Chapter 609 - Price to Pay (1)
When Tang Moyu and the twins came home to Peach Blossom Garden, Feng Tianyi was already home, waiting for their return. Unlike his earlier cheery mood, his face was cold and hard as he sat on the couch, with a serious expression on his face. The twins had already gone up their room, leaving Tang Moyu with their father.
"So what pressing matters that brought you here so soon?" Tang Moyu asked, her gaze following their children as their nursemaids helped them up the stairs.
Feng Tianyi remained silent and considered his options.
"Why the long face? You don't have to act like this, Tianyi." Tang Moyu eyed her husband as she poured a cup of tea for each of them. The cold, piercing eyes he had at the moment would be enough to scare away other people but not her.
"This is serious, Moyu. I can't let anyone harm you and the twins." Feng Tianyi gritted his teeth and clenched his fist tightly, his figure leaning forward while his whole body emanated a dangerous aura around him.
If this wasn't the first time that Tang Moyu felt that she was being watched, then certainly, someone was really tailing after her. It hadn't been too long since they announced their marriage, but his enemies were already making a move against him sooner than he expected.
If something bad were to happen to his wife and his children, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself. There was no doubt that whoever was tailing his wife was after him.
"You worry too much, Tianyi. We will deal with them one after another." The empress leisurely took a sip from the cup and regarded her husband. "I didn't think that my husband would fall over just because I leaned on him."
Feng Tianyi stiffened for a moment and relaxed the next. He realized that only Tang Moyu had the ability to easily calm the storm in his heart with just a few words. If she was another woman, she would have blamed him already for the circ.u.mstances they were in, but she was not one of them.
"Do forgive me, Moyu. That isn't my intention at all."
"I know that's why I'm telling you to calm down and clear your mind. We'll make some preparations to tighten the security then, but you don't have to face this on your own," Tang Moyu said with a straight face. "People may think you are still the same devil they knew before, but you must remember that, first and foremost, you are my husband and my other half."
"I understand, wife." Feng Tianyi chastised himself for overthinking. He was starting to feel that he was only giving Tang Moyu burden these days.
"Well then, I can't just sit here and watch my wife cover after my arse again, right? I'll make those pigs regret ever thinking to scheme behind my back."
He was known as the devil in the past, but if they thought that his influence had weakened just because he got married and started a family, they were mistaken. If he wanted to, he could do whatever he wanted here in Shenzhen, with his hand covering the sky.
"That's right." Tang Moyu's eyes flashed with amus.e.m.e.nt, hiding her smile behind her cup. "Let everyone know that the devil hasn't lost his horns yet. Remind them why they cannot afford to offend my husband."
Tang Moyu was sure that this attitude of her husband stemmed from the accident he was involved with years ago. There were nights that she would wake up in the middle of the night, only to see him murmuring words in his sleep, breaking into a cold sweat as if he was trying to run from someone.
However, she never probed or questioned him about it in the mornings. All Tang Moyu could tell was that it wasn't something she could easily intrude. If Feng Tianyi was ready to tell her, she could only wait and trust his judgment.
Of course, she had heard from He Lianchen that there were casualties during that accident, but she didn't think Feng Tianyi should be blamed for it. Whatever happened might be a series of unfortunate events no one had anticipated to happen. So there was no need for her husband to suffer like this.
Although Feng Tianyi indeed committed a lot of misdeeds in the past, Tang Moyu was sure that his hands were never tainted with the blood of innocent people. She didn't want to see Feng Tianyi suffer like this any longer. How long would she be able to pretend that she was oblivious over his recurring nightmare, when even their children had been disturbed by his strange movements?
Unbeknownst to the two, they were being watched from the top stairs by a pair of round obsidian eyes. Xiao Bao had known for a while that their parents were dealing with some problems that they could never say in front of him and Little Star.
It hadn't been easy for him and Little Star to set Feng Tianyi up with their mother, but who would have thought that the crippled, handsome uncle they met a year ago in a downtown cafeteria ended up being their real father?
At least now, their mommy wasn't alone anymore. She didn't have to face the problems on her own. Also, having a daddy felt so good. From now on, no one would dare to call him and his twin sister fatherless or bastards again. They now had an awesome daddy that could take care and love their mommy.
Back to the issue, Xiao Bao's eyes darkened, almost mimicking the coldness his empress mother usually sported. He made a mental note to pay attention to the people and strangers he and Little Star would meet in the future. As the young master of the Tang and Song families, how would he allow themselves to be used as weaknesses against their parents? This little one wouldn't allow them to do so.
