After Han Yufan's PR news was posted up, he paid out a few influential social accounts to help them clean their reputation. In the next three days he used every method he could to clean up Mo Yurou's professionalism and image - again, his intention was to continue throwing the blame on Tangning. After all, gossip like this usually only lasted a few days before the public became bored. Once new news gets released, this little scandal would just disappear into the depths of everyone's memories. It wouldn't be long before Mo Yurou would be able to return to work.
Their plan was to help Mo Yurou win the Top Ten Model Awards and then announce she would be going overseas to study. At that time, she could sneakily give birth to their child. The only reason Han Yufan was willing to accept the child was because Mo Yurou was his first love and she had stayed by his side patiently for many years. On top of everything, Mo Yurou currently had a promising future, so he wasn't going to give up on this money tree.
Tangning's manager had an expression of irony as she looked at the PR news Han Yufan had released. She sneaked over to Tangning's home and let herself in since she had the keys, but to her surprise, Tangning wasn't home.
So, out of uncertainty, she decided to give Tangning a call, "Tangning, why aren't you home?"
Tangning was in the middle of filling up a bathtub for Mo Ting. She let out a chuckle, "I haven't had the chance to tell you...I moved houses."
"Where did you move to? Is it safe? Does Han Yufan know?"
Tangning turned around and looked at Mo Ting who had just entered the bathroom. Just as she was about to explain, she was interrupted by Mo Ting, who didn't realize she was on the phone, "Stuff like this, you should have left it to the maid..."
On the other side of the line, Long Jie listened attentively. She heard the voice of a man and immediately asked in a high pitch voice, "Tangning, who are you with? In order to upset Han Yufan, have you used extreme measures? I knew it, who would give a helping hand to a retreated model during this time of chaos. You...you're really frustrating me, is someone supporting you?"
"Where are you? I'll come get you...you don't need to stoop so low..."
"Where are you? I want to see you right now, or else I'll die!"
Tangning didn't know what to do. She looked over at Mo Ting as she covered the mouthpiece on her phone and asked for his opinion, "My manager seems to have a misunderstanding regarding my moving houses. So...I need to pop out for a little to explain to her."
"Do you trust her?" In actual fact, Mo Ting had already investigated Long Jie in private. She was passionate and professional - even though she was often simple-minded and far from being a top manager - but she was loyal to Tangning and was a helpful person to have around.
"Uh huh."
"Then let me immediately go pick her up."
Tangning thought about it carefully. She understood what Mo Ting meant and trusted his judgment. She was no longer the Tangning from the past that would allow others to play games right before her eyes. So, she told Long Jie she would be sending someone over to pick her up from her old house.
Long Jie sighed, giving off a sense of disappointment.
Tangning smiled as she hung up. She put down the phone and turned to Mo Ting, "I've filled the bath, are you going to bathe yourself now?"
Mo Ting raised an eyebrow as he re-buttoned his shirt, covering up his attractive collarbone, "We have a guest, the man of the house must be present...most importantly, I want to bathe...with you."
Tangning blushed, but...nodded shyly.
...
Long Jie was extremely frustrated, she felt it wasn't worth it for Tangning to give up so much for Han Yufan. She especially couldn’t believe that Tangning had willingly thrown herself at a man when there was obviously no true love in the entertainment industry. Most people in the industry just wanted one night of fun – the next day they would pretend they don’t know each other. How can she be so silly to take part in something like this?
Long Jie was fuming as she walked back and forth cursing under her breath until Lu Che arrived at the house and saw Long Jie, "If you want to see Miss Tang, come with me."
Long Jie was familiar with Mo Ting, however…she didn’t recognize Lu Che at all. So, she wasn’t very friendly towards him. She lifted her leg and gave him a kick, "If anything happens to my precious Tangning, I will paralyze both you and your boss."
Lu Che held his tidy hairstyle in place, the sudden kick made it hard for him to keep his image as his face screwed up in pain, "Let’s not talk about who’s going to paralyze who, come with me first."
Long Jie gave a "hmmph", raised her head and glared at Lu Che as she boarded the car with him. Throughout the entire journey, Long Jie tried to test Lu Che by threatening him with all different methods, even mentioning Tangning’s family background. All that was missing was a knife to his neck. Finally, as the car pulled up into the estate, Long Jie finally grew silent in shock.
Hyatt Regency, this was one of the landmarks of the city of Beijing.
This estate only housed 30 households. Each household was rich and powerful. Just simply searching up the background of any random house in this area would make the average person speechless.
"He...he....who the hell is your boss?" Long Jie felt weak at her knees.
"You will find out once you go inside," Lu Che replied in an annoyed tone. He too had a bit of a temper.
Long Jie’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest in fear as the fire inside her subsided - whoever was inside was definitely not someone she would dare mess with. Not long after, the car swerved in through a metal gate that surrounded a beautiful villa with a fountain out front. Long Jie was escorted out of the car and into a Spanish palace-style living room.
