The thing Tangning hated the most, was when Long Jie looked down on herself. It seemed, those that appeared optimistic, were generally weaker on the inside. In front of everyone, they would laugh happily and joke around, but once it hit night and they were all alone, they would find a place to hide and soothe their own wounds.
"Let's go..." Long Jie reminded Tangning.
Tangning glanced quickly at Long Jie before boarding the company van.
Lu Che was like a block of wood with no sense of awareness. Pretty much, in his mind, the only reason he treated Long Jie nicely was simply because Long Jie was also nice to him.
"Right now, everyone in Beijing knows that you are Lu Che's fiancee. You already have an advantage, don't waste it."
Long Jie glared at Tangning as she covered her ears. Tangning's words were like feathers tickling at her heart.
She couldn't let her thoughts wander, it was making her heart a mess...
...
That evening. An unexpected snow fell upon Beijing.
Tangning stood beside the floor-to-ceiling window as she looked out at the snowy landscape. Behind her, the TV was broadcasting news about Luo Hao being taken to the police station for questioning.
Tangning turned around and casually glanced at the news. As she watched Luo Hao exit Cheng Tian helplessly, she felt that the suffering she had previously gone through had now completely dissipated.
Lan Xi followed behind as she escorted Luo Hao out. But, at this point, with Cheng Tian falling apart, her expression was equally pale.
After glancing at the news briefly, Tangning lifted the remote and turned off the TV; she already knew Lan Xi and Luo Hao's fate.
The two once-so-great people had now become a laughing stock in the entertainment industry. Especially after having their names mentioned by Hai Rui, overnight they had taken a fall from which they'd never be able to recover from.
Not long after, Mo Ting returned home covered in snow. But, his palms were warm.
He removed his jacket and approached Tangning from behind to give her a hug, "What are you thinking about? You look deep in thought."
"I'm thinking about the future," Tangning turned around and buried herself in Mo Ting's embrace, "Two months from now, let's announce our relationship."
"Are you sure?" Mo Ting smiled as he hugged her.
"Uh huh. You're too amazing, I'm afraid someone will snatch you away. So I have to lay my claim."
Mo Ting did not respond. He simply lifted her up so her legs could wrap around his waist and took a few steps towards the sofa. He then lay her down and pressed his body against hers as he gave her a passionate kiss.
If that was the case, then there was still a lot they had to deal with...
After the slight distraction, Tangning lay on Mo Ting's chest as she asked, "Ting...do you think Lu Che would be interested in someone like Long Jie?"
"I'm afraid even Lu Che wouldn't be able to tell you."
After thinking for a moment, Tangning realized Mo Ting's response was reasonable. After all, Lu Che's EQ was indeed that low.
"However, Lu Che took the afternoon off because he had caught the flu."
"How about we call Long Jie to go and check on him?"
Mo Ting naturally handed his phone to Tangning before gesturing that he still had work to do in the study room. Tangning nodded her head assuring him that she would prepare dinner. However, before he got far, Tangning stopped him in his step, "I heard my manager is currently in Italy. Who is it?"
"You will find out when the time comes."
Tangning did not ask further. She held onto the phone as she walked over to the window and immediately gave Long Jie a phone call.
