. Now, she would have to rely on coffee to keep herself awake.
Chen Ning froze in her spot and looked at her boss with bewilderment. Did she just hear it right? Did her boss just say Qin Jiran?
"Miss, did you just say Qin Jiran?" She leaned forward and clutched the tablet she was holding on her chest. Her eyes twinkled with delight as she looked at Tang Moyu. "You mean, THE Qin Jiran?"
Who could blame her? Qin Jiran was one of the most popular authors these days. His books were always sold out and Chen Ning even had to make a pre-order before she could get the books in her hands if she wanted them. Also, no one had ever seen his face before and his identity remained a mystery to his readers.
And for her boss to know Qin Jiran personally? How couldn't she be excited about the prospect of meeting her idol?!
Tang Moyu raised her head and saw her assistant's expression. She could already guess what was running on Cheng Ning's mind.
"Yes, the Qin Jiran you know. The one and only."
Cheng Ning squealed in glee and fanned herself. She tried to calm herself down as Tang Moyu raised a questioning brow at her.
Was she really this lucky? She had not only become her idol Tang Moyu's personal assistant, now there's a possibility of a chance to meet her favorite author?
"Miss Moyu, do you think you can ask Qin Jiran to sign my copy of his book? I wanted to meet him but I don't want to be presumptuous to ask you to bring me with you so…" She bit her lower lip and looked abashed.
"Hey, hey, hey, what is this that I'm hearing? You're meeting Qin Jiran, Moyu?!" Li Meiling came inside Tang Moyu's office and looked at both women.
"Miss Li," Cheng Ning looked at her smile and greeted her.
The woman who just arrived was the Third Miss of the Li family. Even though she wasn't as popular as Tang Moyu, her natural beauty wasn't lacking at all. She was a fashion designer by profession. She took a liking to Tang Moyu when the latter punched the faces of her older brother and his gang when they tried to bully her during their first meeting.
"Not one month and you are already dating? Qin Jiran of all people?!" Li Meili clutched her chest dramatically making Tang Moyu groan in response. Since when did she say she was dating Qin Jiran?
"Don't get ideas, Meili. He's the 'kind uncle' my twins have taken a liking to, and now I'm in debt for causing troubles." Tang Moyu said icily. She didn't know why her friend assumed she had something with that reclusive author when in fact she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