Tangning was sitting on the sofa wearing comfortable white home clothes, she didn't have any makeup on, but she was just as beautiful as ever.
"Tangning, what is all this? Did you find yourself a rich old man?" Long Jie asked in a hushed whisper as she approached Tangning, "Did you sacrifice yourself for the sake of Han Yufan?"
"Long Jie, there’s something I need to tell you. But…you can’t be upset." Tangning pulled Long Jie onto the sofa next to her.
"Speak…did you find a new boyfriend?"
"No…" Tangning shook her head, holding back a smile.
"That’s good…"
"I’m married."
Long Jie: "…"
After a couple of minutes, she suddenly burst out, "What did you say? You’re married? Who did you marry? Why would you play games with your happiness?"
While Long Jie was questioning Tangning, Mo Ting had just finished dealing with some business issues and appeared out of the study room upstairs. To Long Jie’s surprise, he walked over to just behind the sofa, leaned over affectionately and whispered gently into Tangning’s ear. Tangning turned to face Mo Ting and nodded obediently, "I know, I won’t take longer than half an hour."
Mo Ting was pleased with her response. He observed Long Jie for a moment and headed back upstairs. Everything that happened in this short moment was enough to make Long Jie freeze in disbelief.
"Tangning, quick, pinch me. I want to know if I’m dreaming."
"Why?" Tangning tugged at her to bring her back to her senses,
"So, the person you married is the CEO of Hai Rui Entertainment, Mo…Ting?"
"Uh huh."
"For real?" Long Jie asked again to confirm.
"You’re not seeing things, it’s him, my new husband," Tangning nodded seriously.
After hearing her answer, Long Jie went from extreme sadness to extreme happiness. "No wonder your article stayed at the top of search rankings and Han Yufan had no way of removing it no matter how much money he spent. Tangning, this is such a great surprise!"
"You’ve made the right decision! If you’re going to get married, it definitely can’t be with trash like Han Yufan. I just never thought you would actually marry the CEO of Hai Rui Entertainment. Hai Rui is on a whole new level than Tianyi! So refreshing…this completely cures my hatred. If Han Yufan was to find out, how satisfying would that be?"
Long Jie definitely provides a bit of comic relief to the story, don't you agree?
"But, I do not have plans to announce my relationship with Mo Ting as of yet," Tangning explained calmly. She gave off a confident and dazzling aura, "With the help of Mo Ting, I know my career would advance in leaps and bounds, but, other people would only acknowledge me as Mo Ting’s wife and not Tangning the model. 3 years ago, I managed to become the top model in Beijing, now, 3 years later, I am confident I can do it again with my own ability. I will retrieve what originally belongs to me."
"Long Jie, if you are still willing to help me, then we are going into this together. If you don’t want to, I won’t pressure you. I will help you cancel your contract with Tianyi and help you find a job at a better company."
"What nonsense are you speaking? Of course I want to stay by your side. I want to become the top manager of an international supermodel," Long Jie replied confidently, "But, are you planning to stay at Tianyi Entertainment?"
"What do you think?" Tangning gave Long Jie a look, letting her figure the answer herself, "Han Yufan has used me so many times. No matter what…I will pay him back for it."
After hearing what Tangning had to say, Long Jie burst out laughing as she leaned on Tangning; her shoulders shaking from laughter, "Tangning, I realized all these years I have known you has been a waste, I never knew you could be so sneaky. So what’s the next move, what should we do? Release the video?"
"No…let’s secure a spokesperson deal. To be precise, let’s take what originally belonged to me right out of Mo Yurou’s hands. Afterwards, Mo Yurou’s fans will definitely complain. The video should be released at that time!"
"Long Jie, you will need to work hard for a little longer. Help me edit the clips from the Crown’s Star show and post it online."
"OK, no worries! Leave it with me!" After hearing the plan, Long Jie’s eyes lit up as she nodded her head. Most importantly, she had discovered Tangning was different - she used to be weak and fragile, but, who would have thought, when triggered, she would be this powerful.
After their conversation, Tangning asked Lu Che to escort Long Jie home, before she got up from the sofa and headed back into the beautifully scented bedroom. Mo Ting had just changed into a robe and was sitting on the sofa enjoying a glass of red wine. His chin tilted up giving him a more defined jawline like a perfectly carved sculpture; making one’s heart flutter.
Tangning was nervous but still walked over to sit beside Mo Ting. Mo Ting continued sipping from his glass, when suddenly…he reached over and grabbed onto her shoulder as he placed his lips against hers. He still had the wine in his mouth as he shared the aromatic flavor with Tangning.
Tangning was caught off guard as her face flushed red. Mo Ting laughed gently as he kissed her on the tip of her nose, "If you can’t drink you will be at a disadvantage when invited to events, you need to train…"
Tangning pushed her body against Mo Ting's smooth chest, "In that case, President Mo, what do you propose?’
