They were at the gazebo, having afternoon snacks while the little buns were busy with the new bicycle their Uncle Beixuan bought for them.

  "Wahh! Yu Gege is too fast! Slow down! Slow down! I don't wanna get a new boo boo." They could hear Little Star's complaint as her twin brother pedalled the bike too fast while she took a seat on the connected seat on the bike.

  "Holy—" Tang Beixuan was about to curse because of how good the bread was in his sister's home, but he was shot down by Tang Moyu's fierce glare. She had a strict rule imposed on any uncles and aunts the twins had. And that was; none of them should smoke and curse in front of her children, or if they were within earshot.

  "Sorry." He mumbled an apology before resuming the snacks and drinking the tea Tang Moyu had served him.

  "Sis, this is really good. Since when did you start learning how to cook and bake? I remember you almost burned down our kitchen at Tang Estate when you attempted to bake a cake."

  The empress shuddered at the memory. It was one of those embarrassing memories she hoped everyone would forget! Even she was ashamed of what she'd done in the past.

  "No, it's not me who baked it."

  Of course she wasn't! There was no way in hell she would be able to make such delicious meals and dishes. If it wasn't for Feng Tianyi, no doubt even she wouldn't be able to taste these good foods right in her own home.

  It wasn't like she didn't like Auntie Lu's cooking, but whenever Feng Tianyi made something special, she was always eager to come home and have dinner with them.

  Tang Beixuan blinked at that before pouring himself another cup of tea.

  "Then who is it? Did you hire an executive chef to work here?"

  Considering how much money his sister was making, Tang Beixuan knew she would be able to afford one if she wanted.

  Tang Moyu shifted in her seat and looked away.

  "M-my boyfriend." She admitted to her brother.

  Tang Beixuan, who was leisurely drinking his drink spat the liquid out. The liquid managed to reach his nose, stung his eyes from shock upon hearing what his elder sister said. His mind suddenly short circuited from the revelation he had just heard from his sister.

  Wait.

  Did she just say boyfriend?

  What?

  Tang Moyu had a boyfriend? Did he hear her right?

  Tang Beixuan looked at his sister in shock, trying to gauge if she was just trying to pull his leg or not. But the intense blush on her cheeks was already a giveaway, that indeed, his aloof sister really had a boyfriend, a man in her life.

  "Seriously?" He asked, but Tang Moyu only hummed in response.

  "Who is he? Do I know him? When can I meet him, Sis?"

  And just like what Tang Moyu expected, a barrage of questions came her way. She wasn't sure if she should introduce Feng Tianyi as he is or did she need to hide his identity as the devil and introduce him as Qin Jiran, like everyone else knew him to be.

  "Well, have you ever heard of Qin Jiran?" She wasn't sure how her younger brother would react, so she'd chosen the latter option.

  "Qin Jiran? You mean that mysterious author?" Tang Beixuan sighed as he remembered not being able to get his hands on Qin Jiran's latest book. Since he was in the states, he missed the launching of the newest book and forgot to ask his sister to buy one for him.

  "Yeah, I know him. What about him?" He frowned. His sister wasn't trying to change the topic right? He wouldn't stop until he knew who managed to win his sister's heart.

  "Sis, please don't change the subject and tell me who it is!" He demanded.

  "He is that guy." Tang Moyu said as she broke a croissant in her hand into two, before taking a small bite of it. Really delicious. Better than those store-bought breads she'd tried before.

  Tang Beixuan squinted his eyes on his sister in suspicion. So what she was saying was that the man she was dating was the mysterious popular author who no one had seen before? He was having a hard time believing her claims.

  "You don't believe me? I thought you know better than anyone that I wouldn't purposely lie to you." Tang Moyu said once she saw the expression her brother had.

  "Of course, I don't believe you. It's one thing that you suddenly found a boyfriend, then now you claim it's Qin Jiran, the popular author? Sis, I know you've been through a lot of stress, but how can you lie to your own little brother?" Tang Beixuan feigned exasperation, earning a sudden hit on his head from Tang Moyu.

  "Oww! Sis, that hurts!" He whined and rubbed the spot his sister hit on his head.

  "I don't mind giving you more, Beixuan." The empress narrowed her eyes to her brother. "If you really don't believe me then I won't force you. You better make sure you don't give him trouble later once he wakes up."

  "Wait. Wait. Wait!" Tang Beixuan jolted up on his seat and leaned forward. "You mean you are living together?" His eyes sparkled. "I can really meet Qin Jiran personally?"
