Mo Ting stopped talking and focused his gaze in front of him. Meanwhile, Tangning's gaze was focused on the black mole on Mo Ting's earlobe. It was like he was born with an earring, giving him a slightly evil and dangerous aura.
"The way you're looking at me...are you inviting me to kiss you? hug you? or..."
Tangning held in her nervousness. She reached out her hand and grabbed onto Mo Ting's arm trying to avoid his passionate gaze. "Before we go to our new home, could you accompany me somewhere first?"
"After we go, can we finish off what we didn't finish last night? huh?"
Mo Ting was questioning her casually, but Tangning couldn't hide her nervousness because deep down she knew she may not be able to gather the same amount of courage she had the previous night. Mo Ting did not pressure her, nor did he continue to speak. He just allowed her to continue holding onto his arm as he let out a sneaky smile.
The two of them didn't end up heading straight home as per Tangning's request. Instead they ended up at a famous cherry blossom forest. This was a place Tangning had frequently met Han Yufan, for their dates. However, today, she was going to remove him completely from her heart. So, in the end, she finally picked up her phone, "I am at the cherry blossom forest, where we always met on our dates. If you still want to see me, then meet me there...see you there."
"OK, I will come right away." Han Yufan agreed immediately. Even though he was having an affair with Mo Yurou, he never intended on giving up on Tangning. Where was he going to find another woman that was so easy to trick? Plus, all along she had been loyal to him, she had a good family background and she had a good temper.
Tangning hung up and looked over at Mo Ting who was sitting opposite her. With an honest but choked up voice she promised, "This is the last time I will speak to him on the phone regarding our personal feelings. From now on....never again."
Mo Ting lifted his eyebrows. Without a word, he patted the seat beside him, gesturing for Tangning to sit beside him; giving off a sense of possession.
Tangning obediently sat beside him. The two of them looked out the window of the restaurant at the scene below. Not long after, an anxious figure appeared beneath the cherry blossom tree.
Han Yufan had arrived!
So many times in the past had she stood in the same spot Han Yufan was currently standing in, naively waiting all day. 5 out of 10 times she would be stood up. Thinking about it now, the sincerity she had shown was so easily stepped all over, so... ...being stood up, being played around with, being betrayed...she wanted Han Yufan to experience it all.
"Will this really relieve your hatred?" Mo Ting asked with one arm over Tangning's shoulder as he looked at the figure below them.
"Of course not, but I want him to experience everything I went through, no matter big or small!"
Mo Ting reached out his long fingers and grabbed hold of Tangning's chin. Looking into her eyes, he saw a delicate woman, yet, when she was faced with emotional pain, she could deal with things so cleanly; she ended things quickly like she said she would without an ounce of pretense.
"When ordering, I ordered some foie gras. The waiter said it had come directly from France, I thought it would be quite good."
Mo Ting released her from his grasp and let out a surprised smile, "How did you know I like it?"
"It's not hard to find out my husbands preferences." Tangning gestured for the waiter to start serving their dishes, "Let's eat while we chat."
Mo Ting looked at her pink and soft, rose-like thin lips. His gaze revealed a trace of danger, "But...I don't want to chat, I just want to...kiss you!"
