Tangning thought Huo Jingjing wouldn't pick up the phone, but she actually picked up...
"I am Tangning." Afraid that the man would hang up, Tangning immediately revealed her identity.
"I know." Huo Jingjing's voice was a little raspy; it was obvious she had just cried. But, there was a sense of stubbornness in her voice; it seemed, she had not given up yet.
"In the news …"
"Everything in the news is true." Huo Jingjing acted like she had finally found someone to confide in, "The almighty international supermodel, Huo Jingjing, has a gambler at home. She's even had an abortion 3 times and is always beaten by him."
"I met him when I was 17 and we started dating when we were 18. At that time, I never thought about being a supermodel. But, I wasn't rich and my parents needed money. So, he suggested I become a model and used all his resources to help me find resources."
"In the first few years, we were very happy. Tangning... was even happier than you and President Mo. But, as the industry became more and more tempting, in the end, he couldn't control his lower half and ended up in a relationship with another model."
"But I'm cheap, I can't let him go. However, he always thought that I was the one who got someone to plot against his lover. So, from the day his lover passed away, he never looked me in the eye again … "
"I don't remember how many years it has been …"
"I kept my promise and left half of my income at home. But I know that he always gambled with it and often drank. When he was drunk, he would punch and kick me …"
"How many days did I think it would be better if I just died like this? Everything would end once and for all. Until I met my current manager. He discovered me and Hai Rui accepted and nurtured me..."
"In fact, I once thought that I would work like a slave for President Mo for the rest of my life. But, I never expected that things would still be exposed one day. I've worked so hard to keep it a secret."
As Tangning listened to Huo Jingjing recount her experience, she could imagine how much love a woman would have for her man despite having reached such a high position.
"You've already done very well."
"He was the one who exposed the news to the media. Because I refused to pay him, he actually sold the news to Imperial Star …"
B * tch!
Tangning cursed in her heart.
He was even worse than Han Yufan.
"I'm done. I feel much better now."
Tangning didn't know why Huo Jingjing trusted her so much. Perhaps, it was because they had both been through a lot of bad things, so they felt a sense of empathy.
"I will announce my withdrawal from Hai Rui. I don't want to implicate my family, especially you. I know it wasn't easy for you to get to where you are today, but rumors are already flying everywhere... I..."
"Jingjing, since Hai Rui is your home, you have no reason to leave!" "I'm sure you've already gotten used to this life. Perhaps you are tired and fed up, but listen to me. If I can meet Mo Ting, you can also meet someone that truly treats you well."
"Hold on a little longer …"
"Hold on a little longer!"
Huo Jingjing didn't answer. She only smiled bitterly and hung up the phone.
Tangning put down her phone. As she thought about Huo Jingjing's situation, her body trembled. The industry made her feel afraid and the uncertainty of the human heart made her panic.
After Mo Ting finished his meeting, he saw Tangning's pale face. He reached out his hand to support her. Realizing her hands were also cold, he immediately carried her onto the bed, "What's wrong?"
Tangning hugged onto Mo Ting's arm in a daze, "The person that betrayed Huo Jingjing is the man she has loved for many years."
Mo Ting immediately understood Tangning's fear. He reached out his hand, cupped her cheeks and began to kiss her.
Tangning could feel Mo Ting's breath. She closed her eyes and kissed him until her body began to heat up. Only then did she pull away from Mo Ting's lips.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Much better," Tangning nodded her head.
The two women looked at each other. Mo Ting didn't need her to say anything to understand what she meant. Hai Rui was definitely going to get back at Star King. Most importantly, they were going to make sure the traitors got what they deserved. Otherwise, what hope did the world have?
What else was there to give someone the courage to live again?
Tangning calmed herself down and pushed Mo Ting, "Go back to work. I'm fine."
Mo Ting did not say a word. He simply pulled Tangning up and into the study room to continue with his work. However, he wanted Tangning to be within his line of sight the entire time.
Tangning watched as Mo Ting worked seriously and thought everything out perfectly. Wasn't this how the man she admired should be like?
After work was over, Tangning wanted to return to her room. But, Mo Ting carried her in the shower and lay in bed with her.
Tangning could feel Mo Ting hugging her from behind. She couldn't help but laugh, "Didn't you say during work, everything will go according to the contract?"
"Yes, but I am the CEO."
"Does that mean the CEO can cheat?" Tangning turned around and continued to laugh as she lay on top of Mo Ting's body.
"For you, there's nothing I can't do," Mo Ting said after a moment of silence.
This one sentence clearly resounded from above Tangning's head, causing her body to freeze in surprise.
"I know you're afraid of losing me. But, I'm more afraid of losing you."
Tangning suddenly let out a gentle laugh. Mo Ting understood the fear in her heart. It turned out, she wasn't the only one that was afraid. Mo Ting was also afraid... afraid.
"So, why must I be your manager..."
"It's always been because of you..."
"Only because of you."
Tangning's heart was suddenly filled with confidence. This was Mo Ting's love. So, she was no longer influenced by Huo Jingjing. She simply believed in the feelings in her heart.
This man was right. This man was worthy of her love.
"I still have one more day of work. After I'm done, we can return to China together. Ting... promise me, you won't let Star King and that man get away with it."
Mo Ting did not say a word. He simply responded with his actions as he flipped over and pressed Tangning under his body.
Tangning was moved as she hooked her arms around his neck. The couple had a tacit understanding when it came to this. Even a simple action was enough to understand each other's desires.
However, in the heat of the moment, Tangning couldn't help but bite Mo Ting's shoulder...
It was as if she wanted to leave a permanent mark on his body, a mark that belonged solely to her. This was exclusive to Tangning, and no one should even think about touching it!
