Chapter 288
Mo Ting stretched out his hand and stroked Tangning's ink black hair, "This is a given . "
Actually, the thing that Tangning admired the most about Mo Ting was his ability to draw a fine line between love and hate . When someone was right, they were right; when someone was wrong, they were wrong . He was firm on his decisions and never beat around the bush; he was always clear-cut .
That's why she was suited to the entertainment industry .
She was suited to the life of accompanying Mo Ting in this unstable industry . And all he wanted to do was to present her with glory .
After returning to the hotel, Tangning sat by Mo Ting's side as she kept him company while he read through his documents . Mo Ting turned his head to look at Tangning's semi-closed eyes and laughed, "You have an interview with Claude . N tomorrow . Hurry and get some rest . . . "
"I want to hug you to sleep," Tangning replied with a raspy voice .
Mo Ting glanced at the documents in front of him before helping Tangning up and leading her to the bed . After sitting down on the bed, he patted his chest, "Come here . . . "
Tangning flipped aside the blankets and lay beside Mo Ting as she wrapped her arms around his waist .
Mo Ting embraced her with one arm and read through his documents with the other . However, after reading one page, he realized he had no way of flipping to the next . . .
Tangning held his arm tightly in place; it seemed she was doing it on purpose . . .
Mo Ting understood her intention and put down his documents before giving Lu Che a phone call .
"President, Director Ceng has come looking for me quite a few times . He wants to invest in 'Stupid' on behalf of Baiyou Film and Television . But, from what I see, this is his son, J-King's idea . "
"We already have sufficient funds for 'Stupid' . If he comes looking for you again, you can directly turn him away . . . " Mo Ting replied in a deepened voice .
"But, he is a shareholder of Hai Rui . Plus, he has already given 3 . 2% of the shares to his son, J-King . It appears J-King wants to get involved in Hai Rui's operations . I can't guarantee that he won't make a move again in future . "
"Perhaps my recent actions have made them think I've been blinded by love and that their opportunity has come . "
"President, I am merely reporting this incident to you . It is not enough to make you worry," Lu Che immediately explained .
"Keep an eye on their every move . . . "
After speaking, Mo Ting hung up his phone and placed it gently on top of the bedside table .
Hugging Tangning, he lay back down . In the darkness, his eyes fired up; there always had to be a few greedy people that wanted control over Hai Rui's operations .
Did they think just because he was Tangning's manager, he wouldn't be able to manage Hai Rui?
Were they questioning his capability?
. . .
7pm in France; 8am in Beijing .
This was the first night Huo Jingjing officially moved into Fang Yu's home . Of course, nothing happened; she slept in the guest room .
Huo Jingjing woke up early in the morning before she heard Fang Yu's bedroom door open not long after . She spotted Fang Yu wearing a pair of boxers as he entered the kitchen .
Fang Yu was a little surprised; he never expected Huo Jingjing to wake up so early . He immediately ran back into his room and put on a robe before reappearing in front of her .
"Why did you wake up so early?"
"I have an interview today and may need to go overseas in a couple days," Huo Jingjing explained, "Plus, it is almost January . So, for the sake of Fashion Week in March, I may need to remain overseas for quite some time . "
Fang Yu nodded his head, but his face did not show much emotion, "I won't be able to go overseas . There are quite a few matters to deal with at Hai Rui . "
"I don't need you to accompany me the way that President Mo accompanies Tangning . I just . . . " after a short pause, Huo Jingjing continued, "If I am to be gone for 3 months, will I return to find that you have become someone else's boyfriend? Or perhaps, will another female artist like Zhen Manni appear, requiring your protection?"
So, it was a woman's paranoia that was at work .
Fang Yu retrieved some milk and other breakfast ingredients from the fridge . As he closed the fridge door, he replied, "I only have two girlfriends: the big one is currently standing in my kitchen doorway, whilst the little one is sleeping away in my child's bedroom . "
Huo Jingjing felt a little silly . So she scurried behind Fang Yu and wrapped her arms around him, "You don't seem very passionate towards me . "
Fang Yu did not say a word, he simply let out a laugh before freeing himself from Huo Jingjing's embrace and returning to his bedroom . He then came back out holding his household register and handed it to Huo Jingjing, "After she passed away, the incident with Fang Yue happened . All up, it has been 7 years . As my life revolves around the industry, apart from the nanny, you are the only woman that has entered this house . "
"Then what is the meaning of this?"
"If you want to get married . . . let me know . You are the only woman that makes me feel impulsive to do something like that . "
Huo Jingjing froze in surprise . They had just become official yesterday . . . Was he proposing?
"I don't need you to tell me right now . I just want you to know how I feel . "
The two people had both experienced so much and had so much on their shoulders . Being given the opportunity to continue living was already a huge gift from God .
Huo Jingjing held onto the household register as her eyes turned red, "Tangning was right, God always leaves the best for last . I finally feel that all my previous suffering was worth it . "
Fang Yu leaned over and kissed Huo Jingjing on the forehead, "Go get changed and give Yue Er a bath while you're at it . "
On the surface, Fang Yu appeared quite relaxed and often seemed like he was mucking around . But, Huo Jingjing knew, deep inside, he suffered more than many people .
It didn't matter though because she was going to help him have a new lease on life!
. . .
9am, France .
Inside an exceptionally decorated studio, Tangning and Mo Ting met with the world-class designer, Claude . N . He was an old French man with a long beard . As soon as he spotted Tangning's legs, he couldn't take his eyes off them .
"These legs are truly the most beautiful I have ever seen . . . "
"Claude . N, we welcome your collaboration . "
It was sometimes hard to understand the workings of a designer's mind . Of course, for Tangning, being picked for her legs was quite normal; there were cases of models being picked for their bottoms, fingers, feet and even moles .
"I am very pleased . Let's talk about the contract," the designer was set on Tangning . "However, I have one condition . You will need to stay in France and sign on as a model at our subsidiary agency . I need a pair of legs like this; I love legs like this . . . "
After hearing the man's request, Tangning furrowed her brows .
"Of course, your manager can also join us . . . "
Tangning analyzed Claude . N's studio and noticed that his table was covered in photos of model's legs . It seemed his main concept was legs .
"Claude . N, I'm sure I explained things clearly over the phone . She will only partake in this one shoot . "
Mo Ting emphasized his standpoint in a calm tone . In reality, he had not told this man of his real identity .
Claude . N turned around and looked at the couple with an obviously unhappy expression, "Tangning is the first Asian model I have ever invited . Don't tell me you don't want an opportunity as great as this?"
"I'm sure you both know that every model I have ever invited has ended up gaining a lot of attention and hype . "
"Doesn't Tangning need this?"
"She is not selling herself . Even if she is to sell, she would only sell herself to me," Mo Ting replied directly .
