Chapter 342
"What happened?" Mo Ting asked quietly after he and Tangning reached a quiet spot .
Tangning gripped tightly to the corner of Mo Ting's shirt and replied with a complex look in her eyes, "It seems he wants to get revenge for Han Yufan . The wife of Director Zheng is Han Yufan's mother and the two of them seem to be on good terms with Elder Zhang . "
Plus, with her status, being bullied at an event like this, was a common occurrence . After all, her career wasn't well established yet and she hadn't done anything particularly deserving of respect .
Mo Ting looked carefully into Tangning's eyes before he grabbed hold of her right hand and said, "Hold on tightly . . . "
Tangning looked down at their intertwined hands and finally felt a lot more relaxed .
After they returned to the ballroom, everyone looked at Tangning in a different light . Mo Ting had already protected Tangning in the open and behind-the-scenes for quite some time, but this was the first time he did it at such a big-scale event . Not too long ago, he had announced her relationship with him, this time, he had made everyone aware of her status .
Tangning watched as Mo Ting conversed with others; she watched as he dodged and avoided difficult questions that were thrown his way . She found herself tightening her grip on Mo Ting's hand .
In this icy cold industry; this industry driven by profits; there was still a man willing to hold onto her hand through all the darkness . Above all, he sheltered her from the storm and guided her in the right direction . Tangning felt, in this lifetime, even if she had to give up her life for Mo Ting, she would do it without regrets .
Feeling his hand had almost lost circulation from Tangning's tight grip, Mo Ting lowered his head and looked at their hands . He then whispered into Tangning's ear, "How tight are you holding my hand?"
At this moment, the couple were standing right beside the fountain, in the most noticeable spot .
Tangning leaned against Mo Ting's shoulder and replied with a raspy voice, "I'm afraid you'd let go . . . "
Everyone was gossiping about her with mixed opinions, but this man remained as the only person she could rely on .
Mo Ting turned his body so he could be face-to-face with Tangning . In front of everyone, he grabbed onto her hands, "I suddenly have the urge to kiss you . " Mo Ting didn't just say it - he immediately pulled her towards him and put his words into action . . .
Everyone gasped . Never would anyone have imagined, these two would be so affectionate even at someone else's wedding .
"Oh God . . . look, look, they're kissing!"
"They can't even control themselves at a place like this . It must be true love, right?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it seems our almighty President Mo has indeed been won over by this model . I don't know how to feel about it, but let's have a few more drinks to lighten the mood . "
Mo Ting's intention was simple: he wanted those that were envious of Tangning to feel even more envious and he wanted to give a slap to the face to those that thought their relationship was just for show!
Afterwards, the newlywed couple approached Mo Ting and Tangning with a warm smile .
Yu Feng wrapped his arm around his bride and said to the couple, "President Mo, this is our wedding . Leave us a bit of the spotlight . . . "
"Feng Ge, I am so sorry," Tangning grabbed a glass of champagne, ready to offer her apologies with a drink . But, Yu Feng simply chuckled .
"I've been in Hai Rui for many years, but I've never seen President Mo protect someone to this extent . The world is filled with turmoil, you should familiarize yourself with it . Events like this are aplenty . . . I suppose you don't want the President to become completely exhausted . "
"Understood," Tangning nodded her head .
"Making yourself more powerful is something you've always been good at doing . "
After speaking, the four people clinked glasses . It seemed, the Mo Ting today wasn't the President of Hai Rui, he was simply family .
"Congratulations on your wedding!"
"Thank you, President Mo . "
Not too far away, Lan Xi glared at Mo Ting and Tangning's intertwined hands . She couldn't help but empty the contents of her champagne glass down her throat . Just like Tangning had said, she was indeed a joke . Especially since, when Tangning was still in Cheng Tian, she had once told her that she wanted to have her way with Mo Ting . Back then, she even thought Tangning's boyfriend wasn't anyone great . . .
Actually, the words she had said to Tangning earlier, was merely because she wasn't willing to accept the facts that were clearly in front of her . . .
Outside the ballroom, the rain continued to pour with no signs of stopping . After the wedding reception finished, the guests were supposed to return to their own respective hotel rooms, but . . . even in the fierce weather, reporters guarded the exit with their umbrellas .
Seeing the reporters' faces reddened from the harsh weather, many of the celebrities stopped to accept interviews .
This included Lan Xi and Ling Ziyi . After all, they could also do with some publicity .
But, of course, Mo Ting and Tangning were the main targets for the reporters .
"President Lan, the former Cheng Tian model, Tangning, was also present at the wedding today . How did it feel to see her again?"
"I gave my blessings to her" Lan Xi gave a standard response .
"Do you think Ling Ziyi will ever get to the same level as Tangning?"
"She is unique . To me, she has her own charm . . . "
Meanwhile, not too far away, Tangning was being asked similar questions .
"Miss Tang, was it awkward to see your former boss?"
"Miss Tang, rumor has it, you have been absent from Fashion Week because you are partaking in a film, is this true? Have you decided to change career paths and pursue acting instead?"
She had already expected them to ask this question . So, Tangning immediately turned to the man beside her; he had said earlier on that he'd handle questions like this .
Mo Ting wrapped his arm around Tangning's waist and replied, "I think her singing is even better . "
Of course, his answer played Tai Chi around the question .
Their question was related to acting and the runway, yet his answer was about singing . . .
Tangning suddenly had the urge to laugh .
"President Mo, Tangning has been endlessly compared to newcomers recently . Do you mind that she is being compared?"
"Do you have an example?"
"The recently famous Ling Ziyi is a good example . . . "
"Who's that?" Mo Ting asked straightforwardly .
People got famous every day, who were they speaking of?
The reporters understood what Mo Ting meant: Ling Ziyi was like an insignificant cloud in the sky . . .
"In that case, can we ask something a little more personal? When are you guys planning to get married?"
While they were ambiguous, the reporters kept asking when they'd reveal their relationship . now that they had revealed their relationship, their questions had changed to when they'd get married . . .
In response to this question, Mo Ting simply revealed an unpredictable smile . Reporters knew they had reached his limit, so they didn't ask any further . They quickly moved aside and cleared a path for the couple to leave . Under the rainy night sky, the image of the couple leaving together under an umbrella was captured by their cameras . Obviously, this wedding was like a rehearsal for the couple .
Back over on Ling Ziyi's side, she had just heard Mo Ting's response . This was when she realized, she had never held any importance to Tangning and Mo Ting . Even though she took the resources originally allocated for Tangning, she was simply picking up what Tangning didn't want . . .
"Lan Jie, from now on, don't let the media mention Tangning and I in the same breath, I don't want to bring disgrace upon myself . " Previously, Ling Ziyi had been proud of the fact that she had taken Tangning's resources . But . . . she suddenly realized she was a nobody .
Lan Xi watched the couple leave and nodded her head in agreement, "They are at a level that we can't reach . . . "
"Tangning has never been mediocre . "
"Perhaps she still has something up her sleeve to surprise us with . . . I'm just going to sit back in anticipation!"
