"So Song Fengyan and Luo Qingqing…" Tang Moyu didn't continue her question as Little Star came running towards them, asking for more snacks. She was now sitting under the shade where Feng Tianyi was sitting earlier, watching the twins play a ball with Song Fengyan and He Lianchen.

  "She's not really what you call an ex-girlfriend." Feng Tianyi answered nevertheless. "She used to be a stripper Song Fengyan saved years ago."

  Luo Qingqing? An escort? Now, that's new for Tang Moyu.

  She'd never thought Song Fengyan was a man who would use an escort to fulfill his s.e.x.u.a.l needs.

  "He met her at a bar. Her real name is Lan Xiyan. Fenyan saved her from some perverted customers who tried to harass her. Fengyan then became her regular patron. He wanted her to leave her job, but it wasn't easy for Luo Qingqing to regain her freedom because she was sold by her own father as a payment for his debts."

  "That's horrible." Tang Moyu said. To actually sell your own child to pay for your debts? Luo Qingqing surely wasn't lucky to have a father like that.

  "I know, right? But Fengyan did his best to help her. Unfortunately, one day she just suddenly vanished and we heard nothing about her anymore. Fengyan had kept mum about what had happened between the two of them."

  Feng Tianyi didn't dare to ask his cousin for the second time because he'd seen the emptiness in Song Fengyan's eyes whenever someone mentioned Luo Qingqing.

  It was only recently that the pain in his cousin's eyes resurfaced when they saw Lan Xiyan's face on a billboard when Song Fengyan came back to Shenzhen with Feng Tianyi. Song Fengyan was clearly affected by it and Feng Tianyi and He Lianchen could tell that he wasn't really over that woman.

  Whatever Song Fengyan and Lan Xiyan had years ago, it was clear that they didn't part ways in a good way. Meeting each other face to face for the first time in years, they both looked like they were still in pain because of their relationship.

  "Will Song Fengyan be fine?" Tang Moyu asked.

  "He is trying, Moyu. He's doing his best actually." The devil replied in a low voice, giving Little Star a wave when the girl waved at him and Tang Moyu.

  "Doing his best? To do what?" The empress couldn't understand what her boyfriend meant.

  "Doing his best not to remember her. It was hard for him to get back to his normal life ever since she left. He was a totally different Song Fengyan back then. I could tell that he wasn't the same cousin I grew up with over the years."

  "Must be hard for you to see him like that." Tang Moyu commented. Although the devil and Song Fengyan always argued with each other, she could tell that they have this brotherly love that Feng Tianyi could never share with his half-brother.

  Their bond was deeper than what the two Feng brothers had with each other. If there was someone Feng Tianyi could rely on like a brother, it was Song Fengyan. That was why it also pained him seeing Song Fengyan walking around like an empty shell. Lifeless and empty inside.

  "But I can somewhat understand him." Feng Tianyi held her hand in his and kissed it. "I would end up the same way if you leave me."

  "That's ridiculous. Why would I leave you?" Tang Moyu questioned.

  "You probably will if I did something that can make you hate me. But I hope that never happens." Feng Tianyi smiled at her.

  There was a slight blush on Tang Moyu's cheeks that she tried to suppress. Why was he even saying these kinds of things to her? Was he hiding something from her?

  "Fengyan had been like an empty vessel, trying to live a normal life since Lan Xiyan left him. Moyu, you are my world. I cannot imagine my life without you and the twins in it. If you leave me, I would be truly broken beyond repair." Feng Tianyi said without batting an eyelid.

  "Please don't say that…" Tang Moyu tried to cover her face by hiding it with her towel, but Feng Tianyi laughed and snatched it from her hand. She glared at him, but her cheeks were still dusted red with a blush.

  She had never heard someone profess his love to her like Feng Tianyi did. 'You are my world' sounds more romantic than hearing I love you from him. She could feel her heart beating hard in her c.h.e.s.t and a blush creeping on her face.

  Having him by her side, seeing her twins enjoying their first time on the beach, Tang Moyu was sure that this was one of the best memories she would have with Feng Tianyi and her children. On top of that she was surrounded by friends who truly cared about them.

  "No, Moyu. You have to understand that I cannot be without you." He whispered into her ear, holding her close to him. "I must be losing my head over you."

  Didn't people say that being in love was like being in a temporary madness? Then Feng Tianyi wouldn't care so long as it was with Tang Moyu.

  Tang Moyu ignored how the white sand clung on her legs. Xichong Beach was one of the best beaches she had ever seen in her life. Known as the "Oriental Hawaii", one would enjoy the sceneries around them. The mountain and rivers are connected. The sea was blue and clear and perfect for swimming.

  The empress would forever hold this memory in her heart. No matter where she goes and where her relationship with Feng Tianyi would go, this place would be special for her.

  They were distracted when they heard Song Fengyan groan.

  "Mommy, we won!" Xiao Bao and Little Star ran towards their parents and wrapped their arms around them. "We beat Uncle Yan and Uncle Number 2!" Xiao Bao exclaimed.
