章節 10: Determined to be Reborn
Mo Ting stopped talking and focused his gaze in front of him. Meanwhile, Tangning's gaze was focused on the black mole on Mo Ting's earlobe. It was like he was born with an earring, giving him a slightly evil and dangerous aura.
"The way you're looking at me...are you inviting me to kiss you? hug you? or..."
Tangning held in her nervousness. She reached out her hand and grabbed onto Mo Ting's arm trying to avoid his passionate gaze. "Before we go to our new home, could you accompany me somewhere first?"
"After we go, can we finish off what we didn't finish last night? huh?"
Mo Ting was questioning her casually, but Tangning couldn't hide her nervousness because deep down she knew she may not be able to gather the same amount of courage she had the previous night. Mo Ting did not pressure her, nor did he continue to speak. He just allowed her to continue holding onto his arm as he let out a sneaky smile.
The two of them didn't end up heading straight home as per Tangning's request. Instead they ended up at a famous cherry blossom forest. This was a place Tangning had frequently met Han Yufan, for their dates. However, today, she was going to remove him completely from her heart. So, in the end, she finally picked up her phone, "I am at the cherry blossom forest, where we always met on our dates. If you still want to see me, then meet me there...see you there."
"OK, I will come right away." Han Yufan agreed immediately. Even though he was having an affair with Mo Yurou, he never intended on giving up on Tangning. Where was he going to find another woman that was so easy to trick? Plus, all along she had been loyal to him, she had a good family background and she had a good temper.
Tangning hung up and looked over at Mo Ting who was sitting opposite her. With an honest but choked up voice she promised, "This is the last time I will speak to him on the phone regarding our personal feelings. From now on....never again."
Mo Ting lifted his eyebrows. Without a word, he patted the seat beside him, gesturing for Tangning to sit beside him; giving off a sense of possession.
Tangning obediently sat beside him. The two of them looked out the window of the restaurant at the scene below. Not long after, an anxious figure appeared beneath the cherry blossom tree.
Han Yufan had arrived!
So many times in the past had she stood in the same spot Han Yufan was currently standing in, naively waiting all day. 5 out of 10 times she would be stood up. Thinking about it now, the sincerity she had shown was so easily stepped all over, so...
...being stood up, being played around with, being betrayed...she wanted Han Yufan to experience it all.
"Will this really relieve your hatred?" Mo Ting asked with one arm over Tangning's shoulder as he looked at the figure below them.
"Of course not, but I want him to experience everything I went through, no matter big or small!"
Mo Ting reached out his long fingers and grabbed hold of Tangning's chin. Looking into her eyes, he saw a delicate woman, yet, when she was faced with emotional pain, she could deal with things so cleanly; she ended things quickly like she said she would without an ounce of pretense.
"When ordering, I ordered some foie gras. The waiter said it had come directly from France, I thought it would be quite good."
Mo Ting released her from his grasp and let out a surprised smile, "How did you know I like it?"
"It's not hard to find out my husbands preferences." Tangning gestured for the waiter to start serving their dishes, "Let's eat while we chat."
Mo Ting looked at her pink and soft, rose-like thin lips. His gaze revealed a trace of danger, "But...I don't want to chat, I just want to...kiss you!"
Who said he was the entertainment industry's poison? Obviously...the woman in front of him also carried traces of poison, that was unknowingly addictive.
Downstairs, Han Yufan was still standing in the same spot. While, upstairs in the restaurant, Tangning and Mo Ting were enjoying their meal. Tangning didn't like speaking to Mo Ting about her work and he understood. After helping Tangning twice, he saw her handle things smoothly this time on her own. This little woman sure isn't weak.
However...even though she wasn't weak, she was still Mo Ting's wife. As long as she was his wife, he would make sure she would be doing the bullying and not the other way around.
In a flash, one hour had passed. Downstairs, Han Yufan continued to wait even though he was getting impatient. During this time, he continuously tried to call Tangning, but, Tangning had already turned off all notifications. Unknown to him, at this moment, in the eyes of Tangning and Mo Ting, he was like a gatekeeper standing guard under the tree.
Finally, the two finished their meal. Mo Ting took a glimpse downstairs and asked, "Do you want to continue watching?"
"No, I want you to help me move houses."
Mo Ting nodded and quickly paid the bill, then escorted Tangning out through the side door. Not long after, the couple arrived at Tangning's home. However, as Mo Ting was about to enter, Tangning requested for him to wait outside for 5 minutes. 5 minutes later, as he entered the house, all traces of Tangning and Han Yufan's relationship were gone. Tangning didn't have to remove much, as Han Yufan never stayed over anyway.
"Mo Ting, wait a moment, I am going to pack a few things."
Mo Ting examined Tangning's house. He found a huge photo in the living room; it was a photo of Tangning receiving her trophy for the number one model. If she had never retreated from the industry...she would have already gone international.
5 minutes later, Tangning reappeared from her bedroom holding a teddy bear in her arms, "This is all of my possessions."
"You don't want anything else?"
"No, let's leave the memories behind." Tangning shook her head in certainty. Suddenly, Mo Ting pulled her over to him and pressed down onto her with his cold lips.
At first, Tangning was surprised, but not long after, she closed her eyes and returned his kiss. It was not until Mo Ting's hands uncontrollably reached...under her skirt, did the two suddenly stop. "Let's leave the rest for when we get home. But for now, has my kiss made your memories better?"
Tangning wrapped her arms around Mo Ting. She could feel his calm breaths. From now on, she wasn't going to let anyone hurt her again. She was going to keep what belonged to her, tightly in the palm of her hands.
Back at the cherry blossom tree, Han Yufan had been waiting for four hours. He originally intended to keep waiting, but then...he received a phone call from Mo Yurou, "Yufan, where are you? I am at your home, I can't find you, my stomach is in pain...Yufan, why haven't the photos been removed yet? I'm afraid I will be destroyed like this."
Han Yufan woke up in an instant and quickly rushed home. Seeing Mo Yurou standing pitifully on one foot outside his door, he couldn't help but run up to her. "I won't let you be destroyed and I won't let Tianyi be destroyed."
"Yufan, I only have you. Don't leave me and the baby."
Han Yufan comforted Mo Yurou, patting her gently on her back. That night he forced his staff to release a statement that there were others there at the time. The truth was that Mo Yurou lost her footing because of her injured right leg and accidentally fell into the arms of Han Yufan with both of them landing on the bed.
It's not like how it appeared in the photos, they weren't kissing on the bed.
Most importantly, at a time like this, Han Yufan still wanted to sacrifice Tangning by hinting someone was behind all of this and telling the public not to be fooled.

Yunyi Mo Ting seems to have fallen for Tangning already. I love how the author describes her as an addictive poison.
This novel is published in serial form. The release schedule is 2 chapters a day, 1 at 9am and 1 at 2pm (server time +8).
章節 11: Cure Hatred
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?"
