In reality, the seating arrangements for the charity gala were divided by industry. As for the people from the entertainment industry, they were arranged to sit in the second row.
Mo Ting's seat was the first one on the left. Between them was a pianist, followed by Tangning. Looking around, Tangning was the only woman closest to him and the only one close to him.
Tangning looked past the pianist and towards Mo Ting's seat. He was still on his way and on Tangning's right was Lan Xi's name.
When Luo Hao and Lan Xi entered the venue, he obviously didn't expect Tangning to be sitting right next to Lan Xi. So, he subconsciously suggested swapping seats with Lan Xi, trying to stand between them. But, if he really swapped seats, the person next to Lan Xi would be Father Five...
At the time, he had already told Lan Xi that Tangning was ready to sign a contract with Creative Entertainment. If Lan Xi and Father Five were to exchange pleasantries, she would know he was trying to stop Tangning from entering Cheng Tian. But, choosing the lesser of two evils, Luo Hao still swapped seats with Lan Xi.
In reality, if you wanted to stop someone that couldn't be helped, it was fine after playing with your schemes; there was no need to feel guilty. But, Tangning...
Luo Hao snuck a glance at Tangning. This was the first time he had been so close to her, but he felt she was even more difficult to read than Lan Xi. Her facial expression was flawless and her mannerisms made it impossible to see through her. It seemed, she was afraid of being hurt in this industry, that's why she was so careful and cautious.
She was too quiet and appeared aloof from the world. But, Luo Hao was well aware that for someone with a high EQ, they had to know how to manage their emotions.
In this aspect, Tangning was undoubtedly doing a great job.
Not long after, the Charity Gala was filled with noise and screams. As Mo Ting entered the venue, he naturally attracted the attention of a group of girls. However, he was cold towards everyone around him as he quickly made his way to his seat. It was only when he walked past Tangning that he slowed down and brushed the back of his hand against hers.
Tangning did not say a word nor did she deliberately look at him. However, her heart raced; there was no doubt about it.
But, she immediately laughed at herself for being silly. He was obviously her husband, yet she felt like she had just won the lottery. She still felt like she was floating in the air and was in a dream. But, he was obviously her husband.
After all, there were so many eyes looking at him...
Afterwards, Mo Ting sat down in front of everyone.
Lan Xi turned her head and glanced at Mo Ting. Who would have thought Mo Ting would notice. In order to hide her panic, Lan Xi immediately patted Tangning on the arm and pretended to greet her.
Seeing Lan Xi like this, Luo Hao, who had been passed by, started to panic. As expected, he couldn't lie, otherwise, he would really have a guilty conscience.
Tangning turned to look at Lan Xi and smiled, "President Lan, nice to meet you."
"Last time at the awards ceremony, I already noticed you. Unfortunately, we weren't fated to be together. Although I feel regretful, I still wish you the best."
Just as she was about to ask, Luo Hao, who was sandwiched between the two of them, immediately said, "President Lan, let's talk in a bit. It's about to start."
Tangning lifted her head and glanced at the man. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling he was trying to hide something. Afterwards, she thought back to the anonymous email Cheng Tian had sent her to warn her about being hacked.
That tone was very similar to this man, but at this moment, he was clearly trying to stop something.
Whether he was a friend or foe, it was hard to determine...
So, Tangning did not explain to Lan Xi. She simply smiled and turned her gaze back to the stage. The host had already started speaking.
Luo Hao let out a sigh of relief. If Tangning exposed him and said she didn't receive an invitation from Cheng Tian, it would be hard for him to get out of this situation. So, he needed to think of a way to get Tangning to leave.
Not long after, the auction began. Tangning watched as Mo Ting raised his paddle multiple times. She understood, as the number one person in the entertainment industry, he had a mission and responsibility to fulfill.
Luo Hao's gaze remained on Tangning. He really wanted to know what she was thinking at this moment. But, no matter what she was thinking, he had to get rid of her to prevent an even more uncontrollable situation from happening.
So, he pretended to knock over the bottle of water that the staff had prepared and pointed it at Tangning. As a result, a large amount of water splashed onto Tangning's white dress.
Tangning felt a chill as the area below her knees was instantly drenched by the cold water...
Most importantly, a chiffon dress like this, as soon as it was wet, would reveal her skin; it was extremely indecent.
"Sorry... Miss Tangning, I've soaked your dress..." Luo Hao immediately apologized.
Tangning knew Luo Hao did this on purpose, but, she did not get angry. She simply shook her head, "It's fine."
However, it was already October and Tangning was wearing thin clothes. Coupled with the fact that her dress was wet from the cold water, she couldn't help but shiver a little as she subconsciously rubbed her arms. At this time, the pianist on the left nudged her on the shoulder and handed her a black jacket...
Tangning glanced at the jacket and immediately looked at Mo Ting.
She realized he was only wearing a white shirt and the jacket was in the hands of the pianist.
He did not hand it over himself to avoid arousing suspicion. As Tangning received the jacket, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
Soon, looks of envy from all around her...
That was Mo Ting's jacket...
So many people wanted to touch it but never had the chance!
Yet, at this moment, it was in Tangning's arms.
As expected, only her husband knew how to dote on her.
Tangning hugged the jacket and placed it on her lap. She then sent a message to Long Jie who was waiting outside, reminding her to buy a new dress so she could change into it later.
Luo Hao looked at Tangning holding onto Mo Ting's jacket and felt he had gone a little overboard. Just a moment ago, he had wanted to take off his jacket, but at the same time, he wanted to force Tangning to leave.
Luckily, Tangning did not try to strike up a conversation with Lan Xi. Luo Hao let out a sigh of relief, but he was also a little disappointed. Logically speaking, Tangning shouldn't have wasted her time like this...
Not long after, the Charity Dinner came to an end. Lan Xi went to the bathroom and Tangning finally took the opportunity to speak to Luo Hao, "You can stop me this time, but can you stop me forever?"
Luo Hao was stunned; he didn't expect Tangning to be so direct.
"I feel you and Yang Jing are different."
Luo Hao was stunned for a few seconds before he decided to tell Tangning the truth, "Previously, President Lan did ask me to contact you and sign you on, but I didn't follow her instructions. The reason I did it tonight wasn't because I was afraid of being exposed, it was because... I didn't want to do it in such an embarrassing situation."
"I don't want to explain why I did it, but, even if it wasn't me, it would have been someone else. You have blocked too many people's paths."
