Thin wisps of steam rose from his coffee mug as he leaned in his seat, with one hand supporting his chin. The man had been working with Feng Tianyi for a long time and was the one who'd been managing his finances.

  The posture he had was stiff and rigid, his handsome face and curious brown eyes revealed his business related prowess.

  "Tang Moyu of all people, Tianyi. Are you fucking out of your mind?" He glared at the man sitting across him.

  Feng Tianyi shrugged and continued to read the draft of the contract on his tablet while Song Fengyan laughed at He Lianchen's annoyed reaction. He couldn't really blame him for Feng Tianyi's outrageousness.

  "Relax, Lianchen. Why are you so nervous? It's not like Miss Tang can take advantage of us, when in fact, she is in disadvantage." He commented.

  He Lianchen scoffed and leaned back in his seat as he adjusted his black suit jacket, which was custom made for him because of his wide shoulders and narrow waist that most of the clothing lines would not offer.

  "And why are you okay with it? The mere fact that she's the fallen empress makes this contract a big deal." He responded.

  Feng Tianyi snorted.

  "Because Fengyan knows who signs the paycheck here. Why would he try to antagonize me?"

  "Traitor." He Lianchen muttered to himself while Song Fengyan burst out laughing.

  "I'm not sure why you've taken an interest in Tang Moyu, but I presume you're going to handle the takeover of Feng Conglomerate personally?" He Lianchen asked.

  "Yeah, I'll see to it that my dear little brother will fall from his high horse." Feng Tianyi said as if he could already taste the victory, the completion of his revenge against his brother Feng Tianhua, and the mistress who broke his family.

  An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. If Tang Moyu was willing, he would make sure he returned the pain and suffering she endured over the years a thousand fold back to Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue. He wanted them to suffer as much as his family had.

  He placed his tablet on top of the table with his fingers tapping on it lightly.

  "Whether or not Tang Moyu is on my side, I'll get back what's rightfully mine."

  He Lianchen sipped his coffee and eyed Feng Tianyi. "So why Tang Moyu?"

  "Why not? Given how my brother treated her badly before, I wouldn't be surprised if he targeted her again."

  Seeing He Lianchen's eyes narrowing at him, Feng Tianyi gave him a lazy smile as he leaned back on his wheelchair and steepled his fingers.

  "You worry too much, I can handle Tang Moyu," he assured him. Did they really think Tang Moyu could get an upper hand against him?

  If he was a man that could roll his eyes, He Lianchen probably would've done it this time.

  "As long as you don't want to get on her bed, I'm fine with it."

  It was Feng Tianyi's turn to laugh this time. Ridiculous. He thought. There's no reason for him to seduce the fallen empress, considering that he wouldn't dare to do anything that could hurt her little buns.

  "What?" He Lianchen raised a brow at him. "If you still aren't aware, Tang Moyu is bad news."

  What's worse than a woman who wasn't aware of her infectious and sinful charisma on men? She was a forbidden fruit men desired, but was unattainable. They could only look and admire her from a far while she was oblivious to being the subject of their sexual fantasies.

  Didn't Feng Tianhua know how other men envied him for having Tang Moyu on his side? How they wished they were the ones in his position; to dominate and conquer this ravishing beauty?

  Since her return, Tang Moyu has been the talk of the town. Women talked behind her back while men vied for her attention.

  He Lianchen shook his head and stood up. There was still more work to be done today. Several millions were involved in this deal with the devil. He wondered if the fallen empress would be able to fulfill her part of the deal.

  "Don't let your attraction cloud your judgement. I'm not sure why you entered this deal with the empress, but you don't have to drag her into your fight with Tianhua."

  "I know what I'm doing," Feng Tianyi countered. Of course he understood that a woman like Tang Moyu can cause a downfall of many men, but he was confident that he would not be one of them. However, he did think he should be guarded around Tang Moyu.

  "Okay. If you say so." And just like that, He Lianchen dropped the topic and placed his empty cup in the sink. "Call me if she wants any revisions on it."

  "I doubt she would complain. We've already discussed it."

  Shaking his head, He Lianchen laughed at him. By the way Song Fengyan shared that knowing look with him, he wasn't surprised if Feng Tianyi hadn't noticed that the fallen empress had already had him wrapped around her finger.
