Late at night at Peach Blossom Garden…


  After Tang Moyu tucked her children in their beds and bid them good night, Tang Moyu quietly entered the study room where her husband was. Since they found out that she was pregnant, aside from their twins, the couple had chosen not to announce it until she reached the second trimester of her pregnancy.

  Feng Tianyi had also taken over most of the work on Xiao Xing, giving his wife a leeway to stay at home with their children and to focus on her pregnancy. Since he wasn't able to help her during her pregnancy with their twins, he decided to be hands-on this time, helping Tang Moyu with her responsibilities.

  The thought of their third child coming into this world and currently growing inside his wife's body made him feel extremely happy and proud. He was about to become a father again and this was far from the excitement and happiness he felt the first time he found out that he fathered Xiao Bao and Little Star. He had never thought being an expectant father would feel so amazing.

  Seeing him pampering her more than usual, Tang Moyu didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She knew that he was in a good mood since they found out about her pregnancy, allowing him to hold onto her hand, giving her a smile.

  Tang Moyu found him seated on the couch, looking through some doc.u.ments. She quietly took a seat next to him, pushing his arm aside, so she could lean on him.

  "What's wrong? Did Baobao and Little Star tire you out again?" Feng Tianyi allowed his wife to settle next to him, brushing her hair lightly away from her face. He wished he could do everything for her. He didn't want her to be worried about anything or anyone at his point.

  "I still couldn't believe how you manage to keep up with their energy," Tang Moyu sighed, shutting her eyes as she tried to relax. She'd been home for a week now ever since her twin brother had just been released from the hospital. She wondered how he was faring now.

  "You are worrying about Zhang Jiren again," she heard her husband say. He put down the papers he was reading and gently stroked her hair.

  "I can't help it. I don't understand why he wouldn't tell Meili about his condition. He even gave me the divorce papers to end his marriage with her."

  "He did? I thought he and Li Meili are getting along well."

  "I also think the same, but I can't blame him." Tang Moyu breathed in his familiar scent and sighed. "We've already scheduled his next surgery in two weeks. Perhaps that's why he wanted to settle the divorce once and for all."

  "So what about that beautiful lawyer he met recently?" Feng Tianyi questioned. He tried not to get too involved about the twins' decision, but he was willing to help when he was needed.

  That was why the first surgery Zhang Jiren had weeks ago had been kept from the public. He'd made sure that his brother-in-law's condition would remain confidential even from Li Meili and the Zhang family.

  "That stupid brother of mine— he's making preparations to make sure to leave his shares and properties in Leyan's name. It's not like my niece is lacking, but he made it look like he was giving up on himself already."

  "Then what do you plan to do now? Are you going to inform Li Meili?"

  "It's not like I have any choice. I need to put some sense in their heads or else they might regret divorcing later. I don't want any of them to be hurt, Tianyi. Not only that, but I also didn't want to see my own brother wither away like this," Tang Moyu said helplessly.

  "Since you're tired, why don't you go and take a rest now?" Feng Tianyi suggested. "I'll just finish some work here and will join you later."

  Tang Moyu nodded in agreement and stood up. She placed a kiss on her husband's cheek before turning to leave.

  Seeing her retreating form, Feng Tianyi thought that she had changed since the first time he met him. When he met the empress for the first time, her eyes and mannerism were guarded, not allowing anyone to challenge her nor question her. Tang Moyu wanted everything her way or no way.

  Now, she was willing to make compromises and listen to others' opinions. She also started relying on him more and more. Thinking about it, Feng Tianyi realized that the saying 'deciding on the one you marry is the most important decision a person should ever make,' and marrying the empress was something he would never regret.

  When he finished his work and went to their bedroom, he found his wife already curled up on her side. He should let her sleep but also wanted to touch her— make her shudder in passion and bury himself deeply into her. Since the news of her pregnancy, he didn't dare to touch her intimately.

  Feng Tianyi undressed and tossed his clothes over the reading chair inside their bedroom before climbing next to her, nude. He slightly massaged the back of her ears and kissed the s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e spot where her neck met her shoulder. Tang Moyu sighed, and then turned to face him, her eyes still closed, but her body knew exactly what it wanted.

  His lips traced the beautiful curves of her body, his hands working at getting her clothes off her.? His hands lingered a little longer on her still flat stomach. A few weeks more and her bump would show up, announcing to the world that their next child was about to join them soon.

  This time their union wasn't as frenzied as before. Feng Tianyi had been careful with her body as he worked to give them both languid p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, taking advantage of the drowsiness still apparent on Tang Moyu's face before she realized what was going on.

  She m.o.a.n.e.d softly as he slid into her, her hands reaching up to hold onto his shoulders.

  "Tianyi…" she called out to him in a hushed tone, her breath tickled his neck.

  That was all he needed to give in to the need between them. As she wrapped her slender legs around him, her inner muscles contracted tightly as he continued to move on top of her. He shuddered into her, holding her tightly as he released himself in her. Afterward, spent and languid from p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, he lay next to her and allowed her to snuggle on his side, a hand resting over his c.h.e.s.t.

  Feng Tianyi put his hand on top of hers and kissed her forehead. He and Zhang Jiren had found out the truth about Yan Qiuyu's death, but they had chosen to keep it from her for the meantime. He understood why Zhang Jiren was eager to finish the job and set Li Meili free from their marriage.

  Now, the only thing they needed was to wait for the founding anniversary of the Zhang Corporation to give the Zhang family a deadly blow that would leave them in shambles once he and Zhang Jiren were done.
