Chapter 718 - Zhang Leyan (1)
Six months later.
Tang Moyu's injuries had finally healed and there was almost no sign of it as she continued her usual routine before the accident took place. After three months of staying at the Feng Mansion with her little buns, she finally went back to work at Xiao Xing.
Feng Tianyi initially hesitated to allow her to resume her work but she had already decided to take over the reign of her life again while making sure to tighten her security and limit the encounters she had with strangers.
As Tang Moyu flipped through the contract in her hand, Cheng Ning came with several jewelry brochures and pamphlets in her hand. Since Xiao Xing had partnered with several jewelry companies around the country, Tang Moyu was sure that her and Feng Tianyi's return of investment would come sooner rather than later.
"Ah, aren't Xiao Bao and Little Star's birthday coming soon? Would there be a celebration party for it like last year?" Cheng Ning asked her boss.
Tang Moyu looked at her assistant, keeping her spectacles on her face. How could she not remember that her little buns were going to celebrate their sixth birthday in two weeks?
This would be the first time that they would celebrate their birthday as a family. Last year, they celebrated it with Feng Tianyi when they only knew him as Qin Jiran, but this year would be different.
They finally have a daddy they could call their own and several uncles and aunts who doted on them too. Even Song Huifen had given her a call yesterday asking her if she and Feng Tianyi had already made plans for their little buns' birthday party.
"I'm not sure." Tang Moyu admitted. Since her last meeting with her friends, they only keep in touch with each other through phone calls and video chats. She supposed that was alright instead of not seeing or talking to them for weeks.
With Li Meili's pregnancy progressing well, Tang Moyu was also expecting her niece to be born next season. If Tang Beixuan was alive, he would probably be over the moon to know that he and Li Meili were expecting a healthy baby girl soon.
"Ah, I really want to help with the planning but I guess it will be cancelled." Cheng Ning sighed dejectedly.
In all honesty, she was looking forward to the twins' birthday. She had already prepared her gifts on time and couldn't wait to give it to them. Last year's celebration was truly enjoyable and she had a lot of fun playing with the twins.
"Tianyi and I haven't decided yet. If we're going to hold a party, it might be an intimate one but I will let you know." Tang Moyu responded before returning to her work.
It had been six months since then but the authority and the private investigators they had sent out were still unable to find the culprit responsible for their accident. He didn't even make any effort to reach out to her again and wondered if he was only prolonging the chase hoping that they would lower their guards somehow.
"Anyway, didn't you say you wanted to take a? two-week vacation? Why?" Tang Moyu remembered the short notice she received from her assistant.
"Ah, that's because my mother is sick, Miss Moyu, so I want to see how she is. Also I haven't seen her since I started working with you so…" Cheng Ning flushed, a little embarrassed that she had to leave her work under such short notice. Her mother insisted that she visit home soon over the phone call last night.
"I'm sorry, Miss Moyu…"
"You don't have to apologize for this, Cheng Ning. You've been with me and I understand that you also have a family that worries about you. I know someone who can fill your place for the meantime so go and enjoy your short leave, okay?"
Cheng Ning's face lit up once she heard her boss's answer. How can people say that the empress was scary and intimidating? She could never understand why they would say that.
She had worked with other people and superiors before, but they were unreasonable and hard to please in her opinion. With Tang Moyu, not only did the empress not chastise her for her mistakes, she even helped her correct it to avoid doing it in the future.
"If you're done with work, you can leave early. I'm also done for the day." Tang Moyu said as she stood up and took her coat from the rack. She was going to visit Li Meili and see how she was doing these days.
"Okay! Thank you again, Miss Moyu! I'll make sure to bring back some treats from my hometown!" Cheng Ning collected the folders from Tang Moyu's desk and scampered away from her office in a hurry.
Tang Moyu wanted to say that Cheng Ning shouldn't bother with it, but the young woman seemed eager to finish her work for the day so she could pack up for her short vacation. She chuckled over her assistant's eagerness.
Her phone rang and she saw that it was Li Meili.
"Moyu, are you on your way now?" She heard her best friend say.
"Yes." Tang Moyu replied. "Don't bother coming down to welcome me like the last time, Meili. You have to be careful with your steps."
"Not you too, Moyu. Zhang Jiren won't even leave me alone in peace these days. He keeps reminding me about things I am already aware of."
"He's just worried about you and your baby, Meili. It won't hurt to remind you once in a while. You aren't trying to cheat your diet, are you?"
"N-no…" Li Meili hesitated to answer.
