Chapter 437 - Who Said We Are Friends? (1)
Even when Feng Tianyi sat in the passenger seat next to Tang Moyu, he still refused to set aside his copy of their marriage certificate. He could hear the twins' excited voices as they made calls to their favorite aunts and uncles to drop by tonight for dinner.
Since they weren't able to invite them for their 'wedding' earlier, Feng Tianyi and Tang Moyu decided to host a special dinner for their friends. However, they hadn't told them that they had gotten married, yet.
"Mommy Fen, you aren't coming to celebrate with us tonight?" Little Star pouted when she heard that their grandmother wouldn't be able to come tonight. "You are still in Beijing?"
"I'm sorry, my dear. Mommy Fen is still needed at work." The old woman let out a low laugh. Since the twins had put the call on loudspeaker, their parents were able to hear their conversation.
"But… When will you be back? I miss you." The little girl's voice had a hint of sadness in it, which made Tang Moyu glance at her mirror to look at her daughter.
Before coming here in Shenzhen, her twins had been very reserved, keeping only to themselves and would only listen to her. There were even instances where the two caused trouble for their nannies because they refused to listen to them and would occasionally pull pranks on them until they couldn't take it anymore and resigned.
Now, although Tang Moyu regretted not spending more time with their children, they seemed happy and content with having their father to accompany them while she wasn't around. They also seemed perfectly fine getting along with their favorite aunts and uncles.
"Soon, my cutie pie. Soon. Can you please pass the phone to your daddy so I can talk to him and your mommy?" Song Huifen asked, to which Little Star easily obliged.
Feng Tianyi snapped out from his trance and placed the red book in the pocket of his coat before taking the phone from his daughter's hand.
"Mother." He answered the call while Tang Moyu remained her focus on the road as they drove back home.
"So you and Moyu really got married this time?" Song Huifen asked, confirming the short message she received from Tang Moyu earlier, informing her about their decision to get married.
"Yes, Mother." Feng Tianyi confirmed. He hadn't expected that Tang Moyu would inform his mother herself.
"Great, and when were you planning to tell me this?" Song Huifen questioned him. "If Moyu hadn't texted me about your marriage, I would have been left in the dark without knowing my only child has just gotten married."
Feng Tianyi took a deep breath and glanced at Tang Moyu for help. He didn't know why, but he was starting to notice that his mother favored his wife more than him, her own son.
"Mother, it isn't that I don't want to tell you. Moyu and I barely had time to register our marriage on time. Don't worry, I'm sure Moyu wouldn't mind if I let you plan our wedding ceremony once we have time to spare for preparations."
"Really?" Song Huifen's tone was hopeful this time.
Seeing that her husband was having trouble with his mother, Tang Moyu had no other choice but to extend a hand to Feng Tianyi.
"Yes, Lady Song. I would really appreciate it if you could help me and Tianyi with the preparations." She told the older woman.
"Ah? What Lady Song? I'm already your mother-in-law, Moyu! Call me Mom from now on." Song Huifen corrected her and insisted on calling her Mom, catching the empress off guard.
"O-okay… Mom." She tested it, allowing the word roll from her tongue. It felt foreign, but not unwelcome at all.
Tang Moyu never had a good mother figure in her life, as her biological mother lost her life early, even before she was old enough to remember her, and Zhang Wuying certainly hadn't been a good mother to her while growing up.
"Fine. I will see you as soon as I'm back in Shenzhen." Song Huifen seemed pleased with their plan. "Tianyi, I hope that I don't need to remind you to take care of yourself. You have Moyu and the twins to consider now, so stop being imm.a.t.u.r.e."
Tang Moyu chuckled and tuned out the conversation between mother and son. Her car stopped at the red light at the intersection of the road and waited for it to change to green.
It was already rush hour when they left the Civil Affairs Bureau. Since it was after working hours, so there was no doubt that the roads would be congested at this time and Tang Moyu had to find alternative roads to avoid being stuck in a traffic jam with her children and her newly wedded husband.
Husband.
She had never thought that there would be a day when she would actually get married. Although she was betrothed for years to Feng Tianhua, she hadn't actually given the marriage itself a good thought.
Even now it felt very surreal. The reality that she was a wife, Feng Tianyi's wife on top of that! Tang Moyu felt that it might take some time before she gets used to it.
When they arrived home at Peach Blossom Garden, they found that Li Meili was already there, waiting for them.
"Meili!" Tang Moyu greeted her best friend while her little buns ran toward their aunt excitedly. "You didn't bring Beixuan with you?"
Li Meili gave them a genuine smile. Who would have thought that the empress would eventually settle down and get married?
"No, I know you haven't told him about Feng Tianyi." She replied, taking a glance at her best friend's husband. "You need to tell him soon, Moyu." She reminded her friend.
"I will." Tang Moyu nodded. She just hadn't found the right timing to inform her brother. She didn't want to keep her brother in the dark for too long.
