251 What’s There to Talk About? 3
It was sort of a mutual agreement between them, which was why Li Meili didn't question her about Feng Tianyi ever since they started dating over two months ago. Words weren't needed between them as they understood each other better than anyone else.
"I just haven't found the right person. Or maybe I already know who he is, but I just overlooked the possibility of us being together." Li Meili said with a faraway look on her face, as if she was thinking about someone at that moment.
Tang Moyu didn't push anymore questions, seeing that her best friend wasn't ready to reveal what was truly in her heart.?They continued to eat and talk about Gu Yuyao's upcoming wedding with He Lianchen. There were only two months left before the two tied the knot and Li Meili was rushing the bride's dress as well as the bridesmaids'.
"I still think you need to drop by my boutique to get measurements. Bring Mr. Qin and your little buns with you. My schedule is really full now, I can't even accompany Qian for her prenatal check ups."
Not that Lin Qianrou always sought her company, but Li Meili knew how Qian could overthink when things didn't turn out the way she expected it to be. Xu Wenyang better make sure he was taking good care of his wife or else, Li Meili would drop everything at work just to give him a good beating.
"I'll ask Tianyi if he's going to be free this weekend." Considering the amount of work Feng Tianyi had on his hands as he looked after Xiao Xing Diamond Co. right now, Tang Moyu wouldn't be surprised if he wouldn't be able to come with her little buns.
"Ah, that's fine. As long as he would be able to find a suitable outfit for the event, it should be fine." Li Meili hummed as she waited for the desserts to be served. "One less job for me."
There's a reason why she liked eating here of all the restaurants owned by her family. Not only did the place hold their patrons' privacy with great importance, the desserts they serve here were really up to her and Moyu's liking as well.
It also gives her the leeway to eat anything for free since she was the young miss of the Li family. Still, Tang Moyu would be sure to pay their bill and leave tips. Business is business. If one wants to support the business of their friend, one should be kind enough to pay for the services and products instead of asking them for free.
"By the way, what's with your brother? Still trying to avoid him?" Tang Moyu asked.
Li Meili pursed her lips and huffed.
"No idea. I thought he's still sulking about Meng Yanran."
"Wait. Isn't that Qian's cousin? They are acquainted with each other?" She couldn't believe how small the world was for her right now. Or was it because Li Meili was a true socialite that she was able to know or recognize the other women within the circle?
"En, that's the same Meng Yanran that Xu Wenyang almost got married to." Li Meili swished her spoon in the air for emphasis before rolling her eyes. "My poor big brother. He's head over heels for her."
The empress blinked at that. Wow, that's something she hadn't expected. Who would have thought that Li Meili's brother was after Lin Qianrou's cousin. Tang Moyu suddenly felt that she'd been out of touch with the lives of the people around her ever since she joined Feng Conglomerates. Even if she knew Li Yuanyi since she was young, their meetings and interactions could be counted with her fingers alone.
Meng Yanran, huh. Well, if Ye Xiaozu was aware of Li Yuanyi's dilemma over Lin Qianrou's cousin, perhaps he could take advantage of it. Alas, the empress knew that personal favors to earn an approval for a venture was never ideal.
A good businessman should know where to draw the line and Tang Moyu rarely used this method to gain advantage, unless it was truly needed.
"Still, I don't like being chased around, Meili. Feng Tianyi might even misunderstand why your brother is chasing me through Ye Xiaozu. At least give him a call and ask what he wants from you. He's your only sibling after all." Tang Moyu suggested as she devoured the chocolate mousse cake in front of her eagerly.
She understood how important it was for the siblings to get along. Although she wasn't blood related to either Tang Wanyu or Tang Beixuan, the empress tried to become a decent sibling that they could depend on when they were in a dire situation.
She also wanted her twins to look after each other when they grew up. Tang Moyu tried her best to give her little buns equal amounts of love and attention, which was almost impossible.
The Li family was against Li Meili's choice to pursue her dream of fashion design instead of joining their family business. If it wasn't for Tang Moyu's investment, Li Meili didn't think there would be a Black Nightingale or if she would be able to reach where she was now.
As for her brother, Li Yuanyi was the one who volunteered to cover up for her, but there were times when Li Meili couldn't help but be irritated whenever her family tried to summon her back for a visit. It must be really hard for her elder brother to pacify those old farts. She could only sigh inwardly.
