"Why must a person go ruin other's happiness?"
This was the first time since their marriage that Tangning shared her situation at home with Mo Ting. It clarified many of the queries he had. He had wondered for a long time why the Tang Family never once made an appearance even though Tangning had faced so many obstacles. Not only did they not offer help, they did not even speak a word of support.
"Don't dwell on it. Since you've married me, you are now a member of the Mo Family. You are no longer tied to the Tangs," Mo Ting pulled Tangning in and placed kisses from her nose down to her collarbone. This was a speechless but effective form of comfort. "Later, when I take you to meet the Mo Family, I'll help you prepare."
After hearing Tangning's story, Mo Ting finally realized how much Tangning's sense of security was lacking and how serious it was.
It was all because of her complicated family relations...
"OK," Tangning nodded.
As the Tang Family would also be mentioned during the story of her youth, Mo Ting negotiated with the TV studio to directly skip that part of her life and jump straight to the time of her debut, which was a big turning point in her life.
In reality, the TV studio wanted to dig up dirt about the century-old perfume empire, but after their conversation with Mo Ting, they felt it wasn't worth the risk. Actually, if they were to depend solely on the selling point of Tangning and Mo Ting's relationship, it was already enough to guarantee them viewership. So, they had no need to attract trouble.
After the content of the interview was confirmed, the rest of their time was spent on waitingfor Tangning's recovery.
Apart from regular check-ups at the doctor's, with the help of Mo Ting, Tangning was slowly able to do simple exercises that weren't too intense.
Seeing that Tangning was gradually recovering, Mo Ting's confidence towards her appearance on 'Super Interview' increased.
The night before her appearance on 'Super Interview', Tangning was on the phone with Huo Jingjing after she had finished her exercises.
"You will be going on the program tomorrow, is your hip injury any better?"
"Don't worry, making an appearance on a program is a piece of cake," Tangning replied as Mo Ting helped her wipe the sweat from her body.
"Have you heard that Zhen Manni will be returning to China tomorrow?" Huo Jingjing was at home painting her nails and had her phone on loudspeaker, "My relationship with her used to be quite good, but with her international status elevating over the years and the release of her own fashion label, we slowly grew apart. These days, Zhen Manni has been labeled as a 'National Treasure Model'. She is a bargaining chip that President Mo has spent a lot of effort on training in order to suppress Star King."
"Are you trying to tell me there is something going on between her and my husband?" Tangning asked as she looked at Mo Ting.
"From the moment I stepped foot into Hai Rui, you have been the only woman I've seen by President Mo's side," Huo Jingjing replied. "The thing I'm worried about is that Zhen Manni has spent most of her time overseas. It's hard for us to tell whether she is still loyal to Hai Rui. Most importantly, even though she is labeled as a National Treasure, President Mo ended up being your manager."
"Let's just take things as it comes," Tangning did not shun away. After giving a simple reply, she hung up the phone. At this time, Mo Ting grabbed onto her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.
"Is it because I haven't taught you a lesson in a while...so you're stepping out of line?"
Tangning took the opportunity to hook her arm around Mo Ting's sweaty neck and smiled, "Have you never considered being the manager of a National Treasure?"
Mo Ting held Tangning's chin with one hand and squeezed her cheeks, "For me to be their manager, the prerequisite is to sleep with me."
"As long as you're willing, anyone would..."
"However, I only want to sleep with you," Mo Ting cut in before wrapping his arm around her body and drawing her closer to him. The couple were both covered in sweat, but...this was exactly the reason Tangning was consumed in the manly hormonal aura emanating from Mo Ting's body.
She then heard Mo Ting's deep voice, "Can you still use your hip? My dear wife, I've been a monk for the past half a month."
"It hurts..." Tangning whined gently.
