As expected, the children had tired themselves out playing. In the end, the five children chose to have a sleepover at the Tang twins' room. With a huge sleeping mat spread on the floor, the five children were still snoring and deep asleep although the sun was already up that morning.

  "They really tired themselves out, huh?" Tang Moyu chuckled as she watched the children in their peaceful slumber. A smile blooming on her face as she recalled how her and her little buns' lives had dramatically changed.

  Before, Xiao Bao and Little Star preferred each other's company exclusively, ignoring other children their age when they were attending a kindergarten in New York. Now, her twins were slowly accepting other children to become part of their world, which Tang Moyu was proud of.

  "They stayed up late and passed out from exhaustion." Feng Tianyi said next to her. "It's not every day you can see them like this." He shrugged before pulling his wife, leading her to the kitchen so that he could prepare breakfast for the two of them.

  "Come on, Moyu. I'm starving." He grumbled.

  Tang Moyu arched a brow at him before running her fingers through her messy hair. They also went to bed really late last night and she felt a little exhausted from all the things that had happened lately.

  "Urgh, you could have gone out of bed on your own. Why do you have to drag me with you?"

  Some extra hours of sleep sounded more enticing to the empress, compared to eating something early this morning.

  "But that defeats the purpose of having you to myself, even for just a moment." Feng Tianyi replied before allowing her to take a seat at the cleaned dinner table and went to the fridge to take something from the inside.

  He came back to his wife with a red velvet cake in his hand, singing a happy birthday song with a wide smile on his face. Tang Moyu couldn't suppress the smile that bloomed on her face as she waited for Feng Tianyi to give her her birthday cake. She'd expected that he would prepare something for her.

  "Happy birthday, Moyu. I'm sorry I couldn't give this to you yesterday." Feng Tianyi said and gave her a peck on the cheek. "Baobao and Little Star said this is one of your favorite cakes, so I made one for you."

  He didn't mention that he had a hard time thinking about what to give her on her birthday, and had ended up baking her favorite cake. He wanted to give her something expensive, something she would love, but Feng Tianyi realized that those expensive material things wouldn't suit his wife's personality. Fortunately for him, he got a pair of little buns who were always ready to give him a hand when it comes to their mother.

  "You baked this for me?"

  "En. It's all yours. Don't worry about the twins. They won't ask for a share, so please enjoy it to your heart's content." He assured her. Since it was her birthday, the little buns wouldn't dare to eat their daddy's present for their mommy. "Now make a wish, baby."

  Tang Moyu chuckled and shook her head before following what he said. She shut her eyes and remained silent for a moment before blowing the candles that her husband lit for her.

  "What did you wish for?" Feng Tianyi took a seat next to her and sliced the cake for her.

  "Hmm? That's a secret. It won't come true if I tell you." The empress then took a spoonful of her sliced cake and devoured it eagerly.

  Tang Moyu loved this particular unique cake because of its flavor and Feng Tianyi could understand why. This kind of cake has a dynamic taste and texture that no other cake had. It had a vanilla flavor but also a hint of chocolate. It's also tricky to get it just right, because it should be buttery, yet stay moist.

  Also, due to the addition of Buttermilk and acid, it is a little tart and a little salty too. A cream cheese frosting was classic to a red velvet cake and provided it with another dimension of flavor—the creaminess.

  "How is it?" Feng Tianyi asked.

  Tang Moyu licked the cream from her lower lip, not realizing that she had just teased her husband.

  "It's good. Very good. I haven't enjoyed any desserts these days. Thank you, Tianyi. You are the best!" She answered before leaning forward, giving him a sweet kiss. Her hands slid up to the base of his neck and allowed him to get a taste of her.

  The sweetness of her mouth, hinted at by the taste of the red velvet cake, almost pushed Feng Tianyi to the edge. He wanted to take her, make love to her. but as Tang Moyu said earlier, they were too tired and would need to get a little more rest, especially for her, who had just come back from her long business trip.

  With heroic effort, Feng Tianyi parted from his wife, away from her soft body that he wanted nothing but to indulge. At least he wouldn't have to worry about not seeing his wife anymore. That one week apart made him more aware of how much influence Tang Moyu had over him, but he regretted not one bit.

  "By the way, you received a package yesterday. I forgot to inform you," he said, trying to suppress his urges and change the topic between them, while Tang Moyu continued to eat her cake.

  "From whom?" Tang Moyu blinked at that. She wasn't expecting any presents from outside her circle.

  Feng Tianyi shrugged. "I have no idea, but there's a note accompanying it. I didn't bother to check it because it is yours."

  They may be husband and wife, but Feng Tianyi still wanted to give his wife some privacy. He also trusted that she would tell him if there was something he needed to know.
