Compensation 1

Tang Moyu was dumbstruck. She didn't know what to tell Feng Tianyi at that moment.

"Mr. Qin… I'm really sorry about this."

Feng Tianyi could clearly see the conflicted emotions on her face. She must be feeling really uncomfortable right now, asking a stranger for a favor. If Little Star hadn't had an illness before, he'd surely bet that this woman wouldn't even want to step into his place.

It was already shocking for him to meet her under such circumstances and he hadn't expected that she was really with a child before her exile. Not only one, but two little cute buns.

Was this really the same empress that people had been wary of? He wondered. He laughed awkwardly before pointing at the door beside his room. Neither of them had expected that the Tangs would spend a night here. Thankfully, Tang Moyu had only allowed this for a night.

"You can take the guest room, Miss Tang. I'm also not sure why your children insist on taking care of me, but I won't harm or exploit them," he assured her.

Tang Moyu checked the time on her watch and sighed dejectedly.

"It's already past their bedtime. I'll be troubling you to put the twins to bed," she told him before excusing herself to enter the other room.

Thus, Feng Tianyi had no choice but to enter his own room and tell the twins to calm down. However, it took him some time before the twins tired themselves out and slept peacefully next to him.

Meanwhile, in the guest room, the bed was untouched as Tang Moyu set her laptop on the desk and resumed her work. Sleep evaded her tonight as she wondered how her naughty children were faring next door.

By the time Feng Tianyi woke up the next day, the twins beside him were still deep in their slumber. He gently removed their arms around his torso and dragged himself out of bed, taking his cane to support his body weight before slumping awkwardly on his wheelchair.

He then found Tang Moyu sitting on his couch, waiting for him to wake up. The sky outside was still dark and the sun had yet to rise.

"Good morning, Mr. Qin," Tang Moyu stood up and regarded him politely. It seemed like she'd been up for a while and had been waiting for him to come out.

"Good morning, Miss Tang. Didn't you sleep well last night? You are quite early today." Feng Tianyi replied as he led her to the kitchen to brew coffee for both of them.

Feng Tianyi was utterly speechless at her request but couldn't find it in himself to decline her. What kind of mother was she to leave her children to a stranger? Wasn't she afraid that he would have ulterior motives towards the twins?

However, the way she looked at him rendered him speechless.

"As you wish," he finally replied, "but aren't you going to say goodbye to them before leaving?"

He saw that the coldness in her eyes gradually diminished upon mentioning the twins. Feng Tianyi then knew that she was doing this for their sake, even if she wasn't comfortable with it.

"I was hoping…" Tang Moyu stuttered, which was so out of character, "I was hoping I could see them before I leave."

Ah, so that was why she waited for him earlier.

Feng Tianyi smiled before nodding at her.

"Of course you can, Miss Tang. I don't mind at all."

They went back to the main bedroom and Tang Moyu silently crept towards her children, kissing their foreheads lovingly.

"Mommy will go now. You must behave and shouldn't trouble your Uncle Ji while Mommy is away. " She whispered to them. Feng Tianyi witnessed the scene from the doorway.

He had never imagined that the infamous fallen empress could be this soft and loving, considering she was cold and ruthless within the business circle. Was this the same empress who made him helpless against his half brother?

Tang Moyu silently closed the door behind her and thanked Feng Tianyi once they were in the hallway.

"It's no problem, Miss Tang. I'm glad I'm able to help," Feng Tianyi assured her.

It was then that Tang Moyu remembered the incident that took place at the cafe yesterday. The thought of having Little Star getting injured instantly darkened her eyes with murderous intent. That woman was lucky she wasn't there to witness the scene or she would've destroyed her beyond recognition.

"Mr. Qin, I was informed that your belongings were destroyed during yesterday's incident. Please let me replace it." She told Feng Tianyi as she slipped her arms into her black coat and adjusted her collar.

At that moment, Feng Tianyi thought that he was like a wife who was watching her husband about to leave for work. Realizing what had crossed his mind, he berated himself. What the hell was he thinking about?

Noticing the weird look on the man's face, Tang Moyu raised a brow at him.

Feng Tianyi coughed and cleared his throat, suppressing the blush that was threatening to appear on his face.

"It's nobody's fault, Miss Tang. There's no need to replace it. Although I must admit that this put me at a disadvantage because I lost the manuscript for my latest book that's due in a few weeks."

Tang Moyu frowned. If it was just a material possession, she could easily compensate Qin Jiran for the trouble her twins brought to him, but this… Was there any other way for her to help him?
