章節 15: Meeting the Fallen Empress (1)
'Who could it be?' Feng Tianyi wondered.
He wasn't expecting any guests today, especially when these little buns decided to invade his home. Confused, he excused himself and went to answer the door.
However, as soon as he opened it, he was frozen in the spot. Standing right outside his door was a woman he'd never thought he would be able to meet face to face.
'What is she doing here?!'
This woman's beautiful face could be considered one of the finest ones in Shenzhen and her mere presence spoke volumes of elegance and coldness. Her pinkish lips were pressed in a thin line as she looked down at him and then shifted her gaze to look past him as if looking for someone.
Feng Tianyi then noticed that this woman's eyes were like Little Star's although it was as cold as he expected it to be, knowing who she was. Was she looking for his guests?
Just what could be the reason for his brother's ex-fiancée to show up on his doorsteps?
Tang Moyu, the fallen empress, was standing outside his door still in her business attire, as if she'd just dropped everything she was doing just to look for someone. This was the first time Feng Tianyi met his half-brother's ex-fiancée in the flesh.
For a moment, he wasn't sure how to react until Tang Moyu's gaze landed on him.
Did she recognize him? Feng Tianyi couldn't tell as there was no hint of recognition on her expression.
When he finally came back to his senses, he heard footsteps behind him, hearing Little Star's adorable voice even before he could say a word to Tang Moyu.
"Uncle Ji? Who is it?" She asked curiously but when she saw her mother standing outside the door, Little Star let out a high pitch scream and ran back to the kitchen.
"..."
Just what had happened? Feng Tianyi wondered.
Tang Moyu's right eye twitched at her daughter's reaction. What was that supposed to mean? She returned her attention back to the crippled man sitting in his wheelchair.
She regarded him for a moment, wondering if she'd somehow met him before, but couldn't recall anything. Her expectation of the nice uncle her babies were talking about was far from reality.
Tang Moyu thought that her twins took a liking to an old man and somehow pitied his condition. But as she looked at the man in front of her, she realized how wrong she was!
Although this man was indeed crippled, he had a handsome face that could easily topple some of the most famous male actors in the country including Jiang Yunan, if only he would pay attention to his appearance, which was a little shabby in her opinion. He had features that women couldn't help be attracted to, well, women other than Tang Moyu.
She'd seen enough handsome men to know how the gears in their mind work and would rather not get involved with any of them.
"Hello, I'm Tang Moyu, Xiao Bao and Little Star's mother. May I know if they are here with you?" Although she'd already seen her daughter earlier, she needed to be polite to this man who was kind enough to entertain her children for a few days now.
Although Feng Tianyi already knew who she was, he still found himself dumbfounded at the irony of the situation he was in. Tang Moyu was one of the reasons he failed to get Feng Conglomerate in his hands and she was his brother's woman before her exile.
In the past, he avoided having a confrontation with Feng Tianhua and Tang Moyu. However, he had no idea that his path would cross with hers now because of the two little buns that were currently in his kitchen, busy eating their meals.
Who knew that of all the people he could meet today, he met the fallen empress? And that she would be the one to personally come knocking on his door? He didn't even know that she was back after her long absence in Shenzhen.
Feng Tianyi snapped out of his thoughts as he could feel the lingering look he was receiving from Tang Moyu.
"Ah, forgive me. I was just surprised. Are you here to fetch the twins?"
"Yes," Tang Moyu nodded then glanced towards the direction her daughter disappeared to. "May I come in? It seems like they are not ready to go home yet."
"Of course," Feng Tianyi wheeled himself aside and let Tang Moyu step inside his home.
Tang Moyu entered his apartment and looked around. There was nothing suspicious inside this man's home and it looked normal in her opinion. It was almost 150 sq ft in size and was large enough for a man like him to move around without difficulties.
"Come, the children are in the dining area having dinner. Why don't you eat with us?" Feng Tianyi easily recovered from his shock. He supposed that Tang Moyu really didn't recognize him, which brought relief to him.
He was just being polite to her and had nothing to do with her.
"Thank you but there's no need. I'm just here to pick up my children." Tang Moyu slightly nodded and followed him to the dining area, which was one with the kitchen. However, once they arrived, her two little buns were nowhere in sight.
Feng Tianyi was beside her, looking clueless as to where the children went. They only found three sets of bowls and the dishes were still steaming hot.
"I'm sorry Mister, but do you have any idea where those two could be hiding? I'll have to bother you to check your house to find them. They are pretty good at hiding," Tang Moyu asked helplessly.
Feng Tianyi nodded and wheeled himself to the hallway that connected the kitchen to his bedroom and study. He opened the study first which was on his left and saw no one there.
"They aren't here," he told Tang Moyu. "Must be hiding inside my room."
"I'm sorry for troubling you, Mister. I have no idea what got my children to act this way."
"It's no trouble, Miss Tang. Your children were really well behaved earlier and haven't caused trouble for me before."
"Let me call them," Tang Moyu said dejectedly as she stood outside the room and knocked on the door. She turned the doorknob, but it was locked from the inside. "Xiao Bao? Little Star? Come out here this instant! Don't you think that's enough mischief for today? You also troubled this Mister here and invaded his house."
Feng Tianyi watched her from the corner and he had this urge to laugh at her scowling face, as she tried to convince her children to come out.
The children ignored her words and stayed inside the room. They both knew the reason why their mother came, but they weren't ready to leave their Uncle Ji yet.
Tang Moyu began to frown and her voice became colder than ice as she tried to call them out again.
"Tang Feiyu, Tang Feixiu. I'm only giving you ten seconds to come out on your own, otherwise, don't blame me for what I will do next."
She and Feng Tianyi heard murmuring words inside but couldn't make out the words spoken. Still, the two little buns refused to come out. Feng Tianyi wondered if it was also a usual thing for the trio and pitied Tang Moyu.
"Miss Tang, could you step aside? Let me give it a try. Who knows maybe they'll listen to me." He offered.
