Chapter 415 - To Be With You (1)
Tang Moyu was thankful that she wasn't eating at the moment because she was sure she would choke to death because of his shamelessness tonight. Was it too late for her to deny that she knew this man?
She was itching to wrap her hands around his neck and strangle him on the spot. Of all the places, why would he joke like that in this kind of place? She shot him a glare and looked away.
"Stop talking nonsense. People might misunderstand you if they hear you." She hissed, her eyes swept around them, making sure they were out of everyone's earshot. Seeing the mischievous glint in his eyes, she realized that he truly enjoyed teasing her too much.
"No one's here to hear what I say, Moyu and I'm not even joking!" The corners of his lips threatened to curl seeing her annoyed expression. He actually thought that spending the rest of his life with her would be beneficial to him in the long run.
He wanted to make her his in every way, so that no man, not even Yun Zhen, would be able to take her away from him. It might have been his pride that caused him to hurry back home, fearing that someone would take the chance to sweep the empress away while he was gone.
What a silly thought on his part. The ferocity of his possessiveness over the empress startled him. Holding Tang Moyu now, seeing the light blush dusting her cheeks, her slight smile said that she only had him in her eyes. Her sparkling eyes were something that was absent in her photos with Yun Zhen that he saw earlier.
The Tang Moyu that had been in the photos wasn't the same woman scowling in his arms right now. It was only then when Feng Tianyi realized that he might have overreacted and shouldn't have been reckless by coming back the moment he heard the rumours about Tang Moyu's involvement with Yun Zhen.
Tang Moyu decided to change the subject to dispel the awkwardness between them.
"So how was your trip?" She asked, her voice steady. Her feet following Feng Tianyi's lead as they continued to dance.
"Typical. A bit busy, but nothing special except for moving from one place to another constantly." He said flatly. They were on a date, why did she want to talk about work at this time? Shouldn't they be talking about something else, aside from work?
Feng Tianyi was a bit disappointed and had started to not think straight. He had worked his a.s.s off at Mengyin and Linyi City and had quickly wrapped up everything he could so he could see her again, and this was how she treated him on their first date?
He wanted it to be memorable and not to be filled with boring details about their work that was already enough to keep them busy, away from each other for days. Feng Tianyi knew that he was crazy about her and he knew that there was no cure for it.
"Now, can we focus on dancing?" He asked her. He was a bit surprised when she rolled her eyes on her before pulling her to another stance.
"Isn't that what we're already doing, darling? Do I need to teach you?"
He tilted his head and eyed the orc.h.e.s.tra who seemed to understand his intention for a change of music.
"En, I'll follow your lead then."
The simple dancing lesson turned into a battle to dominate each other as the empress stepped back after he came forward. Their bodies closely pressed against each other, their scent enough to drive the other crazy with the need to be one.
As the tempo of the music started to go slowly, indicating its impending end, Feng Tianyi drew the empress closer and rested the side of his face on top of her head.
Tang Moyu smiled. She was glad to have agreed to come here with him tonight. Even when the music ended, the couple didn't part from each other.
"Moyu?" He called her attention to him.
"Hmm?" Tang Moyu didn't bother to lift her head to look at his face. The side of her face pressed against his c.h.e.s.t, hearing the steady beating of his heart.
"Do you like me?" Came his inquiry. His voice was a little lower than usual.
"Why are you asking that all of a sudden?" This time, the empress pulled away and looked at him with confusion written all over her face.
"Answer me, Moyu." He pressed his question, leaving Tang Moyu curious of what he was thinking at the moment.
After seeing her photos with Yun Zhen, the devil couldn't help but wonder what Tang Moyu felt for him now. She rarely told him she loved him, and there were times that he felt that he was foolishly pining on her.
"Hmm…" Tang Moyu considered her next words, seeing that Feng Tianyi insisted to hear her answer. "I do like you, Tianyi and there's no word to describe the extent of my feelings for you. What about you? Do you still love me?" She returned his question.
"Do you really have to ask me that?" He said with a grim expression. "I know how much you care about me, but I don't know what you are feeling for me. Going around, being spotted with another man… Tang Moyu, I hope you know that I would never share what is mine!"
"That's a sad thing to say, Tianyi. I thought I've already made it clear to you." Tang Moyu ran her hands from his shoulders down to his arms that were holding her. "I said you matter to me now. I can't live without you. Why can't you believe me?"
"It isn't that I don't believe your words, Moyu." Feng Tianyi laughed at himself for being jealous of Yun Zhen so easily. He can't possibly drop everything every time he heard another man that was pursuing her. While he trusted Tang Moyu, he certainly didn't trust those men coveting after his wife.
