"CEO Feng, what are you doing here? I wasn't informed that you'll be coming today." Ye Xiaozu stepped forward, hiding the empress behind him as he offered the other man a handshake. He didn't understand why Feng Tianhua was here, but he could sense that the empress wasn't happy with the sudden turn of events, meeting her ex-fiance here.

  "Ah, President Ye. I came by to see Moyu. I was nearby and heard that she would be here, so I decided to come here to see her myself." Feng Tianhua removed his sunglasses and shook Ye Xiaozu's hand before glancing at Tang Moyu, who hadn't uttered a single word since his arrival, making the atmosphere awkward between them.

  "Moyu, do you have time? Can we talk?" Feng Tianhua asked her.

  The empress only stared at him with a coldness that was very familiar to Feng Tianhua.

  "Cheng Ning." She called her assistant.

  "En." Chang Ning pushed her glasses up and checked today's schedule for her boss on her tablet. "You have a lunch with Ms. Li after your meeting with President Ye and Miss Gu is expecting you to come back at Tang Enterprise by 2PM." She answered.

  "Oh, you'll be meeting Meili today? Just my luck. I'm hoping I could talk to her to clear up the misunderstanding between her and Yiyue. Do you mind if I join the two of you for lunch? Let's use this as a way to catch up on how the two of you have been doing for the past few years."

  Tang Moyu looked at him as if he'd sprouted another head. Was he joking? Did he really think she could pretend that he wasn't the person who tried to blacklist her in Shenzhen, ruining her reputation in public by announcing her unexpected pregnancy when she wasn't even ready?

  Did he really think that she, Tang Moyu, whom he'd wronged in the past would be able to forget the torment she'd suffered because of his betrayal? Ridiculous! What did he take her for? An idiot like his wife?!

  "I don't think there's anything for us to talk about, CEO Feng." Tang Moyu crossed her arms and gave him a nonchalant look.

  Talk? What could she possibly get from it? Wasn't it enough that he'd reduced her to nothing five years ago?

  Just being reminded of what happened in the past was enough for her blood to simmer with anger.

  Tang Moyu had been mad at him, but more than anyone else, she'd been mad at herself. If she had really listened to everyone's urges and hadn't given birth to Baobao and Little Star, she knew that she would have lost the meaning of her life after that exile.

  Alas, maybe it was for the better that she hadn't married Feng Tianhua. Being the mother of her Baobao and Little Star was a blessing in disguise after her exile. Tang Moyu had realized that there was more to herself than being treated as a pawn by her 'mother'.

  There were several things that she'd missed in her life when she let Zhang Wuying lead her life, allowing the older woman to manipulate her.

  Smart and independent woman? Tang Moyu could only laugh at that. People wrongly assumed that she was strong and independent, but what they didn't know was she'd allowed her 'mother' to use her as a bargaining chip and had been a fool for as long as she could remember.

  Even now that she already knew the truth about Yan Qiuyu, the empress felt that she was still bound by the shackle that Zhang Wuying had put on her since she was young. Looking at the man responsible for making her lose everything she had five years ago, reminded her of her failure.

  "That's not true. There's a lot of things we should talk about. Won't you listen to what I'll say?"

  "Just email me the lies, I don't need to hear them." Tang Moyu frowned. She didn't even want an argument nor a misunderstanding to arise between her and Feng Tianyi just because she met his younger brother.

  Although Feng Tianyi tried his best to understand her shortcomings, she didn't want him to be disappointed with her. She had so much on her plate right now that it was already a miracle that she found a man who was willing to work out their differences and would constantly try his best to understand where she was coming from.

  So much contrast to the teachings her 'mother' had imposed on her for several years. No wonder that old woman was so bitter in life. Zhang Wuying probably didn't know how to be loved or to love another person aside from herself.

  Ye Xiaozu suffered a second hand shame for Feng Tianhua. The empress's words were too sharp for him not to realize that she didn't want to be in the same place with the devil's brother.

  Tang Moyu and Cheng Ning were about to leave and enter the car they brought when a red convertible Porsche car came and stopped right next to the empress's car. Li Meili alighted the car, dressed lavishly in red with a round pair of sunglasses on her face.

  "Moyu? I thought I said I'll be picking you up?" Li Meili asked her best friend before her eyes landed on Feng Tianhua. "Oh, Feng Tianhua. What's up? Have you taught your wife how to spot an imitation?"
