Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 109

The guests of the charity event were categorized into industries and all the entertainment industry guests were to be seated in the second row.

Mo Ting's seat was the first one on the left. Next to him sat a pianist, followed by Tangning. Out of all the seats around him, Tangning was the closest female.

Tangning looked past the pianist at Mo Ting's seat, he had not arrived yet. She glanced to the right of her, it was Lan Xi's seat.

From the moment Luo Hao and Lan Xi entered the venue, they had no idea Tangning would end up sitting next to Lan Xi. Luo Hao's first reaction was to suggest Lan Xi swap seats with him so he could block off Tangning. But, if they were to really swap seats, Lan Xi would end up sitting next to Father Five...

...and he had previously told Lan Xi that Tangning was joining Creative Century. If it came up in conversation between Lan Xi and Father Five, then she would find out he had intentionally prevented Tangning from joining Cheng Tian. But, that was the less of two evils, so he still ended up swapping seats with Lan Xi.

Normally, he should not have felt guilty after what he had done; it was already in the past. But, this was Tangning...

Luo Hao sneaked a glance at Tangning; this was the first time he was so close to her, but he could already feel that she was harder to predict than Lan Xi. Her expression didn't reveal anything and her actions were impossible to see through. She must have suffered too much in this industry, that's why she was so cautious.

She was exceptionally quiet, like she stood aloof from the world. However, Luo Hao knew, the first rule for someone with a high EQwas to have control over their emotions.

Tangning undoubtedly had this down pat.

Not long after, there came a commotion of chatter and screams. Mo Ting had just entered and he naturally drew the attention of all the women in the hall. He was indifferent to the people around him as he walked straight to his seat. It wasn't until he passed by Tangning that he slowed down and brushed the back of his hand against hers.

Tangning allowed him without a sound as she avoided eye contact. There was no doubt her heart began to race.

But immediately she laughed at how silly she was inside. This was obviously her husband; all he did was make a little bit of physical contact with her, yet she felt like she had won a big prize. She felt like she was floating in the clouds.

After all, there were so many eyes on him... Afterwards, Mo Ting sat down at his seat.

Lan Xi turned her head to glance at Mo Ting, but was unexpectedly discovered by him. In order to cover up her panic, she immediately patted Tangning on the arm and pretended to greet her.

Luo Hao, who was sitting between the two women, fell into a panic upon seeing Lan Xi's actions. One definitely should not lie or else they would be tormented by their guilty conscience.

Tangning turned to look at Lan Xi as a smile appeared across her face, "President Lan, how are you?"

"Last time at the awards ceremony, I already noticed you. It's a shame we weren't fated to work together. I feel regretful about it, but...I still wish you all the best."

After hearing Lan Xi's words, Tangning had a lost expression. Just as she was about to question Lan Xi, Luo Hao spoke up between them, "President Lan, let's chat later, the event is about to start."

Tangning lifted her head to look at the man that was speaking. She didn't know why she felt like he was trying to hide something. A moment later, she remembered the anonymous warning she had received from someone at Cheng Tian.

His way of talking was very similar, but it seemed, at this moment, he was trying really hard to conceal something.

Whether he was a foe or friend, it was yet to be determined...

Tangning decided not to explain herself to Lan Xi. Instead, a gentle smile appeared across her face as she turned to look at the stage; the host had already started.

Luo Hao breathed a sigh of relief. If Tangning revealed on the spot that she never received an offer from Cheng Tian, it would be really hard for him to explain himself. So, he had to think of a way to pull Tangning aside.
