Chapter 606 - Moving Forward (1)
Tang Moyu pulled her car into a stop on the vacant parking space near Li Meili's boutique. Following her were two black cars with their bodyguards in them. She unbuckled her twins from their seats and helped them step out of the car before locking the doors of her car behind her.
As they made their way to see Li Meili, she suddenly felt an ominous feeling, stopping her in her tracks. She looked around them, feeling alert as if someone was looking at them. Was she overthinking, or someone was stalking them?
"Mommy?" She heard Little Star call after her. The girl holding her right hand stared at her confused, as to why they suddenly stopped midway. "Is there something wrong, Mommy?" She asked Tang Moyu while Xiao Bao copied her actions, his eyes sweeping around them but found nothing.
Was Mommy looking for something? He wondered, but why did their mommy have such conflicted expressions on her face?
"No, darling. Mommy just thought she forgot something." Tang Moyu smiled, reassuring her daughter before they resumed their walk. Today, they came here to get their measurements taken by Li Meili since she was the one in charge to make her bridal gown and the twins' attires for the upcoming wedding ceremony.
Tang Moyu made a mental note to discuss it with her husband. This wasn't the first time she felt being watched anyway, and she feared that whoever it was must have held malice towards her and might pose a danger to their children.
They had already considered the consequences of revealing their marriage to the public and knew that some might target their twins. However, she and Feng Tianyi didn't want to be held back by fear and would rather face the problems that arise together.
The Tang twins released her hands and ran towards Li Meili when they arrived in her office. Because the two had known Li Meili and had been with them since their birth, it was only natural that, of all their aunts, the twins were the closest to their Auntie Mei.
"Ah, our cute little buns are here." Li Meili smiled as the twins wrapped their arms around her t.h.i.g.hs, trying to get her attention. She bent down and placed a kiss on both their cheeks.
"Look at you, growing up too fast. Soon, your Mommy and I wouldn't be able to pick you up," she commented.
Had it only been a year since Tang Moyu came back to the country with the twins?
Li Meili felt like there were a lot of things that happened in the past year since their return. From the moment these two were able to find their real father on their own up to the time Tang Moyu and Feng Tianyi got married, these twins had done a lot of work.
Tang Moyu took a seat and waited for her best friend to get the measurements of the twins while she took the chance to message her husband, who was no doubt still busy at his work in Qing Tian Group, and informed him that they arrived safely in Li Meili's boutique.
Now that Zion Inc.—one of the aggressive competitors of Qing Tian Group—had been acquired by the company, Feng Tianyi and He Lianchen would be busy with the amount of legal paperwork needed to be done. The amount of money Feng Tianyi spent to purchase the shares of Zion Inc. was all worth it. Not only did he manage to eliminate a competitor, but he also acquired their assets and resources.
She wasn't expecting that Feng Tianyi would answer her message that morning so Tang Moyu raised a brow the moment her phone beeped, indicating a reply from her husband. Her lips curled into a smile upon seeing his response to her message.
Li Meili gave her a side glance and smiled, seeing Tang Moyu's expression. She hadn't seen her best friend this happy. They knew each other since they were young, and Li Meili could tell that this was the only time she had seen Tang Moyu this happy and content with her life.
Not only did Tang Moyu have her twin next to her, but she had found the love of her life in Feng Tianyi. Also, she had managed to free herself from the control and influence Zhang Wuying had on her. It hadn't been easy for the empress, but with the right mindset, she was able to reach the happiness she deserved in her life.
Li Meili hoped that she would attain the same thing her best friend was enjoying right now. Perhaps in the future, she and Tang Beixuan would be able to have a happy life together, but for now, they needed to wait and see how he would be able to free himself from his mother and the Zhang family's influence.
Elaine Wu knocked gently on the door to get their attention, her eyes instantly lighting up when she saw the Tang twins visiting them today. She immediately fawned over Little Star who was now dressed in a white princess gown.
"Oh, my gosh, Little Star! You are so pretty!" Elaine took the chance and snapped a few pictures of the girl using her mobile phone.
"Miss Elaine, can you give me the files, please." Tang Moyu reminded her. Elaine could easily forget what was happening whenever the twins were around.
Elaine snapped out of her excitement and blushed from embarrassment, only to hear Li Meili laugh. How could she forget the reason why she came here? She sauntered towards the empress and handed her the folder for assessment. She had been working with Li Meili for about a few weeks now, and she was about to start her managerial training soon.
Tang Moyu read the doc.u.ments and was pleased with Elaine Wu's performance. Since the Black Nightingale was about to branch out, Elaine would be a great help for her and Li Meili. In three days, Li Meili and Elaine Wu would be leaving for Beijing.
