In regards to Mo Ting and Tangning's relationship...
The majority of the public simply spread rumors, but...no one dared to make a big fuss out of it because Hai Rui's PR made it hard to determine how reliable the information was.
Because of her hip injury, Tangning ended up sleeping straight through the night. By the time she woke up midday the next day, her throat was dry and she couldn't speak. She could only make simple gestures with her hands to express her thoughts.
Mo Ting sat by her bedside with his arms around her as he examined her wounds. She had abrasions and soft tissue injuries which would take at least 15 days to fully recover.
Tangning lay on Mo Ting's body as she tried desperately to absorb his essence; it was like a nutrient she couldn't live without.
Mo Ting gently lowered her head onto his thigh and heart-breakingly brushed her hair out of her face, "Get better soon."
"Did you stay up all night again?" Tangning couldn't sit up, so she remained lying down as she questioned Mo Ting. Her eyelashes gently shook as she spoke.
"I'm not immortal, of course I had some rest," Mo Ting brushed his hand across Tangning'scheek. "Overseas, there is a contest that I've already signed your name up to..."
"What type of contest is it?"
Mo Ting's eyes followed the curves of Tangning body and stopped at her legs, "I'm not sure if you'll still be able to get a ranking. Let's not talk about it for now."
"Has Qin Yu stepped out to confess yet?"
"It appears she won't step out until 11:59pm!" Mo Ting was familiar with the psychology of people like Qin Yu; she wasn't going to easily admit defeat. So, there was no way she'd be willing to accept her fate until the very last minute.
"You deliberately put her through this torment, didn't you?" Tangning giggled as she grabbed Mo Ting's hand and intertwined her fingers with his.
Seeing Tangning in a relaxed mood, Mo Ting showed her a compilation of posts from netizens.
As Tangning flipped through the public's speculations, she suddenly felt a little nervous and confused, "Have they figured out everything?"
"Did you think, with me announcing I'm your manager, they'd still be so stupid?" Mo Ting chuckled. "As long as we don't respond to them, they will never have an answer! Right now, these people are using whatever methods they can to figure out our relationship. But...we'll just keep them guessing."
Mo Ting did not admit nor deny. He simply did what he should as a manager and protected the person he wanted to protect. As for Tangning, her mission was to focus on being a good model and keep working towards her dream runway.
"They will eventually find out..."
"Are you afraid?" Mo Ting asked.
Tangning shook her head. She was a lot more relaxed than when she first saw the speculation from the public, "No...I like the way things are headed. By handling things this way, it is a subtle way of letting the reporters know we are in charge; whether we want to announce our relationship is our decision."
Following on from Mo Ting's announcement as manager, the public's reaction towards their relationship included, those that wanted to dig up secrets, those that felt disdain, those that went around slandering them and, of course, fans that were gushing with girly romantic ideals!
"Oh my girly heart...Tangning is like a little kitty that is baring its teeth and showing its claws whilst being protected by an almighty tiger. They are so cute! I don't care whether they admit to it or not. I am determined to support this coupling..."
"Wow! Tangning's long legs and President Mo's 1.9m figure is the perfect match. I didn't think much of the LM commercial before, but now that I look at it again, it's filled with love..."
"An almighty CEO actually lowered his dignity to become a model's manager. If this isn't love, I don't know what is!"
One of the fans even posted up a photo of Mo Ting stepping out to help Tangning after the awards ceremony and turned it into a manga drawing. The fans died from cuteness after seeing this.
