After leaving Cheng Tian, Tangning did not directly return home. She originally wanted to go to Hai Rui to see Mo Ting. But, as she arrived downstairs, Lu Che told her over the phone that Mo Ting wasn't at the office.
Tangning parked her car in the garage but did not leave immediately. She thought about the conflict between her and Lan Xi and had a complicated look in her eyes.
Not long after, Long Jie suddenly patted Tangning on the arm and pointed out the car window. Tangning followed Long Jie's line of sight and realized the people in the garage were Mo Ting and Lu Che.
"Lu Che, didn't you say Big Boss wasn't at the office?" Long Jie asked anxiously as she looked at Tangning's expression. After the incident with Han Yufan, Long Jie was afraid Tangning would get hurt again. She especially didn't like it when Tangning was lied to.
Tangning watched as Mo Ting and Lu Che left without much change in expression. She simply looked at Long Jie and felt she was making a big deal out of nothing, "You're overthinking things."
"Aren't you afraid at all?"
Tangning did not say anything. She simply pulled out her phone and gave Mo Ting a call. As soon as Mo Ting picked up, she asked, "Where were you just now?"
"Were you checking on me?" Mo Ting's lips curved upwards after hearing Tangning's question.
"In that case, do you want me to check on you?"
"I was at the office just now. I'm heading out to meet a business partner," Mo Ting replied gently.
"A moment ago, Lu Che said you weren't at the office."
Mo Ting lifted his head and looked at Lu Che who was driving with a sharp gaze. He then replied, "I didn't order you to do that. Are you still at Hai Rui?"
"Uh huh," Tangning's voice sounded a little pitiful.
"In that case, I'll turn around and pick you up. I'll let you vent some of your anger on Lu Che."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Ting placed his phone in his pocket and glared at Lu Che, "Should I reevaluate your abilities? Lu Che? I'm going to say this one last time, don't lie to Tangning, even if it's something as simple as whether I'm around or not. If Tangning hadn't called me and kept this question to herself, over time, how do you think our relationship as a married couple would have gone? "
Lu Che felt a little guilty as he quickly apologized, "Sorry President, I simply didn't know what excuse I could come up with to stop the madam."
"I didn't ask you to come up with an excuse to brush her off. As long as you don't say anything, she won't notice."
"I understand."
Lu Che was indeed outstanding at work, but sometimes his EQ wasn't there. This was the main reason why he still didn't have a girlfriend!
Mo Ting gestured for Lu Che to turn around and successfully picked up Tangning. He then pulled her into his embrace and said, "I never told Lu Che to say I wasn't around."
"I know," Tangning nodded. "Otherwise, do you think I should trust him more?"
Lu Che lowered his head in guilt...
Mo Ting stroked Tangning's hair in satisfaction as he replied, "Of course you trust me more. But, it's already been 20 minutes since you called Lu Che and he still hasn't left the car park. Did something happen?"
Tangning froze for a moment; she didn't expect Mo Ting to be so attentive. So, she explained everything that happened at Cheng Tian from start to finish, "The reason I haven't left is because I'm thinking about the huge conflict between Lan Xi and myself. If this continues, we will definitely fall out. The incident with Ling Feng is just the beginning. Plus, Luo Hao and Li Danni are also involved."
Mo Ting listened quietly. Right now, his identity was that of a husband listening to his wife's worries. He then reached out his hand to comfort her and give her courage, "Ning... you seem to have forgotten, your ultimate goal is Star King. Cheng Tian's purpose is simply to help you make the transition."
"When it comes to people that want to hurt you, don't feel guilty fighting back. You've always known this."
"We still have Cheng Tian's contract in our hands. If we can't avoid bad relations, then we can only do business."
"Don't tell me, with me behind your back, you're still afraid?"
Tangning rubbed against Mo Ting's palm and shook her head, "I'm not afraid, I just feel bad for Lan Xi. Someone that was once on the same side... can change so quickly."
"As you know, Lan Xi used to be a businesswoman. On the surface, what she wants and what you want may seem the same, but in reality, they are worlds apart. You see her as an equal friend, while she sees you as a subordinate."
"I understand!" Tangning confirmed her stance. Next time, if Lan Xi came up with another problem to make things difficult for her, then... she would no longer be polite to her. After all, if the person that made things difficult for her didn't feel guilty, then why should she feel bad?
"Don't worry, just wait to film LM," Mo Ting's words had a double meaning. However, Tangning only understood one part of it.
...
8pm, at a luxurious 5-star hotel. In order to deal with Ling Feng, An Zihao arrived at the private room half an hour early. So, by the time the other party arrived, all they saw was An Zihao.
Ling Feng was born as a child star and was currently the most popular handsome little fresh meat. With his outstanding looks, he attracted a large number of fans. He even starred in a few dramas that were being broadcasted. So, it was understandable that Lan Xi wanted to use him to create hype.
However...
Seeing Tangning hadn't arrived, Ling Feng immediately removed his sunglasses and said something to his assistant. Immediately, his assistant asked An Zihao, "Where's Tangning?"
An Zihao looked at the man and pulled out a glass of wine, filling it to the brim, "Tangning just returned from Moscow today. She's a little airsick and threw up on the way here. In the end, I had no choice but to send her home. I'm sorry Ling Feng, I'll punish myself with three glasses."
After hearing this, the man's expression did not look too good. His manager even slammed the table, "What does Tangning mean by this?"
"Ling Feng, it's not that Tangning doesn't want to come. She was just saying she often watches your dramas and really likes you. That's why she asked me to take her out early to see you. Who would have thought, she almost fainted on the way here..." An Zihao said with a mixture of truth and lies as he downed the three glasses in one gulp.
"Did she really say that?" Ling Feng's vanity was satisfied and his anger lessened.
"Absolutely!"
"Well, since that's the case, I won't blame her. Say hello to her for me and tell her that I'm looking forward to the commercial shooting in two days." After Ling Feng finished speaking, he stood up and put his sunglasses back on his face.
Seeing Ling Feng leave, An Zihao revealed a cold expression. He knew, at this moment, he could only put up a front.
"Ling Feng, are you really going to let that little model off the hook?" Ling Feng's manager asked with a hint of pity.
Ling Feng chewed on a piece of gum and gave off a devilish aura. With a personality unique to his age, he replied, "That old model actually dared to stand me up? Fine, if she doesn't show up today, then I won't show up during the shoot either. Let her worry about it... "
"Let's see where she can find a male lead!"
