It didn't take long before the rumors of the empress being spotted with the king of Yun group reached the ears of the devil, who was temporarily staying at one of the hotels the Song family owned at Linyi City.

  Feng Tianyi's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he scrolled through several pictures of his woman, who was seen with Yun Zhen hours ago. He even went to read each article written about them and couldn't help but eat vinegar on the spot.

  Goddamnit! He'd only been gone for three f.u.c.k.i.n.g days on a business trip and another fly was trying to woo his woman right under his nose? No f.u.c.k.i.n.g way!

  Although Tang Moyu's face was still as impassive as ever, Feng Tianyi didn't miss how Yun Zhen had shamelessly stared at his woman as his world had zeroed onto her. The devil scowled at the thought. He was the only person who was allowed to ogle at the empress! He wouldn't let anyone try to share her, other than their twins of course.

  He was aware that the collaboration project between the two companies was vital for Tang Moyu to keep her control over Tang Enterprise, but it didn't sit well with him that she had to be in the same place with Yun Zhen.

  As a man, how can Feng Tianyi ignore the fact that another man was coveting after his wife? He had not been gone for long and yet Yun Zhen had managed to take advantage of the situation. Was Tang Moyu aware of Yun Zhen's intention?

  "What's wrong? What's eating you now? Did you have a fight with Miss Tang?"

  Feng Tianyi failed to hear Song Fengyan entering his hotel room as his attention remained on the screen of his phone. He closed the entertainment articles on his phone browser, before locking it, throwing it casually on the couch where he was seated.

  He didn't want to see those photos of Tang Moyu with Yun Zhen anymore. Feng Tianyi contemplated his options, perhaps it wouldn't be too early anymore if he asked for Tang Moyu's hand in marriage, considering she already knew the truth.

  Song Fengyan raised a brow at him, his eyes briefly catching the twins photo on Feng Tianyi's wallpaper. He started to wonder how easy it was for the devil turned to a new leaf. Nine months had passed since their return from France, yet he couldn't see the trace of the helpless, crippled man that had come back with him.

  Thinking about it, hadn't it been only yesterday when the devil said he abhorred being the presence of children as they were little devils in disguise? But look at Feng Tianyi now. He was obviously wrapped around the little buns' fingers, not giving a damn that they were the same little devils he was talking about.

  Anyway, those two were the spawns of the devil, so it was only natural for them to inherit some of Feng Tianyi's mischievousness.

  "Is it because of the rumors about Miss Tang and Yun Zhen again? Isn't he quite persistent?" He chuckled. "Makes me wonder if the two have a history."

  Song Fengyan seemed already immuned by the devil's deathly glare as he only felt amused over the latter's annoyance. It was a rare chance to see the devil like this. Why the hell would he waste his opportunity to annoy Feng Tianyi?

  Anyway, unlike the devil, who was a proud and arrogant man, Yun Zhen had a silent ruthlessness in him that people around him are accustomed to. However, Song Fengyan thought that it was just the man's wishful thinking if he thought that he would be able to win the empress's heart at this time.

  Although Song Fengyan didn't want to admit it, his cousin and the empress's bond was deeper than anyone's understanding. He'd never seen his cousin being perfectly attuned with any other person aside from Tang Moyu. Perhaps, the woman had a better understanding of how the devil's mind works than him.

  "Want me to do an overall cleaning on it again?" Song Fengyan asked him. "I think Yun Zhen was trying to condition Miss Tang and the others' minds that she would eventually become his."

  "Over my dead body." Feng Tianyi muttered angrily. It hadn't been easy for him to win the empress's heart, so why would he allow someone like Yun Zhen to sweep her away from him? He wouldn't give up Tang Moyu without a fight.

  Yun Zhen dared to attempt to take what was his? Then this devil wouldn't mind starting a war, and he wouldn't mind playing dirty if he needed to. Since Yun Zhen was brave enough to covet after his wife, then he should be prepared for the devil's retaliation.

  "Remind them why I threatened them not to publish anything that could ruin Tang Moyu's reputation, or else, they should face the repercussions of their actions." The devil said cooly as he stood up, taking his coat from the top of the coffee table.

  "What about Yun Zhen?" Song Fengyan asked him. There was no way the devil would let Yun Zhen off the second time. The first should have been a clear warning to the other man not to covet after the devil's woman, but it seemed that Yun Zhen missed the warning.

  "Don't worry about him. Lianchen and I will deal with him later." Feng Tianyi said as he stepped out of his hotel room, his cousin following right behind him.

  He couldn't wait to return home to Shenzhen and despised the idea that he needed to wait another four days before he could actually go home. He now understood why Tang Moyu was always too eager to come home whenever she was on a business trip.

  Feng Tianyi was not only missing the company of their little buns, he missed her presence as well. For the first time in his life, he had a place to return to. He couldn't wait to return home where his little family was waiting for him.
