Tang Moyu hadn't hit the dead end yet, so there's no need for her to make a reckless decision in tying a knot with Feng Tianyi too soon. Although she didn't think that Feng Tianyi would abhor the idea of them getting married, she also didn't want them to be married for such reasons. It would be unfair to him no matter how Tang Moyu looks at it.

  Their marriage would end up as a bargaining chip, something she could use against her mother, totally removing Feng Tianhua's chances to threaten her into submission. Tang Moyu wanted to believe that she and Feng Tianyi truly loved each other, so she didn't want their marriage to happen only because she needed to use him.

  Dinner came a little later and her little buns had informed them about their new classmate that Little Star befriended. Their daughter also asked Tang Moyu's permission for Lan Yanru to visit them over the weekend.

  "Sure, darling but we need to talk to her parents first. It's for her own safety." Tang Moyu told Little Star.

  She and Feng Tianyi had to make sure that the new girl came from a good family and wouldn't cause harm to their little buns in the future. Huo Yunhao had earned a special pass because Feng Tianyi knew the old man of the Huo family and the boy always arrived with his own bodyguards in tow.

  "Ah, Yunyun said she doesn't have a daddy, but she will talk about it with her mommy." Little Star responded as she ate her dessert eagerly.

  Tang Moyu hummed but didn't ask more. It wasn't her place to question why the girl was fatherless. Hadn't it only been months since her two little buns were in the same situation, before they met Feng Tianyi?

  Even after dinner and taking a shower, Tang Moyu's thoughts were still occupied with her options on how to deal with her problem back at Tang Enterprise.

  "Stop overthinking, Moyu. It won't help you." She heard Feng Tianyi, who had just stepped out of the shower.

  Tang Moyu turned her head to look at him and nodded.

  "I'm just curious about your brother's motive that's all." She told him.

  Feng Tianyi's eyes sharpened at that. How can he not know what his little brother was up to? The only possible reason why Feng Tianhua joined the Tang Enterprise was to have her back on his side. As if the devil would allow such things to happen under his watch.

  —-

  When Tang Moyu woke up next to Feng Tianyi, it was still too dark outside and the sun wasn't even up yet. She was awakened by his low voice as he conversed with someone over the phone at this ungodly hour.

  Unlike her, who kept her phone in silent mode when she was sleeping, Feng Tianyi's phone was always ready to receive phone calls even at night, since he wasn't only working for Xiao Xing right now. He was also helping his mother run Qing Tian Group remotely from the comfort of their home.

  Although she had another bath, as they had made love before she fell asleep, the tiredness on Tang Moyu's body still remained. Feng Tianyi had been gentle with her this time and had allowed her to appreciate their physical union.

  Tang Moyu was too tired to move and didn't have the strength to turn around to look at him. A moment later, she felt Feng Tianyi come back and lay down again, hugging her from behind.

  It was a little cold tonight and Tang Moyu enjoyed the warmth of his body. Feng Tianyi wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her shoulder lovingly.

  "Did I wake you up?"

  Tang Moyu hummed and with half lidded eyes, she forced herself to roll on her side to face him. She could not help but rub her sleepy eyes.

  "Who is calling you this late?" She asked him.

  "Mother." Feng Tianyi didn't even bother to hide it from her. "She just called to inform me that her flight from Amsterdam was slightly delayed and told not to worry."

  "Is that all?" Tang Moyu didn't know that his relationship with his mother had improved after they found out about the twins' identity, and since Feng Tianyi had voiced his intention to allow the twins to join the Song family. However, she was glad that the two were starting to mend their relationship as mother and son.

  "Yes." Feng Tianyi said, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "Sleep. You need to rest." Which she did as her eyes drooped, allowing sleep to catch up with her.

  The lights inside Feng Tianyi's room were dim. Their clothes were strewn over the floor as evidence of their passion earlier. Under the quilt, Feng Tianyi held the sleeping woman tightly in his arms.

  When he gave Cheng Ning a call earlier, the woman had informed him about Tang Moyu's intention to meet the Tang family's lawyer. He could only guess why Tang Moyu would suddenly want to meet the lawyer.

  It must be something related to her inheritance from her father and Tang Moyu had been reluctant to disclose the reasons to him earlier. He didn't mention any of this to Tang Moyu because he didn't want to sound presumptuous regarding her personal affairs.

  Since he ran a background check on the empress some time ago, Feng Tianyi knew that Tang Wanyu and Tang Beixuan had already gotten their share of inheritance from Tang Lixue, but she hadn't made a move to claim hers until today.

  Feng Tianyi wanted her to confide in him, but he also knew that he cannot force Tang Moyu to do so. Whatever was indicated in her father's last will and testament could surely help Tang Moyu secure her position in Tang Enterprise, completely obliterating her mother and his brother's chances to oust her.

  He was sure his woman wouldn't consider checking the will herself if she thought she wouldn't gain anything from it.
