Tangning looked deep into the eyes of the man as she returned to her usual calmness and smiled, "I don't have a boyfriend."
All she had was a husband!
Seeing Tangning in denial, the man did not continue to be forceful. But the glow in his eyes made Tangning feel uneasy. She had a feeling, this man would keep his eye on her in the future.
"The Lan Yu incident has caused such an uproar, but it seems, Miss Tang is not affected at all."
Tangning smiled, it was obvious she no longer wanted to engage in small talk. This was something she often did when she wanted to keep a distance with people. The man seemed to have sensed her intention, so he stopped talking and returned to his seat.
Tangning assumed the man had not seen Mo Ting's face, or else his tone of voice would not be like this; there was no way he wouldn't know the consequences of offending Hai Rui.
The reporter sat diagonally from Tangning. Before placing his eye mask on, he glanced over at her with a mocking smile. Although he did not see the man clearly...he knew when Tangning said she had no boyfriend, things weren't that simple.
All along, it was hard to find anything bad about Tangning because she was extremely careful. But, if someone was to uncover something, it would definitely be big news. So, he was determined to follow her. This time...he was certainly lucky.
Here she was acting all morally intact, yet in the end, she was messing around with a man!
Tangning felt uneasy. After disembarking from the plane, she immediately sent a message to Mo Ting, "Ting, we have been discovered...At the airport, a reporter saw me getting out of your car. I'm not sure how much he saw, but he doesn't seem to be a trustworthy person."
Mo Ting had just stepped out of the bathroom. Seeing Tangning's message, he creased his eyebrows, "Focus on your contract signing. I will handle the matter."
"When will you be back?"
"I'm not sure yet."
Seeing these four words, Tangning was tempted to respond with 'I miss you', but she was afraid it would distract him from his work. So, she quickly changed her response to 'I'll wait for you'.
After picking her up, Long Jie noticed Tangning looked a bit unhappy. She could guess it was because she had to separate from Mo Ting, "I saw the news about Hai Rui, is Big Boss OK?"
"Uh huh," Tangning nodded. Long Jie examined the look on Tangning's face through the rear-view mirror as she drove. She spoke with mixed feelings, "Tangning, have you noticed you've fallen too deep? Even when you were with Han Yufan, you weren't this distracted. Most importantly, you're only separated from Big Boss for a few days, it's not the end of the world."
Tangning was a little startled as she nodded her head and admitted, "I think...I'm in love with Mo Ting."
"He's your husband, it is your right to love him. But, what about him? How does Big Boss feel?" Long Jie observed Tangning's expression; even with Mo Ting's pampering, Tangning still lacked a sense of security. "You and Big Boss have not been together for long and have not gone through enough together. But,
Tangning, you should ask yourself...if Big Boss did the same thing as Han Yufan and betrayed you...would you be able to handle it?"
Tangning was silent for a good while. Thinking about the time she had spent with Mo Ting, she regained her confidence, "I am no longer the same Tangning. There is no way I wouldn't be able to spot a second Han Yufan; I believe in my choice this time. No matter what, I will be with him to the end. By the way Long Jie, you should make preparations. When Mo Ting took me to the airport we were discovered by a reporter."
"What do you want to do?" Long Jie was so shocked she instinctively stepped on the brakes.
"Even if my relationship with Mo Ting was to be exposed, I want it to be under my control. Let's just observe for now..." Tangning replied in a serious tone.
"In that case, let's get ready for Cheng Tian's Contract Signing Ceremony. I'll take you to see President Lan."
