Feng Tianhua suddenly felt like he was being silly talking to her like this. Was their relationship really too late to mend now?

  "Do you know that you really didn't need to humiliate me and ruin my reputation six years ago?" Since they were here, she might as well say her piece.

  "While it's true that our betrothal was only because of our family ties, I never tried to taint your reputation, which you have never tried to return the favor for my sake." She pointed out.

  "When I found out I was pregnant, I knew then that I cannot marry you. I intend to break our engagement and set you free. But who would have thought that you and Xing Yiyue wanted to see me at my lowest point? I knew it was my fault. I should have broken my ties with you even before it happened."

  It was a moment of weakness on her part. She was too confused and distraught because of the sudden situation that befell her, finding herself pregnant from a mistake that shouldn't have happened.

  "Did you really love her so much, to the point that you were willing to destroy me for her sake?" She questioned him, but the answer she got was far from what she was expecting to hear.

  "Moyu, the one I love is you." His words came out all of a sudden, surprising both Tang Moyu and himself.

  When silence ensued between them, Feng Tianhua inwardly chastised himself. Had he really said it out loud? What the hell was wrong with him! No matter what he felt for the empress, it wouldn't change the fact that Tang Moyu was indeed his sister-in-law now.

  Tang Moyu thought that she was already immune and wouldn't be surprised by whatever Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue would say, but the confession made by her ex-fiancé unexpectedly made her brain go blank, refusing to believe what he just uttered.

  "You are joking, right?" She chuckled, hoping that Feng Tianhua would take back what he said. Wasn't it enough that their partners had an issue with them? Now he was trying to fuel the fire?

  Tang Moyu was sure that her husband would throw a fit once he found out that his brother confessed to her like this. Ah, she was starting to get annoyed at how things were turning out between them.

  Feng Tianhua, who also recovered from his shock, shook his head.

  "No. It isn't. I should have told you a long time ago." He admitted.

  Tang Moyu looked around and sighed in relief when she noticed that they were out of everyone's earshot. This was truly ridiculous. How could he speak carelessly like that?

  "Bullshit. You love me? This isn't funny at all, Feng Tianhua!" She hissed back, not believing him one bit. "Don't give love a bad meaning. You certainly don't love me at all!"

  What kind of person would rather see the one he or she loved being destroyed and humiliated? If that was the kind of love Feng Tianhua had, Tang Moyu would rather not be loved by him! The love that he'd shown to her was far from the love she'd gotten from Feng Tianyi.

  Feng Tianyi had been patient with her since the beginning and even if she had misgivings, he tried hard to understand her, never blaming her or making her feel bad about herself. Her husband never made her feel unwanted, and in fact, treated her as his equal partner.

  Like any other couple, it was normal that they get into arguments once in a while, but Feng Tianyi had never hurt her even once, whether it was physically or emotionally. So this kind of love Feng Tianhua was talking about…. Ha… she really didn't like it one bit.

  "Are you trying to invalidate my feelings for you? If you haven't gotten pregnant, you would have been my wife now." Feng Tianhua argued.

  Inexperienced she may be, but Tang Moyu knew that a great foundation of love should come with respect, but Feng Tianhua never showed her any of that. If Feng Tianyi's love was nurturing and respectful, his brother's love would be selfish.

  Based on his words, wasn't he implying that she was an object to be possessed?

  "Can you even hear what you are saying right now, huh? Are you forgetting that the two of us are already married to another person? I care less about what you feel for me now, because what matters to me the most is my husband's." Tang Moyu pointed out.

  "What do you think Xing Yiyue would feel if she knew what you said today? For f.u.c.k's sake, Feng Tianhua! You got a pregnant wife at home and you are professing your love to your sister-in-law? Just to make it clear, I owe you nothing. What happened in the past is in the past now. You should be happy that I'm still keeping my distance from the two of you."

  Feng Tianhua suddenly snapped out of his rising rage and calmed down. How could he forget about Xing Yiyue and his unborn child?

  "Since you've chosen her and will be having a child with her, be content with what you have now, Feng Tianhua." The empress has had enough and intended to leave and be reunited with her assistant. If she had known this would happen today, she wouldn't have agreed to Feng Tianyi's request.

  "As for the paternity of my children, unlike you and Xing Yiyue, Tianyi and I are on the same page. He's truly the father of my children. How about you? Are you really sure that Xing Yiyue's child is yours? Xing Yiyue…… Is that even her real name?" She scoffed, fl.i.c.k.i.n.g her long tresses behind her back, and walked away from Feng Tianhua, who remained rooted on the spot.

  As Tang Moyu walked away from him, Feng Tianhua could only stare at her retreating form. What did she mean by that? Did she know something about his wife that he didn't?

  'Yue, what are you hiding from me?'
