Chapter 388 - That Bastard Is Me (2)
"What makes you think we had a fight?" Feng Tianyi tested the waters.
He was aware that Tang Beixuan had only approved of him because he had met him as Qin Jiran and not as Feng Tianyi. With Tang Wanyu, Feng Tianyi didn't bother to confess his identity since she had already left even before he got properly acquainted with Moyu's older sister.
However, Tang Beixuan was different from Tang Wanyu. Since Tang Beixuan was an important chess piece for Zhang Wuying and the Zhang family, Feng Tianyi had been careful in dealing with the empress's little brother.
He didn't have a good relationship with Feng Tianhua and he had no idea how to treat Tang Beixuan properly without offending the younger man. Feng Tianyi was aware that Tang Beixuan disapproved of his sister's engagement to his younger brother, but how would he react now that Tang Moyu was dating the older Feng brother this time?
"For starters, my sister might be a walking ice block, but I know when she's giving someone a cold shoulder." Tang Beixuan said nonchalantly, remembering the time when his older sister had treated him the same way when he'd done something bad in the past.
For Tang Beixuan, her second sister was his idol. He had high regard for Tang Moyu and wanted to earn her approval. Wasn't that why he did his best to ace in his studies? That no matter how hard it was, Tang Beixuan refused to seek his sister's help over his assignments and lessons?
"No, we didn't fight." He heard Qin Jiran say. "But there is something we both need to work on and make peace before our relationship can progress."
"And what could it possibly be?" He asked Qin Jiran.
Feng Tianyi fell silent while Song Fengyan and He Lianchen continued to eat in silence.
"My identity and the father of her twins." He finally told Tang Beixuan. "Moyu is upset because I found the twins' father."
"And..? Who's that bastard?" Tang Beixuan slammed his chopsticks on top of the table in rage. No wonder his sister was upset today. But why would Qin Jiran do such a thing?
Qin Jiran looked at him straight in the eyes and suddenly, Tang Beixuan felt the heavy tension in the atmosphere.
"That bastard is me, Beixuan." Feng Tianyi didn't break his eye contact with the younger Tang.
"You what?" Tang Beixuan asked in shock. Qin Jiran was the father of the little buns? How could it be possible?
According to his sister, she neither saw nor remembered the face of the man who took her innocence, fathering the twins in the process.
"I don't understand…."
Feng Tianyi then narrated the events of what had happened five years ago, opting to leave some details out, like the one about him meeting his younger brother, Feng Tianhua. He still wasn't certain if he should let Tang Beixuan know the truth about him being Feng Tianyi, and not just Qin Jiran, the popular author Tang Beixuan idolized.
"Oh, that's soooo messed up. But hey, shouldn't Moyu Jie be glad that it was you and not some random man? Fate must be laughing at the two of you right now." Tang Beixuan commented once he had a clear gist on what happened between Qin Jiran and his sister.
Perhaps it wasn't a coincidence that the little buns were the first one who met Qin Jiran before their mother. The two were able to set Tang Moyu up with Qin Jiran without her noticing about it.
And for Qin Jiran to end up being their biological father? Weren't those two mischievous little buns too lucky for being able to meet their real father?
"But Tang Beixuan, you should also remember that your sister lost everything because of what happened. Her whole life turned upside down and she suffered because of it. It wouldn't be easy for her to accept the truth." Song Fengyan pointed out.
"Give her enough time to think about it." The younger Tang replied. "Moyu Jie isn't an unreasonable person. If she knows that you didn't intend for these things to happen, then it would be easier for you. But I think the real issue now is that she hasn't really moved on from the past. Even if she says she doesn't hold a grudge, I know she hasn't forgotten everything they had done to her."
There was a hint of regret in Tang Beixuan's voice that the three men noticed, but they didn't question him.
Whether it was because he wasn't able to protect his sister or because he was truly useless to help her, Tang Beixuan regretted that he couldn't do anything for the older sister who had protected him over the years.
Even now when their relatives were plotting against his sister, Tang Beixuan could only hold his tongue, knowing that he was still under Zhang Wuying's influence. Something he'd been trying to cut off since his return and since he reunited with Li Meili.
"Anyway, enough of that. I'm sure Moyu and I will overcome the problem just as we always do." Feng Tianyi smiled.
Now, their attention was back on the football match being broadcasted on the television, making bets as to which team was going to win.
It was already past four in the afternoon when the women and the little buns returned from their little shopping spree and sightseeing.
"Daddy! We are back! Look what I bought for you!" The four men heard Little Star's voice from the doorway, which was followed by her pattering feet on the floor.
The girl appeared with a wide grin on her face, her skirt had a big stain of what looked like chocolate ice cream on it. On her small hands, she lifted a big crab to show to her father.
"Wow, Little Star! That's a huge crab you have there!" Tang Beixuan sweatdropped. His niece was too brave to hold something like that.
"En! Mommy said Daddy can make something delicious out of it!"
