Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

Chapter 694 - You Aren’t Even a Zhang (2)

"Whether you continue or not, I'll respect your decision, Meili." Tang Moyu said once she was sure that her little buns were out of earshot after they skipped away on a quest to find their massive dog after finishing their desserts.

"Then I'll do it." Li Meili made up her mind. Since this was something she and Tang Beixuan had been looking forward to, then she cannot give up midway. "I want to do it, Moyu." She decided.

"Then please don't overwork yourself." The empress said before turning to face Zhang Jiren with a pointed look. "You have to make sure she's getting enough sleep and food since she's pregnant now."

"Yes, I understand. I'll make sure she'll be provided with everything she might need." Zhang Jiren easily yielded his sister, knowing that he couldn't ever deny her.

"Moyu, since we are done here. Didn't you say you want a word with Zhang Jiren?" Feng Tianyi took the chance to raise the issue the twins had yet to acknowledge today.

"The study is ready for you to use. I'll accompany Li Meili here and the twins so you don't have to worry." He told Tang Moyu.

Tang Moyu looked at her husband, then to Zhang Jiren who was equally nervous about this confrontation between them.

"Fine." The empress conceded before slowly rising to her feet with Feng Tianyi's help.

"Call me if there's anything you need." Feng Tianyi whispered to her before placing a kiss on her temple and released her. He gave Zhang Jiren a look to let him know that he could follow Tang Moyu now so they could speak in private.

He and Li Meili looked at their retreating figure until they were out of sight.

"Do you think Moyu would threaten him?" She asked Feng Tianyi, who was content eating his share of dessert, not knowing that it wasn't about her marriage the two were about to discuss.

He chuckled and shook his head. Certainly, Tang Moyu would set some conditions for Zhang Jiren as her best friend's husband, but he also knew that Tang Moyu wouldn't involve herself too much in their married life.

"Perhaps, but who knows, maybe Moyu would be lenient with him this time."

Zhang Jiren entered the study room, a different and larger one compared to when he was confronted by Feng Tianyi, only this time, it was Tang Moyu who was going to interrogate him for answers.

She took a seat on one of the leather couches and waited for him to take a seat too. Zhang Jiren then silently took a seat across her. Seeing her up close, he noticed that she looked better since the last time he saw her at Tang Beixuan's wake.

"My husband told me… tell me if it's true or not." Tang Moyu didn't waste time and asked him. She desperately needed to know if he was truly the twin brother she had lost decades ago.

Zhang Jiren looked at her with the same impassioned expression on his face.

"I'm not particularly sure what you are talking about, Miss Tang. Can you be a little more specific, please." He answered, much to Tang Moyu's irritation.

"Zhang Jiren…. No, that's not your real name right? Because the truth is, you aren't even a Zhang in the first place. Am I right, Tang Lingjun?" She said, running her fingers through her thick hair, away from her face.

Zhang Jiren smiled. A genuine smile crossed her lips as he regarded his twin sister. At least right now, he didn't need to pretend that he didn't know their familial ties as siblings with each other anymore.

He nodded, affirming Tang Moyu's words. What was the point of denying his identity, now that Tang Moyu already knew of it?

"Right. What your husband said is right. He isn't lying to you." He thought of how lucky his sister was to find a husband as considerate and as loyal as Feng Tianyi. Zhang Jiren was sure that if she ended up becoming Feng Tianhua's wife, he would make sure not to give the man a peaceful day in his life.

Tang Moyu nodded and looked away. Her photos and the awards her father had collected over the years and had treated as his treasure were now moved here. Tang Lixue must have truly regretted that he couldn't become a good father to her and Tang Lingjun.

"Who else knew about it?" She asked Zhang Jiren.

"Aside from Zhang Xianzhe and your husband, no one else." He answered with all honesty. "Let's keep it that way for now. Please don't tell Li Meili yet. I don't think we are that familiar with each other to know each other's secrets."

Tang Moyu stared at him for a long time, trying to find deception in his words and actions, but there was none. However, she still had another question that had kept bugging her since she found out about her twin brother's existence.

"You knew for a long time and yet you didn't dare to tell me. Why?" She asked. "If you dare to tell me that it was for my own safety, then please drag yourself out and never show yourself in front of me ever again. I don't appreciate people who look down on me." She threatened him.

Zhang Jiren was stunned into silence by her words and it took him several seconds to recover.

"It was because I was a coward. Even now I don't want to reveal myself to you. If Feng Tianyi hadn't meddled and informed you, you wouldn't be seeing or meeting me as your brother, Tang Lingjun."

"A coward, huh?" Tang Moyu scoffed at his remarks. "That's too long to be a coward, Zhang Jiren."

Zhang Jiren smiled, not daring to deny his sister's claim. He was truly a coward, alright. If she hadn't suffered such humiliation over six years ago, he wouldn't have decided to finally make a move against Feng Tianhua who hurt her, as well as against the Zhang family who plotted against their family.
