Chapter 120 In a Relationship With the Empress 2
120 In a Relationship With the Empress 2
He took a quick glance at the empress seated by his side and found her squinting her eyes at him, asking him the unspoken question.
Hey, he was the victim here. Why was Tang Moyu looking at him suspiciously?
Damn it. He had no idea that the conversation would turn into this. Where did this old man get the idea of setting him up with Gu Yuyao anyway? Gu Yuyao definitely wasn't his type.
"Hmm… I'm not sure what you are talking about, Grandpa Gu. But if you still haven't figured it out, I'm currently in a relationship with Tang Moyu." He rubbed his nape awkwardly, hoping that Tang Moyu wouldn't think that he was stringing her all along.
Damn, this old man subjected him to this awkward situation. Did Grandpa Gu really consider him as a possible husband for Gu Yuyao? Did this old man want his relationship with the empress to end prematurely?
He knew that this old man was hard to deal with, but Feng Tianyi never thought he would put him into the hot seat in front of Tang Moyu.
"In fact, we're raising our cute little buns who are waiting for us to return home." He added.
The old man looked at him and then at Tang Moyu who didn't say anything to correct Feng Tianyi's claims, but instead stared back at him with her impassive cold face. He couldn't fathom how these two ended up together as they didn't look like they were a couple at all.
He Lianchen scoffed at that. Feng Tianyi may seem domineering, but it seemed rather obvious that Tang Moyu's the one who's really wearing the pants in their relationship. At the rate they were going, He Lianchen wouldn't be surprised if the devil would be a wife slave even before the two actually got married.
"Is that so? Why am I not informed of this?" Elder Gu rubbed his chin.
He knew that Feng Tianyi was living at Peach Blossom Garden, where his granddaughter had stayed temporarily when she came back. However, none of his private investigators had reported that the devil was in a relationship with the fallen empress.
"Why would I lie to you, Grandpa Gu?" Feng Tianyi's lip twitched in annoyance. "You can ask Moyu here if you doubt my words."
He nudged Tang Moyu's side, catching her attention before whispering, "you should say something unless you want to see me marrying your good friend."
"Miss Tang?" Elder Gu asked her for confirmation. Was the devil serious or was he just spouting excuses? Song Huifen hadn't even mentioned that her son was in a relationship the last time they'd talked.
Tang Moyu looked over her shoulder at Feng Tianyi.
Feng Tianyi let out an awkward laugh. "See grandpa Gu. Even Moyu agreed that I shouldn't marry Sister Yaoyao. In my eyes, I could only be her brother. Nothing else."
He would be damned if he loses Tang Moyu just because some old man wanted to play matchmaker between him and Gu Yuyao.
"Also, Sister Yaoyao is already in a relationship with He Lianchen and we're both happy with our lives. Please don't make things complicated and awkward between us, Grandpa Gu." He said as he laughed dryly.
The old man sighed and nodded.
"Then I apologize. I'm not fully aware of what life my granddaughter had ever since she left this place. I've looked for her all over the world just to bring her home." He then turned to look at He Lianchen.
"I hope Young Master He had been treating our Yaoyao well." He started, "if you don't mind, can you please convince her to come out, and let's discuss the possible union between you and my granddaughter."
He Lianchen's eyes widened at that. One moment, this old man wanted Yaoyao to marry the devil, and now he's willingly approving their relationship? Why was he eager to marry her off anyway?
---
Gu Yuyao had refused to talk to her grandfather after he voiced his intention to marry her off to another man despite the fact that she was already in a relationship with He Lianchen. What hurt the most was that the old man didn't think He Lianchen was worthy enough for her.
Since then, she refused to meet nor talk to anyone. At least they still bothered to leave her meals at her door and to check on her to make sure that she was alive. However, today was different. The old butler knocked on her door and announced Feng Tianyi's arrival with Tang Moyu and He Lianchen.
Her heart skipped a beat. She lost her phone and wasn't able to make any phone calls since her arrival, but she didn't expect that the devil and the empress would come this far with He Lianchen to see her.
She didn't waste any time and ran down the hallway towards the study room where the butler had informed her their guests were in. The moment she opened the door, four sets of eyes turned to look at her.
"Yaoyao…" He Lianchen finally sighed in relief seeing her.
"It seems like He Lianchen doesn't need to go upstairs and convince her." They heard Feng Tianyi said. "Anyway, Grandpa Gu. I think you and Sister Yaoyao need to have a good talk before we discuss the deal with He Lianchen later."
The old man agreed and nodded.
"Sure. I'll arrange for someone to prepare your meals in the meantime."
