After leaving Cheng Tian, Tangning did not go directly home. She originally planned on visiting Mo Ting at Hai Rui, but upon arriving outside Hai Rui, Lu Che told her over the phone that Mo Ting was not there.
Tangning stopped her car inside Hai Rui's carpark; she did not leave immediately. Instead, she sat around thinking about the contradiction between her and Lan Xi; there was a complex look in her eyes.
Not long after, Long Jie suddenly patted Tangning on the arm and pointed out the window. Tangning followed Long Jie's gaze and realized Mo Ting and Lu Che was inside the carpark.
"Didn't Lu Che say Big Boss isn't at Hai Rui?" Long Jie anxiously whispered as she looked at Tangning. Because of what previously happened with Han Yufan, Long Jie was afraid Tangning would suffer emotionally; she especially didn't want to see Tangning being lied to.
Tangning watched as Mo Ting and Lu Che left, her expression did not change. She simply looked at Long Jie and felt she was overreacting, "You're thinking too much."
'Aren't you afraid at all?' Tangning didn't say anything, she just pulled out her phone and selected Mo Ting's number. After Mo Ting picked up, she directly asked, "Where are you right now?"
"Are you checking up on me?" hearing Tangning's question, Mo Ting's lips curved upwards.
"Then are you going to let me check?"
"I was at the agency a moment ago, but now I'm on my way to see a client," Mo Ting replied gently.
"Lu Che said you weren't at Hai Rui."
Mo Ting lifted his head and looked sharply at Lu Che who was currently driving. Afterwards, he responded to Tangning, "That was not my instructions. Are you still at Hai Rui?"
"Uh huh," Tangning's voice sounded slightly pitiable.
"Then let me turn the car around and pick you up so you can teach Lu Che a lesson."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Ting placed his phone inside his suit pocket and looked at Lu Che fiercely,
"Do I need to reevaluate your ability? Lu Che? This will be the last time I say this, don't lie to Tanging. Even if it is something as simple as whether I am around or not. If Tangning hadn't called to ask and decided to keep this doubt inside of her, over time, what do you think would happen with our relationship?"
Lu Che felt a little guilty as he quickly apologized, "Sorry President, I just didn't know what excuse to use to block madam."
"I didn't ask you to make excuses to brush off Tangning. If you didn't say anything then she wouldn't have suspected anything."
"Understood."
Lu Che was indeed impressive when it came to work. But when it came to EQ, he was a little lacking; this was why he still did not have a girlfriend!
Mo Ting made Lu Che turn the car around and successfully picked up Tangning. He pulled her into his embrace and explained, "I didn't tell Lu Che to say I wasn't around."
"I know," Tangning nodded her head. "Did you think I would believe his words over yours?"
Lu Che looked down guiltily...
...seeing Tangning had not arrived, Ling Feng removed his sunglasses and whispered something to his assistant. His assistant immediately asked An Zihao, "Where's Tangning?"
An Zihao looked at Ling Feng and quickly pulled out a wine glass. He filled it to the brim, "Tangning just returned from Moscow today and was feeling a little nauseous from the flight. On the way here she vomited all over the car. So I had no choice but to take her home. I am extremely apologetic towards Ling Feng, let me punish myself by drinking 3 glasses."
After hearing his words, Ling Feng's expression did not look impressed. His manager stood up and slammed his hands on the table, "What does Tangning mean by this?"
"Ling Feng, Tangning didn't avoid coming here on purpose. She was actually saying earlier that she often watches your dramas and really likes you. That's why we left home early just to see you. But who would have thought, she almost fainted on the way here..." An Zihao was lying like it was the truth as he sculled down three glasses of wine.
"Did she really say that?" Ling Feng's ego was satisfied as his anger subsided.
"Definitely!"
"Fine, since that's the case, I won't blame her. Help me send my regards and let her know I look forward to the shoot in 2 days." After speaking, Ling Feng stood up and placed his sunglasses back on.
After he left, An Zihao revealed a cold expression. He knew, at present, he had merely dealt with Ling Feng's pride.
"Ling Feng, will you really let that small-time model off the hook?" Ling Feng's manager asked in an unsatisfied tone.
Ling Feng chewed the gum in his mouth; the atmosphere seemed a little sinister. With an attitude fitting of his age, he replied, "How dare that old model stand me up? Fine, if she doesn't show up today, I can also be absent from the shoot. Let's see her panic..."
"Let's see where she'll find a male lead!"
