Hearing this, the man finally understood Tangning's importance to Mo Ting. So he stopped joking, "So, it is true love." After speaking, Asa stood up and stretched out his hand in seriousness to shake Tangning's hand, "Sorry, I stepped over the line just then, I thought...Oh, forget it, no matter what, this was all a misunderstanding."
With the entertainment industry being so big and Mo Ting's position at the top of an empire, it was normal for someone like him to be a player. Who would have thought, he'd skip all that and jump directly into marriage?
Tangning leaned into Mo Ting's embrace as she shook the man's hand. She did not speak, she just simply nodded her head.
"But, sister-in-law[i], how come you look so familiar?" Asa glanced over Tangning quickly, he didn't dare to linger for too long. He could clearly differentiate when it was time to play and when it was time to be serious. He also knew this was a woman Mo Ting was willing to risk his life for, so she was definitely someone he needed to show respect to.
"Let's talk business..." Mo Ting pulled out a chair for Tangning as he pushed Asa to get to the point. Tangning wanted to laugh at his childish behavior, but she also felt warm inside.
"The shoot this time took place halfway up a mountain and the incident happened so suddenly, it was hard to determine who was at fault. Ting...of course, I have faith in Hai Rui's actors. Originally, there were no complications, but...the investor behind the production crew for 'Deadly' suddenly decided to pull out his investment, putting the production crew into a panic. That's why they threw the focus onto Hai Rui. It was all my fault, I've caused you to lose two capable actors. This explosion will definitely have a huge impact on their careers."
"Who cares about money? These two people are international actors that Hai Rui has invested 4 years of time on. It's a shame..." Falling from such heights, was like a sunset that came too early; their careers would definitely suffer a loss.
"If it was another company, they would have left the two actors as is. But, things are different because you are the CEO," Asa smiled meaningfully. "I invited you today, to express my standpoint. I will let you call the shots. I no longer have any connections with the film studio."
Mo Ting did not speak, his eyes looked deep in thought.
"I've finally figured out who sister-in-law is...isn't she the Asian model that went viral in the US not too long ago?" Asa suddenly changed the topic as he teased her, "Sister-in-law, since you are a model, you should be pretty busy. Why are you here with Ting? Were you worried he would cheat on you?"
Tangning smiled. She did not have the attitude of an untrusting woman. She simply turned her head to Mo Ting and asked, "Would you dare to do something like that?"
Mo Ting shook his head and replied swiftly, "No, I wouldn't dare."
After hearing their words, Asa was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter, "So the Big Boss also has a time when he is controlled..."
The trio chatted for a little while longer before Asa left due to urgent matters. However, before he left, Mo Ting gave him a word of warning, "My marriage to Tangning, keep it a secret."
"OK!" the man made a signal of agreement with his fingers before he rushed out of the hotel.
After hearing their entire conversation, Tangning felt a little uneasy. Noticing her silence, Mo Ting gripped onto her hand, "What's wrong?"
"I'm used to seeing you sign multiple documents and attending multiple meeting, but only now do I realize, all I see is merely on the surface...Is there anything I can help you with?"
Mo Ting stared into Tangning's eyes and realized she was seriously worried about him, so he explained, "I can't remember how long it's been, I'm already used to it..." "This is how the entertainment industry is like: the more you possess, the more you have to lose. This is why you need to stay by my side forever."
Tangning did not say anything. She simply gripped onto Mo Ting's hand as she pulled him up, "Let's go back to the hotel and have a nice, relaxing bath. Don't you have a tough battle to fight tomorrow?"
After returning to the hotel and having a bath, the couple lay in bed. Tangning originally wanted Mo Ting to rest, but Mo Ting pulled out his laptop to check her emails.
"Can't you focus on just Hai Rui for these two days?"
"An Zihao sent you an email," Mo Ting opened the email and showed it to Tangning. "The revelation from Lan Yu's assistant was his work; he is indeed capable. The things he has planned out for you are the same things I think of as priorities. Disregarding his personal matters and focusing entirely on his abilities, even if he was to work for Hai Rui, he would live up to expectations."
"In that case, I'll accept him," Tangning nodded.
