Did he really have to come here and get his wife or was he curious to see if she was back?

  Tang Moyu didn't come back to seek revenge, but that didn't mean she'll allow Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue to mess up with her life again.

  Li Meili took her wrist with an intention to pull her away from the growing crowd, annoyed that their night wouldn't be completed without seeing those pigs again.

  "Come, Moyu. Let's go home. I've had enough of this." She said.

  However, before they could leave, Tang Moyu heard a familiar voice calling her name.

  "Moyu?" Feng Tianhua's voice reached her ears. "So I see you really came back."

  Tang Moyu turned her head to face him. She didn't even notice Li Meili released her hold and glared fiercely at Feng Tianhua. She was expecting to see her ex-fiance giving her a hateful look but she didn't expect to see him looking at her with such a complex emotion on his face.

  "It's good to see you back," he said when she said nothing.

  At that moment, Xing Yiyue decided to appear and wrap her arm around Feng Tianhua's.

  "Mr. Feng." Tang Moyu snapped out of her thoughts and gave him a nod. "It's been a while." She felt Li Meili tugging her arm, telling her to ignore them already. "Excuse us. We'll go on first."

  They left at once, not giving Feng Tianhua a chance to retort. He could only watch Tang Moyu being dragged away, arm in arm by Li Meili and Lin Qianrou.

  "The nerve of that man to show himself!" Li Meili hit her steering wheel before igniting the engine and drove back to Peach Blossom Garden to drop Tang Moyu off.

  "I know, right." Even Lin Qianrou was annoyed to see them together. How could they just appear out of nowhere and pretend they care about Tang Moyu when all they did in the past was betray her?

  Li Meili and Lin Qianrou dropped off Tang Moyu and bid goodbye, with Lin Qianrou promising to visit the Tangs soon as per the little buns' request.

  The night was a bit chilly, but it wasn't enough to numb the pain and disturbance Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue had caused. Seeing them together, acting like they did nothing wrong towards her infuriated her.

  How dare they? Didn't they know how much pain and shame she had to endure because of them? Didn't they know how much they ruined her life back then?

  Until now, Tang Moyu couldn't forget Feng Tianhua's hateful eyes when he broke his engagement with her to marry his lover. She didn't like being reminded of how foolish a woman she became because of them.

  She made her way towards the path which led to the guesthouse next to her home. Maybe seeing her little buns would make her feel better and remind herself that she managed to pull herself out of that hell hole where Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue had thrown her.

  She heard a shuffling sound inside the house, then a moment later, Qin Jiran opened the door and let her in.

  Qin Jiran had already seen her arrival the moment Li Meili dropped her off in front of her gate. He watched from the kitchen's window as she took her time to walk towards here. Now, up close, he could tell that something had happened at the women's banquet to make Tang Moyu act this way.

  "Mr. Qin." She greeted the man in his wheelchair. She also noticed that Qin Jiran was also dressed, ready to go to bed. "Are they already asleep?" She glanced at the guest room where her children were probably sleeping.

  "Yes." She followed him to the kitchen. Without asking for permission, she took a bottle of bourbon from the wine display and poured it on the rocks and took a seat across Qin Jiran. The familiar taste of bourbon reminded her of her early years overseas.

  Seeing her downcast expression, Qin Jiran knew for sure that something was bothering her.

  "Miss Tang, please behave yourself. You did promise Xiao Bao that you wouldn't drink too much tonight." He reminded her.

  "Nonsense. I'm already at home, right? Drinking here doesn't count." She only wanted to get drunk and forget whatever happened at the banquet.

  Tang Moyu brushed off his words and continued to drink the bourbon herself. Qin Jiran had lost count of how many shots she's already drunk because of how fast she was able to refill her drink.

  "Hey! Stop it already!" Feng Tianyi had no choice but to snatch the bottle of bourbon from her hand, seeing how red her face was. He couldn't believe that there would be a day when he would see the empress like this.

  Sad. Defeated. Vulnerable and weak. He wondered who made her like this.

  "Ha! They thought they could fool me! They're really a match in heaven! A bastard and a bitch. How befitting." Tang Moyu laughed hysterically. She forced herself to stand up to retrieve the bottle.

  However, Tang Moyu didn't notice the foot of the chair in front of her and tripped on it, sending her straight onto Feng Tianyi's body.

  On impulse, Feng Tianyi loosened his hold on the half empty bottle of bourbon, which made a loud crash on the floor, in favor of catching Tang Moyu's body before she could hurt herself any further. She was definitely drunk and crazy.

  What the hell was she thinking?

  The moment her body hit him, Feng Tianyi groaned in pain before he stilled in his wheelchair, feeling Tang Moyu's lips pressed against the corner of his mouth.
