Chapter 639 - I Owe You Nothing (3)
"I-I will wait for you in the lobby Miss Moyu." Cheng Ning looked at her boss and Feng Tianhua awkwardly. She believed that Feng Tianhua should stop bothering her boss now. Wasn't he the one who forsaken her in the first place? If anything, he shouldn't blame Tang Moyu for the misfortune that befell them.
"Do you hate me that much? That you would choose to marry my brother just to spite me? Tang Moyu, I never thought you would stoop so low just to get even with me." He spat lowly in the empress's face, his confusion and irritation apparent in his eyes.
Tang Moyu tried to pull her wrist from his hold, but Feng Tianhua only tightened his hold on her.
"Feng Tianhua! Are you out of your mind?!" She sneered back at him. "Don't tell me you are thinking that Tianyi and I were lying about our marriage and relationship?"
When Feng Tianhua didn't say anything in return and Tang Moyu saw his jaw hardened, her anger rose to another level.
"How dare you?!" Her eyes were so cold that Feng Tianhua's hold on her slightly loosened, but he refused to step back. Hadn't he already insulted and humiliated her enough? Who was he to question her on how she should live her life?
"He's the real father of your children? Do you think this is a scene from a sappy romance novel?!" Feng Tianhua retorted.
No. He refused to believe that the man, the father of her children, was his elder brother. How could Feng Tianyi be so lucky to get Tang Moyu in his life? His sister-in-law? Feng Tianhua couldn't accept it! She should have been his wife! Tang Moyu was supposed to be his!
So how the f.u.c.k did she end up with his brother instead? For Feng Tianhua, who was extremely self-centered, he couldn't quite believe that Feng Tianyi would truly love the empress and was just giving her face in public by taking responsibility for her children.
"Oh, look who's talking? Feng Tianhua, who do you think you are? I think you are forgetting something here." Tang Moyu was visibly shaking in anger now. She stepped forward, invading Feng Tianhua's private space. She wanted nothing more than to beat this stupid man into a pulp.
This time, Feng Tianhua had really shot his own foot by touching the empress's bottom line. Of all the things, he would question and probe about the most s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e subject, why did he have to drag her children's paternity into this confrontation?
She eyed the hand that was holding her left wrist and pulled his hand towards her. Feng Tianhua's eyes widened when he realized that she angled the hand straight on her throat.
"Here. I'm trying to remind you what you told me that day. Weren't you too furious that you couldn't wait to pounce on me once you found out I was pregnant?" Tang Moyu said, challenging him to deny her words.
He and Xing Yiyue had repeatedly tested her patience, over and over again. Hadn't she been lenient towards the two of them that she hadn't actively exact revenge on them? If it was another person, Tang Moyu was sure that Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue would have already lost everything by now.
Feng Tianhua was too shocked at their sudden change of position. With his hands on her throat, the nightmares that had been plaguing his mind since her disappearance flashed by in his mind. The guilt he felt after she left was so immense that it had kept him awake for several years.
However, the event that followed was something he had never expected. Her popularity suddenly soared, earning back her reputation in such a short period of time. But it wasn't comparable to the blow of finding out that she married his elder brother.
As he looked closely at her face, he realized that this wasn't the same empress he had known years ago. Tang Moyu had become a person of her own, not the same lifeless doll that he saw growing up. She didn't allow anyone to dictate how she should live her life, not even her 'mother'.
Feng Tianhua released his hold on her throat and let his hand fall on his side. No… he cannot allow himself to make the same mistake he did to her, no matter how angry he was with her. This wasn't Tang Moyu's fault. It must be his brother who had fed her lies to go against him. Because the truth was, she was the only one who could get under his skin. Even his wife didn't have that kind of influence on him.
Tang Moyu took this chance to step back, putting a safe distance between them. It would be improper if people saw them in such an awkward situation. Perhaps, she should take this chance to make things clear between her and her husband's half-brother. She didn't understand why Feng Tianhua was still clinging unto her like this when it was him who wronged her in the first place.
"Feng Tianhua, have you forgotten how you destroyed me? Do you think that I would continue to wallow in misery when you and Xing Yiyue were having the best time of your lives? Say, what do you take me for, huh?"
"You were right. You have every right to be mad at me." Feng Tianhua admitted. "It's not that I don't trust you. It was my brother's actions that I don't trust at all. You should know by now that he and I don't get along well."
"And this is my problem because?" She raised an eyebrow at him.
Tang Moyu really found it ridiculous that her husband and Feng Tianhua couldn't set aside their differences and act m.a.t.u.r.e even once in their lives. Did they really want to live like this throughout their lives?
