After returning home, it was already 3am the next day. As she pushed open the bedroom door, Tangning was greeted with a floor covered in rose petals. She was a bit surprised. A moment later, Mo Ting approached from behind and wrapped her in a hug.
"Do you like it?"
Looking down at the candles on the floor and then up at the present sitting on top of the bedside table, Tangning nodded her head, "I haven't been home in a while and the hotel bed has been hard and lonely."
Mo Ting carried Tangning in his arms and placed her on top of the bed. He pressed his body on top of hers as his deep and sexy voice resounded in her ear, "Madam, it's bad for a man to resist his desires for so long. You need to make up for it."
Tangning giggled as she lifted her head and pressed her lips against Mo Ting's...
The passionate fire in the room was lit.
Perhaps it was because of the fragrance in the room, or perhaps it was because they hadn't been alone together for a long time, the couple's entangled bodies moved together intensely. Afterwards, they hugged each other for quite some time, unable to calm down.
"Give me your right hand."
"Huh?" Tangning lifted her hand curiously.
Mo Ting let go of Tangning and turned around to grab the box sitting on top of the bedside table. He then pulled out a pair of gold bracelets from the box.
"This is the last remaining set designed by the international jewelry designer, Lisa. There is only one set in the entire world. The design isn't extremely special, but it has a lovely meaning: 'Together Forever'. This was originally a present from Lisa to her husband. It was auctioned off in London and eventually ended up in my hands. I am now giving it to you."
This was created by Lisa in her later years. At that time, she was already old and had bad eyesight, so she could no longer create extremely detailed pieces. As a result, apart from making the bracelets resemble vines, she didn't do anything else to them.
"They're beautiful," Tangning cheered. She imagined how vines intertwined with each other and did not separate.
Mo Ting helped Tangning put on the bracelet and then Tangning helped Mo Ting put on the matching one. Afterwards, the couple clasped their hands, leaned on each other and chatted the night away.
"At the end of this year, I will take you to meet my grandfather."
"Why at the end of this year?"
"Weren't you thinking of having kids at the end of the year?" Mo Ting smiled. Let's finish filming and get everything in order. By the end of the year, when your career is steady and you take home some awards, we can go home and present my grandfather with news of a child. He will be extra happy."
"Did Yanshu tell you what I was thinking?" Tangning asked suspiciously, "And why can't me meet him now?"
"I don't want my family to hassle you about having a child and make things difficult for you. Would you be willing to have them pester you every 2-3 days about quitting your job? Since we are already on this path, I will walk with you until the end..."
In reality, Tangning had indeed worried about this before. If they went to meet with the Mo Family and they didn't like what she was currently doing, what would she do?
Mo Ting knew it was likely that she would give up everything for his sake.
But, in his heart, fulfilling her dream and satisfying his family need not clash. So he thoughtfully gave them a bit more time.
"Hubby, you sure are good to me."
"You've only just realized? It seems I will need to treat you even better in future."
Tangning lay on Mo Ting's chest as she absorbed his unique fragrance. This birthday was enough to make her forget all the past unhappy ones and her life felt like it had been reborn with new meaning and hope.
