When Song Fengyan arrived at Peach Blossom Garden after the airport, he didn't see the little buns he was hoping to see today. Only when he saw Feng Tianyi watering the crops the twins planted for this season did he remember that Xiao Bao and Little Star were still at school and wouldn't be home until this afternoon.

  Ah, so much for troubling himself to come here. He should have gone home and get himself some beauty sleep, something he hadn't done for months since Feng Tianyi and Tang Moyu started Xiao Xing Diamond Co.

  He couldn't believe how much money was involved in this project and he was somewhat nervous that they would fail this new endeavor his cousin and the empress had started.

  There was no assurance that the company wouldn't suffer some losses on their first batch of production, but Song Fengyan wanted to be hopeful that everything would turn out just fine.

  "What brings you here, Fengyan?" He heard Feng Tianyi, who was still busy tending to the crops he planted with his children, ask.

  Song Fengyan sat lazily on the bench while Hunter walked pass him, went to the porch and curled under the cool shade.

  "Nothing. I'm done with work today. I've just sent off Miss Meng. She should arrive at Shandong in five hours." He replied, suppressing the urge to yawn big, but failed.

  "I see." Feng Tianyi said. "She's a special employee, Fengyan. Moyu has big hopes for her."

  Whether it was because she saw potential in Meng Yanran or the empress simply took pity on her, Feng Tianyi had no idea. There were still times that he couldn't figure out what she was thinking about, although he was getting better at reading and interpreting her words and expressions lately.

  "I don't know… Is Meng Yanran really that good? Li Yuanyi also mentioned that he had never heard of anyone who was better than Meng Yanran on spotting an imitation. He said it is her forte." Song Fengyan said with curiosity.

  Feng Tianyi turned off the faucet, stopping the water from the watering hose he was holding. The crops didn't need too much water anyway as the season was about to end next week and the little buns would be able to harvest them this weekend.

  "I'll take his opinion like a grain of salt. We both know that Meng Yanran is inexperienced. It would be hard for her to adjust and I'm not sure how long she would be able to hold on to the job before she gives up. Li Yuanyi is biased about her because he is infatuated with her."

  "Just like you and Tang Moyu?" Song Fengyan countered.

  "No." Feng Tianyi shook his head. "Moyu and I have deeper feelings than that. To be honest, I don't care about Miss Meng. I don't mind Meng Yanran joining Xiao Xing, as long as she wouldn't cause us any trouble in the future. I'm sure Moyu also knows this. She had given the woman a once in a lifetime chance to prove herself. Whether Meng Yanran succeed or not isn't my f.u.c.k.i.n.g business." The devil said truthfully.

  He only allowed Meng Yanran to join the company because Tang Moyu said so, but if it was Feng Tianyi, he would turn a blind eye on the woman. The empress must have taken pity on her. He thought.

  "Oh, well. Let's just hope she won't mess up. Miss Tang wouldn't be able to cover for her for too long. She needs experience if she truly wants to be useful to this company." Song Fengyan agreed with him.

  They might sound really mean regarding Meng Yanran right now, but both men knew that she didn't have enough credentials to be useful for Xiao Xing at the moment. Whether or not Meng Yanran was aware about it, the two of them had no idea.

  "Anyway, nothing could be done about that. Let's just wait and see how she performs. It doesn't matter if she was an heiress or a gem expert, Meng Yanran would need to prove herself if she wants to stay in Xiao Xing." The devil said with finality.

  Song Fengyan only nodded and didn't bother to argue with his cousin. What was there to argue about anyway?

  "By the way, how's your new book going? Please tell me you've already started writing. You are still on schedule, right?"

  "I've already started, but I haven't written much." The devil admitted to him.

  This was one of the rare times that Song Fengyan missed having He Lianchen around. Talking alone with this hard headed cousin of his would surely shorten his lifespan.

  The two of them moved to the porch, away from the heat of the scorching sun. Song Fengyan busied himself with snacks and drinks while Feng Tianyi sat in the corner and resumed writing the draft for his next book.

  He hadn't been able to write for a few days because he was distracted by Tang Moyu. However, now, he had acc.u.mulated enough ideas for him to use in his new book.

  Without the twins around, Feng Tianyi didn't have any distractions and could focus on his manuscript, for the meantime. He was also missing his wifey, who had already busied herself at work and hadn't bothered to stop for a moment to give him a call.

  Feng Tianyi's fingers stopped midway over his keyboard. Would he and Tang Moyu always be like this? They'd been together for sometime now and yet he hadn't taken her out on a date.

  "Hey, do you have Li Yuanyi's number? I need to talk to him." He paused whatever he was doing just to ask Song Fengyan, who was now starting to doze off in his seat.

  "What? What could you possibly want from him? Hadn't he already paid his dues?" Song Fengyan grunted, annoyed that he'd been disturb.

  "I just want to make a reservation for me and Moyu. I would like to take her out on a date." Feng Tianyi explained.

  "Tianyi, since when do you call the restaurant chain owner to make a reservation?"
