It was the day of Li ili and Elaine Wu's departure for Beijing. Since it was a weekday, the airport was filled with other travelers waiting for their flights to arrive. Tang Moyu, along with Tang Beixuan, t the two at the airport to send them off. The awarding ceremony for the designer of the year was still over six months, and so they weren't sure how long the two needed to stay in Beijing.
"Are you sure you don't want to co with you?" Tang Moyu asked Li ili, which the latter answered with a shake of her head.
"There's no need for that, Moyu. This is sothing Miss Elaine and I can do on our own. You are needed here," Li ili replied, holding Tang Moyu's hand with her. Perhaps it was because she had gotten used to having Tang Moyu by her side that leaving Shenzhen without her suddenly felt too long in Li ili's opinion.
"Alright then…" Tang Moyu nodded. "Call anyti if you need help or if there's a problem."? Since Li ili put it that way, Tang Moyu has no other choice but to trust her best friend and Elaine Wu this ti. After all, she was the one responsible for such an arrangent. The only thing she could do now was to extend her support when it's needed.
"Moyu Jie, don't worry too much! I believe ili would be able to win this year's award. Right, darling?" Tang Beixuan winked at his girlfriend, which only earned a huff from Li ili.
She might be the Black Nightingale, but it didn't an she would easily win the award especially when she was competing against Liu Ruoyan who was more experienced than her.
"Just do your best, ili. It doesn't matter if you win or not, as long as you know you did your best and you have no regrets," Tang Moyu said in return, sensing the uneasiness of her best friend.
Li ili smiled and nodded before giving Tang Moyu a tight hug. No one in this world held such trust and patience in her, except the empress. If anything, she was able to reach what she had right now because of her hard work and Tang Moyu's support.
"I'll do my best, Moyu. I'll make you proud. Give kisses to Baobao and Little Star for , please?" she said before parting with the empress.
"Okay. Okay. Go now." Tang Moyu gave her a slight pat on her shoulder before gesturing to Elaine Wu who was waiting for Li ili. "Give a call once you arrive."
And so Li ili and Elaine Wu bid their goodbyes and pulled their luggage behind them. Tang Beixuan waved a hand at Li ili even though he knew she could not see him.
"I'm surprised you aren't following ili like a lost kid right now," Tang Moyu comnted next to him once the two won were out of their sight.
"Well… ili and I agreed that a little space between us would remove Mother's suspicion of . I kinda had a slip of tongue in front of Zhang Jiren and said that I'm dating ili…"
When he saw his sister's eyes narrowing at him, he couldn't help but be nervous. Tang Moyu had clearly warned him that she wouldn't be able to take his side if Li ili was hard by their 'mother'.
"But Zhang Jiren would never tell Mother. I'm certain about that." He insisted but knew well that Zhang Jiren was an unpredictable man. Although he was their cousin, there were still things they didn't know about him.
Tang Beixuan scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. Indeed. If it was in the past, he would have done his best to follow Li ili, but not this ti. He needed to be strong soon if he wanted to ask for Li ili's hand in marriage. While it's true that the five-year age difference between them might be an issue for others, Tang Beixuan wanted nothing more than to marry the woman of his dreams.
It was better for him to distance himself from Li ili before their mother could get a whiff that he was seeing her at the mont. There was no doubt that Zhang Wuying wouldn't approve of their relationship, and Tang Beixuan didn't want Li ili to get hurt because of him.
"Is that so?" Tang Moyu cupped her chin and frowned. She wasn't sure what their 'mother' was up to these days, and it didn't seem that Zhang Wuying was aware of her son's affairs. Anyway, as long as Zhang Jiren wouldn't sell her brother out, Li ili would be fine for now.
The Tang siblings left the airport with so bodyguards trailing after them. Tang Beixuan had noticed the sudden change in security on his sister and the little buns, but he didn't dare to voice out his thoughts.
"Are you going back to work? Do you need a ride?" His sister asked him once they stepped out of the airport.
"Yes, but you don't need to drop off. Didn't you say you will be eting Big bro today to visit the Feng Estate? You should be careful, Sis. I still don't trust that Feng Tianhua, especially his conniving wife. Who knows what she would do next?" he said in response, worried that Xing Yiyue might plot against his sister again.
Tang Moyu nodded and remained silent. She didn't know why Feng Tianyi suddenly wanted to reclaim his properties as the Master of the Feng family, but she could only support his decision and ignore the fact that she would need to deal with Feng Tianhua and Xing Yiyue so soon.
