Just as he promised, Feng Tianyi had been quick, sending them into a wave of p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e once more. Both had tried to keep their voices down, not wanting the little buns to disturb them, or in Tang Moyu's case, be aware of what they have been doing behind this closed door.

  A moment later, Tang Moyu found herself staring at the ceiling of Feng Tianyi's room, wondering when she would be able to regain her strength at the rate he was going. It didn't seem like he would take pity on her soon or even let her take the rest she needed.

  "I want to take a bath." She muttered, loud enough for him to hear as he busied himself playing with a few strands of her hair.

  "Good idea. Baobao and Little Star must have finished watching the movie."

  He had left their little buns with Auntie Lu and had chosen to take a look at Tang Moyu instead of torturing himself, watching the same movie he'd already watched with the twins the other week.

  He would rather spend some frisky time with the empress than to shoot his own foot by staying with the little buns at the moment.

  Feng Tianyi slipped out of the bed, not bothering to cover himself as he helped her get to her feet.

  Tang Moyu's legs trembled and she tried to hold onto his arm as he led her to the bathroom. He filled the tub with hot water and helped her settle inside, following her shortly.

  After entering the tub with Feng Tianyi, Tang Moyu's aching body was surrounded with warm water, gently easing the discomfort and soreness of her body. Seeing her contentment, Feng Tianyi chuckled and started to give her a bath.

  "Uhm… I can wash myself, Tianyi. You don't have to do this." The empress face was flushed red again.

  "You are tired and in pain. Weren't you blaming me for it earlier? So, let me make it up to you. Take a rest and let me do it." The devil countered.

  Hey, there was no way in hell would he allow this rare chance to slip out of his hand!

  Tang Moyu, who was too tired to argue with him, allowed him to do what he wanted. Not only did Feng Tianyi bathe her, but he also massaged her sore and aching muscles, applying enough pressure on it. After all, wasn't he the one who caused it? Might as well do something about it!

  Feng Tianyi wanted to complain, but he was already kicked out of the bathroom by the empress, who was staring at her blushing reflection on the bathroom mirror.

  "Just go! I'll be there in a minute!" She exclaimed, not giving him a chance to argue. She heard his footsteps fading before she released a sigh.

  Darn it. She can't possibly show herself to her twins looking like this. Although the warm water had helped her ease her pain, her legs were still trembling and she needed to hold onto something to keep herself steady. How was she supposed to walk out like this?

  When Feng Tianyi left his room, he found the little buns conversing with Song Fengyan, who had just arrived to talk to him. Song Fengyan released Little Star and followed the devil to the kitchen and took a seat on one of the stools nearby.

  "Something good happened?" His eyes narrowing on the devil with suspicion. Feng Tianyi took his roasted duck out from the oven and looked at his cousin with amus.e.m.e.nt.

  "What?" Of course he knew exactly what Song Fengyan was talking about, but he would rather not talk about it with him at the moment. Tang Moyu would kill him if he dared to utter a word about it. Though that didn't mean that Song Fengyan wouldn't be able to figure it out himself.

  "Yes. You seem refreshed today and your complexion looks good. On top of that, you have this silly grin plastered on your ugly face…." Song Fengyan's words trailed off before his eyes widened when it dawned to him what could have happened.

  "Oh, damn. Don't tell me you had some with the empress." He leaned forward and hissed lowly to his cousin. Indeed, Feng Tianyi had a suspicious smile on his face, and he looked like he was full of vigor today, something Song Fengyan hadn't seen on his cousin in years.

  "I don't know what you are talking about, Fengyan. But yeah, Moyu and I are doing good."

  Yeah, so good that he couldn't keep his hands off her the moment he got a taste of her.

  "So, what brings you here today?" Feng Tianyi decided to change their topic before Tang Moyu showed herself. He didn't want to risk her overhearing their conversation and misunderstanding him.

  Song Fengyan scowled and took a piece of macaron from the platter on the kitchen counter.

  "Have you forgotten? You told me to come here to discuss what you want to do with Meng Yanran? Are you sure you want her to join Xiao Xing?" He asked.

  Feng Tianyi shrugged, his eyes then caught the empress's figure coming from the hallway and was being greeted by their little buns.

  "Oh, that. I think you should discuss this with Moyu instead of me. She's the one who offered Miss Meng the job, not me." Feng Tianyi cleared out the misunderstanding. He was only following his wife's wishes, as for the details and how to execute it, he would leave it to Song Fengyan to improvise.

  "Help me serve the dishes on the dining table, please." He asked Song Fengyan. "We'll talk about the details later when Li Yuanyi arrives."

  "He's coming here?" His cousin asked.

  "Why, of course. He must be fuming mad at his bill right now." The devil grinned widely.
