"Ah, Moyu. You are really the cold hearted empress. You won't even give me a chance to prove myself?" Yun Zhen questioned, which earned a scowl from the empress. Tang Moyu obviously doesn't mince words at all.

The man sighed and continued watching the outside, the commotion had subsided as Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue entered the building, leaving the photographers behind. 

"Is it Feng Tianhua?" He asked but immediately rejected the idea, knowing the empress had never given the man a second look. "No, he can't be…"

Just who was this mysterious man who was able to win the empress's heart? 

"Nonsense." Tang Moyu scoffed and left the room, intending to find Lu Tianxin in the crowd of people. It wasn't like she didn't like being in Yun Zhen's company, but she rather not start a rumor that would cause her and Feng Tianyi an argument in the future. 

Just as she thought she would be spared from some drama today, she met Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue in the hallway.

"Moyu…" Feng Tianhua called her out. 

His attention zeroed in on the empress, who was looking at them with a bored expression apparent on her face. He was oblivious to how Xing Yiyue's hold on his arms had tightened.

"Sister Moyu, it's been a while." Xing Yiyue greeted the empress with an awkward smile. 

Tang Moyu gave her a curt nod, acknowledging her before glancing at Feng Tianhua, who seemed to be clearly on the edge. She couldn't understand his behavior, but it's not like she was interested to know his reasons anyway. 

"Madam Feng." She greeted Xing Yiyue. "CEO Feng, excuse me, I need to find my cousin. I'll see you around." She excused herself and walked past them, not giving the couple a chance to even initiate a decent conversation with her. 

Feng Tianhua snapped out of his daze and turned around to talk to her, but he was already too late as the empress had already strolled away, disappearing into the crowd in the banquet hall. 

"Darling?" Xing Yiyue looked at her husband with confusion. She had this feeling that something had happened between Feng Tianhua and Tang Moyu to make him act like this. 

Feng Tianhua sighed dejectly. He needed to act carefully around his wife or she might suspect something.

"It's nothing." He sighed before forcing himself to act normally. There was no denying that Tang Moyu was still an unattainable person for someone like him.

They entered the banquet together and met several guests throughout the event. Feng Tianhua tried to look for Tang Moyu in the crowd, but it was hard as people kept coming towards him, not giving him a chance to catch her for a talk.

Lu Tianxin spotted him eyeing Tang Moyu. who was now once again cornered by Yun Zhen. The two were conversing lowly with each other, not aware of the curious look they'd been receiving from other people. 

Lu Tianxin hid her smile behind her glass as she sipped her drink. 

"What is so funny that you chose not to share it with me and leave me alone to deal with those old farts?" Ye Xiaozu appeared beside her, looking exhausted. He followed the direction where she was looking at and saw Tang Moyu talking to Yun Zhen. 

"Ah, Mr. Qin wouldn't be pleased if he knew someone's trying to pursue his empress." He commented, before taking the drink that Lu Tianxin passed to him. 

"It's usual for Moyu to garner attention from both genders. She just chose to ignore them." Lu Tianxin said before downing her drink in one go. 

"When you have a pretty face and a good head." Ye Xiaozu sighed. "She's quite a catch." 

"Sure, but it's also a curse in Tang Moyu's part, don't you think?" Lu Tianxin asked as she allowed him to lead her to a vacant seat, away from everyone's earshot. 

Ye Xiaozu looked at his fiance, then glanced at Tang Moyu's direction. Why would Lu Tianxin think so? 

"You don't get it? For someone like Moyu, it would be hard to find a man who would willingly look past her cold mask and probe deeper into her life." Lu Tianxin said thoughtfully. "Aside from her face, who's willing to stand beside her without getting intimidated by her?" 

Ye Xiaozu then understood what she meant. Even he could tell that Tang Moyu's overbearing aura was too much for him to handle. He couldn't even understand how Feng Tianyi was able to stand beside her. Perhaps it was because he was also cold blooded when it comes to people whom he deemed as his enemies. 

He shivered at the thought. Of course the devil would be able to if he wanted to. In fact, Ye Xiaozu wouldn't be surprised if Feng Tianyi took the matters into his hands to destroy those who dared to bully the empress. 

But looking at Yun Zhen right now, he could tell that he and the empress had this chemistry that made people look at them without exerting any effort. However, since the empress was already involved with the devil, Ye Xiaozu thought that Yun Zhen came too late.

It wasn't like he would have a chance even if he arrived earlier, because no doubt Tang Moyu would have a hard time accepting a man in her life with the circ.u.mstances she was in.

They saw Tang Moyu's eyes land on them and excuse herself from Yun Zhen, having enough of the unwanted attention they were garnering around them. Feng Tianhua, who also saw that she was leaving President Yun behind, tried to shrug off the businessmen around him to catch the empress, but failed.

Ah, the devil's rivals. How persistent.

Ye Xiaozu then laughed at the pathetic state Feng Tianhua was in. If he hadn't tried to push the empress away, destroying the bridge between them for good, he wouldn't find himself in this situation. In fact, right now, Tang Moyu had every reason to stay away from him.
