Chapter 341 - Table for Two, Please (1)

The bar opened just in time as the regular patrons came in one by one. It was still early and only a few seats were occupied, so Madam Rong and Meng Yanran didn't need to worry at the moment.

However, they both know that the place will be packed later. Madam Rong's husband was busy fixing their service vehicle, changing its tires while he still had time before the bar started to get busy.

Meng Yanran had changed into the usual uniform of the bar, helping Madam Rong behind the counters. She pushed all her worries out of her mind as she worked around. By keeping herself busy, she could temporarily forget the pain of betrayal she suffered from her husband and her mother's sharp words against her person.

The door of the bar opened and a man and a woman walked in, arm in arm, clearly they were not from the local neighborhood. Meng Yanran lifted her head, her eyes widening as she saw a familiar face coming in.

Black, wavy hair tumbled over the woman's shoulder like a dark waterfall. It framed her beautiful brown eyes and pinkish lips that looked enticing in the afternoon sunlight. She was wearing her customary black business suit and pants, making her stand out from the rest of their customers.

Beside her, Meng Yanran saw a handsome man, wearing a casual dress shirt and black pants. In his right hand, he was holding a cane to steady his posture as he strode alongside the empress. It seemed like they had just arrived from their long travel and had chosen to stop by.

How did the fallen empress of Shenzhen end up in this rural town? Meng Yanran didn't think she had any business to do here, considering that there weren't many businesses here that could entice Tang Moyu.

Meng Yanran had no choice but to walk towards them. She didn't have the heart to abandon Madam Rong and let the old woman do all the work. Although there were other employees available to do the job, they were all preoccupied at the moment.

"Would you like a table?" She asked Tang Moyu and her companion. Feng Tianyi only smiled at her, not saying a word.

Tang Moyu paused for a moment to give her a good look, which made Meng Yanran feel a little bit embarrassed being regarded by the empress.

"Yes. A table for two, please." The empress replied without breaking her gaze on the woman they've been looking for. It was easy to spot Meng Yanran in the crowd because of her beautiful face and the almost perfect symmetry of her features. It was impossible for anyone to ignore those.

Meng Yanran's aristocratic face was too out of place for a place like this. Tang Moyu couldn't even believe that a former heiress like her would be able to find shelter in this kind of place.

She and Feng Tianyi took a seat and thanked Meng Yanran for the menu she'd passed to them. Tang Moyu lazily scanned the menu, but she didn't find anything to her liking. Seeing that she couldn't choose anything, Feng Tianyi took the matter into his hands and chose for her instead.

"Serve us your bestseller and if you don't mind some bottles of beers. Ice cold." He told Meng Yanran.

Meng Yanran wrote down their order and retrieved the menus from their hands and casually told them to wait for a few minutes for their orders. She could not chase them away as she wasn't sure why they were here anyway. She didn't feel that it was safe to assume.

She and Tang Moyu had nothing to do with each other and weren't acquainted. There's no way the empress would come here for her.

Once she was out of sight, Feng Tianyi leaned towards Tang Moyu, whispering to her. His eyes looking around to see if anyone could recognize the two of them.

"You know, you don't need to come here with me. You could have waited for my return in Shenzhen."

"And then what?" She gave him a pointed look. "You were going to come here all alone. If Song Fengyan or He Lianchen was coming with you, I wouldn't even bother." The empress said in defense.

"So you do admit that you care for me now, huh?" Feng Tianyi grinned back.

"Isn't what being in a relationship means?" Tang Moyu scoffed and looked away, trying to hide the blush on her face.

Anyway, it was rare for Feng Tianyi to leave Peach Blossom Garden and with his current condition, it wouldn't be ideal to let him travel on his own, even if he brought an entourage of bodyguards with him. It would only draw unwanted attention. Spending a weekend with him didn't seem like a bad idea too.

"So why do you have to come here and see Meng Yanran yourself? You doubt your people?" Tang Moyu asked while they waited for their orders to come.

"To make sure she's here. Li Yuanyi wouldn't be satisfied reading the report alone. I have to see her with my own eyes." The devil replied. He always made sure that he accomplished his side of the deals he entered perfectly, without missing any details.

"Is that so?" The empress asked. She looked around, not expecting Meng Yanran would turn back to face them. Meng Yanran probably recognized her, judging by the way she looked at her earlier.

"Here's your order." Madam Rong came to them and served their order slowly.

"Really? Beer? At this time? I thought you said you are starving?" Tang Moyu eyed the dishes and the bottles of beer on Feng Tianyi's side.

"What? I'm tired. I want to drink something." Feng Tianyi winked at her, gesturing for her to start eating, which she did.

Madam Rong laughed at their bantering.

"Newly weds?" She asked.

"Yes." Feng Tianyi immediately replied.

"No." Tang Moyu said. She glared at the man sitting across her. What the hell was he talking about? People would misunderstand them if he kept spouting such nonsense.
