16 Meeting the Fallen Empress 2
"Please do," she sighed and rubbed her temple. "This is the first time they did this, so I have no idea how to convince them."
"Really?" Feng Tianyi raised a brow in her direction. He assumed that these two had done this before as they knew very well how to play him with words.
Tang Moyu nodded and stared at the closed door, wondering what her children were doing inside. She was afraid that they might break something inside or ruin this man's belongings. What's more, she was afraid of them getting hurt unsupervised.
She stepped aside and let Feng Tianyi talk to her naughty children.
Feng Tianyi gently knocked on his door and called them.
"Xiao Bao, Little Star? Didn't you say you wanted to take care of me? Then why are you hiding now? Are Uncle Ji's dishes not to your liking? I'm really hungry and the food will start to get cold if we leave them for too long. I hope you aren't planning to turn back on your words now."
There was an unmistakable silence in the air and neither he nor Tang Moyu was sure if they'd come out from his bedroom.
However, the moment they heard the pattering steps of the twins, Tang Moyu's eyes dramatically widened. She was taken aback on this sudden turn of events.
Xiao Bao was the one who unlocked the door and looked worriedly at Feng Tianyi. Following closely behind him was his younger sister, Little Star who had her head low.
"Sorry, Uncle. We didn't mean to make you skip your meal." Xiao Bao apologized which left his mother more shocked. She stood there, frozen at the side.
Wait. Was she hearing things or did Xiao Bao just apologize to a stranger he barely knew? 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚
Her children had only ever listened to her and ignored other people when they tried to discipline them. They wouldn't even budge no matter how hard others try to convince them to calm down, especially whenever they were throwing a tantrum at the same time.
And for Feng Tianyi to be able to convince them with a few simple words?
Tang Moyu couldn't help but pay attention to how this man interacted with her children. She didn't understand how he was able to do it.
"I know both of you are good children. Why don't we go back to the dining room and eat with your mother?" Feng Tianyi praised the two and patted both of the twins' cheeks.
The three went back to the dining area leaving her who was still standing there in shock. Her twins didn't even spare her a look and apologized to the man instead of her. Just who was this person? She wondered.
Seeing Tang Moyu still standing a couple of feet away from them, Feng Tianyi called her name.
"Miss Tang, why don't you join us? I've cooked enough dishes for us to eat together." Again, he was just being polite to her as his guest but he didn't expect that the fallen empress would accept his invitation to dine with them.
"I'll then trouble you again, Mister…" She took a seat next to Feng Tianyi and watched her children eat. The dishes looked delicious and the scent alone was enough to make her mouth water. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
In her anxiety to see both of her children safe, Tang Moyu realized that she hadn't even bothered to ask his name after introducing herself.
"Mommy, he's Uncle Ji," Little Star lifted her head to face her mother with some grains of rice stuck on her cheeks as she ate heartily.
"No, that's not his name, Little Star," Xiao Bao corrected his sister, "Have you forgotten his name is Qin Jiran?"
"Qin Jiran?" Tang Moyu turned her head to her right to look at Feng Tianyi. "You mean that famous author?"
Of course, she had heard that name before. Jiang Yunan and Li Meili had been raving about the author's books but neither of them nor his readers knew what he looked like.
Feng Tianyi scratched the side of his face awkwardly. If he admitted to Tang Moyu that he was indeed Qin Jiran, would she think he was lying if he hid the truth about him being her ex-fiance's older brother?
He sighed and smiled awkwardly at Tang Moyu.
"Yes, I'm that person. I'm sorry for ruining your good impression of Qin Jiran. You might probably not expect that I'm bound to a wheelchair."
There. He said it. He wasn't really lying to her, right? Not unless she asked him herself if his real name was Feng Tianyi, he would admit his real identity outside his writing profession.
Tang Moyu and gave him a nod. "No worries. I've heard your name, but I haven't actually read your works yet due to my busy schedule."
Feng Tianyi then left the dining table to retrieve a new set of bowl and chopsticks for Tang Moyu.
"Tell me if you don't like the taste, I might still be able to order dinner at this time," he glanced at the wall clock in his kitchen and saw that it was already past seven in the evening.
"It's alright, Mr. Qin. Since my children practically wolfed down the dishes you made tonight, I trust their taste buds. You might not know, but they are very picky eaters. It's rare to see them eat willingly." Tang Moyu calmly said before picking up some pork stir fry before giving it a taste.
"It's delicious!" She commented before following her children's lead and eating to her heart's content. She'd been working hard these days and barely had a decent and delicious meal to eat because of her busy schedule.
'They really are mother and children,' Feng Tianyi thought before he started eating his share.
The dinner had been a little awkward in his opinion, as neither he nor Tang Moyu dared to break the silence around them. He glanced at Tong Moyu, watching as she took some vegetables and placed them in Little Star's bowl to eat, convincing her in a low voice that she needed to get healthy for Tang Moyu's sake.
After they were done with dinner, Tang Moyu helped Feng Tianyi clean the table, leaving the twins at the living room to play for a while. Once they were done, she thanked Feng Tianyi for saving Little Star earlier at the cafe and promised to help him with the bills for his treatment, but the latter had declined her offer.
"There's no need for that Miss Tang. I enjoyed your children's company and I would hate it if I allow them to get hurt while they are with me." Feng Tianyi said as they walked back to the living room only to see Little Star already sleeping on his couch while Xiao Bao dozed off as he sat next to his sister.
"Thank you for dinner, Mr. Qin. The twins and I absolutely enjoyed your cooking. It's getting late so we better get going." Tang Moyu politely said before picking up her sleeping daughter from the couch while the bodyguard took Xiao Bao with him.
