Tang Moyu's frown deepened. She was actually afraid that strangers would take advantage of her children. Although they were a pair of mischievous children who always found fun and interest in random things, they were her life. She appeared to hesitate for a moment but soon accepted Feng Tianyi's offer.
"Please do," she sighed and rubbed her temple. "This is the first time they did this, so I have no idea how to convince them."
"Really?" Feng Tianyi raised a brow in her direction. He assumed that these two had done this before as they knew very well how to play him with words.
Tang Moyu nodded and stared at the closed door, wondering what her children were doing inside. She was afraid that they might break something inside or ruin this man's belongings. What's more, she was afraid of them getting hurt unsupervised.
She stepped aside and let Feng Tianyi talk to her naughty children.
Feng Tianyi gently knocked on his door and called them.
"Xiao Bao, Little Star? Didn't you say you wanted to take care of me? Then why are you hiding now? Are Uncle Ji's dishes not to your liking? I'm really hungry and the food will start to get cold if we leave them for too long. I hope you aren't planning to turn back on your words now." There was an unmistakable silence in the air and neither he nor Tang Moyu was sure if they'd come out from his bedroom.
However, the moment they heard the pattering steps of the twins, Tang Moyu's eyes dramatically widened. She was taken aback on this sudden turn of events.
Xiao Bao was the one who unlocked the door and looked worriedly at Feng Tianyi. Following closely behind him was his younger sister, Little Star who had her head low.
"Sorry, Uncle. We didn't mean to make you skip your meal." Xiao Bao apologized which left his mother more shocked. She stood there, frozen at the side.
Wait. Was she hearing things or did Xiao Bao just apologize to a stranger he barely knew?
Her children had only ever listened to her and ignored other people when they tried to discipline them. They wouldn't even budge no matter how hard others try to convince them to calm down, especially whenever they were throwing a tantrum at the same time.
And for Feng Tianyi to be able to convince them with a few simple words?
Tang Moyu couldn't help but pay attention to how this man interacted with her children. She didn't understand how he was able to do it.
"I know both of you are good children. Why don't we go back to the dining room and eat with your mother?" Feng Tianyi praised the two and patted both of the twins'
cheeks.
The three went back to the dining area leaving her who was still standing there in shock. Her twins didn't even spare her a look and apologized to the man instead of her. Just who was this person? She wondered.
It took her a few seconds before she followed behind them and saw her son helping his sister take a seat next to him and resumed their meal.
Seeing Tang Moyu still standing a couple of feet away from them, Feng Tianyi called her name.
Feng Tianyi then left the dining table to retrieve a new set of bowl and chopsticks for Tang Moyu.
"Tell me if you don't like the taste, I might still be able to order dinner at this time," he glanced at the wall clock in his kitchen and saw that it was already past seven in the evening.
"It's alright, Mr. Qin. Since my children practically wolfed down the dishes you made tonight, I trust their taste buds. You might not know, but they are very picky eaters. It's rare to see them eat willingly." Tang Moyu calmly said before picking up some pork stir fry before giving it a taste.
"It's delicious!" She commented before following her children's lead and eating to her heart's content. She'd been working hard these days and barely had a decent and delicious meal to eat because of her busy schedule.
'They really are mother and children,' Feng Tianyi thought before he started eating his share.
The dinner had been a little awkward in his opinion, as neither he nor Tang Moyu dared to break the silence around them. He glanced at Tong Moyu, watching as she took some vegetables and placed them in Little Star's bowl to eat, convincing her in a low voice that she needed to get healthy for Tang Moyu's sake.
After they were done with dinner, Tang Moyu helped Feng Tianyi clean the table, leaving the twins at the living room to play for a while. Once they were done, she thanked Feng Tianyi for saving Little Star earlier at the cafe and promised to help him with the bills for his treatment, but the latter had declined her offer.
"There's no need for that Miss Tang. I enjoyed your children's company and I would hate it if I allow them to get hurt while they are with me." Feng Tianyi said as they walked back to the living room only to see Little Star already sleeping on his couch while Xiao Bao dozed off as he sat next to his sister.
"Thank you for dinner, Mr. Qin. The twins and I absolutely enjoyed your cooking. It's getting late so we better get going." Tang Moyu politely said before picking up her sleeping daughter from the couch while the bodyguard took Xiao Bao with him.
