However, as he looked at the woman across him right now, Feng Tianyi realised how his life had taken a dramatic turn since he met her little buns.

  He avoided her gaze, annoyed that Tang Moyu couldn't see his point. What else could he do to make her understand his intentions?

  Tang Moyu poured herself a cup of tea before adding some honey to it. She supposed her little buns were right. She shouldn't drag the issue between them anymore. Since he said he wasn't mad at her, at least she should know what upset him so she wouldn't make the same mistake in the future.

  "Aren't you going to tell me what it was this time? Even Xiao Bao and Little Star noticed that you've been avoiding me."

  Feng Tianyi scoffed and downed his drink in one go. How could she be so oblivious?

  "Forget it. Since you think you've done nothing wrong, let's drop it." He didn't want to force her to accept himself. Hey, even the devil had his pride, right?

  "I beg to disagree, Qin Jiran. Since we agreed to give it a shot, shouldn't we be honest with each other?" Tang Moyu replied, her eyes bored into him. "In fact, I also have something to discuss with you."

  "And that is?" Feng Tianyi raised his head and glanced at her impassive face, secretly dissatisfied that she had more expressions whenever she looked at her little buns than when she was looking at him.

  "Your family." Tang Moyu started, sending a cold shiver to Feng Tianyi's entirety. Was she starting to suspect him?

  She stood up and turned to look at her little buns on the other side of the garden. The yellow rays of the sun illuminating the side of her face. The wind was starting to turn chilly as the sun started to set.

  "Your past, as well as why you are 'bound to this inferior wheelchair', as you call it. I can opt to run a background check on you anytime, but I wouldn't because I would rather hear the details directly from you than others." She pointed out. She had this faraway look on her face that made Feng Tianyi wonder the cause of her sadness.

  She looked over her shoulder and smiled weakly. She was giving him a choice, a choice she wasn't sure Qin Jiran was willing to take.

  "Qin Jiran, I hope you understand that I cannot be with someone who might pose a threat to my children. If anything, I'd like to be honest with you. They are and always will be my utmost priority. If there would come a time when I would have to choose between you and them, I hope you would understand why I cannot choose you."

  "Moyu, I will never make you choose between me and your children. Do you think I'm the kind of person who'll cause pain to Xiao Bao and Little Star?" He asked back. At least Tang Moyu was willing to discuss this matter instead of beating around the bush, making him wonder if he had a chance or not.

  "It's not that I doubt you. But as their mother, I don't want to give anyone a chance to use my children to hurt me or vice versa. I only have the two of them and I'm willing to disregard everything for their sake."

  Her tone was solemn, the sadness in her eyes apparent. The pain of betrayal that Feng Tianhua caused left a deep wound in her.

  It had been over five years but she still kept any man at an arm's length, forbidding them to get close to her. However, what she felt for Qin Jiran confused her. It was a foreign feeling she hadn't felt before.

  "I don't doubt that, but if you want to know something about me, you only need to ask, Moyu." Feng Tianyi said decisively. If Tang Moyu asked him if he was Feng Tianyi, he was willing to come clean anytime. It was just that he didn't know how to confess and tell her everything willingly himself.

  Tang Moyu considered his words and nodded. As long as he didn't try to harm her twins, perhaps giving herself a chance to experience love wouldn't be a bad thing after all. Li Meili had a point. Why would she allow Feng Tianhua to affect her life after all he'd done to her? She wouldn't allow him and Xing Yiyue to affect how she lived her life anymore.

  "Fine, since you said so. I'm curious, how did you end up in a wheelchair? Song Fengyan said you'd be able to walk again if you start your therapy, but why didn't you?" She questioned.

  Feng Tianyi smiled at her and extended one of his hands for her to take.

  "Moyu, why don't we go to the weeping cherry tree first? I want you to show something."

  It had been so long since Tang Moyu saw the weeping cherry tree that had recently finished its treatment. She stepped forward and pushed his wheelchair from the gazebo and took the pathway towards the massive tree in their garden.

  Tang Moyu was shocked that she hadn't noticed it earlier. Was she that preoccupied that she failed to notice the changes within her property?

  "It's beautiful." She murmured, truly mesmerized by its beauty.

  "Yes, really beautiful." Feng Tianyi agreed while looking at her face in a trance. Did she even know what she'd done to him?