"Drink a small glass every day, what do you say?"
"Using the same method as just then?" Tangning raised her eyebrows with a slightly provocative look.
Mo Ting couldn’t help but let out a gentle laugh as he nodded, "Did you like it?"
"Uh huh," Tangning nodded.
"Let's do that then." After he spoke, Mo Ting once again raised the glass to his lips. Using the same method, he once again leaned over, but this time….after they had finished drinking the wine, they did not separate. They continued to kiss passionately as they treated the sofa beneath them like a bed.
As Mo Ting's intermittent kisses slowly made it's way to other parts of her body, Tangning could feel her body shaking, she could no longer think straight. Never had she experienced such an electrifying feeling making her whole body weak like sand. In the heat of the moment, all she could see was Mo Ting's handsome nose bridge and his soft lips, but, she could feel his strong arms, and...
"Mo...Ting...let's go to the bed, I don't want to do it...on the sofa."
Hearing her plea, Mo Ting suddenly stopped. Looking down at her long slender legs, so beautiful like the tail of a mermaid, he held in his desires as he wrapped Tangning in a bathrobe. He lifted her up and took her into the bathroom, placing her gently into the bathtub.
"What is it?"
Mo Ting wrapped a towel around his body and kneeled before Tangning. He lifted her chin and spoke, "I want your heart first. When I am the only person in your heart, I will make you completely mine." After he finished speaking, Mo Ting stood up, but, Tangning reached out her hand to grab hold of his towel.
"I do not dislike...us...doing this. Do you still not trust me?"
Mo Ting patted Tangning gently on the head, calming himself down at the same time, "I really want you...you don't know how attractive you are, but, I want all of you; body and heart...I want to wait for you to be certain."
Tangning nodded, holding onto Mo Ting's left hand, "It's been a long time since someone has treated me with respect."
Mo Ting understood what she meant. Even though he wanted to crush Han Yufan into pieces...Mo Ting had faith, Tangning would be able to depend on her own abilities to get what she wants.
...
The next morning, the scandal between Tianyi’s two models had already been replaced by the new headlines of the day. While at the same time, Han Yufan and Mo Yurou’s rumors had been covered up by Tianyi’s PR - the hype of entertainment news had always dissipated as quickly as it appeared. However…due to Tangning’s responsible attitude of standing out and taking on all blame, she had gained herself a huge number of new fans. These fans were now searching online for Tangning’s old appearances and photos…
No one noticed, Tangning at this moment, was slowly making a comeback.
Especially during the Crown’s Star Show, Tangning’s performance had definitely surpassed all the current hottest models. Her new fans felt it was unfair for Tangning to go to waste, so they all started sharing her videos online, while contacting hf. After seeing the videos of Tangning, hf was amazed by Tangning’s beauty. In particular, after seeing Tangning’s multitude of photos and poses, the designer that had got angry at Tangning on the day of the show suddenly realized how well Tangning matched his jewelry....it was like they were made for each other.
hf’s designer pondered for a little bit. His judgment was previously affected by Tianyi’s lies, but now that he had time to calm down and think about it, Tangning’s elegance and professionalism was definitely better suited to the theme of the Crown’s Star.
Also, because of Tangning’s attitude towards admitting wrong, hf had developed a sense of trust towards her.
So, the higher-ups of hf quickly gathered together for a meeting to discuss swapping the spokesperson. In the end…they came to a consensus. A phone call was made to the office of the president of Tianyi Entertainment.
"Mr Eugene, Yurou is almost recovered from her injuries. The release of your new product definitely won’t be delayed…"
"No, I’m not calling about that. Mr Han Yufan, we would like to swap spokesperson. We would like to swap Mo Yurou for Tangning!" he said in perfect English.
After hearing the request, Han Yufan didn’t know how to react, "No, Mr Eugene, I don’t think that’s right"
"We haven’t officially signed the contract yet. If you are not willing to swap for Tangning, we’d rather cancel this collaboration and look for another company to work with."
"We have other models, ones that are more famous than Mo Yurou…."
"We only want Tangning."
Mr Eugene was set on his decision, leaving Han Yufan with no choice but to agree. However, this deal was originally Mo Yurou’s means of securing the Top Ten Model Awards, who would have thought Tangning would end up benefiting instead. With this change, Mo Yurou was definitely going to throw a tantrum.
The news quickly spread to Long Jie: hf had made a call to Han Yufan’s office requesting to swap spokesperson. So, when she spoke to Tangning on the phone, she was exceptionally excited, "Tangning, Tangning, you got the deal!"
"Don’t get ahead of yourself, Mo Yurou isn’t going to let this happen so easily." Tangning didn’t let her guard down, even though she had the situation in the palm of her hands.
It's always hard to explain intimate scenes, this one was quite fun to translate. I wonder when Mo Ting will completely win Tangning's heart, or does he already have her heart without knowing?
