Tangning's eyes fired up. She did not respond.
An Zihao had a mixed expression but nodded anyway, "I will do what I should do..."
"Tangning, I won't force you, but, think about it carefully..."
"No need to think. If we get exposed, I will take full responsibility. We are...inseparable," Tangning responded in a serious tone. Her voice was firm and did not contain a trace of doubt.
Lan Xi looked at Tangning thoughtfully and smiled, "Then let's not worry about it anymore. By the way, have you guys seen the news about Hai Rui?" Lan Xi poured them each a glass of red wine, "Two international superstars is a huge loss for Hai Rui."
Hearing the words 'Hai Rui', Tangning's expression became sad. All she could do was clink wine glasses with Lan Xi, but she did not say a word.
"Tangning, in all honesty, have you ever considered joining Hai Rui?"
Long Jie wanted to laugh as she stood to the side, but she didn't dare. As if Tangning needs to go to Hai Rui! She is already the wife of Hai Rui's CEO and owns half of Mo Ting's shares. "Hai Rui is not a place that I can go to, just because I want to..." Tangning was aware of how strict Mo Ting managed his business. A model like herself was common; she wasn't even worthy of mentioning.
"I've always wanted to go to Hai Rui...I want to...try out the role of the CEO's wife," Lan Xi laughed. In reality, her words were 30% joke and 70% truth. It was just that, Mo Ting was too hard to get close to; he never gave any woman a chance.
But, of course, they had no chance...
His wife was currently sitting right opposite Lan Xi.
Tangning glanced at Long Jie, gesturing her not to reveal any emotions. Long Jie was annoyed as she stuck her tongue at her.
After their meeting with Lan Xi, An Zihao obediently escorted Tangning home, "Where do you live?"
"Hyatt Regency," Tangning replied. Seeing An Zihao start up the car, she reiterated, "Don't forget what you promised me: You will not interfere with my private life."
"You don't need to put your guard up..." An Zihao replied helplessly. "Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. Luo Hao and Yang Jing, on the other hand, aren't easy to deal with, so I will need some time to prepare."
"Those two have set up so many traps for our Tangning. Luckily, they haven't succeeded once," Long Jie exclaimed. "Do they think Tangning is easy to bully?
This was exactly the reason An Zihao admired Tangning. Even when surrounded by Yang Jing and Luo Hao, she was not suppressed. Instead, her popularity continued to rise.
"They owe me quite a lot..."
Tangning had heard about An Zihao's relationship with Yun Xin and was aware that he used to be close friends with Yang Jing. However, whatever happened between them, only they knew.
"Prepare yourself well for the Contract Signing Ceremony."
Tangning was the protagonist, so of course, she had to be well-prepared. Yang Jing had previously caused a commotion, so she wasn't going to let her get her way this time. As for Luo Hao...
...after what he did at the charity event and all the schemes he set up against her, she wasn't going to let him off easily.
After returning home and looking at the empty living room, Tangning was tempted to give Mo Ting a phone call. But realizing it was 2am in the US, she didn't want to disturb him. In the end, Mo Ting sent her a message first, "Are you home yet?"
Tangning's heart lit up as she replied quickly, "Did Long Jie tell you?"
"I was worried, so I made Long Jie report every little detail." Tangning smiled as she held onto her phone and called Mo Ting, "I saw the news about Hai Rui, have you made any progress?"
