My Wife Is a Great Beauty 2

"En. I thought you asked your Uncle Yan earlier to see her before we go home?" Feng Tianyi replied while Song Fengyan paid attention to the road making sure to slow down for Xiao Bao's sake.

"Really? Does my Mommy know we're arriving?" The boy asked again.

"You and your Uncle Yan will see her later. I'll have to stay here and wait for you." The reclusive author replied. He wasn't sure if his visit would be welcomed by the empress anyway. He didn't want to give her more reasons to avoid him.

Xiao Bao frowned but didn't say more. He couldn't understand why his Daddy Ji and Mommy were avoiding each other at all. Did they have a fight that neither he nor Little Star knew about?

"Tell you what, why don't you surprise your Mommy with a bouquet of flowers?" Song Fengyan joined their conversation.

He glanced at the dashboard mirror and saw the devil's foul mood in the back seat, his emotions evident of his face. He must be really frustrated that Tang Moyu had rejected him without giving him a chance to prove himself.

"She might not like flowers, but I think she would be extremely happy to receive one from you and your Uncle Ji."

Alright, Song Fengyan decided to extend an olive branch to his cousin this time, but whether the empress accepts the flowers or not would be her decision. He could only give the devil an opening to let Tang Moyu know about his intention.

Feng Tianyi considered his cousin's suggestion and nodded. Flowers were commonly used by people to express themselves. During the Victorian era, flowers were primarily used to deliver messages that couldn't be spoken aloud.

In a sort of silent dialogue, flowers could be used to answer "yes" or "no" questions. A "yes" answer came in the form of flowers handed over with the right hand; if the left hand was used, the answer was "no." Similarly, if given a rose declaring "devotion" or an apple blossom showing "preference," one might return to the suitor a yellow carnation to express "disdain."

"I know a place where we can find the right flowers. What do you think, Xiao Bao?" Song Fengyan asked.

"En! Let's do that, Uncle Yan! I want to surprise my Mommy!" The boy said eagerly. Since it would be his first time visiting his mother at her workplace, he wanted to give her something to lift her mood at work.

"Uncle Ji, would you mind helping me choose the right flowers?" He asked the handsome uncle beside him.

"Why, of course. We should give your mother a good surprise."

Ten minutes later, Feng Tianyi and Xiao Bao found themselves inside a huge flower shop. The little boy was clearly overwhelmed by the display of different flowers around him. He couldn't decide which one to choose to give to his mother.

No, he shook his head. She told him herself that she's not particularly fond of flowers. However, that didn't mean she didn't appreciate them.

"Hi, Little One. Can I help you?" One of the staff in the flower shop assisted Xiao Bao. "Are you looking for something?"

"En. I want to give my Mommy some flowers but I don't know what I should give her."

"Do you want a simple bouquet or something that she can keep for a long time?" The woman asked. She couldn't help but think how cute this little boy in front of her was.

"Really? I can give her something that can last longer? My Mommy's working hard and I want to give her something she could keep in her office."

"Of course you can. How about you give her a pot of Garden Hydrangea? With the right amount of water and sunlight, it will flourish even if it's indoors."

"Have you decided what to give your mother?" Feng Tianyi wheeled himself towards the two and asked Xiao Bao.

The attendant looked between him and the cute boy and assumed they were father and son given how they resembled each other.

"Sir, you are really lucky to have a precious son like this." She told Feng Tianyi much to his surprise.

This woman might have assumed that he was Xiao Bao's father, but he didn't have time to correct her as she continued.

"Look at him. Isn't he handsome? I bet your wife is a great beauty, considering your son got most of your best features."

"Hmm…" Feng Tianyi rubbed his chin and thought about Tang Moyu's cold beauty and nodded, "Indeed, my wife is a great beauty." He agreed with her.

Surprisingly, his mood got better after hearing this woman's praise. He couldn't agree more that Tang Moyu had given birth to a pair of good looking twins.

Meanwhile, Xiao Bao's eyes lit up once he heard what his Daddy Ji thought about his mother. Did he really think his mommy is a great beauty? Did this mean that his and Little Star's plan was starting to work between them?

The young boy couldn't help but be excited by this development. He would need to discuss this with his twin sister later so they would be able to help their Daddy Ji win their Mommy's heart.

Minutes later, Feng Tianyi and Xiao Bao had two different flowers in their hands. Just like the woman offered earlier, Xiao bao held a small pot of Garden Hydrangea while Feng Tianyi had a bouquet of yellow daffodils in his hand.

"Thank you for your visit! Please come again!" The woman was happy that she'd managed to make a good sale from the two of them. "I hope your wife will love them!"
