Chapter 762 - It\'s Not Feng Tianyi\'s Fault (2)
When Tang Moyu came home, she was confused upon seeing Zhang Jiren seated in their living room with her little buns. Hadn\'t they agreed that they wouldn\'t be seeing each other in the meantime for safety reasons? Then why did he come here unannounced?
Zhang Jiren saw her arrive and gave her a weak smile. Following his gaze, the two little buns who were eating some pastries lifted their head and beamed at her. Ah, her cute little babies were growing up so fast. Tang Moyu hoped that time would slow down a little, so she could still pamper them a little more.
Little Star came running towards her and stretched her arms eagerly waiting to be hoisted.
"Mommy, Uncle Jiren visited us today and brought the pastries he promised last time, but he didn\'t bring Auntie Mei and Baby Leyan with him," the little girl informed her once she held Little Star in one arm.
"Little Star, didn\'t I tell you not to ask Mommy to pick you up anymore? What if you hurt her shoulder again?" Xiao Bao glared at his twin sister.
"But I\'m not that heavy." The girl pouted cutely to her mother. "Right, Mommy?"
"Ah, I just returned, and you want to argue again. What did I tell you last night?" Tang Moyu pretended she wasn\'t affected by her daughter\'s cuteness, although what she wanted to do right then was to kiss her cute, chubby cheeks nonstop.
"Sorry, Mommy. I\'m just worried about you," Xiao Bao muttered an apology while his twin sister tried another approach to placate their mother.
"I just want you to hold me, Mommy. Don\'t be angry anymore," Little Star said before wrapping her small arms around her mother\'s neck and kissing her cheek affectionately.
Tang Moyu wanted to laugh right then. Oh, how smart her daughter was to use her own cuteness to charm her?? Little Star was really good at earning everyone\'s favor acting like this whenever she wanted something.
At that moment, Feng Tianyi came from the kitchen, wiping his wet hands clean with a towel.
"Oh, you are finally here. Why don\'t we have dinner first? I\'m sure you haven\'t eaten enough for lunch," he told Tang Moyu.
The empress sighed and agreed with him. "Indeed, I\'m starving."
With the amount of work she had to finish on time, and her mind constantly being preoccupied with the problem regarding Zhu Ziqian, of course, she didn\'t have any appetite to eat her meals.
They moved to the dining area with Zhang Jiren joining them for dinner. While the two little buns ate all the meat in their bowls eagerly, asking their father for more, he apologized to his sister.
"I\'ve called your husband this morning. I didn\'t know he hadn\'t told you. I\'m sorry."
"Ah, Moyu. He\'s right. He made a call this morning, but I totally forgot to give you a call and inform you about him coming here to meet us." Feng Tianyi gave his wife an apologetic look before noticing that his daughter had snatched the piece of meat from her twin brother.
Seeing the two were about to argue again, Zhang Jiren decided to deal with them at once. He noticed that like his sister, these two little buns liked to eat meat and pastries made by his brother-in-law.
"Xiao Bao, Little Star, do you want to compete with Uncle Jiren? Kids like you should also eat their vegetables to grow up strong and healthy. Let\'s see who can finish off their vegetables the fastest, okay?" he asked the two, earning the curiosity of the FengTang couple.
"But what\'s the prize?" Xiao Bao asked curiously. He wouldn\'t bother to compete and waste his time if he wouldn\'t gain something in return. This was a trait he surely got from his mother.
"A prize, huh?" Zhang Jiren cupped his chin. He didn\'t expect his nephew to ask for a reward for winning. Perhaps his wife was right. He should never underestimate children like Xiao Bao and Leyan.
"What about an extra serving of dessert for tonight," Feng Tianyi suggested.
Tang Moyu\'s eyes lit up, wanting to join the little competition along with her brother and little buns, but the look Feng Tianyi sent her reminded her that she was limiting her calorie intake these days and should not eat more than what she planned.
"But what\'s for dessert?" Little Star inquired.
"Chocolate banoffee pie," Feng Tianyi replied.
"Okay!" Xiao Bao finally agreed to his uncle\'s challenge while Little Star frowned upon seeing the amount of vegetables left on her bowl.
"But mine\'s still full of vegetables. It\'s unfair, Uncle Jiren! I\'m going to lose against you and Yu Gege." She pouted before turning to her father to ask for help. "Daddy, please give Uncle Jiren and Yu Gege more!" she demanded.
Zhang Jiren laughed before passing his plate to his brother-in-law. He briefly thought that if Leyan act liked this in the future, he would never be able to decline her request just as Feng Tianyi couldn\'t deny Little Star.
Feng Tianyi came back with a plate full of vegetables for Zhang Jiren and Little Star secretly laughed, thinking that her daddy was trying to make her uncle lose for the amount of vegetables he gave her uncle.
The two little buns, who initially ignored the vegetable dish their father made tonight, hurriedly ate their share, not wanting to lose to each other or to their uncle. Tang Moyu rested her chin on one hand as she watched the three compete. Her twins\' cheeks were bulging as they ate while Zhang Jiren pretended to have difficulty finishing his share.
"Oh no! Baobao, you need to hurry or your uncle would surpass you!" Feng Tianyi laughed as he watched his twins struggle to win against their uncle. Had he known this would be a good way to make them eat more vegetables, he should have done this challenge before.
In the end, Little Star placed the last piece of vegetable in her mouth and declared herself the winner.
"Hahaha, Uncle! Yu Gege! The pie is mine!" she announced proudly.
"Ah! I lost to Little Star? I didn\'t know she\'s this good." Zhang Jiren clapped his hands and praised his niece.
Their dinner ended filled with laughter, but once done and the three a.d.u.l.ts were left at the dining table when the twins went to their nannies to have their bath before bedtime, the tension in the atmosphere came back at full force.
"So, what brought you here? What about Meili and Leyan?"? Tang Moyu asked her brother.
"Don\'t worry. Li Yuanyi and Miss Meng came today for a visit. They are spending the night with her and Leyan," Zhang Jiren replied.
"So, what now? You mentioned that you want to tell me and Moyu something important. What is it?" This time, it was Feng Tianyi who asked him.
Zhang Jiren remained silent for a few seconds, trying to sort his thoughts.
"Your accident. I want to talk about the car accident you got involved with seven years ago," he told Feng Tianyi after a long silence between them.
Feng Tianyi furrowed his brows while Tang Moyu stared at her twin brother curiously.
"What about it?" Feng Tianyi asked. He didn\'t miss how Zhang Jiren looked uncomfortable in front of them. What was it that made his brother-in-law act like this?
"Your accident… I was the person behind it."
